After we finish eating these dumplings, 1973 will be over, and a new year will begin!
I received a letter from my brother-in-law saying that their group wedding is scheduled for the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
Yu Yin looked down at her enormous belly, which she could no longer see her toes.
Yu Yin regretfully missed her brother's wedding.
When Yu Yin returned from Shanghai, she was planning to go to Beijing to attend the wedding and see the capital city of that era when her brother got married.
I'll find another opportunity to sell another batch of supplies... Sigh... The plan remains unchanged. I'll just stay home and pat my round belly.
They ate dumplings on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the second and third days have passed. They even ate dumplings on the fifth day, but Yu Yin's stomach still hasn't shown any signs of pregnancy. The two little ones are really patient.
Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year!
"Shurui, what do you think their group wedding will be like? Will there be a lot of people? I wonder if my dad and the others have met the Bai family yet? I really want to go..."
Yu Yin was a little anxious today, perhaps because she was about to give birth or because she couldn't attend her brother's wedding.
Lu Shurui gently touched Yu Yin's belly. "Don't worry, everything will go smoothly for your wedding! Although it's a pity, I'd rather see you have a safe delivery." His gentle yet firm words calmed Yu Yin down a little.
In the auditorium of a military unit in Kyoto, although there were no decorations, it was cleaned up and looked brand new.
The skillful soldiers also cut out many red "double happiness" characters and pasted them on the windows and doors, instantly creating a festive atmosphere.
The ten couples participating in the group wedding were dressed in green military uniforms, wearing military caps, and with small red flowers pinned to their chests.
Nervousness, excitement, exhilaration—a variety of emotions played out on their faces.
The military leaders read a passage from the Little Red Book on the stage, and the ten couples made their vows of marriage under the national flag. They then bowed three times to the portrait of the great man, and the wedding ceremony was completed.
Although this wedding was unlike those of later generations, which were filled with flowers, dazzling lights, and a lavish lineup, it looked rather simple and unpretentious.
But from this moment on, married people understand the responsibilities and obligations they will bear, gradually comprehend the true meaning of marriage, and walk hand in hand through the ups and downs of life, never giving up or abandoning each other!
While Bian Yu's wedding was in full swing, Yu Yin started running to the toilet repeatedly. Her stomach was also feeling a little uncomfortable, and she knew that she was going into labor.
"Shu Rui, Lu Shu Rui..." Yu Yin shouted Lu Shu Rui's name again after coming out of the toilet.
"Yinyin, what's wrong? Are you about to give birth?" Lu Shurui rushed over and asked anxiously.
"Hmm, I think I'm about to give birth. You go next door first and let Ping An and An stay there. Then we'll go to the hospital." After giving these instructions, Yu Yin leaned against the wall to catch her breath.
Lu Shurui quickly ran next door and told Su Yixian that Yu Yin was about to give birth and asked them to help take care of her so that she could be safe and sound. After saying that, he ran back.
After helping Yu Yin onto the prepared cart, taking the things she needed for childbirth that had been packed beforehand, and closing the door, they were ready to leave for the hospital. At this moment, Chu Jianguo from next door also arrived, and the two of them pushed Yu Yin towards the hospital together.
After examining her, Dr. Lin said everything was normal. She was only three centimeters dilated and would have to wait a while. He suggested that Yu Yin walk around on the floor to help with labor.
"Xiao Lu, you stay here with Yu Yin for now. I'll go back and get your sister Su here. I can't really help much here." Chu Jianguo felt that his wife had to come over. He didn't know what she could do, and it wasn't convenient for her.
"Thank you for your help, Brother Chu. I'll also need your help taking care of Ping'an and An'an these next few days." At this moment, Lu Shurui realized that they were short-handed!
"Alright, stop being so polite with us. I'm going back now. I'll have your Sister Su come over later." Chu Jianguo left, and Lu Shurui helped Yu Yin walk slowly.
A short while later, Su Yixian came over with a lunchbox of brown sugar and eggs, urging Yu Yin to eat a few bites quickly so she would have the strength to give birth.
Yu Yin didn't stand on ceremony. She took Yi Xian's hand and ate several eggs in big bites, and drank a few mouthfuls of soup. Feeling that she had food in her stomach, Yu Yin was pushed into the delivery room a short while later.
Lu Shurui paced anxiously outside the delivery room. This time, without his mother's nagging, he felt a little uneasy.
Speaking of Yu's mother, it's hard to know what to say.
I had previously refused to go to Kyoto for Yu Xiaoge's wedding, but a few days before the trip, I changed my mind and decided to go. As a result, the three of us set off in a hurry.
Yu Yin was still worried that when her mother arrived in Kyoto, she would dislike everything and find fault with everything, ruining her brother's happy occasion.
Su Yixian looked at Lu Shurui, who was spinning around in circles, and didn't say anything to comfort him. She could only feel at ease after Yu Yin gave birth safely.
"Waaaah...waaaah..."
At that moment, Lu Shurui found the baby's cries to be so beautiful!
"Little Lu, Little Lu, Yu Yin has given birth! That was fast!" Su Yixian was overjoyed and anxiously looked at the delivery room door.
The first baby came out smoothly, and the second one will be here soon.
But he waited and waited, and still no one came. Now, Lu Shurui was getting anxious. He started pacing in circles again, sweat pouring down his face.
A while had passed since the first child cried, but there was still no sound of the second child crying, and Lu Shurui's heart jumped.
She muttered to herself, "Why isn't she crying anymore? She should be coming out by now; it's been almost half an hour." Anxiously, she pressed her face against the delivery room door, trying to see something through the crack.
Even though I know I can't see anything, only in this way can I feel at ease.
Time passed slowly, and Lu Shurui felt it was taking forever; they still hadn't come out.
Just as Lu Shurui was frantically pulling his hair into a mess, thinking he'd burst in if the baby didn't come out soon, another cry came from the delivery room. Just one, no more. And this was exactly two hours after the last cry.
Lu Shurui's heart, which had just settled, clenched again. Why isn't she crying anymore? What's going on...?
No matter how worried Lu Shurui was outside, the newborn baby girl in the delivery room was chubby and looked very healthy.
"Aunt Lin, are you alright? Did you hold it in?" Yu Yin's face was covered in sweat, and her hair was wet.
"Don't worry, everything's fine, you're very healthy." Dr. Lin's words reassured Yu Yin, and she drifted off to sleep peacefully.
Lu Shurui stood anxiously at the door, really wanting to go in and see what was going on.
"Yu Yin's family, please take the mother and child." The door opened, and Yu Yin was wheeled out while lying on the bed.
"How is my wife?" Lu Shurui asked anxiously.
"It's nothing, she was just tired and fell asleep," the nurse replied with a smile.
"They're twins, a boy and a girl. The boy came out first, and the girl is more mature." The nurse pointed to the two swaddled babies lying side by side at the foot of Yu Yin's bed.
Lu Shurui looked at the mother and her two children, who were fast asleep, and smiled!
