"Mom? It's my Lishu. Yes, she's about to give birth. Don't worry, it will probably be tomorrow at the earliest. The hospital is very close to home... Well, you and my sister-in-law can just book a ticket and come over tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Lishu suddenly felt that her stomach began to hurt, and she knew that this time it was really going to start.
However, the pain was still within the tolerable range, so she didn't say anything and followed Gu Xingdong back to the hospital, then her brows gradually furrowed.
Gu Xingdong felt her discomfort and reached out to hold her hand tightly. Chen Lishu felt that her palms were wet, but she could no longer tell whether it was his sweat or her own.
As time went by, the pain became more and more frequent, as if the intestines in her stomach were knotted, and Chen Lishu began to sweat on her forehead.
"Xingdong." She couldn't help but speak out physically and mentally.
"I'm here." Gu Xingdong looked at her painful face, and the veins on his forehead bulged anxiously.
But childbirth is something that must be faced. If he could bear this pain for her, Gu Xingdong would definitely bear it for her without hesitation.
Li Xiulan glanced at the time and suddenly said: "Xingdong, depending on the situation, it will be some time before you can survive. You need to eat something to replenish your strength. I will accompany Lishu here. You can drive back to get the soup."
"I'll be back soon." Gu Xingdong glanced at Chen Lishu worriedly, and when she nodded, he quickly walked downstairs.
Because of the pain, it felt like time passed very long.
By the time he finished the soup that Gu Xingdong brought back in an insulated lunch box, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
After drinking the soup, Chen Lishu was supported by Gu Xingdong and walked in the corridor for a long time. Until the doctor checked and said she could enter the delivery room, Chen Lishu knew that the real challenge had just begun.
During the delivery, family members were not allowed to enter the delivery room, and Gu Xingdong and Li Xiulan could only stay outside.
When the pain intensifies to a certain level, people feel a little dazed.
Chen Lishu looked at the dim light above her head and suddenly felt that all this was a little unreal.
"Try hard, you can already see the head."
The voice seemed to come from a far away place, but it seemed to be very close at hand. She numbly adjusted her breathing according to the other party's instructions, and then exerted more force. As she roared, she felt something slipping out of her body, and her body relaxed.
"Boy, four pounds and two ounces."
As the child cried loudly, Chen Lishu felt as if the sound of nature poured into her eardrums. A drop of sweat fell down her eyebrows into her eyes, but there was no stinging feeling. She just felt that all the hard work finally came to her at this moment.
I have gained something, and my heart has become a soft mess.
"There's another one in my belly, don't relax."
The doctor's words brought her back to her senses instantly.
After finally exerting all his strength, the doctor's words rang in his ears: "Girl, four pounds and six ounces."
"Twins, twins, are rare." A midwife took the baby skillfully and patted the baby twice on the buttocks.
"Hey, why aren't you crying?" As she spoke, the strength in her hands increased a bit.
The crisp sound made Chen Lishu feel a little distressed, but the child still did not cry.
The doctor was also a little panicked. If the newborn baby didn't cry, the problem might be serious, so he quickly took the baby over to check.
Chen Lishu's heart suddenly rose, and all the bad thoughts rushed into her mind. She said in a trembling voice: "Doctor?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a loud cry, but unlike her brother who had been crying not far away, this one only cried two or three times before making no sound again.
"It's okay." The doctor saw her worry and said with a smile: "If she doesn't like to cry, this child will probably have a very good personality in the future."
Hearing her words, Chen Lishu raised the corners of her mouth and finally felt relieved.
Gu Xingdong and Li Xiulan had been waiting anxiously when they suddenly saw the door to the delivery room open. Without waiting for someone to call someone, they hurriedly took two steps forward and said hurriedly: "Nurse, I am Chen Lishu's family member. How is my lover?"
The little nurse handed the baby in Gu Xingdong's hand: "Congratulations, you gave birth to twins. Both the adult and the baby are fine. The mother is in the back, but she is a little weak. Isn't anyone else coming to your house? You need someone to help you.
one time."
Natural delivery is no different than caesarean section. After the follow-up work is completed, people can basically get out of bed.
When she heard that they were twins, Li Xiulan was so happy that she couldn't help but take the baby from another nurse's hand: "Thank you for your hard work."
The little nurse smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, this is what we should do."
"Please help me hold it." Gu Xingdong handed the baby in his arms back to the nurse's arms and stepped into the delivery room.
Chen Lishu's mental state was not bad, but her hair was a little messy and her face was a little pale due to labor fatigue. When she saw him coming in, she asked weakly: "Have you seen the children?"
"Yes, I saw it." Gu Xingdong nodded, stepped forward to hug her, looked at her seriously and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
There is nothing more gratifying than him knowing your hard work. Chen Lishu accepted it unceremoniously and said a little aggrievedly: "You don't know, it hurts. If you treat me badly in the future, I will be the only one."
I won’t even give you the child, but I paid for it with my life.”
Gu Xingdong nodded: "Okay."
When the two returned to the ward, Li Xiulan had already settled the two children in their cribs.
"Dragon and phoenix, Li Shu, you are so awesome, you just made up a good word."
Li Xiulan looked at the two little dolls lying side by side, and the more she looked at them, the more curious they became.
"You are thirsty, let me pour you some water." Gu Xingdong looked at her slightly peeling lips, stood up and poured a glass of water, and blew it gently with a spoon, and then fed her to drink when he felt it was enough.
"After suffering such a heavy blow during childbirth, you need to take good care of yourself. Xingdong, you stay here and stay here. Mom will go home and make some food for you to bring over." Li Xiulan said and walked out.
Gu Xingdong stood up: "Mom, I drive faster, so I'd better go back. Besides, you've stayed up all night, so I'll just take Zhao Qiuyue over and let you go back and rest."
"I'm fine, we're not far away. When I go back, I'll buy some groceries on the way to give Lishu some food."
Li Xiulan waved her hand and walked out of the room directly.
"Xingdong, I want to see the baby." She hasn't had a good look at the two little guys since they were born.
Gu Xingdong nodded, got up and moved the two little guys' beds directly to the bedside.
The child is too young, and his red little face is still a little swollen, so you can't tell who he looks like. However, his closed eyes have long and narrow eyeliners, and his small mouth is no bigger than a fingernail. It shouldn't be too ugly after looking at it.
"Have you decided what to name the children?" Chen Lishu asked, turning her head.
Gu Xingdong sat down next to her, put his arm around her shoulders, and looked at the two children with irresistible tenderness: "Brother Gu Yicheng, sister Gu Xiaobai, what do you think?"
If you choose a city to live your whole life, will your head turn gray when you meet someone?
Chen Lishu pursed her lips, leaned her head on his shoulder, and said softly: "I like this name very much."
