It was already past one in the afternoon when Jiang Duoduo arrived at the City Central Hospital.

Outside the obstetrics and gynecology operating room, many family members gathered together, chatting and laughing, waiting for the arrival of the newborn.

Some people would run to the door of the operating room from time to time and look inside by sticking to the glass. Although there was only an aisle inside and nothing could be seen, there were always people who would lie down there and look inside to see what was going on.

For example, Ms. Chen Shuyue would stand up from her chair from time to time and walk to the door of the operating room to look inside.

Aunt Liao was much calmer. She told Chen Shuyue that Jiang Niandi had just been in there not long ago, so it wouldn't happen that quickly!

In fact, Chen Shuyue also knew that it would not happen that soon, but she felt sad when she thought about the fourth child having to give birth to a child alone.

The first three daughters gave birth in the town hospital. At that time, no matter whether it was the eldest, second or third daughter, there were many people from her parents' or husband's families present. The more people there were, the more people there were to discuss things, and the time passed quickly in all the hustle and bustle.

When Jiang Duoduo took the elevator up, she saw Aunt Liao sitting on a chair on the side looking at her mobile phone, but she did not see her mother Chen Shuyue.

"Aunt Liao, where is my mother?"

Aunt Liao looked up and saw that it was Jiang Duoduo. She smiled and pointed at her, "Your mother is standing at the door of the operating room! I told her it was still early, but she just couldn't sit still. She'll run over to check on her soon."

"Oh, then I'll go find her."

Jiang Duoduo didn't know how long it would take to give birth. She was in school when her sisters gave birth, and she had never been in the hospital to accompany them during childbirth.

"Mom, Aunt Liao said it's still early! Don't stand at the door anymore, come sit over there with me for a while. Look at the other family members, they're so relaxed, they're all eating sunflower seeds."

Jiang Duoduo walked to the door of the operating room and pulled her mother Chen Shuyue towards the chair where Aunt Liao was sitting.

"Duoduo, you're here! Mom is worried about your fourth sister. Look at other families, the child's father, grandparents, and all the aunts and uncles are here. Look at our family, not counting Aunt Liao, there were only the two of us accompanying her to give birth. It was so lonely."

"It's all thanks to Aunt Liao that she called me. Otherwise, even we wouldn't be in the hospital with her. The fourth child would be so lonely."

"I've been busy at the breakfast shop these days, and I only have time to call her at night. The child said everything is fine and doesn't want me to worry about her."

"Who knew she was so careless? She didn't even call me when she gave birth. She just came to the hospital with Aunt Liao, carrying all her things! The more the fourth child acted strong, the more I felt sorry for her."

Chen Shuyue held Jiang Duoduo's hand, and she couldn't help feeling sad when she talked about these things.

"Mom, don't you know Fourth Sister's temper? She doesn't like crowds, and she doesn't like to bother others. It's just the two of us coming!"

"I bet if you call your aunt, your eldest sister, your second sister, and your third sister all over to accompany you during the birthing today, your fourth sister will be unhappy!"

Jiang Duoduo patted her mother's hand and told her not to compare herself with other families, because every family has its own problems.

The two of them were talking, and soon they came to Aunt Liao's side.

"Mom, Aunt Liao, have you had lunch?"

After her mother sat down, Jiang Duoduo asked.

"I'm not hungry yet, Duoduo, take Sister Liao to the restaurant outside to eat something."

Chen Shuyue thought that Aunt Liao hadn't eaten lunch yet! It was okay if she wasn't hungry, but she couldn't let others go hungry too.

"I ate a bowl of noodles before I went out, so I'm fine now!"

Aunt Liao touched her belly and told the truth.

"Then let my mom watch here. Aunt Liao, let's go get something to eat. My stomach is growling with hunger. Just bring something back for my mom when the time comes."

Jiang Duoduo also held her belly and said to Aunt Liao.

"Okay, Duoduo's mom, just stay here and watch. It's usually nothing serious. If a nurse calls for Jiang Niandi's family, go over and take a look."

Aunt Liao handed a handbag she was carrying to Chen Shuyue, saying that it contained some things prepared for the mother and the newborn.

"Okay, go ahead!"

Chen Shuyue took Aunt Liao's handbag and moved to a seat closer to the operating room door to continue sitting.

……

Jiang Duoduo took Aunt Liao to the Golden Chopsticks restaurant diagonally opposite the Central Hospital.

Golden Chopsticks is a national chain restaurant brand that is very popular among the locals of J City for its fresh and delicious dishes and all-you-can-eat rice.

After asking Aunt Liao about her dietary restrictions, Jiang Duoduo took a tray to the ordering area to place her order.

It was past the peak dining time, there were few customers in the restaurant, and many dishes were sold out.

Jiang Duoduo ordered a plate of minced meat and egg custard, a plate of braised carp, a plate of crispy spare ribs, and a plate of squid rolls with fried celery.

The crispy spareribs at Golden Chopsticks are very famous. Many people come here to eat, and this dish is a must-order, so the restaurant will prepare more.

Jiang Duoduo also likes to eat the crispy spareribs here. They are crispy and have a delicious taste.

After paying the bill, Jiang Duoduo took the four dishes on a tray to a seat by the window. Aunt Liao had already gone to the food area and got two bowls of fragrant rice.

"Duoduo, there's free seaweed and egg soup over there! I'll go get a bowl for you!"

Aunt Liao put down two bowls of rice and hurried to the food area.

"Aunt Liao, slow down!"

Jiang Duoduo saw her running so fast that she was afraid that she would bump into the table. People of their age have no resistance to free things.

Jiang Duoduo felt that if her mother Chen Shuyue were here, she would also run to get the free seaweed and egg soup.

The two of them spent about half an hour eating in the restaurant. Jiang Duoduo then packed a portion of rice and two dishes to take back for her mother Chen Shuyue.

Just when Jiang Duoduo and Aunt Liao returned to the outside of the obstetrics and gynecology operating room chatting and laughing, there seemed to be more people here.

Chen Shuyue said that this row of people were accompanying the pregnant women to give birth.

Jiang Duoduo looked along the crowd. Wow, there were fifteen or sixteen people in this row. Her husband was holding a bouquet of flowers and had a smile in his eyes when he spoke.

There are also two people wearing bright red coats, who are about the same age as Chen Shuyue. They seem to be the mother-in-law and mother of the woman who has just given birth.

Each of them was carrying a shiny handbag, and they could even laugh out loud when they were happy.

It was also the first time that Jiang Duoduo saw so many people coming to accompany a childbirth. It seemed that she was indeed too low-key.

"Mom, I packed some food for you. Let's go eat in the corridor over there. There are too many people here."

Aunt Liao took the handbag and said that she would look after it here, so Chen Shuyue could go over there to eat without worry.

"Duoduo, do you think I should ask your eldest sister to close the store and come over now? Look, there are so many people here. If we are too few, won't people laugh at us?"

Chen Shuyue pulled Jiang Duoduo to a less crowded corridor and said in a troubled tone.
