Hearing the noise, Lu Jingnian came out of the room and walked to Xiang Wanwan's side.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, a dog just came into the yard and barked twice," Xiang Wanwan replied.
Aunt Wu and Sister Wang couldn't help but laugh.
Lu Jingnian was a little confused, but seeing that Xiang Wanwan was alright, he didn't ask any further questions.
Suddenly, Weiguo stood by the rabbit cage and shouted, "Mom, the rabbits have given birth!"
"What? She gave birth?"
Wang Sao immediately got up and went to check the rabbit cage. Xiang Wanwan also stood up from her chair, and Lu Jingnian quickly helped her up.
Sure enough, there was a pink and tender little rabbit in the cage, its skin bare.
The pregnant rabbit remained motionless in one position, presumably still trying.
Several people gathered around the cage and watched.
Baoguo and Weiguo stared intently, "Mother, was it like this when you gave birth to us?"
Wang's face almost fell over; she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
“It wasn’t easy for your mother to give birth to you; she almost had a difficult delivery.”
After she finished speaking, she realized she had said something wrong and looked at Xiang Wanwan next to her.
"Wanwan, don't be afraid, every childbirth is different."
“I gave birth at home, so it was more difficult. If you give birth in the hospital, with so many doctors and nurses around, there will definitely be no problem.”
Wanwan is also a twin, so we can't let her words affect our mood.
Xiang Wanwan smiled and said it was nothing.
But in reality, her heart was already in turmoil.
I was already worried when I found out I was pregnant with twins. Now that I know how difficult it was for Wang Sao to give birth, how will she, with such a big belly, have a smooth delivery?
Xiang Wanwan was terrified.
I wonder how good the cesarean section skills are at the military hospital? It's the 1960s now, and she's still a bit hesitant about surgery.
As if sensing her fear, Lu Jingnian wrapped his arms tightly around her shoulders from behind and whispered in her ear:
"Don't worry! I've arranged for the most authoritative obstetrician and gynecologist in Nanshi to come to the island. He's already at the military hospital."
"Everything will be alright!"
Xiang Wanwan turned to look at him, somewhat surprised.
Did this man have it all planned out in advance?
She had been worried, but now she felt much more at ease.
In no time, there were eight baby rabbits in the cage. Aunt Wu took out a small nest made of a piece of brittle cloth and a basket from the house, and Aunt Wang took the baby rabbits out of the cage and put them in.
Just as they were all taken out, another baby rabbit emerged. After giving birth to this one, the mother rabbit finally moved.
"Sister-in-law, is it all over?"
"Yes, it should be! Nine puppies is already a lot."
"Wanwan, your livestock are so prolific. I heard that Sister Sun's rabbits only had five offspring."
Xiang Wanwan thought to herself.
That's for sure. After all, it was raised on spiritual spring water, so it's bound to reproduce!
"These little guys certainly know how to pick their days, coming out during the Lunar New Year."
"Haha, that's right!" said Sister Wang.
Sister Wang carried the basket into the house, and the others followed.
······
As evening approached, Xiang Xinrong sat in the house with a dark expression after waiting for a long time without Xiang Wanwan bringing anything over.
Yan Qingsong: "Dad, why hasn't it been delivered yet? Are you not going to send it?"
Granny Chen snorted coldly: "Hmph, they don't take your father seriously at all, why would they send so many things over for nothing? Son, we've been happy for nothing!"
Xiang Xinrong slapped the table next to him.
"Smack!"
A sudden, loud bang made Li Jinglan's body tremble, and she covered her stomach with both hands.
The child that Xiang Shuxue was holding was also frightened and started crying loudly.
She immediately hugged and comforted him.
"Stop crying!"
Granny Chen immediately took the child, her face equally grim: "You're incompetent, why are you taking your anger out on the child!"
Previously, Granny Chen would have been considerate of Xiang Xinrong and treated him politely.
After living under the same roof for a long time, she realized that this man was just as useless as her deceased husband.
