Su Xieqiu saw that he looked frustrated and felt like laughing.
She pinched Han Zhenyu's face and said, "Don't be angry. I didn't blame you for what I said just now. People like that must be dealt with as soon as possible. If she takes advantage of you, it will be very troublesome."
Su Xieqiu didn't dare to look down on her. That kind of woman was shameless and reckless. What wouldn't she do to achieve her goal?
Han Zhenyu looked at her and said apologetically, "Wife, I'm not angry. I just feel that I didn't handle the matter well and made you worry."
Su Xieqiu smiled and shook his head. "It's okay. Just be careful next time. This kind of thing is very sensitive. If you don't handle it well, your reputation will be ruined."
"Yeah, I know, it's getting late, go to bed."
Han Zhenyu helped her lie down, held her in his arms, and gently stroked her belly. She looked out the window, wondering what she was thinking.
………
The news of Widow Liu being beaten spread like wildfire the next day.
When the women in the village approached her door, they would spit and curse a few times to vent their anger.
Han Zhenyu and Su Xieqiu did not get involved. They just lived their own lives behind closed doors as usual.
Today is Sunday and Han Zhenyu is not at work. He picked up Grandma Du and Chenchen Anan in the afternoon.
A few days later, when Grandma Du was taking Su Xieqiu for a walk outside, she heard Sun Dahan's wife say that Widow Liu and a man from the neighboring village were blocked on the bed by people wearing red armbands last night.
The man had been taken to the commune, and although the outcome was unknown, the women in the Sanhua Brigade breathed a sigh of relief, finally not having to keep an eye on their men all day.
Two months later.
Nanping County Hospital, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
A nurse came out of the delivery room holding a baby in her arms. "Who is Su Xieqiu's family member?"
Han Zhenyu rushed over and asked anxiously: "I, I am, doctor, how is my wife?"
"It's born, a boy, weighing 15.7 jin." The nurse held the baby in front of him.
Han Zhenyu took a quick look and quickly asked her, "Doctor, where is my wife? How is she?"
"She's still giving birth." The nurse saw that he didn't take the baby and kept asking his wife, then rolled her eyes at him.
Grandma Du, who was standing nearby, quickly took the child over and thanked the nurse repeatedly, "Thank you, doctor."
"You're welcome." The nurse handed the baby to her and turned back into the delivery room.
Han Zhenyu was heartbroken when he heard his wife's screams from inside. He leaned against the door and looked inside anxiously, shouting, "Wife, wife, are you okay?"
Grandma Du, Aunt Du, and my uncle and aunt were looking at the child with curiosity. When they heard his cry, Aunt Du quickly pulled him over.
He whispered, "Zhenyu, stop shouting. Your wife will get nervous if she hears you. Women have to go through this when giving birth. Be nice to her in the future."
Han Zhenyu stared at the door of the delivery room without blinking, his heart almost in his throat.
He clenched his fists, his palms were soaked with sweat, but he was unaware.
Hearing the painful cries coming from the delivery room, Han Zhenyu wanted to go in and accompany his wife.
As soon as he pushed the door, the nurse rushed out, "What are you doing in here? Get out now."
Grandma Du handed the child to her aunt-in-law and came over to hit him twice, "What do you want to do, you little brat? That's the delivery room, what's the point of you going in there? Can you help your wife give birth or something?"
"Grandma, I'll just go in to see my wife." Han Zhenyu was so anxious that he wanted to get angry, and his tone of voice was not good.
Seeing how worried he was, Grandma Du patted him a few more times and said through gritted teeth, "Just sit there and wait. How can your wife have peace of mind giving birth if you're making so much noise outside?"
When Han Zhenyu heard what his grandma said, he quickly shut his mouth and looked inside through the gap in the door of the delivery room.
About ten or twenty minutes later, the sound of a baby crying was heard in the delivery room.
After a while, the nurse brought out another child. "It's another boy, weighing 15 pounds."
Grandma Du quickly took the child and was about to ask how her grandson's wife was doing.
But before she could speak, Han Zhenyu pulled the nurse's clothes and asked, "Doctor, is my wife okay? Can I go in and take a look?"
The nurse looked at him helplessly and said, "This is the delivery room. What is a man doing in there? Your wife is fine and energetic. She will be out soon. Wait outside."
Han Zhenyu's heart finally settled down. He felt that this short half day seemed like a century.
After carrying his wife to the ward and settling her down, Han Zhenyu realized that his clothes were all wet.
When Uncle Du came to deliver the meal, he saw his wife and mother each holding a child, smiling so hard that their teeth were showing.
His nephew was feeding his wife water.
"It's time to give birth so soon?" Uncle Du asked in shock.
When he got home to cook, he hadn't even entered the delivery room yet. The baby was born during the meal. Isn't that too fast?
When Grandma Du saw her son, she shouted happily, "Xianyong, you are here, come and see your little grandson."
Uncle Du put the food on the table, asked about Su Xieqiu's health, and then went to see the two children.
"Oh, how come he looks so good? He looks exactly like Zhenyu when he was a child."
Grandma Du and my aunt also nodded happily in agreement.
One of them said the noses were similar, another said the eyes were similar, and finally they said the mouths were also similar.
Su Xieqiu couldn't stand it any longer, so he leaned back on the quilt and joked, "Grandma, uncle, aunt, the skin on these two boys' faces is so red and wrinkled, and their eyes haven't even opened yet, and you can tell who they look like?"
"You can see it. Look at this little mouth, it's exactly the same as Zhenyu's when he was a child. And this upturned little nose..." Grandma Du was afraid that she wouldn't believe it, so she held the child in front of her and pointed it out to her.
Su Xieqiu looked at Han Zhenyu, then at the baby in the cradle, and felt that they were not alike at all.
She said honestly: "Grandma, I don't think so. These two boys are so ugly, not as handsome as their father."
Grandma Du was not happy to hear her granddaughter-in-law say that her great-grandson was ugly. She looked at the baby in her arms and murmured quietly, "How is he ugly? We are still young and haven't grown up yet. He will definitely be a handsome boy when he grows up."
My aunt-in-law also nodded and said, "That's right, our baby is not ugly at all, he is very handsome."
Han Zhenyu saw his wife giggling mischievously and gently pinched her face.
Uncle Du had already put the food on the table, including buns, millet porridge, boiled eggs, and a bowl of steamed egg custard.
Han Zhenyu brought a bowl of egg custard to Su Xieqiu, and after she finished eating, he served another bowl of millet porridge, peeled an egg and put it in it.
Uncle Du said, "When I came, your grandfather killed a chicken at home, and made chicken soup for your wife in the evening, and fried a few side dishes."
"Uncle, don't come over in the evening. Aunt will bring food over." Han Zhenyu just asked his aunt to go back and rest.
Grandma and my aunt help out during the day, and my aunt takes over at night. There will be a long time in the future, and the elders will have to take turns to take care of the children.
"Okay, I'll deliver it to you tomorrow morning." Uncle Du said.
