The night was naturally enjoyable, and Duan Zetao also enjoyed the warmth of this family, so he simply put aside all work matters and stayed with Li Mei wholeheartedly. Because he was worried about an accident, he gave birth a week before the due date.
Duan Zetao urged Li Mei to stay in the special ward of the People's Liberation Army Armed Police Hospital to wait for the birth of the baby.
Duan Zetao and Li Mei had a dispute about how the baby was born. Duan Zetao believed that natural birth was too painful and wanted Li Mei to have a caesarean section. Li Mei believed that natural birth was good for the fetus and insisted on natural birth. In the end, Jiang Xiaoxue, a "parenting expert", took the initiative.
, brought out a lot of pregnancy books, and finally came to the conclusion that natural is the best, supporting Li Mei’s natural birth. ▏中㊣▏
Mother Zhang Guihua also flew to the capital from Xinghua. She specially sewed the baby's clothes, tiger head hat, shoes and socks, and even diapers for several nights. Duan Zetao watched her mother sew them stitch by stitch.
Looking for baby supplies, I felt moved and distressed at the same time, and complained: "Mom, why are you doing this? You can buy these things in baby care stores, and Xiaoxue has already prepared them...".
Zhang Guihua rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "What do you know? Babies have tender skin and need to wear hand-sewn clothes. There are no good things bought in the store. Aren't you and your sister both wearing clothes sewn by me?"
If you don’t like the clothes you’ve grown out of, throw them on the street!”.
Duan Zetao was sweating profusely, Jiang Xiaoxue pushed him and said: "Mom is right, the things you buy outside are not as good as those made by hand. How can you, a grown man, understand this? Go aside quickly and don't make trouble here...
...", then turned around and hugged Zhang Guihua's shoulders affectionately and said: "Mom, Zetao feels sorry for you because you work too hard. You are really good at needlework, but you must teach me well...", Zhang Guihua
Only then did he break into a smile.
On the day Li Mei gave birth, the situation became more intense. Mr. Xiao and Mr. Li personally took action. Even Li Qiang made a special trip back from Nanyun Province. Li Zhi also came. A large number of people crowded outside the delivery room.
Duan Zetao was granted permission to enter the delivery room. Seeing that Li Mei was a little nervous, he cheered Li Mei up and said: "Xiaomei, don't be nervous. The doctor who will deliver your baby this time is a nationally renowned obstetrician with rich experience. You can wait for me."
If the pain is severe, pinch me hard and treat me like a bad guy...".
Li Mei burst into laughter and said: "What's the use of pinching you, won't it hurt me if I pinch you?! As long as you stay with me, I won't be afraid of anything!".
During the delivery, Duan Zetao saw that Li Mei was in great pain, and beads of sweat as big as soybeans kept coming out of her forehead. He felt very distressed, so he quickly put his hand to hers and asked her to squeeze hard.
The other hand held a towel and kept wiping her sweat.
"Wow! Wow!", a loud cry of the baby resounded throughout the operating room. An indescribable joy instantly occurred in Duan Zetao's body like an electric current, making him tremble uncontrollably. The midwife carefully used the soft cloth prepared
He wrapped up the baby and carried it to Duan Zetao, with a smile on his face and said: "Congratulations, I gave birth to a daughter...".
Duan Zetao took the baby at a loss. The baby's eyes had not yet fully opened. His skin was tender and tender, and his eyebrows were somewhat similar to Li Mei's. He was very cute. When he grew up, he would definitely be a charming beauty. He was completely in his heart.
Filled with the joy of becoming a father for the first time, he was so excited that he almost danced. He quickly carried his daughter to Li Mei, who was still very weak after giving birth, and said excitedly: "Xiao Mei, look how much our daughter looks like you.
ah……".
Li Mei looked at her lovely daughter, with a happy smile on her pale face, but at the same time she was slightly disappointed and felt guilty: "Tao, I'm sorry, I couldn't give you a son...".
Duan Zetao laughed loudly and said: "Xiaomei, you are so feudal. It is better to have a daughter than a son. The son is very naughty, and the daughter is sensible and cute. They say that a daughter is a close-fitting little cotton-padded jacket for the mother. You will have a caring little cotton-padded jacket in the future."
It’s…”.
At this time, the situation outside was completely chaotic. Mr. Xiao and Mr. Li were anxiously walking around outside the ward. They were more nervous than commanding a major battle. Li Qiang did not have the calmness of the provincial party committee secretary at this time.
Her eyes were fixed on the door of the operating room, and she kept mumbling, "Why aren't you coming out yet?!" Zhang Guihua stretched her neck and stood guard at the door of the operating room, while Jiang Xiaoxue supported her and kept comforting her.
When Duan Zetao pushed Li Mei and the baby out of the operating room, people waiting outside gathered around him, vying to see the newborn baby and pushing Duan Zetao aside.
Duan Zetao breathed a long sigh of relief and took out his mobile phone to make a call to his friends to announce the good news. The mobile phone must be turned off in the operating room. As soon as it was turned on, the missed call reminder text message ring kept ringing. It was all friends calling.
Duan Zetao was about to go back when his cell phone rang again. The call was from Wang Xianguo.
"Comrade Zetao, the Vice Premier wants to see you tomorrow morning. Please come to the General Office of the State Council to see me at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning...".
Why did the Vice Premier want to meet with him? Wang Xianguo didn't say anything on the phone. Duan Zetao was also a little confused. It seemed that it was probably related to his next work arrangement. Combined with the current international situation, and then thinking about himself in a year
He had a rough idea of the answer to the paper he wrote many years ago, "A Brief Discussion on Resource Crisis and Economic Development Strategy Transformation."
Returning to Li Mei's ward, Mr. Xiao and Mr. Li were fighting over the right to name the baby. Seeing Duan Zetao come in, they immediately grabbed him one by one. Duan Zetao had to argue, "Li Mei is
The child’s mother, otherwise she should be the one to choose the child’s name?!”.
Li Mei looked at Zhang Guihua and said: "I have become a mother myself, and I know that being a mother is not easy. Let the mother pick the child's name!" Zhang Guihua waved her hands and said: "I haven't read the book, so I can't pick it out.
What a good name..." Jiang Xiaoxue on the side said with a smile: "Why can't I choose it well? The name Zetao is quite good. His successful career may be thanks to the good name you gave him..."
.
Zhang Guihua couldn't resist, so she thought for a while and said: "Then let's call her Simei?!" Everyone clapped their hands and said with a smile, Mr. Li said with a smile: "Duan Simei, this is a good name, easy to remember, and elegant. It also calls Xiaomei
My name is also included, so it’s called Duan Simei!”
Early the next morning, Duan Zetao arrived at the General Office of the State Council on time. Wang Xianguo took him to the Office of the Vice Prime Minister. The Vice Prime Minister was reviewing documents. When he saw him coming in, he pointed to the sofa beside him and said calmly: "You sit down first, I'll finish reading this."
I’ll discuss a few documents with you later…”.
Duan Zetao carefully sat on the sofa and waited quietly aside. After the deputy prime minister approved the document, he glanced at Duan Zetao and was very satisfied with his steady performance. He nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Zetao
Comrade, I heard that you have become a father, congratulations to you. As a father, the responsibility on your shoulders is even heavier. It seems that you have really matured... Do you know why I came to you?"
Duan Zetao bowed slightly and said loudly: "Thank you, Vice Premier, for your concern. This time the central government transferred me back from Tibet ahead of schedule. There must be important work for me. I will resolutely obey the organization's arrangements and guarantee to complete the task!..."
The Vice Prime Minister tapped Duan Zetao with his finger, laughed loudly and said: "You little slippery boy!" He stood up and picked up the paper "Resource Crisis and Economic Development Strategic Transformation" on the table and handed it to him.
Duan Zetao said seriously: "You predicted me a year ago
There will be a resource crisis in our country, especially energy resources. Currently, many oil-producing countries in the world have imposed export restrictions on China. This has suddenly caused the price of oil in our country to skyrocket, and even the military reserves of oil have become tense. I would like to hear your more specific views on this issue.
views...".
As soon as Duan Zetao read the report, he knew that he had guessed it right. He did some homework before coming and answered calmly: "Although our country is vast and rich in resources, we cannot be optimistic if we count it by head.
Especially in strategic resources such as oil and iron ore, our country has
They are highly dependent on their mouths... In fact, the competition among major international powers in the future will also be a competition for strategic resources to a large extent. Currently, several major international powers are making plans in advance. Country M has made a series of actions in the Middle East in recent years.
, and it is precisely for the rich oil resources in the Middle East...".
"The rapid economic development of our country in recent years will inevitably attract the attention of other international powers. I have noticed that the recent international discussion on the "China threat theory" has risen again. Recently, many international oil-producing countries have exported to China.
The restrictions should also be promoted by several international powers behind the scenes..."
The Vice Prime Minister nodded and said: "The leaders of the countries you mentioned have already seen it, so how do you think we should respond and what specific measures should be taken?".
This is a big proposition. Duan Zetao weighed his words and said: "I think we should walk on two legs. Internally, we should pay more attention to the development and management of strategic resources, improve the production capacity of strategic resource development enterprises, formulate long-term plans, and have
Forecast mining, prohibit destructive mining of strategic resources, strengthen the development and utilization of alternative energy, and those enterprises with high energy consumption should be shut down or undergo technical transformation to reduce energy consumption, and at the same time make good reserves of strategic resources...
”.
"On the other hand, we should go abroad, expand the import channels of strategic resources, and obtain more strategic resources through acquisitions and holdings of foreign energy companies. If the state cannot come forward, we can operate them through private companies and ultimately make profits.
It’s still the country…”.
It should be said that Duan Zetao's remarks were very bold, and some of them even touched upon the country's core secrets. He only spoke boldly because he saw the Vice Prime Minister's love for him, and felt quite upset after he finished speaking.
The Vice Prime Minister stared at Duan Zetao with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see through the young man in front of him. He suddenly laughed and said something that stunned Duan Zetao...
