The whole hospital was in an uproar. Doctors, nurses, patients, and their families all came to watch the excitement. Everyone was talking about it, marveling at it. They all said that the Xiao family was extremely lucky to have five children at once, four boys and one girl. This blessing was simply amazing!
Father Xiao was holding his little granddaughter, grinning from ear to ear, and told everyone he met: "My Xiaoru is amazing, isn't she? She gave birth to five babies in one go! Four with boys, and one little one! Hahahaha..."
He was so proud that the words "winner in life" were almost written on his face.
Soon, Chen Xiaoru was pushed out of the delivery room by the nurses. Her face was pale, with beads of sweat on her forehead. She looked like she had been fished out of the water, and was as weak as a fallen leaf drifting in the wind.
Mother Xiao held her newborn granddaughter in her arms, while the other four children were held by nurses, following the stretcher in a large procession. As soon as she saw Chen Xiaoru coming out, Mother Xiao rushed over to her, holding her hand with a distressed look, her voice trembling: "Xiaoru, how are you? You've suffered so much, so much!"
Chen Xiaoru forced a smile, her voice as thin as a mosquito: "Mom, I'm fine... just a little tired." Her eyes fell on the baby in Xiao's mother's arms, and her eyes instantly became gentle, as if all her fatigue was swept away.
"That's good, that's good!" Xiao's mother nodded repeatedly, her eyes moist. She carefully brought her granddaughter closer to Chen Xiaoru so she could see her better. "Look, this little girl looks so much like you. Her eyes and eyebrows are just like yours."
Chen Xiaoru looked at the delicate little face, and an indescribable feeling of happiness welled up in her heart. She reached out and gently stroked the baby's cheek. The soft touch from her fingertips made her smile happily.
"Mom, let's... go back to the ward first!" Chen Xiaoru said softly. She just wanted to have a good rest and feel this hard-earned happiness.
Mother Xiao finally came to her senses and quickly called to the nurses: "Yes, yes, yes, go back to the ward first, go back to the ward first! Xiaoru needs to rest!"
A group of people surrounded Chen Xiaoru and slowly walked towards the ward. In the corridor, other patients and their families all looked sideways at this huge "army of mothers", each face filled with surprise and envy.
"Oh my, whose wife is this? She's so fertile! She gave birth to five children in one go!"
"That's right, four boys and a little cotton-padded jacket, this blessing is unparalleled!"
"This grandmother is so blessed! She has four grandchildren and one granddaughter all of a sudden. It's going to be so lively now!"
All kinds of discussions were heard incessantly, and Xiao's mother was so happy when she heard them. She straightened her back, smiled brightly, and felt like she was walking with the wind.
