Chapter 437: Twins (Page 1/2)
Twin births are rare in this era, and cases like this where one is born and the other doesn't want to come out are even rarer.
Lin Man was still quite calm. She was already very tired after giving birth to a child. It was the middle of the night and Huo Qingci was watching her. She soon fell asleep.
Huo Qingci was in a miserable state. Besides worrying about his wife, he also heard the screams of the woman in labor outside the curtain, which made him feel overwhelmed.
Xiao Ya was also worried. After all, her daughter-in-law gave birth to twins. At two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, the second child had not yet come out, so she had to carry the child to the door of the delivery room again.
After knocking on the door and asking the nurse inside, Huo Qingci heard his mother's voice and hurried out.
"Mom, why did you bring my daughter here so late?"
"Aren't I worried about Manman?"
"Manman fell asleep. I guess that brat is reluctant to come out."
"Ah? Can you still give birth like this? Will Manman be okay?"
"It'll be okay, Mom. Take my daughter to bed first! I'll stay with Manman."
As soon as Huo Qingci finished speaking, the midwife ran out and said, "Doctor Huo, there is another woman about to give birth, and there may not be enough delivery beds.
Our doctor on duty just checked your wife's cervix and estimated that she wouldn't be able to give birth tonight. The doctor said that your wife should be sent back to the ward first and brought back in when she has an attack."
"Okay, I'll go get her out."
Lin Man was half asleep when she found herself being carried back to the ward by Huo Qingci. She was speechless as she had to go into the delivery room twice to give birth to twins.
Back in the ward, the family members of the patients in the next bed suspected that Lin Man was not pregnant with twins at all, and the reason her belly was still bulging was because she had just given birth.
Lin Man didn't explain too much to them. She was very tired and just wanted to sleep. No one knew when the second child would be born. It could be tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow.
Anyway, there were no contractions now, so she could have a good rest. Of course, she looked at her baby daughter before going to sleep.
I didn't expect the baby to weigh 5.2 jin when he was born, which is a good size for twins.
There were no extra beds in the ward, so Huo Qingci handed the dormitory key to Xiao Ya, "Mom, you go back to the dormitory and sleep. I'll take care of Manman and the baby."
"Okay, I just fed my granddaughter milk powder. If she's hungry later, you can get up and feed her."
"Okay, I understand."
Xiao Ya put her granddaughter on the hospital bed and lay down with Lin Man. Huo Qingci moved the recliner to Lin Man's bedside and took a nap. As a result, he took a nap until half past six.
Finally, Lin Man was awakened by her daughter's crying and woke up as well.
Huo Qingci rubbed his eyes and said apologetically, "Sorry, Manman, I don't know how I fell asleep. I'll feed Nannan the milk powder."
Lin Man didn't expect that the little one hadn't had milk for four hours. Newborns usually get hungry after one or two hours. How come she didn't cry or make a fuss, or were she and Huo Qingci both fast asleep before?
At 7:30, Xiao Ya brought breakfast over. Lin Man washed up and ate breakfast. An hour later, her stomach started to ache again.
Lin Man knew that her contractions had started again. The doctor came over to check her after his rounds and then sent her to the delivery room.
This time Huo Qingci did not follow because at that moment, a woman was giving birth. He borrowed a chair and sat at the door of the delivery room waiting.
By eleven o'clock, two children had been sent out, but unfortunately neither of them was Lin Mansheng's.
He got up and walked around anxiously. At 12:15, the midwife finally came out with a baby.
"Doctor Huo, your wife has given birth to another son for you, and she's planning to give birth at twelve o'clock. Your twins are really interesting. The sister was born at twelve o'clock in the evening, and the brother was born at twelve o'clock in the afternoon. It seemed like they had planned it all."

Huo Qingci glanced at his troublesome little son. He was really troublesome. If the baby had been born last night, he and Manman wouldn't have to worry for so long.
"Comrade, what is my wife like?"
"Comrade Lin Man's placenta was successfully expelled. She's really exhausted after two consecutive births. Let's observe her for an hour. You can come pick her up later."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Huo Qingci returned to the ward with his youngest son in his arms. The family members of the patients in the next bed did not expect that Lin Man actually had another baby in her belly. They were extremely envious.
The mother-in-law of the woman in bed 2 ran over to look at the child in Huo Qingci's arms and asked, "Comrade, your wife has given birth to another son for you?"
Huo Qingci nodded, "Yes, my wife gave birth to another pair of twins, a boy and a girl."
"Ah? What do you mean by again? Did your wife also give birth to twins, a boy and a girl, before?"
Huo Qingci shook his head. "The two previous babies were both boys, but this one is a boy and a girl."
The old lady really didn't expect that the woman in bed three was so fertile. She gave birth to sons in the first two pregnancies, and she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, in the third.
What a lucky daughter! She is pretty and married to the son of a high-ranking official. She only gave birth to a few sons in her lifetime.
"Haha, did your wife take some secret recipe for fertility? How come she is so good at giving birth to sons?"
Seeing her son's embarrassed expression, Xiao Ya helped to explain, "My wife and I both got pregnant naturally. There's no secret recipe for having a child."
Huo Qingci had just laid his youngest son gently on the bed when Huo Li walked in with the children. The already small ward suddenly became overcrowded, with almost no extra space for anyone to stay.
Huo Li looked at Huo Qingci with a smile on his face and asked with concern, "Is Xiao Man giving birth?"
Huo Qingci's face was filled with a happy smile as he replied, "Yes, they are a pair of adorable twins, a boy and a girl!"
At this time, Huo Yining couldn't wait to squeeze through the crowd and said to Huo Qingci anxiously: "Dad, I want to see my sister!"
Xiao Ya carefully picked up her granddaughter so that Huo Yining could observe her closely.
Huo Yining stared at his little sister with wide eyes, his heart full of curiosity, but he was a little scared and didn't dare to reach out and hug this fragile little guy.
Huo Qingci turned to look at Huo Li and asked, "Where's Xiaohua? Why can't I see her?"
Huo Li smiled and explained, "She's still busy stewing chicken soup at home. She'll come over when we get back. I'll bring An An and Ning Ning over to check on the situation first."
Huo Yian tried hard to squeeze in next to Huo Qingci and pleaded in a low voice: "Dad, I want to see my sister too!"
Huo Qingci gently picked up Huo Yian and pointed at his son on the bed and said, "Sister and brother were born on the same day and look very similar. You can take a look at the younger brother first."
Huo Yian looked at his little brother who looked like a red mouse on the bed and said in a baby voice, "Dad, my brother is ugly, but my sister must be pretty."
Huo Qingci thought, fortunately Manman hasn't come out yet, if she heard it, it would probably affect her good mood.
"An An, little brother is not ugly. He will be as handsome as An An when he grows up. Look at how long and black his hair is."
"Dad, his face is very red as if he has been drinking."
Xiao Ya said, "The baby's skin will be red at first, but it will get whiter in a few days. An An, your parents are both good-looking, so your brothers and sisters will definitely be good-looking too."
