Zhang Binglin wrapped the tobacco leaves, took out the pipe he carried with him, tapped it lightly on the wooden chair a few times, inserted the wrapped tobacco leaves into the cigarette butt, took out a match and lit the cigarette.
"Sorry, smoking is not allowed in the hospital." A nurse in a nurse's uniform said to Zhang Binglin with a smile.
Zhang Binglin leaned over to look at the fairy-like nurse, smiled awkwardly, and quickly put out the cigarette.
Hearing the nurse's voice, Zhang Jizong subconsciously looked up. Even though his face had absorbed too much sunlight, he was still a handsome young man.
"Who are Kang Shumei's family members? Are Kang Shumei's family members here?" The door of the delivery room suddenly opened, and a doctor wearing a mask called out loudly.
"I am, I am, I am his man." Upon hearing the voice, Zhang Jizong quickly jumped up from the chair and walked quickly to the door of the delivery room.
Zhang Binglin and Wu Ju followed. Before the doctor could speak, Wu Ju asked, "Is he a man?"
As a highly educated doctor, he naturally couldn't stand such ignorant people who favored boys over girls. He replied seriously, "You'll understand after you give birth."
"Oh my god! The baby hasn't been born yet? What a rubbish hospital! It's not even as good as Liu Erniang, the midwife in our village. Giving birth is so difficult..."
"Mother..." Zhang Jizong yelled, and she stopped chattering and dancing, and stood aside, muttering to herself in a low voice.
"Doctor, how is my wife?"
"Sign it! The responsibility letter. At the critical moment, will you protect the adult or the child?"
The doctor handed him an agreement and asked him to sign. He read it carefully. Every word was related to his life. His heart tightened suddenly, his hands shook violently, and fear and terror came over him.
He didn't want to abandon either his wife or child, because they had been through so much in the past five years, and he had been looking forward to this child for five years.
"Ji Zong, please sign! You must protect the child! You know your own situation. This child is precious. You can't let your emotions get the better of you. The Zhang family's incense cannot be cut off in your hands. You can find another wife if you lose her, but I don't know if you are destined to have this child! Sign quickly! Protect the child." Wu Ju came close to Ji Zong and persuaded him in a low voice.
"Doctor, if we sign the bail for the adult, will our child be lost?" Ji Zong didn't hear what Wu Ju said at all. After an inner struggle, he looked up and asked the doctor.
"That's not necessarily true. We're just telling you the worst-case scenario. Because your wife is having twins and the first baby's position isn't very straight, there are certain risks."
After hearing the doctor's advice, Ji Zong signed the agreement to keep the child without hesitation.
The doctor took the letter of responsibility and returned to the delivery room. Another long wait followed. The joy he had felt at becoming a father was now gone. Ji Zong's heart was filled with endless fear. His world suddenly turned from colorful to gray, and his heart felt as if it was being burned.
Time goes by little by little...
The door of the delivery room finally opened. When Ji Zong heard the doctor calling his name, he rushed to the door like crazy.
"Doctor, how is my wife? Did she give birth? Is she okay?" Ji Zong was first concerned about Shumei's safety and kept asking about her condition.
Wu Jue still said the same old thing, anxious to know whether the child was safe and whether it was a boy or a girl.
The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Ji Zong with a smile, "Congratulations! Both mother and daughter are safe. What a beautiful pair of sisters."
"Thank you, doctor. Thank you, doctor. I'm glad you're safe. I'm glad you're safe. When can I go in to see my wife and children?"
"Don't worry, just wait at the door. The nurse will push them out later."
Ji Zong thanked the doctor again, and the doctor returned to the delivery room with a smile.
The heavy stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. Ji Zong finally smiled and sat back in his chair and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Wu Ju's face was longer than a horse's, while Zhang Binglin said nothing, secretly happy that he had two little granddaughters. In his heart, no matter whether it was a boy or a girl, they were all the blood of his Zhang family and were a happy event worth celebrating. As long as the children were safe and healthy, it would be fine.
