Lin Chuxia took Zhang Guilan to the delivery room and was promptly sent out. There were only two people inside, a doctor and a nurse.
At this mont, Lin Chuxia was feeling a bit weak in the knees. She had helped Jiang Hong get to the hospital last ti, but for so reason, now she was a bit scared.
Perhaps it was because her elder brother wasn’t there, so she felt a stronger sense of responsibility towards her sister-in-law.
Qin Yang noticed her unease and held her little hand, "It will be alright."
"Still no word on where big brother is. Do you think sister-in-law is doing okay?"
Lin Chuxia had never given birth in either of her lives, but whether watching TV dramas or witnessing Jiang Hong’s delivery, wasn’t every one of them in excruciating pain? Sister-in-law’s reaction seed off no matter how you looked at it.
Qin Yang shook his head; he was even more clueless.
He glanced at his wristwatch, not knowing where his elder brother could be at the mont, just hoping he would arrive soon.
Then he took another look at his wife’s complexion.
When Li Wei’s wife gave birth last ti, the howling was so miserable it terrified his wife.
If sister-in-law really starts screaming later on, will it scare his wife even more about giving birth?
If it really frightens his wife, he will have a serious talk with his elder brother no matter what.
Just as he was thinking, the door of the delivery room moved slightly, and both of them turned their heads in unison.
They saw the nurse open the delivery room door, coming out with a small blanket, "It’s a girl, mother and daughter are both safe."
Seeing the stunned looks on their faces, the nurse approached and handed the baby directly to Lin Chuxia, "The mother needs to be cleaned up, she can co out later, you can take the baby for now."
Lin Chuxia held the baby and swallowed hard. Looking down at the little being in her arms, it was a tiny, red, and rosy bundle with thick, wet, and jet-black hair.
She looked at Qin Yang, "It’s over this quickly? It hasn’t even been twenty minutes since she went in, right?"
Qin Yang was also stunned, "Could it be a mistake? Is this soone else’s child and sister-in-law hasn’t given birth yet?"
Lin Chuxia shook her head, "Sister-in-law was the only one in there."
At this mont, hurried footsteps ca from the corridor. Qin Han arrived in a sweat, running up to them, "Where’s your sister-in-law?"
Lowering his head, he saw the baby in Lin Chuxia’s arms, his eyes suddenly brightened, "This... is this mine?"
Lin Chuxia finally snapped back to reality and handed the baby to the child’s real father, "There you go, your little girl. Sister-in-law is still inside, mother and daughter are safe, she should be out after they’ve finished cleaning her up."
Upon hearing this, Qin Han’s smile widened to his ears, "My little girl? I have a daughter now, so pretty, my daughter is beautiful."
He handed the baby to Qin Yang, "Take a look at your niece, isn’t she cute? Look at this little hair, these big eyes, this little nose, and little mouth..."
Qin Yang furrowed his brows, glanced once, then looked seriously again, and finally nodded under his elder brother’s expectant gaze, "Cute."
The delivery room door opened again, and the nurse called out, "Relatives of Zhang Guilan? You can take her to the ward now, give her so water to drink, she can go ho after urinating."
"Ah, good."
Qin Han hurried to respond, carrying the baby over to Zhang Guilan.
"Wife, look at our daughter, she looks just as pretty as you."
Zhang Guilan was extrely joyful at the sight of Qin Han’s happy expression.
The long-awaited child was finally here, and it was a girl, now they had both a son and a daughter.
Once in the ward, Zhang Guilan was concerned that her brother-in-law and his wife had not eaten yet because of her, "I’m fine now, you two should hurry back and have sothing to eat, you must be hungry after being busy for half the day."
Lin Chuxia: "Sister-in-law, don’t even ntion it, that was too quick, I am not even feeling hungry yet."
It was the first ti she knew childbirth could be this quick.
Gui Lan didn’t expect having a second child to be so easy, and smiled awkwardly.
"Then go back and grab sothing to eat. It’s fine with just your brother here with ."
Chuxia looked over to Qin Han, who was still grinning foolishly at the baby and said, "Did Big Brother rush over from our hotown without having any food? I’m not hungry yet, how about I stay with sister-in-law for a while and let Qin Yang take Big Brother to grab a bite?"
Qin Han imdiately shook his head like a rattle-drum, "I’m fine, I don’t need to go anywhere, there are so buns left over from your sister-in-law, I can just eat those, I’m good right here."
Seeing the unambitious state of his big brother, Qin Yang couldn’t bother to say much and just took Chuxia back ho.
After lunch at ho and without much delay, they brought brown sugar water and boiled eggs to the hospital.
Qin Han was tidying things up while Gui Lan had already changed into clean clothes and covered her head with a scarf.
Seeing the two, she laughed and said, "The doctor said I can go ho now. Your big brother and I discussed it, and we decided not to go back to your place but straight to our hotown. The grandparents are also waiting to see the baby."
It was the middle of sumr, and Qin Han had driven over, so there was no fear of catching a chill.
Planning to spend the confinent period in their hotown was already talked about before.
Chuxia nodded, "That’s good, after all, staying at ho is more comfortable."
Having her mother-in-law to take care of her, and her husband by her side.
Chuxia knew that Gui Lan had been longing for the children these past few days.
Zhuangzhuang last weekend ca to see Gui Lan with Qin Han, and she almost cried because she missed him so much.
Being at ho surrounded by family mbers is better for the mood, and helps to prevent postpartum depression.
Qin Han had already completed the hospital discharge process.
Chuxia helped carry the baby, Qin Yang carried the stuff, and Qin Han wanted to carry Gui Lan to the car, but Gui Lan pushed his hand away and firmly stood up on her own, put on shoes and walked out.
This ti, Chuxia truly opened her eyes in surprise.
Even Qin Han was stunned for a mont, then hurriedly followed after Gui Lan, like a little eunuch, "Wife, slow down, you’ve just had a baby."
Chuxia thought to herself, right, sister-in-law, you’ve just had a baby and you’re walking out briskly, you should at least acknowledge the hardships won endure giving birth.
But Chuxia also believed what the doctor said, having a second child really is easier.
After sending off Qin Han and Gui Lan, Chuxia and Qin Yang returned ho.
With one less person in the house all of a sudden, Chuxia felt a bit unused to it.
The belongings of Gui Lan in the guest room were packed into a handbag, and the bedding was taken out to the yard to sun, with plans to wash the beddings whenever there’s ti.
With a washing machine at ho, Chuxia wouldn’t make life hard on herself.
Qin Yang made a round trip to his work unit, finding nothing urgent he ca back early.
Arriving ho, he saw his wife absentmindedly hitting the bedding with a stick, her mind clearly not present.
He knew, his wife longed for a child, and seeing her sister-in-law having one today, she would think about it even more.
Indeed, that’s why he couldn’t sit still at the office either, so after a quick word with his colleague, he ca back.
"Let do it," Qin Yang took the stick from Chuxia’s hand.
Chuxia didn’t refuse, stepped back under the pogranate tree, and admired the fruits on it.
This was planted by Chuxia after they moved here last year; the seller told her that it was a three-year-old tree and would bear fruits the day after being planted in the ground.
Indeed, this spring it blood with more than a dozen flowers, and now there were seven or eight pogranates hanging on it.
