Chapter 1479: Birth
Meng Lin listened to Qu Xiaoli’s rambling with a full smile on her face, that’s exactly how it should be. She just loved having an elder around, never finding it annoying, but rather feeling that this was happiness.
The gloom over the Li Family had dissipated. Cheng Lin and the others all felt a sense of relief.
Tao Yanzhen also knew about this, she just smiled. Now she was about to have children, everyday was very tiring.
The pulse had already revealed that there were two children. She was immensely grateful in her heart. She could give birth to twins too.
Maybe it was because she was about to have children. She started missing Yang Zhongyi. She wondered how he was doing.
Living in such a family, of course she knew, but when it really came down to her own experience, with her children almost being born, she also hoped he could come back.
Now Meng Lin wasn’t working, she just came every day to take care of her cousin and cousin-in-law.
"Meng Lin, you’re really lucky, your mother-in-law is so open-minded."
"Yes, my mother-in-law is the best."
"Without you, my sister-in-law and I would definitely be in a mess."
"What are you talking about? You’re my family."
"Are Xiao Chen and the others adapting well?"
"They’re managing. That Zheng Zhqing is good-tempered and doesn’t mind these brats. Er Hong in the village is also a gentle girl. With the two of them, the kids in the village are quite well-behaved."
"That’s great. Children need playmates. With more than a dozen kids together, they have companions and are easier to manage."
Tao Zhuoting is already five months old; the little one is very obedient, and his eyes are so bright, you can tell at a glance he’s a clever little guy.
"When Zhuoting is a bit older, we should take him back for his grandpa and uncle and aunt to see."
"Yes, your cousin said the same thing. We planned to go back this year, but with Xiao Zhen not doing well, we’ll go back after the fall next year. Will you join us, Meng Lin?"
"Of course, I’ll go with you when you go back."
Tao Yanzhen suddenly felt a stomach ache, "Cousin, my stomach hurts, feels like the kids are fighting inside."
"Xiao Zhen, lie down properly. I can’t handle it alone. I’ll go find Doctor Xie and cousin. You must stay still," Meng Lin said as she ran out.
Liu Tongtong also knew what to do. She hurriedly went to boil water, putting her son in the stroller. That way, she wouldn’t delay her work.
Tao Yanzhen was already sweating from the pain. She laid her hand gently on her belly, "Babies, be good. Mommy knows you want to come out, but don’t rush, let’s take it slow, okay?"
Meng Lin ran back within fifteen minutes, seeing that her cousin-in-law had already done all the prep work, she hurried into the house to accompany her cousin.
Tao Chunhe took over the work his wife was handling. Everyone was extremely anxious, waiting for Doctor Xie, feeling like they were hoping for a lifeline at that moment.
When Xie Chunfen and Da Guo’s wife arrived, only Meng Lin stayed inside.
Tao Yanzhen was in good health, so in just three hours, the two children were safely born.
The two children’s cries were loud and clear. With their eyes closed, their limbs flailing, they cried as if to let everyone know they had arrived in this world.
Meng Lin excitedly held Tao Yanzhen’s hand, "Xiao Zhen, you have a boy and a girl, both son and daughter now."
She had given birth to two sons, now she was hoping for a daughter. Plus, her cousin-in-law also gave birth to a son; there was only one Little Princess in the family now.
Tao Yanzhen weakly smiled. Turning her head to look at her two little treasures, she now deeply understood the love a mother has for them.
Tao Chunhe, knowing he had a nephew and a niece, laughed heartily.
He really wanted to let grandpa and mom and dad know the good news right away.
Meanwhile, at the border, Yang Zhongyi suddenly felt his heart tighten twice.
Unable to contact home, he lay in bed thinking about what could have happened. Finally, calculating the time, the most likely event was his wife giving birth.
He grinned but soon felt regretful, his children were born and he couldn’t be there. He deeply resented the troublemakers on the enemy’s side. This time, he underestimated them. Although he won, he was injured. This will not happen again.
Once Tao Yanzhen was all cleaned up, Meng Lin held Xie Chunfen’s hand, expressing her gratitude in almost incoherent words, truly happy.
Xie Chunfen also smiled and congratulated them. As a gynecologist, the happiest thing for her was to personally welcome a new life into this world. Whether their lives turn out to be difficult or smooth, they let them take their path in this world.
Tao Chunhe gave each of them a ten-yuan red envelope, really delighted. No matter how his sister felt inside, now she had her own children.
He was afraid his sister would really remain single for a lifetime back then.
Early the next morning, Tao Chunhe rode to the county to make a phone call.
Mr. Tao received the call, his laugh making Tao Chunhe’s ears numb.
"Great, great, Xiao Chun, we’ll make a visit this year."
The kids are small, immobile, but they can take leave. The Tao Family’s eldest grandchild hasn’t been seen yet.
"Grandpa, we planned for next fall."
"No way, I can’t wait; I want to go. You just wait."
"By the way, quickly call your mom. She’s not been sleeping well these nights."
Mrs. Tao cried after receiving the call. Her worry for her daughter kept her up all night. With her man out risking his life, she deeply understood the feeling of being pregnant at home.
"Mom, Xiao Zhen is doing well. Don’t worry. I heard from Tongtong, the kids were breastfeeding last night."
"Good, good. You must make some nutritious food. Xiao Zhen has to feed both kids."
"I know, pork, chicken, eggs, all available anytime in the village, I can even go fishing. Xiao Zhen won’t lack anything."
"Good, I’ll prepare formula to send to you."
"Okay, mom. Grandpa said you will come over after autumn."
"Yes, we must visit. I want to see my Zhuoting."
The mother and daughter chatted for a long while. Only then did Tao Chunhe call dad.
He was in a meeting over there, and said he’d call back as soon as Tao Yanzhen gave birth.
Then, he called the Yang Family. Yang Jiu Long, knowing he suddenly had two grandchildren, also laughed aloud.
"Xiao Chun, thank you for taking care of Xiao Zhen."
"Necessary, and thanks to Yu Jie."
Yang Jiu Long hung up and immediately instructed below to prepare things, to send over to the daughter-in-law.
Finally, he couldn’t resist, called the border, to inform his son that he also became a father.
Yang Run Tai received his grandfather’s call and smiled. His uncle’s destiny had completely changed. The shadows over the Yang Family had been dispelled.
