Chapter 55
"Come here, both of you come and take a look." The midwife of the Wang family held two wrapped children in her arms and stood at the door of the room and said happily to Du Wei and his father.
"They are twins, the one that came out first is the brother, and the one that came out later is the sister. Although they look a little small, they are both very healthy." The midwife of the Wang family pointed at the child in her left hand with her chin and then pointed at the child in her right hand.
When Lao Du heard that they were twins, he was so happy that he almost flew up. He stretched his neck and looked at the two children in the midwife's arms, smiling from ear to ear.
"Grandpa, congratulations! Your daughter-in-law is really good at giving birth. She gave birth to all your grandchildren in a short time." The midwife of the Wang family smiled and congratulated Lao Du.
"That's right! My daughter-in-law came with blessings." At this moment, Lao Du was very clear when he praised his daughter-in-law.
Looking at Du Wei, he frowned after taking a look at his children, and then muttered in a low voice, "Why are these two children so ugly?" If his wife was not the only one in the room, he would have suspected that the children were switched.
Look, Zihao is so handsome. Why is his child so ugly? He began to wonder if it was because of himself.
Although Du Wei spoke very quietly, the father and son were too close, and Lao Du also heard his words, so he said very dissatisfied, "What are you saying? Aren't you afraid that the children will be unhappy after hearing it? Newly born babies are like this. When you were just born, you were uglier than these two." Lao Du raised his hand and slapped Du Wei on the back of the head.
"Hehe." The midwife of the Wang family also heard it and couldn't help laughing. She nodded and said, "Du boy, your father is right. All the newborn babies really look like this. They will be very different after they grow up in a short time."
Du Wei felt very embarrassed. No one told him, and he had never seen it. They couldn't blame him.
But this was not the time to discuss whether the child was ugly or not. He didn't know how his wife was. Thinking of this, he couldn't help wanting to go into the house to see his wife, but the midwife of the Wang family blocked the door with the child in her arms. He was so anxious that he almost reached out to push her.
"Your wife is fine, but she is a little tired and has fallen asleep now. Go and get rid of the coldness in your body before going in. Otherwise, it will affect your wife and the child." The midwife of the Wang family said to Du Wei.
"Okay, I'll bring the child into the house now. After all, it's too cold outside. The child has just been born. It's not good for him to get cold."
"Yes, yes, you hurry up and bring the child into the house." When Lao Du heard this, he hurriedly urged Wang's midwife to come in.
At this moment, Du Wei had already gone to the kitchen when Wang's midwife asked him to get rid of the coldness on his body because there was a stove there, which was still warm at the moment.
When Lao Du saw the midwife go into the house and close the door, he turned around happily and walked towards his own room. He wanted to tell Du Wei's mother about the good news as soon as possible so that she would be happy.
To be honest, the newborn children were not very good-looking, red and wrinkled, but they brought new hope to people.
When Du Wei was finally able to enter the house, he saw Li Suniang, who had fallen asleep from exhaustion, and two children who were wrapped up and sleeping with their eyes closed side by side with her. Looking at the three of them, Du Wei suddenly felt as if he owned the whole world, and his heart was extremely satisfied.
"Wife, thank you." Du Wei gently kissed Li Suniang's forehead against her wet hair and said gratefully.
When Li Suniang woke up, it was still dark outside, but the house was bright. The room had been cleaned up, and even the clothes and quilts had been changed.
Turning her head and looking at the two children sleeping side by side with her, her heart suddenly became incredibly soft. Now she finally has a real sense of existence here.
After ten months of pregnancy and one day of delivery, this is a child who is truly related to her by blood. Although Zihao was also born into this body, it is a different soul.
"Wife, you are finally awake." Du Wei, who was originally dozing on the bed, woke up when Li Suniang moved. Seeing her wake up, his heart, which had been hanging, finally relaxed.
"Wife, we won't have children in the future. Anyway, I already have a son and a daughter." Du Wei's eyes were red when he said this.
Although the midwife of the Wang family told him that Li Suniang was just too tired and had not woken up, he was still worried, so he went to the town to invite the old doctor to take a look. The result was the same as that of the midwife of the Wang family, just a little exhausted, nothing else.
Even so, seeing that Li Suniang was still unconscious, his heart was always hanging there and couldn't come down.
The ancients valued many children and grandchildren. She didn't expect Du Wei to have such an advanced idea, but it was indeed a good thing for Li Suniang. After all, in ancient times, giving birth to a baby was like stepping into the palace of Hades. No one knew what would happen next. Even in modern times, when medicine is so advanced, some pregnant women die during childbirth because they can't be rescued for a while. So women give birth to children with their lives. She just hoped that those men would love their wives more.
But now it seems that Li Suniang feels that she has found someone who really loves her. She didn't expect Du Wei to be a hard and cold man outside, but he often used the softest method to treat Li Suniang. This is the so-called Iron Man with tenderness!
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Li Suniang said softly.
"Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat first." Du Wei carefully helped Li Suniang up and put a soft pillow behind her.
After Li Suniang sat down, Du Wei opened the door and went out. Li Suniang smiled and continued to look at the two sleeping babies.
She didn't know which one was the brother and which one was the sister. After all, they looked the same, with red and wrinkled little faces. In her memory, her brother in her previous life seemed to be much more handsome than these two when he was born. It was probably related to her mother's good nutrition at that time, but here as long as the child is healthy, it's fine.
Besides, she and Du Wei are not ugly, and the child will not be ugly either. Zihao is pretty good. In fact, she only wants a daughter who won't be ugly, otherwise it will be difficult to find a husband when she grows up. As for the son, it's okay. If he looks too good, she is afraid that there will be too many peach blossoms in the future, which will be troublesome.
Just when Li Suniang was concentrating on watching the child, Du Wei came in from outside with a large basin.
"Come, wife. Drink a bowl of chicken soup first, and then drink the soup prescribed by the old doctor. Don't worry, I have cleaned up all the oil in the chicken soup. It's just that you can't eat salty food now, so it may not taste good." Du Wei first took out a bowl of clear chicken soup from the basin with some shredded chicken in it and said.
To be honest, chicken soup without salt is really not delicious at all, but for the sake of the children, she must drink it even if it is not delicious.
Fortunately, Du Wei remembered her words and did not bring a bowl of chicken soup with oil floating on it. Otherwise, she might not be able to drink it.
After a bowl of chicken soup and chicken, Li Suniang suddenly felt a little full. Looking at the other bowl in Du Wei's hand, she felt that she couldn't drink it. But she had to drink it even if she couldn't drink it, otherwise the children would cry with hunger.
Fortunately, there was not much medicine in the bowl. After drinking it, Li Suniang suddenly felt that her stomach was full of water. If she shook it a few times, she could hear the gurgling sound of water.
"The two children, have they been sleeping since you were born?" Li Suniang looked at the children and asked Du Wei in a low voice.
"How is it possible! They woke up twice during this period, but you were sleeping all the time. My father and I boiled some rice soup to feed them. They looked small, but they were quite hungry. They just ate a little while ago and are sleeping soundly now." Du Wei also looked at the two children with his eyes full of pampering.
"It turns out that I slept for so long! Looking at the sky outside, I thought I only slept for a while!" Li Suniang said with some surprise.
She slept so well that she didn't even hear the children crying. No wonder Du Wei's eyes were red when he saw her wake up just now, while he breathed a sigh of relief.
'It turned out that he was worried about me, afraid that I would not wake up.' Thinking of this, Li Suniang felt warm inside. She felt that she was really as blessed as those women in the village said.
"My husband, thank you for being so good to me all the time. Marrying you is really my greatest happiness." Li Suniang looked at Du Wei, her eyes full of love. She felt that, at that moment, she had fallen in love with the man in front of her.
In the past, she just felt very fond of Du Wei and felt that he was a man who could be relied on and responsible. After getting married, she found that he was not as cold and hard as outsiders said, but also had a gentle side, but his gentleness was only for close family members.
Gradually, she found that she liked him more and more, and it became more and more. Until today, she realized that this was love.
"You are my wife. If I don't treat you well, who can I treat well?" Du Wei looked at Li Suniang with full love.
After all, giving birth to a child hurt her vitality. After sitting for a while, Li Suniang felt a little tired, so Du Wei carefully helped her lie down.
"My husband, have you thought of the names of the two children?" Li Suniang asked, pulling the quilt.
"I've thought about it. Dad has chosen the names. The boy will be named Du Chenghao and the girl will be named Du Ziruo. As for the nicknames, Dad said you can choose them." Du Wei tucked the quilt carefully for Li Suniang and said.
"Du Chenghao, Du Ziruo," Li Suniang repeated in a low voice. This was a name chosen from Zihao's name. Her father-in-law was thoughtful.
"Dad, the names are pretty nice. Let's call them Chengge'er and Ruojie'er!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll tell Dad tomorrow. Now you should have a good rest." Du Wei patted Li Suniang gently as if he were coaxing a child to sleep.
"Well, then, husband, you should go to bed early, too! You haven't had a good sleep for a long time. You've lost weight." Li Suniang looked at Du Wei with some heartache and said.
Since he knew that she was pregnant with twins, Du Wei had never let her do housework. If it weren't for the help of Lao Du, he would have been so busy. He had to take care of the house and the shop in town, and he couldn't sleep well at night, fearing that she would have an accident.
Li Suniang had advised and comforted him, but it was useless. She had no choice but to be obedient and take good care of herself so as not to cause trouble to Du Wei.
Well, now she has finally given birth safely, and he could rest assured.
When Du Wei saw the mentality in Li Suniang's eyes, he instantly felt that everything he had done was worth it. His wife was willing to love him, which meant that she had put him in her heart.
In fact, he knew that Li Suniang did not marry him because of her love for him, but he was not in a hurry. One day, she would fall in love with him. Even if she didn't love him in this life, he would be willing as long as she could accompany him until old age.
But now it seems that what he expected will still come true.
