1979: The child's mother is a celestial being.

Chapter 32 Giving birth
Half an hour had passed since Liu Xiaoli was wheeled into the delivery room.

Chen Fusheng paced anxiously outside the delivery room for half an hour.

He used to think that everything shown on TV was fake.

Now that I've experienced it firsthand, I realize that every second is filled with anxiety and I can't calm down at all.

Perhaps this is also related to the fact that he has lived two lives, but this is his first time becoming a father.

"Fusheng, come and sit for a while, stop wandering around."

Chen Fusheng glanced back at his concerned family members and was about to sit down for a drink of water when he suddenly felt the delivery room go quiet for about ten seconds, followed by a clear and loud baby cry.

Before he could even unscrew the cap, his hand slipped, and the kettle fell to the ground with a thud. But no one paid any attention, and it rolled silently to a corner before finally stopping.

"It's born. It's finally born."

The whole family gathered at the entrance of the delivery room, wishing they could just rush in.

Soon, a doctor in a white coat came out carrying a newborn baby to announce the good news.

Congratulations, mother and daughter are safe and sound!

"Good, good, good. It's good that you're safe and sound."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Then the doctor asked:

Who is the father?

"I...I...I am."

Chen Fusheng raised his hand. His eyes had been fixed on the little life in the doctor's arms from the beginning. This was the first time the father and daughter had met, but at this moment, he didn't know if it was because he was too excited, but he felt a buzzing and his mind went blank.

"Come here, let Daddy hug your daughter first."

Fortunately, this phenomenon came and went quickly.

In just a moment, the doctor's voice and the voices of the family members around me reappeared in my ears, and the world before my eyes regained its light.

He reached out and took his daughter from the doctor's arms. Although the little one was still wrinkled and not very pretty because she had just been born, in the old father's eyes, this little life was the most adorable child in the world.

"Baby, I'm your dad." After saying that, he gently kissed his daughter's forehead.

Next, the eldest princess of the Chen family walked around in the arms of her grandparents, maternal grandmother, aunt, uncle, and aunt-in-law before returning to her father's arms.

Currently, only fathers are allowed to enter the delivery room to visit mothers who have just given birth.

"Honey, thank you for your hard work."

After Chen Fusheng carried his daughter into the delivery room, he couldn't help but feel sorry for his wife, who was lying on the bed looking pale and haggard.

Liu Xiaoli was usually quite strong, but Chen Fusheng's words of comfort made her want to cry.

Chen Fusheng noticed her 'grievance' and quickly handed the baby over.

“Look at our daughter, her nose and mouth look just like yours, she’ll definitely be a great beauty in the future.”

Liu Xiaoli's attention was indeed diverted, but when she looked at the daughter her husband handed to her, she didn't feel that she looked much like herself; in fact, she thought she was a bit 'ugly.' Of course, as a mother, she didn't mind and still kissed the little life.

"Brother Sheng, so our daughter will be named Chen Qian, right?"

"Yes."

Liu Xiaoli then said to her daughter, "Baby, did you hear that? From now on, your name will be Chen Qian."

Feeling that calling her by her full name wasn't affectionate enough, Liu Xiaoli came up with a nickname for her daughter on the spot.

"Chen Qian, Chen Qian, Mom will call you Qianqian from now on, okay?"

“Qian can also be pronounced as Xi, so maybe our daughter’s nickname could be Qianqian. If it’s called ‘Qianqian,’ it always feels like something is missing.”

"Xixi, Xixi..." Liu Xiaoli switched between the two pronunciations, 'Qianqian' and 'Xixi', several times. Perhaps influenced by Chen Fusheng, she also felt that 'Xixi' sounded better. And so, the name of Chen Fusheng and Liu Xiaoli's first daughter was decided.

Her full name is Chen Qian, and her nickname is Qianqian.

After giving birth, Liu Xiaoli was moved back to her original single room and needed to rest in the hospital for four, five, six or seven days. If there were no problems, she would go home to start her postpartum confinement.

The pregnant woman in the next room had just given birth that morning, but her husband's family took her home at noon.

This isn't about criticizing anything, but rather stating a fact: most families in this era live frugally, and everyone tries to save every penny they can.

wow wow wow...

"The baby is crying because she's hungry. Xiaoli, you should feed her quickly. Fusheng, you can stay here. We'll bring you food later."

"it is good."

Chen Fusheng nodded to his mother-in-law who had spoken, and then handed his daughter, who had suddenly started crying incessantly, to his wife.

After her family left, Liu Xiaoli was about to breastfeed her child when she noticed Chen Fusheng standing by the bedside staring at her, which made her feel uneasy.

"Turn your head around."

"What's there to be shy about? It's not like we've never seen this before."

Seeing that her husband wouldn't listen and her daughter in her arms kept crying, Liu Xiaoli just glared at him and then ignored him, thinking, "Let her watch."

However, Liu Xiaoli soon discovered that her daughter couldn't get any milk out the first time she tried to nurse, which made both mother and daughter a little anxious.

"What's wrong?" Chen Fusheng asked quickly when he saw that his wife's expression was off.

"It seems like she can't get it out."

"Is your posture wrong? Or should you try feeding from the other side?"

Liu Xiaoli did as instructed, but it still didn't work.

"What should I do, honey?"

"Don't panic, I'll go get the doctor."

When the doctor arrived and listened to the couple's problems, he remained quite calm.

She explained, "Don't worry, the mammary ducts of first-time mothers are relatively narrow, and the milk is quite thick when it first starts to be secreted. The newborn baby's sucking strength is not strong enough, which can easily cause this phenomenon in you."

"How did you resolve the issue with the doctor?" Chen Fusheng asked.

"It's simple, the baby's father, you just need to help suck it out."

Seemingly sensing that Liu Xiaoli, the new mother, was a little shy, the doctor didn't linger in the ward after speaking, leaving behind the words, "Come find me if you need anything," before departing.

After the doctor left, the scene in the ward became a bit inappropriate for children.

The good news is that, with the help of her father, Chen Fusheng, his daughter was finally able to eat her first meal after coming into this world.

……

While Chen Fusheng was happily becoming a stay-at-home dad, more than 800 kilometers away at the Emei Film Studio, the film "Cow," which he wrote and starred in, was finally completed in post-production thanks to the tireless efforts of director Han Sanping.

He immediately invited the factory leaders to watch the movie, and in the process, he also presented his plan.

"What? You want to submit this film abroad to compete?"

When the factory leaders heard Han Sanping's idea, their first reaction was that he was crazy.

However, Han Sanping was not unprepared. He used his silver tongue to persuade the factory leaders, and the factory held a meeting to decide to allow him to give it a try.

So on this day, Han Sanping took the film and boarded a plane to Beijing.
