Chapter 406 An Unexpected Joy
As soon as Dr. Jiang finished speaking, everyone in the ward was stunned.
Song Lubai recalled the pain she had just experienced and began to feel fear.
Wei Zhao said, "No wonder, no wonder your belly looks big, but your first child was so small."
Before long, Song Lubai experienced a sharp pain in her abdomen, and her second child was born.
After cleaning her up, Dr. Jiang said, "It's another girl. Congratulations on the birth of your two daughters."
Before Song Lubai fainted, she knew she had given birth to two daughters. The first thing she said when she woke up was that she would never have any more children.
She really didn't want to suffer this crime a second time.
Wei Zhao was cleaning her lower body when he heard this. He looked up and smiled, saying, "No more, no more. You had twins in one pregnancy, and the older one suffered enough. The two babies have already done enough."
"Where are the children? I need to see them."
Wei Yang put the child on the bed, propped her up with pillows, and helped her sit up.
Looking at the two red and wrinkled children, Song Lubai said with red eyes, "Why are they so ugly? They look like little old men."
Looking at the child, she inexplicably burst into tears.
Who would want to mistreat a child born from such a desperate act of love?
Remembering what her mother had done to her in her dream, tears streamed down her face.
Tears streamed down her face, making Wei Yang's heart ache terribly.
He sat on the edge of the bed, holding her and her two children, and asked her in a trembling voice, "What's wrong?"
Song Lubai didn't know what was wrong with her. She cried and laughed at the same time, saying, "I'm happy. Our daughter, we should treat her well."
Wei Yang repeatedly said, "If we don't treat our children well, who will?"
This was the first time Wei Zhao had ever seen Song Lubai so emotional. She had experienced something similar right after giving birth, but as the child grew older, that feeling gradually dissipated.
It's not that I don't love my child anymore, it's that I can control those feelings.
"You're awake. I'll go get Dr. Jiang."
Song Lubai wiped away her tears and said, "You gave birth to twins at once, so that can of formula won't last long. Tell your older sister to get a few more cans, and you should also get some goat milk."
She had to feed herself too, and her body was feeling uncomfortable from the fullness.
As the two were talking, Dr. Jiang came in. Seeing that Song Lubai had tears on her face, he said, "You can't cry during your postpartum period. It's a joyous occasion to have a new addition to the family. You gave birth to twins, so it's even more joyous. You should be happy."
Song Lubai said shyly, "I'm so happy, I'm crying from happiness."
But she doesn't want to experience that kind of joyous occasion again.
She felt like she was going to die when she gave birth, and she didn't want to die again; it was just too painful.
After examining her, Dr. Jiang said, "There's nothing wrong with your health. During your postpartum period, avoid cold water and drafts. The same goes for the babies. Since you're carrying twins, they're already smaller than other babies, so you'll need to be extra careful in taking care of them. These are the cold months, and the babies can't get cold either..."
Song Lubai stayed at the health center for three days. When she returned home, she was wrapped tightly in a quilt, so Wei Yang didn't let her walk and carried her all the way home.
Since she returned home, people have been coming to deliver things to her house one after another.
That's just how things are in the production and construction corps. If someone can even send you some brown sugar, then they're considered to be doing quite well.
Zhao Hongying brought eight eggs and two sets of small clothes.
“I originally only made one set, but who would have thought you would have twins? I’ve been rushing to finish another set these past few days. It’s made with flawed fabric, so please don’t mind it.”
Zhao Hongying had excellent needlework skills; each of the two sets of little clothes was paired with a pair of little shoes.
Children's things are so cute, Song Lubai loves them to bits.
"What do you mean by 'dislike' or 'dislike'? I would never dislike what you make."
Even while Song Lubai was in postpartum confinement, she didn't neglect her work at the food workshop.
Fortunately, things in the workshop were back on track. Yu Lin made several trips there, and Deng Hong would come to her house if anything happened. Nothing went wrong during the days leading up to the Lunar New Year.
What distressed her was that since the birth of the two children, the couple hadn't had a good night's sleep.
If she poops, pees, gets hungry, or cries, someone has to get up and clean her up. Although Wei Yang takes care of everything, they're all in the same bed, and she still has to breastfeed. How can she sleep peacefully?
Hearing her baby cry, Song Lubai's initial excitement after giving birth had completely faded.
In the middle of the night, Wei Yang got up to change the baby's diaper, while Song Lubai lay there with her eyes open and didn't move.
After Wei Yang changed and lay back down with the baby, Song Lubai said, "What will I do after my postpartum period? It's still cold, I can't just not go back to work."
Like Zhao Dongmei, she carried her child out on her back. When the child cried, was hungry, or wet herself, she had to soothe her. It was manageable with one child, but now that she had two, she couldn't possibly carry one in her left hand and one in her right, could she?
Wei Yang had a nanny at home when he was a child. He gently patted her shoulder and said, "Why don't we find someone trustworthy to come and help us? We can find someone from our relatives. It's winter now, and the workers don't have to work in the fields much. It wouldn't be surprising if someone from our hometown came to help us."
Song Lubai racked her brains for a long time but couldn't think of a suitable candidate.
If the people they hire go out and spread rumors, it will have a negative impact on both of them.
Wei Yang couldn't think of a suitable person for the time being.
Hearing the two children smacking their lips in their sleep, Song Lubai felt bitter.
If she only had one child, she could take the child to work when the child is older and the weather is better. With the child in front of her, she wouldn't be in a hurry.
“I sent a telegram to our mother a few days ago, wondering if she will bring Jianshe and his brother over this year.”
Wei Yang always sent messages by telegram, because he thought mailing was too slow, regardless of how much money it cost.
Last year, Song Lubai didn't want her mother to come to see her, but this year, after giving birth, she has no one to help her at home, and now she actually wants her mother to come.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, the food workshop delivered its last batch of goods before the holiday.
The price had been agreed upon beforehand, and this time Zhao Hongying and Lao Wang went with Yu Lin again.
All payments were settled before the Lunar New Year, including payments for the vermicelli and the shoemaking class.
The group also submitted the work summary of the business office.
After a busy day, Zhao Hongying and Deng Hong came to Song Lubai's house to tell her about the day's events.
The food workshop went smoothly, which put Song Lubai at ease.
When the conversation shifted away from work and turned to children, Song Lubai, holding her baby, said with a worried expression, "How am I going to go back to work with my baby after my postpartum period?"
Zhao Hongying had something to say, but she didn't mention it when Deng Hong was around.
Neither of them could come up with a good solution for her. It was almost lunchtime, so they got up and left.
A short while later, Zhao Hongying returned.
"Xiao Song, my sister is coming over after the New Year. If you don't mind, I can have her look after your child. Don't worry, she used to take care of my brother's child at home, so she has experience. You don't need to pay her, just provide her with meals."
