Chapter 348: Giving Birth to the Children
Doctor Zhou hurried over and examined Fang Pingying, saying that she could enter the delivery room.
According to routine, a family member had to sign, because in the operating room, no one could predict what might happen.
Luo Zhiyong, holding the pen for signing, looked at Fang Pingying's noticeably swollen belly, his hands shaking slightly. After signing his name heavily, he just kept staring at Fang Pingying.
Seeing this, Doctor Zhou couldn't help but laugh, patting his back and saying, "Zhiyong, Pingying's baby is in a good position, there shouldn't be any major issues. Don't be so nervous, relax a little."
Luo Zhiyong nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered carefully to Doctor Zhou, "Doctor Zhou, if anything happens in the operating room, please ensure Pingying comes out unscathed no matter what."
Fang Pingying understood what he meant, and her heart was suddenly overwhelmingly moved—such a silly man!
Suppressing her pain, she smiled and held his hand, whispering, "Fool, do you think we are in a TV show, where situations of choosing between mother and child might arise? Doctor Zhou already said I'll be fine; just wait obediently outside, I'll come out soon."
"Mom, make sure everything is ready." After Fang Pingying spoke, she pointed at Luo Zhiyong, "Keep an eye on him."
This man was too nervous; she didn't know how long she'd be in the delivery room.
Li Aihua held her hand and smiled, "Yes, go ahead, I'll keep an eye on Zhiyong, don't worry."
Although Fang Pingying had experienced giving birth before, it was a very distant memory.
Now experiencing this pain again, it was as agonizing as if walking through the gates of hell.
After several hours, just when Fang Pingying felt like all her strength was being drained, she suddenly felt lighter below and heard the baby's cry.
Fang Pingying breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to relax when she heard Doctor Zhou shout again, "There's another one, this one's even bigger."
"Pingying, don't sleep, you've already endured so much, just push a little more, the baby will be here soon." Doctor Zhou saw that Fang Pingying was weak from exerting all her strength, and she softly chuckled near her ear, "The first one was a boy; if the ultrasound was correct, this one is a girl."
After hearing this, Fang Pingying felt a surge of spirit, mixed with joy and perhaps disappointment.
Inevitably, there was some disappointment, as in her previous life she felt guilt towards her two daughters, so she always hoped to make amends in this life. Like her previous life, she had twins again, and she always felt that her daughters from her past life could return.
Even before the children were born, when buying baby items, she bought more for girls, but now the doctor said that the first baby born was a boy, meaning her wish wasn't fulfilled.
But as long as the children were healthy, she was still happy.
Thus, with renewed effort, following Doctor Zhou's instructions, she gave birth to the second child.
The second child was indeed a girl, and when born, her cries were loud, powerfully drowning out her brother's cries.
And just looking at her head, it was bigger than her brother's too.
Doctor Zhou asked the nurse to show the children to Fang Pingying for a moment, then said, "Both children are very healthy, you can rest easy for a while."
Fang Pingying glanced at the two little ones, and finally, completely exhausted, her head tilted and she fell asleep.
Outside the delivery room, Juzi, Luo Honglan, and Yu'er all rushed over.
When Doctor Zhou pushed the adults and baby out of the delivery room, Luo Zhiyong ran to Fang Pingying's bedside with the speed of lightning.
Seeing Fang Pingying still sleeping, Luo Zhiyong urgently asked Doctor Zhou, "What's wrong with Pingying?"
"Mother and child are safe. Pingying is just tired; she will be fine after some rest." Doctor Zhou saw Luo Zhiyong's anxious reaction, smiled, and reported to everyone, "The older one is a son, the younger one is a daughter, the elder was only born fifteen minutes earlier."
Hearing this, Luo Zhiyong finally felt relieved, his eyes also slightly moistened. He lowered his head and gently kissed Fang Pingying's forehead, whispering softly, "My dear wife, you've worked hard."
"Doctor Zhou, thank you for your hard work." Li Aihua and others, knowing that both mother and children were fine, were also overjoyed.
Li Aihua asked the nurse to hand the children over to them, while laughing, "Your Pingying is really lucky. I've been in gynecology for so long and have never seen a man who rushes to his wife's side without even asking about the gender of the children."
Li Aihua glanced at the couple and laughed, "Hehe, the young couple seems to get along very well."
Doctor Zhou had also observed how the couple got along, she nodded and said with a smile, "Hmm, Pingying had a natural birth. She should be fine after staying in the hospital for two or three days. During the confinement period, take good care of her, don't let her hold the children too much."
"Alright then."
"I'll be leaving now, I have other matters at the hospital." Doctor Zhou instructed, "Take good care of the two children, feed them some warm water first, and when Pingying wakes up, she can start breastfeeding."
"Okay."
After admitting Fang Pingying to the ward, Luo Zhiyong stayed by her side.
Li Aihua took Juzi and Luo Honglan to bathe the children.
The two children were extremely beautiful, Juzi and Luo Honglan and several girls were competing to hold them, each not wanting to let go.
Seeing that the sister was almost a pound heavier than her brother, Juzi laughed and said, "Your family's niece and nephew must have inherited their parents' personalities, the eldest takes after his father, you see he doesn't cry much, and the younger one must be like Sister-in-law Pingying, she has a loud voice, and her temper will definitely be strong in the future."
Luo Honglan did not agree with Juzi's words, she whispered, "My big brother has a bigger temper, you just haven't seen him get angry."
Juzi was skeptical, "Really? How come I've never heard him utter a harsh word to your sister-in-law then."
Luo Honglan stuck out her tongue and laughed, "That's only towards my sister-in-law. He doesn't have such a good temper with others, sometimes he even loses his temper with my parents."
"Sister-in-law Pingying is really blessed, having both a son and a daughter in one pregnancy." When Juzi heard Luo Honglan mention her mother, she recalled that old lady who favored boys over girls, and disdainfully said, "Your parents, especially your mother who has been clamoring for a grandson, would definitely be overjoyed if they knew, certainly happy."
Luo Honglan just remembered this matter and immediately stood up to go out, "Right, I have to break the good news to my parents, they even asked about it the other day."
Li Aihua glanced at her and said indifferently, "I think it's better to wait until after the confinement period."
Luo Honglan also knew her mother was troublesome; if she knew her sister-in-law had given birth, she would definitely make a trip to the city, and who knows what might happen then.
But it also seemed inappropriate to not let the parents know about their big brother having children. (To be continued.
