Chapter 475: The Birth of a Child (Part )

It was around four o'clock in the afternoon and the meal was almost ready at home, so Zhou Jing went back to get it.

Wu Suqin made egg noodles for Gu Jia separately. The noodles were rolled very thin and cut neither too wide nor too narrow. Wu Suqin and Zhou Guozhong ate the leftovers from lunch.

"Have Jing and your mother-in-law eaten?"

Wu Suqin waited for her son to come home before cooking noodles for Gu Jia.

"No, I'll eat in the hospital cafeteria later."

Zhou Jing went to the kitchen to taste the soup of the braised noodles. It was a bit light, just right for Gu Jia to eat in the next two days.

"Mom will go to the hospital with you to take care of Gu Jia. You and your mother-in-law will have dinner together."

Wu Suqin put the washed lunch box next to the pot and scooped up the noodles.

"Don't eat too much Jiajia, just half a lunch box will do."

Zhou Jing took out half a bottle of honey from the refrigerator and prepared to take it to the hospital.

"What should I make for Jiajia tonight? How about making some chicken soup?"

Wu Suqin began to think about her daughter-in-law's midnight snack.

"Okay, Dad, stay home and take the keys with you when you go out."

Zhou Jing nodded, and set off after Gu Jia’s meal was ready.

Zhou Guozhong put the keys in his pocket and prepared to go out for a cigarette.

Zhou Jing drove to the hospital for more than ten minutes and called Gu Jia to ask if she needed to buy anything. Gu Jia said no, so Zhou Jing went straight to the ward in the inpatient building.

"Mom is here too, sit down."

Gu Jia, who was lying on the bed, pointed at the chair.

"Not tired. Jiajia, do you prefer heavy or light meals?"

Wu Suqin was worried that the food she served to her daughter-in-law was too light.

"I've been eating lighter food in the past few months. I'm used to it."

Gu Jia sat up and prepared to eat.

Zhou Jing rocked Gu Jia's bed, set up the dining table, put Gu Jia's bowl and chopsticks on the table, scooped half a bowl of stewed noodles for Gu Jia with a spoon, and said, "Would you like some honey water now?"

"After dinner."

Gu Jia tasted the rice and found it a bit light, but it looked quite appetizing, with thin noodles, green vegetables, red tomatoes, and light yellow frangipani.

Wu Suqin stayed in the ward while Zhou Jing and Gu's mother went to the hospital cafeteria to eat.

The food in the hospital cafeteria is not delicious, but it’s not bad either. It’s convenient, clean and hygienic.

Zhou Jing and Gu's mother had a simple buffet and returned to the ward after the meal as they had nothing else to do.

Gu Jia had also finished her meal and was walking on the ground.

"There's nothing to do tonight, both of you can go back."

Zhou Jing will definitely have to stay in the hospital at night, so there is no need for his mother and mother-in-law to stay with him.

"There's nothing to do when I go back. If you have anything, call Xiao Zhou."

Mother Gu thought about it and decided that staying in the hospital would be a waste of time.

Gu Jia sat beside the bed and said, "I'll stay on the bed, you drive them there."

"No, let's take a taxi back."

"Jing, take good care of Jiajia. I'll bring dinner over when it's ready."

How could Gu's mother and Wu Suqin feel at ease leaving Gu Jia without anyone to take care of her?

Zhou Jing didn't say anything more and sent the two to the elevator.

Gu Jia smiled and said to Zhou Jing who had returned to the house: "Have you ever accompanied a patient in the hospital before?"

"During the winter break of my sophomore year, my grandma was hospitalized and I took care of her for a few days."

“No wonder he’s so experienced.”

Gu Jia walked around the room cautiously.

Zhou Jing touched Gu Jia's stomach and smiled, "Are you full?"

"Neither full nor hungry, how is the food in the hospital cafeteria?"

Gu Jia looked at her stomach. She could only eat like this for the next two days. It was okay at night. She could still sleep even if she was a little hungry. But it would be hard to get through the lunch break if she didn’t eat well.

“The taste is similar to that of a university cafeteria, but the variety is not as rich as in a university cafeteria.”

Even though Zhou Jing is worth hundreds of millions now, he still doesn't have high requirements for food.

"I guess you haven't eaten enough, so ask your family to bring some more at night."

Gu Jia pinched Zhou Jing's belly and said.

After walking for a while, Zhou Jing poured Gu Jia a cup of warm water, added two spoons of honey, and asked Gu Jia how sweet it was.

"just."

Gu Jia took a sip, put down the cup, sat on the chair and looked at his phone.

Zhou Jing sat next to Gu Jia, checking the company group messages on his phone with one hand and massaging Gu Jia's legs with the other.

"How is the company?"

Gu Jia looked at Zhou Jing's phone and said.

"Everything is going well. Chuangzhi Technology's office building has been decided to be in Bohua Technology Building. The building is 32 stories high. We plan to buy one floor on the 2025nd floor, with an area of ​​ square meters. We plan to move in in April."

Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. has projects worth more than 300 million yuan, enough to complete in the first and second quarters. What Zhou Jing is more concerned about now is the office building.

In fact, buying one or two floors of office buildings in BJ is useless to Zhou Jing. If he doesn't buy it, the office areas currently rented by the company are relatively scattered, not spacious enough and not convenient to manage. Buying a single floor will not take long. According to Zhou Jing's plan, he will definitely buy an office building in BJ at the latest the year after next.

"It's not far away. That building is so grand. How is the Tangdu branch preparing?"

Gu Jia couldn't wait to return to the company.

"The renovation will be completed this month, and we will start recruiting in March. Bai Xiyao is renting a house near the office building. In the second half of the month, BJ will send selected management to Tangdu to organize the work."

The company will provide accommodation for those sent by BJ to Tangdu. Next, Zhou Jing will ask Bai Xiyao to purchase ten or so houses in Tangdu, which will then be allocated to the engineers of Chuangzhi Technology Tangdu branch and Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. The housing prices in Tangdu are not high now, and ten houses may not be as expensive as one house from BJ. Bai Xiyao will have no pressure to buy twenty houses in Tangdu.

Bai Xiyao said she would buy the houses, so Zhou Jing gave her the opportunity. After buying a dozen houses, Bai Xiyao would make a lot of money in a few years.

As night fell, the hospital's single room area was very quiet. The nurse came to the ward to examine Gu Jia and confirmed that the pregnant woman and the fetus were in good condition.

Zhou Jing accompanied Gu Jia while reading online novels. Time passed quickly without being too bored, and before he knew it, it was past nine o'clock in the evening.

Zhou Guozhong and Wu Suqin came to the hospital together to deliver a midnight snack. Gu Jia ate too lightly in the afternoon, so Wu Suqin and Gu's mother made chicken soup in the evening. Although the chicken soup did not have much salt and seasoning and tasted light, the chicken soup made from old hens bought from the countryside was very nutritious.

"I brought soy sauce, it's too bland, add some."

Wu Suqin took out the bottle of soy sauce from her bag and said.

"That's right, I have enough. Zhou Jing drank the rest."

Gu Jia tasted the chicken soup and it was neither salty nor bland.

"You can eat more today and at noon tomorrow, and eat less tomorrow night. If you don't replenish your energy in advance, you won't have the strength to give birth naturally the next day."

Zhou Jing picked up a few more pieces of chicken for Gu Jia.

That’s right, Gu Jia thought to herself, it’s true that you won’t have the energy to do anything if you’re hungry.

"That is, you have to make sure your nutrition and physical fitness are up to par. Having a baby is a physically demanding job."

Wu Suqin continued.

Zhou Guozhong couldn't get a word in, so he went to sit in the living room alone.

Wu Suqin looked at her daughter-in-law and asked, "Jia Jia, what would you like to eat tomorrow morning?"

"Porridge or soy milk will do."

Gu Jia thought for a moment and said.

Wu Suqin said, "We need to replenish our energy tomorrow. How about eight-treasure porridge and steamed buns? How about steamed buns with some beef?"

"I want to drink millet porridge."

Gu Jia nodded and said.

After having supper, Zhou Jing cleaned up the dishes and lunch boxes, and Wu Suqin took the things and took a taxi home with Zhou Guozhong.

Zhou Jing helped Gu Jia get up and wash. After washing her face and brushing her teeth, he helped Gu Jia sit on the chair. Zhou Jing washed Gu Jia's feet. After washing her feet, Zhou Jing asked Gu Jia to change her underwear and brought her a clean one. Zhou Jing washed the underwear he took off, as well as his own socks.

Being taken care of meticulously, Gu Jia felt warm and sweet in her heart.

"have a rest!"

After Zhou Jing finished his work, Gu Jia looked at the time. It was almost ten o'clock. Time would pass faster if he fell asleep.

"No need to get up at night."

To prevent Gu Jia from turning over and falling off the bed, Zhou Jing put up the guardrail of the bed.

"Just sleep till the day after tomorrow."

Sleeping in the hospital is never as comfortable as at home, Gu Jia sighed softly. "Are you sleepy?"

Zhou Jing sat on a chair beside the bed and reached under the quilt to rub Gu Jia's legs.

"That's it, go to sleep!"

Gu Jia was not sleepy, but fell asleep after lying down for a while.

Zhou Jing turned off the light and went to the folding bed. After hearing Gu Jia's even breathing and falling asleep, Zhou Jing also fell asleep.

The next day, Zhou Jing woke up at around five o'clock and lay down until Gu Jia woke up at almost six o'clock. Zhou Jing got up and walked to Gu Jia's bed. He reached into the quilt and touched Gu Jia's belly and asked, "Did the little guy move this morning?"

"It moved, and the movement was quite large. I guess it woke up and stretched. I don't know what time the baby will be born tomorrow."

Gu Jia got up with a smile.

"It will come out naturally when it's time." Zhou Jing tidied up Gu Jia's slightly messy hair and said, "Disciple will comb Master's hair."

"Get up first."

Gu Jia got out of bed carefully.

Zhou Jing helped Gu Jia sit on the chair and picked up the comb to comb her hair. Gu Jia sat upright with one hand on her stomach to feel the movement inside.

"There are many examination items this morning. The accompanying personnel must stay with the pregnant woman. There is a blood test. The blood will be drawn after 8 o'clock. Do not drink water or eat before that. When you go to the toilet, collect some water from this and send it to the urine test room."

The nurse came to the ward and gave instructions.

"it is good."

Zhou Jing knew that the nurse had told him about today's examination items yesterday, including fetal heart monitoring, B-ultrasound, blood tests, measurement of vital signs, etc.

Before the formal examination, the medical staff first checked Gu Jia's pulse and the fetal pulsation, and after confirming that everything was fine, they waited for the formal examination.

"Luckily I had chicken soup last night, otherwise I would be hungry now."

Although Gu Jia had four meals a day these two days, she ate little each time and her stomach was always empty.

"Are you thirsty now?"

Zhou Jing pinched Gu Jia's ear and said.

"Kind of."

"It's okay to rinse your mouth."

Gu Jia's hair was very smooth, and Zhou Jing combed it quickly. Gu Jia picked up the hairband, tied her hair up and went to wash her face.

Zhou Jing called home and asked them to send breakfast over too early, as it would not be too late after nine o'clock.

Worried that Zhou Jing couldn't take care of him alone in the hospital, Gu's mother said she would go to the hospital first.

Gu Jia washed her face, and the hospital nurses cleaned up the ward. Zhou Jing accompanied her around the corridor. The hospital was quite busy in the morning. The doctors were busy making rounds, and the sound of babies crying could be heard from the corridor from time to time.

"cute?"

Gu Jia said as she looked at the child in the crib that the adult was pushing over to her.

"cute."

The little human cub is really cute.

Before seven o'clock, Gu's mother came to the hospital and saw the small clothes hanging on the radiator. She said, "Xiao Zhou doesn't need to wash. We can take the clothes home to wash them."

"it is good."

Zhou Jing only washes small items.

"It's still early before nine o'clock, go out and eat something first."

Gu Jia touched Zhou Jing's belly and said.

"I'll just look after Jia Jia."

Mother Gu also said.

Zhou Jing was not hungry, but the air in the hospital was filled with the smell of disinfectant and medicine. It was a bit stuffy after staying there for a long time. He wanted to go out and get some fresh air while he had some time, so he took his wallet and went out.

After leaving the building, the air suddenly became much fresher. The cold air outside made Zhou Jing much more awake.

Unable to stay outside for too long, Zhou Jing prepared to go to the hospital cafeteria for breakfast, but when he thought of buying some fruit, he turned back and went outside.

I went to the breakfast shop opposite the hospital and ordered a bowl of soy milk, a fried dough stick and a bun.

Zhou Jing is about to become a father, and he feels a little dizzy. Looking at other people taking care of their children, he thinks that he will also be able to take care of his children soon. It seems both troublesome and fun.

After breakfast, Zhou Jing went to the fruit store and bought some bananas, mandarin oranges, honey oranges, and a box of strawberries.

"It makes me hungry."

Looking at the fresh fruit, Gu Jia wanted to eat it but couldn’t eat it before the examination.

"I'll eat it for you."

Zhou Jing washed the strawberries and let his mother-in-law taste them.

"It shouldn't matter if I take one, right?"

The strawberries are delicious, said Gu’s mother, looking at her greedy daughter.

"Fruits contain a lot of sugar, which has a significant impact on blood sugar testing."

Zhou Jing felt that it didn't matter. Gu Jia was in good health, so it didn't matter whether she had a check-up or not.

"I still don't want to eat."

Gu Jia sighed softly.

Tang Yuan, the executive director of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd., called Zhou Jing to ask which hospital and ward Vice President Gu was in, and then asked with concern whether the baby had been born.

Zhou Jing told the truth and said that if nothing unexpected happened, the baby would be born tomorrow.

Tang Yuan must have asked on behalf of several executives of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. The boss's wife is giving birth to a child, and as an executive of the company and not far away, he must express his gratitude.

"People from the company are coming to the hospital?"

Gu Jia asked after Zhou Jing hung up the phone.

"It should be here in two days."

"If there's anything going on at the company, Xiao Zhou will go check it out. I'll be in charge of the hospital."

Gu's mother said that her son-in-law was the boss of the company, so it was okay for him to take care of company matters.

"Nothing."

Zhou Jing couldn't concentrate on his work even when he went to the company.

At around eight o'clock, the medical staff notified that it was time for the examination. Zhou Jing took Gu Jia to check each item one by one, including questioning, internal examination, and checking body temperature, pulse, blood pressure, weight, etc. to confirm whether there was any gestational hypertension, and then checked the fetal heartbeat.

"Finally I can eat."

After checking all the items at around nine o'clock, Gu Jia's stomach was growling with hunger.

"How was the inspection?"

Wu Suqin asked about the things she was most concerned about first.

"no problem."

Zhou Jing picked a tangerine for Gu Jia to whet her appetite.

"Jia Jia, what do you want to eat for lunch?"

It was getting late, so Wu Suqin prepared to go back and make lunch.

"Egg custard, rice cooked into a thicker rice porridge, a few pieces of chicken thighs, some cucumber, lettuce, and cooked broccoli."

Seeing that Gu Jia couldn’t think of what to eat for a moment, Zhou Jing said.

"can."

Gu Jia nodded. This menu contains egg custard and chicken thighs to replenish energy, and vegetables to supplement vitamins. It is very suitable for today.

Wu Suqin didn't stay long and went home with her lunch box.

Gu Jia drank a bowl of millet porridge and ate two steamed buns. The family brought eight steamed buns in total, Gu's mother ate two, and there were four left, and Zhou Jing ate one.

"Go lie down for a while if you're sleepy."

Gu Jia was sitting on the sofa in the living room playing games on her mobile phone and said to Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing asked his mother-in-law to rest on the bed, and he sat on the sofa to read the company group messages.

"A lot of breast milk is wasted. Should I put the unfinished milk in the refrigerator after the baby is born?"

Gu Jia felt very sorry.

"No, if you put it in the refrigerator and can't finish it, you will have to throw it away in the end."

Zhou Jing felt that it was unnecessary. Excess breast milk would always be wasted, so there was no need to do anything unnecessary.

"Ok."

Gu Jia was quite helpless. Some would die of drought, and some would die of flood.

The day passed quickly, and it was the tenth day of the first lunar month in a blink of an eye. Gu Jia reacted early in the morning, and Zhou Jing immediately called medical staff to check the situation.
