Chapter 273 Upgrade
Outside the delivery room, anxious family members waited.
It was delivered by tractor, so it was naturally faster.
Even though Cheng He and his group borrowed the team's oxcart, they still managed to reach the health center while Cheng Xia was still in the delivery room.
"How is it? How is the situation?" As soon as Cheng He arrived, he hurriedly pulled Lu Mingdong aside and asked.
"Dad, Xiaxia just went in not long ago, and we haven't heard from her yet! The nurse just came out and asked for some food, so we brought it in." Even though Lu Mingdong himself was very anxious, he patiently explained to Cheng He.
After saying that, he helped Cheng He sit down in a chair.
"Why can't we go in and keep watch?" Ye Fang asked.
Lu Yuanqing explained, "There are quite a few people giving birth today. There are many women in labor inside, and some are already giving birth, so it's not appropriate for us to go in!"
Do you think they didn't think about it?
Lu Mingdong wanted to deliver more things and then go inside to check on the situation.
But the others wouldn't let them in.
All we can do is wait outside like this.
As they were saying this, the delivery room door opened, and a nurse came out and asked them, "Are Cheng Xia's family members here?"
Immediately, Lu Yuanqing and the others rushed forward.
"Yes, I am her husband. Is there something you need?" Lu Mingdong said, his voice trembling slightly.
This was the first time he had ever experienced something so terrifying.
As if suddenly remembering something, Lu Mingdong suddenly shouted, "Doctor, we must save the mother, we absolutely must save the mother."
Upon hearing this, Cheng He's legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
Lu Yuanqing quickly caught him, glaring at Lu Mingdong with annoyance, "What nonsense are you talking about? The doctor hasn't even spoken yet!"
Cheng Xia's mother died in childbirth, which was a severe blow to Cheng He.
They don't even know what's going on inside, yet a group of people are already panicking outside.
Ye Fang couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Having a baby is a perfectly normal thing! Don't rush it."
The nurse was speechless.
"Since you're Cheng Xia's husband, come over and sign this!"
"What signature? Doctor, I said, don't save the baby, I only want to save the mother!" Lu Mingdong frowned deeply.
"Yes, yes, we must save the baby first!" Cheng He quickly added from the side.
The nurse rolled her eyes at them, speechless, and said, "We can save both of you. The pregnant woman and the baby are both fine. We just asked you to come and sign some papers. We didn't ask you to choose whether to save the mother or the baby."
Lu Yuanqing: "..."
Now there was no need to hold back. Lu Yuanqing slapped Lu Mingdong on the back of the head and said irritably, "I told you to sign, not to imagine all this." He was really scared to death.
Realizing he had made an embarrassing mistake, Lu Mingdong silently followed along to sign the papers.
He's innocent too!
For him, he definitely wants to treat his wife well.
It's not that he doesn't like children, but compared to Cheng Xia, he naturally chooses Cheng Xia first!
Ye Fang was both amused and annoyed. "Second brother, don't be so nervous. She's already at the hospital. Xiaxia will be fine. It's just childbirth. We all gave birth at home and nothing happened."
"Xiao Dong is still young, and he gets nervous easily. You're so old, don't just blindly follow along!"
Lu Yuanqing felt that although Ye Fang's words were harsh, they also made sense.
When a pregnant woman is giving birth, she can't care about anything else.
It would be a joke if the people waiting outside not only couldn't help but also caused trouble.
Cheng He knew he wasn't calm, but how could he stay calm?
He had been on tenterhooks ever since Cheng Xia became pregnant.
He didn't tell anyone about his worries; he could only keep his fear to himself.
Even though his wife died in childbirth!
Over the years, he raised Cheng Xia on his own, fearing that she would be mistreated by a stepmother, so he was determined not to marry again.
Cheng Xia's health was poor from a young age due to a difficult childbirth. It could be said that Cheng Xia was carried around seeking medical treatment everywhere, which is how she survived to this age.
Now that he has a family and children, he is both happy and afraid.
She was afraid that Cheng Xia would end up like her mother.
He was very satisfied with the person who was happy to marry Cheng Xia.
Seeing what Lu Mingdong did, Cheng He felt even more satisfied.
"Why won't they let me see the baby at this hospital?!" Cheng He couldn't sit still any longer. He pressed himself against the delivery room door, listening to the sounds inside like a gecko.
Completely disregarding their image.
Lu Yuanqing: "..." This is a bit embarrassing!
Ye Fang: "..." This is not her second brother.
They don't know him; none of them know this person.
Cheng He completely disregarded the stares of others and kept listening to the faint sounds coming from inside, trying to discern his daughter's voice.
When Lu Yuanbo arrived, this was the scene he saw.
He brought many bags and packages, and even brought Zhang Panlan with him.
"Aunt!" Lu Yuanqing called out, but looked at Lu Yuanbo with a questioning gaze.
Zhang Panlan asked with a smile, "How is it? What's the situation inside? Oh, right, I also made some brown sugar eggs. Eating this will give you energy. Yuanbo, go ask the nurses if Qianyu and the others are hungry inside and need something to eat."
"You need to have strength to give birth quickly!"
Lu Yuanqing stopped Lu Yuanbo, who was about to ask the nurse, and said, "Xiao Dong just went outside and bought some food and brought it in. We don't need any more food for now. Auntie, please sit and wait!"
Zhang Panlan said, "It does take time; first pregnancies are always slow."
Ye Fang quickly added, "That's right. When I had my first child, it took two days. I went into labor today and didn't give birth until the afternoon of the second day. First pregnancies are always slow; you have to wait."
Zhang Panlan said, "That's right, my family..."
To be honest, listening to the two women recount their experiences, Lu Yuanqing felt less nervous and focused most of his attention on their conversation.
Zhang Panlan and Ye Fang are both right.
Cheng Xia and Xie Qianyu were taken to the delivery room early in the morning, but they didn't get to see their baby born until it was almost dark.
Zhang Panlan and Ye Fang each held a child, their smiles beaming from ear to ear.
Lu Yuanqing stood aside, wanting to give them a hug, but the two women forcibly refused, worried that he wouldn't be able to hold them properly.
Lu Yuanqing: "..."
They are completely innocent.
Although he had never held a newborn baby, he had held babies a day or two after birth, and he held them very well.
Why am I being disliked now?
The children are taken care of, and the pregnant woman is also taken care of.
Lu Yuanbo and Lu Mingdong had faces that said "I'd rather have a wife than a child." When the nurse brought the baby out, they only glanced at him before their minds were completely focused on the pregnant woman.
Even after returning to their ward, their thoughts were still on the pregnant woman sleeping in her bed.
Cheng He, who had originally wanted to check on his daughter, was speechless. He decided to go see his grandson instead.
That's right, Xie Qianyu gave birth to a baby girl, and Cheng Xia gave birth to a son.
Lu Yuanqing looked at it from this side and that side, and thought it was very beautiful.
Babies who receive ample nutrition while in their mother's womb are born very beautiful.
The baby is being looked after, and the new mother is being cared for.
Lu Yuanqing thought for a moment, realizing he was alone, and decided to go buy some nice things.
My sister-in-law and niece-in-law both had children and suffered a great loss, so they should eat more good food to make up for it.
This wasn't the first time Lu Yuanqing had bought things for a new mother.
He wouldn't hesitate to spend a penny on anything good that a pregnant woman could eat, such as brown sugar, pig's trotters, and milk powder.
However, tickets for things like milk powder are not easy to obtain.
Lu Yuanqing racked his brains over his social connections, calculating who could exchange tickets for them, and as he walked out of the health center, he pondered what he should buy.
Suddenly, that familiar mechanical voice rang in my mind again—
"Congratulations, host, you have completed the hidden mission of transforming Lu Mingdong."
"Congratulations, host, you have completed the hidden mission of transforming Lu Mingxi."
"The system will be upgraded immediately, and the rewards will be distributed after the upgrade."
"Host, I'm going to upgrade. There will definitely be good stuff after this upgrade, so wait!"
Lu Yuanqing paused, recalling the meaning behind the system's words.
To be honest, after all these years, he had long since given up any expectation of the system's rewards.
It's the same anyway.
Moreover, this hidden quest was completed inexplicably.
Therefore, he no longer cared about the system's rewards, since he was already living a very good life.
But if I upgrade, I should be able to get some good stuff!
Lu Yuanqing's curiosity quietly rose again!
