Chapter 1138: Chapter 1138: Triplets 9

Lu Jiang had wanted Tian Ling to take Xibao and Fubao back to rest, but the two children refused to leave, wanting to stay with their parents. Concerned about his wife, Lu Jiang had no time to persuade his son and daughter and therefore had to compromise.

It was now almost midnight, and the two children had long fallen asleep, oblivious to the directions.

Shang Kun and Qiao Desheng each held a child, wrapped in the military overcoats that their wives had specifically brought from home.

Zhou Rong had asked the cooking squad to prepare a special meal and deliver it hot, calling out, "Commander Lu, Chief of Staff Shang, Division Commander Zhao, Minister Ouyang, Regimental Commander Qiao, and the two Sisters and Little Sister, please have something to eat while you wait."

Lu Jiang had no appetite to eat. Just as he was about to refuse, he suddenly heard a baby’s cry from the delivery room.

"It’s born, it’s born!" Lu Jiang instantly sprung up, leaning on the delivery room door with his mouth close to the crack, not daring to speak too loudly, "How is Qingxue? Is it a boy or a girl? Weren’t they twins? When will the other one be born?"

None of the busy doctors or nurses in the delivery room paid him any attention.

One baby had been born, and it was assumed that the next would be easier, yet the second one was stubbornly refusing to come out.

"What’s going on here?" Guo Xiuying came over with the newly born baby and began to get anxious, "Neither of Qingxue’s children is easy, why don’t they just come out smoothly? What are they doing staying in the womb? No wonder it’s a younger brother, he’s so slow."

Wang Sanbao said, "It’s only been ten minutes since the brother was born, it’s normal for the younger brother not to come out yet. Don’t panic."

She checked her watch, and at one minute past midnight, a gynecologist announced, "It’s born, it’s born, another boy!"

"Such a domineering little guy. Who knows what he’ll be like when he grows up. He must not want to share a birthday with his brother, so he made sure to come out after midnight," Guo Xiuying couldn’t help but laugh.

Everyone laughed, "When you put it that way, it really makes sense."

Feng Qingxue, with her hair disheveled and looking utterly exhausted, suddenly said, "That’s not right, why do I feel like there’s still another one inside me?"

"What?"

"Another one?"

Guo Xiuying and Wang Sanbao immediately crowded around her, touching her stomach and listening with a stethoscope. Their faces filled with shock — there was indeed another baby inside, but the heartbeat was weak, which is why they hadn’t detected it earlier.

"Quick, bring more hot water, and get ready for the third birth!"

The young nurse hurriedly opened the door to leave, and Lu Jiang, seeing her, immediately showed joy, quickly asking, "How is my wife? I heard the cries of two children."

"Don’t block me!" the nurse replied briskly, "Sister Qingxue still has another one inside, I need to fetch hot water!"

"What? Triplets?"

The crowd waiting outside the door was instantly stunned. Before they could ask anything else, the nurse had already run off. Soon she was back, carrying a bucket of hot water hastily, ignoring them as she entered the room and closed the door behind her.

Fang Ning dug at his ear, "I didn’t mishear, did I? Qingxue is having triplets?"

"No wonder Qingxue’s belly was so big, it’s actually three!" Yang Zhengying also felt like she was dreaming. She quickly came to her senses, "Are there enough swaddling clothes inside? If not, Comrade Lu Jiang, you should hurry home and get some!"

Lu Jiang stood dumbfounded in front of the delivery room door, dully responding, "It’s enough, we prepared four sets for replacement."

Then he became anxious rather than pleased.

Carrying twins was hard enough, but now there was one more than expected. Why hadn’t the third one been born yet?
