Chapter 95 Full Moon
"Come on, drink some brown sugar water to warm up first, eat a few eggs to fill your stomach, then drink the chicken soup and have some rice too." Mother Jiang carefully instructed, "Your diet during postpartum confinement should be light, so the taste may be a bit bland. Just bear with it."
Jiang Yining was truly hungry and quickly finished a bowl of warm brown sugar and eggs. Xie's mother then opened the thermos, and the rich aroma of chicken soup filled the air, accompanied by soft, sticky rice, light vegetables, and steamed fish. Jiang Yining's appetite was whetted, and with Xie Shiyan's meticulous service, she ate with exceptional relish.
Xiao Xiao and Nian An received the good news call from Jiang's mother and rushed to the hospital. The spacious ward was immediately filled with laughter and joy. Zhou Yanzhe looked at the two similar little faces on the crib and joked:
"Oh my, these two little ones are really good at growing up. They inherited all the best features from their parents. Look at their little noses and mouths, they look just like Ayan."
Nian'an laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "What nonsense are you talking about? Ningning and Ayan are both good-looking. No matter how the child grows up, they will be little angels."
The ward was filled with happiness and blessings. After three days of careful recuperation in the hospital, Jiang Yining was discharged. Xie Shiyan wrapped her up tightly from head to toe in a thick blanket, personally carried her to the car, and drove to their new home in the "Crown" villa district.
Everything here had already been arranged under the direction of Jiang's mother and Xie's mother, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere. Four experienced nannies and nutritionists were already in place.
Jiang Yining's task was to rest and recuperate properly during her postpartum period. The postpartum meals were nutritious and plentiful, and Jiang Yining often couldn't finish them all, so the leftovers ended up in Xie Shiyan's stomach. After a month, President Xie had actually gained five or six pounds.
To avoid being "disliked" by his wife, he goes to the gym every night without fail to work up a sweat.
The two little ones are changing every day, looking more and more like their father, with rosy cheeks and adorable features. The full-moon celebration was held in the garden of their new home in Crown Villa. The sun was shining warmly, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers. The carefully decorated venue was cozy and private, with only the closest relatives and friends invited. The atmosphere was filled with laughter and joy.
Under the guidance of a professional postpartum recovery specialist, Jiang Yining recovered her figure exceptionally well, even more so than before her pregnancy. She had a rosy complexion and her brows exuded the tenderness and contentment of a new mother.
The names of the twins were decided by Mr. Xie and Mr. Jiang after they thoroughly searched dictionaries and ancient books, and after several "intense" discussions in family meetings.
The older sister is named Xie Yiyan, and the younger brother is named Xie Yicheng. Their names are grand yet gentle, carrying the boundless blessings and expectations of their elders.
As the most honored grandmothers, Xie's mother and Jiang's mother each held a beautifully sculpted baby and sat in the seats specially reserved for their group of girlfriends. Xiao Xiao and Nian An surrounded them, playing with the little babies with small rattles, their eyes full of affection.
"Wow, our little town is so energetic!"
"Yan Yan's eyes are exactly like Ning Ning's, so bright and sparkling."
The two mothers beamed with joy as they listened to their friends' praise, their wrinkles brimming with happiness.
Just then, a familiar figure walked over with a hint of shyness. "Ningning, congratulations!" It was An Kexia. Beside her was a gentle-looking man with a sincere smile.
"This is my boyfriend, Chen Moli. I heard you're having your baby's one-month celebration today, so he insisted on coming along to share in the joy," An Kexia introduced with a smile.
When Jiang Yining saw her friend arrive with her beloved, she was genuinely happy for her: "Welcome, welcome! Please sit down. It's good to share in her joy; I'll give you plenty of it."
She greeted them warmly and joined in, playing with her two children and sharing in the joy of becoming a mother for the first time. Looking at the tenderness in Jiang Yining's eyes, softened by love and contentment, and then at the adorable baby in her arms, An Kexia's eyes also revealed envy and blessings.
On the other side, the men's "battlefield" was much more lively. Xie Shiyan, as the host and newly promoted father, was naturally the focus. Zhou Yanzhe and Lu Jingshen took the lead in cheering, toasting him one glass after another, congratulating him on his "double happiness" and being a "winner in life".
Xie Shiyan was in an excellent mood today, welcoming everyone who came. Although he maintained his composure, after a few rounds, his face was noticeably flushed, his eyes were brighter than usual, and he seemed a little tipsy. Jiang's father and Xie's father were also unusually relaxed, chatting and laughing with the young people.
The festivities continued into the afternoon, when the guests, laden with blessings and sweets, gradually took their leave. Mother Xie and Mother Jiang, carrying their well-fed and slightly yawning babies, gently carried them back to their fairytale-like nursery to rest.
Jiang Yining began sorting through the mountain of gifts and red envelopes, pondering how to properly handle or reciprocate these weighty sentiments.
