Chapter 313 Ugly Cute Ugly Cute

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Lin Chaoyang immediately asked with concern.

"My stomach hurts." Tao Yushu held his stomach with a painful expression.

Lin Chaoyang looked nervous. Her stomach ached at this critical moment. She must be about to give birth!
He immediately arranged to send Tao Yushu to the hospital, then thought of the guests at home, and said to Zhang Guangnian, "Old Zhang, please apologize to everyone for me. Please take care of the guests and take them to a restaurant for a meal. I will reimburse you later."

"It's already this late, why are you still eating?"

As Zhang Guangnian said this, he went back to the house and called everyone over. They all helped Lin Chaoyang to send Tao Yushu to the hospital.

After a brief examination, the doctor confirmed that the conditions for delivery were met. He asked Lin Chaoyang to sign a consent form and pushed Tao Yushu into the delivery room.

A group of old, middle-aged and young people were waiting outside the delivery room. It was only at this time that Lin Chaoyang remembered to inform his family.

Lin Chaoyang is a family member and cannot leave, so Gu Hua and Li Guowen volunteered to notify the Tao family and the Lin family respectively and prepare the necessities after the birth.

Time was stretched out little by little as he waited. Lin Chaoyang waited at the door of the delivery room, and would run over from time to time to listen for any movement, but there was no sound at all.

By noon, Lin Chaoyang was extremely anxious.

Everyone came here to have dinner today, but they didn't even get to eat. He apologized to them embarrassedly and suggested that everyone go back and rest first, and he would treat everyone to a meal another day.

Yao Xueying was over 70 years old and in good health. He laughed and said to Lin Chaoyang, "We can eat anytime, but the joy of having a new baby doesn't happen all the time. Anyway, we have nothing to do in the guesthouse, so I'll stay here with you for a while."

Everyone could see that Lin Chaoyang was a newcomer to being a father and was extremely nervous. As people with such experience, they consoled him with a few words and Lin Chaoyang gradually relaxed.

Not long after, Lin Erchun and his wife appeared in the hospital with anxious faces, followed by Tao's father and mother and Tao Yumo.

Tao Yucheng was at work and had two children at home, so his sister-in-law Zhao Li stayed at home.

After briefly understanding the situation, Lin Chaoyang asked Father Tao to take everyone out for a meal, while he sat at the door of the delivery room and continued to wait.

When it got dark, he could no longer suppress his anxiety, and all that appeared in his mind were those scenes from movies and TV dramas about "saving the adult or the child".

Seeing that he was upset, Tao's mother comforted him, "Yushu is giving birth for the first time, so it will definitely take longer. When I gave birth to Yucheng, it took me nearly seven or eight hours."

Zhang Guiqin also comforted him with a few words and Lin Chaoyang finally relaxed.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Chaoyang suggested that a few guests go back first.

But after waiting for such a long time, these men seemed to have made up their minds and were determined to see the baby being born.

Gay men sometimes have an inexplicable stubbornness, and as time goes by, this kind of waiting is slowly condensing into a sense of ritual of participating in the event together.

Why go back to the guesthouse and eat? Isn't it more interesting to see a little one coming into this world than those things?
With the help of this inexplicable stubbornness, everyone waited at the door of the delivery room.

At around six o'clock in the evening, Tao Yucheng came to the hospital with his wife and children. Together with the Tao and Lin families, and the guests waiting on the side, there were nearly twenty family members waiting at the door of the delivery room for Tao Yushu's child.

There was another family that came in the afternoon. Looking at the spectacular scene, they couldn't help but feel inexplicably ashamed for the small number of people in their family.

At around seven o'clock in the evening, the door of the delivery room, which had been closed for almost eight hours, was finally opened.

A nurse in plain clothes came out holding the baby in her arms, "Family of the pregnant woman, Tao Yushu!"

Lin Chaoyang jumped high and rushed to the nurse, and others also rushed over.

"The father of the child?"

Lin Chaoyang was so excited that he couldn't open his mouth, he just nodded vigorously.

"It's a boy, weighing 53 jin and centimeters long."

As the nurse spoke, she was about to hand the baby to Lin Chaoyang. He fumbled with his hands and adjusted his posture, his arms as stiff as two stones.

When the soft little life fell into his arms, a wonderful feeling arose in his heart.

Is this my son?

Lin Chaoyang looked at the little guy's face. It was wrinkled, black and red, and not pretty at all.

Lin Chaoyang felt a little regretful that he didn't go with his mother.

The disgust in his heart only lasted for a moment, and then he was enveloped by an unprecedented sense of happiness.

Little guy, so ugly and cute!
"Eight pounds and two ounces, what a fat boy!" Lin Erchun looked at the child eagerly, his face beaming with joy.

The family formed a circle around Lin Chaoyang and his child, looking at the little one in the cradle with concern as if they were on pilgrimage, and everyone had a kind smile on their face.

After everyone in the family had looked around, Lin Chaoyang held the child up to show to several colleagues.

"Chaoyang, congratulations on the birth of your baby boy!"

"Congratulations, Chaoyang! You just won the award and now you have a son. It's really a double happiness!"

……

“Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone!”

Lin Chaoyang grinned, looking much happier than when he won the award.

Everyone played with the newborn baby for a while, and the corridor was filled with laughter. The nurse said unhappily, "Don't stand here. Send the baby to the ward quickly."

Lin Chaoyang then realized that the child's mother had not come out yet.

He handed the child to his parents and asked them to take the child back to the ward, while he continued to wait for Tao Yushu at the door of the delivery room.

More than ten minutes later, the nurses finally pushed Tao Yushu out of the delivery room. She was pale after giving birth, covered in sweat, and lying weakly on the hospital bed.

Lin Chaoyang walked forward and held her hand with heartache. The couple exchanged a few words, and Tao Yushu was pushed into the ward.

Lin Chaoyang excitedly held his son up to her to see. She only took a glance and couldn't help but frowning in disgust.

"Why so ugly?"

"Do you think it would be prettier if it was a girl?"

Tao Yushu seemed to be devastated by her son's ugly appearance and regretted not giving birth to a daughter.

"Children are like this when they are born. They will be fine after a while of nurturing."

Lin Chaoyang placed her son next to her pillow. Feeling the breath of the little life beside her, Tao Yushu's disgusted heart softened.

"Look at him, isn't he ugly and cute?" Lin Chaoyang asked.

"What's ugly? Where is it ugly?"

Women change their expressions faster than turning the pages of a book. Lin Chaoyang immediately changed his tone and said, "Not ugly, not ugly." After discussing appearance with Tao Yushu, Lin Chaoyang went to see his companions off.

He was supposed to treat everyone to a dinner today, but he didn't expect that they had to wait with him in the hospital for most of the day. Lin Chaoyang felt very sorry and kept expressing his gratitude and apology to them.

Wei Wei's face was filled with joy. "It's just a meal. It doesn't matter whether you eat it or not. We are also happy to witness your couple's joyous birth of a child."

Everyone nodded in unison; Wei Wei's words expressed everyone's thoughts.

Compared with the desire for food, witnessing the birth of a new life makes everyone more happy.

Everyone had just won a prize and was feeling very proud of themselves. This joy without any utilitarian touch was completely different from the joy of winning a prize and it made people feel happy from the heart.

After seeing everyone off, Lin Chaoyang returned to the ward and found Tao Yushu had fallen asleep.

After spending half a day in the delivery room, her strength was already exhausted.

"Dad, Mom, you and big brother should go back early as well." Lin Chaoyang said to Mr. and Mrs. Tao.

"I'll stay here and take care of you tonight." Tao's mother volunteered.

"Mother-in-law, I'm here." Zhang Guiqin said.

Father Tao said, "Let's go back first. Chaoyang and my mother-in-law will take care of Yushu and the child tonight. You can come and take over for them tomorrow morning."

"That's what dad said."

After seeing off the Tao family, Lin Chaoyang asked Lin Erchun to go back and come back tomorrow morning. He and Zhang Guiqin stayed in the hospital.

Tao Yushu had put in a lot of effort in giving birth to the child and slept all night long, but the newborn little one would not rest for a moment.

He cries every once in a while, either because he is hungry, or because he has peed, or because he is hungry.

Under the guidance of Zhang Guiqin, Lin Chaoyang practiced various skills of taking care of children.

He became familiar with holding the baby, preparing milk powder, and changing diapers after doing them a few times, but he had no idea how to wash the diaper.

It's not that he, as an old father, doesn't love me enough, it's just that this little bastard is too good at pooping, and he has to have a big one every one or two days.

He wanted to throw away the urine bag with feces on it, but Zhang Guiqin scolded him as a spendthrift. Lin Chaoyang had no choice but to dry heave while washing the urine bag.

When he thought about having to live like this for the next few years, he felt extremely devastated.

What a shitty child!
After tossing and turning all night, he was completely confused in the morning.

When Lin Erchun and Tao's mother arrived, he was finally liberated.

I went home and took a nap, and went to the hospital again in the evening.

After two nights of tossing and turning, Tao Yushu was finally discharged from the hospital.

In order to take care of Tao Yushu during her confinement, they did not return to the courtyard in Xiaoliubukou Hutong after being discharged from the hospital, but returned to the Overseas Chinese Apartment.

There is collective heating here, and most importantly, there are 24-hour hot water and toilets, allowing you to spend the confinement period comfortably.

In order to take care of her daughter, Tao's mother also temporarily moved to the Overseas Chinese Apartment. Together with Zhang Guiqin, the mother-in-law and mother together reduced Lin Chaoyang's pressure sharply.

The only thing that made him uncomfortable was that he had to wash the urine bag that was covered with poop.

That evening, Tao Yumo ran to see his little nephew.

The little guy weighed more than 8 kilograms when he was born. Newborn babies grow very fast. In just three or four days, he gained another two kilograms and looked plump and chubby.

Moreover, his skin color has become obviously whiter and tenderer in the past two days than when he was just born, just like the fat babies in New Year pictures.

Her hands could not stop pinching her nephew's face, hands, and feet. "This little Dongzi is so cute!"

Dongdong is the nickname of Lin Chaoyang's son, which means he was born in the tenth month of the lunar calendar.

As she spoke, she shouted to Lin Chaoyang, "Brother-in-law, my nephew's nickname is the same as Cha Haisheng's. Can you change it?"

"Your nephew's name is Dongdong, but you call him Xiaodongzi!" Tao Yushu said unhappily.

Seeing her like this, Lin Chaoyang said to Tao Yushu, "This girl really likes children!"

"She's only interesting for two days, she's just playing with it like a toy, but after two days you'll get bored."

While the couple was talking, Tao Yumo suddenly smelled a foul odor. She lifted up her nephew's diaper and immediately shouted in horror, "Sister, your son has pooped!"

Tao Yushu said unhappily, "I just pulled it, why are you shouting?"

As she spoke, she went over and skillfully changed the child's diaper, then handed the diaper to Tao Yumo.

"What are you doing to me? It's so dirty." Tao Yumo was about to throw it away with a look of disgust.

Tao Yushu was immediately unhappy when he heard this, "Didn't I wash your diaper enough when you were a child? Go wash it now!"

Seeing her sister digging up old accounts, Tao Yumo looked reluctant, "It was obviously my elder brother who washed more. How old were you then?"

"Go quickly!"

Tao Yumo went to wash the diaper reluctantly. When he got to the bathroom, before he washed it, he opened the diaper and smelled it, and he retched because of the odor.

"Ugh~Brother-in-law, your son's shit stinks!"

Lin Chaoyang leaned against the door frame and said to her, "Wash well. Everyone has gone through this. You are his aunt. How can you dislike your nephew so much?"

"You are still his father!" Tao Yumo said indignantly while rubbing his diaper.

After finally washing the diaper, Lin Chaoyang even smelled it to make sure there was no smell before letting her hang it up.

“Good wash!”

Tao Yumo rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do I need you to praise me?"

"Come to my house more often when you have nothing to do."

"You're here to wash your son's diaper, right?"

After exchanging some banter with Lin Chaoyang, Tao Yumo was almost done washing her hands. After coming out of the bathroom, she asked Tao Yushu:

"Sister, have you decided on a name for my nephew?"
