Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

Xu Damao had no idea what happened in the hospital. Even if he knew, he couldn't care less because he and his mother-in-law had just sent his wife to the hospital and were now walking around in the hospital corridor.

After get off work today, Xu Damao went home as usual, and then he sent Lou Qi, who was on duty, back home. But when the three of them had just finished their meal and were chatting on the sofa in the living room, Gezi suddenly said that she had a stomachache, and Xu Damao immediately realized that she was about to give birth.

"Da Mao, my stomach feels like it's dropping and it's aching. Am I about to give birth?" Lou Xiao'e said.

Lou's mother said, "You've just started, it will take some time to give birth, but we have to go to the hospital."

Xu Damao said, "Don't be afraid, Moth. I'll drive the car to the door and we'll be leaving in a moment."

"it is good."

"Da Mao, you go first. I'll get the things we prepared. We'll go directly to Union Hospital later."

Xu Damao took the car keys and quickly drove downstairs. Lou's mother had already packed the things prepared for the child and daughter into the bag, and now she only needed to take them down from upstairs.

"Moth, Mom, the car is at the door, let's go."

"Okay." Lou Xiao'e frowned in pain and spoke word by word.

Seeing that she had difficulty speaking, Xu Damao carried Lou Xiaoe to the car like a princess, and Lou's mother followed with her things. Soon, the car started, and Uncle Fu, the gatekeeper, had already opened the door.

"Da Mao, stop at the door for a while and let Uncle Fu send a message to your parents." said Lou's mother.

"Yes, yes, yes, I forgot about it in my haste. Moth giving birth is a big deal, I should inform my parents."

Xu Damao drove the car to the door, got out and talked to Uncle Fu for a few words. After telling him the address of his home and the hospital, he got back in the car and drove straight to Union Hospital.

Lou Xiao'e had been pushed into the delivery room to prepare for delivery. Lou's mother was sitting quietly on a chair next to her, while Xu Damao was walking around in circles in the corridor, with cigarette butts scattered all over the floor.

"Da Mao, don't worry, Ge Zi will be fine. We're already at the hospital. If delivery is difficult, we can just do a caesarean section." Lou's mother had come to the hospital specifically to inquire about the news and knew that the caesarean section surgery at Union Hospital was the best.

"Mom, I'm really anxious. I'm a little nervous about becoming a father." Xu Damao said.

"Just don't worry, just sit down and wait. The conditions for having a baby are much better now than before, so there won't be any accidents." Mother Lou comforted Xu Damao.

"Okay." Xu Damao finally stopped walking around and found a chair to sit down.

More than half an hour later, footsteps were heard in the corridor. Xu Damao was startled by the sound and looked up, only to see Xu's father and mother walking over, with Xu's mother carrying a large bag in her hands.

"Dad, Mom, you're here." Xu Damao stood up and greeted them.

"We packed up as soon as we got the news, and then rushed over. How is my daughter-in-law?"

"My dear relatives, Ge Zi has been sent to the delivery room for a while. Let's wait for a while." Lou's mother also came over.

"Boss." Xu's mother called out.

"What boss? Don't call me that anymore. We are real in-laws now. Come, put the things here first." Mother Lou pulled Mother Xu to sit down together and put the things on the chairs.

Several people waited until about one o'clock in the middle of the night before there was movement at the door of the delivery room, and two children were carried out by two nurses.

"Are you Lou Xiao'e's family?"

"Yes, yes, I am her mother-in-law, and this is her mother." Mother Xu said impatiently.

"Congratulations, the twins were born naturally, both the adult and the child are safe. These are the children, now we leave them to you," said one of the nurses?

The two mothers took a child in each hand and coaxed them in their arms.

Xu Damao finally got the chance to speak, "Nurse, where is my wife?"

"Your wife will be out soon."

The door of the delivery room opened again, and Lou Xiao'e, with a pale face, was pushed out.

"Da Mao, where's the child?"

Xu's mother and Lou's mother quickly held the child in front of Lou Xiao'e and asked her to look at him. "Here, look, this nose and eyes look so much like you!"

Lou Xiao'e smiled with relief and fell asleep as soon as her eyes closed. She had been very tired for the past half night and she was forcing herself to take a look at the child. Now that she saw the child, she relaxed and fell asleep directly.

"Doctor, is my wife okay?" Xu Damao asked nervously.

"It's okay, she's just a little tired from giving birth. Send her to the ward to rest now. If conditions permit, stew some chicken soup or pig's trotter soup for the mother, which will help with milk production. When there is no milk, the baby can eat some milk powder, porridge, rice soup, etc." A doctor advised.

"Okay, I'll remember it. Thank you, doctor." Xu Damao said.

At this time, Father Xu took out the wedding candies and melon seeds that he had prepared in advance from the package he brought and distributed them to the doctors and nurses.

"This time our family is blessed with twins, both adults and children are safe, thanks to all of you. Come on, come on, don't be shy, come and share in the good fortune."

All the medical staff were not polite. The baby was born safely. It was a blessing to have a son and a daughter at once. They also wanted to share in the good fortune. Moreover, the family was obviously well-off. The candies they prepared were all White Rabbit milk candies.

So the medical staff took the gifts after congratulating him, and then went their separate ways to do their own things.

"Dad, Mom, let's send Ezi and the child back to the ward first." Xu Damao said.

"That's right. It's not right to keep talking in the corridor. Let's send the patient to the ward first."

Then Xu Damao pushed Lou Xiao'e, the two mothers held their children, and Xu's father carried the package, and they went to the ward together.

When they arrived at the ward, Xu Damao wanted to hug the child, but his clumsy appearance made the elders unanimously dislike him. So he was kicked out of the hospital and told to go home to get milk powder or something. Lou's mother also went home with him, and she wanted to stew some chicken soup for her daughter and send it over.

Five days passed in a flash. Xu Damao had taken three days off and stayed by his wife and children's side, but he had to go back to work after three days.

The hospital notified him to be discharged three days ago, but Xu Damao begged and persuaded him to stay in the hospital for two more days. Today he had no choice but to be discharged.

Lou San drove the car and took Lou Xiao'e, the two children, Xu's mother and Lou's mother back to the courtyard where Xu's mother lived. Normally, it was not reasonable to go to her mother's house to recuperate after childbirth, and if she went to the courtyard, the house was too small. Lou's mother and Xu's mother both wanted to take care of the child and the confinement, so there was not enough space.

Finally, there was no other choice but Xu Damao suggested that they go to the courtyard where Xu's mother currently lived. Not only was the courtyard spacious and comfortable to live in, but it was also considered as confinement at her husband's house, which was not taboo.

As usual, Xu's father went to work and was not at home, but Xu Xiaoying, who was an aunt, took a special leave to stay at home. She was impatient to see her sister-in-law and nephews and nieces, as twins, a boy and a girl, are very rare.

Lou San drove the car fast and steadily and soon stopped at the door. Then everyone got out of the car and went straight to the backyard, while Lou San was carrying things in the back miserably.

When Xu Damao came back, everything was settled. Gezi and his sister were playing with the two children, while the two mothers were cooking.

"Come, let me hold the child." Xu Damao picked up his daughter, but the daughter did not give him any face and burst into tears.

"Give the child to me quickly, you are just causing trouble here!" Lou Xiao'e said with a blank look at Xu Damao.

"Hey, my eldest daughter is really disrespectful to me. I'd better hold my son."

"No, you're making my nephew cry too!"

"It's okay, my son and I are very close, he won't cry." But as soon as Xu Damao took his son, he felt a warm current running down from top to bottom. It turned out that his son had urinated on him.

Lou Xiao'e and Yingzi laughed so hard that they were shaking with laughter, and it took them a while to stop.

"Okay, give the child to me first. Go change your clothes." Yingzi finally stopped laughing and took the child over.

Xu Damao went to change his clothes with a depressed look on his face.
