Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 521: Chapter 516: Going to the Hospital to Give Birth to a Baby

Qin Xue looked at her sister’s obedient demeanor, softening her heart. Her sister had been a great help during this past month.

Qin Xue took out pen and paper to leave a note on the table. She feared Chu Molin might worry if he came home to find her gone unexpectedly.

She tidied up the pen and paper, looking around the house to see if there was anything she had overlooked.

Having made sure everything important was accounted for, she finally let herself relax.

“Sister, let’s eat.” Qin Jiale served two bowls of chicken noodle soup, one for her and one for her sister. Although she wasn’t hungry, seeing her sister’s current state made her anxious, so she prepared a small bowl for herself as well.

“Thank you, Lele.” Qin Xue smiled at her little sister, picking up her chopsticks to eat. Her sister’s culinary skills had significantly improved over the past month.

Both siblings had learned a lot from her during this time.

Once Qin Xue had finished her noodles, Qin Jiale packed away the cooled boiled eggs into a bag and they headed to the hospital.

“Dr. Li, long time no see.” Immediately upon entering the doctor’s office, Qin Xue and her sister were greeted by Li Rong.

“Is it you? Are you about to give birth?” Li Rong asked after seeing Qin Xue.

“Yes, that’s why I’m here to see Dr. Li.” Qin Xue replied with a smile.

“Has the pain started or…” Li Rong was taken aback by Qin Xue’s belly, which seemed to be falling into the pelvic area. It appeared that childbirth was imminent.

“There’s no pain, just a feeling. I think it may happen tonight, that’s why I came.” Qin Xue spoke casually, without a hint of nervousness.

“Your mindset is excellent. How about this, I’ll examine you first then arrange a bed for you to stay in.” Li Rong knew Qin Xue was a soldier’s wife and therefore had priority. She could check in early and wait for labour to start.

Seeing that Qin Xue had only brought her sister along, Li Rong guessed that her husband was probably away on duty.

The drawback of being a soldier’s wife was the heavy reliance on oneself. Regardless of the situation, they couldn’t depend on their husbands who were defending everyone else. While the soldiers were guarding the country, the wives were guarding the home front.

“Sure, thank you, Dr. Li. Lele, wait for me here.” Qin Xue nodded at Li Rong and spoke to her sister.

Li Rong led Qin Xue to the adjacent room for an examination, leaving Qin Jiale to wait as instructed.

“Qin Xue, your intuition is correct. These two little ones are ready to come out.” Li Rong stated after the examination.

“Yes, I had a strong feeling. They’ve stayed in my belly long enough; it’s time they came out and saw the world.” Qin Xue couldn’t quite explain her calmness.

By all means, she should be nervous as a first-time mother. However, she was exceptionally calm.

Perhaps this had something to do with her being a doctor. At any time, it was essential to maintain composure to avoid making mistakes during operations.

“Has your husband been sent on another mission?” Li Rong couldn’t resist asking.

“Yes, he’s on assignment.” Qin Xue didn’t blame Chu Molin for not being by her side.

From the moment she was reborn in this body, she understood that she wouldn’t be like other women, able to lean on their husbands and act spoiled.

As the wife of a research scientist who frequently traveled, she was fully prepared to shoulder everything herself.

By doing so, her husband could work outside without worries.

Qin Xue was proud of herself and all women like her who uncomplainingly bore their burdens. She was grateful for their sacrifices and forbearance.

Without their quiet dedication, men wouldn’t be able to wholeheartedly carry out the research tasks entrusted to them by the country.
