Wen Ya smiled and walked to the door, closing it amidst the envious gazes of everyone. She said to Dr. Xia, "When Duo Duo was pregnant, we thought that with four children, at least one would be a girl. We never expected that they would all be boys."
Dr. Xia smiled and said, "The children's weight is a bit low, but they are all healthy. It's just that the last one is a little small. But children have bones and are not afraid of gaining weight. With proper care, they will grow taller."
Lu Yuan listened quietly to his mother and Dr. Xia's conversation, thinking of his sensible niece, Miao Miao. She was the only girl in the Lu family to date, the apple of everyone's eye! Perhaps she wasn't well-liked by her grandparents when they lived in the oil city in Northeast China, but after she returned to Beijing, the whole family doted on her. Besides feeling sorry for her older sister, her parents also doted on this well-behaved and sensible niece. Fortunately, the Lu family had strict discipline, which prevented her from going astray.
Although Qian Duoduo heard all these words, she glanced at the little head inside the fan's blanket. It looked like it was sleeping very peacefully. Being a little small was fine, as long as it was healthy. After all, this little guy was her own flesh and blood, whom she had carried for ten months and given birth to with great difficulty!
However, Qian Duoduo was also a little envious of the soft and cuddly little princess. Thinking back to the adorable little dumplings on Douyin (TikTok) before she transmigrated into the book, how could they not be loved? But whether or not to continue having children in the future, Qian Duoduo felt it entirely depended on her current state of mind. Right now, she had just endured the pain of childbirth, and her body hadn't fully recovered. In addition, her children were still so young and tender, crying for milk, requiring a great deal of time and energy to carefully care for their daily lives and accompany them as they grew up healthy and happy. Therefore, at this moment, she would consider having more children later.
Wen Ya had no idea that Qian Duoduo's thoughts had already drifted far away. If she had known, she probably would have already started buying things for Naituanzi.
While everyone was still chatting, the eldest of the four children started making grunting noises, and soon after, the third brother also started eating.
Seeing this, Dr. Xia smiled slightly and said, "This child is probably hungry. Did you prepare some formula for him in advance?"
Hearing this, Wenya quickly nodded and replied, "Ready, ready! We'll go make the formula now. Luckily, I had the foresight to prepare 200 ml of warm water." After saying that, she and Qian Xiang hurriedly got to work, frantically preparing the formula and feeding the baby.
At this moment, Dr. Xia turned to look at Qian Duoduo, whose incision had just been stitched up, on the hospital bed not far away, and instructed, "Your incision has just been treated. I suggest you sew her a salt bag and place it on the incision. This will effectively press down on the incision and prevent pain, infection, and bleeding. Also, be careful not to let her eat until she passes gas. Once she has regained some strength, you can try to help her walk slowly around the ward, but be very careful not to let her catch a cold." Wen Ya listened attentively to Dr. Xia's instructions, nodding occasionally to show that she understood.
After Dr. Xia left, the ward fell into a brief silence. After a while, Wen Ya walked to the nurses' station and saw a nurse there, so she went up to her and asked, "Excuse me, may I make a phone call here?"
After receiving permission, she immediately reached out, picked up the telephone receiver on the table, and dialed a number she knew by heart.
"Beep—beep—" The dial tone sounded in my ear, and finally, a familiar voice came from the other end of the line: "Hello? Who is this?"
Hearing the voice, she was overjoyed and quickly said, "Mom, it's me! Duoduo gave birth, four big, healthy boys. Yes, she's doing well, and all four babies are doing well too. Yes, I know, I need to take good care of myself during this postpartum period. It's just that I won't be able to go back for a while."
In the hospital corridor, Hu Da and Zhang Tian sat quietly on a bench. Their eyes occasionally swept over passersby, but no one approached them to speak. Suddenly, an elderly woman walked over, saw Hu Da and Zhang Tian sitting there, and asked with a smile, "Young comrades, I'd like to ask, does the woman who gave birth to quadruplets live around here?"
The two men exchanged a glance, and Hu Da asked, "Why are you asking this?"
The old lady was taken aback at first, then smiled and said, "This is the first time I've ever heard of someone giving birth to four children at once. I just came to see."
Hu Da said, "This is a ward for high-ranking officials. Not just anyone can go in. Besides, it wouldn't be good to disturb the old leaders' rest."
The old lady could only shake her head after hearing this, and left in a hurry without saying anything more.
Seeing this, Zhang Tian said to Hu Dan, "Something's not right with this old lady."
Hu Da turned to look at Zhang Tian and asked curiously, "So you mean?"
Zhang Tian shook his head and said, "I've seen this old lady twice today. Once out of curiosity, and every time out of curiosity. As for what she wants to do, I have no idea."
Hu Da glanced in the direction the old lady had gone and joked, "What, could that old lady steal a child?"
Zhang Tian's expression turned serious: "Tiger, we really need to be on high alert. We can't afford to lose any of Chief Engineer Lu's four children!"
Hu Da looked at Zhang Tian, nodded, and said, "Okay, shall we take turns?"
Zhang Tian nodded: "I think it's a good idea! I'm on the day shift today, and you're on the night shift too."
Although Hu Da thought Zhang Tian was being a bit of a worrier, he could only nod when he saw Zhang Tian's serious expression. Little did he know that his night shift almost led to someone switching the child.
Around midnight, Qian Duoduo heard a door being pushed open. Half asleep, she saw a not-so-tall figure pushing the glass door. She immediately nudged Lu Yuan beside her, who instantly woke up and saw the figure. He teleported to the old woman's back and saw her holding a child, trying to open the door. When she realized she couldn't open it, she tried to turn back, only to see someone watching her from behind. Startled, she almost dropped the child in her arms.
Lu Yuan asked, "Who are you?"
When Hu Da returned from the restroom, he heard the noise and immediately ran in, turning on the light in the reception room. He saw that it was the same old lady he had seen earlier that day, and she was holding a baby in her arms.
