Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

When Auntie Yang Suhua and five other women carried Lou Xiaoe to the gate of the courtyard with a blanket, Auntie Wang had already borrowed a cart from the courtyard next door and was waiting at the gate. Su Xiulian quickly spread the blanket she was holding on the cart, and Yang Suhua and others carefully put Lou Xiaoe on the cart.

Yang Suhua went on to say: "I'll pull the cart in front, and you guys push it from the back. If I run out of energy, you'll take over." After saying that, Yang Suhua put the rope around his shoulders, pressed the handlebars of the cart, and quickly pulled the cart towards Chengnan Hexie Hospital.

When He Yuzhu arrived at the gate of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, he saw the second aunt standing anxiously outside the gate. He Yuzhu rode his bicycle to the second aunt and asked anxiously, "Second aunt, how is Xiao'e?"

The second auntie immediately relaxed when she saw He Yuzhui. "Zhuzi, you are finally out. I came to inform you because your auntie said your wife is about to give birth, so I hurried to the steel mill to find you. Now I guess the third auntie and the others have sent your wife to Hexie Hospital. You should go to Hexie Hospital as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Second Aunt. Thank you for the trip. You can go back to the courtyard first. I'll go to Union Hospital right away." After saying that, He Yuzhu got on his bicycle and rushed to Union Hospital. Because he was worried about Lou Xiao'e's condition, He Yuzhu pedaled with all his strength until smoke came out of the pedals. The 10-inch bicycle made He Yuzhu feel like he was riding at lightning speed. It took He Yuzhu less than minutes to get from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill to Union Hospital.

After asking the nurse how to get to the obstetrics and gynecology department, He Yuzhu ran all the way to the door of the obstetrics and gynecology department. When He Yuzhu arrived at the door of the obstetrics and gynecology department, he found Su Xiulian and the people who sent Lou Xiao'e to Hexie Hospital waiting at the door of the obstetrics and gynecology operating room. He Yuzhu asked, "Aunt, how is Xiao'e now?"

"It's only been a short while since Xiao'e was pushed into the operating room. We don't know what's going on yet."

He Yuzhu could only helplessly clench his fists as he listened to Lou Xiao'e's screams in the house, and prayed in his heart: "Pray that Lou Xiao'e can give birth smoothly." After praying, He Yuzhu came to the neighbors in the courtyard and said, "Thank you for sending Xiao'e to the hospital today. You worked hard. How did you send Xiao'e to the hospital?"

Aunt Wang said, "I borrowed the cart from next door."

He Yuzhu took out 2 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Aunt Wang, saying, "Aunt Wang, I remember it costs 5 cents to use the cart next door. Here are 2 yuan. It's so hot. You can use the extra money to buy some soda or popsicles on the way back. I'll thank you all when Xiao'e is discharged from the hospital after giving birth and returns to the courtyard."

Aunt Wang happily took the money, put it in her pocket and said with a smile: "Zhuzi, then I won't be polite to you anymore. We're leaving now." When several aunts heard what He Yuzhu said, they all left with a smile.

After leaving the Hexie Hospital and arriving at the place where the hotel booking cart was located, Aunt Wang took out money from her pocket and said, "Hey guys, with the money Zhuzi gave us, should we buy soda or popsicles?"

Auntie Yang Suhua said directly: "I think soda and popsicles don't quench your thirst. It's better to just divide the money and go home to drink boiled water."

When the other aunts heard what the third aunt said, they felt that what she said was right, and they all said, "Well, let's do as the third aunt said, Aunt Wang."

"I think what the three aunts said is a good idea."

Seeing that everyone agreed with Third Aunt Yang Suhua's proposal, Aunt Wang said directly: "When you return the cart, you have to give the owner 5 cents, and there is 1 yuan left. There are six of us, and each person has 5 cents. Who of you has a spare part in your pocket to replace it?"

Several aunties took out the change in their pockets and pooled the money together to finally divide up the 2 yuan. Because Auntie Wang still had to return the cart, she got 7 cents, and everyone else got 5 cents.

After dividing the money, several aunties walked happily on the way back to the courtyard. One of them said, "Zhuzi is so generous. We just sent Xiao'e to the hospital, and each of us got 2 cents, which is almost as much as some people working half a day in the factory. The third auntie said that when Zhuzi's wife is discharged from the hospital after giving birth, what else will Zhuzi say?"

"I can't say for sure. Last time, Aunt Wang and I helped He Yuzhu clean up the kitchen after his wedding. He Yuzhu gave my family two large pots of leftovers, and we ate a whole pot before we finished them. Anyway, Zhu was so generous last time, so he definitely won't be stingy with us this time. He not only treated us to soda and popsicles, but also gave us 2 yuan."

Suddenly, an auntie said, "Oh, we forgot about the second auntie. She went to the steel mill to inform Zhuzi. I wonder if Zhuzi gave her money to buy soda?"

After hearing what the third aunt said, Yang Suhua said directly, "Don't worry about the second aunt. Zhuzi will definitely make arrangements. However, in order to prevent the second aunt from feeling uncomfortable, when you return to the courtyard, you guys must not say in front of the second aunt that Zhuzi treated us to soda."

Several aunts quickly nodded in agreement.

After the aunts left, He Yuzhu looked at Su Xiulian and saw that there were only two quilts and sheets beside her, and nothing else. He said to Su Xiulian, "Aunt, did you bring the clothes for the child?"

After Su Xiulian heard what He Yuzhu said, she suddenly remembered that she was in a hurry to follow Lou Xiao'e to the hospital, and she didn't bring anything prepared for the birth of the child. She said with some annoyance: "If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten. I was in a hurry to send Xiao'e to the hospital, and forgot to bring the baby's things."

"It's okay. Xiao'e hasn't given birth yet, so there's no rush. Aunt, I'll take care of it. Go back and get your things. Take the quilt and other things with you. Call a rickshaw on the way back. It's too slow to go back and forth. By the way, aunt, do you have any money on you?"

"Yes, I used the money you gave me to pay Xiao'e's 20 yuan hospital fee, and the rest has not been touched."

"Then hurry back! Get the child's clothes and come back."

"Zhu Zi, I'll go back and get the child's clothes first." After saying that, Su Xiu Lian walked out.

He Yuzhu stood alone outside the obstetrics and gynecology department, waiting anxiously. After an unknown amount of time, Lou Xiao'e's voice suddenly stopped coming from the room. He Yuzhu hurried to the door, and a nurse came out and said, "Who is Lou Xiao'e's family member?"

"I am Lou Xiao'e's family member, and I am her husband." He Yuzhu said hurriedly.

"Congratulations, you're a father now. Both mother and child are safe. You are so lucky. Your wife gave birth to three sons for you."

"What three sons?" He Yuzhu asked in disbelief.

"Well, three sons, each weighing more than 4 pounds. Because the babies are relatively small, they need to be observed in the hospital for a few more days!" After saying that, the nurse closed the door again and returned to the operating room.

After a while, the nurse pushed Lou Xiao'e out of the operating room. He Yuzhu looked at the sweaty Lou Xiao'e and asked with a distressed look on his face: "Xiao'e, how do you feel?"

"I'm fine. I just feel a little tired and want to rest."

"Then you take a rest, I'll stay here with you." He Yuzhu held Lou Xiao'e's hand.

He Yuzhu followed the nurse and pushed Lou Xiao'e into the ward. Seeing that Lou Xiao'e was already asleep, He Yuzhu whispered, "Nurse, where is my child?"

"Your child is in the ICU, and there are special nurses watching over him. Once the nurse cleans the child, she will be sent back to your wife's ward, and you will be able to see him."

"Thank you for your help. By the way, what's the phone number of your hospital? I want to borrow your phone to call my wife's parents and let them know."

When the nurse heard what He Yuzhu said, she hurriedly said, "There is a phone in our director's office. I'll take you there right away." The nurse knew that not everyone had a phone at home these days.

He Yuzhu followed the nurse to the office of the director of obstetrics and gynecology, and took out his work ID and handed it to the director. "Hello, director, I want to use the phone to call my wife's home."

The director of obstetrics and gynecology took a look at He Yuzhu's work ID and said enthusiastically: "Deputy Director He, please use it as you please. I just need to go out to check on the patients." After that, the director of obstetrics and gynecology walked out of the office. Seeing this, the young nurse hurriedly followed him out.

He Yuzhu saw the two of them go out and picked up the phone to call Lou Xiao'e's home. When the call was answered, Lou Xiao'e's mother's voice came from the receiver, "This is Lou Bingcheng's home. May I ask who you are?"

"Mom, I'm He Yuzhu, Xiao'e is giving birth."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Tan Yali quickly asked, "Xiao He, how is Xiao'e? Is it a boy or a girl?"

"Mom, both mother and child are safe. Xiao'e gave birth to three boys."

"Which hospital did you give birth in? I'll be there right away with Xiao'e's father."

"We are in Hexie Hospital, Ward 1608."

"Okay, I got it." After saying that, Tan Yali put down the phone and ran upstairs happily, saying happily as she ran, "Old Lou, Xiao'e gave birth to three boys. Please ask the driver to drive us to the Hexie Hospital."

Lou Bancheng hurried out of the study upon hearing this, "Really? Is Xiao'e okay?"

"Well, Xiao He just called from Hexie Hospital and said both mother and child are safe."

"Then I'll ask the driver to take us to Hexie Hospital."

He Yuzhu put down the phone and walked out of the director's office. He saw the director and the nurse waiting for him at the door, so he said, "Thank you, Director. I'm sorry for interrupting your work."

"It's okay, Deputy Director He, are you done with your call?"

"Well, then I will go back to take care of my wife and not delay your work." After saying that, He Yuzhu turned and walked towards Lou Xiao'e's ward.

After He Yuzhu left, the director of obstetrics and gynecology took the nurse back to the office and said to the nurse, "You must take care of the family of the person who called just now."

"Okay, Director. Director, I just heard you call him Deputy Director He. He is so young and already a deputy director?" the young nurse asked curiously.

"Well, don't worry about so many useless things. What you should worry about is taking good care of the patients."

"I understand, Director. I'll go back to the nurses' station now." After saying this, the young nurse hurriedly left the director's office of obstetrics and gynecology.

He Yuzhu returned to the ward and found Lou Xiao'e still sleeping, so he found a chair and sat beside her bed. While He Yuzhu was in a daze, a nurse came to Lou Xiao'e's ward with a cart. Seeing He Yuzhu beside her bed, the nurse said, "Lou Xiao'e's husband, this is your child."

He Yuzhu hurried to the front of the car and looked at the three little ones sleeping with their eyes closed. He Yuzhu suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart. Perhaps this was the legendary feeling of blood connection.

"Nurse, what should we do with these three children? It seems like there won't be enough space for all of them in my wife's hospital bed!"

The nurse looked at Lou Xiao'e's bed and said, "Then I'll leave this cart here for you to use."

"Okay, thank you, nurse. By the way, nurse, what if the child gets hungry later? Do you have any milk powder?"

"If the child is hungry, let your wife feed him. If there is really no milk, come to the nurse station to find us."

"Okay, I get it."

The nurse looked at Lou Xiao'e again, found nothing unusual, and turned to leave Lou Xiao'e's ward.

He Yuzhu carefully pushed the stroller to Lou Xiao'e's bed. Nowadays, most families give birth at home with the help of a midwife. Lou Xiao'e was the only one in the ward. He Yuzhu looked at the three little ones with a kind face.

Suddenly, the door of the ward was pushed open from the outside, and Su Xiulian came in carrying a large bag. As soon as Su Xiulian entered the ward, she smiled and said, "Zhuzi, I heard from the nurse that Xiao'e gave birth to three boys. You are so lucky."
