Yang Xiaobei felt relieved when he heard that the child was asleep. He gently opened the thermos and filled a bowl of brown sugar and egg water for Jiang Shushu.
"I was afraid you were hungry, so I asked Mom to make some brown sugar and egg soup. You can eat a little to fill your stomach first, and Mom and Dad will bring other delicious food later."
"Okay, you're back so soon. Have you had breakfast?"
"I've eaten. Mom cooked me a big bowl of noodles with eggs and pork."
…
Jiang Shushu ate four eggs and a bowl of sugar water and stopped eating. "No, I'm a little sick of eating four. They tasted pretty good. You can have the remaining two."
Yang Xiaobei shook his head, "I'm still full. If you're tired of this meal, you can eat it next time. This is a thermos bucket. It will still be warm at noon. You can keep it. Let's keep it first. If you really don't want to eat at noon, I will help you finish it then.
…
At 7:35, Jiang He and his wife came to the hospital and brought Jiang Shushu shredded chicken millet porridge and bone yam soup.
Xu Hehua: "Shushu, are you feeling uncomfortable? If you are, tell Mom."
"No, he can get out of bed and walk around now. I think he'll be discharged in a few days."
"That's good."
Yang Xiaobei took the shredded chicken and millet porridge and poured a bowl for Uncle Jiang: "Shushu, have some more staple food."
"good."
Jiang He and his wife looked curiously at the twins sleeping soundly on the bed.
Jiang He: "These two kids are so pretty! They're dozens of times prettier than Shushu was when he was little. They'll definitely be even better than him when they grow up. When Shushu was little, he looked like a little chicken, skinny, dark, and tiny. It's true that better living conditions make a difference; even the children born are prettier."
Jiang Shushu: "..." Dad, you said you can praise the child, so why did you bring your daughter along? Are you polite? Is it because we are related by generations? Now that you have a child, I, your daughter, am worthless?
Xu Hehua: "It is indeed better looking than the eldest brother and Shushu who were born."
After Yang Huan and Yang Le had a good sleep, they saw many people in the ward and started babbling.
Jiang He and his wife hurried forward and each picked up one child. Neither of the two children cried, but smiled happily at them. In the end, these two little guys made Jiang He and his wife happier than they were.
"Good boy, so good, good grandson/good granddaughter, so good..." Jiang He and his wife kept saying nice things as if they were free.
…
At 8:30, the doctor came on time to examine Jiang Shushu. Yang Xiaobei and Jiang He, who was holding the child, were waiting at the door.
…
After making sure that Jiang Shushu was fine, Yang Xiaobei decided to go home and sleep so that he could conserve his energy for night watch.
"Shushu, Mom and Dad, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll wake up and make it. When it's ready, bring it over and we'll eat together."
Jiang Shushu: "Let's have a bowl of noodles."
Jiang He: "Your mother and I are not picky. We can eat anything as long as we can fill our stomachs. It's up to you."
Yang Xiaobei went home, took a shower, and went to bed immediately.
On the other side, in a room in a small alley, three grown men gathered together happily playing cards.
A dark and thin man ran in and said, "Boss, big business, big business, we have a big business, we will be rich once we finish the business."
"Old Four, what are you dreaming about in broad daylight? How can we make any money in this damn place? We have been here for two months, and all we have is money going out. No money coming in. If we could make a fortune, would we still be sitting here playing cards? I would have gone to the department store and eaten at the state-owned restaurant a long time ago." I had planned to come to this small city, Q City, to make a fortune, but I didn't expect the security in Q City to be so good. Not to mention making a fortune, I haven't earned a penny in two months. I have spent all my savings for two months. Fortunately, I will leave in a few days, otherwise who can withstand it?
"Boss, didn't you say a month ago that someone wanted to buy a pair of beautiful twins for 1,000 yuan? I found them."
When the eldest, second and third brothers heard what the fourth brother said, they stopped playing cards, looked at the fourth brother, and said in unison: "Tell me in detail." Could this be the legendary "close the business for three years and make a profit for three years after opening"?
"I had a stomachache today, so I went to the hospital. Since I was already there, I decided to go to the obstetrics and gynecology department to see if there were any beautiful babies. And guess what? I saw a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. Boss, let me tell you, those twins are so fair and tender, so beautiful! I've never seen such beautiful children in my life. We can even raise the price then."
The eldest brother: "Have you found out about the child's situation?"
"The baby was born last night, a normal birth. The mother is staying in the hospital. We have to act quickly, otherwise they will be discharged in two days."
"Is it really that good-looking?" What's so good about a newborn? Besides, it's just born, and its vitality is not strong. If you're not careful, it will fall into your hands. If it's ugly, there's really no need to take action. It's a waste of time and effort.
"Boss, I'm not lying to you. She's really beautiful, fair and tender. That round little face is so pretty. I saw that the child's father is very handsome, so how bad can the child be? I also know that the child's father stayed with her all night and has gone home to sleep. Only two old men and women around 50 years old are left to look after the child. This is definitely a good opportunity for us."
The eldest brother said: "You wait here for me. I will go and ask if the person who bought the twins still wants them. If he does, we will make a fortune and leave immediately. If he doesn't want them, there is no need to waste time. The children are too young and we probably won't be able to raise them and find new buyers."
The fourth brother: "Then you go quickly, boss. We don't know when that man will come back. We must end this quickly." I have lived a hard life for two months. I have had enough. I must make some money in Q City before I can leave, otherwise this trip to Q will be in vain.
An hour later, the eldest brother came back and said, "Someone wants it. He also said that if the child is pretty enough, he will add another 100 yuan."
The other three said, "That's great."
The four of them were led by the boss, and they sat together to discuss countermeasures. The boss told everyone what they needed to do.
"Be sure to pay attention. If you succeed, each of you will get 275 yuan, delicious food, and spicy drinks. If you fail, you can come back and eat pickled vegetables and steamed buns. Let's go."
When several people arrived at the hospital, they began to divide the work and act with only one goal: to steal the twins from the hospital without anyone noticing, and then sell them and leave immediately after taking the money.
At the hospital, not long after Yang Xiao went back to sleep, Jiang Shushu felt a little sleepy, so he told Jiang He and his wife not to let the child out of his sight, and then lay down to sleep.
