Auntie San didn't take it seriously. She had delivered so many children in Xiliu Village, none of them had any problems, and they all grew up well.
She thought Qian Hong and Xie Yan were making a fuss over nothing.
Seeing her expression, Qian Hong knew that the person didn't take it to heart, so she didn't say anything more. Anyway, her family would go to the hospital whenever possible; she wouldn't dare gamble with the lives of her daughter, daughter-in-law, and grandson.
An hour later, Yu Yue finally gave birth. Xie Yan was pacing anxiously outside the window, like an ant on a hot pan. He wanted to go in and check on the situation several times. Just when he was extremely anxious, he finally heard the baby's loud cry.
"Great, she's given birth."
Xie Yan's tense nerves finally relaxed, and she let out a long sigh of relief.
"Is it a younger brother or a younger sister?" Chaochao's clear voice suddenly rang out from beside Xie Yan, startling him so much that he almost jumped up.
Xie Yan looked down at Chaochao, his face full of surprise, "What are you doing here?"
Chaochao glared at her father with dissatisfaction, pouting. "I've always been here!"
It's just that her own father has never noticed her.
Xie Yan was slightly taken aback, a hint of embarrassment appearing on his face: "..." Hey, I really didn't notice this little girl.
Before the two could chat any further, Auntie San's loud voice suddenly rang out from inside the house, filled with surprise, "My goodness! They're twins!"
It's been many years since any twins (a boy and a girl) have been born in Xiliu Village.
Then, smiling, he teased Qian Hong, "You old hag, you're really lucky!"
Holding the child in her arms, Qian Hong's face was filled with a kind smile, her eyes brimming with relief and joy, and she softly replied, "Yes, who can say otherwise!"
Chaochao also heard the sounds from inside the house. Her eyes instantly lit up like two stars as she looked at Xie Yan with surprise and delight. "Dad, I have a younger brother or sister?"
Hahaha, now she not only has a younger sister, but also a younger brother.
She'll have younger siblings from now on!
Xie Yan smiled and nodded, his eyes eagerly peering through the window, trying to see what was happening inside.
Finally, as soon as the door opened, Xie Yan rushed into the room like an arrow released from a bow.
He skillfully dodged the children offered to him by several aunties and walked straight towards Yu Yuehui, his eyes full of concern.
After a careful examination, thankfully, Yu Yuehui was fine except for being a little pale and looking exhausted.
Yu Yue smiled weakly at him and said softly, "I'm fine, go and check on the child."
Xie Yan reluctantly turned his head to look at the children who had been placed next to Yu Yuehui. There were two more wrinkled little ones, just as he had imagined.
He couldn't help but laugh, muttering, "Hey, two skinny monkeys again."
After seeing her mother, Chaochao excitedly went to the bedside to see her younger brother and sister.
But with just one glance, all her initial anticipation shattered, and her little brows furrowed tightly. "So ugly! How can it be so ugly!"
This was completely different from the beautifully sculpted younger siblings she had imagined.
Their whole family is so good-looking, how could their younger siblings be so ugly!
Is it really from her family?
She glanced at her younger brother and sister, then at her mother, and seeing her mother's flat belly, she was certain that these were indeed her younger brother and sister.
Why!
But it's really ugly!
Chaochao clenched her fists, struggling to accept this fact.
However, she quickly came to terms with it. So what if she's ugly? She'll just have to protect herself in the future. She can't let others bully her just because she's ugly.
Having a baby during the hottest part of the day is no easy task.
Fortunately, their house was spacious and well-ventilated, so even though the sun was blazing outside, it was cool inside.
Qian Hong had experience in caring for new mothers, so she was even more adept at looking after Yu Yuehui this time. Xie Yan felt sorry for his wife being cooped up in the house, so he went to the black market and went to great lengths to obtain a piece of light gauze. Every day at midday when it was hottest, he would lift the outer curtain, leaving only the light gauze, so that a gentle breeze could blow into the room while still ensuring privacy.
Because Yu Yue was pregnant with twins, Xie Yan and Qian Hong discussed it and unanimously decided to let her have a double postpartum period.
Yu Yuehui naturally disagreed, but she had no choice but to accept the majority rule, even if she was unwilling.
Upon learning that his younger sister had given birth, Yu Yuehua specially requested an advance on his salary for the month. As soon as he finished work that afternoon, he went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative. He took out all the money and coupons he had just received and bought a bunch of nutritional supplements.
Because of Yu Yuehua's work, Liu Lanlan felt grateful to Yu Yuehui and Xie Yan, and she fully supported his behavior of using all his money and tickets to buy nutritional supplements without leaving any for his own family.
Worried that outsiders would be jealous and cause trouble if they saw this, Yu Yuehua didn't even go home and hurriedly sent the things back to Yu Yue.
Xie Yan looked at the pile of things his brother-in-law had brought over and was both amused and exasperated. He advised, "Brother, take these back for your wife. I've bought some here too."
Without a word, Yu Yuehua forcefully put the things down, glared at Xie Yan, and said, "You bought what you bought, and I bought what I bought. I'm just buying something for my sister, what are you nagging about!"
Xie Yan shrugged helplessly and simply ignored the person.
Yu Yuehui finally managed to complete her double postpartum confinement period, and the first thing she did after that was to take a relaxing bath.
After a thorough and satisfying shower, she felt like she had finally come back to life.
In the afternoon, she couldn't wait to go up the mountain for a stroll.
As evening fell, he returned home in high spirits, carrying a basket of wild game on his back.
When Xie Yan saw the basket full of pheasants and rabbits, he couldn't help but give his wife a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Wow, you're amazing! You've only been gone a short time and you've already brought back so much stuff."
Yu Yue walked to the water's edge, bent down to wash her hands, and had a satisfied smile on her face. "Being worried about the two little ones, I didn't go far. I just strolled around the neighborhood for a bit."
Xie Yan smiled and handed her the towel, teasingly saying, "Are you going to patrol your territory?"
Yu Yue nodded seriously.
The two entered the house and saw Chaochao lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), reading to the two little ones.
Oh dear, she was reading the medical books that Xie Yan had shown her before.
The two little ones stared blankly at the roof with their big eyes, showing no reaction to their sister's heartfelt reading.
When Chaochao saw Yu Yue return to the room, she excitedly got up and happily shouted, "Mom, my younger brother and sister are awake. I'm going to read to them."
Yu Yuehui picked up Chaochao and gently patted her head, praising, "Our Chaochao is so amazing, she can even help her mother coax her younger brother and sister."
Chaochao was used to being praised and wasn't shy at all. Instead, she raised her head and said proudly, "That's right, my younger brother and sister like me very much. Look, they are all listening to me read quietly."
Xie Yan watched this scene with a slight smile on his lips.
They are indeed behaving well, but whether they are actually listening is another matter.
