Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Elderly Mr. Di laughed for quite a while before stopping. Lifting his head, he saw the midwife stunned in the doorway, and immediately coughed heavily.

“Ahem! What are you dazed about? Hurry up and continue delivering the baby. Tell everyone that today, every midwife attending the birth will get double red envelopes!”

The midwife was overjoyed!

“Thank you for your reward, Old Master!”

After her gratitude, she went back in with great joy to continue delivering the baby.

He was about to hand the child to the waiting midwife, but a big hand beside snatched it before he could.

“This child is so beautiful! I’m so fond of her. Why not let her be my goddaughter?” Zuo Xingyu lowered his head to look at the tiny baby in his arms, unable to stop his eyes from turning red.

If only… this child was his and her child, how great would that be?

“Give me the child quickly!”

Elderly Mr. Di didn’t trust this unmarried man to hold his precious granddaughter. He hurriedly took the baby, handed it to the waiting midwife, and she was carried back into the delivery room.

“As for recognizing family or not, that’s something you have to talk to Third Child and Sisi about. If they agree, as the grandfather, I naturally have no problem with it.”

First, you’ll have to pass the test of Third Child and Sisi!

Zuo Xingyu also knew that he had been impulsive! He then reluctantly moved the corner of his mouth on his poker face.

“That’s right! It was I from the Zuo Family who did not think thoroughly!”

With Ye Lei far away, and Sisi still in the delivery room fighting for her life with the King of Hell, it was inappropriate for him to mention it at the moment. However, he was determined to achieve this. By mentioning it in advance, he was mentally preparing everyone.

Looking at the closed room door again, First Son He had a troubled expression on his face. He frowned, stroking his long beard, thought for quite a while, and then shook his head.

“No, that’s not right! I’ve been checking Sisi’s pulse countless times, and it’s not the pulse of having twins. On the contrary… sizzle! It’s especially messy. What’s going on? This is really strange…”

His words made Elderly Mr. Di beside him laugh out loud, unable to resist teasing him.

“It turns out to be twins! Hey, Old He, you always boast about how awesome and skilled you are, right? Now it seems that you’re just so-so! If you were really that good, you quack doctor, with your daily pulse reading, how could you not find out that Sisi was carrying twins?”

“Practicing medicine and saving people means learning until old age. You old immortal, don’t know a fart! Oh — I know! You must have lost to me in three moves in yesterday’s chess game, and today you’re deliberately frustrating me here, aren’t you?” Old He’s eyes rolled back as he retorted immediately.

“Pah! You’re obviously older than me by a few months. I think you’re the real old immortal! Considering today is a double happiness day, this old man won’t argue with you. Hmph!” Elderly Mr. Di’s face was full of triumph.

“What do you mean I’m older than you? This is called getting stronger with age, understand? I’m telling you…”

Old He next to him was clearly not convinced! He couldn’t help arguing back.

The two of them went back and forth, making quite a lively dispute!

If others saw the two of them at this moment, their eyeballs would probably drop to the ground!

Was that crazy old man jumping up and down like a monkey really the Dr. He with the best medical skills in the Great Zhao? They must have recognized the wrong person!

…

A steed galloped wildly through the mountain wilderness!

This was a mountain path. In order to take a shortcut, Di Yelei abandoned the winding official road and headed straight into the gorge and mountain streams, climbing mountains and crossing rivers for several hours. At this moment, the speed of the steed was visibly slowing down, with white foam dripping at the edges of its mouth. The horse toppled to the ground, unable to get up after struggling for quite a while, clearly showing that it could run no more!

Damn it! As long as they could cross one more mountain ridge, they would be home!

Di Yelei made up his mind, abandoned the horse, and headed directly towards his home, starting to cross the mountain!

…

On Liu Sisi’s side, the childbirth was still ongoing.

Granny Xu was chattering nonstop: “As soon as I came in earlier, I felt something was off about the Madam’s stomach, and it turns out she was having twins. However, Madam’s body is slender, so although her stomach looked a bit larger than a singleton pregnancy, the difference is not very noticeable.”

“Indeed! I didn’t expect it to be twins.”

Liu Sisi was also delighted, as giving birth to two at once was easier than giving birth one after another, right?

Fortunately, the successful birth of the first child gave Liu Sisi a glimpse of victory. When she found out she still had a child in her stomach, it would be a lie to say she wasn’t surprised and excited!

Watching Liu Zhi’er receive the soup medicine and cooked dishes brought in by the midwife, she came to her side, smiling brightly.

“Isn’t it! When I gave birth to my three monkeys, I had to go through it three times. You, on the other hand, only need to give birth once for two children, which is much more comfortable.” While talking, she scooped a heaping spoonful of steamed egg custard into her mouth.

The egg custard melted immediately in her mouth, saving Liu Sisi the time and effort of chewing.

She gulped it down in a hurry: “Shouldn’t twins be harder than singletons?”

She was asking this question knowingly. Although she hadn’t even had a boyfriend in her previous life, she knew twins were more likely to have difficult births than singletons, but there were no prenatal examinations in this world, and they couldn’t even tell how many children were in her stomach.

Liu Zhi’er gave her a sidelong glance and fed her another mouthful of steamed egg custard: “Why are you thinking about this? You’ve already had one, so just follow Granny Xu’s instructions. Don’t push if she doesn’t tell you to, and we’ll take our time.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Liu Sisi nodded, and by now, there was no other way.

Liu Zhi’er carefully put away her inner worry, and smiled cheerfully: “When my brother-in-law comes back and sees the twins, he’ll definitely be overjoyed!”

Hearing this, Liu Sisi laughed: “Yes! He loves children, and his favorite thing to do is to talk to the baby in my stomach!”

As soon as Di Yelei was mentioned, Liu Sisi burst into laughter. But after a moment, her smile disappeared: “I don’t know where he is now, whether he’s made it ashore or not…”

“Sisi, don’t worry, your brother-in-law must be rushing back day and night. He’s out on business, not just for fun, so you can trust him.”

“Yes, I know.”

She knew he was busy with work, and she understood.

Even if she wasn’t hungry, she still forced herself to eat.

It wasn’t until she couldn’t eat anymore that she closed her eyes, shaking her head, and prepared for the next wave of pain to come.

Since there was the crying of the first child beforehand, when another cry, like the sound of a cat, came from inside, everyone thought it was the first child crying again. It wasn’t until they saw the midwife bring out another child that everyone realized the second child had been born!
