Chapter 249: Why is the daughter all wrinkled, like a rat?

In mid-to-late January, the temperature on the island was neither cold nor hot.

For the old masters who had lived in the Capital all year round, it was like a warm spring.

On the reservoir side, the military attached great importance to it. After receiving support, the brigade leader of the local village quickly selected two elderly people who had no children and lived in poverty to patrol the reservoir day and night.

They were given a subsidy of ten catties of grain coupons and five yuan every month.

Although it wasn't particularly much, it was enough to cover the daily life of the elderly.

Both elderly people were very grateful to the brigade leader and the military leaders.

This job gave them something to rely on in their later years.

They guaranteed that they would do their best to patrol around the reservoir and advise children not to play by the reservoir.

Of course, as for those young people and old people coming to fish, they wouldn't stop them.

And they consciously made tools like bamboo rafts, bamboo poles, and ropes.

In case something happened, they could also find tools in time to carry out rescue.

Old Master Lu and the others saw two strange faces at the reservoir. After a conversation, they learned that they were patrolmen selected by the local village brigade leader, and they had a friendly exchange.

Besides this reservoir, they also learned about several rivers and ditches.

Don't underestimate small rivers and ditches; loaches, eels, and crayfish like to grow in those kinds of places.

After eating too much seafood, they occasionally wanted to change to something refreshing.

Thinking of the telegrams from some old buddies that were full of dirty words, cursing him for being shameless, Old Master Lu felt very smug.

They were all spraying him because they were jealous of him. His life now was comfortable.

"Old Lu, Old Lu, why are you still fishing here? Your grandson's wife is about to give birth!"

"What?"

Old Master Lu was so excited that he kicked over the water bucket by his feet.

"No, isn't my grandson's wife's due date next month? Why did she go into labor early!"

Old Master Lu didn't say a word, scrambled to pack his things, and wanted to leave.

"Quick, get on my ox cart. I'm delivering vegetables to the military region canteen, and I just happened to see your grandson carrying his wife and running towards the military region hospital..."

In short, this old master only heard that kid say his wife was about to give birth and asked him to notify his grandfather if he saw him.

They were all acquaintances, so it was just a small matter of passing a message.

Old Master Lu sat on the ox cart nimbly, his hands unable to control the shaking.

It wasn't that he was frightened, but that he was happy.

His great-grandchild was coming.

Regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl, it was the first child of the third generation of their Old Lu family!

On this side, in the military region hospital.

Pei Yan Ting had only been on holiday for half a month when her due date was advanced, and she returned.

Nurse Gao and the others were all prepared, going all out!

From the moment she entered the hospital, there was a special stretcher, and then she was sent directly to the obstetrics delivery room.

There wasn't a single word of nonsense, and everyone performed their duties.

Lu Xiu Bai went to register and do the procedures.

After doing everything, he came to the outside of the delivery room on the third floor, pacing anxiously.

About half an hour later, Old Master Pei arrived.

Another hour later, Old Master Lu arrived.

Two old men and one young man were pacing outside the delivery room like they were circling.

"Where is Manman?"

"Manman is boiling chicken soup at home, and will send it over when it's boiled."

"Sigh, she is also about to give birth, it's best not to listen to the process of production."

"Mm, I know."

"Have the children's names been taken?"

"Mm, if it's a girl, she's called Lu Ailian, and if it's a boy, she's called Lu Aiguo."

"Okay, the names are not bad."

"Old Lu, do you want a great-grandson or a great-granddaughter?"

"Old Pei, you don't need to test my attitude. Whether it's a boy or a girl, it's the seed of my Old Lu family. I'm not picky, I like them all!"

"Okay, then I have no problem."

"You—"

Just when Old Master Lu wanted to say something else, a loud baby's cry came from the delivery room—

"Waa!"

"This sound, whether it's a boy or a girl, you can tell it's healthy just by listening!"

Old Master Pei touched his chin and smiled lovingly.

"That's right, the seed of my Old Lu family is definitely healthy."

Old Master Lu said smugly, rubbing his hands together, unable to wait to hold the child.

Was it easy for him?

He used to be in poor health, and he would pant after holding his grandson for a while.

After his granddaughter was born, he didn't get to hold her many times either.

Now that his health was better, no one should think about stopping him from being close to the next generation!

"Patter."

The delivery room door opened, and Accountant Gao walked out holding the baby in the swaddling clothes, happily saying:

"Congratulations, congratulations, you have a daughter!"

"Thank you, I have a daughter!"

Lu Xiu Bai beamed with joy, took a look at his wrinkled daughter, and his smile immediately stiffened on his face.

Why is the daughter all wrinkled, like a rat?

Never mind, the daughter his wife risked her life to give birth to for him, even if she were a rat, he would recognize her!

Old Master Lu and Old Master Pei went to hold the swaddling clothes, unable to put them down, and there was nothing for Lu Xiu Bai to do.

"Nurse Gao, how is my wife?"

"Doctor Pei is just a bit tired and has fallen asleep. The director is doing some repairs and stitching for Doctor Pei, and she will be pushed out and sent to the ward later."

Nurse Gao saw that both old masters liked the baby girl born to Doctor Pei, and she felt relieved for Doctor Pei in her heart.

It seemed that Doctor Pei's family didn't have the thought of valuing boys over girls.

And Doctor Pei's husband asked about Doctor Pei's safety first, he was a good husband.

"Okay, I'll wait outside the door. Thank you, doctor and nurse comrades, for protecting my wife."

Lu Xiu Bai bowed to thank them, then looked at the delivery room with bright eyes, and then looked at his daughter. His sense of happiness and husband-feeling were directly full...

"Ailian, Lian Lian, hello, I am your great-grandfather."

"I am your great-great-grandfather."

"..."

The newborn baby didn't understand anything; she was either crying or sleeping.

At this moment, little Ailian was sleeping very soundly.

Her little eyes hadn't opened yet, and her skin was still red; one couldn't tell if she was beautiful or ugly at all.

But the love in the eyes of the two old masters couldn't be hidden.

Half an hour later, the delivery room door opened.

Pei Yan Ting had been specially cared for by her colleagues in the department. Her body had been wiped clean. Apart from blood loss, her face was a bit pale, but her spirit was very good.

"Is the family here?"

"Yes!"

"Shh, be quiet, don't wake the baby."

"Yes, yes, yes."

"The parturient had a natural birth, all vital signs are normal. Now we will arrange for her to enter the delivery room and stay for three days. During this period, she needs someone to take care of her in time..."

Lu Xiu Bai listened carefully, not missing a single medical order.

Because his wife suddenly went into labor early, he would take three days of paternity leave to take care of his wife personally throughout the process.

His sister and brother-in-law would also help make nourishing soup and send it over.

The two grandfathers came uninvited; it looked like they were going to share the work.

The birth of a new life received the full support of relatives and friends!

Pei Yan Ting took a look at her daughter and fell asleep contentedly.

It's really great, seven catties and seven taels, not light.

Just now the director also cut off some fat for her, which would help her postpartum shaping and physical recovery.

When she was discharged from the hospital, she would popularize science to her sister that childbirth wasn't that scary.

Behind them, there were colleagues from the obstetrics department to escort them, and the support of family and friends, so they wouldn't be in a hurry... ===== CHAPTER 250 =====
