This lady in the white coat is quite good at bragging!

Lu Yang murmured in his heart.

I watched the lady in the white coat enter the delivery room.

He hit Gong Ping’an’s shoulder with his elbow and said, “Where’s the red envelope I asked you to prepare? Have you handed it out?”

The custom of giving red envelopes to midwives after giving birth is a long-standing one.

In the past, midwives would come to homes to deliver babies.

Wait until the pregnant woman gives birth smoothly.

In order to thank the midwife and express their joy at having a new baby in the family, the host family will give a little extra money in addition to the agreed price for the sake of good luck.

In modern society, with the development of medicine, in addition to natural birth, there is also the option of caesarean section. Pregnant women no longer have to go back home to give birth as before. Many pregnant women, even those in rural areas, will choose to give birth in hospitals in the city for safety reasons.

The families of these pregnant women, because they are not familiar with the “midwives” in the hospital, are worried that the “midwives” will not try their best. In the hope that the pregnant women will suffer less in the delivery room, they often give the “midwives” some benefits in private.

Obviously, this is a bad habit, but it is very popular in the market.

As far as Lu Yang knows, in the small county town where he grew up, if the family members don’t give a red envelope to the doctor who delivers the baby in the hospital, they are considered to be an anomaly, and even the family members themselves will feel guilty.

Of course, there are some doctors with high moral integrity. They will politely decline the family members’ kindness, or accept the red envelope and temporarily reassure the family members. However, when the pregnant woman comes out of the delivery room and her belly is ripe, they will take out the red envelope and hand it back to the family members, winning the gratitude and respect of the pregnant woman’s family members.

Lu Yang didn’t know what the situation was in Pengcheng, nor did he know which type this lady in the white coat belonged to.

But it’s better to be prepared anyway.

Gong Ping’an shook his head silently and took out a crumpled envelope from his trouser pocket. The wrinkled envelope was covered with sweat stains, probably because his palms were sweating a lot due to nervousness.

Lu Yang frowned and glanced at him, “Did you not hand it over, or did you hand it over but didn’t receive it?”

There is a huge difference between the two.

Gong Pingan raised his head and glanced at Luoyang, still using his signature style of being frugal with words: “I handed it over.”

To be honest, he is just too cold-tempered, not really introverted, nor does he lack the so-called ability to take action.

really.

Lu Yang nodded, breathed a sigh of relief and said, “It seems that this doctor is also a doctor with good medical ethics.”

With such a female doctor with good medical ethics and exaggerated boasting to perform the caesarean section operation on behalf of Sister Wei Shu, the operation will surely go smoothly.

Lu Yang’s mood improved, and seeing that Gong Ping’an was completely useless, he didn’t want to talk to him anymore and turned to look at the other people in the corridor.

I arrived in such a hurry just now that I forgot to look around. Now I see, wow, there are quite a lot of people.

First, a lot of people came from the company. Among them, there was a girl with a particularly nervous expression. She seemed even more worried about the safety of Sister Wei Shu on the operating table in the delivery room than Gong Pingan, who had a deadpan face.

“Her name is Xiaoyan, right?”

“Yes, Secretary Wei’s secretary. She has been coming to the company and Sister Wei Shu’s home recently. I’ve met her several times before. She is a native of Pengcheng and graduated from Pengcheng University. She is a nice girl. She has worked hard with Sister Wei Shu for the past two years. I think I can train her if I have the chance.”

The secretary is a close friend of the leader and often shares the same fate as the leader.

They do show more concern than others.

Except for this young and beautiful secretary of the president’s office, Lu Yang just glanced at the rest of the company’s people and ignored them, focusing his attention on the last three acquaintances.

Da Jun with a bear-like figure, his petite wife Xiao Xiao, and the eldest daughter of the Qian family with beautiful legs.

Lu Yang was not surprised at all that the three of them rushed to the hospital. After all, apart from Da Jun, Xiaoxiao and this leg expert were all serious college classmates and good friends of Sister Wei Shu.

The eldest daughter of the Qian family liked to wear her hair in a ponytail when she was in school and her clothes were very low-key, which was in line with the image of female college students of that era.

At the beginning, Lu Yang thought she had long legs and a good figure, but what impressed him most were the two vertical ponytails, so he liked to call her the Ponytail Girl behind her back.

Unfortunately, she no longer has a ponytail, and her dress is a little more mature than before, starting to go for an urban luxury style. She wears a slim short white shirt with a slightly open neckline revealing her delicate collarbone, and her cuffs are casually rolled up. The Rolex women’s watch on her wrist is low-key and luxurious, and high-waisted black straight-leg trousers on her lower body, which perfectly outline her legs. She looks like she is about 1 meters tall, and finally wears a pair of black pointed-toe stiletto leather shoes.

If it’s not leg essence, then what is it?
Lu Yang just glanced over and felt that apart from the neck, there were only legs left.

Oh my god, if I could carry these legs on my shoulders…

Lu Yang quickly deleted this obscene and scary thought from his mind.

He walked towards the other person with a smile and asked: “How long have you been here?”

He didn’t ask why I came, but how long I had been here.

So as not to ask questions even though you already know the answer.

Da Jun opened his mouth and was about to speak, but was pulled back by Xiao Xiao beside him. Da Jun’s wife’s eyes were still red, and she said to Lu Yang shyly: “We haven’t been here for long, we just got here too.”

In fact, they had been here for a long time. From the moment Lu Yang and his group came in, and then Lu Yang scolded Gong Ping’an and dragged Gong Ping’an to see a doctor, they had been watching it all the time, but they did not dare to go up and disturb them.

Lu Yang nodded, knowing that this military wife was just taking care of her boss’s feelings, and he didn’t expose her.

He walked over and patted Da Jun on the shoulder: “If Sister Wei Shu gives birth smoothly later, let’s get together in the evening and have a midnight snack together.”

Just a few words made the old brother immediately full of energy.

Da Jun opened his mouth again, showing his big teeth, patted his chest where the hair was exposed and said, “No problem, I won’t come back until I’m drunk tonight.”

After saying that, he grinned proudly at the young wife next to him and raised his eyebrows: Look, we said that this brother would not forget his roots, right?

Lu Yang took care of this brother’s emotions, and then he set his eyes on the leg spirit again: “How is your brother recently?”

Lu Yang hasn’t contacted Xiao Jun for almost half a month since they last met in Sanya, and it’s still unclear whether this guy has crawled out of the mud pit.

The idea has been given to others, but it is hard to say whether they will use it or have the courage to take drastic measures.

Qian Youyou also set her eyes on Lu Yang, looked at him for several times before saying, “We just met and you didn’t even ask about the progress of our collaborative project, but instead only asked about how my brother was doing. Mr. Lu, isn’t that a bit too much?”

She had already seen Yin Mingyue in the distance, and Mrs. Lu was also walking towards them.

After saying this, she smiled faintly and nodded towards Mrs. Lu.

Lu Yang couldn’t help laughing. The Leg Spirit had indeed changed. He became more generous than before and could even joke with his own brother so casually.

Well, it seems that her brother should be doing well recently. She simply followed the other party’s words and said, “My mistake. Let me start over. Miss Qian, how is the progress of our cooperation project now?”

Qian Youyou rolled her eyes at him and ignored him. Instead, she and Yin Mingyue, who was walking over, gave each other a gentle hug.

Then the girl whispered, “Sister-in-law, I have to tell you a secret. Your husband is so pretentious. He used to call me Youyou, but now in front of you, he doesn’t even want to call me Youyou anymore. He calls me Miss Qian instead. Don’t you think this is just hypocrisy?”

Yin Mingyue covered her mouth and laughed.

Holding her hand, he said, “Youyou, don’t pay attention to him. He is just like that. He is more considerate of my feelings outside. Actually, I am not that stingy.”

As she spoke, she rolled her eyes at Lu Yang: “Husband, what do you think?”

What can Lu Yang say?
I don’t believe you at all. You are a very bad woman. He won’t be fooled by you.

The best thing to do at this time is to play dumb and pretend that you heard nothing, so as not to get involved in the war between the two women.

“What is this Qian woman up to?”

“Didn’t this leg guy hate me before? He always thought I was bad and had a corrupt private life. Is he crazy about me this time?”

“Are you deliberately trying to mess with me?”

What Lu Yang was not sure about was Qian Youyou’s attitude. Although the two of them had a good business cooperation before, their personal relationship was just so-so. She was not as good as her brother. There had always been a thorn between the two of them. Although Lu Yang did not really do anything to the two female college students that night, they did take off their clothes, and he did not stop them. He just stood there pretending to be drunk.

Lu Yang usually wouldn’t continue thinking about things he couldn’t figure out. He walked up to Da Jun and started chatting with this buddy.

He patted Da Jun on the shoulder and said, “How are you doing recently? Is your wife pregnant?”

In the past year, Da Jun has not followed him around the country. He stayed in Pengcheng to take care of his wife and brought the old man over. His purpose was to let the old man see his great-grandson before Lu Yang, the second grandfather, died.

According to the doctor, there is no problem for both men and women, it’s just that the man has few sperm and their sperm activity is not high. As for the woman, the vagina and fallopian tubes are a bit narrow, which makes it more difficult for her to get pregnant than for ordinary couples. But there is still a chance, the key is to persist.

I’ve been persisting for nearly two years now, so there should be a result, right?

Da Jun shook his head, looking embarrassed.

Lu Yang widened his eyes and asked, “What’s wrong? You’re not pregnant?”

Da Jun said innocently: “She’s pregnant, how could she not be pregnant?”

Just say it.

Lu Yang just noticed that Xiaoxiao’s belly should be bigger than before. Either she has gained weight, or she is pregnant, so he asked these questions just now.

Seeing that Da Jun admitted that Xiao Xiao was pregnant, he punched him in the chest and scolded him with a smile: “Okay, you’re going to be a father soon, so why did you shake your head when I asked you just now? You even smiled bitterly, what’s the point of your bitter smile!”

Da Jun stole a glance at his wife and saw that she had already started chatting with the eldest brother’s wife and was no longer paying attention to this side. He whispered bitterly: “I am happy, but my grandfather is not happy.”

Lu Yang frowned: Why is Second Grandpa unhappy?

“The baby in your wife’s belly is not yours?”

“roll.”

“Why then?”

“She’s pregnant with a girl. You know my grandfather is an old antique. He wants me to give birth to a boy for the Lu family. If there was no family planning, then it would be a girl. But now that there is family planning, it’s difficult to have a second child after the first one. Wouldn’t that mean he will never see his great-grandson again?”

Lu Yang’s second grandfather does have the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls. The clan concept is strong in the south, and boys are often needed to support the family. The idea of ​​favoring boys over girls is especially prevalent among the common people. If a family has more boys, then basically no one in the village dares to bully them. But if a family has few offspring, or has only daughters and no boys, then they are destined to not be able to hold their heads up in the village.

This concept has been around for a long time, and changing it will not happen overnight.

Lu Yang knew this clearly, so he did not think there was anything wrong with what Da Jun said. He just asked in surprise, “Your Xiaoxiao should have been pregnant for only a few months, right? How can you be sure whether it’s a girl or a boy?”

National law stipulates that hospitals cannot disclose the gender of the fetus to pregnant women or their families during prenatal examinations.

Da Jun pointed to the south and said, “On the other side of the river, boss, you forgot that our company has built an office on the other side. I’ll take Xiaoxiao to the other side for inspection.”

This guy is so naive. I didn’t expect that he would use his position to get away with inspection.

Lu Yang knew very well that hospitals in Hong Kong Island could check the gender of the fetus for pregnant women. Even decades later, this would develop into a gray industrial chain where people would take blood samples from pregnant women in the mainland and send them to hospitals in Hong Kong Island for screening to confirm the gender of the fetus in the pregnant woman’s belly.

Figured out the problem.

Lu Yang patted the other person’s shoulder and said, “It’s okay. Go back and tell Second Grandpa that although the current policy does not allow having a second child, it will be open in the future. If you can’t wait, there is another option. Pay more social maintenance fees. It’s not like you can’t afford it.”

A director named Zhang was able to give birth to seven children in a row before the era of liberalization, by paying more social maintenance fees. Later, he became a hot topic and was reportedly fined 748 million yuan. This is truly beneficial to the country and the people.

Da Jun said naively, “I didn’t think of that. I was thinking of another way. I wanted Xiaoxiao to go to the opposite side to give birth. If she gets pregnant with a second child, she can also go to the opposite side to give birth. Boss, what do you think of this idea?”

Lu Yang laughed loudly and punched him hard: “Talent.”

This method is certainly feasible. The company already has an office in Hong Kong Island. We can send the young couple there directly. They can have as many children as they want and are not allowed to come back until all the children are born.

“How is my second grandfather’s health lately?”

“Same as before, but better than before, mainly because it’s convenient to get medical treatment here. The last time I came to the hospital for a checkup, the doctor said that my grandfather’s body was too exhausted when he was young, and now he relies on willpower to hold on. If his willpower collapses, his body will collapse soon. He asked us to take my grandfather to the hospital for regular checkups.”

Lu Yang nodded: “Then I’ll think of a way to see if I can send the old man to a sanatorium to live for a while. The sanatorium is full of retired veteran cadres, many of whom participated in the revolution. Maybe they can have common topics with the old man.”

“That’s daring.”

Da Jun touched his head in a naive manner and grinned foolishly.

At this moment, there was finally movement in the delivery room at the end of the corridor. The door of the delivery room was opened, and the sound of a baby crying was heard.

“It’s happening, it’s happening.”

“Yes, it’s finally born.”

“It looks like everything will go smoothly. Let’s go and take a look…”

When everyone heard the sound, they no longer had time to chat. They immediately ran over nervously and pushed Gong Pingan to the door of the delivery room. A nurse had already come out holding a swaddle.

“Congratulations to the family, it’s a boy.”
