Chapter 53
Chapter 53
While Ningning was pregnant, it didn’t hinder him from doing anything. So he didn’t feel anything particularly special, just noticing his belly getting bigger and his taste buds becoming a bit strange.
He developed a special liking for spicy food, couldn’t do without it, and could finish a bowl of chili peppers in one meal. Su Fei felt like her mouth was on fire just by looking at it. But Su Fei still indulged him, ordering spicy dishes and chili oil from restaurants if they couldn’t make them well at home, then bringing them back.
Everything revolved around Ningning, and he didn’t have any complaints or desires, feeling content with how life was going.
As his belly grew bigger, and the baby inside started moving, he suddenly felt the presence of the child and realized there was indeed something extra in his belly.
Gradually, he discovered that the baby inside not only put a physical strain on him but also caused his body to swell up. He could only sleep on his side at night and frequently needed to use the restroom.
Fortunately, no matter what Ningning wanted to eat or if he felt unwell, Su Fei always noticed and fulfilled his wishes promptly.
Finally, when the due date arrived, Su Fei took a month off from school. After that, there were two months of winter vacation, so he could take care of Ningning for three months.
Before it was time to give birth, Su Fei took Ningning to the hospital. She felt more at ease knowing how much could be done in a hospital. There was a cafeteria, accommodation, everything was super convenient.
The people in the same ward as Ningning were envious and jealous. They basically entered the hospital when it was time to give birth and went home the next day.
This was considered good, as some families gave birth at home with the help of a midwife.
“Look at what he’s eating? And look at what you’ve brought me!” The other three people in the ward were extremely jealous.
Especially watching Ningning drinking chicken soup and eating chicken, enjoying fine grains and a pile of snacks without interruption.
He could eat whatever he wanted, and since he had arrived, Ningning hadn’t stopped eating delicious food. His face had become round and rosy.
Looking at themselves, pregnant and unable to eat properly while still having to work, their faces turned yellow. It was infuriating to see the women around them, who were in charge at home, couldn’t even have a proper meal.
The women, who were tormented by their own men, all glared angrily at Su Fei. Su Fei was too nervous to notice their gazes now. She was completely on edge, feeling more nervous than Ningning herself, as if she were the one about to give birth.
“Do you want anything else? By the way, there are some fruits from the south in the market recently. I’ll go buy some for you, lychee, durian…” After clearing away Ningning’s bowl and chopsticks and washing them in the sink, Su Fei couldn’t sit still.
Ningning didn’t care about the other people’s stares. Besides, even if they looked, they couldn’t eat them. Ningning knew that the money Su Fei spent on buying fruit for him came from her own earnings.
“Then buy a pound of lychee. I want to taste what it feels like to be a princess.” Ningning was knitting a little sweater with yarn in his hands, then ordered Su Fei while working.
With a joyful face, Su Fei went out to spend money. Ningning’s good appetite and drinks indicated he was in good health. “Do you want me to bring you some beef jerky or something? Do you want any desserts, or should I buy some cream cakes for you from the department store?”
“Don’t buy cream cakes. I can’t control myself. Buy some cooked food for dinner, and don’t forget to buy some dry goods. Also, buy some more snacks. That way, when I get hungry later, I can eat them directly.” Ningning thought for a moment and said. Although he was from the countryside, he knew that health was the most important thing. Money wasn’t for saving, it was for spending.
“Okay, trust me. If you have any problems, just call the nurse. I’ll be back as soon as I can! Don’t worry.” Su Fei quickly instructed. Then, reluctantly, as if parting forever, she walked away, turning back three times before leaving.
Ningning, supporting his large belly, slowly got up and went to the toilet. When he came back, he found that his bed had been occupied by other people.
It was the families of the other patients. When they saw him return, they quickly vacated Ningning’s bed. However, there were still some people who didn’t have eyes, continuing to stand in Ningning’s spot.
“I’m really sorry, there are too many people here, so I’ll sit in your spot for a while. Thank you so much.” The man who had just spoken about his wife quickly apologized. His family members couldn’t get up after hearing this.
Ningning, coming from the countryside, couldn’t be easily subdued, and he wasn’t a person with a good temper.
“Fine, how much you pay me depends on how long you want to occupy the bed. I’ll go to the neighboring ward to get another bed, and you’ll pay for the bed fee of this one. Sit up, it’s yours now. I’ll call the nurse. Since you’re paying for it yourselves, you can sit as long as you want and do whatever you want.” Ningning said bluntly, then turned and left.
The man who had just spoken was sitting on the bed, his face immediately darkened. He didn’t know what to say.
The other people quickly stood up and politely pulled Ningning back. Ningning wasn’t unreasonable. If they had asked politely, Ningning thought he would have been reasonable and wouldn’t have said anything. But if you tried to play tricks with him, sorry, he wouldn’t oblige.
Ningning valued his health and the child in his belly. He stood steadily on the ground, slowly sat on the bed, took out a comic book from the nearby cabinet – alright, it was a comic book. He also took out some teething snacks and began to pass the time.
The snacks Su Fei prepared for Ningning included jerky and other things that wouldn’t make him gain too much weight. But the fragrance was irresistible.
As a result, the children who came along began to drool. They kept sniffing the air, one kind of snack, two kinds of snack, three kinds of snack… Then they looked at Ningning with eager eyes. Ningning remained unmoved; he knew what it meant to do a thankless job.
The family continued to chat nearby, and after a while, people began to leave. They couldn’t stay here for too long. Everyone had jobs to attend to, and visiting was just a formality.
After waiting for a while, Ningning felt a little sleepy, so he fell asleep on his own. As he slept, he broke into a cold sweat, feeling his belly ache in waves.
Su Fei returned to find Ningning already asleep and neatly put away everything she brought. She quickly soaked the fruits in water. Then she took out her notebook and began to jot down her inspirations. Recently, her love for Ningning felt like it was about to burst, so she had to record it and start working on her new novel.
Su Fei watched Ningning lovingly, but seeing him grow pale and sweat profusely. She quickly took out a towel to wipe his face.
The other pregnant man in the room were speechless. Thinking about how their wives went back to work immediately after giving birth, and then looking at Su Fei, who was always by Ningning’s side, they felt it was unfair. This was life, but the worst part was that the man wasn’t even good-looking enough.
In his dreams, Ningning felt his belly continuously sinking and aching in waves. But he kept his eyes closed, unwilling to wake up.
Su Fei kept wiping his sweat, once, twice, very patiently. Seeing this, the other three man in the room decided to overturn the pot of dog food.
When a nurse came to check on them later, Su Fei quickly explained the situation. The nurse felt the wetness on the bed and knew it was time to give birth. She quickly informed the obstetrician.
Su Fei was at a loss, not knowing what to do. The nurse calmly told her not to wake Ningning up now; they didn’t know when he would give birth. It was better to let Ningning sleep now and not disturb him.
Su Fei finally calmed down, but her face had turned pale. She sat down, feeling helpless.
After a while, the doctor rushed over and woke Ningning up, urging him to go to the delivery room quickly. Ningning didn’t shout loudly inside, but even an occasional sound made Su Fei’s heart skip a beat. Her eyes were red, and she couldn’t help but cry.
Su Fei cried outside the room, causing others to shake their heads. They thought it was unbelievable that a grown woman would cry! Didn’t women know that crying didn’t solve anything?
Inside the room, Ningning, because the child was too large, hadn’t given birth for a long time. Later, when he had no strength left, he thought he was going to die in the delivery room. His wife, his child, they would all belong to someone else, and someone else would marry Su Fei and raise his child!
Thinking like this, Ningning suddenly felt a surge of energy. He wouldn’t let anyone take his place. For his wife, for his child, he had to be safe!
With one last effort, the child was born. After giving birth, Ningning suddenly felt full of energy, feeling like he could give birth to ten more. And the child he gave birth to became a spectacle in the entire hospital – an eight-pound chubby girl!! In this era, it could be said to be extremely lucky!
Outside the delivery room, Su Fei, hearing the cry of the child, couldn’t contain her excitement and began to cry too!
Ningning, on the other hand, felt dizzy and fainted.
Su Fei, with red eyes, began to do what she should do. She quickly wrote to her teachers and friends, asking them to come and see her chubby daughter, an eight-pound chubby daughter, which was really rare. The key was that her daughter was so chubby that her eyes couldn’t be seen – she was really ugly.
When Ningning woke up, the nickname “Chubby Girl” had spread throughout the entire hospital. And his bed became known as the best feng shui spot! Countless people were waiting to take over his place.
