Chapter 593 - New member of the Samos family
The old man who paid the money became a hand-off manager, and Li Bai still went to the Seventh People's Hospital from 9 to 5.
Xiao Jiangnan contributed the least amount of money but had to do the most work. He spent almost most of his time living at the construction site in Meijiaao, following up on construction and materials entering the site.
The land on the hill must be leveled within one month, the construction of cross-mountain canals must be completed within half a year, and the construction of small hydropower must be completed by the end of the year.
Fortunately, there are many construction teams in China that are known as the "infrastructure maniac". As long as the RMB is in place, the hills are full of people, and all kinds of machinery are roaring. Even at night, the lights are brightly lit, just like daytime.
The entire project progress is even a little faster than the production base of Kunlun Yaoyu Co., Ltd.-
The late spring cold ended quickly. After a month of cold rain, Huxi City finally gradually cleared up and the temperature began to rise.
At the door of the delivery room of Qianjiang Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital, Thomas Samos paced back and forth anxiously, listening to his wife Catherine's moan in the delivery room, his brows frowned tightly.
"Li Bai, Katherine..."
"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry!"
Li Bai, who was dragged over to be a mascot, made a reassuring gesture to Thomas little.
All members of the Samos family were also sitting quietly against the wall in the corridor, waiting for the new members of the family to come to this world.
The delivery room not only contains professional doctors and nurses, but also two experienced doulas, also known as midwives, who can assist in fetal position and natural delivery.
"…Inhale, exhale, and use force! One, two, three! One, two, three!"
The doula in the delivery room also "worked hard" to cheer for Katherine who had expired in October.
At this critical moment, I can only rely on my mother.
"Full open, use force! Use all your strength!"
The doctor urged him loudly.
Fortunately, Catherine gave a tutoring in Chinese, and there were not many voice disorders between the two sides, otherwise it would be really a conversation between the two of them.
"One, two, three! Use force!"
The delivery room is like tug of war.
"...The head is coming out, the amniotic fluid is turbid, the umbilical cord is around the neck, normal..."
Little Thomas, who had been walking around, stopped, stood in front of the delivery room door, staring at the stainless steel door tightly, and the warm airflow blew out of the crack of the door, and his fingertips were almost about to pierce into his palm.
The laminar flow operating room design ensures that the internal air pressure is greater than the outside, making it difficult for bacteria to invade through various gaps.
"It's over!"
Bang! ~
After a crisp sound, the cry of the newborn baby started to sound, howling like a kitten, and there was no movement again.
"My child! My child!"
Little Thomas jumped up excitedly and was about to break into it.
"Don't go in! It will cause infection."
Li Bai held him down in time and shook his head.
He didn't know anything about having children, but he was sure to save Catherine's life, but now it seems that everything goes well.
"Congratulations, it's a boy, seven pounds and four ounces."
The nurse immediately carried the child out, allowing the anxious little Thomas to take a look at it.
"My child, haha, my child, I'm a father..."
The screaming little Thomas jumped on the spot several times, then hugged Li Bai with a laugh, and then carefully held the child handed over by the nurse, for fear that it would be a fragile vessel and was very nervous.
The newborn baby does not look like a wrinkled old man, nor is it ugly. He is like a little angel sleeping quietly, and he still smacks his lips from time to time.
Those few crying sounds just emptying the amniotic fluid in the lungs, allowing the tender respiratory organs to start working for the first time, and they scream endlessly as soon as they were born. They were not human children, but monsters.
After cutting the umbilical cord, the remaining nutrients from the mother will provide the most important energy.
After a while, Catherine, who was lying on the mobile hospital bed, was pushed out, a thin quilt covering her lower body, and a small sun was doing infrared disinfection.
"Dear, our little angel!"
Exhausted Catherine squeezed out a smile in her tired face.
Although it was a natural birth, it had been a full three or four hours, and it was really not easy.
"The fetal stool will be discharged in about five or six hours. Then someone will come to help with the bath. Are the breast pumps and milk powder ready?... There are so many people, don't kiss the child, do you know?"
The nurse gave a lot of things and gave a reminder.
"Okay, OK, ready!"
Little Thomas, who was holding his son to show his wife, nodded quickly.
The fourth-month-month-sanitary nanny has been on standby. Although the salary of the confinement nanny is high, it is a 24-hour working system. The newly born baby cries once every two hours and feeds it once. There will be no serious rest at all. Only by surviving the first month can you get a little better.
Confinement is not an easy thing.
John Samos, the current patriarch of the Samos family, took the baby, and said with a smile: "Ha, the first time we met, hello, the little angel of our Samos family."
Then he took turns to his eldest son and others to carry him around. Everyone sent their blessings and finally returned to Catherine's hospital bed.
After the Samos family lost one member, there is now another new member, and the total number has changed back to thirty-eight.
The mobile bed was sent to a separate ward, with family private doctors, nurses, confinement nannies, nutritionists, and cleaning staff all in place.
"This is my gift, the most traditional long-lived lock in China."
Li Bai took out a red brocade box, opened the lid, and exposed an exquisite pure gold long-lived lock.
For the Samos family, this gold product weighing more than 50 grams is not a valuable thing, but it represents a blessing.
"Thomas, have you figured out your name?"
The little Thomas' father looked at his young son staring at his wife and children.
"Ah! I've thought about it, Katherine and I have thought, if it's a girl, it's Ola, and the boy's name is..."
Thomas and Catherine looked at each other, and they said in unison: "Nathan"
The word nathan is not just a person's name, but also has another meaning. In Hebrew, it also refers to the gift of God.
This newborn baby is a gift God gave to the family of Thomas, Catherine and Samus.
"A very good name!"
Mr. John, who was grandpa, nodded, turned his head and said to the lawyer waiting beside him, "Nathan Samos, a new member of our Samos family."
"Okay, sir!"
The lawyer nodded and began to register the birth certificate of the newborn baby.
The Samos family was driven out of Europe by the Dragon Knights and now settled in the United States. According to the laws of the United States and China, Nathan Samos' nationality can only be the United States.
After all, the nationality of China does not recognize the birthplace, but only recognizes whether both parents or one of them have Chinese nationality.
After the relevant legal procedures come into effect, Nathan Samos, the youngest member of the Samos family, will gain his own family rights.
Li Bai asked, "This child... can I hug you?"
"Of course, my friend, you can be Nathan's godfather!"
Little Thomas picked up his son from his wife and handed him over.
"We are called adoptive fathers here!"
Li Bai nodded. The godfather in English had another religious meaning, but he didn't believe in those things.
"Hahaha! Let's follow the customs!"
Thomas little laughed very happily. He already spoke very casually in Chinese, so he could naturally understand the difference between the godfather and the adoptive father.
Chapter completed!
