The son-in-law of a prosperous family

Fang Huai held on to his body, his eyes fell on the two wrinkled little faces in the swaddling clothes, his originally weak brows knitted instantly, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but drooped, his voice was filled with helplessness and disgust: "Husband, why are these two children so wrinkled, they look like two little old men, why don't they look like us at all."

Although the two children are twins, they don't look alike, but they are both quite ugly.

Zhao Yunchuan was immersed in the joy of being a father for the first time. When he heard this, the smile on his face froze instantly, and he subconsciously retorted: "How could it be..."

As soon as he said this, he leaned in to take a closer look at the child, and the words were stuck on his lips.

The little ones' red faces were wrinkled together, and their tightly closed eyes seemed to be squeezed into a slit, which looked ugly no matter how you looked at it.

He opened his mouth and held it in for a long time before he stammered, "What are these eyes..."

After a pause, he couldn't find the right compliment, so he changed his words reluctantly, "The eyes are eyes, the nose is a nose, the facial features are all quite regular, not ugly at all."

Bai Guihua was holding the baby and couldn't help laughing. She quickly tried to smooth things over: "Newborn babies are all like this, all wrinkled. They will grow up in a few days. By then, they will be two cute little babies. Don't worry!"

Fang Huai's tense brows relaxed slightly after hearing this, but there was still a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Really? Mom, don't lie to me. With the way they look now, I really can't imagine that they will be happy in the future."

Zhao Yunchuan reached out and gently touched the child's head, his tone firm, "It will definitely happen. Huai'er, we both look good, and the children will definitely be beautiful when they grow up. Besides, even if they are average-looking, they are still the most precious in our hearts."

At this time, one of the little guys seemed to have heard everyone's discussion. He curled his lips and started crying loudly.

Zhao Yunchuan hurriedly took the child and coaxed him clumsily: "Don't cry, baby, Daddy and Daddy didn't say anything bad about you, they were praising you."

Fang Huai looked at Zhao Yunchuan's panic, a smile appeared on his pale face, and he scolded: "Look at how clumsy you are, aren't you afraid of scaring the child?"

Bai Guihua smiled and placed the other child next to Fang Huai: "Brother Huai, feel the child's little hand, it's so soft."

Fang Huai hesitated and stretched out his finger, gently touching the child's hand. The little guy immediately grasped his finger tightly. Fang Huai's heart warmed, and the disgust on his face instantly turned into tenderness.

Giving birth was too exhausting. After a while, Fang Huai's breathing gradually became steady and he fell into a deep sleep. Zhao Yunchuan looked at his pale face, his heart aching.

After Bai Guihua and the midwife quietly carried the child away, the room suddenly became quiet, with only the rustling sound of the wind outside the window and Fang Huai's weak and even breathing.

Zhao Yunchuan walked quickly to the outer room, picked up the hot water that had been prepared long ago, and took a soft and clean towel, and returned to the bed. He carefully sat on the edge of the bed, dipped the towel into the water, wrung it half dry, leaned over slightly, and gently wiped the remaining sweat on Fang Huai's face as if he were treating a rare treasure. The ends of his hair stuck to his cheeks because of sweat, and he gently brushed them away with his fingertips, his eyes full of pity and self-blame.

During the wiping process, Fang Huai frowned unconsciously. Zhao Yunchuan paused, thinking that he had hurt him. He quickly eased his strength and murmured in a low voice: "Brother Huai, I was careless. You can sleep peacefully."

After a while, seeing Fang Huai calm down again, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to clean carefully.

The next morning, Fang Huai woke up slowly and felt that the aches and pains all over his body had eased a lot and he felt much more refreshed.

He subconsciously felt around, but couldn't find the child. His heart tightened, and he hurriedly shouted, "Husband, where is the child?"

Zhao Yunchuan was mixing goat milk outside. When he heard Fang Huai's voice, he quickly walked into the house with a soothing smile on his face: "Brother Huai, you're awake! The child is next door and is being fed."

Fang Huai frowned, a trace of disappointment flashed across his face: "It's all my fault that I can't breastfeed the child because I'm a boy."

Zhao Yunchuan sat down beside the bed, gently held Fang Huai's hand, and said in a gentle voice: "Don't think so. We have already made preparations. The two ewes we found have sufficient and clean milk. The child will grow up healthy after drinking it."

As they were talking, Bai Guihua walked into the room holding two children.

"Brother Huai, look, the little ones are full and energetic!" Fang Huai's eyes flashed with surprise and he stretched out his hands impatiently.

Bai Guihua gently placed the child in Fang Huai's arms. Fang Huai stared at the two...wrinkled little faces, his eyes reddened.

"This mouth looks just like my husband." Fang Huai smiled and gently touched the child's cheek with her fingers.

Zhao Yunchuan came over and looked at the child, his face full of happiness: "It also looks like you, especially the nose, which is small and straight."

In fact, the child is still so young, how can you tell who he looks like? It's all psychological.

At this time, a little lamb was bleating outside the house. Fang Huai asked curiously, "Is it too much trouble to feed it with goat milk?"

Zhao Yunchuan explained: "It's not a big deal. I will milk on time every day, boil and sterilize it before feeding it to the child. Mother is also there to guide me, and everything is arranged properly."

Bai Guihua smiled and added: "This goat milk has high nutritional value, and is no worse than breast milk. Besides, with a caring father like Chuanzi, the child will definitely thrive."

Fang Huai looked at the child in his arms, then at Zhao Yunchuan, his heart filled with emotion.

"Husband, it's great to have you here. By the way, we should give the child a nickname."

Zhao Yunchuan thought for a moment and said, "When the eldest was born, his cry shook the roof beams, so he was named Lei Lei; the second child is quiet and drinks milk quietly, so he is named Jing Jing. What do you think?"

Fang Huai poked the child's chubby face with his finger, shook his head slightly, and said bluntly: "Leilei, Jingjing, calling them is too common and not nice. How about we think about it again?"

Zhao Yunchuan was stunned for a moment, then he reacted, scratched the back of his head and said, "Brother Huai, you are right. I just can't wrap my mind around it. Why don't you tell me what you think? I'll listen to you."

Bai Guihua came in holding a stack of diapers and said, "Brother Huai is thoughtful. He may have a good idea. Tell me about it."

Fang Huai looked at the two babies in the cradle with a tender heart, and said slowly: "Why not name one Ping An and the other Joy?"

Fang Huai smiled shyly, his eyes lingering on the two children for a long time, and said softly: "As parents, we don't ask for much. We just hope that our children will have a smooth life, stay away from disasters and illnesses, and live happily and freely. Although this name is ordinary, it hides our most real wish."

Zhao Yunchuan patted Fang Huai on the shoulder, and said with some emotion: "That's right, we don't ask them to be rich and powerful, but peace and happiness are enough."

Outside the window, the warm sun penetrates the mottled leaves, casting strands of light onto the cradle inside the house.

Bai Guihua gently covered Ping'an with the swaddling cloth embroidered with a peace lock pattern, and then took the small quilt embroidered with lotus flowers and wrapped Xile up. She smiled and said, "These two children, just by hearing their names, you know that they will have a happy life in the future."
