Chapter 474: The Birth of a Child (Part )
Zhou Guozhong and Wu Suqin arrived in BJ at around nine in the morning. Zhou Jing drove to the train station in advance to pick them up. The train arrived on time, and Zhou Guozhong and Wu Suqin came out of the exit a few minutes later.
"What did you bring this time?"
Zhou Jing immediately walked towards his parents who were carrying a lot of bags.
At this time, my father had a snakeskin bag filled with half a bag of things tucked into his left elbow, and a cardboard box wrapped with several rounds of wide tape in his right hand. My mother was pulling a suitcase and carrying a small package. The two of them looked very simple.
"Chicken, millet, black beans, dates, free-range eggs, pork and mutton. The company is closed for the holiday today, are you busy?"
Wu Suqin was very tired, so she put her things down and took a rest after leaving the station.
"Don't worry. You don't need to bring eggs and meat. It's such a long way."
Zhou Jing lifted the snakeskin bag his father had, which was quite heavy.
"It's not like people can hold Chela, when do you think Jiajia will give birth?"
Wu Suqin looked at her son and said.
"The tenth or eleventh."
After resting for a while, Zhou Jing picked up the heaviest package and went to look for a car.
"The meat is thawing in the car, be careful not to get it on your clothes."
Zhou Guozhong patted his down jacket and said to his son.
"It's okay. I haven't finished the meat I brought last time. How much did you bring this time?"
Zhou Jing carried the snakeskin bag with one hand easily.
"Seven chickens, more than five pounds of pork and more than five pounds of mutton."
"There are only 20 to 30 kilograms of meat. Luckily I bought a refrigerator last year."
Last December, Zhou Jing bought another one because he was worried that there would be too many things for the New Year and the refrigerator he brought with him to his rented house would not be enough.
"It's too troublesome to rent a house and move out. When can you buy a house in BJ?"
Wu Suqin looked at her son's back and said.
"It should be possible this year. I will apply for the qualification after I finish my busy work during this period."
Last year, Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. paid tens of millions in taxes and five million in registered capital. In December last year, it booked an office building of 2000 square meters at a price of 1.2 yuan per square meter. Including the procedures of several million yuan, Zhou Jing should be eligible to buy a house.
"Off-plan properties are too slow, should I buy an existing property?"
“Both existing and second-hand properties are fine.”
Now is the urgent need, Zhou Jing gives priority to those who can move in as soon as possible.
“How much is the housing price in the area where the company is located?”
Wu Suqin continued to ask.
"13 or yuan, planning to buy a house of around square meters."
Gu Jia didn't want to hire a nanny. The house shouldn't be too big. It would only be enough if there were three bedrooms and a living room, a big kitchen, and a separate bathroom and toilet. If it was too big, it would be too tiring to clean.
"It's really expensive. Your father and I will pay for the house."
Wu Suqin saw what housing prices were like. The money for one house in BJ was enough to buy twenty or thirty houses in Yulin City. But money was not a big problem. Her family had earned more than three million yuan since the opening of the Internet cafe, which was enough for the down payment and monthly payments.
"You should keep the money at home for your retirement!"
Zhou Jing is not short of that money, and a down payment of two million is no problem for him.
"You are the one who will support me in my old age."
Wu Suqin brought the bank card from home and prepared to give it to her son.
Today, Zhou Jing's car was restricted, so he drove Gu Jia's red Mercedes-Benz. In the temporary parking space at the train station, the red small to medium-sized Mercedes-Benz SUV was particularly bright.
"Have you decided whether to have a natural birth or a caesarean section?"
As the baby is about to be born, Wu Suqin becomes even more nervous, hoping that nothing will happen at this critical moment.
"After going to the hospital for a checkup today, Jiajia is inclined to have a natural birth."
After putting the things in the car, Zhou Jing got in, started the car, and took a box of Huazi to his father.
Zhou Guozhong doesn't smoke in the car, he keeps his cigarettes in a safe place.
"Mom and Dad have worked hard along the way."
Gu Jia greeted him in the corridor with a smile on her face.
"Jia Jia, you don't need to come out. Take more rest these few days."
Wu Suqin glanced at her daughter-in-law's belly and a smile spread across her face.
"It's okay to take a walk."
Gu Jia took Wu Suqin's arm and went back to the house.
"It's too tiring for my in-laws to carry so many things all the way here."
Gu's mother was almost done cooking and came to the living room to serve tea.
"It looks a lot, but it's not that heavy. Jiajia, just sit down and don't worry about us."
Wu Suqin helped Gu Jia sit on the sofa, and went to the bathroom with Zhou Guozhong to wash up.
Zhou Jing took the things to the kitchen, opened the snakeskin bag first, took out the meat and put it in the refrigerator.
“The meat you buy in the countryside is authentic.”
Gu's mother put things away together.
"Here are seven hens for making chicken soup for Jiajia."
Zhou Jing released the chicken alone.
Mother Gu opened the carton and looked at the intact eggs and said, "It's not easy to carry eggs from such a long distance."
"I come."
Zhou Jing put the eggs one by one into the refrigerator's cold storage layer.
The local specialties from the countryside are good things that money cannot buy in big cities. To prevent them from getting infested with insects, Gu's mother put millet, mung beans, and black soybeans into mineral water barrels that originally contained rice and beans. The mineral water barrels are sealed and will not get damp, so the things will not get infested with insects even if they are kept there for a year or two.
"Clean up the other things after you finish, Xiao Zhou, eat first."
Mother Gu saw that Zhou Guozhong and Wu Suqin had washed their faces and were getting ready to eat.
Zhou Jing put down the work in his hands, washed his hands and helped serve the dishes.
"Jia Jia, please sit down first."
Wu Suqin helped Gu Jia to sit at the dining table.
"Mom and Dad sit down too."
Gu Jia sat down carefully and said.
After the meal was ready, Zhou Jing sat next to Gu Jia and took care of her while she ate.
Gu Jia should eat less these days and try to eat nutritious food. Boiled shrimps were made for lunch. Zhou Jing peeled the shrimps for Gu Jia while she ate and put the shrimp meat in Gu Jia's bowl.
"Jia Jia's face hasn't gained much weight this year."
Wu Suqin looked at her daughter-in-law and knew that Gu Jia was not lacking in nutrition, but her physique made it difficult for her to gain weight.
“It should be more nutritionally balanced.”
Gu Jia was very fortunate that after she became pregnant, she ate meat four times a day but did not gain noticeable weight.
Mother Gu smiled and said, "This child has been thin since childhood. He was the thinnest in junior high and high school, and he gained some weight when he entered college."
"Fat people have both physical constitution and irregular diet."
Zhou Jing looked at Gu Jia and said.
Gu Jia ate many meals every day during her pregnancy, but not too much at each meal. She only ate half a bowl of rice and a bowl of noodles, and the combination of meat and vegetables was very reasonable.
After dinner, Zhou Jing packed up the things he needed to go to the hospital and set off, including Gu Jia's comb, mobile phone charger, socks, underwear, dishes and chopsticks, the child's bottle, milk powder, rattles and other small toys.
"I have never been hospitalized as far as I can remember. You will have to suffer with me tonight."
Gu Jia sat by the bed and helped pack the clothes.
"The hospital provides single rooms with folding beds, so it doesn't matter where you sleep."
It is not hard for Zhou Jing to accompany women, but it is hard to deal with different women.
“With a stroller?”
Zhou Guozhong came to the study and said.
"No need to bring it. You'll need to bring it when you're discharged from the hospital." Zhou Jing packed his things and went to the bedroom to check on Gu Jia. "Are your legs weak?"
"Kind of."
The first time she gave birth, Gu Jia was more nervous than when she took the college entrance examination. Thinking that she might give birth at any time in the next few days, Gu Jia's heart beat faster.
"The little guy needs to come out smoothly like Shunliu."
Zhou Jing gently rubbed Gu Jia's belly.
"It moved a bit, but it should still be upside down. Did the little guy hear what you said?" Gu Jia said with a smile.
"Jia Jia, what do you want to eat tonight?"
Wu Suqin thought about dinner in advance.
"Let's eat noodles. Stewed noodles."
"How about the egg noodles?"
"Row."
Gu Jia nodded.
"There are two lunch boxes. The three-layer one is for vegetables and rice, and the other one is for soup. You can also use the soup box for stewed noodles."
Zhou Jing put the lunch box in the kitchen cabinet.
Wu Suqin remembered this, and she wanted to tell her son that if there was something going on at the company, he should go to the company, but she couldn't speak in front of her daughter-in-law and in-laws.
After packing up, they set out for the hospital. Zhou Guozhong and Gu's mother went together. The two of them walked in front with the things in their hands, while Zhou Jing supported Gu Jia from behind.
Wu Suqin stayed at home to clean up.
After getting outside, Zhou Jing opened the passenger door, moved the passenger seat back, helped Gu Jia sit in and fastened her seat belt.
"There's nothing to do in the hospital today. My in-laws are tired after sitting on the train all night and are going back to rest."
Put the things in the trunk, said Gu's mother.
"Not tired, I slept in the sleeper for a whole night."
Zhou Guozhong must be sent to the hospital.
Everyone was seated, Zhou Jing lightly stepped on the accelerator, and the car started slowly. With Gu Jia in the car, Zhou Jing drove more steadily, and the car basically did not shake due to stepping on the brakes and accelerator too quickly.
When they arrived at the hospital, he helped Gu Jia find a place to sit while Zhou Jing went to handle the hospitalization procedures for the pregnant woman and paid the fees. Zhou Jing paid 50,000 yuan in one go, which could be refunded if not used up. He paid by swiping a card and took out a card from his wallet and handed it to the other party.
If you give birth naturally, you can save a lot of money, 50,000 yuan is enough.
If it is a caesarean section, 50,000 may not be enough. The patient needs to be hospitalized for at least one week after the caesarean section. The daily medicine cost is not small, and there are also examination, hospitalization fees, etc. The hospitalization cost is more than one thousand per night, and the ten days of hospitalization before and after delivery is more than ten thousand.
After completing the formalities, go to the reserved single room.
"What are the inspection items today?"
Mother Gu said to Zhou Jing.
"Just a prenatal check-up to reconfirm the due date."
Zhou Jing handed the examination list to his mother-in-law.
"The house is quite big."
When she arrived at the room, Gu Jia was a little surprised that the hospital had a ward with a living room, which was worth spending more than a thousand yuan a day.
"Pregnant women, please take a rest first. Go to the accompanying service station to confirm the hospitalization procedures, and then go to get the medicine according to the instructions. This is the call button. You can call at any time if you have any questions."
"It is best to keep one person in the ward to accompany the pregnant woman and pay more attention to her condition."
"In terms of diet, eat small and frequent meals before and after childbirth, eat light, easy-to-digest and digestive foods, such as vegetables and fruits, and drink some fruit juice as appropriate."
"Don't eat spicy, sweet, salty or greasy food before giving birth."
"Don't eat too much eggs or milk. You can eat egg custard appropriately. If you have a normal birth, drink some juice or brown sugar water on the day of delivery to replenish your energy. The precautions are all there. Accompanying personnel should read the precautions more."
The nurse delivered hospital gowns and other items to the ward, installed the oxygen filter bottle and breathing tube, and filled out the pregnant woman information card and inserted it on the bed.
"Can we have egg noodles today?"
Mother Gu didn't remember clearly what the nurse said, but she roughly knew that she should eat light food.
"I'll see the test results later. It's okay if I don't give birth today."
"."
Pregnant women were reminded of things to pay attention to, and the nurses taught the accompanying staff how to operate the ward, such as how to take off and land, how to place the dining table, etc. The service was very thoughtful.
Zhou Jing went through all the formalities and returned to the ward. The water dispenser was already filled with water buckets. Zhou Jing used paper cups to pour a cup of hot water for his father and mother-in-law, and poured a cup into Gu Jia's thermos cup and said, "There's nothing to do in the hospital, Dad and Mom, take a rest and go back. Can Dad find the way by car?"
"My dear in-laws, go back first. I will stay and take care of him. If something happens and Xiao Zhou can't get away alone, Xiao Zhou can take your father back now while we are free."
Mother Gu followed up.
"also."
Zhou Jing felt the same way. His father, as a grown man, couldn't help much.
"Then I'll take a taxi back. Just call and let me know if you need anything delivered."
Zhou Guozhong doesn't need his son to send him off because he can't help or cause any trouble.
"Row."
Zhou Jing nodded, sent his father to the corridor, returned to the room, opened the folding bed, spread out the bedding he brought from home and let his mother-in-law rest.
"I'm not tired, just sit down."
Mother Gu sat in a chair beside the bed.
Zhou Jing sat next to Gu Jia and picked up the maternity handbook to look through it. "You should also eat less eggs. You can eat egg custard, but try not to eat boiled or scrambled eggs. It's best not to eat meat. Honey water should be better than brown sugar water. I don't know if the brown sugar you bought is authentic."
"I don't know, ask the nurse."
Gu Jia shook her head.
"Honey should be fine, but you should ask."
Mother Gu wasn't sure either.
Zhou Jing pressed the call button on the bedside.
"Hello, this is the nurse service station, please."
The nurse's sweet voice came over the loudspeaker.
"Can pregnant women drink honey water instead of brown sugar during labor?"
Zhou Jing asked the other party.
"Okay, just be careful not to make it too sweet."
"Got it, thank you."
"."
Zhou Jing called his mother and asked her to use less cooking oil, roll the noodles thinner, use less salt, and not add pepper, thirteen spices and other seasonings. Just use less soy sauce, and "add eggs to the stewed noodles, don't fry them."
"understood."
Wu Suqin took note of it carefully.
Zhou Jing hung up the phone, and Gu Jia sighed softly, "It's so boring to be in the hospital."
"Just bear with it for two days, and you won't be bored when the baby is born."
Zhou Jing shook Gu Jia's hand.
Gu Jia said with a smile: "You can play with the baby after it is born, right? Babies are ugly when they are first born, so be prepared."
"No matter how ugly it is, it can't be that ugly."
Zhou Jing has confidence in his and Gu Jia's child.
"Xiao Zhou, we can just eat in the hospital cafeteria. Tell your mother not to cook too much."
Mrs. Gu will be returning home in the evening today, so there is no need for her to bring food from home.
"Ah."
Zhou Jing sent a message to his mother.
Whoosh, feeling bored, Gu Jia opened her phone and played Happy Elimination.
Zhou Jing checked the work group on his mobile phone. Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. quickly returned to work after the holiday today. Knowing that Zhou Jing was busy these days, several executives tried not to bother Zhou Jing as much as possible. If there were any problems, they would discuss and solve them together.
The two companies in Tangdu also started operations smoothly. Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. was led by the new general manager He Kang and deputy general manager and security director Yang An, while Bai Xiyao took the time to focus on Ideal Technology Co., Ltd.
"I can't pass this level, help me pass it."
Gu Jia played more than 322 levels of the iPhone mobile version of Happy Elimination, and got stuck at level .
The web version of Happy Elimination has been updated to more than 600 levels, and the iPhone version has been updated to more than 400 levels. After being online for seven or eight months, the game is still very popular, maintaining the second place on the QQ game list and the first place on the iPhone mobile app store popularity list.
Zhou Jing took Gu Jia's phone and passed it over immediately.
“As expected of a developer.”
Gu Jia continued to the next level.
“We are planning two games for smartphones.”
Zhou Jing opened the novel app on his mobile phone and read a fantasy novel.
The nurse came to the ward and informed the pregnant woman to be taken for a check-up.
Gu Jia had already changed into her hospital gown. Zhou Jing helped her put on her shoes and helped her to the examination room. The examination results were all good. The due date was the tenth day of the first lunar month. This examination was more accurate, and it said that if nothing unexpected happened, the birth would be on the tenth day.
