Hearing the child's clear cry, tears welled up in Octavia's eyes.
He put Xu Zhiyi's hand to his lips and kissed it softly.
I can't help myself.
Tears wet the back of her hands.
Xu Zhiyi turned to look at Mingrui, with two lines of clear tears hanging from the corners of his eyes. The smile on his lips was exciting and soft, and his voice was a little hoarse, "Mr. Ming, congratulations, you are a father."
Mingrui kissed her hand harder, "Zhiyi...wife..., thank you, thank you, you, you have suffered, I..."
For a moment, he choked with tears.
Before entering the delivery room, Mingrui believed that she had done enough homework to accompany her childbirth and was fully mentally prepared. She would definitely be a solid backing for her daughter-in-law.
However, when he witnessed the anesthesiologist inserting the anesthesia needle into Xu Zhiyi's spine, his theoretical support was instantly shattered.
Such a long and thick needle, piercing into her joints like that, how painful would it be?
The moment the needle penetrated, he felt as if it had stabbed the apex of his heart, and his breath was hard to breathe.
However, he only heard Xu Zhiyi groan.
She, who is usually delicate, is so strong.
Octavia pursed her lips tightly, her eyelids kept blinking, and an unbearable sourness surged into her nose.
He sat in front of Xu Zhiyi, held her hand tightly, suppressed his heartache, and asked her: "Honey, did the anesthesia injection hurt just now? Do you feel uncomfortable now?"
Through the transparent oxygen mask, he saw the smile on the corner of her mouth, "A little, hubby, don't worry, it's okay, the anesthetic has taken effect, I don't feel uncomfortable, compared to the offending I have suffered these past few days, this is nothing." Enjoyed it.”
Octavia almost couldn't hold back her tears.
For her, is this still enjoyment?
It can be seen how much suffering she went through every day in the third trimester of pregnancy.
Afterwards, although he couldn't see the entire process of the caesarean section, he could hear the sound of the scalpel cutting open Xu Zhiyi's belly.
His scalp suddenly became numb.
Through the surgical cloth, he could see the doctors pulling and tugging on her belly, and the magnitude and intensity shocked him.
Shocking.
The scene shocked him.
It is said that women suffer when giving birth to children. At this time, he had a concrete understanding of this suffering and this sin.
No more children.
Just this one.
From now on, she will never be allowed to give birth again.
It was enough for her to suffer this kind of pain and sin once.
Enough is enough.
"Xiao Xu, Octavia, congratulations on your twins. The older brother weighs 3,000 grams and the younger sister weighs 2,800 grams.
The two little guys are very healthy. Their hair is growing dark and thick, which is great.
Xiao Xu is now in good physical condition. "
Hearing Director Feng's words, Xu Zhiyi's eyes filled with tears of joy, "Husband, did you hear that? The twins are twins! Husband, praise me, praise me for how good I am at giving birth, praise me for how awesome I am, praise me quickly. Well."
The medical staff present were amused by her.
Mingrui smiled with tears in his eyes, leaned over and kissed her forehead involuntarily, looking into her moist peach blossom eyes, his voice was as soft as water:
"Wife, you are so great, you are so good at giving birth, so amazing. Wife, you are so great. Wife, I love you, I love you very much."
Xu Zhiyi looked at him and raised the corners of her mouth, "Husband, actually the birth of a boy or a girl is mainly due to you. You are also very powerful. Besides, I love you too."
Hearing what these two couples said, the medical staff couldn't help laughing, raised their eyebrows in tacit understanding, and continued working according to their respective divisions of labor.
"Come and see your baby."
Seeing the baby in the hands of the medical staff, Xu Zhiyi felt magical.
They didn't go through the birth canal, the two little ones weren't squeezed, their bodies weren't deformed, and they looked decent.
They closed their eyes tightly and hummed occasionally, their small mouths as big as broad beans were red, sucking instinctively.
Small, so small, everything is so small.
Small body, small head, small face.
Small nose, small eyes, small mouth, small ears, small hands, and small feet.
Soft and tender.
Her skin is as white as hers.
A spontaneous pride surged into Xu Zhiyi's heart. She looked at Octavia and said, "Hubby, our baby is so cute and beautiful."
Octavia fixed his eyes on the two little guys and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, they are so cute and beautiful. Nurse, can I give them a hug?"
The nurse smiled and said, "Of course."
Before that, Octavia had specially learned how to hold a child.
He looked at the two babies from left to right and asked, "Which one is the sister? I want to hold the sister first."
The nurse handed a baby to him and said, "This is my sister."
Octavia's eyes were full of smiles, he rubbed his hands and took over his sister nervously.
Only then did he realize that holding a baby model and holding a real child were completely different things.
The baby's body was soft and small, as if he would hurt her even if he exerted the slightest force.
He couldn't grasp this speed at all, he was trembling, cautious, unable to start, and at a loss.
Xu Zhiyi was lying on the operating table, looking at the clumsy Octavia and couldn't help laughing.
This was the first time she saw Octavia acting clumsy.
Very cute.
After Octavia took turns holding the two babies, the nurse carried the two children out of the operating room.
Nearly three hours later, the door to the operating room finally opened, and Ming and Xu's family swarmed forward.
"Why does the operation take so long? How is my girl? Is she okay?" Li Zijuan was the first to speak.
She only has Xu Zhiyi in her heart now.
The nurse who left the operating room first said:
"The mother and child are safe, and the operation went smoothly. The extraperitoneal caesarean section operation time is longer than the intraperitoneal caesarean section operation time. The pregnant woman is pregnant with twins, so the operation is more difficult. It takes two or three hours. It is normal. Family members should not think too much. "
Suddenly, Li Zijuan's tense body relaxed, unable to lean on Xu Zhian behind her.
Xu Cheng, who was standing next to her, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, okay, just as long as mother and son are safe, just fine."
When the Ming family heard this, their previous nervousness disappeared, and they had the chance to speak.
Zhou Lan quickly asked: "Nurse, where is the child? The child is..."
The other three elders of the Ming family looked at the nurse.
The nurse smiled and said: "Congratulations, you are twins, brother and sister."
The nurse told them the physical data of the two babies one by one.
"Oh, that's great!" Feng Xiaoyu couldn't help but clap her hands, her eyes filled with joy.
"I just said that my granddaughter-in-law is a blessing. The word 'good' comes out right now. The weight of the twins can reach nearly six kilograms. It's really amazing. It goes so well. It goes so well. So good, so good, so good."
Ming Liang's face lit up, "Who says it's not the case? Honey, this way, we will have no regrets in our lives."
Feng Xiaoyu waved his hand, "No more, my dear, no more. Even if God wants to take me in tomorrow, I will be willing to do so."
Ming Huaiyuan said angrily: "Mom, what are you talking about on such a happy day? Your great-grandson and granddaughter have just been born. You and my dad have to live a long life."
Zhou Lan took over: "Yes, yes, yes, my parents want to live a long life and watch their great-grandchildren grow up. Oh my, I am a grandmother, and I am the grandmother of two children at once. Tsk, that's great."
At this moment, two nurses came out holding the child.
Seven people from Mingxu's family tightly surrounded the nurse and the child. Zhou Lan and Li Zijuan each took a child from the nurse's hands. Everyone stared at it carefully.
"Oh, these two babies are so good-looking. My sister's nose is like Octavia's, and my brother's mouth is exactly the same as Zhiyi's."
"Yes, that's right. Her face shape is also like Zhiyi's, and her skin is all the same."
"Brother's eyes look a bit like Xiao An's."
"My nephew followed his uncle and didn't run away."
"Hey, honey, my sister has eyes like yours, she must be a beauty."
"Don't tell me, the shape of your eyes looks a bit like mine."
"Oh, the more I look at them, the more I like them. These two little guys are so rare."
If it weren't for the nurse's reminder, the seven people would have been boasting endlessly.
Afterwards, the four elders of the Ming family went with the nurse to take care of the child, while the three members of the Xu family continued to wait for Xu Zhiyi at the operating door.
More than half an hour later, Xu Zhiyi was pushed out of the operating room.
Li Zijuan could not see anyone except Xu Zhiyi.
She took three steps and two steps at a time, walked to the gurney, leaned over and held Xu Zhiyi's hand, "Girl, how do you feel?"
Octavia took two steps back and stood side by side with Xu Cheng and Xu Zhian, talking about Xu Zhiyi's situation.
Xu Zhiyi looked fine. After all, she had just undergone surgery and her breath was a little weak. She raised the corner of her mouth and whispered to Li Zijuan: "Mom, I'm fine. Don't worry about me."
"Okay, mom, don't worry anymore. My girl is really amazing. She made it through. Girl, she made it through." Li Zijuan quickly wiped away the tears from her eyes.
The medical staff pushed Xu Zhiyi to the ward. Under the command of the medical staff, Mingrui and Xu Zhian lifted Xu Zhiyi from the gurney to the hospital bed.
According to the doctor's request, she lay flat on the bed without any pillows until the anesthesia time expired in six hours.
Fortunately, the ward was quiet, and she fell asleep half an hour later.
I slept until about 12 o'clock at night
The anesthesia had passed, and the wound was still painful, but fortunately, it was within her tolerance.
The child was cut out in advance and temporarily placed in an incubator for safety reasons.
Mingrui and Li Zijuan were guarding the ward.
Seeing that she was awake, Mingrui immediately stepped forward and asked, "Zhiyi, how do you feel?"
Before giving birth, Xu Zhiyi had never slept well. Now after "unloading", her internal organs are no longer pressed, and she can finally sleep well.
After a good sleep, her energy improved. When she saw Octavia, the first thing she said was: "Honey, I'm so hungry and want to eat."
When she saw Li Zijuan walking over, she said coquettishly, "Mom, I want to eat the dumplings you made and the birthday noodles you made for me."
Li Zijuan pretended to be angry, "I just gave birth to a baby. Even if I eat, I should eat something light first. How can I eat something as heavy as a dumpling? Huh? Mingrui, go ask Director Feng how long it will take for Zhiyi to eat after the operation." ."
Mingrui smiled and said, "Mom, you don't have to worry about intestinal adhesions after an extraperitoneal caesarean section. You can eat normally after passing the gas and anesthesia."
Li Zijuan: "That's good. It'll be better if you suffer less."
Mingrui straightened Xu Zhiyi's hair and coaxed her:
"Zhiyi, let's not eat the dumplings for now, okay? Let mom make you some light birthday noodles tomorrow. I'll ask my family to bring you the confinement meal. Eat something light first, and be obedient."
Xu Zhiyi looked reluctant, "Okay then. Send it over quickly, I'm really hungry."
"Okay, quick, right away."
After saying that, Octavia called home.
Li Zijuan sat in front of the hospital bed and was filled with joy when she saw that her girl could eat and sleep after giving birth. "It seems that everyone is right. My girl is really a blessed person. She gave birth to twins smoothly and is still in such a good condition after delivery." OK, Mom is so happy."
Xu Zhiyi looked at Li Zijuan and suddenly had tears in her eyes:
"Well, Mom, I'm fine, you and my dad don't worry about me anymore.
And, Mom, I'm sorry, thank you. "
Li Zijuan was a little confused, "Silly girl, what's wrong with you? Why did you say this suddenly?"
Xu Zhiyi reached out and took her hand, saying nothing.
Only today did she understand firsthand what it means to not raise a child and not be grateful to your parents.
From her pregnancy to the day she gave birth, so many people protected her, and Octavia provided her with such good conditions, she felt that it was difficult and difficult to give birth to a baby.
Thinking about it carefully, it was probably ten times harder for Li Zijuan to be pregnant with her and Xu Zhian than it was for her.
Xu Cheng had to go to work, and even though Li Zijuan was suffering from pregnancy, there was no one to help her. She continued to do housework with her big belly, and she couldn't miss a single item.
It's just that I'm physically tired and uncomfortable, but I also have to be squeezed by Xu Zhaocai and Zhang Ruihua from time to time.
The hospital conditions at that time were not as good as she is now. Both she and Xu Zhian had normal births, and Li Zijuan had to endure countless times more pain to support them.
Li Zijuan had no maternal family, and Zhang Ruihua didn't want to see her. After giving birth to Xu Zhiyi and Xu Zhian, there was no one to take care of her during the confinement period.
Xu Zhiyi couldn't imagine how Li Zijuan survived without anyone's help.
Even if Xu Cheng could do something after get off work, for Li Zijuan, the days of raising a child with no one and no money were destined to be difficult.
Just like that, she survived.
Looking back at myself now, even if there was no Mingrui to hire a confinement nanny for Xu Zhiyi during the confinement period, Li Zijuan would be waiting for her day and night to complete the confinement period.
No complaints.
All this is because she is a mother.
Destined to be selfless and dedicated.
willingly.
Mother's love cannot be praised enough in any words.
Xu Zhiyi thought to herself that in the future, she should be nicer to Li Zijuan.
The next day, Xu Zhiyi was able to walk, but the wound still hurt when he pulled hard.
That's not the important thing yet.
What troubled her was that she had not been able to breastfeed.
Director Feng said that caesarean section will have some impact on this, but the most important thing depends on the mother's physical condition and genetic factors.
Li Zijuan said that she had a lot of milk back then.
It seems that it is Xu Zhiyi's personal reason.
This made the Ming family very anxious.
The two children were so hungry that they cried, so I had to feed them some water with a spoon first.
The main reason is that if I use a pacifier to feed my child milk powder now, Xu Zhiyi will reject the mother's feeding when she has milk.
Director Feng used various methods to induce lactation, and on the third day, Xu Zhiyi finally gave birth to breast milk.
Although it wasn't much, the two children finally had their mother's first milk.
Xu Zhiyi endured the pain of the abdominal wound, sweating profusely, and awkwardly fed the child, only to feel a stinging pain in his chest.
She finally knows what the power of breastfeeding is.
The power of a child to suck milk is really quite big.
Seven days later, Xu Zhiyi was discharged from the hospital.
The Ming family hired a two-month-old sister-in-law and a nutritionist to take care of Xu Zhiyi and their two children.
She had enough people, but her problem of insufficient milk became more and more serious.
