Upon seeing Xie Jinghao's arrival, Lu Jiasheng hurried over and lifted him onto the bed, and the doctors and nurses swiftly pushed Xie Jinghao towards the delivery room.
Shen Meng also quickly picked up the sleepy Xiao Gang.
"Uncle Guai, thank you for your hard work, please take a rest here!"
"Go on in, hurry and keep an eye on things, I'll park the ox cart and come over to help you out."
After everyone had left, Uncle Guai wiped away his sweat, his heart aching as he gently patted the old ox's hindquarters. In their rush to arrive, he had whipped the ox harder than even during the busiest farming seasons, causing the old ox to run panting, its buttocks turning red. He felt terrible about it.
