Lin Wangshu was awakened by the children's crying. She opened her eyes groggily and saw Jiang Weidong and Dehua, each holding a child and comforting them.
As Lin Wangshu moved her body, she felt a sharp pain and frowned, only then remembering that she had just given birth to two children.
Hearing the noise and realizing she was awake, Jiang Weidong's eyes lit up. He quickly walked over and asked with concern, "You're awake? Are you still feeling unwell? Do you want something to eat?"
Lin Wangshu looked at him and smiled weakly, "I'm much better, but I still feel a little pain."
As they were talking, they heard the crying from Jiang Weidong's arms grow louder, seemingly because he was bent over and the child was waving his arms wildly in the air.
Lin Wangshu's heart stirred, and her gaze involuntarily shifted downwards, wanting to see the child's face clearly.
Jiang Weidong saw it, carefully placed the child beside her pillow, and whispered, "Look, this is our little star."
Lin Wangshu still remembers giving birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Before she fell asleep, the nurse held the babies for her to see, one was a boy and the other was a girl.
Perhaps it was a mother's heart that was connected to her daughter, because as soon as Little Star was placed next to Lin Wangshu, she immediately stopped crying.
She tilted her head to look at Lin Wangshu, tears still in the corners of her eyes, her pupils bright and black. Then she stretched out her hand towards Lin Wangshu, opened her mouth and started to shout.
Jiang Weidong smiled and said, "She likes you. She stopped crying as soon as she saw you."
Looking at the tiny bundle in front of her, Lin Wangshu felt both bewildered and amazed. Was this the child who would call her "Mom" in the future? She had actually given birth to a person!
Seeing that Lin Wangshu was ignoring her, Little Star pouted and opened her mouth wide, about to cry again.
Seeing this, Lin Wangshu quickly and carefully took her small hand and gently kissed it.
Little Star was satisfied. She grabbed Lin Wangshu's finger, smacked her lips, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
Seeing how well the child behaved with Lin Wangshu, Dehua handed the still-crying child in his arms to Lin Wangshu as well.
Seeing that his crying was indeed getting quieter, he couldn't help but laugh and scold, "This little rascal, he even knows how to treat people differently, he's even harder to coax than his dad was when he was a kid!"
After hearing this, Lin Wangshu, holding the child, glanced at Jiang Weidong with a smile.
Jiang Weidong cleared his throat and looked at Dehua awkwardly, saying, "Auntie, I'm a father now, can you please stop bringing up my past?"
Dehua nodded perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more."
Seeing that Lin Wangshu had woken up, the two children also quieted down. Dehua said, "I'll go home first. I came in a hurry and didn't bring many things. I'll also cook a pot of fish soup to bring to help Wangshu with her milk production."
Lin Wangshu couldn't help but look at her chest, her face flushed, and she nodded shyly.
After Dehua left, Jiang Weidong looked at the little star sucking its fingers, coughed, and asked, "Can you feed the baby now?"
Lin Wangshu's face was flushed as if covered with a layer of sunset glow. She lowered her head and whispered, "I don't know either."
Jiang Weidong pointed to her brother, whose eyes were wide open, in her arms and tentatively suggested, "Why don't we let him try first? Let him set an example for Little Star."
Hearing him call out "Little Star" in one context and "him" in the other, completely devoid of emotion, Lin Wangshu couldn't help but glare at him. "What do you mean by 'him'? He's our little sun!"
"Alright, alright, Little Sun!" Jiang Weidong poked Little Sun's cheek and asked him softly, "Little Sun, are you hungry?"
Little Sun frowned and made two "ah ah" sounds at him. Jiang Weidong grinned and looked at Lin Wangshu, saying, "See? He's hungry."
As if to confirm Jiang Weidong's words, Xiao Taiyang tilted his head back, pouted, and stuck out his tongue.
Lin Wangshu looked at the two of them, father and son, and her ears turned red. She slowly lifted her clothes, and her little sun instinctively took it in, wanting to fill her stomach.
Seeing Jiang Weidong staring intently at her, Lin Wangshu became angry and embarrassed, "Why are you staring at me like that? It's so annoying!"
Jiang Weidong looked at her and said with a slightly sour tone, "Now that I have a child, I can't even look at her anymore?"
He didn't even lift a finger, can't he just watch and enjoy the spectacle?
"You..." Lin Wangshu slapped him across the face in anger and pushed his head away. "Anyway, you're not allowed to look now!"
Jiang Weidong obediently turned his head to the side, and said aggrievedly, "Little Moon, you're being unfair!"
Lin Wangshu was about to call him childish when she saw the little sun in her arms open its mouth and spit it out. Then it stopped crying and started playing with its fingers.
After putting the clothes down, Lin Wangshu frowned and looked at Jiang Weidong, saying, "It doesn't seem like that will work."
Jiang Weidong was puzzled. "Really? Wasn't it there before?"
Lin Wangshu shook her head, "There wasn't much before either, definitely not enough for him to eat."
Seeing Lin Wangshu frowning and looking worried, Jiang Weidong smiled and comforted her, "Didn't your aunt go to make you some fish soup? I'll buy some pig's trotters too, you can try them."
"If all else fails, we still have milk powder, right? We can use that to feed them."
Lin Wangshu touched the little sun's face and nodded, "Alright, I'll try again in a few days."
As evening approached, Dehua returned home and brought the soup she had prepared to Lin Wangshu. "This is very effective. I made this for your mother when she gave birth to Weidong."
After drinking a bowl of soup and eating some fish, Lin Wangshu was full.
Jiang Weidong and Dehua ate at the cafeteria. Seeing that she was full, Jiang Weidong took her leftovers and cleaned them up himself.
When it was time to sleep at night, there were extra beds available for Lin Wangshu, the only new mother in the ward.
Dehua saw that the city hospital was large and bustling with people, unlike the small clinic on the island, and was afraid that someone would sneak over in the middle of the night and steal the child.
Jiang Weidong knew her worries, so he moved a stool and stood guard at the door. Anyway, he had done guard duty before, so guarding for a night was nothing.
The next day, it seemed that the fish soup had worked, and Lin Wangshu felt a swelling in her chest.
She waved to Jiang Weidong with delight, asking him to bring over Little Star, who was drinking milk powder.
Unfortunately, after sucking for a long time, Little Star still got nothing. Unlike her brother, she was not good-tempered and immediately started to whine and cry.
Lin Wangshu also felt a swelling and pain, and was sweating profusely from being sucked by her. Her eyes were also filled with tears when she looked at Jiang Weidong.
Jiang Weidong felt anxious and pained when he saw the mother and daughter looking at him with tears in their eyes. Dehua was not around, which made him feel quite helpless.
Seeing that Lin Wangshu was in a lot of pain, Jiang Weidong said with concern, "I'll go find a nurse."
When the nurse arrived, she immediately knew what was wrong: "Your milk ducts are blocked, and the baby isn't strong enough to suck it out."
"What should we do then?" Lin Wangshu asked anxiously.
The nurse smiled and glanced at Jiang Weidong, "Then let's find someone strong."
