Wen Ya gently placed her hand over Jin Jinxiu's hand with heartache and softly comforted her, "Mother-in-law, don't worry too much. Duo Duo will be fine. Dr. Xia is a leading expert in obstetrics and gynecology at our Beijing Military Region Hospital! That's why I specially brought her to Pengcheng to deliver Duo Duo's baby. I believe that with Dr. Xia here, everything will go smoothly."
Jin Jinxiu simply gave a faint "hmm" and then fell silent. Her eyes, which resembled Qian Duoduo's, were fixed on the door of the operating room, just like Lu Yuan's.
Time ticked by, and just as they were growing increasingly anxious, a clear, melodious cry of a newborn baby suddenly rang out from the operating room! The sound, like heavenly music, instantly shattered the surrounding silence. Hearing this, all three of them turned their gazes toward the operating room, their faces filled with surprise and excitement.
Jin Jinxiu couldn't wait to stand up, but her legs were already numb from the stress. Wen Ya quickly reached out to support her. Even so, Jin Jinxiu gritted her teeth and struggled to move her aching legs step by step toward the operating room door.
With great difficulty, she finally made it to the doorway. However, before she could even catch her breath, another baby's cry rang out. Wenya said with a smile, "Almost there, almost there! This is the second one already! Once all four babies are safely born and Duoduo's wound is stitched up, she'll be able to come out. My dear in-law, your cooking skills are much better than mine! We'll have to make some nutritious meals for Duoduo later to help her recover!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Jinxiu immediately nodded repeatedly in agreement, "Yes, yes, we must make sure Duoduo eats her fill so she can recover as quickly as possible." As she spoke, a gentle light shone in her eyes, as if she could already see the adorable appearance of the four little babies in the future.
As Wen Ya watched Qian Gui and Qian Xiang approach, she said, "Qian Xiang, take your mother-in-law home later. I brought some black-boned chicken with me. Ask her to make some chicken soup for Duo Duo to nourish her body. This C-section must have taken a toll on her health, so she needs to be properly nourished."
Qian Xiang nodded without hesitation, his gaze quickly sweeping over Lu Yuan, who was staring blankly at the operating room door like a statue waiting for his wife. He asked curiously, "When did Yuanzi come back?"
Wenya smiled broadly, her eyes sparkling with joy, and replied softly, "In my opinion, Duoduo is probably waiting for Yuanzi. Look, Yuanzi just came back not long ago, and Duoduo's eldest and second eldest sons couldn't wait to be born into this world."
Upon hearing this, Qian Gui opened his mouth as if to say something, when suddenly a loud baby cry reached everyone's ears. He was slightly taken aback at first, then his face immediately broke into a bright smile, and he excitedly said, "Haha, this must be the birth of our third child! Listen to how loud that cry is, he'll definitely sing beautifully when he grows up!"
Qian Xiang laughed upon hearing this and nodded in agreement: "Yes, that's right! This child's cry is so loud, he might actually become an outstanding singer in the future."
Then, Qian Xiang turned to Wen Ya and suggested, "Auntie, why don't we have Qian Gui drive my second aunt back first? Anyway, his wife is home right now, so we can go back and visit her. If there's anything good to eat, we can bring her some too."
Wenya didn't care much about who would take Jin Jinxiu home. At this moment, all she could think about was the beautiful hope that her four grandsons, who were about to be born, would be safe and healthy!
Lu Yuan stood outside the delivery room, quietly watching the door, when suddenly he heard a baby's clear cry coming from inside. His eyes instantly lit up again, like twinkling stars in the night sky. Then came the cry of another baby. Although this cry was not as loud as the previous three, it was like a gentle stream, flowing into Lu Yuan's heart.
He couldn't help but reach out and gently touch the spot where his heart was. That spot was already filled with his deep love for his wife, Qian Duoduo, and now, with the arrival of these four little lives, that love surged like a flood bursting its banks, seemingly about to overflow his chest at any moment.
Looking at her simple-minded son's blank expression, Wenya couldn't help but recall the time she gave birth to Lu Yuan. Back then, Lu Yiheng had also stood there blankly outside the delivery room, his eyes filled with anticipation and nervousness. More precisely, she had given birth to three sons and one daughter in her lifetime. Each time she emerged from the delivery room, she was always greeted by Lu Yiheng's dazed face, followed by his meticulous care and attention.
During Wenya's postpartum period, she never changed a single diaper herself; Lu Yiheng took care of all these tedious tasks. He shouldered the responsibilities of a husband and father without complaint, demonstrating his deep and tender love through his actions.
Not long after, four babies, neither too thin nor too fat, with fair skin, were carefully carried out by the nurses. Wen Ya and Jin Jinxiu reacted quickly, each gently taking a child from one of the nurses. Qian Xiang, seeing this, also reacted swiftly, hurriedly reaching out to take one of the little ones. Even the usually composed Qian Gui was somewhat flustered at this moment, but still managed to steadily hold the last child in his arms.
Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that the four children looked exactly alike, as if they had been cut from the same mold! Their round, bright eyes, rosy cheeks, delicate noses, and slightly open mouths left everyone present speechless.
Wenya was the first to come to her senses. She looked down at the quiet and well-behaved baby in her arms, then looked up at the children in the other children's arms, and immediately asked with a troubled expression, "Oh dear, what should we do? These four children look exactly the same. How are we supposed to tell them apart?"
Hearing this, the nurse next to her couldn't help but laugh. She explained softly, "Don't worry, you parents are very thoughtful. We noticed that each child's blanket has a number marked on it. You just need to distinguish them by the numbers."
Upon hearing this, Jin Jinxiu's face immediately lit up with joy, and she quickly replied, "Yes, yes, yes, my dear in-law, ever since I learned that our Duoduo is pregnant with quadruplets, I not only embroidered numbers on the children's blankets, but I also bought four different colors of clothes for them and put them in four different closets. This way, whether it's taking care of the children or changing their clothes, it's easy to distinguish them."
