As she lay in bed that night, Su Xia muttered to herself, "Jianguo, do you think they feel they've been taken advantage of?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jianguo's lips twitched. He really wanted to say, "If it weren't for them, I might be dead already!"
I still comforted her because she was pregnant and missed her daughter-in-law a lot.
"Since I'm giving it to you, just accept it. Next time you go back, bring some fine grains with you!"
Su Xia nodded, but she was still shocked. The old commander was as generous as ever. 50 yuan was enough to buy more than 100 jin of cornmeal.
The couple actually gave her a pair of bracelets, and they were even the letter-green ones, which Su Xia had no prior knowledge of.
However, later generations saw it online, but the pair of bracelets in the space were clearly made of better materials.
If this thing were to be auctioned off in future generations, Su Xia would be laughing all the way to the bank.
He was one step closer to becoming a rich woman.
Chen Jianguo was awakened by Su Xia's laughter, but he didn't wake her up. Instead, he held her in his arms and continued to sleep.
Su Xia's due date was originally supposed to be around December, but due to the fact that twins are more likely to be born prematurely...
Chen's mother had long since moved to the county town to be with Su Xia.
The day was sunny and breezy. Chen's mother had washed a lot of things and was hanging them out to dry.
Hearing a shout, she was so startled that she dropped the basin and ran into the house.
Su Xia was resting quite well, but suddenly her lower body became wet, and she immediately understood what it meant.
He started shouting and yelling outside until Chen's mother came in.
"What's wrong... what's wrong..."
"My water broke!"
"It's broken... What should we do?" Chen's mother exclaimed in surprise. She was so pregnant, and she still managed to break it?
Su Xia frowned as well. It wasn't painful yet, but what if they got halfway to the hospital...?
I should have been admitted to the hospital earlier!
Just as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were at a loss, Chen Jianguo returned.
Then everything went awry. Chen Jianguo helped Su Xia up and put her on the stroller. He covered her with a thick blanket and then with a quilt and a military overcoat. After she was settled, Chen's mother hurriedly packed her things.
Chen Jianguo pushed the cart, with his mother following behind. After closing the gate, they hurried towards the hospital.
"What's wrong, Sister Su?" Xia Yuzhen went out to use the restroom and saw Chen Jianguo pushing her, so she asked in shock.
"Xia, my eldest daughter-in-law is about to give birth!" Chen's mother exclaimed happily.
Xia Yuzhen breathed a sigh of relief. When she saw the person lying down, she wondered what had happened.
Then I ran into Grandma Dou again and she asked, "Is she about to give birth?"
Chen Jianguo nodded, "Grandma Dou, after that grandma and the others come back, can they..."
"Okay, just send it to me when the time comes!" Grandma Dou nodded.
Then he tucked Su Xia in, his eyes filled with worry, which he could see clearly.
Su Xia....
Chen's mother didn't dare to speak until she was far away, then she whispered, "That old lady looks nice!"
Lying down, Su Xia rolled her eyes—"Are you afraid of anyone?!"
Upon arriving at the hospital, the doctor immediately wheeled Chen Jianguo into the delivery room, where only his mother was outside.
Chen's mother breathed a sigh of relief and found a chair to sit and rest for a while. After Chen Jianguo brought the person in, he was even more worried than before.
She kept looking towards the delivery room, pacing back and forth, and then went to the side to smoke.
Chen's mother felt dizzy from being shaken by him.
Su Xia, who was in the delivery room, didn't feel anything at first, but in the end, she felt a pain like her ribs were breaking, and she started screaming without any relief.
Chen Jianguo was startled, and his mother was also worried, praying with both hands, "Amitabha, may mother and son be safe!"
...
Half an hour later, a cry was heard, and Chen Jianguo and his mother exchanged a look, both filled with joy.
"Xiaxia, have some, Mom will make you some chicken soup when we get back!" At this moment, Chen's mother's eyes were completely slits.
Su Xia, with a headscarf wrapped around her head, held the lunchbox handed to her by Chen's mother, which contained millet, brown sugar, and eggs!
They started eating it in small bites.
Seeing that she had started eating, Chen's mother went to check on the two swaddled babies.
The two little people are really funny; their faces aren't even half the size of her palm.
Su Xia looked over as well. The two little figures had their fists to the side of their heads and their eyes closed, probably because they were tired from crying.
"Xiaxia, you are our family's greatest hero!" Mother Chen grinned, as if announcing it to the world.
Su Xia didn't say anything; she hadn't expected to give birth to twins, a boy and a girl.
The older brother is a boy, so he comes out first. The younger sister will come out in 2 minutes.
The older brother weighed 4.8 jin (approximately 2.4 kg) and the younger sister weighed 5.6 jin (approximately 2.3 kg). Although they are not as robust as Da Bao and Gu Bao, Da Fu said there was nothing to worry about.
Even though she was pregnant with twins, they were both small, and their physical development was no different from that of a single child.
Just as Chen's mother was excitedly talking to herself, several chattering voices came from behind.
"Dad, where are my younger brother and sister?"
"How is Mother?"
"I want to see my younger siblings?"
Su Xia soon saw three children enter, followed by Chen Jianguo.
The three of them were bundled up tightly, because it was early December, almost winter.
Niu Niu rushed to Su Xia and asked with a worried expression, her eyes beginning to redden. "Mom, are you alright?"
Su Xia shook her head. "It's alright. Where are my younger siblings? Let's go see them!"
Niu Niu was relieved and stayed by Su Xia's side. After a while, Da Bao and Gu Bao also came over.
"Mom, are you still in pain?" Da Bao, seeing Su Xia's weak appearance, immediately forgot his joy at seeing his younger siblings.
Ge Bao noticed it too, and tears started falling like beads from a broken string.
Su Xia touched the heads of the two children as if to speak, but having just given birth, she really didn't have the strength.
Seeing this, Chen Jianguo pulled the children over and said, "Your mother is very tired. Let her rest for a while. Come on, I'll take you home!"
"But I want to stay with Mom, sob sob..." Gu Bao's eyes were brimming with tears.
Niu Niu and Da Bao also wanted to, but they knew that if they stayed here, they would only cause trouble for their parents. So the two siblings pulled Da Bao together and coaxed him to go back with Chen Jianguo.
"Oh my god, they're finally gone!" Su Xia finally got some peace and quiet and let out a loud sigh of relief.
Chen's mother -- These are the words spoken by her own mother.
Su Xia stayed in the hospital for three days. During those three days, Chen's mother stayed with her. Chen Jianguo ran back and forth between the hospital and home every day, dropping off Niu Niu and the other two girls, then picking them up and taking them to Grandma Dou's house.
Then we took the chicken soup and fish soup that Grandma Dou had prepared in advance from her house...
In the past three days, Su Xia has recovered very well.
On the day of her discharge, Su's parents, Su Nan, all came to visit. Since it was the day before, Shen Jiaxue stayed home to take care of the two children.
Three people came in and went straight to the twins. After three days of feeding, the two little ones had grown a little bigger.
Her skin is much fairer, and she has a small face and tiny fists; it's so cute it melts your heart.
"Oh my... my dear grandson, granddaughter..."
"In-laws, aren't these two children very good-looking?" Chen's mother said smugly.
These are the first twins in the Chen family.
Su's father nodded, his mouth twisted in a wide grin that stretched to the back of his head.
Mother Su proudly exclaimed, "Congratulations, in-laws!"
Chen's mother laughed heartily!
Su Nan glanced at her sister and saw that she was recovering well, and felt relieved.
"Sis, I bought two bags of formula and brought them over for you, right?"
"Su Xia, is it needed at Hao Jun's place?"
"He's starting to eat solid food now, with formula!"
Su Xia was already dressed: thermal underwear, cotton-padded clothes, outer clothes, trousers, thick cotton shoes, military overcoat, hat, scarf, and a scarf.
Right now, only her eyes are showing; when she goes out, she'll cover them up.
The group consisted of Chen's mother and Su's mother, each carrying one child, Chen's father and Su Nan carrying things, and Chen Jianguo carrying Su Xia on his back.
Su Xia... she can walk!
Chen Jianguo...you're capable!
Chen's mother, Su's father, Su's mother, Su Nan -- You walk!
Three days after her birth, she was nicknamed "Little Baby" or "Little Girl". Originally, her older brother was also going to be called "Third Baby" or "Little Girl".
However, Chen Jianguo had already undergone tubal ligation, and Su Xia immediately decided, "Xiao Bao and Xiao Niu!" It's possible they could have another child.
