Even though Yu Xiangnian felt extremely reluctant to give up, even though she knew that life and death ahead were uncertain, she still had to support Cheng Jingmo without hesitation so that Cheng Jingmo would have no worries.
"I'll take you out," she said.
Walking outside the house, the whole family courtyard was a scene of farewell.
Some women were already crying, wiping their tears and saying, "You must be careful. My children and I are waiting for you to come back at home!"
The men were wearing military uniforms, holding back tears, pursed their lips and nodded, "Don't worry, we will come back safely!"
At this time, Xiaojie came back from school.
He grew up in a family home. When he saw such a scene for the first time, he already had a premonition of something.
He quickly ran to Cheng Jingmo, "Uncle, where are you going?"
Cheng Jingmo touched Xiaojie's head and said, "Uncle is going out on a mission. You have to take good care of your aunt and your younger brothers and sisters at home!"
Xiaojie shook his head with tears in his eyes, "Uncle, don't go!"
"Are you a man?" Cheng Jingmo asked.
Xiaojie nodded.
"Men, don't cry!" Cheng Jingmo said, "You are the only man in the family now, do you want to take good care of them?"
Xiaojie: "..." After thinking about it, he nodded!
Cheng Jingmo said: "Keep your word! Wait until I come back to check your results!"
The military bugle sounded different from the usual routine.
All the soldiers straightened their clothes, saluted their families, turned around, and moved forward!
Yu Xiangnian burst into tears looking at the military green figures retreating one after another.
This time, I don’t know how many women have lost their husbands, and how many children have lost their fathers!
I just hope they return safely!
Another labor pain hit, and Yu Xiangnian couldn't stand still due to the pain.
She clutched her stomach and looked in pain. Xiaojie stepped forward to support her and asked anxiously: "Auntie, what's wrong with you?"
"Xiaojie, Auntie is going to have a baby." Yu Xiangnian forced himself to calm down so that Xiaojie wouldn't panic, "Come with me to the hospital!"
The army must be so busy now that no one can call her to take her to the hospital.
"Yeah!" Xiaojie nodded heavily.
Feng Aiqin was still standing not far away, looking at her man's back reluctantly.
Xiaojie's voice caught her attention.
She had already given birth to three children and was very experienced. As soon as she saw how painful Yu Xiangnian was, she knew that Yu Xiangnian was going to have a baby!
"Ouch! She's about to give birth!" Feng Aiqin ran over anxiously and supported Yu Xiangnian.
Then, she shouted loudly: "Comrade Yu is about to give birth! Who knows how to ride a bicycle, come and take her to the hospital!"
Liu Zhen and Wang Hongxiang have bought bicycles at home to facilitate their business, and they have learned to ride bicycles.
Wang Hongxiang shouted hurriedly: "I can, I can, wait until I get home and push the bicycle out!"
After the labor pain, Yu Xiangnian took two deep breaths and straightened up, "Sister-in-law Aiqin, thank you."
"Why are you talking about this! Quickly pack up and go to the hospital!"
"I've packed my things. I'm going home to get them now."
In this way, Wang Hongxiang carried Yu Xiangnian, Liu Zhen carried Feng Aiqin, and Xiaojie rode a bicycle alone to the military hospital.
Zhao Ruozhu has been busy here for a whole day and hasn't even touched the ground yet.
The hospital had to arrange for doctors to follow him to the border. Everyone was vying to go, and it was not easy to get the person.
As soon as she picked up the bowl and prepared to take a sip of water, another nurse came to report to her.
"Vice President Zhao, Dr. Sun from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology asked me to tell you that your daughter is about to give birth, but no family members are here. They need to sign."
Zhao Ruozhu put down the drinking bowl and rushed towards the obstetrics and gynecology department.
"These two little bastards have to come out to cause trouble today!"
Yu Xiangnian was in so much pain that he kept sucking air-conditioning. Every time the pain came, Yu Xiangnian clutched the sheets tightly, gritted his teeth, and endured it without saying a word.
These family members are all people who have given birth to children, and they can't help but admire them: Comrades who are usually so delicate can be more tolerant than them at critical moments.
When Zhao Ruozhu walked into the ward, he saw three family members and Xiaojie guarding Yu Xiangnian.
Her nose suddenly became sore.
"Nian Nian..." She walked to the hospital bed and took Yu Xiang Nian's hand, "Be patient, mom is here!"
Yu Xiangnian was too hurt to speak, so he half-closed his eyes and nodded.
The sky was getting dark, and Wang Hongxiang and the others had to go back to take care of their children. They hadn't even had dinner yet.
"Thank you, sisters-in-law, please go slower on the road." Yu Xiangnian forced himself to see them off.
Zhao Ruozhu and Xiaojie were left in the ward.
Yu Xiangnian slowly calculated the duration of labor pains, and now the frequency of pain was about once every twenty minutes.
Yu Xiangguo also rushed to the hospital with his elder sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, and two children.
Now he is the only man left in the family.
Yu Xiangnian was in so much pain that he couldn't eat, but he still insisted on eating a small bowl.
She would probably be in pain for the rest of the night, so she had to conserve her strength.
Zhao Ruozhu sent Yu Xiangguo and the others back, "I'll just keep watch here. You can't do anything here. Go home first."
"By the way, Xiang Guo, bring the nanny to the hospital tomorrow morning."
"Xiaojie, go back with them and ask your uncle to take you to school tomorrow morning!"
Xiaojie shook his head stubbornly, "I won't go back, I want to guard my aunt."
Zhao Ruozhu: "..."
"Mom, let him watch, he won't go back." Yu Xiangnian said, "Xiaojie, if you get sleepy, just sleep on the bed next to you."
Xiaojie looked at Yu Xiangnian's life-and-death pain and couldn't help but shed tears, "Auntie, let me rub your belly."
"Okay, rub it."
Although rubbing it can't relieve the pain, it can relieve the pain in Xiaojie's heart.
the other side.
Taking advantage of the darkness, large trucks drove towards the border.
In the car, all the soldiers were fully armed, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was dull.
Cheng Jingmo leaned against the car and fell asleep with his eyes closed. His heart ached as if someone had cut open the wound with a knife.
Yu Xiangnian is about to give birth, but he can't even send her to the hospital!
Yu Xiangnian even scratched her finger and moaned for half an hour. Can she bear the pain of giving birth?
His two children could not even see their father when they were born, and they don’t know when they will see their father again!
Thinking of these, Cheng Jingmo's chest was so tight that he couldn't breathe!
After traveling all night, on the second day, when the sky was still gray, they arrived a few kilometers outside the border.
The next road is all deep mountains and dense forests, and they have to hike into the mountains.
This is a primeval forest, and everything after entering the mountain is unknown.
