Chapter 66

The old lady with a haggard look is definitely not an idle person, otherwise she wouldn't have said such words just now.

As a result, after being squeezed out repeatedly, her eyebrows and eyes were suddenly upset. She stood up suddenly, rolled up her sleeves and was about to curse.

Unexpectedly, the tall man who had been standing at the door of the delivery room like a wooden stake suddenly turned his head and looked at him with a cold look.

Huo Xiao deliberately did not wear military uniform for activities because he had to hold or support his wife these two days. Without the restraint of the green military uniform, he looked even more formidable.

People tend to bully the weak and fear the strong, so the old lady froze in her tracks, not knowing whether to move forward or backward.

In the end, it was the family members who hurriedly reached out and pulled the old lady back, as if she had died.

Seeing this, Huo Xiao, filled with anxiety, turned his head again and continued to stand by the stone looking for his wife.

At this moment, Miaomiao, who had been sitting next to her grandmother, suddenly jumped off the stool, ran to her father and took his hand.

Suddenly, there was a warm little hand in the cold palm, and Huo Xiao curled his fingers subconsciously.

Then he lowered his head and met a pair of large eyes with distinct black and white... He could clearly see worry in them.

Tingting has said many times that Miaomiao is very smart, very sensitive to adults' emotions, but also very considerate.

Huo Xiao had discovered this before, but this time he was deeply moved.

The little girl was obviously very uneasy, but she still wanted to come over to comfort herself.

At this moment, Huo Xiao couldn't tell how he felt. He was not good at saying nice things.

Finally, he tried to force a smile at his daughter, then bent over and picked her up, saying in a gentle voice, "Don't be afraid, Mom will be out soon."

Miaomiao still didn't say anything, but just hugged her father's neck in silence.

Seeing this, Guoguo also jumped off the stool, ran to his father, hugged his legs, and leaned against him.

He looked ferocious just now, but after the man of suspected profession hung two delicate little dolls on him, his ferocity instantly diminished.

The middle-aged woman who was also frightened and didn't dare to say anything was amazed and couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Sister, your son looks fierce, but I didn't expect that he actually loves children."

The key is not to favor boys over girls. Didn’t the man see his son pass away, and didn’t he put down the girl in his arms?

This point alone makes people look up to him and he cannot be considered a bad person.

Hu Xiu liked to hear her family praised. She was so proud that she couldn't help but add, "That's right. Not only is he good to his children, he also loves his wife. Look at him, he's as stiff as a pillar."

The middle-aged woman thought she was usually pretty good to her daughter-in-law, but it was rare for the eldest sister to be so nice to her.

Her first reaction was: "Your daughter-in-law must be a good one too."

Hearing this, Hu Xiu felt that these old ladies had good taste and could get along well with each other! She immediately became interested in talking to them.

In fact, she is not as stable as she appears, but her son and children have lost their voices, so she has to hold on.

In fact, the palms of her hands hidden in her sleeves had been wiped with sweat several times without leaving any traces.

Chatting and bragging can help relieve tension to some extent...

So, the two women of similar age, although meeting for the first time, started chatting like old friends...

In the delivery room, two hours passed slowly amid the screams.

Not to mention Huo Xiao, even Hu Xiu's brows were gradually filled with anxiety at this moment.

Just as I was thinking about whether I should be thick-skinned enough to knock on the delivery room door and go in to check on my daughter-in-law, I suddenly heard hurried footsteps in the distance in the corridor.

The only one who remained motionless was Huo Xiao, who was staring at the door of the delivery room with a child on each leg.

The rest of the people looked over subconsciously.

Then I saw a beautiful woman with an anxious look on her face running towards me. If the hospital had not prohibited running, she would have been running very fast.

Behind her, there was a tall and strong man with a scar on his brow, looking like a gangster.

Ruishuang had no idea that she had impressed so many people. At this moment, her heart and eyes were filled with her sister.

So, when I saw my aunt-in-law and brother-in-law were still waiting, my heart tightened even more: "Aunt Xiu, how long has my sister been in there? Why hasn't she given birth yet?"

Hu Xiu stood up, pulled him to sit on a stool, and said, "It's been more than two hours."

Then he smiled politely at the man carrying the bags, "Comrade Xie, why are you here?"

Hearing this, before Xie Hao could even open his mouth, Zhui Qing took the initiative to say, "Comrade Xie is a good man. He saw me carrying a lot of bags and was worried that it would be inconvenient for me to take the bus, so he drove me here specially."

Hearing this, Hu Xiu, who had already received the inside information from her daughter-in-law, could not help but look at the man a few more times before she took the soup from him with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, comrade. Thank you for sending our daughter here."

Xie Hao is 32 years old, looks like a gangster. Although he is not a very strict person, he is not the kind of person who always speaks sweetly. He just nodded when he heard it. After all, this time it was indeed a coincidence.

He just nodded, felt the attitude was too cold, and said, "It's just a small effort." Then he stood there without saying anything.

Does this mean you don't want to leave?

Hu Xiu twitched his lips, thinking that the other person had helped after all, he felt embarrassed to let the other person stand side by side with his son, so he asked him to sit down.

At this time, the middle-aged woman was eager to come over again.

She loves to chat, gossip, and is really curious.

I really don't know how this family looks like. The woman who gave birth just now was so stunning. I have never seen a more beautiful girl in my life, especially since she looks a bit like the actor named Wei...

At this moment, another one came, she seemed to be a woman who had just given birth, she was also so pretty that people couldn't take their eyes off her.

I just wanted to find a man who was a bit fierce...

Thinking of this, the middle-aged woman's gaze slid between the two men...each of whom looked more difficult to deal with than the other.

In the end, the gossipy soul was suppressed.

Just as the middle-aged woman's mind was full of random thoughts, the sound of a baby crying was heard from the delivery room.

All of a sudden, everyone rushed forward, chanting, "It's born!" "It's born!"

At this time, everyone was anxiously staring at the door of the delivery room, and no one had the time to worry about who the baby was from.

Inside the delivery room, the anxiety outside seemed to be sensed, and soon the sound of approaching footsteps could be heard.

Then, when everyone was on edge, a little nurse poked her head out from the gap in the door.

When meeting more than a dozen pairs of heated gazes, the nurse, who was already used to such battles, asked in a clear voice, "Who is Xu Le's relative?"

The middle-aged woman who had been talking to Hu Xiu enthusiastically stepped forward and asked excitedly, "Me! My daughter-in-law gave birth? How is she?"

As he said this, he slapped his son hard, who was obviously laughing out of delight.

The young man came back to his senses after the pain and quickly asked, "Yes, nurse, how is my wife?"

The nurse was very satisfied with the family's attitude and smiled: "The mother is fine. She will be out soon. The weather is too cold, so the baby will be pushed out with her. By the way, it's a boy."

Having said that, he turned around and was about to close the door.

Hu Xiu hurriedly asked, "Comrade nurse, may I ask how my daughter-in-law is doing? Is everything going well?"

Speaking of this, the nurse, who already had a good attitude, immediately smiled widely: "Auntie, you are talking about Li Wei... ahem... Comrade Li Ting, right? She is doing well and should be well soon."

Seeing that the young nurse was easy to talk to, the old lady who had been keeping silent all this time also hurriedly asked: "What about me? How long will it take for my eldest grandson to come out?"

Upon hearing this, the young nurse, who hated this kind of patriarchal question the most, rolled her eyes and slammed the door.

People...

The old lady was furious. She looked at Hu Xiu suspiciously. After not noticing that he was dressed differently from her, she said angrily, "What does that mean? Why is this nurse judging people by their appearance?"

Hu Xiu and Lu Qing looked at each other and neither of them said a word.

Because they had already guessed too much information from the two words "藺偉" that the nurse had just said incorrectly.

This girl is probably what my daughter-in-law/sister calls a 'fan', right?

The little nurse is right.

The family was anxious for about half an hour, and then they heard the loud cry of a baby again.

At this time, there were only two families waiting at the door of the delivery room.

Huo Xiao inexplicably had a feeling that this child was his and Tingting's.

So he took a step forward and was blocked in the front.

The old lady was so angry when she saw this. Just as she was about to say something weird, another head popped out of the delivery room door.

Still the young nurse from before, she looked directly at the man outside the door and said with a smile, "Comrade Ting has given birth. She is a very nice person. It's a girl."

Knowing that his wife and children were safe, Huo Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he realize that his back was already sweaty. "Thank you."

Hu Xiu and Lu Qing were also very happy and quickly expressed their gratitude.

"What are you so proud of? She snatched it so quickly, but she's still a girl." The old lady muttered to herself, thinking her voice was quiet, but everyone heard it.

But no one was willing to pay attention to her at this moment. They all stood at the door waiting expectantly without moving.

Ten or so minutes later, the woman in labor could hear the last, particularly loud cry of her baby.

The old lady jumped up and said, "My grandson, the one with the loud voice, must weigh at least eight kilograms!"

He was not satisfied with being proud of himself, he also gave a sympathetic look to Hu Xiu and the others. He felt sympathy for the three families, because only their family had no one with a penis.

However, before she could finish feeling proud, the door was opened again by a familiar nurse. She said to the old lady and her family with a stern face, "The boy has won. Mother and daughter are safe."

The old lady was confused: "What do you mean? What woman?"

The young nurse curled her lips, trying hard to suppress the urge to roll her eyes, and explained: "It's a girl." After saying this, she quickly closed the door, obviously not wanting to get involved.

She did have foresight. The old lady, who had just come back to her senses from the shock of the moment, staggered and began to cry out “ouch” while covering her chest.

In fact, the old lady wanted to curse more, but her daughter-in-law was very powerful. If she heard that she disliked the little girl, she would definitely find an opportunity to beat her in the future.

Thinking of this, the old lady felt even more dizzy.

Of course, Huo Xiao and his group didn't care what the old lady was like.

After Ruting was pushed out, everyone gathered around him.

"..." Huo Xiao had many questions to ask, but when he saw his wife's pale face, he could only hold her hand, unable to utter a word out of his heartache.

Ruiting did not fall asleep, but she had no strength left. Seeing her husband's eyes were red, she smiled at him.

Seeing this, Huo Xiao couldn't hold back his tears any longer and they fell down.

"...I'm fine, why are you crying?"

Huo Xiao choked up, still unable to utter a word. After a while, regardless of the presence of outsiders, he took his wife's hand, brought it to his lips, and kissed her tenderly.

Hu Xiu was also distressed, and hurriedly asked her daughter-in-law who had been placed on the hospital bed: "Do you want something to eat?"

Ruiting shook her head slightly, her voice weak: "No, I'm tired."

Hu Xiu hurriedly coaxed him: "Then sleep for a while, and eat after you wake up."

Hearing this, Li Ting blinked and turned her head to look at her daughter.

Huo Xiao immediately assured: "I'm watching the child, don't worry."

After hearing this, Ruting, who had been holding on, touched the dragon-phoenix embryo's head again before closing his eyes.

Wake up again.

Ruting was woken up by hunger.

She looked at the dark room and was confused for a moment before she realized that she was in the hospital.

"Awake? How are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Huo Xiao, who had been watching, felt the hand in his palm being pulled out. He immediately leaned over.

Ruting pursed her lips and said, "I'm a little thirsty. Where are mom and the others?"

"I asked them to go back first and let them take my turn tomorrow morning." Huo Xiao said as he turned around to pour some water. He tested the temperature himself before sitting down on the bed. He held up his wife with one hand, letting her lean against his arms, and with the other hand he handed the teacup to her lips.

Ruting said helplessly: "We are outside, I can do it myself." Three women who gave birth on the same day were all placed in one ward, and if they were seen, there would be no end to the gossip.

Huo Xiao didn't care at all and passed the teacup to his wife's lips again: "I'm not wearing a military uniform."

"Then you should wear your military uniform tomorrow."

After drinking the water, Ruiting ate a bowl of chicken soup before he had time to look at the little red monkey next to him.

She wasn't surprised to know that babies are born ugly.

Or maybe it was because of her mother's filter that she thought her daughter was pretty...with delicate features.

Suddenly, Ruting hugged the girl a little closer and said in surprise, "Brother, look, our girl also has a teardrop mole under her eye."

When his wife was sleeping, Huo Xiao had already touched his daughter countless times, and naturally he did not miss the tear mole under her eye.

Now seeing his wife happy, he couldn't help but be happy too: "The child looks like you, mom said so too."

Really? Apart from the teardrop mole, she couldn't see anything else and stared at her daughter carefully for a few more times.

Suddenly she thought it was good that her daughter looked like her, so she said proudly: "Luckily she looks like me."

Huo Xiao was good-tempered and smiled: "Luckily I look like you."

After all, Ruiting was exhausted. She only sat for a short while before she felt sleepy again.

But this time, she couldn't bear to let her husband sit by the bed and wait. It was below zero outside, and how warm could it be in the house? It would be a torture for him to sit there all night.

He insisted that the man take off his coat and lie down with her before he felt at ease and closed his eyes.

Huo Xiao, who was lying on his side on the bed, holding his wife, felt soft and powerful inside.

Have a good night's sleep.

When I opened my eyes again, I felt refreshed.

She looked at her mother-in-law and elder sister who were holding the baby and asked with a smile, "Where is Huo Xiao?"

Hu Xiu came over immediately and asked happily, "Are you awake? Are you hungry?"

Ruishuang also asked happily: "How is it? Does it still hurt? Huo Xiao has gone back to wash and change clothes. You have to be careful with the child at this time. But he should be back soon."

Hearing this, Ruting, who didn't know what day it was, asked in confusion: "It doesn't hurt much anymore. What time is it?"

Hu Xiu helped her daughter-in-law to stand up, and then placed a pillow she brought from home on her back before she smiled and replied, "It's 9:30 in the morning!"

Speak of the devil, and as they were talking, the door of the ward was pushed open.

Huo Xiao, dressed in a neat military uniform and carrying a cloth bag, strode in.

Following behind him came Xie Hao, who was wearing a police uniform and happened to meet him at the door.

Ruiting, Hu Xiu and others were not surprised.

However, the families of the two women next door who were giving birth were all confused.

The middle-aged woman who was on good terms with Hu Xiu didn't hesitate and asked directly: "Are you two soldiers?" Or officers with four pockets?

Huo Xiao was puzzled, but nodded anyway.

Xie Hao pointed to his round cap badge and said, "I am a policeman."

People... don't look like them at all!
