Chapter 344 Thank you
Zhou Xiye had a very novel experience. He realized that children are so active. They can't speak, but they can express their emotions by babbling.
They love to laugh; just looking at them makes them giggle nonstop.
When Shang Shang smiles with her eyes crinkled, she looks exactly like Jiang Zhizhi.
When Xiao Zhou smiles, she looks a bit like Jiang Zhizhi, both mischievous and pretty.
Zhou Xiye found it amazing and it took him half an hour to fully accept the fact that he had two children.
I can suddenly understand why Zhang Zhao is so proud of taking his son's photo around and showing it to people.
Within half an hour, Shang Shang had become attached to Zhou Xiye and wanted him to hold her, while Xiao Zhouji still couldn't accept his father. She would just look at him and laugh, but wouldn't allow him to hold her.
Zhou Xiye looked at Shang Shang, who was practically a miniature version of Jiang Zhizhi, and asked in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Zhizhi... did you suffer a lot when you gave birth to them?"
Fang Hua glanced at him: "Giving birth is like going through hell for a woman, let alone Zhizhi having twins. It must be tough for her. But don't worry, we're here to take good care of Zhizhi."
"Regarding the baby, at first we thought that since you had just returned, we didn't want to distract you. But then we thought we'd tell you that you couldn't come back either. The due date was originally in October, but because it was twins, it was premature."
“You’ll be busy with war preparations in October, so you definitely won’t be able to come back. Zhizhi said she didn’t want to tell you, so you wouldn’t worry. We’ve all decided that we’ll bring the kids to visit you when it gets a little warmer.”
As she spoke, she didn't know why, but tears welled up in her eyes again.
Zhou Xiye's eyes reddened again. He didn't know what to say and kept repeating, "You should have told me."
As if sensing her father's feelings, Shang Shang took his arm and tried to stand up.
Seeing Zhou Xiye's flustered state, Zhou Chengyu reached out to help Shang Shang stand on Zhou Xiye's lap: "Hold her waist, she'll bounce around, you have to go with her momentum."
The little girl stood on Zhou Xiye's lap, squatting and rising intermittently, her little mouth constantly chuckling and babbling.
Zhou Xiye focused on supporting Shang Shang, watching her hopping around with difficulty, and wondered if she was tired.
Just then, the little girl suddenly pounced over, planted a kiss on Zhou Xiye's cheek, and then giggled.
Zhou Xiye was stunned for a moment, then the little girl pouted and came over, giving him a big kiss.
Zhou Chengyu laughed heartily from the side: "It seems that Shangshang really likes her father? Our Shangshang usually doesn't like relatives, and she doesn't let others kiss her either."
This little girl may be small, but she's very picky. People she likes can kiss her, but if she doesn't like someone, she'll glare at them and get angry in a cute but fierce way.
...
After the Spring Festival, Jiang Zhizhi stayed at the main hospital for the time being, while the other classmates were assigned to various hospitals.
Jiang Zhizhi didn't notice where Jiang Donghua went. She had originally planned to apply to work at Zhou Xiye's unit in June, but now she was hesitant.
The two children are still young; will they be able to adapt if we bring them over? Also, is Fang Hua's health suitable for the trip?
With the help of Zhou Chengyu and Shang Shiying in the compound, and a nanny at home, the uncles, aunts, and other relatives in the compound could also lend a hand, so taking care of the child wasn't tiring.
But if she takes the children to see Zhou Xiye, only Fang Hua can go with her. She will be busy with work, and it will be tiring for Fang Hua to take care of the two children.
At that time, Xiao Zhouji and Shangshang were learning to walk, which was the most tiring time, and Fang Hua definitely couldn't take care of them all by himself.
Therefore, Jiang Zhizhi kept hesitating. Should she leave the child in Beijing and go there herself? Should she wait until she could help Zhou Xiye get through that ordeal?
During this time, whenever she had free time, Jiang Zhizhi would think about this problem. The more she thought about it, the more troublesome it seemed. She couldn't bear to be separated from her two children. Now, as long as she saw her two children every day, she would instantly feel happy.
Especially when she gets home, the way her two little ones reach out for a hug is enough to melt her heart.
So how could she bear to leave them in Beijing?
Similarly, she couldn't let go of Zhou Xiye. As the day of Zhou Xiye's sacrifice in her previous life drew closer, her heart grew increasingly anxious.
Sensitive to the situation, she had long realized that Zhou Xiye and his men's sudden rotation to the northwest frontier was not a routine rotation.
Because she was distracted, she didn't hear someone knocking on the door. The nurse knocked on the door again, louder: "Dr. Jiang, someone is looking for you outside."
Jiang Zhizhi snapped out of her daze, responded, quickly gathered the documents on the table, and got up to leave.
She was still wondering, since she had been helping out in the operating room recently, who would come to the hospital to look for her?
As I came out of the inpatient building, I saw Zhou Xiye holding his daughter and standing under the weeping willows by the garden.
Spring is in full bloom, and the tender new buds of willows are unfurling.
Zhou Xiye stood under the tree, dappled sunlight falling on him and the child, creating a dreamlike, unreal scene.
Jiang Zhizhi was stunned for a while, blinked, and then believed that it really was Zhou Xiye who had returned.
With a smile in her eyes, she jogged towards Zhou Xiye.
Zhou Xiye carried his daughter, with a cloth bag slung over his shoulder. Jiang Zhizhi, who seemed to have changed yet remained the same, jogged towards him. The spring breeze lifted the hem of her white coat, making it flutter lightly and gracefully.
Jiang Zhizhi ran excitedly to Zhou Xiye. Before she could even speak, Shang Shang stretched out her little hands, wanting her mother to hug her, and cried out.
Jiang Zhizhi could only suppress her excitement, reach out and hug her daughter first, kissing her on the cheek. The little girl giggled, and then she asked Zhou Xiye, "When did you get back?"
Zhou Xiye's gaze calmly fell on Jiang Zhizhi. In more than a year, her appearance had not changed much. She was still bright and radiant, but there was a touch more gentleness in her eyes. When she skillfully held Shangshang, she exuded an unconscious tenderness.
A wave of sadness washed over me: "Zhizhi, I'm sorry."
Jiang Zhizhi looked at Zhou Xiye in surprise, then couldn't help but laugh: "Why are you suddenly apologizing? Did you do something to betray me outside?"
Zhou Xiye sighed helplessly, knowing that Jiang Zhizhi was good at ruining moods: "Zhizhi..."
Jiang Zhizhi handed her daughter to him again: "Alright, alright, as long as you don't blame me for secretly having two children, that's fine. When did you come back?"
She tried hard to suppress her excitement and the urge to throw herself into his arms.
Try to greet him calmly, after all, this is a hospital and there are too many people coming and going.
But when she opened her mouth, her voice trembled uncontrollably, carrying a hint of sobbing and grievance.
She didn't know why, but upon seeing Zhou Xiye, an inexplicable sense of grievance welled up uncontrollably, and she couldn't suppress it at all.
Holding his daughter in one arm, Zhou Xiye looked at Jiang Zhizhi, whose eyes were red but who was still trying to smile. He raised his free hand and hugged her tightly, saying, "Zhizhi, thank you."
