When Lu Qiuying arrived at the hospital, she saw the three of them sitting in chairs and assumed they hadn't given birth yet.
She helped her grandmother inside, then looked at Lu Yun Shen and asked, "Why didn't you go in to be with her during childbirth?"
The chubby girl's lips twitched, but she didn't dare tell Ah Yan that she had asked her to stop Lu Yun Shen.
“He gave birth before he could even go inside,” Mrs. Lin said, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
"It's born!"
Lu Qiuying and Grandma Lan asked in unison.
The two looked in shock toward the entrance to the delivery room.
Before they could ask any more questions, the delivery room door opened again, and a nurse pushed the hospital bed out.
Lu Yunshen rushed over to see Lin Ziyan and took her hand.
"Why hasn't she woken up yet?" Lu Yunshen asked the nurse beside him as he walked, his brows furrowed.
Lu Qiuying blinked when she saw the two blankets at the foot of the bed.
She grabbed the chubby girl's arm, "Did the nurse put the wrong children in? Why are there two children?"
Grandma Lan, "..."
She thought she was seeing things, but when she heard Qiuying say that, she hurriedly followed after her, almost falling over in her haste.
Grandma Lin quickly steadied her, saying, "What's the rush? The child can fly now, slow down."
“Yun Shen will be fine if he follows. Let’s not cause trouble for the children.”
Grandma's face lit up with joy. As long as both children, boy and girl, are healthy, that's all that matters.
“They are twins.” Grandma patted Grandma Lan’s hand.
…
And at this moment in the village.
Aunt Chen was waiting for a phone call at home, pacing back and forth anxiously, and didn't even want to eat.
She heard the gossip in the village and felt sorry for Ayan, but she was afraid that if she directly confronted her, the villagers would say even worse things if she really gave birth to a daughter.
That's the downside of living in the village; there's a lot of gossip and sarcastic remarks.
In the past six months, the electrical appliance factory has been receiving orders, but most of them are for export.
As for which country it was sent to, nobody knows.
When the villagers have some free time, they gather together and talk about all sorts of things.
S Appliances suddenly opened a franchise store in Guangzhou, putting Hairun Appliances in the spotlight. Unpleasant rumors spread, and people were secretly discussing that the appliance factory would go bankrupt soon.
Six months later, the business hadn't gone bankrupt, and people started discussing how the Lin family had a history of daughters who were considered unlucky for their husbands.
"Don't walk around like that, you're making me dizzy." Uncle Chen wanted to grab the pipe, but then stopped himself when he thought of the little dumpling.
Ever since his daughter complained about his smoking, Uncle Chen has been trying to quit smoking on and off.
During this time, Aunt Chen also criticized him, saying that her granddaughter was more important than her daughter-in-law, and that she had been talking about quitting smoking for decades.
A single word from her granddaughter is all it takes.
"If you're dizzy, lie down in the inner room. Nobody's letting you see me," Aunt Chen retorted.
Uncle Chen's lips twitched. He glanced at his son-in-law but didn't dare say anything more.
Cao Dezheng was teaching the little boy how to use a spoon to eat, smiling faintly without saying anything.
"I should have gone with them. I'm just anxiously waiting at home," Aunt Chen murmured.
bell……
She answered the phone as soon as it rang.
"She gave birth? Is she healthy? How is Ayan... "
Several questions were posed in succession.
"What? She gave birth to twins!" Aunt Chen exclaimed after listening for a while.
They spoke a few more words and then hung up.
Uncle Chen was anxiously waiting on the side, wanting to grab the phone but afraid of being scolded by his wife.
"She gave birth to two, a boy and a girl." Aunt Chen snapped out of her daze, beaming with joy, and slapped her thigh.
Uncle Chen nodded, his eyes slightly red, poured himself a glass of wine, and downed it in one gulp.
Cao De was surprised for a few seconds, then said, "Mother, the Lin family might not have made soup. Should we make some at home...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Aunt Chen rushed into the chicken coop to grab a chicken.
"Ade, help me boil some water..."
Upon hearing her shout, Cao De shook his head and chuckled, then got up and went to the kitchen to boil water.
When Fatty gave birth to Little Dumpling, it was Lin Ziyan who drove Fatty to the hospital and saved her life.
He remembered this kindness and had already written down the menu for the postpartum period.
You shouldn't eat too much oily food right after giving birth; the main thing is to replenish your qi and blood.
The Chen family was busy, and the area under the banyan tree in the village was bustling with activity.
Grandma Li used a palm-leaf fan to swat away mosquitoes while listening to everyone chat.
"The electronics factory is making us work overtime every day, but the overtime pay is really high. I have to rush back after I finish eating..."
"Li Liu's wife, weren't you working at the jewelry factory before? How come you switched to the electronics factory?"
When Grandma Li heard her daughter-in-law's voice, she sat down silently on the other side without saying a word.
In the past six months, she has been taking care of her son, Da Pang, and her relationship with her youngest daughter-in-law has improved considerably. However, Grandma Li is no longer willing to eat and live with her youngest son and still lives in the old house.
"The jewelry factory is too taxing on the eyes. The electronics factory pays well, has good benefits, and most importantly, pays a lot for overtime," Li Liu's wife said calmly while eating.
"Why are you still working overtime? Didn't they say they were about to go bankrupt?"
"Who said it's going out of business? We're too busy to handle everything, and we're already hiring..." Li Liu's wife quickly ate a few mouthfuls of rice, waved her hand, and left.
Grandma Li's lips curled into a smile; there was a reason why she held her youngest daughter-in-law in such high regard.
Hardworking and down-to-earth, and doesn't talk nonsense.
"I think Li Liu's wife is a money-grubber. She's still working overtime at this hour. What's the difference between her and a capitalist?"
"That's right, no one is reporting capitalists anymore, otherwise the Lin family would definitely have been reported."
Is the salary really that high?
After Li Liu's wife left, everyone started talking about it.
There were those who questioned it, and those who made sarcastic remarks.
Grandma Li was too busy enjoying the cool air to say much.
They didn't see her, otherwise they wouldn't have dared to speak ill of her daughter-in-law to her face.
A car drove into the village, and everyone looked at it, raising their hands to block out the headlights.
Aunt Chen, carrying a thermos, jogged over to the car.
"Yun Shen, this is freshly made chicken soup, and some clothes for the children..." Aunt Chen was quite afraid of Lu Yun Shen before, but now she didn't care about that anymore. After handing the things to him, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you." Lu Yun Shen pursed his lips slightly.
Aunt Chen smiled and nodded, stepping aside. "I'll have Fatty deliver the food tomorrow, so you won't have to make another trip."
After thanking them, Lu Yunshen nodded to his grandmother and maternal grandmother, then started the car and drove away.
The car headlights turned, and only then could the people gathered under the banyan tree make out who they were.
"Grandma Lin, has Ah Yan given birth?"
"Was it a boy or a girl?"
Several people surrounded him and asked.
Grandma Lan wasn't used to being surrounded by people, so she pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
Grandma smiled and said, "Both babies are healthy. We'll have a feast when they turn one month old."
Aunt Chen coughed a few times, "Everyone, please disperse."
The three of them finally managed to squeeze out of the crowd and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Grandma Lan's smile never faded, and her steps were light and quick; she was practically humming a tune.
"Oh no, we only prepared clothes for one child." Grandma Lin slapped her forehead and stopped in her tracks.
Grandma Lan said, "It's alright, I can deliver it tomorrow."
“I’m prepared, and Ayan knows there are two children, so she must be prepared too.”
"That girl is really good at keeping secrets; she hasn't told anyone," Aunt Chen muttered.
The moonlight illuminated the dirt paths in the village, and the shadows of the trees swayed and creaked.
Lin Atai's eyes welled up with tears. It was the third generation of the Lin family that a boy had been born.
She had heard some of the rumors circulating in the village, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't upset.
Her father only realized on his deathbed that no one can decide whether a child is a boy or a girl, and if you can't let go, you'll only suffer.
