Chapter 134

Zhao Lanxiang took two perilla plums to eat. It was strange because she had always been very resistant to such things as perilla. Before, she could not touch it at all.

But the plum with the smell of perilla, she could eat it. The surface of the plum is covered with a layer of frost, soft in the mouth, sweet and sour. It was delicious, full of flesh, and refreshing.

Her gaze fell on He Songbai's darkened face. His thin lips had dried up, and the sweat on her head kept flowing. He always came out early and returned late during this time. Zhao Lanxiang thought he was going to the pig farm, but Zhao Lanxiang realized it when she saw the perilla in his hand today.

It was just early this morning that she learned that she could not eat perilla plum, and he saw all her disappointed expressions. He was not indifferent at all.

Zhao Lanxiang's heart was extremely complicated. She felt that she was both silly and sullen. She was ashamed that his cheeks were hot.

She touched the cold plums, and her heart was warm and ashamed.

"Brother Bai, thank you."

"No need for thanks between a couple."

He Songbai hurriedly filled his wife with a bowl of porridge and asked her to eat porridge with the plums. "You try it. Do you have an appetite?"

She nodded.

He Songbai's nervous eyes watched his wife tightly. He watched her eating a bite of plums and drinking porridge. Although she was eating slowly, she didn't vomit until the end of the meal.

"In the future, you can eat it for every meal. I heard that it had been marinated for a long time, and the taste was quite good."

As He Songbai said that, he also took one to eat. It was sour, sweet, and salty. The other taste has neutralized the sour taste, and it has become soft and long-lasting. Not overwhelming.

He smiled when he saw Zhao Lanxiang, her pink lips twitched carefully, sipping off the white rice grains besides the spoon. Her red lips and white porridge form a sharp contrast. After she finished, she stretched out her soft tongue and licked it, making He Songbai's throat dry.

Zhao Lanxiang saw his lips chapped, and she pushed the second bowl of porridge that she had not finished drinking. "Drink some porridge and quench your thirst."

"No need."

He leaned in behind her, leaned over his head, and grabbed her moist lips deeply.

He drew thirst-quenching water from her mouth.

She had just finished drinking the porridge. Her lips had a sweet smell of perilla, like sweet spring water, which quenched his thirst but also made him on fire.

At noon, a heart-puttering gasp came from inside the sunny room.

The big palm of He Songbai held her increasingly plump chest. His throat rolled, and he said, "Lanxiang, you are getting fat here."

It was fat and soft, and the whiteness was overflowing from between his fingers.

Zhao Lanxiang rolled her eyes and blocked his annoying mouth. Her thumb twisted the tendon in his waist and touched the hard muscles in his belly. She was immediately jealous. Her body has been out of shape because of pregnancy, but he grows taller and stronger. He has been eating and drinking in the country for several months, and he has recovered all the meat that was lost after studying hard in school.

She stripped He Songbai angrily.

He Songbai was immersed in the bliss, and his head was blank, but his elder sister suddenly came over.

"Brother Bai, are you there?" Sister He knocked on the door.

Zhao Lanxiang's fair face was pink, her face was red, and her heart was beating hard, but her voice was very calm, "Brother Bai went out and may not come back until tonight."

"Alright—" Sister He's footsteps gradually disappeared.

He Songbai snorted violently, on the verge of pain and happiness.

...

When the clouds and rain stopped, it was almost dusk.

He Songbai skin was thick and dark, but he was all red at the moment. He sneaked out of the room with the same feeling when they were secretly dating, then get a bucket of water like a thief and took out his wife's bowl to be washed.

"I'm getting some water to bathe Lan Xiang." He said quietly to his elder sister who was washing clothes by the well.

When he came back to get the second bucket, his elder sister asked him, "Where have you been? I was looking for you, and Lan Xiang said you were not there."

He Songbai bowed his head to scrub the dishes hard, "I went out to find Lanxiang's plums. Is there something wrong, Elder sister?"

"Grandma said you need to prepare early and send Lan Xiang to the hospital for delivery in a few days."

"Isn't it too early?"

After all, the pregnancy was just over eight months old. He Songbai scratched his head. His wife's belly appeared in his mind. Although it was only eight months, she looked quite big. She vomited so badly, but she could still raise her baby like this. Many times He Songbai felt guilty when he saw her.

Sister He glanced at her brother. "It's always good to prepare early. In case of a sudden storm and it's suddenly started, it would be a headache. You can't go to the hospital easily here."

He Songbai nodded, "I'm ready."

Going to the hospital means that a benefit from time to time like today is gone. His pregnant wife's enthusiasm makes He Songbai glow with a second spring, moisturizes him with vitality and blood, and every pore is transparent and comfortable.

But for the sake of the baby, He Songbai accepted Granny's opinion. He went back to the room, picking up her clothes in a murky manner, and turned his head over to still see her face red. She was sweetly sleeping soundly.

The sweat stains on her had been wiped clean, and she slept refreshed at the moment.

Her skin became softer and softer with pregnancy as if when he gently pinched her, he could get water. He covered her with a quilt and kissed her tiredly.

...

Zhao Lanxiang originally expected to go to the hospital after reaching nine months, but she couldn't refute He Songbai and went to the hospital half a month earlier for labor.

He got a double room for his wife with "luck." The ordinary beds in the hospital are for eight or even ten people. On a hot day, a few people wander around, which can make pregnant women sweat.

He Songbai dismantled the purchased ice cubes and gave her iced mangoes. The melted ice cubes exuded the cool air and refreshed her heart.

"I know that you are suffering. Endure it for another month?"

Zhao Lanxiang wiped a lot of hot sweat and ate a few pieces of mango. "It doesn't matter. I can bear it. But the city is really hot. The wind in our ravine is cooler."

He Songbai shattered the purchased ice into small pieces, put them in a water bag, and put them on her cheeks, "Cooler?"

The pregnant woman in the bed next to them looked at this man with envy. He waited for his wife so nicely.

She was also hot and sweaty, and she wanted to eat ice-cold fruit, but she could only join others to feel the cool air from her ice cubes.

Zhao Lanxiang asked He Songbai to give the remaining mango to the woman in the bed next to them.

She said with a smile, "Please have some fruit to cool off the heat. When is your expected time?"

The next bed's answer, "In late August, on the 25th."

After listening, Zhao Lanxiang was envious, and she said, "Mine in mid-September. I came too early and suffered. I hope she was born as soon as possible... I have a very naughty baby. She tossed me all day.

The next bed smiled, "It's all the same."

"If you gave birth later when the weather is cooler, your confinement will be more comfortable."

Zhao Lanxiang pursed her lips and smiled, although it was a complaint, but also mixed with joy because He Songbai's all-around service has calmed down her temper during pregnancy.

She put her hand on her round belly and felt Tang Tang's existence more and more strongly every day. Even if it hurt, she was happy.

During the pregnancy period in the countryside, although the days were bland, it was also peaceful. There were a few twists and turns. The only thing that tortured her was that her morning sickness was too strong, but the plums bought by He Songbai finally solved it.

This was also the first time she was so determined that her child would be born safely.

The woman in the next bed reminded in goodwill, "Before giving birth, walk more to strengthen the physique. Your delivery will be smoother by then."

"Your belly looks quite big..."

Zhao Lanxiang also knew that her belly was big and resembled a puffed-up ball, which swelled day by day. In the past, she was afraid of insufficient nutrition and forced herself to eat. Now it's finally possible for her to eat well, so she can't help but eat more.

He Songbai saw his wife's worried eyes and coughed lightly, "Granny has checked everything you eat. She has read a lot of professional books, and you eat very healthily, don't worry."

In early September.

The pregnant woman in the next bed is one week late for her expected date of delivery. She becomes restless and often weeps in the middle of the night.

Even Zhao Lanxiang was nervous. She got up in the middle of the night and subconsciously touched the bed, and she felt a wet spot under her.

Her nervous voice seemed soft and moist, "Brother Bai..."

He Songbai's ears were tortured by the pregnant woman in the next bed. He was already considering whether to transfer to another ward, so that his wife's mentality would be stable.

Zhao Lanxiang screamed again, " Brother Bai..."

There was a trace of panic in this voice.

"My amniotic fluid seems to be broken."

Like a deep-water bomb, this sentence bombarded He Songbai who was still in his dreams. He immediately jumped up.

He turned on the light, glanced at her pants, and quickly rang the hospital bell. After waiting for a while, the nurse on duty did not come late. He supported her vigorously and walked steadily towards the delivery room.

"Don't be afraid—ah?"

"Be calm, you hear? Don't waste too much energy. Eat something first, and you will have a baby."

He put his wife on the bed in the delivery room, quickly made a glass of milk, and fed her to drink.

He thought about something, then he went back to the ward in a hurry and took a bag of things out.

When Zhao Lanxiang opened her eyes, she saw a row of chocolates.

"Hurry up and eat more."

Before Zhao Lanxiang finished half a row, the doctor drove He Songbai out.

She started quickly, and the pain continued to hit like waves of water. She bit her lip and didn't allow herself to howl.

But the fragmented sound overflowing from her lips and the sobbing sound were heard by He Songbai outside the delivery room.

After he sent Zhao Lanxiang into the ward, he stood alone in the corridor and stood there, and there was no news. The night was silent. Every minute and every second, the sound of the watch's slight movement is clear and audible. He Songbai was suffering like hell.

He looked at the watch between his wrists. It was already five in the morning.

Outside the hallway window, the dark night gradually dissipated, punctured by the faint morning light.

He remembered that day when she was walking outside in such faint light during this long waiting time. She was carrying mung bean cake on her back and crisply said to him, "I have only followed my family's discipline in my entire life, my father, my mother, my grandparents. Who are you... to control me, eh?"

Later she became his partner in crime, and everything was dependent on him.

Later, she became his girlfriend. One day, in the same dim light, she went to the pig farm to look for him and looked at him dimly and tearfully.

She said she didn't dislike him, and she was her man no matter how dirty or smelly.

Afterward, she really became his woman, and he was neither too poor nor too sad.

The morning light became thicker and stronger, the white light dispersed the night, and she sang to him in the face of the morning light, "I would like to go upstream and find her direction."

He Songbai also seemed to hear the song.

A loud cry of a baby sounded, and after a while, the door of the delivery room opened.

The doctor took off his mask. His eyebrows were tired, but he couldn't hide his joy, "It's a girl."

He Songbai was overjoyed, and all the memories in his head suddenly stopped, and his eyes were full of her lying in the delivery room and had a baby.

"Wait-doctor, there seems to be another!" the nurse in the delivery room said suddenly.

However, the mother gave birth to a child and was exhausted, as if she had fallen asleep with satisfaction.

"How could there be another one? There is obviously only one in the ultrasound photo."

The smile on He Songbai's face suddenly froze. He stepped forward in three steps and patted Zhao Lanxiang's face vigorously, "Lanxiang woke up, woke up--"

Zhao Lanxiang gave birth to a child the whole night, and she had lost consciousness in pain.

She opened her eyes again and smiled reluctantly, "It seems that I haven't finished yet."

Her voice was shaking.

The first child's head was too big, and the amniotic fluid had drained. She refused to come out, so the doctor had to suck her out.

She vaguely knew that another baby was in her stomach because it was moving and kicking her. She tried hard again for the whole morning.

He Songbai's hands were covered with blood from her body. He kept mumbling, "Don't be afraid, hold on. I'll be here with you."

"Lanxiang, be brave."

"This is Dahai, our Dahai. We must work hard to give birth to him."

In He Songbai's wrist watch, the shorthand had already pointed to six o'clock in the afternoon. The warm sunset light leaked out of the window.

Under the same evening glow, she stared at the cotton flower he sent with a smile and tears under a splendid cloud. The red petals also seemed like blood flowing from her.

The nurse cleaned up Tang Tang, but she groaned hungrily because there was no milk to drink. He Songbai couldn't help her.

He knelt down on his knees to get closer to his wife and encouraged her constantly. He even had no time to look at his daughter. He scrambled out all his money and asked the nurse to ask around for some milk. The nurse sighed pitifully, shook her head, and hugged the crying baby. She turned around to find her rations.

He Songbai clenched his wife's hand and shed tears. A big man couldn't help but cry in the delivery room.

"Lanxiang, try harder."

"Try some chocolate, okay?"

...

Zhao Lanxiang seemed to see her old man sitting in a wheelchair in his twilight years. She lowered her head down on his knee, he lowered his head and dropped a kiss in her hair adoringly.

He encouraged her with a smile, "Lanxiang, fight."

He was the man who waited for her every day on the street corner while holding the freshest flowers. The man who prepared the most suitable clothes for her every morning. The man who took her hand for a walk in the evening and watched the sunset. He is no longer young, but his style is not diminished.

Under the oak tree, the old man in a wheelchair helped her up. He said seriously, "No matter where you go, wherever I am, I hope you will be brave and strong."

"I... love you the most," he whispered.

Zhao Lanxiang looked up blankly.

"Go, come back to him."

Zhao Lanxiang opened her eyes, and He Songbai's hot tears splashed on her hands.

Gently, as if it was warm rain.

Her thumb shook suddenly, "Da... Dahai..."

"Wake up, don't talk. Concentrate on your strength."

She exhausted all the strength in her body, with a pain in her lower abdomen, a mass of hot and humid things fell out of her body.

The doctor caught the child and smacked his bottom. He was silent for a long time. Zhao Lanxiang almost cried, but the child whimpered faintly, and then his throat screamed loudly.
