Chapter 614: Chapter 583: Not Disdaining, Twins of Mixed Sex_1

Huo Yingjie, worried, rushed in.

After taking off his raincoat, Huo Yingjie squatted in front of He Tiantian, tightly holding her hand, and said, "Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, I’m here!"

He Tiantian, seeing Huo Yingjie, smiled faintly and said, "I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid..."

Third Grandma Qi skillfully cut the umbilical cord with scissors and handed the child to Wang Shuping.

Wang Shuping, with a clean towel dipped in warm water, helped to wipe the child and then wrapped her in a small blanket.

"Tiantian, look, this is a beautiful girl," Wang Shuping conveyed, "Just like you when you were little, especially pretty."

Upon hearing this, He Tiantian felt even more energized.

Huo Yingjie stared dumbfounded at the infant crying loudly with her eyes closed, wrinkled and ugly, unsure whether to take her. Was this his child?

Seeing this, Wang Shuping laughed and said, "Hurry up and hold her. There’s still another one inside! You wouldn’t dislike her just because she’s a girl, would you?"

Huo Yingjie was taken aback, quickly waved his hand, and said, "Of course not, I don’t mind."

After saying that, he carefully took over the child and held her in an awkward posture.

He Tiantian looked at the top of the child’s head, summoning her strength. There was still another one inside; she needed to try hard, or if the child stayed inside too long, it could be dangerous.

Now without a doctor, everything depended on her!

"Tiantian, push hard!" Wang Shuping urged, hoping her daughter could quickly give birth to the other child inside her stomach.

"Tiantian, don’t be afraid, grandma knows how to deliver, she does. Look, the first child is fine," Third Grandma Qi encouraged, hoping He Tiantian could be a little braver.

Huo Yingjie quickly brought the wrinkled child in front of He Tiantian and said, "Tiantian, look, this is our daughter, she’s beautiful, she’s adorable. There’s another sister inside your tummy, you can’t rest, you still need to push!"

"I... I’ll push!" He Tiantian adjusted her breathing and kept pushing. Suddenly, she felt something come out of her body, and after hearing the cry of the child, she felt she could finally rest.

"Oh my, such great joy, a boy, twins of mixed sex, Tiantian is truly blessed," Third Grandma Qi said. "Shuping, take hold of him, I’ll clean Tiantian up."

Third Grandma Qi cut the cord and handed the child to Wang Shuping for cleaning.

Seeing He Tiantian faint, Huo Yingjie became anxious and secretly took her pulse. She was just exhausted, and only then did he relax.

Having two children was enough, they would never have another.

It was too much suffering.

After using several basins of hot water, Third Grandma Qi helped clean everything up, then put those things in a small earthen jar to be buried outside when the rain stopped.

Third Grandma Qi and Wang Shuping were holding the two children.

He Tiantian was covered with a thick blanket, Huo Yingjie held He Tiantian, He Jingyu held an umbrella for her, and they returned to the house, laying He Tiantian on the bed and covering her with a quilt.

Taking advantage of a moment when others weren’t paying attention, Huo Yingjie fed He Tiantian another pill to replenish her strength.

The two children were placed beside He Tiantian, humming softly, clenching their little fists.

Seeing the three of them, safe and sound, Huo Yingjie, He Jingyu, Wang Shuping, and Third Grandma Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief, smiling quietly.

He Doudou, who was inside the house, saw Dad and Mom bustling outside and wanted to join them, but Old Man Qi certainly wouldn’t let him get rained on!

So, he stayed inside playing with He Doudou. He took a triangular wooden block, pretended it was a handgun, and taught He Doudou how to shoot.

Although it was fake, it captivated He Doudou’s attention, and he no longer insisted on going outside.

When Third Grandma Qi returned with her umbrella, she saw the old and the young having a blast, "biu... biu..."

"How’s everything?" Old Man Qi asked anxiously. Seeing Huo Yingjie return alone, he realized Wang Shuilian wasn’t home and that his daughter would have to give birth alone at home, which worried him.

"It’s all good. The mother and her son and daughter are all very healthy." Third Grandma Qi smiled, "It’s truly a blessing from heaven!"

"Good, good, as long as they’re safe." Old Man Qi said, "Oh my, Girl Tian is really blessed, having a son and a daughter at once."

"Indeed!" Third Grandma Qi said, "It gives Old Huo peace of mind."

Watching He Doudou play with enthusiasm, Old Man Qi laughed, "This little guy is already an uncle at such a young age. In the future, they can play together as peers."

"Haha, that’s right!" Third Grandma Qi laughed, "The generations just went up a notch just like that."

Over at He Jingyu and Wang Shuping’s side, they too emerged, cleaning up the pile of firewood, dirty clothes, dirty blankets, and dirty mats next to the kitchen. Once the rain stopped, they intended to take them out and burn them.

"Our Tiantian is lucky and has a strong fate, no doctor around, yet she managed to give birth safely on her own." Wang Shuping sighed, "Thank goodness for the midwife. It’s because our Tiantian is strong that she could deliver safely."

"Yes!" He Jingyu exclaimed emotionally, "Had I known it would be so dangerous, we might as well have gone to Huai City!"

"Exactly!" Wang Shuping said, and as they were speaking, someone knocked on the door.

It was more like battering the door than knocking.

Because the rain was pouring down heavily, one couldn’t hear anything without pounding on the door.

"Someone’s knocking. I’ll go see who it is." Having said that, He Jingyu walked down the stone path with an umbrella to the entrance.

Upon opening the door, it turned out to be Wang Shuilian.

"After coming back, I heard Huo Yingjie was looking for me. I figured your daughter must be giving birth, so I rushed over. How is everything now?" Wang Shuilian asked, his feet covered in mud, and his yellow raincoat dripping with water.

When He Jingyu saw Wang Shuilian had arrived, he was deeply grateful and quickly said, "Come in quickly, the babies have been born, twins of mixed sex, mother and children are sleeping. Still, Doctor Wang, please check on my daughter and see how she is doing now!"

Wang Shuilian was taken aback but then smiled and said, "That’s really great, as long as they’re safe and sound. Which midwife did you find?"

"Couldn’t find one; it was the midwife who helped." He Jingyu said, "Doctor Wang, please, come in!"

He Jingyu led Wang Shuilian to He Tiantian’s room.

Wang Shuilian took off his raincoat, put down his medical bag, and checked He Tiantian’s pulse, finding that indeed she was blessed; she was just a bit tired and had no serious problems.

"Her health is very good; rest assured," Wang Shuilian whispered, then checked on the two children, took out two stethoscopes, and listened, "The children are also very well. Since they’ve been born, I’ll be heading back now."

Gazing at the heavy rain outside, He Jingyu said, "Doctor Wang, don’t leave. It’s pouring outside. Have lunch with us, and you can leave after the rain stops."

Wang Shuilian, considering the muddy road and the heavy rain obscuring the view, having almost fallen several times, said,

"Then I won’t stand on ceremony. The mud on the road is one thing, but the heavy rain makes it hard to see." Wang Shuilian smiled, "Let’s go to another room to talk and not disturb the rest of the new mother here."
