50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 129 Giving birth
"I have been entrusted with a task and have done my duty faithfully. I believe it is worth the price you offered."

"That's as I should. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble this month."

"No need to be polite. This child has his own ideas. I just want to say one more thing. He is grown up now and wants to walk his own path. You don't have to control him too much."

Mr. Guo was actually not familiar with Sun Zhiwei, but he still said this, and it was obvious that he liked Sun Ailai very much.

Sun Zhiwei didn't mind, but said lazily: "Alas, he will be thousands of miles away soon. I can't control him even if I want to."

Then, the brother and sister said goodbye to the Guo family. Sun Ailai also kowtowed to Mr. Guo, and Sun Zhiwei did not stop him.

In ancient times, this would be considered a reward for imparting skills, and bowing to someone would be the proper thing to do.

If he is formally accepted as a disciple, the rules will be even stricter. Mr. Guo will raise the disciple as his son, and the disciple must also provide for him in his old age and till the end of his life.

But times have changed, and people's hearts have changed. Seeing this, some old-fashioned old people would rather see their skills lost than have them passed on to the wrong people.

Sun Zhiwei had inquired privately and found out that the Guo family was a traditional hunter family that had been hunting for generations.

Mr. Guo has some secrets that are not passed on to others. He doesn't know how many things Sun Ailai has learned. The time is so short, he can't ask for too much. He will find out when he goes back and asks his sister.

After leaving Chenjia Village, Sun Ailai sat on the back seat carrying the luggage, while Sun Zhiwei got on the bike and rode it at lightning speed, returning home in half an hour.

When she got home, Tong Jiajia saw that the chubby little girl she had raised had become dark and thin in just one month, and she was about to cry.

He walked up to Sun Ailai, took his hand and walked back, still muttering to himself that Sun Zhiwei was cruel and so on.

Sun Zhiwei didn't dare to retort. Tong Jiajia was so shaky with her large belly, and she had been emotionally unstable for the past few months. He was really afraid of upsetting her and causing a miscarriage.

Sun Ailai didn't think it was a big deal, but he didn't dare to move and let Tong Jiajia pull him into the house.

"Sister-in-law, when will our nephew be born?"

"It will be soon. It should be soon. I don't know if the little guy will be able to come out and meet your aunt in a hurry."

"Never mind that for now. I'll tell you everything I've prepared for you."

"I asked my colleagues, and the summer weather there is pretty much the same as here. But you'll definitely have to work there, and your clothes will wear out quickly, so you should prepare a few extra pieces."

"I've also prepared a stack of labor protection gloves for you, but it's definitely not enough. I don't know if the farm will provide labor protection supplies."

"It's very cold there in the winter, but winter is still early. My family will mail you your winter quilt, cotton-padded clothes and shoes in advance."

Hearing Tong Jiajia introducing clothes and other items, Sun Zhiwei also told Sun Ai about the books and medicines he had prepared.

When Sun Ailai heard that there were so many books, her face fell, but Sun Zhiwei didn't care and told her directly.

"I allowed you to go to the Northeast, but I didn't let you herd sheep. You should study these high school textbooks on your own first. If there are teachers on the farm, you can go and ask them if you don't understand something."

"You must pass the high school diploma exam within three years. If you can't do it, I'll come looking for you."

"I understand." Sun Aila could only agree.

"As for the Anthology, it's extracurricular reading material for you. Read it as much as you can. It will be beneficial."

There were also some of the most important things, and he was afraid that the girl would lose them, so he decided to give them to her before getting in the car.

With more than a week until departure, Sun Ailai had spent the last few days crisscrossing the city contacting classmates, organizing several get-togethers with her classmates and enthusiastically helping them pack. Some of her classmates came from modest families, others from underprivileged families, and many had packed very little, let alone adequate supplies.

Sun Ailai would sometimes ask Sun Zhiwei to help prepare some necessities, and Sun Zhiwei did not refuse. These classmates were on the same farm as Sun Ailai, and they would definitely be useful after being won over.

On the evening of the 28th, Tong Jiajia suddenly attacked.

Because he had made sufficient preparations in advance, Sun Zhiwei calmly packed the things into a big bag, asked Sun Ailai to carry it, and then ran into the hospital across the street with Tong Jiajia in his arms.

After arriving at the hospital, he went to handle the formalities and asked Sun Ailai to invite his godmother. The godmother had 5 children and was very experienced, so her care was indispensable at this time.

An hour later, the godmother came over with a lunch box. Sun Zhiwei was so anxious at this time that he didn't know what to do. When he saw the godmother coming, it was like seeing a savior.

"Godmother, you're here. Jiajia keeps crying out in pain."

"Giving birth is always painful. Go get some hot water. I brought some food for Jiajia to have another meal."

"Ah, the baby is about to be born, do you still want to eat now?"

"What do you mean by giving birth soon? It's still very early."

"This is Jia Jia's first baby. If it's fast, she'll be born in three or four hours. If it's slow, she might not be born until tomorrow morning. What's the point of you rushing now?"

Hearing that it would take so long, Sun Zhiwei forced himself to calm down and turned to get some hot water.

After the hot water came, the godmother slowly fed Tong Jiajia a meal of chicken rice and three eggs.

In fact, the godmother is more anxious than the other two now, because Jia Jia was well-nourished during pregnancy, so her belly is very big, and it is estimated that the baby will not be small.

This is what she worries about most, that it will be difficult to give birth to an older child, especially the first one.

But you can't say anything discouraging at this time. Now you are in the hospital, there are doctors and nurses. At worst, you can have a caesarean section, so there is generally no danger to your life.

Sun Zhiwei and Sun Ailai were unable to help and could only squat outside the ward.

Sun Ailai was even more excited about the birth of his nephew than Sun Zhiwei, and kept asking him questions.

There will be a knowledge explosion in the future, and short videos will contain everything. He has watched several videos of childbirth, and he still remembers a lot of knowledge about raising children from various channels.

So, he could answer a few questions about anything Sun Ailai asked, which surprised the girl: "Brother, you have a sufficient reserve of knowledge."

"Have you forgotten that I, your brother, have a photographic memory? What's the big deal? I know so much. It's always good to accumulate more knowledge. You never know when it will come in handy."

At three o'clock in the morning, Tong Jiajia entered the delivery room, and Sun Zhiwei stuffed a handful of chocolate and a small bag of ginseng slices into the nurse's hand.

He bought these ginseng slices from Tong Ren Tang. They were cheap, with a wild ginseng that was sixty or seventy years old costing only a little over a hundred yuan. He prepared them specially for today.

Time passed minute by minute, and the godmother outside the delivery room could still remain calm, while Sun Zhiwei was pacing back and forth and was already sweating.

When daybreak arrived, he seemed to faintly hear the baby crying. Soon the door to the delivery room opened, and a nurse called out, "Family of Tong Jiajia."

"I'm coming."

"Sister, 6 and a half pounds."
