Just then, the sound of a baby crying came from the delivery room. Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiping and the others were so happy that they almost jumped for joy.

"She's given birth! She's given birth!"

After a while, no nurse brought out the baby, and everyone was wondering what was going on when suddenly they heard another baby cry.

Shao Minzhi laughed upon hearing this, "Brother, congratulations! Your wife really gave birth to twins."

No sooner had the words left her mouth than a nurse emerged from the delivery room carrying two bundles of candles. "Who is Zhou Qinglan's family member?" the nurse called out.

“Comrade, I am her husband,” Sheng Xiping hurriedly stepped forward and replied.

"The mother gave birth to twins, both girls, and both mother and babies are safe." The nurse asked Sheng Xiping to come forward and lift the blanket to see the two babies.

Newborn babies are rarely good-looking; most are red and wrinkled, and these two girls were no exception.

Moreover, because they were twins, the two girls looked very small, much smaller than Sheng Xinhua and his siblings were at that age.

The two girls weighed four pounds and three pounds eight ounces respectively, which is considered quite heavy for twins.

The nurse said the baby was healthy and could be taken to the ward; someone could stay and wait to pick up the mother.

Shao Minzhi and Aunt Li each carried a baby and returned to the ward first.

Sheng Xiping waited there. After the delivery room was tidied up, Sheng Xiping went in and carried Zhou Qinglan back to the ward.

Zhou Qinglan was well taken care of by Aunt Li and Zhou Qingyue during her pregnancy.

The two babies were born quickly and didn't take much physical exertion, so the mother was in good spirits after returning to the ward. Lying in bed, she insisted on seeing her daughter.

"You've always wanted a daughter, and now you've got two! Are you satisfied?"

Shao Minzhi brought the two babies over, showed them to Zhou Qinglan, and then put them back in the crib.

"You should rest well and not think about anything. We're here for you."

After seeing the child, Zhou Qinglan was satisfied and finally felt comfortable talking to Sheng Xiping.

"Why did you come so early? I thought you wouldn't come until the end of the month."

Sheng Xiping was in a hurry to leave, and did not call or send a telegram to the provincial capital beforehand, so Zhou Qinglan did not know that he was coming.

"Luckily I arrived in time, just in time for the birth of my two daughters. If I had left a day later, I would have missed it."

Sheng Xiping held his wife's hand and kissed it.

"My mom said that you always give birth early, and this time it might be the same."

And didn't you say before that you might be pregnant with twins? Twins are usually born prematurely, so I settled things at home and came as soon as possible.

"What perfect timing! I haven't even gotten off the bus yet, and you're about to give birth. These two girls can't wait to see me."

When talking about his two daughters, Sheng Xiping also had a happy smile on his face.

"You're happy now? It wasn't when you didn't want me to have it in the first place, right?"

"I told you I wanted a daughter! Look, two have arrived." Zhou Qinglan was overjoyed and proud that her wish had come true.

Sheng Xiping laughed, "So you're picking on me now? Well, I was worried about your studies and job, wasn't I?"

After chatting for a while, Shao Minzhi reminded Sheng Xiping to call home to share the good news.

So, Sheng Xiping went out to find a public phone, first called Zhou Mingyuan, and then called the processing plant.

Have the factory workers notify the family that Zhou Qinglan has given birth to twins, two girls.

It was only at this point that the people at the processing plant learned that Sheng Xiping's wife had become pregnant in the provincial capital and given birth to twins.

No wonder Sheng Xiping took a long leave to go to the provincial capital; it turns out he went to take care of his wife.

Wang Jiansheng rushed to the Sheng family and informed Zhang Shuzhen.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shuzhen was overjoyed to learn that her son had just arrived and her daughter-in-law had given birth to a boy and a girl. However, she was also filled with lingering fear.
