Chapter 340: Happy with a baby
My daughter-in-law was giving birth in the delivery room. Fang Minghua quickly found a phone number in the hospital and called his parents and father-in-law to tell them the situation. It didn’t take long for the elderly from the two families to take breakfast. Mattress and things for mother and baby were prepared, and her sister Fang Mingli also rushed to the hospital.
Song Tangtang entered the delivery room at around 10 o'clock in the evening and worked hard for half the night. It was not until two o'clock in the night that she saw two nurses coming out of the delivery room each holding a baby.
"Both adults and children are safe. The baby boy weighs 5 kilograms and six taels, and the baby girl weighs six kilograms."
As soon as the nurse said this, the anxious relatives waiting outside felt relieved. .
The mother and mother-in-law were holding two children each, looking at the baby and making comments. The three men, including Fang Minghua, could only watch.
"Look, this child's forehead looks like Minghua. As the saying goes, he has a big head and a wide forehead, and he will be an official when he grows up!" My mother said to her biological mother as if to show off.
The mother-in-law did not show any weakness: "The nose looks like our Tangtang!"
Fang Minghua was speechless for a while, do you want to fight for this thing?
Fang Mingli next to her also moved forward curiously, looking at the swaddled baby with a wrinkled face like a little old man, and couldn't help but curl her lips.
"My sister-in-law is so good-looking, why is her child so ugly?"
"Melon girl!" Zhang Fenglan, the mother holding the baby, couldn't help but laugh and curse: "Children are like this right after they are born. , you were born uglier than this!”
Fang Minghua is a man who has seen the world. After seeing his son and daughter, he quickly entered the delivery room to take care of his wife.
Song Tangtang looked very weak lying on the bed because she had given birth to two children. Fang Minghua quickly sat by the bed and held her hand.
“Where is the baby?” Song Tangtang asked weakly.
"My parents are holding the baby. The nurse said to give the baby a bath right away and bring it back when it's done. You can sleep peacefully for a while."
"No, I want to see the baby."
Fang The editor-in-chief’s wife has given birth!
Having two children at once is still a twin!
Colleagues from the work unit, relatives and friends immediately came to visit the hospital carrying milk powder, malted milk and other nutritional supplements, as well as tiger-head shoes and tiger-head hats.
There was an endless stream of visitors to the ward.
Zhao Hongjun drove to the hospital the next morning carrying large and small bags of nutritional supplements. When he saw that it was a boy and a girl, he was so envious.
"Minghua, Tangtang, we are going to fight the in-laws. From now on, I will be the godfather of these two children! As for my daughter, she will consider you two as her godfather and godmother!"
Zhao Hongjun got married on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, but his wife was almost four months pregnant. She went to the hospital for a checkup and found out that she was a girl.
Old Qin people like to beat their relatives, so it is not surprising that Zhao Hongjun made this request.
Fang Minghua and Song Tangtang, who was lying on the bed, exchanged glances and then nodded in agreement.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Hongjun made an even more exaggerated request:
“My daughter will also arrange a baby marriage with your son, turning the in-laws’ family into a real in-laws!”
This request is a bit excessive
Fang Minghua hurriedly said that this is not popular now. Children can have free love when they grow up, and we parents cannot interfere in marriage.
But Zhao Hongjun was also very arrogant: "No, I have identified this son-in-law now." After saying that, he took the sleeping boy into his arms and said with a proud face: "Isn't it, son-in-law?"
As a result, the boy poured urine on him
After staying in the hospital for a week, Song Tangtang was finally discharged from the hospital.
At noon that day, Fang Minghua drove his wife and two babies home in a small car, as well as supplies for hospitalization. There were too many things to carry in one trip, so Zhao Hongjun drove his Crown to help. .
Fang Minghua, his wife and children did not return to their happy community outside the south gate, but temporarily moved to their parents' house. Song Tangtang had to undergo confinement, and the children also needed someone to take care of them, not to mention that it was close to Song Tangtang's natal home.
Fang Minghua’s mother, Zhang Fenglan, is so happy. Ever since my son moved out after getting married, and my youngest daughter was still a graduate student at NPU and never came back, the house had always been deserted, but now it suddenly became lively.
Hearing the cry of the baby is also a kind of enjoyment.
Song Tangtang sat up for confinement at home, but Fang Minghua had to come to work after staying at home for three days.
The Spring Festival of 1987 came early. January 28th was New Year’s Eve. Fang Minghua was extremely busy this month.
At work, I have to recommend articles to participate in the national selection of outstanding short stories and short stories in 1985-1986 (beginning in 1985, the selection was changed to every two years). In the past, I was worried that there would be no good articles to recommend. There are too many excellent articles this year. Who should I recommend? ?
After repeated discussions among the four chief editors of the editorial department, six novels and short stories were finally recommended for inclusion in the review, including "Red Sorghum", "Little Baozhuang", Yu Hua's "1986" and Zou Zhian's "The Party Secretary Steps Down to Sing in a Big Opera".
One more thing, I want to write a letter to Ye Yongmei, the head of the novel program of China Central Radio Station in Yanjing, recommending the first and second parts of "The Ordinary World".
Now that the third volume is in my hands, it’s time to make this book popular.
Of course the more important thing is to take care of my wife and baby.
Although his parents take care of him and his mother-in-law comes to help every day, as her husband, Fang Minghua cannot be a hands-off shopkeeper. One of the most important tasks is washing diapers.
There are not many diapers these days. They just throw them away after use. They rely on diapers prepared in advance with old cotton cloth. The two children use them frequently, so whether in the hospital or at home, Fang Minghua has to wash a large diaper every day. Basin diapers.
This is the responsibility of a husband and a father, and it is unshirkable.
As for the third part of "The Ordinary World", I don't have time to write it for the time being, let alone "Swordsman in the Snow". Let's put it all down. My wife and baby are the most important!
Lu Yao, who was still hospitalized in Xijing Hospital, certainly didn't say anything when he heard the news. He couldn't move around. Linda bought some nutritional supplements and went to the hospital to visit Song Tangtang specifically.
She also told Fang Minghua to take good care of his daughter-in-law. At this time, not only babies, but adults also need care and attention.
Fang Minghua naturally nodded repeatedly.
Lu Yao is not in a hurry, but Luo Bin from Xiangjiang is!
The proofs of the last magazine issue before the Spring Festival have been handed over to the printing factory, and we are now working overtime to prepare the content for the second day of the new year (Friday).
There is a holiday during the Spring Festival, so this issue of the magazine must be well organized.
However, there are no manuscripts for "Swordsman in the Snow".
As usual, at this time of the month, Fang Minghua had already sent back next month’s 100,000-word manuscript, but now there has been no movement.
Luo Bin couldn't bear it any longer. As soon as he got to work that morning, he called Fang Minghua's office.
Fang Minghua had just made a cup of tea and before he had a chance to drink it, the phone rang. He picked up the phone and said, "Who is it?"
"Editor Fang, happy New Year, and may I wish you good fortune."
Oh.
But now the word is becoming popular in the Mainland.
“We are all happy, and I wish Boss Luo a prosperous new year.” Fang Minghua said with a smile.
"My fortune depends entirely on the books you wrote, Mr. Fang." Luo Bin immediately climbed up the pole: "But you haven't sent the manuscript yet, which makes me anxious to death."
"Sorry, my wife has given birth to a baby, and I have been taking care of her recently." Fang Minghua said.
