The son-in-law of a prosperous family

Fang Huai ate fermented glutinous rice and eggs, and regained some strength. However, as the contractions became more frequent, the pain became more and more intense.

He clutched the bed sheets tightly, his knuckles turned white, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead, soaking his temples.

Seeing that the time was almost right, the midwife began to instruct Grandma Sun and Bai Guihua to put the prepared items in place one by one. She turned to look at Zhao Yunchuan with a serious expression, "Sir, it's time. Please go out first. We are going to prepare for the delivery."

Zhao Yunchuan seemed not to hear anything, and just held Fang Huai's hand tightly: "I won't leave, I want to stay with Brother Huai."

Fang Huai forced out a smile and said weakly, "Husband, you...you go out. I don't want you to see me in such a mess. Come back in when everything is better."

Zhao Yunchuan wanted to insist, but the midwife persuaded him: "Sir, the delivery room is bloody and dirty. It is not suitable for a man to stay in it. Besides, we will take good care of your husband, so don't worry."

Fang Huai also said, "Get out quickly."

Zhao Yunchuan was reluctant, but looking at Fang Huai's pleading eyes and listening to the midwife's persuasion, he knew that if he insisted, it would only increase Fang Huai's worries.

He leaned over and kissed Fang Huai on the forehead, his voice choking a little: "Brother Huai, I'll be outside then, you must be safe."

Fang Huai nodded slightly, tears welling up in his eyes.

Zhao Yunchuan walked out of the delivery room, looking back every few steps, and every step he took felt like he was dragging legs that weighed a thousand pounds.

As soon as he walked out, the door of the delivery room slowly closed behind him. The "creaking" sound was like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart hard.

Standing outside the door, Zhao Yunchuan's heart was in his throat. Fang Huai's painful groans came from the delivery room, and each one was like a sharp needle, piercing him.

He paced back and forth at the door, clenching and unclenching his hands unconsciously, his nails digging deeply into his palms, leaving crescent-shaped marks.

Fang Dashan saw Zhao Yunchuan pacing back and forth outside the delivery room, his face turned pale with anxiety, and he quickly reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"Chuanzi," Fang Dashan shouted at the top of his voice, "Don't worry about it. Huai'er and the child will be safe!"

Zhao Yunchuan stopped and looked at Fang Dashan, his eyes full of anxiety, "Dad, I'm so worried. They've been in there for a long time, and I don't know what's going on inside."

As he was speaking, the sound of Fang Huai screaming in pain came from the delivery room. Zhao Yunchuan shuddered all over and subconsciously rushed to the door of the delivery room.

Fang Dashan grabbed him and said loudly: "I understand how you feel. When your mother gave birth to a baby weighing ten kilograms, I was also as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. But what's the point of us getting anxious here? The midwife has experience, and we have also hired a doctor. Just put your mind at ease!"

Zhao Yunchuan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"I know, Dad, but I can't control my brain. I just keep imagining nonsense." Zhao Yunchuan frowned, blaming himself. "It's all my fault. I wish I could suffer this for him."

Fang Dashan waved his hand and raised his voice, "Stop talking nonsense! Giving birth is like this. Huai Ge'er is very strong. You have to believe him!"

The two of them were waiting outside the delivery room. Every time Fang Huai's cry was heard from inside, Zhao Yunchuan couldn't help but clench his fists, and Fang Dashan would quickly pat him on the back to encourage him.

Shijin didn't cry or make a fuss. When the adults asked him to go back to his room, he really didn't make any trouble and went back to his room obediently.

Time passed so slowly that Zhao Yunchuan felt like several years had passed.

Finally, the loud cries of a baby were heard in the delivery room, one after another.

The two men stared at the closed door with their ears perked up.

Suddenly, a loud baby cry was heard in the delivery room. Zhao Yunchuan rushed to the door, holding on to the door frame with his hands, his eyes wide open.

Before he could recover from the shock, another cry was heard, this one even louder than the previous one.

Fang Dashan's face flushed with excitement, and he kept rubbing his hands together: "Two children, really two children!"

Zhao Yunchuan nodded heavily, his lips trembling slightly. He wanted to say something but was too excited to speak.

After a while, the door of the delivery room creaked open, and the midwife came out with a smile on her face, carefully holding a swaddle. Soon after, Bai Guihua followed behind with another swaddle.

The midwife raised her voice and shouted with a smile: "Congratulations, sir! Congratulations, sir! Two boys in one birth, mother and children are safe!"

Zhao Yunchuan's eyes instantly turned red, and tears welled up in his eyes. He rushed forward, but did not look at the child. Instead, he asked anxiously, "How is Huai'er?"

The midwife didn't react for a moment, and before she could answer, Zhao Yunchuan rushed into the room like a gust of wind.

This operation stunned everyone, and the midwife was even more surprised. In her many years of working in the industry, this was the first time she saw a father not looking at the child first, but concentrating on looking at her husband.

Bai Guihua and Grandma Sun looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. Bai Guihua whispered, "The relationship between the young couple is really good."

Zhao Yunchuan rushed into the room and took two steps at a time to reach Fang Huai's bed.

Fang Huai's face was as pale as paper, his eyes were closed weakly, and the strands of hair on his forehead were stuck to his face by sweat.

Zhao Yunchuan's eyes were red with heartache. He sat down gently on the bed, holding Fang Huai's hand, and said in a trembling but gentle voice: "Brother Huai, I'm here. You are finally safe."

Fang Huai slowly opened her eyes and saw Zhao Yunchuan. She pulled a faint smile from the corner of her mouth and said with a weak breath, "Husband, the children..."

Zhao Yunchuan nodded hurriedly, his voice tearing up as he said, "Both boys are safe. You are the one who has suffered the most."

As he spoke, he raised his other hand and gently wiped away the sweat on Fang Huai's forehead. His movements were so gentle that it seemed as if he would hurt the other person if he used even a little force.

At this time, the midwife and Bai Guihua came in holding the child and said softly, "Chuanzi, come and see the child."

Zhao Yunchuan then turned his gaze to the swaddling clothes and looked at the two wrinkled but extremely precious little faces. The red little cheeks, the closed eyes, and the little mouths that opened and closed made his heart melt.

He carefully reached out his hand and gently touched the child's little fingers. The soft touch made him so excited that he almost cried.

Zhao Yunchuan choked up and said, "Brother Huai, look, our child."
