"Mom, why do you carry so many things?"
When Qin An Ning met the person at the train station, he didn't know what to say.
Wang Qiufen was carrying an enormous bag on her back, carefully holding a large rectangular basket in her left hand, and a cage in her right hand. The chickens inside flapped their wings from time to time, as if protesting against being locked in the cage.
"Hey, Ningning, why did you come to pick me up? Watch out for your stomach." Wang Qiufen hurried over and glared at Lu Cheng. "Why are you so ignorant? Why did you bring Ningning here?"
"Mom, I'm fine. The doctor said walking around more will help with delivery." Qin An Ning comforted with a smile.
"You can't come here, there are so many people here, what if they bump into you?" Wang Qiufen supported Qin An Ning and kept reminding her, "Walk slowly and be careful with your steps."
After getting in the car, Wang Qiufen felt a little relieved, but she started thinking about the basket again. "Lao Wu, hold on to that basket. It's full of eggs for Ningning. Don't break them."
Knowing that this was Wang Qiufen's intention, Lu Cheng could only hold the basket carefully in his arms, as if he were holding a rare treasure.
When they got home, Wang Qiufen couldn't wait to open the package and show Qin Anning the items one by one. "These are the clothes your third sister made for the babies. This is the quilt your second sister-in-law prepared. There are also some clothes and diapers that Qingqing and Hehe used to wear when they were little. I picked out the good ones, washed them, and brought them here..."
Lu Cheng felt a little disgusted when he saw those patched old clothes. Given their financial situation, was it necessary for their children to wear patched clothes?
"Mom, we're all ready. We need everything. Why did you bother carrying it all the way here?"
Wang Qiufen glared at Lu Cheng and said, "What do you know? Children's urine holes are shallow, and they splash out every now and then. And there are two of you, so you'll need a lot of things."
Qin Anning secretly poked Lu Cheng. They were used to being frugal in the countryside, and Wang Qiufen had done this with good intentions, so there was no need to say hurtful words.
She quickly changed the subject, "Mom, you must be exhausted from the car ride. Stop busying yourself and sit down and take a rest."
Wang Qiufen said earnestly, "I know you two are well-off, but aren't cloth coupons limited? By the time the two children are born, we'll be in trouble if we don't have enough supplies.
I brought these old clothes here. If I can use them, I’ll use them. If I can’t use them, it’s okay to leave them there. It’s better than having nothing when I need them.”
Qin An Ning tried to make amends for Lu Cheng, "Mom, don't worry about Lu Cheng. He's just a first-time dad, and he's so happy he's lost himself. He wants the best for his child, and he doesn't seem to be showing any disdain."
"Hmph, Ningning, you don't have to say anything good for him. How could I not know what my own child is like? He just dislikes old things." Wang Qiufen glanced at Lu Cheng again. Couldn't she see his little thoughts?
After receiving several cold stares, Lu Cheng jokingly squeezed over to Wang Qiufen and tried to deceive her, "Mom, I finally had these two children. They are my only two children in this life. Don't you think I should give them the best of everything?"
When Wang Qiufen thought about her son's injury, the anger in her heart disappeared without a trace.
Her youngest son has been married for several years, and the couple finally got pregnant with a child. What else is there for her to worry about?
"Go aside!" Although Wang Qiufen's words were harsh, her hands moved very lightly. She just pushed Lu Cheng's head aside gently without really using any force.
Qin Anning watched helplessly as Lu Cheng changed Wang Qiufen's attitude with just one sentence, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
He has been using the excuse of being unable to have children for several years, and now he is using this excuse to deceive his mother. If this is exposed one day, Wang Qiufen will break his legs!
Qin Anning glanced at Lu Cheng's long legs and smiled unkindly.
Since the twins were very likely to be born prematurely, Qin Anning was admitted to the hospital in advance for safety reasons.
This was also the first time that Qin Zhen used his power to arrange a single ward for Qin An Ning to give birth, and he also specially invited the director of obstetrics to take care of her personally.
Qin Anning stayed in the hospital for two days, but there was no movement in her stomach. She felt a little embarrassed. Isn't this a waste of resources?
However, to express her apology, she asked Lu Cheng to buy two large watermelons, cut them into small pieces and distribute them to the medical staff.
She was staying in a military hospital. Not only had Qin Zhen given instructions, but the higher-ups had also called and instructed her to take good care of Qin An Ning.
So the doctors and nurses are very nice and often come to ask about her condition.
On the third night, Qin An Ning suddenly felt something was wrong and her stomach was aching. Lu Cheng quickly ran out to call a doctor to check on the situation.
"You've just started having labor pains, and this is your first baby, so you definitely won't give birth so soon." After a careful examination, the doctor simply gave them a few words of advice and had no other better solutions.
Since her fetus was in the right position and she could give birth naturally, Qin An Ning did not want to choose a caesarean section.
The conditions for production are not yet in place, so we can only continue to wait.
Unexpectedly, this ordeal lasted a whole night. When the doctor came to check at dawn, the cervix was only two fingers dilated. "Try to move around as much as possible, which can speed up the delivery process."
In this situation, there was no other way, so Lu Cheng had to support Qin An Ning and walk back and forth in the corridor.
Whenever the pain came, Qin An Ning would grab Lu Cheng's arm and squeeze it hard involuntarily, so hard that Lu Cheng even felt that his bones were about to break, but he didn't even make a sound.
His wife had to go through level 12 pain to give birth to the child safely. Compared to that, his pain was nothing!
Qin Anning could only reluctantly eat a few bites of the breakfast brought by the Cheng family. He really couldn't eat it anymore.
Shu Ran persuaded softly, "Ningning, even if you can't eat anymore, you must try to eat more, otherwise you won't have the strength to give birth later."
The family members were very worried, so Qin An Ning had to force herself to eat a few more bites.
At around 1:00 p.m., her cervix had dilated to eight fingers before she was pushed into the delivery room.
Qin An Ning felt as if she had been torn apart by five horses, and her waist was almost torn apart. Finally, when she was exhausted, the two babies were born one after another, 7 minutes apart.
"Congratulations! They're twins, a boy and a girl. Both babies are very healthy. The eldest is a boy weighing 5 kilograms, and the second is a girl weighing 4.8 jins."
The doctor held the children for Qin An Ning to see. Perhaps because of her mother's filter, she felt that the two little guys were delicate and fair, and tender, not at all like other newborns who looked like red-skinned monkeys.
Although she was physically tired, she was mentally excited. She stared at the two children intently, unwilling to take her eyes off them for a moment.
When he was pushed out of the delivery room, Lu Cheng rushed to the bedside, his eyes red, and asked anxiously, "Wife, how are you?"
Qin Anning smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine!"
