Era: Start as a buyer

"Chief Luo, the information on the person you are looking for is here. I guarantee there will be no problem."

"Okay, thank you for this time."

"You're welcome, it's easy."

"Okay, let's do this for now, I have something to deal with."

"Well, Chief Luo, you are busy with your business."

Luo Cheng nodded and put the envelope into his pocket. People these days like to use envelopes to write something or issue bills or money.

The envelope contained information that Luo Cheng asked Wang De to send someone to investigate the woman who did that. This frame-up matter cannot be sent just by anyone. If something unexpected happens, it would be bad to call them out immediately.

Of course, Luo Cheng himself would not come forward to contact him. He would arrange for Ergouzi to come and contact him. Ergouzi will not disclose his own information, anyway, he just throws some money.

After putting the things away, Luo Cheng went back to find Luo Yan, who was now in a state of excitement. Even a casual job these days is life-changing for many people.

When Luo Yan followed Luo Cheng out of the factory gate, she was almost like a child, trotting on one leg. It's the kind of running where one leg goes forward and the other leg just follows, instead of crossing the legs. But after Luo Cheng looked at her for a moment, Luo Yan became shy and normal again.

A sixteen-year-old girl actually still has the nature of a child, but the hard life forces people in this era to mature earlier. A lot of nature has to be hidden, or disguised.

When these people have support and don't have to worry about many things, their true nature will naturally be revealed.

After leaving the factory gate, Luo Yan jumped into the back seat. On the way back, she obviously talked too much. I have been in the city for several months, but everything I see seems to feel different.

For example, you can see foxtail grass on both sides of the street. If it were before, there would be no disturbance in my heart, and it would be everywhere in the countryside. But today, when Luo Yan saw it again, it was like discovering this grass in the city for the first time, saying that there were so many such grasses in the city.

Haha~, Luo Cheng remembered, it seems that Yanzi was actually a very cheerful little girl when she was a child. I don’t know when it started. I can’t cry and laugh whenever I want. I have to do housework and I can’t be like a boy who can go crazy outside.

Later, we only chatted about trivial matters in life, and many housework naturally fell on Luo Yan. In the years before Luo Cheng's family separated, Yanzi washed his clothes for him. This is a matter of course for everyone.

~~

In the blink of an eye, five days later.

"Brother, sister-in-law, I went to work and the porridge has been prepared."

"Yanzi, you go first, your brother doesn't know how to get up."

"I know, sister-in-law."

Zhao Qian smiled, this person was in the class, and his energy and spirit were different. At least Luo Yan, who lives in this urban area and has a rural registered permanent residence, feels confident when talking to others.

Of course Luo Cheng also heard Yanzi's voice outside the house, but he was confused and unwilling to respond. Luo Yan will arrive at the factory at seven o'clock, and then turn on the water for each office. If she leaves now, she will walk there and leave at half past six.

If Luo Cheng didn't get up, Zhao Qian was unwilling to lie down anymore. She would take a nap during the day and afternoon, and go to bed early at night. When I wake up in the morning, I feel sleepy.

Although Zhao Qian has a big belly, she doesn't feel that it has much impact on her daily life. You don’t need support when walking, and you can go for a casual walk outside when you have nothing to do. According to the parlance of this era, this pregnancy is really not a big deal. There are many rural people working in the fields with a big belly.

"Luo Cheng~~, Luo Cheng, get up quickly and help me."

"Qian, I'll go, damn it."

Zhao Qian originally sat up first and sat near the end of the bed before getting ready to climb over Luo Cheng's legs and get out of bed. But halfway through the climb, Zhao Qian felt something was wrong. She seemed to have peed. However, even if Zhao Qian had not experienced anything, she would not be so stupid as to think that she would really urinate uncontrollably.

She was about to give birth suddenly. Zhao Qian was so panicked that her voice vibrated when she called Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng also felt something was wrong when he heard the sound. When he opened his eyes, he was also frightened. He quickly got up and helped Zhao Qian lie down flat. He held the clothes in his hands and ran out while putting them on.

"Hong Xiu, Hong Xiu. Hurry up, your sister-in-law may be giving birth. You go into the house and watch quickly. I'll go borrow the trolley right now and I'll be back right away."

"What, my sister-in-law is about to give birth. Second brother, please go quickly. I will take good care of my sister-in-law."

When Luo Cheng came out, Hong Xiu was squatting under the corridor washing clothes. When Luo Cheng shouted, the half-rubbed clothes were thrown back into the big wooden basin.

Zhang Hongxiu had never taken care of a pregnant woman who was about to give birth, but it didn't matter whether he had any experience at this time. He should go inside first and look at his sister-in-law's condition first. At least Luo Cheng had his own arrangements. He went to borrow a trolley, which would definitely take him to the hospital.

Luo Cheng called Hongxiu in the yard, and at this point, Luo Yan had to go to work early. As for the other people in the yard, in fact at this point it was just when they got up, most of them were in the yard.

"Old Feng, I seem to hear Luo Cheng calling his wife in the yard if she is going to give birth. I have to go and have a look. If she is going to give birth, I can still help."

"That's right, it was the one named Hongxiu that Luo Cheng called him to take in in the yard. Hurry over there. By the way, Aunt Ma in the backyard will deliver the baby. You hurry up and call Aunt Ma in the backyard."

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Almost instantly, everyone in the front yard heard Luo Cheng shouting anxiously to Hongxiu and hurried out. I also saw Luo Cheng holding on to the bicycle parked at the door and about to rush out.

Although there are people in the yard who know how to deliver babies, just to be on the safe side, if the birth cannot be natural, going to the hospital is the best option. So Luo Cheng wanted to find a trolley to take Zhao Qian to the hospital. Everyone asked him to go quickly when they left, and everyone here would also help.

Many people soon arrived in front of Luo Cheng's house, and Hongxiu was also called to the kitchen to boil hot water. It's just that the amniotic water has broken now, and the baby won't be born immediately. There is still some waiting time. Of course, if the amniotic water breaks, it will be troublesome if the baby cannot be born for a long time.

So everyone still hopes that Zhao Qian will respond sooner and give birth to her baby with peace of mind. Giving birth to a baby these days is really a very high-risk thing. When it's difficult to give birth, I'll ask you every time to take care of the baby. Just ask if you're afraid. Of course, the high rate of dystocia has a lot to do with the malnutrition and weak constitution of women in this era. Another point is that if a woman gets married early and becomes pregnant before her pelvis has fully grown, the probability of dystocia is very high.

This is just like Chen Leizi's daughter-in-law, who has no problem getting pregnant. But dystocia is very easy to occur. If dystocia occurs in rural areas, the problem will be huge.

When Luo Cheng returned to town last time, he chatted with Chen Lezi again and asked him to pay attention. Doing less of those things is not only a problem for having children, but also affects the development of women if they are too young.

But Chen Laizi just smiled awkwardly at Luo Cheng, unable to control himself. He couldn't control it at all. I have experienced what it is like to be a woman, and I have tasted the joy, unless I don't sleep in the same bed. Coupled with Chen Lezi's health, before he had a wife, he longed for a woman more than normal people.

Therefore, facing Luo Cheng's persuasion, Chen Laizi couldn't promise anything except laughing. People these days are so simple and honest. They don't promise anything to Luo Cheng if they feel that they may not be able to do it.

In just over twenty minutes, Luo Cheng borrowed the cart. And Zhao Qian had just begun to feel like she was about to give birth. Her amniotic water had just broken before, and she was actually feeling flustered, but she didn't feel like she was about to give birth in pain.

The cart was pushed into the yard and the quilt was immediately placed under it. Then Luo Cheng and several female neighbors directly carried Zhao Qian onto the cart. Aunt Ma, who knew how to deliver babies, also followed. Luo Cheng's family had many hot water bottles, so they all filled them with hot water and took the basins with them to the hospital.

If something goes wrong on the road, you may have to stop and prepare to deliver the baby immediately. For example, if the baby's head pops out while walking on the road, don't send it to the hospital. Prepare to deliver the baby directly. You can also send the baby to the hospital for recuperation after the baby is born. Luo Cheng had money anyway, and he was not short of a few dollars for hospitalization.

If someone else had delivered the baby at home, they would not have gone to the hospital after giving birth and would have just stayed at home for a few days.

Nothing happened on the way. That is to say, the labor pain was more intense, and Zhao Qian's forehead was already covered with sweat. When I came to the hospital, the people at the hospital saw that I was going to give birth to a baby. There is no need to go through any procedures, nurses and doctors will come directly to deal with it first and then talk about it. As for registration and medical expenses, they can be paid later.

Human life is at stake, and hospitals these days are not profit-making. Although it costs money to see a doctor, the hospital will still make a profit. But the current positioning of the hospital is service-oriented, focusing on serving everyone. Many things can be accommodated.

"Men are not allowed in, get out quickly."

"That's my wife, I want to go in and watch."

"What's wrong with my daughter-in-law? She can't see her. This is a hospital, and the impact is not good."

"This~."

Luo Cheng was pushed out of the delivery room by the nurse, which made him a little puzzled. In the future era, this is like a wife giving birth to a child, and the husband can stay by his side.

There is also a joke about giving birth to a child, such as, "Brother, look at how awesome my wife is. She gave birth to a child weighing seven pounds and sixty ounces." ’

And in this sentence, a normal person would praise the other person's wife for being really awesome. An experienced driver will respond with one word, which is ‘look’.

Luo Cheng was pushed out of the delivery room, and many people followed him in the yard. Luo Cheng thanked them one by one. They had already arrived at the hospital, so there was no need for them to be busy. Let them go back first. If the baby was successfully delivered, Luo Cheng would definitely use actions to thank them again.

I have told everyone before that if his wife gives birth successfully, she will definitely set up a few tables in the yard. This is a very exciting time. Seeing everyone's active help, I said before that the banquet was for celebration, but this time it has an extra layer of meaning. Thank you for your help.

After calling everyone back, Luo Cheng and Zhang Hongxiu were waiting at the door of the delivery room. Luo Cheng was really flustered. The past minute felt as long as sixty seconds. The longer you stay in the delivery room, the more likely it is that problems will arise. Luo Cheng is really afraid that the question of taking care of the baby and the baby will be asked to him.

It wasn't until almost 8:30 that the doctor and nurse came out, said congratulations, and said that mother and child were safe. Luo Cheng's heart finally fell to the ground, and he heard that mother and son were safe, which meant that Zhao Qian gave birth to a baby. The excited Luo Chengdu lost his sense of control. While shouting "I'm a father", he actually hugged Zhang Hongxiu next to him.

Fortunately, the hug was short, otherwise the nurse would have cursed. It's your wife who's giving birth inside, so it's nothing for you to hug another woman at the door of the delivery room. However, the nurse also understood the excitement of some people who had just become fathers, and felt that Luo Cheng and Zhang Hongxiu might be relatives, so it was okay to hug them out of proportion.

The nurse asked Luo Cheng to go to the lobby to pay the fee. Since it was a natural birth, the delivery fee was just over two yuan. Then it is best to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation. If you are hospitalized, the hospitalization fee will be 30 cents a day.

This is an urban hospital, so it costs 30 cents a day. Hospitals in county towns are cheaper. If you go to a hospital in a big city, it will cost you 30 cents to 50 cents a day.

Of course, in addition to hospitalization fees, you also have to pay five cents for health and miscellaneous fees for a day's stay here. That is to say, it actually costs 35 cents to stay in the hospital for one day.

It was enough for Luo Cheng to pay five yuan at the hospital's charging station. Even if he only stayed for a few days and went back, he would still have money to refund. After all, a caesarean section only charges a dozen yuan for the operation. The total cost for this natural delivery was less than three yuan.

"Hongxiu, go to the factory to find Yanzi and ask her to take a day off. At noon, let her go back to town and tell my parents and my father-in-law about the happy event. Of course, you have to go Catch a chicken and bring it back. I'll stew it immediately when I get back in the afternoon."

"Second brother, I know, I will go find Yanzi immediately."

After hearing Luo Cheng's instructions, Zhang Hongxiu did not stay in the hospital longer. He immediately walked out of the hospital and went to the machinery factory to tell Luo Yan about this. When Luo Yan asked for leave and gave her reasons, other people in the factory must have known about the birth of Luo Cheng's wife. Luo Cheng didn't go to the factory this morning, so there was basically no need to explain.

Under special circumstances, it is normal to make up for the leave afterwards.

After Zhang Hongxiu left, Luo Chengcheng and the nurse took Zhao Qian to the ward. There was no hospital trolley or anything like that in the future era. It had only been about half an hour since the birth, so I went directly to the floor and helped Zhao Qian to the ward. According to the nurse, this baby who had a natural birth can actually walk around alone by noon.

Special care is given during childbirth, heavy bleeding, etc. Zhao Qian is relatively smooth. If you are in a rural area, you will have a baby in the morning and start working in the afternoon.

After entering the ward, the nurse told her that the baby would be brought over later and that the newborn baby would be cleaned. Then he simply explained the precautions and left.

"Luo Cheng, I gave you a son."

"Well, a son. I will be the father and you will be the mother."

When it comes to his cub, even if he hasn't seen it yet, Luo Cheng can't help but get excited. And what Zhao Qian said actually meant two things. One was that the baby was born smoothly.

The other one gave birth to a son. The concept of carrying on the family line is very important these days. If the child is a daughter, there is a high probability that she will be looked down upon by her husband's family. Even the mother's family will feel that they are not living up to expectations. It is not okay to only have a daughter but no son.

And Zhao Qian's first child was a son, which was quite impressive in this era.

If a daughter is born, some families really want a son from the beginning. Then there is no need to think about the name. For example, if it is Luo Cheng, then his eldest daughter’s name must be Luo Zhaodi, his second daughter is Luo Pandi, his third daughter is Laidi, his fourth daughter is Yingdi, and then his daughter is Niandi, Yindi, and Qiudi. , Dai Di, Si Di~~~.

To be honest, Zhao Qian was from a rural area and followed Luo Cheng to the city. She had no job and only enjoyed happiness. If you can give birth to a son and still feel at ease, then if you give birth to a daughter. I'm really afraid of something happening that I don't dare to think about.
