Lu Ze's heart sank to the bottom, and his whole body tensed up like a bowstring.
He hasn't been getting enough rest lately; his eyes are bloodshot, his lips are cracked, and he looks much more haggard.
Wu Wanying and the others grew increasingly anxious.
In the delivery room, Yu Yao lay limp on the delivery bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, completely exhausted.
Sweat soaked her hair and clung to her face, and her freshly changed clothes were also drenched. She looked as if she had just been pulled out of the water.
Dr. Cai wrapped the two cleaned babies in swaddling clothes, brought them to Yu Yao's side, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Comrade Yu, you are twins, a boy and a girl. The older one is a brother and the younger one is a sister. They are both very healthy."
Yu Yao glanced weakly at the swaddled baby and forced a tired smile. "Thank you, Dr. Cai."
"You're welcome, it's what I should do."
Yu Yao looked at the child with a kind smile, then looked away as if she had thought of something, her voice hoarse: "Dr. Cai, please, please tell my family for me first. They must be terrified if they don't hear me later."
The delivery wasn't smooth at first, and to conserve her energy, she gritted her teeth and didn't make a sound. Fortunately, Dr. Cai was experienced, and with her massage, the baby was delivered smoothly.
Dr. Cai knew she had just narrowly escaped death, and nodded with a soft heart, "I'll have Nurse Huang go out and tell her that I'll clean you up first."
Outside the ward.
Wu Wanying held Cui Zhizhou's hand, extremely nervous, "Zhizhi has been inside for so long, why hasn't she come out yet? I hope nothing bad has happened to her."
Cui Zhizhou frowned with worry, "No, Zhizhi is a lucky person and will be alright."
“My father-in-law is right. Zhizhi has been inside for five or six hours. She’ll definitely be out soon.” Hu Lingyu looked at the delivery room, her face solemn, and murmured.
Just when everyone was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
The tightly closed delivery room door was suddenly opened, and a nurse wearing a mask opened the door, and everyone immediately crowded around.
"Nurse Huang, has my love been born?" Lu Ze asked.
Nurse Huang nodded. "They've given birth! They've given birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Both mother and babies are safe. Comrade Yu is cleaning up right now. She was worried you might be concerned, so she asked me to come out and let you know everything is alright. She'll be out soon."
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's good that you've given birth, it's good that you've given birth."
Wu Wanying and Hu Lingyu couldn't help but tear up, their voices choked with emotion.
Lu Ze's eyes reddened where no one could see him.
After notifying the family, Nurse Huang closed the delivery room door again and went back inside.
Yu Yao and Lu Ze were both prominent figures in the family compound. In this era where gossip is the best form of entertainment, any little thing they did would attract a lot of attention, let alone the joyous occasion of having twins.
In less than an hour, everyone, whether they knew each other or not, knew that the wife of Regiment Commander Lu of the Third Regiment had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl.
Of course, it didn't escape the ears of Qin Lamei and Wang Xiu, who were recuperating in the hospital.
Qin Lamei knocked over the lunchbox, spilling the chicken porridge all over the floor. Looking at the food on the ground, she seemed to be thinking of something, and asked Wang Xiu with a gloomy expression.
"Did you find the sorceress I asked you to find?"
Wang Xiu nodded without changing her expression. "It's already agreed. There's a sorceress surnamed Wang in Hujiawan Brigade under Qingyang Commune. She was famous on the island before liberation."
"Go and help me get discharged from the hospital. We'll go there tomorrow."
