Xu Xialian hurriedly left Xu Mingyang and the others' room and ran to find Xu Yaozu.

When Xu Yaozu heard that his precious daughter was about to give birth, he asked Xu Xialian to call Yang Chunqin out, and then the three of them drove the brigade's tractor to the city hospital.

When Xu Yaozu and the others arrived, Xu Xinning and her two children were already asleep in the ward.

Yang Chunqin, still bearing the marks of everyday life, arrived at Xu Xinning and the two children's side, tears streaming down her face.

Xu Yaozu: "Why are you crying? The child is fine. He gave us two grandchildren!"

Yang Chunqin wiped away her tears and said, "I'm happy. Our little girl is just too sensible, always thinking of others. How could she not have thought about how dangerous childbirth is? If something had happened, how would I have lived?"

Xu Yaozu coaxed softly, "Nannan herself is a miracle doctor. She must know her own condition before making this decision. You can distrust everyone, but why don't you even trust Nannan?"

Yang Chunqin: "I know, but I just feel sorry for her. We left in a hurry and didn't bring her any food. She must have been very hungry after giving birth."

Mu Jingheng immediately interjected, "Mom, don't worry, I've already borrowed the hospital cafeteria to make soup for Xin'er."

Xu Xialian squatted down to look at the two children and exclaimed, "These two children are so handsome! Which one is older?"

Mu Jingheng: "The older sister was born first, and the younger brother was born five minutes later."

Xu Xialian continued, "She gave birth quite quickly; the baby girl is very lucky."

The two children seemed to sense that someone was watching them. The older sister started to wriggle and squirm, and as soon as she moved, the younger brother moved too.

Xu Xialian immediately went to check their diapers, and sure enough, they were all wet.

Xu Xialian immediately helped change the diaper.

Yang Chunqin saw this and came to help.

Xu Yaozu smiled and leaned closer to look, wanting to hug her after the diaper was changed.

This was the first time Xu Xialian had seen her older brother like this, so she picked up her sister and handed her to Xu Yaozu, saying, "Big brother, come and hug your sister."

Xu Yaozu wiped his hands on his pants before reaching out to take the child.

After taking the child, I froze, unsure of what to do.

Xu Xialian gestured as she spoke, "Brother, you can just put the child on your arm like this."

Seeing Xu Yaozu's flustered state, Yang Chunqin teased, "It's only been ten years, how come you've already forgotten how to hold a child? It seems you haven't held children enough in the past, Xu Laosan."

Xu Xialian asked curiously, "Did my older brother often hold the baby before?"

Yang Chunqin: "Zexi and Lao San are alright. As for Nannan, he holds her in his arms whenever he has time. Nannan is quite big now, and he won't let her get off the ground as long as he's home. He carries Nannan around and shows her off whenever he has free time."

Xu Xialian couldn't believe Xu Yaozu had this side to him, and said with a smile, "Now that you have a little girl, it looks like you can't escape your brother's boasting."

Xu Yaozu looked at the little figure in his hand and chuckled.

Yang Chunqin and Xu Xialian looked after the child for a while, then had Mu Jingheng take him to the hospital cafeteria.

They were all young men, and Yang Chunqin and Xu Xialian didn't have high hopes for their cooking skills.

Sure enough, when Yang Chunqin and Xu Xialian arrived, Xiao Ning and the other young men were all in a flurry of activity, chopping pig's trotters everywhere, but they chopped them very finely, into small pieces.

Not only were there pig's trotters, but there was also a large pot of brown sugar and eggs on the side. However, it seemed that too much brown sugar had been added, as the whole pot looked dark and murky.

When the group saw Yang Chunqin and Xu Xialian, they all scratched their heads sheepishly.

The two added some water to the brown sugar and eggs, boiled it, and then shared it with the young men. Yang Chunqin then made another bowl.

Fortunately, the hospital cafeteria had enough ingredients, otherwise there wouldn't have been enough eggs for several people to cook.

The canteen cooks only came over when they saw two women arrive.

"You must be family members of the new mother too. These young men are really nice. I offered to help them, but they didn't trust me and insisted on doing it themselves. Haha, their intentions are good, but they still need to practice their cooking skills."

Actually, Xiao Ning and the others had no choice. Enemy agents were everywhere, and if they tampered with Xu Xinning's food and caused a disturbance, it would be no joke if they kidnapped Xu Xinning.

Yang Chunqin said with a smile, "They're all rough men, it's already good enough if they can cook it well, they wouldn't care about the taste."

The cook continued, "They're all soldiers, right?"

Xiao Ning and the others suddenly became serious.

The chef also sensed the change in Xiao Ning and the others' aura and immediately said, "I used to be a soldier, and I could tell just by looking at their every move."

Mu Jingheng immediately probed, "Where did you serve in the army before, Uncle?"

The cook said, "The troops on this small island were sent to the battlefield shortly after I joined the army. I was full of enthusiasm when I went, but my legs went weak soon after I arrived. Later, because my cooking skills were pretty good, I was transferred to be a cook."

Yang Chunqin asked curiously, "So you learned your cooking skills in the army?"

Cook: "I guess so! On the battlefield, we ate whatever we could find. When we ran out of food, we cooks would go looking for wild vegetables. One time, while looking for wild vegetables, we accidentally wandered into an enemy minefield. If it weren't for good luck, I wouldn't have the chance to talk to you all right now."

Yang Chunqin: "They were really lucky."

The chef said, "That's right. But I was too badly injured and was sent to the rear to rest for a long time. That's where I met my master and learned a few skills from him. After the war, I was discharged from the army and assigned here. I've been working here for so many years."

Yang Chunqin: "You are all the most lovable people."

The chef laughed heartily: "Yes! They're all the most adorable people!"

The chef's eyes suddenly welled up with tears as he thought of his comrades who had never returned from the battlefield.

Even though so many years have passed, I still often dream of those scenes and the bloodied faces of my comrades when I sleep at night.

Those who come back alive are lucky, but some are unlucky.

A few years ago, he accidentally encountered a man who had been sent to the countryside. The man was dressed in tattered clothes in the dead of winter and was lying in a filthy place, almost dying. For some reason, he was particularly kind that day and went over to take a closer look. He was almost shocked to his core because the man was a very powerful commander from their war days.

After recognizing the man, he used his connections to take care of him.

The person was saved, but the damage caused is irreparable.

Fortunately, it's all over now, and the leader has been exonerated.

With his military connections, it was much easier to borrow the kitchen. However, Mu Jingheng didn't use the kitchen for free; he paid the hospital's logistics department with cash for all the ingredients and seasonings he used.

Grandma Xu and Grandpa Xu arrived at the hospital the next day. As soon as they arrived, they kept wiping away tears, just like Yang Chunqin had when she first arrived. They both felt that they had let Xu Xinning down.
