"Okay, I’ll go early then."
Perhaps it’s a mother-daughter connection, but the closer Gu Jia Ning’s due date approached, the more anxious Yao Chunhua beca.
She was always worried that Ningning might deliver early, and she would be too far away at ho to help.
She knew that Sheng Zexi and Grandma Sang were there.
But no matter who was there, how could she not feel at ease being there herself?
So, she had indeed been quite restless these past few days.
Unexpectedly, Yang Manman and the others noticed, and even suggested this idea.
Yao Chunhua was not soone to be coy, and seeing that Yang Manman’s situation was good, she agreed.
"Then, Mother, pack your luggage, and tomorrow I’ll take you to the train," Gu Yunting said.
"Ah, don’t we need to buy tickets first?" Yao Chunhua asked.
Gu Yunting and Yang Manman exchanged a glance and smiled, "Mother, I’ve already booked the train ticket for you today. It’s a sleeper ticket for tomorrow morning."
Yao Chunhua suddenly realized, surely this couple had already made the decision, confident she would agree.
"You two," Yao Chunhua smiled, playfully blaming them.
That night, while Yao Chunhua was packing, Old Gu also helped, but as he packed, his eyes reddened.
"Old man, why are you crying?" Yao Chunhua was startled.
"Not crying," Old Gu wiped the corner of his eye, but his voice was inexplicably aggrieved, "I’m just envious you can go to the Northwest Military Region to see our daughter."
Old Gu: I want to see our daughter too.
Yao Chunhua sighed, understanding his desire to see their daughter.
She patted her old man’s shoulder and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll look on your behalf too."
Old Gu: How is that the sa?
Whether it’s the sa or not, Old Gu couldn’t go along anyway.
Not to ntion that Huaihua Village needed him as the village head, Gu Jia Ning’s ho in the Northwest Military Region couldn’t accommodate so many people.
Besides, having the mother take care of the daughter’s confinent is appropriate; having the father do so feels rather strange.
"When you arrive, rember to tell our daughter that I miss her."
"Of course, I know."
"Tell her to take good care of her health, even after giving birth, she’s still the most important."
Even though Old Gu also cherished his grandson, nothing could compare to their daughter.
It could be said that their daughter Gu Jia Ning was the apple of their eyes.
"Ah, we shouldn’t have let her marry so far away and follow the army in the Northwest. It’s so tough."
"What can you do, she’s been married for a year now, and our grandson is about to be born."
Old Gu: ...
"Moreover, A Xi is a good man, and his grandparents treat our Ningning well too. I think our Ningning is doing pretty well now, you wouldn’t believe how many people envy her."
"Ah, I just feel that if Ningning had married closer, whatever happened, we and her three brothers could take care of her. If Ningning was bullied, we could go over imdiately to demand justice."
While folding clothes, Yao Chunhua replied with a smile, "We can still do that now. If Ningning is bullied, even if it’s in the Northwest, even across a country, we can still go demand justice for her."
Old Gu suddenly saw the light, "True."
In fact, that’s exactly what they did.
In their past life, after Gu Jia Ning was made to disappear by Wen Zhqing, they searched the entire country for her.
Later, when they heard news of her, they went to great lengths to reach her.
Wen Zhqing valued their concern and love for Gu Jia Ning, knowing they would go upon hearing news of her, so they orchestrated a car crash for them.
Yao Chunhua and Old Gu genuinely loved their daughter dearly.
That night, while watching his wife pack, Old Gu fretted and gave many instructions.
He also packed a lot of things Gu Jia Ning liked.
By the next day, Yao Chunhua, with all her bags, had boarded the train to the Northwest Military Region...
-
anwhile, Gu Jia Ning didn’t know her mother had already boarded the train to the Northwest Military Region.
These past days, Gu Jia Ning felt a bit odd.
Her appetite wasn’t very good.
It wasn’t until she ate the pickles her mother had sent earlier that she realized she missed her mother’s cooking.
Gu Jia Ning suddenly realized, all these days, although she hadn’t ntioned it, she hadn’t even noticed herself.
But her body had already shown it first.
In this ti, so close to giving birth, she missed her mother, missed her family.
"Ningning, don’t worry, your mother-in-law promised she would co, and she will," Sheng Zexi hugged Gu Jia Ning, gently patting her back to comfort her.
Gu Jia Ning leaned against him, and murmured softly, "Mm."
Perhaps because she missed her family too much, Gu Jia Ning couldn’t sleep that night.
She only fell asleep in the early morning hours.
But once she did, she didn’t sleep for long.
At dawn, Gu Jia Ning was awakened by sharp pains in her belly.
She couldn’t hold it in and whimpered, imdiately alarming Sheng Zexi who had just opened his eyes intending to get up.
"Ningning, what’s wrong?"
"I think it’s ti," Gu Jia Ning said, the mont she woke up, the system’s voice flooded her mind, reminding her she was about to give birth.
"It’s ti?" Sheng Zexi was speechless in shock.
His voice startled Grandma Sang, who had also gotten up to make breakfast.
Grandma Sang hurried to their door, "What’s going on?"
Sheng Zexi quickly opened the door, "Grandma, Ningning is probably going to give birth."
"Going to give birth? Should we go to the hospital now?"
Since they had anticipated this, Grandma Sang was less panicked compared to Sheng Zexi, the soon-to-be father.
So they planned to take Gu Jia Ning to the hospital, as they had prepared everything needed for childbirth a long ti ago.
However, Gu Jia Ning refused, "No rush, I estimate there might be so ti left. Why not eat sothing first?"
"That’s right, you should. I’ll make Ning girl so noodles, you’ll need the strength to give birth." With that, Grandma Sang headed to the kitchen.
She instructed Sheng Zexi to help Gu Jia Ning walk around the room to ease the delivery later.
At that mont, there was a knock on the courtyard gate.
"Oh my, who would co at this ti?" Grandma Sang quickly approached the gate to open it.
Upon opening the gate and seeing the person standing there with bags, Grandma Sang was montarily taken aback.
However, the person imdiately greeted her with "In-law," bringing Grandma Sang back to her senses.
"Oh my, it’s the in-law." Recognizing her, Grandma Sang was instantly delighted, "Quick, quick, co on in, in-law."
