After Bordeaux Farm officially began operations, Wang Xiaoqiang entrusted the full responsibility of the farm to Jiang Xiaoxin. His family called to tell him that Xia Guifang was nearing childbirth, and Wang Kuishan hoped Wang Xiaoqiang could return ho. After all, Wang Xiaoqiang and Xia Guifang weren't officially married, and they couldn't obtain docunts like birth permits. Without a birth permit, they wouldn't be able to receive farmland in the future.
Wang Xiaoqiang hadn't expected his parents to still be concerned about that acre of land. He imdiately retorted over the phone, "Dad, do you hope that your grandson grows up to farm the land, facing the loess and having his back to the sky like you?"
"No, no, that's not what I ant. How could my grandson farm the land like ? He will surely go to university and beco a civil servant in the future..."
Wang Xiaoqiang couldn't help but give a bitter smile upon hearing this. His father's ntality had not improved much, after all. No longer farming, he had now switched to the idea of his grandson becoming a civil servant. His father probably thought being a civil servant was prestigious, not fully aware of their inco levels.
"Dad, I'll fly back tomorrow. How could I not return when my son is being born? Besides, whatever docunts you want, I've got them all taken care of..." said Wang Xiaoqiang.
"What? You're flying back? How can you fly, you don't have wings..."
"Dad, I an I'm taking a plane back ho," Wang Xiaoqiang explained, realizing that he couldn't leave out any details when speaking with his father, as doing so might lead to misunderstandings.
"Er, well, be careful on your way then..."
After explaining the farm's affairs to Jiang Xiaoxin, he then told Little Bai not to follow him back, but to stay at Bordeaux Farm to protect clever Jiang Xiaoxin.
Little Bai was reluctant but did not dare to disobey.
Wang Xiaoqiang flew back to the provincial capital and took a taxi directly ho. Upon arriving, he went straight to the villa.
Xia Guifang's belly was already huge, and she was extrely inconvenient in her movents. Both her mother and Wang Xiaoqiang's mother were taking care of her at the villa.
Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang return ho in ti for the birth of their child, Xia Guifang also felt happiness and comfort.
One could say that Xia Guifang was the luckiest pregnant woman in the world. Since she conceived, there had been no nausea, pain, or swelling. Apart from so heaviness in her belly, she hadn't experienced any discomfort at all, because every ti Wang Xiaoqiang returned ho, he would use Spiritual Energy to help her maintain the pregnancy, which was more effective than any prenatal dication.
With the birth imminent, Wang Xiaoqiang and Xia Guifang discussed where to have the baby. Xia Guifang suggested a hospital in the county because it was closer and wouldn't be too stressful on the road.
But Wang Xiaoqiang disagreed. He decided to go to People's First Hospital in the provincial capital. In the capital city, he had two Riverside Villas, where Xia Guifang and the baby could stay after giving birth.
Of course, the most important thing at the mont was to contact the hospital to reserve a VIP birth room.
In today's society, having money makes things easy. Soon, Wang Xiaoqiang had reserved a birth room in the First People's Hospital of the province. Then, he drove Xia Guifang and her mother, along with his own mother, there.
The VIP birth room Wang Xiaoqiang booked was the largest one in People's First Hospital. It contained two beds, a sofa and coffee table by the window, a television, air conditioning, a water heater... it was fully equipped.
When Xia Guifang and her mother, as well as Wang Xiaoqiang's mother, entered the room, they thought they had entered the wrong place. Facing the luxury they'd never seen before, Wang Xiaoqiang's mother felt unnatural, "Little Qiang, is there a mistake here...?"
"Yeah, Little Qiang, is this a birth room?" Xia Guifang's mother also felt astonished. When she gave birth to Xia Guifang, she had been in a hospital as well, but there were four pregnant won squeezed into one room, which was so small that one could hardly turn around.
"No mistake, it's right here," said Wang Xiaoqiang as he carried Xia Guifang straight in and placed her on a large bed.
The two elderly won also entered the room. It was spacious and luxurious, lacking the typical pungent sll of ordinary birth rooms, and it was filled with a light fragrance, giving off a refreshing feeling.
"Gee, this isn't a birth room; it's like a high-class hotel!" said Wang Xiaoqiang's mother, admiring the television and air conditioning in the birth room.
"There's even better to co..." said Wang Xiaoqiang, as two young won walked in and asked at the door, "Excuse , but is the owner of this birth room surnad Wang, called Wang Xiaoqiang?"
"Yes, that's . You two must be the nurses from Loving Care Ho Services, right?" Wang Xiaoqiang beckoned the two won inside.
Seeing that they had co to the right person, the two won entered the birth room. The woman who appeared to be in her thirties smiled at Wang Xiaoqiang and said, "Yes, Mr. Wang, we are from Loving Care Ho Services. My na is Juping, and she is Little Li. Our company has assigned both of us here to provide care. Just tell us what you need, and we'll take care of it... We offer comprehensive services..."
"Well, you two won't have much to do on a regular basis, just to look after my wife. You will be in charge of washing her clothes, and when the baby is born, you will be responsible for taking care of them..."
"Excuse , is the only pregnant woman in this room your wife?" asked Juping, sowhat surprised. Typically, they provided one-on-one postpartum care, but she was perplexed that the company had sent both of them together today. She had initially thought there would be two pregnant won sharing the room, only to find just one.
Postpartum care cost a substantial amount per day, and hiring two caregivers was indeed uncommon.
These two won, seeing the young Wang Xiaoqiang, and noting the two elder ladies who didn't seem to have the air of wealthy individuals, were puzzled.
"Yes, is there a problem?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked.
"No, no, you're very generous, boss. Your wife is truly fortunate..." complinted the two won.
"Uh, thank you," Wang Xiaoqiang said, "It's too late today, you can co back tomorrow,"
The two won imdiately responded and then left the ward.
After the two won had left, Xia Guifang's mother asked, "Little Qiang, what are those two won for?"
Wang Xiaoqiang said, "I hired them to take special care of Little Fang…"
"What are we two old won here for then? We ca here to take care of Little Fang, what need is there for them? Aren't you just wasting money?"
"Yes, Little Qiang, you really know how to waste money," the mother also complained.
Seeing the two older people complaining to Wang Xiaoqiang, Xia Guifang said, "Mom, since they've been hired, please don't complain and make Little Qiang uncomfortable…"
Only then did the two older people shut their mouths.
Xia Guifang had never in her life imagined that when the day ca for her to have a child, she would enjoy such treatnt, even having people to serve her. However, none of that seed to matter compared to having Wang Xiaoqiang by her side. She felt that as long as Wang Xiaoqiang was with her, even giving birth in the small house at ho, it would be happiness.
Now she understood that a man having too much business can be a good thing but also a bad thing. The good thing is that it can bring a woman the most favorable conditions, but the bad thing is that he cannot always be by her side. Wang Xiaoqiang being by her side despite his busy schedule made her feel both happy and guilty, fearing she might hinder his career.
Two days later, accompanied by a loud and strong cry, Xia Guifang gave birth. The voice of a female doctor rang out in the delivery room... "Congratulations, it's a boy!"
"Ah, my little grandson, you were so long-awaited…"
"My grandson, I have a grandson now…"
There were no males in Xia family's current generation, so Xia Guifang was the hope of the Xia family, and her child was, of course, highly valued by Xia Guifang's mother.
After crying a couple of tis, the little guy was soothed by the two older people and even cracked a smile. It's often said newborns can be quite ugly, but he didn't look ugly at all; he looked a lot like Wang Xiaoqiang with a mischievous grin, though his skin was a bit like Xia Guifang, very fair. He should grow up to be handso.
"Wow, incredible, nine and a half pounds…"
The little guy was born weighing nine and a half pounds, and really, there was no need to weigh him; his plump little face made it clear he was not thin. Hearing the complint, it was as if the little guy knew they were praising him, so he grinned even more happily!
"Little Fang, you've worked hard! Thank you…" Wang Xiaoqiang didn't pay attention to the happily laughing little one; instead, he walked over to Xia Guifang's bed and held her hand, saying so. Seeing her looking sowhat pale, he channeled spiritual energy into her.
"Thank for what…"
"Thank you for giving birth to our child…"
"What are you talking about? He's my child, too. If I don't give birth, could you?" After the infusion of spiritual energy, Xia Guifang's complexion quickly regained its color, and her voice also beca more vibrant.
"Right, right, I can't give birth. If I could, I wouldn't let you suffer like this... sigh," Wang Xiaoqiang sighed. But in his heart, he felt fortunate to be born a man.
"Little Qiang, this is the suffering a woman should endure. Only by experiencing this do we live without regrets in this lifeti... Little Qiang, I am very happy to suffer for you, for our child!" Xia Guifang gripped Wang Xiaoqiang's hand tightly and spoke affectionately.
Wang Xiaoqiang kissed Xia Guifang on the forehead and said, "I'll bring the baby over for you to see…"
Before Wang Xiaoqiang could do so, his mother spoke up, "Little Qiang, co and see your son. Nine and a half pounds, oh…"
Wang Xiaoqiang took the little fellow from his mother's arms and carried him over to Xia Guifang's bedside for her to see.
Xia Guifang looked at her child showing a tender and warm expression. She examined his eyebrows and then compared them to Wang Xiaoqiang's face, "He resembles you but is a bit fairer…"
"Hmm," Wang Xiaoqiang agreed, "In a couple of years, you can give a daughter…"
"Do you see as a baby-making machine?" Xia Guifang expressed her displeasure.
"Having a son and a daughter would feel complete..." Wang Xiaoqiang said earnestly.
"Alright, then I'll bear you one." Xia Guifang quickly changed her attitude.
After staying in the hospital for a week without any issues for mother and child, Xia Guifang asked to be discharged. Wang Xiaoqiang, knowing that with the nourishnt of spiritual energy they should both be fine, took them out of the hospital and brought them to the Riverside Villa, where the house had everything. Of course, the two older people also moved in. For the sake of the child, they would have to get used to living there no matter what.
At the strong insistence of the two elderlies, Wang Xiaoqiang dismissed the two maternity nurses. Xia Guifang said she didn't want strangers holding the baby, feeling it wasn't safe. Xia Guifang also reminded Wang Xiaoqiang not to worry about her anymore; he should focus on his career. (To be continued.
