Li Yanran had come all this way, bringing much more than just chicken soup. She brought everything she could. Looking at Shen Fenghua lying weakly on the hospital bed, Li Yanran felt a mix of emotions, wanting to both cry and laugh.
"Here you go, this is the old hen soup you specifically requested."
The broth, along with the tender, stewed chicken, was all poured into Shen Fenghua's mouth.
Watching Shen Fenghua eat happily, Li Yanran chattered on about what had happened recently, "Everything is fine at home, the children are going to school normally, and the factory knows that you gave birth to twins. The factory manager is very happy and said that when you go back, he will definitely give the children a big congratulatory gift."
As the two were talking, Li Yanran's eyes kept drifting towards the small bed next to her.
The children were asleep, raising their little fists in a gesture of surrender. Their wrinkled and reddish skin had faded slightly, making them look rather adorable.
Before Li Yanran could wait long, the child opened his eyes and began to cry out in a soft, delicate voice.
They're hungry.
Li Yanran was experienced in this. Even though she was a little clumsy at first, she quickly got the hang of it after holding her for a couple of times.
She skillfully picked up a child, took the milk that Qi Ye had prepared, and began to feed the child.
The child drank it with great gusto.
Shen Fenghua watched with envy, wanting to hold the baby and feed it, but Qi Ye righteously refused.
After all, having an incision in the abdomen is no joke.
As for holding a child...
Grandma had something to say about this: "Once you're out of confinement, you can hold the baby as you please, but not now. Women need to be extra careful during confinement."
If you don't take good care of yourself during postpartum recovery, you're more likely to develop postpartum illnesses, which can be a lifelong problem and should not be taken lightly.
Shen Fenghua is the kind of person who listens to advice the most.
Hearing this, he obediently lay down on the bed to rest.
After three days in the hospital, once Shen Fenghua was able to get out of bed and move around a little on her own, Qi Ye took her to stay at a guesthouse for another week. It wasn't that they couldn't afford to stay in the hospital, but there were just too many women giving birth these days.
Hospital beds were scarce, so the family was helped by the doctor to stay at a guesthouse.
It's really surreal to think about it. Who would have their postpartum confinement period in a guesthouse?
This is the first time since the beginning of time.
A little over a week later, the family of five was officially embarking on their journey home.
Shen Fenghua received a warm welcome. Gifts of all sizes from the steel factory almost filled the storage room. Of course, the brother and sister also received a warm welcome from the two brothers.
It has to be said that Shen Fenghua is formidable; the two brothers, one wanted a younger brother and the other wanted a younger sister.
Shen Fenghua remained silent until he made a stunning debut, and all his talents came together at once.
Now things are great, we have a younger brother and sister.
Just when Shen Fenghua thought the two brothers would rush to their younger siblings, she saw them both throw themselves down beside her bed, their eyes red as they looked at her.
"Mom, does your stomach hurt?"
Nianping was able to remain calm and composed, but Nian'an, the little crybaby, couldn't hold back when she saw Shen Fenghua. She whimpered and wiped away her tears, "Mom, does it hurt? Let me blow on it for you."
Shen Fenghua was on the verge of tears. Who says that raising a child is not as close as having a biological child?
If you take good care of them, they can be just as comforting.
"Mom doesn't feel any pain, so what? Have you been naughty while Mom and Dad have been away from home these past few days?"
This was not a sign of distrust towards Li Yanran's family, but rather Shen Fenghua's actions demonstrating to the children that even with two more babies in the family, she would still treat them the same as before.
There is no difference.
And this is just the beginning.
She will prove it with her actions.
Once Shen Fenghua has spoken, there's no going back. Many people living nearby are waiting to see her make a fool of herself—the contrast between an adopted child and a biological one…
There's not even a need for comparison.
They are waiting to see the day when Nianping and Nian'an become pitiful little things.
But they discovered that Nianping wore new shoes today, and Nian'an wore new clothes tomorrow. The final exams were just around the corner, and they found that the two boys had quietly tied for first place in the class.
Then look at the red lanterns on my own child's head.
Neighbor:"???"
The Joker is actually me?
As the two children grew up, they became increasingly beautiful, inheriting the best features of their parents. Whenever they were taken out, they were always the center of attention.
Then the maternal grandmother and the old man from the Xu family, who had been taking the child out for a stroll, became the darlings of the area. Whenever the two of them took the child out for a walk, they would inevitably be surrounded by crowds.
Life is getting better and better.
As the saying goes, "With unity of purpose, even Mount Tai can be moved." As long as people are united, how can life get worse and worse?
In the same year, the college entrance examination was reinstated. Shen Fenghua looked at the crowd who were crying with joy and couldn't help but have some tears in her eyes as well. However, she was already at this age, and it was somewhat unrealistic for her to take the exam again.
She remained a junior clerk in the purchasing department, and within three years became the head of the purchasing department.
Just when people thought Shen Fenghua would continue to follow the established path, the 1980s arrived, and the reform and opening up began.
After observing for a long time, Shen Fenghua took out her family's savings and had a long talk with Qi Ye all night. The next day, she resolutely sold her job.
The position of head of the procurement department could be sold for 1,200 yuan.
To everyone's astonishment, Shen Fenghua went into business.
She made great strides and quietly became a millionaire in her second year of business. From wholesaling and reselling clothes at the beginning to buying land and building factories later, Shen Fenghua took five years.
These five years, neither long nor short, have passed. Her two children are now eight or nine years old, the kind of age that cats and dogs hate, while Nianping and Nian'an have grown into big kids.
Seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys are at the peak of their physical development.
Returning to her old home, Shen Fenghua looked the same, only more confident. She drove her car and got out first, followed by her two brothers who carefully helped their grandmother out of the car. As for the twins, they had already run off and disappeared.
Qi Ye looked at the child, his face full of helplessness, "Are you still going to take care of him?"
Shen Fenghua shrugged. "I can't control it."
Grandma followed behind, her voice booming, "They're all just kids, why are you keeping them so restrained? They're all like caged cats."
"Meow!" A fat yellow cat jumped off the car and meowed at Grandma with some dissatisfaction. It was no longer agile and looked like an old cat.
Nianping calmly smiled upon hearing this, "Great-Grandma, please don't say anything more, or our Big Yellow will hold a grudge again."
Nian'an chuckled, "Great-Grandma, you're fine. I can beat Da Huang now."
Big Yellow wagged its tail and meowed!
Hahaha~
The two children in front turned around and said, "Great-Grandma, Dad, Mom, and Brother, come quick! There's a little kitten sitting at our door."
I didn't see the kitten, but I did see Li Yanran's whole family.
My loved ones, family, and friends are all by my side.
Shen Fenghua took Qi Ye's hand, and the two slowly walked over, ready to embrace a brighter tomorrow.
-The End-
