Xing Zhibin arrived, and these few people stepped back a few steps. They felt guilty.
"Red Army, what’s going on?" Xing Zhibin asked.
"Uncle Xing, we delivered waterlons to the supply and marketing cooperative today, and with what was left, we ca to the train station to sell. When we finished selling, these guys surrounded us.
We showed them the permits, which said nothing about selling at the train station. I said it didn’t say we couldn’t sell at the train station either. They wanted to arrest us and take us back.
Bah, those brats from Tangjiazhuang still dream of sitting in our tractor? Dream on. Even if you were crushed to pieces, you couldn’t pay for it."
Xing Zhibin turned his head to look at Tang Jianjun. He looked at the sneaky young man, "Is that the situation?"
"They... they weren’t cooperating with work."
"What is your work?"
No one among the eight spoke at this mont.
Xing Zhibin turned his head to look at Red Army, "Why are you holding the crank?"
"We wanted to go back with them, but such a valuable tractor can’t be left here. I pleaded to drive the tractor over, but that bastard didn’t let , and then wanted to sit in our vehicle?"
Xing Zhibin sighed; he’s still a kid, although having a point, now it’s hard to say.
Secretary Wu patted Red Army’s shoulder. "Alright, it’s okay, it was all a misunderstanding." Secretary Wu was afraid Red Army would say sothing else, so he gave him a heavy pat.
"Your Aunt Lu received the news and, with a big belly, went to find your Dad. Maybe she was frightened and asked us to co see you; she herself went to the hospital. Your Uncle Xing and your Dad were in a eting, so we ca over, and your Dad went to the hospital to find your Aunt Lu."
Hearing these words, Red Army’s eyes turned red. "Uncle Xing, is there anything else? I need to go to the hospital."
"Red Army, you go to the hospital. I’ll stay here." Li Yunqiang was also frightened by Secretary Wu’s words; his sister-in-law was about to give birth.
It was evident from his brother’s actions how much he cared about this sister-in-law. If anything happened to her, it would be troubleso.
It’s past three in the afternoon, and everyone is tired, hungry, and thirsty. But this matter must be resolved.
"Red Army, go to the hospital first, and then co find at my place."
He turned to look at the eight, "You should all go back too."
Red Army didn’t even care about the tractor anymore and just ran off. The youngster was so fast, and in a hurry, he vanished in no ti.
"Comrade, I’ll drive the tractor and go with you."
"Alright, you’ll be behind ."
Xing Zhibin and Secretary Wu got in the truck. "This matter is difficult, and the impact isn’t good. Even though these eight were wrong, it’s hard to say with Red Army acting like this."
Secretary Wu nodded, thinking the sa thing. However, he didn’t think it was a big deal.
Red Army ran all the way to the hospital, panting, asking which ward the woman who had co to give birth was in.
"Just around the corner," the young nurse told him.
Red Army rushed to the ward, seeing Aunt Lu lying in bed groaning, with a doctor beside her. Dad was also standing nearby.
Li Yunqiao heard the commotion, turned around, and saw his son. Seeing he was fine, he felt relieved.
He quickly ca out, "Red Army, you being fine is a relief, don’t worry, it’s okay." The son was still young, and Li Yunqiao feared he might be scared.
"Dad, how is Aunt Lu?"
"The doctor is checking. Aunt Lu is about to give birth.
Red Army, my bicycle is outside. Ride ho; your aunt has gone to bring things; you go to pick them up."
Red Army nodded, took the keys, and ran off.
Li Yunqiao didn’t want his son to see this scene, especially since it’s not his biological mother giving birth.
"Co on, let’s head to the delivery room. But the patient should eat sothing."
"Doctor, soone has gone to get it."
"There’s a cafeteria here, let’s send her to the delivery room first, let her wait at the door, and then see what’s available in the cafeteria for her."
"Doctor, I want to eat in the ward."
"Alright, eat first and then go to the delivery room."
Red Army pedaled the bicycle like mad and t Wang Wugu halfway.
"Red Army, glad you’re okay."
"Auntie, I’m fine. Get on, I’ll take you to the hospital."
When the two arrived at the hospital, Lu Fengzhen was eating noodles.
Wang Wugu, in her rush, didn’t bring any food, luckily the cafeteria had so.
Lu Fengzhen ate, gasping with each bite, the pain was unbearable.
A woman becos stronger when she’s a mother. Despite being exhausted, she knew she needed to eat well to have the strength to give birth soon.
"Aunt Lu."
"Red Army, you’re okay now, you scared . A young girl ran ho to tell you were surrounded at the train station."
"I’m fine." Red Army truly accepted Lu Fengzhen in his heart. Although she’s not his biological mom, she’s so concerned about his safety that she forgets her own.
"Alright, Fengying, eat quickly, you need to head to the delivery room." Li Yunqiao was really worried.
His wife could always make him love her even more.
She forced herself to eat a bowl of noodles, and Li Yunqiao wanted to hold her, but she refused, "I’ll walk myself, it’ll be better for delivery. Aunt, you stay in the ward; the child’s things are here."
"Alright, don’t worry or be afraid; there’s nothing to it. Birth is quite simple, it’ll just hurt a little and then it’s done."
Red Army also ca over to support Lu Fengzhen on the other side. Until she entered the delivery room, Red Army sat on the bench beside it.
Li Yunqiao was very worried. He looked at the ti; it was almost five o’clock. But waiting outside, not knowing what’s happening inside, just made him anxious. So he sat beside his son patiently.
"Red Army, what happened?"
"Dad, it was that Tang Jianjun from Tangjiazhuang, we showed him the permit. But he still wanted to arrest and Uncle.
I couldn’t hold back, and we got into a conflict."
Li Yunqiao patted his son’s shoulder, "It’s alright, it’s alright."
"Dad, Aunt Lu will be okay, right?" If sothing were to happen, he would be very guilty.
"She’s fine, the doctor said she’s fine." Li Yunqiao was worried but still needed to comfort his son.
The father and son waited outside. Red Army knew he should go find Xing Zhibin but didn’t dare go, not because he feared sothing there, but worried about Lu Fengzhen.
After waiting another hour, there was still no movent inside. This ti Li Yunqiao couldn’t sit still, it was already past six, how co nobody ca out yet? Rembering that the four children were born quite swiftly.
Red Army also couldn’t sit still. The father and son stood at the delivery room door waiting.
The village’s Li Yungui was also worried. This had never happened before; those who left in the morning would usually return by afternoon. What happened today? Was it because they couldn’t sell the goods?
That’s the only thought he could have. So he didn’t have dinner, and by seven-thirty, he was really unable to sit still.
"I’m going to find Xiao Wei and head to the city for a visit, why haven’t Red Army and his father co back yet?"
