After entering September, it will be an eventful time.
On September 8, Tom's great-grandmother passed away in her sleep at the age of ninety-six.
With no illness or disaster, the Smith family happily held a "happy funeral" and buried their great-grandmother.
On September 11, I had labor pains in my previous pregnancy. It lasted for a few minutes and then stopped. It was normal for me to see a doctor for a checkup.
On September 14th, the first edition of "Lao Ma Rui Commentary" was published, and Tom chose to order it as soon as possible, and it was urgent.
September 19, 1867
Monday,
Half past nine in the morning.
Tom slept peacefully on the single bed in his office.
Tom has a good habit of sleeping twelve hours a day, otherwise he will not be able to fully relieve the "severe" fatigue caused by the "hard work" of three hours a day the previous day.
In order to prevent being disturbed, Tom usually sleeps with the door locked.
"Bang!"
John directly knocked open the door of Tom's office.
The huge noise of breaking in the door immediately woke up Tom in bed.
John didn't waste any time, he just grabbed Tom, put it on his shoulders, and started to leave with Tom.
"What are you doing? It's only half past nine now. I still want to sleep a little longer. I didn't go to bed until ten o'clock last night and I'm not full yet."
"Your baby is about to be born. The doctor arranged by Aunt Penny had already started the delivery process when I left."
"Hey, just give birth. Don't worry about me. I don't know how to deliver a baby. I only know the first step of giving birth - the movement of creating a human being. I don't know anything about it after that."
"Aunt Penny said that when your child is born, you must be by your woman's side."
"No, I want to sleep."
Tom, who was physically unable to compete with John, could only be carried by John through the living room and into the delivery room.
In the living room, dozens of core members of the Smith family were crowded, waiting for the birth of Tom Smith's first child.
So he celebrated immediately to show his loyalty to Tom.
Even if the first child of Tom Smith, the real head of the Smith family, is an "illegitimate child", everyone must come in person to show their appreciation.
Tom sat in the delivery room with his mother and sisters, waiting boredly for the birth of the child.
Before the child could come out, a doctor in a white coat came out first.
"Gentlemen and ladies, the mother's delivery is not going well."
"How is this possible? I have been praying to God for several days, and the priest also said that if I let nature take its course, I will definitely give birth to a strong son."
When Penny heard that there was something wrong with her daughter-in-law's delivery, she hurried forward and asked the obstetrician who Tom had invited a month in advance.
"The mother's body is small, her pelvis is too narrow, resulting in a narrow birth canal, and the baby's head is too large. A caesarean section may be necessary." The doctor explained to the excited Penny the problems the mother encountered.
"Don't do that kind of man-made destruction. The priest said, you must let nature take its course, otherwise you may turn into a daughter." As a modern person, Tom didn't care much about caesarean section or vaginal birth.
"Mom, let the doctor say whatever he says. It's possible that God's blessing means a caesarean section. In my eyes, Tom, there is only one word the priest says that I can believe in. That is, the priest can cure the bowels of little boys all over the world..."
While persuading his mother, he also made up a priest's own hell joke.
"Um?"
Tom who interrupted was frightened into silence by Penny's vicious look.
"It is because of your impiety that your child cannot be born smoothly."
"Quick, take it, this is the Bible brought back from Rome."
"I have learned a lot of Latin with the priest recently. You can learn a few words from me and pray to God together in God's language to ensure the safety of mother and child."
After forcing Tom to pray, Tom had no choice but to kneel down on the ground and pray "sincerely".
There's nothing I can do, who makes Penny his mother?
The world is huge, and my mother is the biggest!
This is not only Tom's own filial piety to his mother because of the memory of the original owner, Frederick, but more importantly, it is a statement.
If you yourself are not filial to your parents and don't respect your elders, why should you ask your subordinates outside the door to respect you?
John Muller patted the doctor on the shoulder and asked the gynecologist to leave the delivery room with him.
The two walked to the door of the delivery room.
Separated by a door are the mother who is giving birth and several other obstetricians and midwives.
"Doctor, what's the matter? I've never heard of caesarean section. Does caesarean section have a high success rate?" John heard about caesarean section for the first time and asked the doctor with some confusion.
"If it is an ordinary person, the probability of mother and child being safe with this method of delivery is less than one-fifth. However, Mr. Smith has given us a lot of new disinfectants before. In the past year, the success rate of this kind of surgery has been as high as 90%.
That’s all. It’s just..."
"Just what?"
"There is a high probability that pregnant women will not be able to have children again."
"It doesn't matter, just go ahead and do it boldly. Tom told me that professional matters should be left to professionals. You are the most professional in Texas."
"thank you for your trust."
"If the production goes well, Tom and I will apply to increase your research expenses by 20% every year."
"Thank you so much."
Pregnant women's delivery has also changed from vaginal delivery to caesarean section, with a 90% success rate.
The probability of the U.S. economy collapsing is calculated by dividing the excess issuance of currency by the issuance under normal circumstances.
It's already hundreds of thousands percent.
The bubble of hypocrisy is burst today!
"Wow~"
Half an hour later, the cry of a newborn baby made Smith Farm lively again.
Members of the Smith family took turns entering the delivery room to congratulate Penny and Tom.
Tom was not interested in this kind of newborn congratulatory etiquette, so he asked several midwives who came out about the situation in the delivery room.
After confirming that he could go in without worrying about affecting the mother's health, Tom walked into the delivery room.
In the delivery room, the secretary who had just given birth was lying.
"My lovely little secretary, what's wrong with you?"
"Tom, the doctor said I may never have children again."
"Is there such a good thing? Then you must recover as soon as possible!"
"???"
Houston was filled with joy because of the birth of Tom's eldest son, Mende Smith.
According to Tom's Chinese soul, he should hang a red flag to celebrate.
At the same time, Wall Street in New York, USA, was also celebrating by "hanging red".
This "red" is not an ordinary "red".
Today is not only the birth day of Tom's eldest son, but also the day when the most terrifying economic crisis in American history broke out.
