Chapter 377: Chapter 377 Unlucky Female Educated Youth 77_1

Huang Lei had no idea about Zhao Aoran and their thoughts regarding her pregnancy.

She was counting down the days, hoping the baby would arrive safely and sooner rather than later.

It is said that when a woman is pregnant, she lives like a queen, but after the child is born, life changes drastically.

Huang Lei was confident in herself and her family, believing that even after the birth of the child, her treatment would remain just as wonderful.

And just as she had expected, after enduring a painful night, the two boys finally arrived in this world, letting out their first cries at dawn.

The three people waiting anxiously outside the delivery room couldn’t help but burst into tears upon hearing the baby’s cries.

"It’s a healthy child."

"Yes, that cry is so powerful."

Whether it was a boy or a girl didn’t really matter; what was important was the child’s health.

"Congratulations, two boys," the nurse said as she handed the two children to Huang Lei, congratulating her on the birth of her sons.

What? Two sons? Ever since she found out she was expecting twins, she had hoped for twins of mixed sex.

To her surprise, she gave birth to twin boys, and Huang Lei truly felt like fainting on the spot.

Some might think having two sons is fortunate, especially for their families with significant assets—two sons to carry on the legacy.

But Huang Lei longed for a sweet little girl, a soft and cuddly one who would charm her way into her heart and allow her to dress her up beautifully.

Instead, she had two robust boys whom she couldn’t adorn as much.

The nurse hadn’t expected Huang Lei to feel this way, assuming that she would be thrilled with two boys.

Meanwhile, another nurse went out to inform the family, "Is Huang Lei’s family here?"

"Over here." Although they expected that Huang Lei had given birth, given that there were other mothers in the delivery room, they couldn’t be certain.

Now that the nurse emerged and called out Huang Lei’s name, they knew for sure that she had delivered.

"Huang Lei has given birth to two sons; they will come out later."

Upon learning that Huang Lei had twins, Huang Dapeng and the others breathed a long sigh of relief.

Ho Ming, supporting Huang Dapeng with the nanny assisting Zhao Ya, asked, "I’m sorry, how is my wife doing?"

Ho Ming was genuinely worried about Huang Lei’s condition; he believed that because she was carrying twins and her health wasn’t great, a caesarean section would have been better.

But Huang Lei had disagreed, insisting on a natural birth, much to Ho Ming’s distress.

Earlier, while waiting outside, he couldn’t stop praying, hoping that both mother and baby were fine.

"The mother is doing well; she’ll join you after some rest inside."

Hearing that Huang Lei was doing well, Ho Ming breathed a long sigh of relief, "That’s good, then."

The nurse waited for a while and realized that nobody asked about the children’s condition, which was a relief when Huang Dapeng finally remembered to inquire.

"Are the two children doing okay?"

"The children are very well; they can leave with their mother." Phew, finally someone remembered the children; otherwise, it would have been quite awkward.

However, it was rather nice to see that they were more concerned about the mother and had forgotten to ask about the children.

After thanking the nurse, Huang Dapeng and others could finally exhale a long breath, "All is well."

"Right, when you go back, bring the millet porridge that has been simmering at home." After Huang Lei started having contractions last night, Huang Dapeng had instructed the nanny to start the porridge.

The millet porridge that had been cooking for so long was bound to be delicious, perfect for nourishing Huang Lei.

The nanny glanced at Ho Ming, who nodded, letting the nanny go, "You go back and rest, and switch with Aunt Zhang."

With two aunts at home, they could take turns coming here to take care of people.

When Huang Lei woke up, Ho Ming quickly came over, "Tired?"

"Not too bad, how are the children?" Huang Lei had passed out after hearing in the delivery room that she’d had twin boys and had forgotten to ask about their condition.

She didn’t know whether the twins would need to be placed in incubators; she hoped not.

"The child just woke up and had some water," Ho Ming turned his head to look at the two sons lying beside him.

"Thank you." After the loss of his grandmother and mother, it gave him a home once more, a warm home.

"Thank me for what." Huang Lei held Ho Ming’s hand tightly, "I should be thanking you."

At least it fulfilled the original owner’s desire to have a family. How many capable men would be willing to marry into another family?

"Speaking of which, since we have two sons, the elder one will take your surname."

"The younger one will take mine."

Now that they had two children, one child could take one surname each. It had been discussed already, after initially discovering she was pregnant with twins.

Originally, looking at Huang Lei’s serious face, he thought she was about to discuss a very serious matter, only to find out that it was about this.

"I don’t mind which surname the children take, if possible, let it not be ’Ho’."

"Our family has paid too much for this surname," Ho Ming truly despised it to the core.

"I agreed to marry into your family, and I’m not going to change my mind."

"Nor will I change it just because you gave birth to two sons."

"The children will take the surname ’Huang’," Ho Ming reaffirmed.

Seeing Ho Ming’s insistence, Huang Lei did not argue further, "Alright."

Huang Lei yawned, had a little to eat, and continued to sleep—giving birth really was a physical task; even after a rest, she still felt tired.

Although she had twins, the fact that it was a natural birth meant that Huang Lei was doing well. She only had to stay in the hospital for a day to make sure there were no problems before she could be discharged.

Nowadays, women only do postpartum confinement for about 45 days. As a business owner herself, and with the hardships from pregnancy to birth, it had truly been tough.

According to Zhao Ya, this kind of toll on the body was extraordinary, and regular confinement was definitely not enough. She had to do a double confinement.

When Huang Lei heard she needed to do double confinement, her face changed completely. She was very reluctant, but she had no choice as even Ho Ming stood by the old lady’s side.

Helpless, Huang Lei had no option but to obediently do double confinement, eating tasteless confinement meals.

Unable to bathe or wash her hair, Huang Lei could only feel fortunate for having short hair—if not, she dreaded to think about facing the issue of washing her hair after the double confinement.

She had initially thought she could handle any company issues that arose, but Huand Dapeng and Ho Ming had taken over. No matter the problem, they both managed to handle it.

By the time Huang Lei found out about it, it was only that such an issue had occurred and then it had already been resolved.

Huang Lei felt helpless; rest was all she could do, not knowing what else to engage in besides resting.

As for feeding both children, for the first month, she was able to keep up with their needs.

Starting from the fortieth day, the twins’ appetites increased rapidly, and Huang Lei simply couldn’t supply enough for both.

Now Da Bao and the younger were both on a mix of formula and breastfeeding, only in this way could she keep up with their appetites.

Since the children were now being fed formula more frequently, Zhao Ya brought a specially hired nanny to help take care of the two children.

When Huang Lei completed the double confinement and was ready to come out, she was not only plumper but the twins were also chubby and fair, not much different from their single-birth peers.

This finally allowed Zhao Ya and the others to breathe a sigh of relief. They had been worried seeing how frail the children had looked before.

Even though they knew twins shouldn’t be compared to single births, the children’s cries were loud and clear. But as parents and elders, of course, they wished for both children to grow up healthy and chubby.

After two months of their nurturing, the children were bouncing with health. Their first check-up after birth yielded good results.

Zhang Xia, on seeing Da Bao and his brother, was delighted, "They really look exactly alike."

When she had nothing to do over these two months, it was spent researching the children, "They look the same, but their temperaments are not."

"One is calm and collected, the other is hot-headed."

"One is mature, the other is always smiling."

Though they look alike, just a bit of observation reveals the differences between the two children.

Zhang Xia stared at the two children for a long while, "You really tricked me into wanting kids."

"Then have some," Huang Lei replied, not continuing any further. Some things had to be understood on one’s own.
