"You called Dad?"
Song Lan asked.
Shaking his head, Qin Yanzheng said, "It was my second sister who hit me."
"Dad, you didn't sleep all night, did you? And Mom and you, did you also stay up all night?"
She only left this morning, so it's clear that either the person in front of her or the two elders had stayed up all night with her.
Song Lan thought to herself, feeling deeply apologetic.
As she pondered these thoughts, a hint of guilt unconsciously crept into her expression. Seeing this, Qin Yanzheng's eyes softened, and he said:
"This ward has two beds. I persuaded my mother to lie down and sleep for two or three hours."
As for Dad, the next ward was empty, and after negotiating with the hospital, he went there to rest for the first half of the night.
"And what about you?"
Song Lan's eyes were filled with concern: "Didn't you sleep all night?"
"Don't worry, I stayed by your side for the first half of the night, and my dad and mother-in-law stayed with you and the children for the second half of the night. They urged me to take a nap in the bed next to yours."
After a pause, Qin Yanzheng continued with a smile, "Dad has already given the two children names. The older brother was born first."
His name is Junye, and his younger sister's name is Junning. Mom and I think it's a good match. What do you think?
"The eldest child is named Qin Junping, the second child is named Qin Junan, the third child is named Qin Junye, and the youngest child is named Qin Junning. Putting these names together, anyone would know that they are brothers and sisters."
Song Lan's eyes were full of smiles: "Dad gave the third and fourth children very good names, but I wonder if the fourth child will think that Qin Junning is a boy's name when she grows up."
"No. Our daughter will definitely like her name."
Qin Yanzheng said with a smile.
"I hope so."
Song Lan smiled and then said, "How about we call the third child Sanbao, and the fourth child Sibao, in order?"
"I'm fine!"
Qin Yanzheng had no objection.
Song Lan smiled gently as she looked at the crib beside her and said, "Bring the third and fourth babies over so I can see them."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yanzheng immediately carried the three treasures to Song Lan without saying a word.
Slowly getting up and sitting up against the headboard, Song Lan took the swaddling clothes wrapped around the three babies.
Qin Yanzheng then brought the four treasures over.
After carefully examining the three treasures for a while, Song Lan shifted her gaze to the four treasures in Qin Yanzheng's arms. After scrutinizing them for a moment, she said, "The siblings don't look very alike."
"Sanbao looks more like me, while Sibao looks more like you. Maybe after a while, he'll be a carbon copy of you."
Qin Yanzheng's gentle voice carried a hint of amusement: "The doctor came out of the delivery room and said our baby is beautiful. Aren't you happy?"
You seem quite happy!
Song Lan didn't respond; instead, her eyes were full of teasing and mockery towards the man.
"Whether the children are good-looking or not, they are all part of our family. I'm not happy just because others compliment their looks. I'm happy because they are healthy and because my little sister looks like you!"
As Qin Yanzheng spoke, seeing that the four babies in his arms had woken up, he gently placed them next to Song Lan: "I'll go make some formula for the two children."
"good."
Song Lan responded, and then looked at her daughter with tenderness.
After the birth of her first and second children, Song Lan used a combination of breast milk and other supplements for feeding. It wasn't that Song Lan didn't want to breastfeed exclusively.
Her breast milk wasn't enough for the two little ones at once, so to prevent them from going hungry, she had to supplement with formula.
Moreover, it's unrealistic for Song Lan to continue breastfeeding after completing her postpartum confinement period and then return to work.
Now that the third and fourth babies have been born, they naturally receive the same food rations as their two older brothers.
However, Song Lan did not have breast milk at this time.
...
Around noon, Qin Yanzheng took a moment to make phone calls to the village and the compound to share the good news with Song Sanhe and Grandpa Chen.
Song Sanhe was very happy and told Qin Yanzheng to take good care of Song Lan and the children. He also asked about the two children and Li Jumei's situation. After receiving a reply that they were all doing well, he ended the call with Qin Yanzheng.
As soon as Mr. Chen and his wife hung up the phone, they took a car to visit the three women in Songlanbao.
"These two little ones are so good-looking, they're just as good-looking as Da Bao and Er Bao!"
Standing beside the double crib, Grandpa Chen's smile was like a blooming chrysanthemum, his eyes filled with love as he looked at his three and four babies.
"With parents like Lanlan and Xiao Qin, it's no wonder their children are good-looking!"
That's Mrs. Chen's voice.
“You’re right about whatever you say, but I didn’t say that the children’s good looks aren’t thanks to Lanlan and Xiao Qin.”
Old Master Chen's words made Qin Yanzheng feel quite embarrassed. He smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything.
Song Lan burst out laughing: "It's the children's student council president."
"Have you chosen a name yet?"
Old Master Chen suddenly asked.
Before Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng could speak, Old Mrs. Chen glared at Old Mr. Chen first, then said:
"You stole the naming rights for the first and second babies, and now you want to steal the naming rights for the third and fourth babies. You think you're so capable!"
"I'm the children's great-grandfather, don't I have the right to name them?"
There was a hint of resentment in the way Grandpa Chen looked at Grandma Chen.
Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng looked at Grandpa Chen and his wife, both suppressing their laughter. Song Lan said, "Grandpa, my father-in-law came to the hospital last night. He named the two children Junye and Junning."
"These names were chosen based on the names of Da Bao and Er Bao!"
Grandpa Chen's face immediately lit up with a smile: "Qin Junye, Qin Junning, good names!"
Considering that Song Lan had just given birth the night before and needed rest most of all, the elderly couple, Mr. and Mrs. Chen, stayed in the ward for about twenty or thirty minutes before taking a car back to the hospital.
When they came, they not only brought Song Lan a lot of nutritional supplements, but also several bags of milk powder for the three and four babies, and even several sets of baby clothes.
When putting down the brown paper bag containing the clothes, Mrs. Chen specifically mentioned that they had been washed and dried, assuring Song Lan that she could put them on the two children without worry.
Song Lan was discharged from the hospital a week later. During her stay, hospital leaders, Mu Ting, Qiu Mingxuan, and doctors who were on good terms with Song Lan all came to visit her.
However, considering that Song Lan's delivery was still in progress, and since no one had entered the ward, they handed the gifts they had brought to Qin Yanzheng.
Li Jumei, standing at the door of the ward, offered her concern to Song Lan before saying goodbye and leaving.
After learning from the elderly couple that Song Lan had successfully given birth to twins, Chen Changzheng and Chen Changqing, along with their respective wives, visited Song Lan at the courtyard house after she was discharged from the hospital.
As the maternal uncle, Chen Dongxu naturally had to visit and offer his care. In order to show off that he was the most popular uncle among his nephews, he even called his older brother Chen Dongsheng to boast about how much Song Lan's four children liked him!
A military base in Beijing.
Chen Dongsheng hung up Chen Dongxu's boastful call with a dark face, gave a heavy snort, and muttered to himself, "I don't have time to go back. If I did, I would undoubtedly be the uncle my four little nephews like the most!"
"You look terrible. Tell me, who has the audacity to provoke you, the cold-faced devil?"
Jiang Yunzhen walked into Chen Dongsheng's office and saw that his face was dark, which aroused her curiosity.
