Chapter 1492: The Most Important Thing for a Family is Unity
Zichen explained, "The military is a serious matter, but it's not that they don't want you. Didn't they say they were letting you take leave? It's not like they're firing you directly. Even if we take a step back and assume they were going to fire you, you still have school."
"If even the school doesn't want me..."
The deep-seated inferiority in Litian's bones erupted again; he was terrified that the whole world would abandon him.
In reality, things were not as serious as he thought; it was the specific nature of his unit that made his background sensitive. If he returned to school, there would be no impact at all.
But Zichen did not tell him the truth; he wouldn't believe it if told at this moment.
Zichen followed his train of thought and continued, "Fine, even if the school doesn't want you, you still have family. Family is always your safest harbor. No matter what you are like or what your background is, your family will never look down on you. You are my brother, a member of our Sheng Family. We are five brothers and sisters; we are one fist."
Litian was bathed in tears, and the eyes of Yuxin and Feifei were also moist.
It had to be said that Zichen's ability to stir emotions was truly strong; Litian's anxious heart was filled with warmth.
"One fist?"
"Yes, one fist!"
"The five of us brothers and sisters, each one is a finger, and together we are a fist. We must face the wind and waves together; no difficulty can crush us or defeat us."
The brothers hugged each other tightly.
After careful consideration, the military's research decision came down quickly: Litian's leave was ended early, and he was to return to the military.
But he could not continue to stay in the special forces; he had to leave the Island and go to a combat unit on the mainland, and there would be no negative information left on his file.
Although this result was still not entirely satisfactory, it was because Litian had deep feelings for the sea.
He loved the sea, yet he could not be kept there, but it was already very good; at the very least, he could continue to stay in the military.
Before returning, Litian said a lingering goodbye to Lu Feifei; he told her to wait for him, and in another year, he would be back.
Jiangzhou.
Yun Family.
At 2:20 AM, Shi Ran was woken up by pain.
She held her belly and called out to her husband, "Qi Tian, wake up, my stomach hurts, my stomach hurts so much." Qi Tian woke up immediately. He scrambled to turn on the light, comforted his wife, helped her put on her coat, told the driver to prepare the car, and finally grabbed the bag that had been prepared long ago to go to the hospital for delivery.
"How are you feeling? Let me carry you down."
"I'm fine, it's much better. I can walk myself; I'm not that delicate."
Both of them had undergone training and knew that the birth wouldn't happen that quickly.
But Qi Tian was still very nervous; he was even more nervous than his wife, Shi Ran.
Qi Tian helped Shi Ran walk down the stairs, and his parents-in-law had also dressed neatly and followed them out.
The car was already parked outside. Qi Tian helped his wife into the car, and his parents-in-law followed along, while at the same time, a call was made to the Sheng Family.
"Okay, we'll be there right away."
Shi Youxuan hung up the phone and was just about to nudge her husband awake when she discovered he was already awake.
The couple quickly put on their coats and rushed to the hospital at the fastest speed possible.
Jian Family Hospital.
In front of the delivery room, everyone was waiting outside, but Qi Tian was incredibly anxious, pacing back and forth in the hallway incessantly.
Shi Youxuan was also worried about her daughter in the delivery room, but she had given birth to several children herself and had seen many women give birth, so she was experienced and knew that a first birth wouldn't be that fast.
Soon, Jian Yixin also arrived: "How is it? What time did Ranran go in?"
"Why did you come too, in the middle of the night?"
"What does it matter if it's the middle of the night? No matter what time it is, I have to come. How could I not come when my goddaughter is giving birth?"
Both of Shi Youxuan's daughters had taken Jian Yixin as their godmother.
Everyone kept watch outside the delivery room, waiting very anxiously. Everyone knew that the first birth takes a long time, so although they were worried, they were not at a loss.
The doctors and nurses had been arranged two months in advance. The nurse and doctor delivering for Shi Ran were the most experienced.
But Yun Qitian was not doing well; he kept looking at his watch, pacing anxiously in the hallway, and pressing his head against the glass to look inside, but unfortunately, he couldn't see anything.
Ma Ling'er said to her son, "Don't be anxious, it won't be that fast. Come over and sit down to wait; stop pacing back and forth, you're making me dizzy."
But just as her voice fell, a nurse came out carrying a swaddled bundle: "Family of Shi Ran."
People hurried over.
The nurse said, "Mother and daughter are safe. It's a little princess. Eight jin."
Hearing that mother and daughter were safe, everyone's faces were filled with joy.
But Yun Qitian couldn't stand anymore and slumped limply toward the ground!
His father and father-in-law each took one side and supported him, and only then did he manage to stand.
If this were any other matter, Yun Qitian would definitely have been scolded.
But now there was none; the two old men beside him had "experience" and knew what the mood was like when becoming a father for the first time.
The nurse asked the baby's father to hold the child, but he didn't dare to!
A soft, tiny little bundle, as precious as fragile porcelain; he didn't dare to touch it at all.
There is a custom in Jiangzhou: it is said that when a child is carried out of the delivery room, whoever holds them first, the child's personality will be like that person in the future.
Qi Tian didn't dare to hold her, so Ma Ling'er asked Shi Youxuan to hold her.
"You hold her. If our Baobao is like her grandmother in the future, the Yun Family will have hope."
"You hold her instead; you are the child's grandmother."
The two women who had just been promoted were deferring to each other!
Ma Ling'er: "I can't. I have self-awareness; your brains and insight are much better than mine. It's better for Baobao to be like you."
The Yun father and son were of the same mind, so Shi Youxuan stopped deferring and took the child from the nurse's hands.
She held her for the first time.
It was only for a moment.
The child was quickly taken away by Ma Ling'er; she was the child's grandmother, and although it was her own daughter who had suffered, at the end of the day, it was still an addition to the Yun Family.
Soon, Shi Ran was also wheeled out of the delivery room and returned to the Hospital Ward.
In the Hospital Ward, as soon as Shi Ran was settled, she couldn't wait to ask to see her child.
This was the treasure she had carried for ten months, the crystallization of the love between her and her husband, and the continuation of their lives.
The Baobao was brought to Shi Ran, and she fell in love with her at just one glance.
A soft and delicate little person, she did not have the wrinkled, red appearance of a typical newborn; her skin was white with a rosy tint, she was chubby, and her eyes were closed and had not yet opened.
But after arriving by her mother's side, as if by Telepathy, she suddenly opened her eyes and rolled them.
"She glared at me!" Shi Ran found it amusing.
Qi Tian leaned over and said to his wife, "Let me see how she glared at you?"
"Baobao, glare at Daddy!"
The newly minted novice father was delighted, actively seeking to be "glared at."
At this moment, an infuriating situation occurred.
The little one who had just been born did not glare at her father; instead, she opened her little mouth and smiled.
The smile was so, so sweet; at this moment, Yun Qitian felt as if he possessed the whole world!
No, that wasn't right—all the beauty in the world could not compare to the first smile his daughter had given him!
