Chapter 307 Parents' Grace

Mr. Lu stroked his beard and took a look. "The twins are not small. They are still strong and look good. Let me touch them."

Mr. Lu touched them one by one and said, "These two little guys are in good health. They will be fine if you take good care of them."

Zhulan was relieved. The child in her arms was so small that she was really worried that the child would be in poor health. "With your words, I feel relieved."

Mr. Lu said cheerfully, "Don't worry."

The woman in labor had finished cleaning up. Xuemei couldn't move and had to stay here to recuperate. The room was cleaned and Xuemei covered herself with a quilt. Then Zhulan asked Mr. Lu to come in and take her pulse.

Mr. Lu stroked his beard and said, "Although the birth was smooth, my mother was in poor health two years ago and has not taken good care of herself in the past two years. This time, the twins have hurt her health again. It is better for her to take care of her health for at least five or six years before having children, otherwise it will damage her foundation."

Zhulan said: "We must take good care of ourselves."

Grandpa Lu thought that the Zhou couple not only cherished their own lives, but also the lives of their children. They are really good parents. "I will go out and write a prescription. It is not suitable to take medicine during the confinement period. I will prescribe some tonic medicine for the mother after the confinement period. The mother can take it and feed the baby. It can also replenish the vitality of the two premature babies."

Zhulan was very grateful, "Please excuse me, you are old."

Zhulan was particularly convinced of the old man's medical skills, and her and Zhou Shuren's health was the best proof of that.

Zhulan followed the old man out, then she remembered that she had not given the midwife a wedding gift, so she quickly took out two silver coins from her purse and said, "I'm sorry to bother you today. The red eggs are not cooked yet, so take this silver coin."

The midwife didn't care about the red eggs, she only cared about the money in front of her. Oh, she is really a good person, she gave out two dollars at a time!

Li came out of the kitchen, "Mom, I cooked red eggs. Here are ten red eggs."

Zhulan smiled. She didn't need to tell her now. Li knew what to do. Not bad, not bad. "The red eggs are ready. I'll take you out."

The midwife said cheerfully, "Don't bother, I can go out by myself."

Jiang Sheng looked at the two children and his wife and said, "Mom, I'll take the midwife out."

Zhulan said, "Okay."

Zhou Shuren invited Grandpa Lu to the front yard to chat. Grandpa Lu was in no hurry to leave and planned to stay overnight. Zhulan was even happier. She felt at ease knowing that Grandpa Lu stayed.

Jiang Sheng came back soon, and Zhu Lan said, "You take care of Xuemei first, I'll go cut some diapers."

Jiang Sheng replied, "Mom, I'll go home and get it. Xuemei has prepared everything for the child."

Zhulan believed more in what she had prepared. "No need, I've bought them all. Okay, you can go in."

Jiang Sheng felt embarrassed and said gratefully, "Mom, thank you for your hard work today."

Zhu Lan smiled and said, "Why is it so hard to serve your daughter? Come on, hurry in."

Jiang Sheng was touched by the kindness of his father-in-law and mother-in-law. If the Yue family had not come back today, he didn't know what would have happened at home. He smiled in his heart, thinking that these two boys would find the time to be born. They are both blessed boys.

Li came over and said, "Mom, I made chicken soup for my eldest sister. She'll be able to drink it soon."

Zhulan, "Thank you for your hard work today. Please heat up some more pots of hot water. Is the food ready?"

Li nodded, "All the dishes are ready, only two pots of steamed buns are left."

Zhulan said to Li, "Tell your mother and aunts to go to the front yard to chat first. I'll cut some diapers and come over in a while."

Li said, "Ah."

Zhulan sent her mother-in-law and others to the front yard, and then took the little girl back to the house. Zhulan signaled the little girl to bring back some hot water. The kang in the house was lit, and Zhulan cut eight diapers, rinsed them with hot water, and spread them on the kang mat to dry.

Xue Han saw her mother continue to cut the cotton cloth, "Mom, aren't there enough diapers?"

Zhulan lowered her head and said, "Come back after dinner, and I'll make quilts and small mattresses for your two nephews."

Xue Han thought about her nephew's clothes not fitting him well. The clothes she made for him were a little too big. "Mom, I'll also alter his clothes tonight."

Zhulan touched the little lady's hair. When the child was born, she was worried about having no clothes to wear. She didn't expect Xuehan to make clothes for the child. This aunt is a good one. "Good."

Zhulan cut the cloth, rinsed it with hot water and spread it on the kang. It would be almost dry by the time she had dinner.

Li came back, "Mom, we're waiting for you to have dinner!"

Zhulan rubbed her waist and said, "Let's go."

When they arrived at the front yard, even with torches lit and lanterns hung, the yard was still very dim. Zhulan thought that the dinners in ancient times in TV dramas were all fake, with lights on. The real dinner atmosphere in ancient times was terrifying.

Because they didn't bring much wine with them, they didn't drink at dinner. They just ate the food. The Zhou family was also very hungry. They had to rush on the road and cook. Oh, and Xuemei was giving birth to a baby. Now they were tired and hungry.

The Li family was not full to begin with, and their stomachs had been growling for a long time. In the yard, apart from the men at the table chatting a few words, the only other sounds were the sounds of eating.

Zhulan stood for a long time. It was late for dinner and she didn't have the energy to speak.

There were many boys in the Li family, so there were no steamed buns or dishes left after a meal. Li Xu asked her daughters-in-law to help Li clean up the dishes. Zhulan felt embarrassed, so she told Li to give the remaining braised pork to her sisters-in-law to take back.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren saw Li Xu and others off, and returned to the main courtyard to see Xuemei. Even if Xuemei had given birth to two children smoothly, she was exhausted. Jiang Sheng had already cleaned up the dishes while they were having dinner in his room.

Zhulan asked, "How is Xuemei?"

Jiang Sheng stood up quickly, "I just drank some chicken soup and fell asleep again."

Zhulan glanced at the two children. The two little guys were sleeping soundly without crying or making a fuss. "I'll depend on you to take care of them tonight."

She was terribly tired. If she hadn't been thinking about making a quilt for the child, her eyelids would have drooped long ago.

Jiang Sheng, "Mom, you should go to bed early. You've been exhausted all day."

Zhulan said, "I'll make the baby's quilt and go to sleep. That's enough, don't send me off."

Back in the main room, Zhou Shuren washed the diapers that were being dried. Zhulan saw Zhou Shuren pouring hot water for her. She rolled up her sleeves and said, "It is said that only when you have children do you know the kindness of your parents. I don't have any children, but I have six debts. I am really exhausted today."

Zhou Shuren felt sorry for Zhulan and was somewhat dissatisfied with his satisfied daughter. "Can't Xuemei give birth on another day?"

Zhu Lan chuckled, "This is childbirth, how can we change the date just like that?"

Zhou Shuren handed Zhulan a handkerchief and said, "I just feel sorry for you. You look so tired."

Zhulan washed her face but didn't rush to change her clothes. She sat down on the kang and took the needle and thread. "Please light two more candles for me. I'll make the quilt."

Zhou Shuren's face darkened, "Let the Zhao family do it for Xuemei tomorrow."

Zhulan said, "It's easy. The quilt for children is small. Just put cotton on it and sew it up. It will be done in a moment."

Zhou Shuren knew Zhulan's temper, so he could only help spread the cotton with a sullen face, hoping that Zhulan could rest soon.

Zhulan was very good at sewing and finished two small quilts and mattresses. She also made two diaper pads.

Zhou Shuren held the small blanket and said, "I'll send it to Jiang Sheng. You can also change your clothes and go to sleep!"

Zhulan's waist ached from sitting so much, and her eyelids couldn't bear it any longer. "Well, you can ask about Xuemei and the child's situation while you're at it."

"knew."

Zhulan changed her clothes and got into bed, then she remembered that she had forgotten to ask Jiang Sheng whether the baby was already nine months old. Her eyelids felt heavy, so she decided to ask him tomorrow!
