Chapter 60, the final chapter...

Chapter Sixty

Time flies when you're happy. Yao Anhui was living a comfortable life with a considerate husband and well-behaved children. She didn't have to worry about anything at home. All she had to do was keep herself happy. So, it seemed like only a blink of an eye before she went from being pregnant to almost giving birth.

As the due date approached, Lu Yuanqing and Qi Mingzhe were on high alert. Every time they saw Yao Anhui's huge belly, they felt terrified. Qi Mingzhe stayed by Yao Anhui's side every step of the way, and Lu Yuanqing rushed home as soon as he got off work. The two of them protected Yao Anhui like the apple of their eyes, afraid that she might bump into something or get hurt if they weren't careful.

The baby in my belly is also very sensible.

On December 25, 1971, the eighth day of the eleventh lunar month, after half a month of continuous drizzle, the sun suddenly came out. Yao Anhui seemed to have a premonition. She got up in the morning and started directing Qi Mingzhe to do chores, taking out the baby products that had been washed with Kaixin hot water to sunbathe, and boiling water to wash their hair and bathe them.

Yao Anhui had just finished cleaning herself up when labor began. Her belly was dropping, and Yao Anhui knew she was about to give birth.

Lu Yuanqing had just returned from get off work when he pushed open the courtyard gate and saw Yao Anhui's expression change. He immediately rushed over: "What's wrong? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

It seemed as if Yao Anhui would take the person to the hospital as soon as she opened her mouth.

"It's nothing, just a bit of a stomachache, labor is starting." Yao Anhui patted Lu Yuanqing's arm reassuringly.

However, the comforting pats had no effect whatsoever. When Lu Yuanqing heard that Yao Anhui was about to give birth, he became so nervous that he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet. After pacing around like a headless fly for a few minutes, he picked Yao Anhui up and carried her back to her room.

"Don't be nervous, put me down... It's only just begun, it won't be that fast yet..."

Lu Yuanqing put Yao Anhui down, and only then did his mind seem to return to normal: "Right, right...we should walk around for a while first, so the delivery will go more smoothly..."

Lu Yuanqing was so concerned that he lost his composure. Not only was his voice system completely reinstalled, but his limbs were also acting out of their own minds, making it unbearable to watch.

Qi Mingzhe couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Uncle, go to the kitchen and make something for Auntie so she'll have the energy later..."

"Yes...eat something..." Lu Yuanqing turned and went to the kitchen like a robot that had just received a command.

Qi Mingzhe shook his head, feeling that the family couldn't function without him.

A frightened Lu Yuanqing was sent to the kitchen. Seeing that Yao Anhui was doing alright and could still walk slowly in the yard despite the pain, Qi Mingzhe quickly packed up all the things that could be used for production and then sent Yao Anhui to the military hospital.

At 12:59, the last minute of noon, Yao Anhui gave birth to twin girls. Both mother and daughters are safe and sound.

Yao Anhui's daughter was truly well-behaved and sensible. Her delivery was exceptionally smooth, and she was pleasing to the eye. Yao Anhui thought this was probably because she had given birth to her own child, so she was happy no matter how she looked at her.

However, while Yao Anhui was overjoyed, Lu Yuanqing was terrified, not because of Yao Anhui, but because there were other women giving birth today.

The woman in labor was the wife of Lu Yuanqing's comrade-in-arms. Her delivery was extremely difficult. Lu Yuanqing heard her screams from outside the delivery room. At one point, a nurse came out to ask whether to save the mother or the baby. Lu Yuanqing's comrade's voice was trembling as he said "Save the mother." He would have fallen to the ground if Lu Yuanqing hadn't helped him up.

Lu Yuanqing was terrified. He felt that childbirth was too dangerous for a woman, like passing through the gates of hell. He also thought that they already had Qi Mingzhe and twin daughters, so that was enough. Therefore, he consulted a doctor about any methods of contraception.

Then I almost got tricked by Hua Fangling into getting a tubal ligation.

The reason it was almost done was because Yao Anhui discovered it in time. As an ancient person who came from the ancient palace, she did not know how men should be sterilized. She only heard a general idea and felt that it was not good. What if she accidentally became a eunuch?

To everyone's surprise, Lu Yuanqing was quite insistent, fearing that Yao Anhui might get pregnant again, and that he wouldn't be able to handle the possibility of something going wrong.

Fortunately, Yao Anhui had many ancient prescriptions, one of which was a beauty and skincare formula with excellent results. The only side effect was that it would cause contraception, but wouldn't you know it, it perfectly solved the problem!

………………

The two daughters look almost identical, the difference being that the older sister has a pair of sweet dimples when she smiles, while the younger sister has wine dimples.

Their personalities are also quite different. The older sister, Yueyue, has a generous and cheerful personality, while the younger sister, Lele, is outgoing and lively. The military wives in the family compound who want to have daughters often come to Yao Anhui's place to touch the older sister and hug the younger sister, hoping to get a good pregnancy and have a beautiful little girl of their own.

…………

Qi Mingzhe was extremely worried about his younger sisters being so beautiful that they might be stolen at any moment. Ever since a child in the family compound thought his younger brother was too naughty and secretly brought him over in exchange for a younger sister, Qi Mingzhe saw everyone as a potential sister thief.

Qi Mingzhe adored her, she was beautiful, and she would sweetly call him "brother."

Yao Anhui let go decisively and cleanly, so Qi Mingzhe took care of the twins most of the time when they were young.

After his younger sister was born, Qi Mingzhe finally started acting like a child again. He would get angry and be naughty, and his smiles gradually increased. He was no longer as old-fashioned as before. Therefore, whenever Qi Mingzhe was home, Yao Anhui would leave the children in his care.

As a result, the three siblings had an exceptionally good relationship. Compared to Yao Anhui, Yueyue and Lele spent more time with Qi Mingzhe, which laid a solid foundation for their future relationship.

Yao Anhui's carefree life has come to an end, and the era of the next generation has arrived. In the future, Qi Mingzhe and the twin sisters will write a new chapter.
