Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 208: Important mission, the factory sent someone to look for Xu Jichang
Xu Jichang's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively wanted to rush into the delivery room to check.

Still, he restrained himself.

Yu Yingzi also stopped and looked at Xu Jichang with some excitement: "Aunt Gu has given birth..."

Xu Jichang took a deep breath and said nothing, focusing entirely on Gu Zhijun and his daughter who was about to meet him.

The crying in the delivery room kept approaching, and with a "click", the door to the delivery room opened.

An older female nurse walked out of the door, holding a crying baby girl in her arms.

"Congratulations, mother and daughter are safe. They are very healthy children."

The female nurse handed the child to Xu Jichang and said with a smile.

Xu Jichang didn't react at first. It wasn't until the child was stuffed into his arms that he reached out and hugged her.

Now you're going to be a dad?

Xu Jichang looked at his daughter's wrinkled and red face in her infancy, and his heart was full of novelty and surprise.

But before he could sigh, his attention was drawn away.

The delivery bed carrying Gu Zhijun was pushed out from the door by the doctors and nurses. Xu Jichang saw that her face was pale and her face was covered with sweat.

When a woman is over 30, it is more difficult to give birth to a child, and it is much more strenuous than the little girls giving birth.

Xu Jichang thought of this feeling of distress, and when the delivery bed passed by him, he held Gu Zhijun's hand: "Thank you for your hard work."

Gu Zhijun felt her hand being held by a big hand. She opened her eyes and looked at Xu Jichang, with a forced smile on her lips: "It's okay..."

"You are a great hero, let's talk about it after we go back."

Xu Jichang could hear the 12 points of weakness in her voice, so he let go of his hand and quickly returned to the delivery room along with the delivery bed that was being pushed away.

Yu Yingzi followed closely behind him, her curious eyes always falling on the infant girl.

Back in the delivery room, Gu Zhijun, with the support of the nurse, reluctantly held her hand on the bed.

Xu Jichang handed his infant daughter to her: "Our child."

Gu Zhijun's eyes always followed her daughter. When her daughter was handed over, she immediately carefully held her in her arms, her eyes full of love.

"Wow wow wow..."

At this time, the child once again let out a clear and loud cry.

Gu Zhijun immediately unbuttoned her clothes and started breastfeeding her daughter...

……

After drinking the milk, their daughter fell into a deep sleep, and Gu Zhijun discussed what to name the child.

"You've worked hard too. Let's get some sleep first."

Xu Jichang shook his head and said, "Although the name matter is important, it's not too late to get up later."

"Um……"

Gu Zhijun nodded weakly and gently, listened to Xu Jichang's words and lay down to sleep.

The daughter was wrapped in swaddling clothes and placed next to Gu Zhijun, and fell asleep quietly.

"Kids are so cute."

Next to Xu Jichang, Yu Yingzi lowered her voice, looked at the child with a voice full of affection and said, "The nose is like yours, tall and straight."

"Can't that be cute?"

Xu Jichang looked proud and said in the same low voice, "This is the child Zhijun gave birth to for me."

"By the way, remember to come up with an idea when choosing a name later?"

"I?"

Yu Yingzi was full of confusion.

"Of course."

Xu Jichang said without any doubt, "The children will have to call you aunt in the future."

"Too……"

Yu Yingzi felt that what Xu Jichang said was reasonable, but soon she realized something was wrong, "I called Aunt Gu, and the child called me Auntie."

"Isn't it a mess..."

Xu Jichang has obviously already thought about this problem: "Change your words and call Zhijun sister."

Yu Yingzi shook her head, feeling that this plan was not very appropriate.

After all, Gu Zhijun is his mother's classmate. How can he call her sister?

But she thought about it and found that there was no more suitable answer than this, so she finally had to agree: "Oh, it's all your fault..."

Xu Jichang understood what Yu Yingzi was blaming him for, and wanted to hold her in his arms to comfort her.

But there were other mothers in the delivery room, so he could only forget it.

Gu Zhijun didn't sleep for long, and woke up within an hour.

"Are you hungry? I'll bring you some food."

Xu Jichang stood up and picked up the lunch box he brought this time from the bedside, preparing to go outside.

These days, state-owned hotels do not provide take-out services, and there are no plastic bags or plastic bowls. If you want to take out take-out, you have to bring your own tableware.

Gu Zhijun didn't want Xu Jichang to run up and down, and planned to say that she wasn't hungry, but before she could say anything, Xu Jichang had already reached the door of the ward.

These days, unlike in later generations, most hospitals will have many hotels and restaurants next to them. After all, everyone is poor now. They basically bring their own dry food to the hospital, unlike in later generations who are reluctant to go out to eat at every turn.

Xu Jichang walked for more than a mile before he found a restaurant and came back with three portions of rice and two dishes.

The two dishes are chicken soup and eggplant roast pork. The chicken soup is specially for Gu Zhijun.

"Drink, I bought it specially for you to drink."

"Drink more to help you produce milk."

Back in the delivery room, Xu Jichang put the food on the bedside, picked up some vegetables and a bowl of soup for Gu Zhijun, and brought it to her.

"Um……"

Gu Zhijun felt Xu Jichang's thoughtfulness, and felt warm in her heart. She took the chicken soup with her hands and drank it.

Not many people in this era can care about their wives so much.

Even if many wives are pregnant and have children, they may not be able to eat a bite of meat, let alone the specially provided chicken soup.

Many women in the production team have to work in the fields even after giving birth.

After Gu Zhijun finished drinking the chicken soup, Xu Jichang took the empty bowl, and Yu Yingzi put some meat in her rice bowl and served the food.

It wasn't until Gu Zhijun started eating that Xu Jichang and she started eating their own meals.

Halfway through the meal, the child woke up and started crying. Yu Yingzi quickly put down her rice bowl and took it from Gu Zhijun's hand to facilitate her feeding.

During the entire breastfeeding process, Xu Jichang witnessed his daughter's belly bulging little by little, and did not stop until she finally couldn't drink anymore.

A newborn baby basically eats and sleeps, and sleeps and eats.She fell asleep shortly after finishing feeding.

Xu Jichang stared at his daughter with loving eyes throughout the whole process, until she fell asleep and even forgot to eat.

"What should our daughter be called?"

After Gu Zhijun finished feeding, she was not in a hurry to continue eating, but looked at Xu Jichang with a smile.

"Call it kapok."

Xu Jichang had already prepared.

As early as the moment Gu Zhijun became pregnant, he had been thinking about what to name the child, and he settled on the name after much thought.

He hopes that his daughter can bloom as gorgeously as the kapok in the South and become the most dazzling scenery in summer.

However, Gu Zhijun and Yu Yingzi didn't quite understand this name.

"Kapok, is it a kind of cotton..."

Gu Zhijun said in confusion.

Yu Yingzi also looked at him very curiously.

"It's not cotton, it's a kind of flower from Guangzhou. It's particularly beautiful when it's in full bloom."

Xu Jichang explained, "How beautiful is it? Others say that when this flower is in full bloom, it is as beautiful as a flame."

"As beautiful as flames? Then call her this name." Gu Zhijun said happily after hearing this, "I hope our daughter will be beautiful and radiant all her life."

"Ah."

Xu Jichang lowered his voice and said, "By the way, the child will have your last name."

Gu Zhijun nodded knowingly: "Okay. But when the time comes, you still have to change."

Yu Yingzi didn't pay much attention to the conversation between the two. Her attention was always immersed in the name of the newborn.

Kapok, Xu kapok...

This name is really nice.

……

At noon the next day, Xu Jichang held the child in the ward for a long time, and finally left reluctantly.

"Don't miss dad. We'll see you when we get back in two days."

Before leaving, Xu Jichang stood in the delivery room and said to his daughter in his arms, regardless of whether she could understand or not.

But to his delight, little Kapok seemed to really understand.

I saw that she was drowsy with her eyes slightly closed, but now she opened her eyelids, her eyes became extremely clear and translucent, and a cute smile appeared on her face.

Xu Jichang was slightly surprised: Isn't it said that children cannot smile when they are just born?
My daughter will smile the next day, is she a genius?

Xu Jichang raised his lips to the daughter in his arms and kept thinking in his heart.

Like all parents, he sees his daughter through a filter.

If his daughter behaves a little differently from other children, he will think that this is proof of her extraordinary talent.

"Why are you so happy?"

At this time, Gu Zhijun, who was lying on the bed, saw Xu Jichang smiling so brightly and asked curiously.

Xu Jichang glanced at the other mothers in the ward and did not say anything immediately. Instead, he quietly walked to Gu Zhijun and said, "Our daughter will laugh."

It is indeed rare to see a baby smile on the second day after birth.

At the moment, he doesn't want to draw too much attention to his daughter.

Gu Zhijun's face showed surprise after hearing this: "Will Kapok laugh? Is it true?"

"Why are you lying to me?"

As Xu Jichang spoke, he handed his daughter into Gu Zhijun's hands.

Gu Zhijun took the little Kapok and coaxed her gently: "Little Kapok is the best and most obedient to her mother."

"Can you also smile and show it to mom?"

Her words worked.

Little Kapok raised the corners of her mouth again as if she understood what her mother meant.

This time, not only was Gu Zhijun showing an expression of extreme joy, but Yu Yingzi next to her also had excitement in her eyes: "Look, she smiled right after she was born."

"Well, keep your voice down."

Xu Jichang reminded with a smile, Yu Yingzi covered her mouth in embarrassment.

Originally, Xu Jichang had planned to leave, but because of his daughter's smile, he stayed in the delivery room for a while. It was not until evening that he rushed to the bus station and took the evening bus back to the county seat.

Gu Zhijun encountered no difficulties during the delivery and is recovering well.

I guess I'll be back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

This is what makes Xu Jichang feel most relieved.

When he got home, he took a shower and went to sleep. Before going to bed, his mind was still full of Gu Zhijun and his daughter.

……

Xu Jichang was nervous both physically and mentally this time. He didn't know it when he had his wife and daughter by his side. When he returned home alone, he felt extremely tired and sleepy.

So he slept very soundly that night and didn't get up until about three o'clock in the morning the next day.

When he opened his eyelids drowsily, he saw a figure sitting beside the bed.

"Seventh Sister."

He didn't even need to see clearly to know who this figure was, "Do you have a problem with me?"

"Well, I want to ask how Zhijun and her child are doing."

Lan Qimei asked when she saw him waking up.

"Thank you for your concern. Mother and daughter are safe."

Xu Jichang rubbed his eyes and stood up and said, "I named the child Kapok."

"Kapok? Kapok, it sounds really nice."

Lan Qimei showed a soft smile and said, "It's as soft as cotton, as white and tender."

Xu Jichang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to explain to her: "No, no, kapok is not cotton, it is a kind of flower."

"Oh...that's it. We have never heard of this kind of flower. It should be very beautiful, right?"

"That is, when the flowers bloom, they are as gorgeous as fire. The flowering period is long and will not fade for a long time."

"Then the meaning of this name is really good. When we have children in the future, you will have to be so careful when choosing names..."

"Of course. How can I wrong you and our children?"

Xu Jichang put on his clothes and walked out while saying to Lan Qimei who was following him, "But by the way, this child's surname is still Zhijun."

"Whenever it becomes more convenient, then change it again."

"Well, I understand."

Lan Qimei said, "Breakfast is ready in the kitchen. I'll heat it up for you and then serve it."

"Just serve it. It's not getting cold yet, so it's okay to eat."

Xu Jichang said nonchalantly and went into the bathroom to wash up.

After eating the meal cooked by Lan Qimei, he rode his bicycle towards his work.

In terms of time, he was already late, but he didn't care about that.

At the level of department leaders, commuting to and from get off work is already very flexible.

As for Lan Qimei, she is the chef of the cafeteria. As long as she leaves enough time to cook, it doesn't matter if she leaves late.

No one would spend [-] yuan to find trouble with the boss of the unit just because of an occasional lateness.

Arriving at the unit, Xu Jichang slowly parked his bicycle, then walked towards Tong Guoliang's office.

His official mission this time was to communicate with suppliers, and he still had to inform Tong Guoliang of the results.

By the time he finished his report, it was almost noon when he got off work.

Xu Jichang slowly walked to the cafeteria while chatting about work with Tong Guoliang. It seemed that he wanted to have a working meal to connect the feelings between the chief officer and his deputy.

However, before the two of them finished their work meal, someone from the factory office came to notify them.

"Hello, Director Tong, I'm disturbing you two from eating. There's something going on in the factory, and Director Xu needs to go there."

The factory office officer said ably.

"Then go quickly, don't delay things in the factory."

Tong Guoliang said immediately.

"Director, you should eat here first."

Xu Jichang stood up and followed the officer.

On the way to the factory office, he kept thinking about what he wanted to do with him this time.

First of all, this officer said that the factory was looking for him, not Director Gao.

This means that the leader you need to find is probably not just one, but the entire leadership team in the factory.

So the question is, what can cause the factory to mobilize so much.

Xu Jichang thought.
