At that moment, the man was content as long as his wife was safe and sound.
Luo Jingyan looked outside: "Where are the children? Where are our children? I want to see them properly."
Qin Zhenzhen, Grandma Xue, and Qiu Aizhen brought the children in again. Luo Jingyan felt a warmth in her heart when she saw the three little ones sleeping in their swaddling clothes. Having them made all the suffering worthwhile.
After Luo Jingyan had rested enough, Xue Yanchen carried her to the maternity ward.
Xue's mother brought her a bowl of millet porridge with brown sugar and eggs. Xue Yanchen took it and fed it to her.
After making sure his wife was completely settled, the man went to hug his child.
Starting with the eldest child, under Xue's mother's guidance, he carefully held his little darling. As he held the pink and cuddly little bundle, he chuckled as he looked at his daughter in his arms, looking somewhat silly. This reminded Luo Jingyan of when he had just found out she was pregnant; he seemed to have had a similar expression.
After holding his daughter for a while, Grandma Xue handed the second child to him. This time, he held him carefully as always, and his expression did not change, but he scolded the second child: "You brat, your mother suffered so much to give birth to you."
After hugging the second child, he hugged the third. This time, before he could even start scolding, the third child opened his eyes, his dark, round eyes staring straight at him, making him unable to scold. Instead, he smiled and said, "Son, are you looking at Dad? Dad and Mom have finally been waiting for you to come out."
Second child: You stinky poop, we're still so young, and you're already showing favoritism.
The second child started crying, and Grandma Xue said, "It's all your fault for scolding the child. You made the child cry. Hurry up and comfort the child."
Xue Yanchen handed the third child to Qin Zhenzhen and quickly went to comfort the second child. The second child was held by his father for a while before he stopped crying.
Giving birth to triplets is too taxing on the body, and Luo Jingyan will have to stay in the hospital for two more days before she can be discharged.
Because the mother had just given birth, she didn't have any milk. So, Xue's mother made formula for the children. It was the first time the little ones had ever drunk milk, and they didn't even need to learn how to bite the nipple and suck the milk from the bottle.
In order to help the pregnant woman produce milk as soon as possible, the doctor suggested that the babies help Luo Jingyan produce milk. Before the milk comes in, the babies should continue to drink formula.
That same evening, something similar happened in the military region.
Zhou Pingyuan was arrested, and Zhuang Feifei was not spared either.
In fact, while Zhou Pingyuan was working as a spy abroad, he had already been turned by the enemy and had been operating as a double agent between the two sides.
This time, they returned specifically to help the enemy obtain intelligence about our side.
The higher-ups had long been aware of his intentions. He was arrested while helping the enemy pass on intelligence, along with Zhuang Feifei, who, as Zhou Pingyuan's bedmate, had inadvertently helped him steal and pass on intelligence. Both of them were sent to a military court.
At this moment, Zhuang Feifei could only shed tears of regret. She had been too ambitious and had been scheming and plotting, but she never expected to have gotten herself into trouble.
Luo Jingyan and Xue Yanchen's three children still need to be named. Since they are still young, the family has decided to give them nicknames first and then formal names when they grow up.
Luo Jingyan thought her daughter was soft and sweet, so she nicknamed her Nuonuo. Xue Yanchen gave her two sons nicknames: Pingping for the second son and An'an for the third son, meaning peace and smooth sailing.
Two days later, Luo Jingyan and the children were discharged from the hospital. The three children were placed on the bed one by one, and when Luo Jingyan lay down, there was no longer any room for Xue Yanchen.
Xue Yanchen then went to a carpenter to make another bed, which he placed on the other side of the room so he could sleep alone.
Luo Jingyan asked Xue Yanchen to send a telegram to her parents in Jilin Province whenever she had time to tell them about her successful delivery, so as not to worry them.
After the three little ones drank from bottles for more than a day, Luo Jingyan's milk came in. Both Xue's mother and grandmother were worried that with so many babies, there wouldn't be enough milk for them.
But they all underestimated Luo Jingyan. With the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, Luo Jingyan could feed her children as much as they wanted. The three little ones often drank milk until they burped.
Of course, Xue's mother and grandmother often prepared meals to help her produce milk, such as soybean and pig's trotter soup, crucian carp and tofu soup, and free-range chicken soup. In short, they would make whatever could both nourish the body and help with lactation.
As her postpartum period was drawing to a close, Luo Jingyan felt that she had gained weight. Of course, during this month, the three children also changed from being bruised and wrinkled to becoming chubby little bundles of white flesh.
When the children had their one-month celebration, there were even more guests than when Luo Jingyan and Xue Yanchen got married. The three children earned three sets of wedding gifts, and the little ones were all smiling, their clear voices warming everyone's hearts.
Compared to the incredibly lively atmosphere of the birthday party on this side, Xue Ningnan on the other side felt rather lonely and desolate.
When she learned that Xue Yanchen and Luo Jingyan had a child and wanted to visit them, Old Mrs. Xue came to find her in advance and reminded her not to go to Luo Jingyan's place. On their happy day, she could only stay at home alone and feel sullen.
It was the twelfth lunar month, and she was covered with two thick quilts, but she still felt cold.
When Song Qingsong returned home from get off work that evening, he found her lying listlessly on the bed. When he touched her forehead, he discovered she had a fever.
"Ning Nan, don't you know you have a fever?"
Xue Ningnan was still dazed and shook her head without saying a word.
"Get up, I'll take you to the hospital to get checked out."
Xue Ningnan felt weak all over and didn't want to move, but Song Qingsong forcibly pulled her up and helped her to the hospital.
