"A pregnancy test can usually be felt two to three months after conception. Ruoruo, you're already showing signs of pregnancy. Didn't you know before?"
Ning Ruoruo shook her head, "I've been too busy lately, I thought it was just from being tired..."
She assumed it was just due to fatigue causing irregular periods, so she didn't take it seriously.
Everyone reminded Ning Ruoruo to take care of her health and not to overexert herself in the early stages of pregnancy.
Zhao Sufang is the only one in the house who has given birth to many children, making her the most qualified person to speak on the matter.
She was about to say something when Li Xiangdong startled her!
"Oh dear! Oh dear! This feeling is so strange! Is it because I have two hearts?"
Li Xiangdong suddenly jumped up, his eyes shining, and asked loudly.
"You silly thing! You're always so jumpy, you've scared your daughter-in-law and the baby in her belly!"
Li Jin kicked Li Xiangdong again, this time with more force than before.
Li Xiangdong wasn't angry. He patted his father's big footprint on his pants and said with a grin, "How strange! You guys should try it too!"
Nobody was curious at all.
Li Xiangdong was the only one who seemed to have never seen the world.
Ten months of pregnancy, one day of childbirth.
You can't understand the hardships of being a mother unless you have children.
Although Li Xiangdong didn't give birth to her himself, hearing someone as strong as Ning Ruoruo screaming in pain made his legs go weak.
He paced anxiously outside the ward, chanting the names of Buddha, Bodhisattva, Mary, the Jade Emperor, and Muhammad, begging them to bless his wife so she could give birth safely.
"Waaaaah~ Waaaaah~"
A loud baby's cry came from the ward. Li Xiangdong rushed to the ward door and kept looking inside through the crack in the door.
"Mother and children are safe!"
Ning Ruoruo gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl!
After the doctor reported that everything was alright, someone brought Ning Ruoruo and the baby out.
Ning Ruoruo's small, pointed face was deathly pale, completely devoid of color, and her black hair was stuck to her face.
Li Xiangdong rushed over to Ning Ruoruo, bent down, and gazed at his wife with boundless affection.
"Honey, you've worked so hard! Are you in pain? Let's never have another baby!"
As he spoke, Li Xiangdong gently placed a kiss on Ning Ruoruo's forehead.
Ning Ruoruo was completely exhausted. She asked Li Xiangdong in a very soft voice, "Look, are all of our child's fingers and toes intact?"
Li Xiangdong rushed over to check, and after examining the two children's hands and feet—a total of forty limbs—he immediately reported to his wife, "No more, no less, exactly forty! Don't worry, honey!"
Ning Ruoruo then fell asleep with peace of mind.
At this moment, the two babies placed next to Ning Ruoruo began to cry loudly.
The two of them were competing to see who could cry the loudest.
Li Xiangdong looked at his children, who were red-skinned and resembled mice, with a hint of disgust. "Ruoruo and I are both quite good-looking, how come these two kids are so ugly..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Xiangdong received a hard slap on the back!
Li Jin was so angry that he glared and puffed out his beard. "Kids have tempers, don't talk nonsense in front of them!"
Zhao Sufang also said, "Newborn babies are all like this. Don't be fooled by their bright red color now; they will turn white as they grow."
Babies who are born with red skin usually grow up to have snow-white skin.
Moreover, both Li Xiangdong and Ning Ruoruo have very fair skin, especially Ning Ruoruo, whose fair skin never gets tanned even if she spends all day in the fields without sunscreen!
Li Xiangdong was skeptical of his mother's words.
Even though my son and daughter are not good-looking, they are still my children, and I don't mind their looks!
As time passed, when the moon was full, Tangtang and Susu indeed turned into a pair of chubby, healthy babies.
Tangtang is the older sister, and Susu is the younger brother. The two children look very alike. If it weren't for the three moles on Tangtang's ears, they wouldn't be able to tell them apart.
There's a joke about this.
Liu Jiangsu's family came to celebrate Tangtang and Susu's one-month birthday, and Bai Yufeng helped Zhao Sufang take care of the children.
The two children usually don't cry or fuss after they've eaten their fill. They lie in their cradles, waving their little hands and feet to entertain themselves, and occasionally babbling to each other.
No one could understand the "baby talk".
That day, because everyone was busy preparing for the baby's first birthday celebration, Bai Yufeng was left alone to take care of the child.
Tangtang and Susu, a brother and sister, have big appetites, and breast milk is not enough for them, so they have to supplement with formula.
The two children were a little hungry and started crying.
Bai Yufeng already knew the two children's daily routines. As soon as she heard them whimpering, she immediately took the bottle with the prepared formula and fed the children.
She couldn't feed both children by herself, so she put the pacifier into the mouth of the child who was crying the most.
As soon as the milk entered the baby's mouth, the baby stopped crying.
The other baby was still whimpering a little, but the baby next to him stopped crying. He just stared with his big eyes and stopped crying.
The child was probably too hungry, because the milk powder in the bottle was gone in no time, and Bai Yufeng had to make more.
Just as she was making the baby formula, Li Xiangdong came in.
He was preparing the items for the baby's first birthday celebration when he passed by the baby's room. As soon as he entered, Li Xiangdong's eyes were glued to the two children, and he immediately picked them up and kissed them for a long time.
"Eastwards, have you found the scissors?"
Liu Jiangsu called to him from the courtyard.
"Ah~ Found it, right away!"
Li Xiangdong carefully put Tangtang and Susu back into the cradle.
"Daddy's busy now~ You all stay inside and behave well~"
As soon as Li Xiangdong finished speaking, Bai Yufeng came in with a baby bottle.
"Xiangdong, hurry up and take the scissors out, your mother is waiting!"
"Okay, I'm going right now!"
Li Xiangdong dashed out like a gust of wind, while Bai Yufeng, holding a baby bottle, walked to the cradle. "Time for formula!"
She casually picked up the baby who hadn't been nursing and put the pacifier in his mouth.
But the child doesn't seem very hungry, so why does he refuse to drink milk?
Bai Yufeng was sweating profusely, not knowing what was wrong with the child.
"Could it be that he/she is sick?"
Bai Yufeng reached out and touched the child's forehead; the temperature was normal. "Are you alright? What happened?"
Just as she was racking her brains trying to figure it out, another child seemed to smell the milky scent and burst into tears!
Seeing his little mouth pouting and looking so pitiful, Bai Yufeng finally realized and picked up the baby who had just drunk milk!
She went out and told everyone about it as a joke, and Zhao Sufang laughed heartily, "Last time I gave Tangtang a bath, I gave her another one a little while later! After that, I learned my lesson and started checking her ear before doing anything!"
The resemblance between the two children is quite striking.
However, although the two siblings look alike, their personalities are completely opposite.
