At the end of October, Shen Anning had stopped working at the hospital and school and was on leave at home.
I have two babies in my belly, two healthy and well-developed babies. Not only is my belly big, but it is also difficult for me to walk and exercise every day.
Although the due date was still some time away, Shen Anning's family was very worried about her as a pregnant woman. There were many people in the hospital and school every day, and both doctors and teachers needed to stand and walk frequently, so Shen Anning started taking maternity leave in advance when the weather got a little colder at the end of October.
Every day when I wake up naturally, the first person I see is always my little baby Peanut. When he just wakes up, his face is swollen and oily, but the little guy doesn't mind at all and keeps kissing him.
"Mom, is my brother obedient today?"
Shen Anning rubbed her eyes, got out of bed with the help of her son, and touched the little guy's head. "Be obedient, Peanut, as a big brother, taught them very well. Mommy slept soundly last night. How about Peanut? Did you sleep well?"
Little Cao Siheng squeezed toothpaste for his mother and said, "I slept very well too. Dad put a lot of toys in my little bed, including the Calabash Brothers, huge dolls, all lined up to protect me."
Shen Anning smiled. During the National Day holiday, Cao Jingheng tidied up the room next door and made a luxurious bunk bed for the little guy, which won his son's heart. From then on, no one needed to coax him. Little Peanut asked to sleep by himself, and occasionally brought his second brother Shen Ziyi and Little Peanut's younger brother Shen Zixuan to join him.
Thanks to the deluxe bunk beds and large dolls of different styles, the problem of the little ones sleeping in separate rooms and beds was quickly solved. When Shen Anyan, Shen Anchen and Cao Jingheng were drinking together, they all said they had learned something. Shen Anyan even slapped his thigh and asked, why didn't you get this bed out earlier?
Holding his son's hand, he went to the main courtyard to have dinner with his grandparents. Cao Jingheng had a fixed working time, and Shen Anning couldn't see him when he got up late.
"Mom, Dad bought tofu pudding this morning, but I still prefer sweet. Mom, you used to like sour and spicy food, but now you like sweet food like me. But Dad said that we can only add some honey to yours, not sugar. But you can have a bite of mine, just a small one."
Shen Anning listened to her son talking. The little guy had grown a little taller this month and had lost a little flesh, but his face was still round and very cute.
"Can it only be a small bite? What if Mom likes to eat it with sugar? Can I give her a big bite?"
Listening to Shen Anning's pitiful words, little Cao Siheng was about to agree, but suddenly he thought of eating cream ice cream in the summer. How much was a big bite of his mother's ice cream at that time? Half a stick, a big bite of his mother's ice cream was half!
Thinking of this, the little guy shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, Mom, just a small sip. I'll scoop it out for you with a spoon."
Shen An Ning was quite regretful that her son failed to deceive her. She turned her grief and anger into appetite and had a bowl of tofu pudding, two beef pies and a bowl of egg cake for breakfast. Peanut looked at his mother showing off and was envious. His stomach was still too small and he couldn't eat so much. His younger brothers who stayed in his mother's belly were lucky. They ate five or six meals a day and could eat a lot at each meal.
After staying at home for more than half a month, grandma arranged five or six nutritious meals with a combination of meat and vegetables for her every day. She also often took Shen An Ning for a walk in the yard to help digest the food. The little peanuts and melon seeds at home also enjoyed the good fortune. Every time it was time for Shen An Ning to have a snack, the two of them were as punctual as an alarm clock.
On November 20th, Shen An Ning finally went into labor. The twins would be born prematurely, and the family had already made preparations. While she was eating, she felt something was wrong and told her family. Grandpa and grandma Cao Jingheng, including Xiao Huasheng, all started to prepare. Xiao Huasheng was born in the afternoon, and these two little treasures were born in the evening. Coincidentally, as brothers with blood ties, they both had a special liking for food.
There were not as many people in the hospital at 6:30 in the evening as during the day, but there were still several families standing outside the delivery room. Family planning has been much stricter in recent years. Families with a daughter as their first child can have a second child. Ordinary workers and staff members in units can only have one child. Therefore, the families standing outside were very different from the Cao family.
The old ladies and husbands of other families were praying for a son, but the Cao and Shen families were the only ones hoping that their two children would be luckier and have a daughter.
The two little guys, Cao Siheng and Shen Zixuan, sat on the chairs, calmly comforting their second brother, "Brother, don't worry, my mother is definitely pregnant with two little brothers, and our male army will have two more."
"Yes, yes, aunt is pregnant with two little brothers."
Shen Zixi listened to what her three younger brothers said, and curled her lips in disdain, but she was still worried in her heart. She didn't know when she clenched her hands and began to pray frantically, praying to all kinds of gods. She didn't dare to think about having two younger sisters, but she thought she could still fight for one younger sister.
From time to time, a nurse would come out and call the pregnant woman's name. Cao Jingheng stood by the door of the delivery room. Only by leaning against the wall could his legs stop shaking so violently.
He was nervous, really too nervous. With two children, he couldn't imagine how hard it would be for his wife. The joy of having a new member in the family could not alleviate his worries at all.
“Doctor Shen’s family.”
The Cao and Shen family members who were called quickly blocked the door of the delivery room. Cao Jingheng stared at the nurse nervously. It was really scary that the nurse didn't bring the baby out.
"Congratulations, Dr. Shen gave birth safely. She and the children are in good health. It's two boys again. Congratulations!" The nurse was a little lacking in confidence when she said two boys. Everyone in the hospital knew how much Dr. Shen's family wanted a daughter. Such luck is unparalleled.
