Zhang Shouyi forced a smile.

"Brother Zhang, you'd better stop laughing, it's too scary."

"Hehe, how could that be?" Zhang Shouyi had never been so afraid or nervous before.

The old lady came in, saw that the young couple were getting along well, and then left.

The whole family is on standby now, and everyone is very nervous.

Zhang Shouyi had already arranged for a doctor and originally wanted them to stay there while he waited, but Zhang Hongmei disagreed.

“Brother Zhang, I’m just starting to have an attack, but the doctor will arrive in time. Besides, the ultrasound has already been done, and the baby is fine. I can give birth.”

"I don't believe it, I'm scared!"

Zhang Hongmei rolled her eyes at him. "Don't be nervous in front of me!"

"Yes, I'm not nervous, not nervous!" Although he said this, his hand stroking his belly was trembling slightly.

"You're affecting me by going to work," Zhang Hongmei finally couldn't take it anymore. This guy was way too anxious.

"Honey, how about we go stay at the hospital?"

"I've already said it, no need, it's safe at home. Also, do you want to be with me when I give birth?"

"Yes, I definitely want to. I don't trust anyone. I can't hand you over to someone else."

“You have Grandma. Just give her the spring water and let her feed me. I’m afraid you’ll see my ugly side.”

"Wife, you're not ugly. You'll always be the most beautiful in my heart. I don't trust anyone else, wife!"

"The older generation says it's bad luck for men to go into the delivery room."

"I'm not afraid. How bad could it be?"

"Brother Zhang, just listen to me and wait outside, okay?"

"Hongmei, don't be willful, I can't do it."

"But the room is only so big? There's no room for you."

“I’ll sit right next to you, I won’t move, really.”

The two had repeated this conversation at least ten times. But Zhang Hongmei just couldn't change Zhang Shouyi's mind.

Fine, that's it. Whatever.

September 1st passed just like that, and on the morning of the 2nd, Liu Jingsong asked the same questions again. Gu Chuanming listened from the side, actually so nervous that he couldn't sleep at night.

"Jingsong, go to school."

"Grandpa, you're holding your chopsticks upside down."

Gu Chuanming glanced at it. It hadn't been adjusted; it was used as is. He ate a bowl of porridge without tasting it.

In the evening, after dinner, Zhang Shouyi massaged Zhang Hongmei's legs, which made her feel much better.

"Brother Zhang, please call Aunt Yang and the others in. I think I'm about to give birth."

Zhang Shouyi bounced up as if he had been pricked in the hand.

Aunt Yang and the others had been outside, but upon hearing Zhang Hongmei's words, they immediately pushed open the door and came in.

"Your water has broken, you're going into labor. Let me help you up, and we'll tidy up the bed."

Lu Jing has already made the call; the doctor will arrive within fifteen minutes.

Wang Xiaoshun also drove to pick up Dr. Sun. They were all worried about him.

I don't feel anything right now, but my stomach is definitely aching in waves, though I can still bear the pain.

After making the bed, Zhang Shouyi helped Zhang Hongmei lie down.

Seeing the beads of sweat on his wife's forehead, he leaned close to her ear and said, "Wife, would you like some water?"

"Hmm, I'm fine, don't be so nervous. It'll be a while before you give birth," Zhang Hongmei said, speechless at Zhang Shouyi's pale face. It was her giving birth, but it felt like he was the one doing it?

"Are we still waiting?"

"You think this is about laying eggs?"

Zhang Hongmei drank a glass of water and felt much better.

Zhang Shouyi simply went outside and brought out the pot of water that he and his wife had prepared in advance, which they had placed on the bedside table. He sat to one side, ready to pour water for his wife at any time.

The sound of footsteps in the living room increased; the doctors were arriving.

A few days ago, we specially cleaned out the living room for the doctor to disinfect and rest.

Everything was ready. Zhang Hongmei also felt intense pain.

The doctors came in. Seeing Zhang Shouyi sitting at the head of the bed, they all gritted their teeth. But no one dared to tell him to leave.

The old lady sat on the other side, and with these two experts in charge, the doctors felt their hands tremble a little.

A doctor undressed Zhang Hongmei and covered her with a sterilized sheet.

How are you feeling now?

Zhang Hongmei nodded, "The pain is more frequent now. But it's not too painful."

Zhang Shouyi stood to the side, holding a towel to wipe his wife's sweat.

When he saw the doctor reach out to touch his wife's lower body, he immediately glared at him. The doctor trembled in fright, but he knew he had to get his wife to give birth as soon as possible.

The two midwives and Su Chen were on the side.

Looking at the room full of people, Zhang Hongmei felt like laughing.

The delivery went very smoothly. None of the doctors, including the midwives, had expected it to be like this.

At 1:05 a.m., the first baby was successfully delivered from the mother's womb.

"It's a boy, weighing exactly five pounds."

The pediatrician next to them took the child, quickly bathed him, and treated the umbilical cord. Then he wrapped the child up and handed him to the elderly woman beside him.

Others wanted to take it, but seeing the old man reach out his hand, everyone withdrew their hands. No one dared to compete.

Zhang Shouyi fed his wife a cup of water and felt that her hand, which was gripping his hand, suddenly regained its strength.

Zhang Hongmei rested for almost an hour before the second wave of contractions began.

Zhang Shouyi saw that the veins on his wife's forehead were bulging, and he could feel the pain and force in her grip on his hand.

This child also had a very smooth experience.

"The second one is a boy, weighing five pounds and two ounces."

The old lady didn't take it, but Hu Aifen was right there. The second child was in her arms.

Seeing the baby crying with red cheeks and a furrowed brow, Hu Aifen felt her heart melt. The old lady sat to the side, took the baby, glanced at him, and placed him in the prepared crib, where he lay down next to his older brother.

Zhang Shouyi pursed his lips, said nothing, and handed his wife another glass of water.

Aunt Yang and the doctor both touched Zhang Hongmei's belly.

"Madam, would you like something to eat? This baby will probably have to wait a while; it hasn't entered the birth canal yet."

Zhang Hongmei shook her head; she had no appetite at all.

Zhang Xingguo pressed his ear against the door, sharing any developments with Gu Chuanming, who was pacing back and forth nearby.

"It's born! The first one weighs five pounds, and it's a boy."

Both of them laughed silently, and even Liu Jingsong, who was sitting to the side, did not laugh out loud.

"Why hasn't he been born yet? Wasn't the eldest already born?" Gu Chuanming started pacing again. Xiao Li and the other two in the living room were standing at the door, none of them daring to answer their leader's question.

"It's born! It's born! The second child is a boy, weighing 5.2 pounds."

"Hahaha, the heir of my Gu family has been born!" Gu Chuanming couldn't hold back any longer; his joy was countless times greater than winning a battle.

I realized I was being too loud, so I immediately stopped.
