Chapter 476 Mother and daughter are safe
Gu Jia was about to give birth and was arranged to go into the delivery room. Zhou Jing called home to inform them of the situation.
Upon hearing the news, Zhou Guozhong, Wu Suqin and Gu's mother rushed to the hospital together. Their anxiety was useless and Zhou Jing could only wait outside.
"Are you sure you want a natural birth?"
Mother Gu asked immediately.
"Well, judging by the fetal posture and Jiajia's physical examination, she is in a good position for a natural birth. If that doesn't work, we can do a caesarean section."
Zhou Jing was a little excited. The day had finally arrived after much anticipation.
"Don't worry, sister. The technology in hospitals is good now and nothing will happen."
Wu Suqin comforted Gu's mother.
"I can't get out for a while, go to the ward and rest."
Zhou Jing just needs to stay outside the delivery room alone.
Mother Gu sat on a chair in the corridor and said, "It's okay. It doesn't matter where you stay. Xiao Zhou, go out for breakfast while you have time. You'll be busy for a while after the baby is born."
"Not hungry."
How could Zhou Jing have the heart to eat breakfast at this moment?
"I'll go out and buy you whatever you want to eat."
Wu Suqin looked at the time and said.
"Wait until Jiajia gives birth."
The hospital corridor is not a place to eat, Zhou Jing said.
The next step is to wait patiently. For the first time, Zhou Jing feels the feeling of becoming a father. Until now, he still doesn’t know whether it is a son or a daughter. As the answer is about to be revealed, Zhou Jing feels extremely excited.
"Is the chicken soup ready?"
Zhou Jing looked at his mother and said.
"I'm afraid I'll be busy in the morning and have to cook until after 5 o'clock. I'll keep it warm when it's almost done."
Wu Suqin was worried that Gu Jia might give birth suddenly and would be in a hurry, so she prepared everything that needed to be done in advance.
The waiting time is always long, although it was not too long. From the time Gu Jia entered the delivery room, good news came more than an hour later. The midwifery medical staff came out of the delivery room and said that mother and daughter were safe.
"It went pretty smoothly."
"Is it a girl?"
Gu's mother and Wu Suqin breathed a sigh of relief before they realized that what the nurse said was that the mother and daughter were safe.
"Yes."
"Xiao Zhou likes daughters, and now he has got what he wanted."
Mother Gu's face was full of smiles, and she felt relieved at last. At the age of fifty-six or fifty-seven, she finally had a grandson in her arms.
"Can I go in now?"
Zhou Jing couldn't hide his excitement. He had been looking forward to the little moon for the past ten months. Finally, it had arrived.
"No, wait a moment."
The nurse said and returned to the delivery room.
"I can finally rest assured. Xiao Zhou and Jia Jia probably didn't get enough rest last night, right?"
Mother Gu sat on the chair and said.
"Jia Jia slept intermittently for a while."
Zhou Jing didn't sleep all night last night, always paying attention to Gu Jia's condition.
"I'll go back and check on the chicken soup first. Let me know when Jiajia is ready to eat."
Wu Suqin wanted to see her newborn granddaughter as soon as possible, but not everyone could stay in the hospital.
"Row."
Zhou Jing nodded and said.
"I'll be watching over him at the hospital. You can go back alone."
Zhou Guozhong said, feeling relieved but not good at expressing himself.
Wu Suqin thought so too. She went to the ward, packed her things and went home.
After more than ten minutes, the nurse came out to inform the family that they could go in. Zhou Jing helped his mother-in-law up from the chair, entered the delivery room, turned left and passed through another door, and saw Gu Jia lying on the bed.
At this time, Gu Jia still looked good, except that her lips were a little dry, but she didn't look too haggard or weak.
On one of Gu Jia's arms, there was a tiny human cub lying. The little guy had slightly wrinkled skin, delicate flesh, and his eyes were closed. He was not that white when he was born, nor was he as ugly as Zhou Jing imagined.
"How brave! How does it feel?"
Coming to the bed, Zhou Jing first touched Gu Jia's face.
"It's not as painful as I imagined." Gu Jia forced a smile on her face, tilted her head to look at the little guy in her arms and said, "It's fine now. You looked so ugly when you were frowning just now."
"Girls change a lot when they grow up. Are they asleep or awake?"
Zhou Jing reached out and gently touched the little guy's hand.
The child lay on Gu Jia's arm, and like all other children, she held her hands when she slept. She seemed to sense someone touching her, so she loosened her hands and held one of Zhou Jing's fingers.
Even though Zhou Jing had been the father of Yang Wenwen's daughter for two years and had long since adapted to the role of a father, he was still a little overwhelmed when facing his own biological child. For the first time, he intuitively felt the magic of life and the invisible and intangible connection of blood, and realized that a most important member had been added to his life.
"Maybe the baby was too hungry this morning, so he kept crying and moving his hands and feet. He only calmed down after eating some milk."
Gu Jia looked at the little guy and said with a smile.
"So good." Mother Gu touched the child's shoulder, put her hand on Gu Jia's forehead and said with relief: "Jia Jia is stronger than our generation."
"Maybe the baby is in the right position and the birth went smoothly." Gu Jia smiled and said to Zhou Jing, "Didn't you say that if the birth went smoothly, the nickname would be Shunliu?"
"Girls can't have such a cheesy name."
Zhou Jing bent down and kissed the little guy's head.
"You just prefer your daughter. Are you more like me when I was a child or like Zhou Jing when he was a child?"
Gu Jia looked at her mother and her child's grandfather and said.
"The nose and mouth look like yours."
Mother Gu looked at the little guy carefully and said.
Zhou Guozhong then said: "The eyes look like Zhou Jing."
"Zhou Jing has beautiful eyes."
Gu Jia looked at the little guy carefully and found that his eyes really looked like Zhou Jing's.
The next step is to register the little one with an information card, which includes name, gender, birth date, mother, etc. Once the gender is confirmed, the name is also finalized. Zhou Jing named him Zhou Muyu, and asked Gu Jia if she was sure.
If you are sure, apply for a birth certificate immediately and register this name.
"What do parents think?"
Gu Jia thought this name was very good.
"very good."
Zhou Guozhong and Gu's mother had no objection.
After deciding on the name, Zhou Jing wrote it down for the nurse, who made an information card and put it on the child's wrist.
Gu Jia needed to be observed in the delivery room for a while. Since there was nothing else to do in the hospital, Zhou Jing asked his father to go back first.
While Gu's mother was taking care of Gu Jia, Zhou Jing went to the ward to get the camera and took a few photos of Gu Jia and her daughter. Before taking the photos, Zhou Jing turned off the camera flash to prevent irritation to the little one's eyes.
"Turn over."
Gu Jia gently moved the little guy.
The little guy moved his mouth and looked like he was sleeping soundly.
"eggplant."
"eggplant."
Gu Jia hugged the child's hand and made a scissors hand gesture.
Zhou Jing took a few photos and showed them to Gu Jia.
"The baby slept a lot in the first month, and started to make noises in the second month."
Mother Gu sat by the bed and looked at the little guy, smiling from ear to ear.
"Girls should be more obedient." After the child was born, Gu Jia's tense nerves relaxed. After being "confined" for several months, she could finally be free. However, she did not relax in her heart, as she knew she would always care about her child.
Wu Suqin arrived at the hospital at around nine o'clock, bringing with her some chicken soup from an old hen that had been slow-cooked for more than two hours. When she arrived at the hospital, Wu Suqin couldn't wait to see the child.
"Little guy, go sleep somewhere else. Mommy is going to eat."
Zhou Jing carefully picked up the little guy and placed him in the crib.
Wu Suqin covered the baby with the quilt and said, "The baby is sleeping so soundly."
"Are you as good as I was when I was a kid?"
Zhou Jing rocked Gu Jia's bed and put the table away.
"The baby is well behaved right after birth. What would Jiajia like to eat for lunch?"
Wu Suqin put the prepared chicken soup on the table.
"Please help me think."
Gu Jia has a good appetite, but she can't eat whatever she wants, which makes Zhou Jing wonder.
"Tomato egg drop soup and steamed buns, and dragon beard noodles with some vegetables and shrimp in the evening, how about that?"
Zhou Jing looked at the confinement menu and said after thinking for a while.
"can."
Gu Jia nodded. What Zhou Jing thought of was more suitable than what she thought.
"You woke up just as your mother started eating. Did you smell it?"
Mother Gu poked the face of the child who opened his eyes.
"Are you hungry?"
Zhou Jing lay down beside the crib, gently holding the little one's hand and said.
The child blinks his watery eyes, as if he is full of curiosity about the world and people in front of him. Although he cannot speak, his expressions are very rich, sometimes blinking and sometimes smacking his lips.
"She will cry when she is hungry. Baby, be good. Wait until mommy is full before feeding you."
Mother Gu was afraid that the little girl would cry, so she moved so that she could see her mother.
Gu Jia drank a mouthful of chicken soup and looked at the child and said, "Do you want some chicken soup?"
"This is mom, this is grandma, this is grandpa, this is grandma, I'm dad, come here, dad, hug me, how should I hug you?"
Zhou Jing wrapped the little girl in a small quilt and did not pick her up directly, worried that the posture would hurt her.
"Remember that you cannot hold a baby under your arms if he is less than three months old. His neck is not fully developed and without a support point, it is easy to hurt his neck. When holding him, you should support his head and neck with one hand and his bottom with the other hand. You can try it."
The nurse came over and taught him step by step. After teaching, she said to Zhou Jing
Zhou Jing followed the nurse's instructions and put his right hand through the little girl's neck to support her neck and head. Zhou Jing's palms were broad and powerful, and he could easily lift the child up.
"Yes, that's right. Be careful to support the baby's head with the elbow and don't let the baby's head swing without support."
The nurse added.
"The baby is so good, he doesn't cry or make a fuss."
Wu Suqin gently held her granddaughter's hand.
"This shows that the baby is healthy. Babies cannot speak. If they are uncomfortable or hungry, they will express it by crying. She didn't cry, and her expression looked comfortable, which showed that she was not feeling unwell."
The nurse explained.
"Her mother was also healthy during her pregnancy."
Mother Gu said with a smile.
Zhou Jing held the little guy and sat next to Gu Jia, "Smile for mommy."
"Smile."
Gu Jia said with a smile.
The little guy blinked his eyes and showed a lively little expression.
"So cute."
Gu Jia poked her daughter's face with her finger.
The whole morning passed unknowingly in the joy of welcoming a new life. At noon, after Wu Suqin brought lunch to Gu Jia, Zhou Jing and Gu's mother went out to eat.
"Xiao Zhou has finished his meal and is going home to rest."
After leaving the hospital building, Gu's mother said that she was worried that her son-in-law was too tired after not getting enough sleep the night before.
"It's okay. It won't hurt to stay up late when you're young."
Zhou Jing wasn't really tired. How could he sleep when his daughter was just born? But he wanted to go back and take a shower. He felt like he was going to mold after staying in the hospital day and night.
After having dinner in the hospital cafeteria, Zhou Jing went to see Gu Jia and the child. The child was sleeping, and Gu Jia was ready to rest after dinner. Zhou Jing arranged things at the hospital and went home. It was enough to have three parents take care of the children in the hospital.
After officially becoming a father, Zhou Jing's nerves, which had been tense for more than a year, relaxed a lot. No matter what, the child he and Gu Jia had was born safely. However, Zhou Jing did not completely relax. He wanted to conceal his scumbag behavior as long as possible. Anyway, Chen Jiaqian was not in the country and it would not be easy to be exposed.
After returning home, Zhou Jing took a shower, changed his clothes, went to the study, turned on the computer, and checked the company's work group and email.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the third day after the Spring Festival holiday, the work of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. was carried out as planned, with each team working on their own project.
After two days of pre-job assessment on the 3th and 4th of the first lunar month, Tangdu Ideal Technology Co., Ltd. officially entered production mode today. All three production lines are in operation and have begun to produce Bluetooth speakers, MP and MP, wired headphones and other products. At the same time, the R&D department is stepping up the formulation of technical parameters for traditional mobile phones.
Bai Xiyao devoted all her time and energy to the electronics factory, and Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. was temporarily handed over to He Kang, Yang An, Bai Dongdong and others.
While reading the work report of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd., Zhou Jing called Bai Xiyao. After the call was connected, he pressed the speakerphone button and put it on the table.
Bai Xiyao asked immediately: "Did Gu Jia give birth?"
Zhou Jing: "Mother and daughter are safe. The baby was born around seven in the morning."
Bai Xiyao: "Congratulations, how much does the baby weigh?"
Zhou Jing: "6.6 catties, very lucky."
Bai Xiyao: "Okay, how does it feel to be a father?"
Bai Xiyao was also relieved for Zhou Jing. Everything would be fine after Gu Jia had a child. Even if her boyfriend exposed her cheating, she would not get angry and do something unexpected to complicate things. Bai Xiyao hoped that Zhou Jing would be able to focus on his life after having a child.
Zhou Jing: "It has roots. You will know when you have your own child."
The feeling of having a child is hard to describe in words. The only word Zhou Jing can think of is "having roots".
Bai Xiyao: "I will come to claim my goddaughter when she is one month old. By the way, is it a natural birth or a caesarean section?"
Zhou Jing: "Normal delivery."
Bai Xiyao: "Gu Jia is amazing. The electronics factory has started production and everything is going smoothly."
Zhou Jing: "That's good. Product quality control is embedded in the company's soul from the beginning."
Bai Xiyao: "OK, but when making mobile phones, we have to consider one thing. Electronic products are updated quickly. If the quality is too good, it will be like the tractors, TVs, fans, etc. from decades ago. The TVs and fans in my hometown are older than I am and can still be used. Such product quality is not conducive to technological development."
Zhou Jing: "It doesn't matter. Just control the memory and functions. As the software and phone functions of smartphones improve, the requirements for memory and software hardware are getting higher and higher. The user experience of electronic products such as mobile phones is the most important. If you want a better experience and more functions, you have to buy a new phone. In short, we must continue to innovate in technology."
Bai Xiyao: "Very insightful."
Zhou Jing: "Of course we can save money where it is necessary, but we must not save money where it is not necessary. We should choose the right materials according to the price range."
Bai Xiyao: "I understand."
After talking about Tangdu Company's affairs and hanging up the phone, Zhou Jing quickly dealt with the affairs of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd.
Without having time to rest, Zhou Jing went to the hospital at around 2:00 p.m. and took a detour to a maternity and baby store to buy some clothes for the newborn girl. Since he was not sure whether it was a son or a daughter, he only bought a few unisex clothes.
After parking the car outside the hospital, Zhou Jing went to the fruit shop to buy some fruit.
"The hospital is fine. Xiao Zhou doesn't need to come so early."
Mother Gu said as she looked at her son-in-law who had returned to the hospital.
"There's nothing to do at home." Zhou Jing put his things on the table, took out the new clothes he bought for his daughter and said, "Do you want to wash them before giving them to the child?"
"Then wash it, you have a good eye."
Gu Jia picked up the clothes, smelled them and said.
"How much milk did the child eat at noon?"
The child was sleeping, and Zhou Jing peeled an orange for Gu Jia to eat.
"He has a good appetite, but I didn't let him eat too much. I fed him a little more often each time."
Gu Jia looked at her daughter. The little girl became more and more adorable as the wrinkles disappeared.
