Gu Yunduan and his mother and grandmother waited outside the door. Although he had experienced it once before, he was still very nervous.
Xue Qi and Duan Ziyi helped Ye Zhaozhao give birth. Her delivery went smoothly, taking less than an hour.
Duan Ziyi carried each child out and handed them to Gu's mother and the others.
How is my wife?
Duan Ziyi smiled and nodded. She had never seen anyone give birth as quickly as her master, especially triplets.
"Everything's fine, everything's fine."
Hearing that his wife was alright, Gu Yunduan took the child from Duan Ziyi and saw that it was a son.
He handed it over to Gu's mother, and when she received the second one, it was another son.
He handed it over to his maternal grandmother, but when the third one was also his son, he couldn't stay calm anymore.
All three are sons, Duan Ziyi thought, that makes sense, so why does Commander Gu have that expression?
Gu Yunduan had previously told Ye Zhaozhao that if they had another son and a daughter, they could keep Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan company. Unexpectedly, all three were sons.
Ye Zhaozhao was taken to the ward, and when she woke up, she was happy to learn that all three were sons.
Whether it's a son or a daughter, they are all your own children.
Gu Yunduan has recovered by now and is feeding her baby formula. The other patient in the same ward has also just given birth.
She was envious of Ye Zhaozhao, who had given birth to three sons.
"Comrade, you're really lucky now, you've had three sons."
The woman thought that if she had given birth to three sons, she could do whatever she wanted in her husband's family. But she had only just given birth to one son.
Her mother-in-law prepared braised pork and chicken soup for her, something she didn't receive when she gave birth to her first daughter.
Ye Zhaozhao, seeing that she had also given birth to a son, did not forget to congratulate her during their chat.
The woman was even more shocked when she learned that this was not Ye Zhaozhao's first pregnancy, and that her first child was a son.
Ye Zhaozhao was observed in the hospital overnight and was fine. She prepared to be discharged the next day.
Gu Yunduan drove the car, and Gu's mother wrapped Ye Zhaozhao up tightly in her military overcoat.
The news that Ye Zhaozhao had given birth to three sons quickly spread throughout the family compound.
During her postpartum period, only Sun Xiuhua and Liu Erfeng came to visit the three babies.
"Zhao Zhao, you're really good at having children! This baby is so fair-skinned!"
Sun Xiuhua said enviously that she herself was a bit dark-skinned, so she envied those who were fair-skinned. Fortunately, her daughter took after Zhou Dawu.
She couldn't stand the thought of having a daughter who was as dark as charcoal.
Liu Erfeng also thought the baby was good-looking, unlike her own baby, who was wrinkled and not good-looking at all when he was born.
The two people sat for a while and then left without disturbing her rest.
Gu's mother and maternal grandmother told Ye Zhaozhao that she must rest well during her postpartum period, so she had a very good postpartum period.
Every day, Gu's mother prepared different kinds of meat for her and even traded some pig's trotters from the village. Ye Zhaozhao still chose to be fed with formula.
That evening, she discussed with Gu Yunduan the matter of holding a full-moon celebration for the children.
Ye Zhaozhao thought that since the last reunion was a big celebration, they wouldn't hold one this time.
Gu Yunduan said she could decide, and then Ye Zhaozhao asked Gu Yunduan if he had decided on a nickname yet. Gu Yunduan shook his head, saying he hadn't thought of one yet.
As the days passed, on the day of the full moon, the children's nicknames were finally decided: Manman, Niannian, and Suisui.
The given name is Gu Chao, Gu Mu, Gu Wang, which, combined with the name Gu Xiang Gu Nian, means to think about something constantly and never forget it.
After Ye Zhaozhao finished her postpartum confinement, everyone came to visit her, bringing gifts with them.
Duan Ziyi and Xue Qi also came.
"Ziyi, you don't look well. What happened?"
Duan Ziyi shook her head and said she was going to see the baby. Xue Qi didn't know what was wrong with her either; she had come to ask Ye Zhaozhao something.
"Master, what do you think of Li Yunhao?"
What do you think of him?
Ye Zhaozhao could tell that Li Yunhao was really fast; he had won Xue Qi over so quickly.
Xue Qi thought for a moment and then said seriously.
"I think he's pretty good."
"If you think it's good, you can give it a try."
Xue Qi was conflicted. After going through a marriage, she thought she would never fall in love with anyone else again.
But then Li Yunhao appeared, and she decided to give Ye Zhaozhao a try.
The two people gave red envelopes to all five children. No sooner had they left than Huang Aijuan arrived, bringing a chicken with her.
However, she didn't look too good. Ye Zhaozhao invited her to sit down, but Huang Aijuan went to see the baby first before speaking to Ye Zhaozhao.
"Zhaozhao, what are we going to do about Ziyi?"
"What's wrong with Ziyi?"
Huang Aijuan figured Ye Zhaozhao wasn't an outsider, so she told her about it.
It turns out that Duan Ziyi has someone she likes. Ye Zhaozhao thought, isn't this a good thing?
"Auntie, is the person she likes not to your liking?"
"no."
Huang Aijuan looked like she was having trouble saying it, but she finally did. It turned out that the person Duan Ziyi liked was none other than an old widower in the village.
She's old, and she can't even support herself, so how can she be good to her daughter?
Huang Aijuan discovered it while tidying up Duan Aijuan's things.
She was initially quite happy, wondering why her daughter didn't want to go on blind dates—it turned out she already had someone.
But after reading the letter, she could no longer laugh.
I knew the two of them had been in contact, and even my daughter wanted to transfer back because of him.
After Huang Aijuan told Brigade Commander Duan about this, the two of them were furious.
Last night, the two of them planned to ask him about it, but Duan Ziyi told them that she only liked him and she wouldn't marry anyone else.
Huang Aijuan had something on her mind, and since she had no confidants in the family compound, she could only come to Ye Zhaozhao to talk about it.
"Zhaozhao, what should I do?"
"Auntie, don't worry. There must be a reason why Ziyi likes him."
Ye Zhaozhao felt that Duan Ziyi was smart and rational, and did not seem like an impulsive person.
Huang Aijuan could only try to contact the widower for now, and seeing that it was getting late, she went home.
Ye Zhaozhao felt that they should give each other some time when it came to matters of the heart. Before Ye Zhaozhao could come up with a solution, Gu Yunduan had to go on another mission.
With the weather getting colder, this should be his last mission of the year.
Ye Zhaozhao brought him all the pills she had made during this time.
Gu's mother and grandmother were also reluctant to see Gu Yunduan leave, because if he left, there would be no one to fetch water.
If Gu Yunduan knew, he would definitely say that in the end, he had given his heart to the wrong person.
Knowing that they would be parting soon, Ye Zhaozhao let Gu Yunduan have his way that night.
This was a rare treat for Gu Yunduan, and the two of them played around until late at night before finally falling asleep.
When Ye Zhaozhao woke up, Gu Yunduan had already left, after the full moon celebration.
She was thinking about going back to work at the hospital, and her grandmother discussed it with her.
"Zhaozhao, come home with your grandma for Chinese New Year this year. Your uncle and aunt miss you very much."
"Grandma, when Gu Yunduan comes back, I'll tell him that if he has leave to visit relatives, we'll go back."
By then, the triplets would be a few months old and old enough to travel by train. As soon as Ye Zhaozhao arrived at the hospital, she saw Xue Qi looking anxious.
"Xue Qi, what's wrong?"
