Chapter 313 Wheat Starts
From that day on, He Lingting really started working from home. He could only feel at ease if he was with the girl at all times.
When He Lingting was busy, Xiaomai would accompany him in the study. While He Lingting was working, Xiaomai would draw manuscripts beside him. He Lingting would occasionally look up to observe the little girl's situation, feeling a bit like looking after a child.
When he was free, He Lingting would follow the doctor's advice and accompany the little girl for a walk in the back garden, but as soon as Xiaomai said she was tired, he would immediately carry her back to the room to rest.
Seeing how their son-in-law was taking care of their daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Lu felt very happy. They didn't expect that Xiao Ting, who had a cold personality, could be so caring. They were happy for their daughter.
Xiaomai was cared for by everyone for about half a month. With the uncle's company, she was no longer afraid, but rather looked forward to the arrival of two little lives.
He Lingting would do everything himself regarding the little girl, without asking anyone else for help. When Mr. and Mrs. Lu had nothing to do, they packed everything their daughter needed for giving birth to avoid panic at the last minute.
The two grandmothers in the old house call every day to greet them. They also want to come and keep them company, but they know they are old and afraid of being a burden to their children, so they have no choice but to inquire over the phone.
On this day, He Lingting was holding a video conference in the study, and Xiaomai was leaning on the sofa playing with her mobile phone. Suddenly, she felt a pain in her stomach. At first, Xiaomai didn't pay much attention to it, but after a while, the pain came again, and it became more severe.
Xiaomai immediately shouted, "Uncle, ah!" Another wave of pain came, and Xiaomai couldn't help but shout out.
He Lingting was so scared that he immediately dropped the meeting, ran over, hugged Xiaomai and asked nervously: "What's wrong? Where does it hurt? Tell your husband quickly."
"Don't be nervous, it's started." Xiaomai looked at He Lingting's cold and worried face, pointed at her belly and said.
"Ah! What should I do then?" He Lingting, who was an expert in business, was completely panicked at this moment and didn't know what to do.
"Call mom and dad and go to the hospital." Xiaomai reminded while enduring the pain.
"Yes, Mom, come quickly! Xiaomai is about to give birth." He opened the door and shouted like a fool, then quickly ran downstairs carrying Xiaomai.
When Mr. and Mrs. Lu heard the sound, they hurried out, took the things they had prepared in advance and put them in the car, then opened the door and wanted He Lingting to put Xiaomai in, but the boy put his wife in and followed him in.
Mother Lu could only sit in the passenger seat, and Father Lu came to drive. When they got in the car, Mother Lu reminded, "Xiao Ting, call the hospital quickly and get ready for the pick-up."
After hearing this, He Lingting quickly called Bai Chen. At this time, Bai Chen had just finished the operation and was learning from Youyou. When the phone rang, he saw that it was He Lingting and quickly picked up the phone, "Ting."
"Chen, Xiaomai is about to give birth, please make some arrangements." He Lingting's cold and trembling voice came, revealing his nervousness at the moment.
"Ah! Where are they now?"
"We're rushing to the hospital. She's in a lot of pain. What can I do to make her feel less pain?" He Lingting asked.
"I don't know about that either!" Bai Chen touched his head helplessly. The labor pain of a woman in labor cannot be relieved by medicine.
"Waste. Where's Ji Youyou?" He Lingting said to Bai Chen unceremoniously, and suddenly remembered the young Chinese medicine practitioner.
"Youyou! I'm here. Youyou, Xiaomai is about to give birth, and Ting asked you how you can relieve the pain." Bai Chen said as he handed the phone to Ji Youyou.
Youyou took the phone and gave some instructions on how to relieve the pain, then threw the phone to Bai Chen and said, "Let's go! Get ready to welcome Xiaomai."
Afterwards, Youyou got up and hurried out, and Bai Chen also ran out. The two came to the main entrance of the hospital, kept looking outside, and waited anxiously.
After Youyou's instructions, He Lingting's method really worked, and Xiaomai's pain was indeed relieved a lot. He Lingting hugged Xiaomai and kept asking, "Girl, are you feeling better?"
"It's much better, don't worry." Although Xiaomai was in pain, it was all within the tolerable range. But the uncle was sweating, his face was pale and he looked nervous.
Xiaomai knew that He Lingting felt sorry for her, so she raised her hand to wipe the sweat off the uncle's face, and said with a smile while trying to endure the pain: "Uncle, don't be afraid, the baby and I will be safe, I'm fine."
"Yes, you must be safe!" He Lingting stroked the little girl's forehead, kissed her, and said firmly.
Mother Lu was listening to the sweet and cuddly words from behind, which sounded like a life-and-death separation. She couldn't bear it any longer and said, "Xiao Ting, all women have to go through this when giving birth. Xiaomai is just in labor pain, and it will go away after the baby comes out. Don't worry, Xiaomai! You don't have to be too nervous either. Relax a little, it will be over in a while."
"Well, mom, don't worry, I understand. I'm prepared."
The conversation between Lu's mother and Xiaomai distracted Xiaomai's attention. He Lingting continued to give Xiaomai a soothing massage, so Xiaomai was no longer in as much pain as at the beginning, and He Lingting's expression also eased a lot.
Father Lu drove fast all the way and soon arrived at the hospital. He Lingting got out of the car, picked up Xiaomai and ran to the obstetrics and gynecology department. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Bai Chen, Ji Youyou and Director Li.
"Has the oxygen water broken?" asked Director Li.
"It's broken." Xiaomai replied.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" He Lingting asked with a stiff face.
"I was afraid you'd worry." Xiaomai's contractions came again, and her little face twisted again.
"Ting, put him on the bed and go to the delivery room!" Bai Chen reminded He Ting.
"No need. Where is the delivery room? I'll carry her there." He Lingting said coldly.
"It's just left in front. Come on, carry the baby in. The family members can wait outside!" After Director Li said this, he and He Lingting walked into the delivery room.
As they walked, Director Li instructed the nurses to prepare all the equipment, deliver them to the first delivery room, and find two assistants to help.
"I can go in and help." Ji Youyou quickly caught up and said.
Director Li glanced at her and asked, "Are you a nurse? Do you have experience?"
"Yes, I have plenty of experience, and I promised Xiaomai that I would help her." Youyou said seriously.
"Yes! Director Li, her name is Youyou. She is my assistant. She is very good at Chinese medicine and she will be able to help." Bai Chen said from the side.
"Okay, come on!" Director Li thought that to be able to become Bai Chen's assistant, one must have some skills.
"Thank you!" Youyou thanked him and then went into the delivery room with Director Li.
"Mr. He, you can go out now." Director Li said to He Lingting.
"No, I'll accompany her." His deep eyes revealed determination.
"Let him stay with you! It will also let him know how hard his wife works, and he will cherish Xiaomai more in the future." Youyou said.
"Okay then! But don't talk nonsense, or you'll have to leave immediately." Director Li said professionally. The hospital does not allow family members to enter the delivery room, fearing that it will affect the delivery process. Mr. He really can't afford to offend him, but he has to say the ugly words first.
"I know." He Lingting responded coldly, sitting in front of Xiaomai, holding the little girl's hand tightly, his eyes full of heartache.
