Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

"Jie Kuang is back?!" The neighbor who was chatting with the third aunt saw Yan Jie Kuang coming back and took the initiative to greet him. Yan Jie Kuang responded very politely and handed the dish in his hand to the third aunt. The third aunt took the dish and asked, "Is everything done?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "It's all done! Here are the household registration books and the grain purchase certificate." After that, Yan Jiekuang took out two things from his bag and handed them to Yan Bugui who happened to come out of the house.

The neighbor next to them saw the vegetables in Auntie's hand and said with some envy: "Auntie, the vegetables Jie Kuang bought are really fresh!"

The third aunt smiled and replied, "Shui Ling is Shui Ling, and the things are probably expensive. My Jie Kuang only knows how to spend money on the family. He doesn't even know how to save a little for himself."

Yan Jiekuang said: "Mom, money is earned to be spent. Only when my family is well can I work with peace of mind."

Yan Bugui said, "Don't stay here anymore, go see your wife!"

"Hey!" Yan Jiekuang responded and ran towards his room.

Time soon came to the fourth day of the first lunar month. At dinner, Su Zihui was fine. After dinner, Yan Jiekuang was walked around the yard by Su Zihui twice, and then returned to the room and the two chatted. When the two were chatting enthusiastically, Su Zihui suddenly had a stomachache.

Seeing this, Yan Jiekuang immediately ran out of the house and shouted, "Dad, Xiaohui is about to give birth!"

When Yan Bugui heard the cry, he immediately ran out of the main room, took out the key, opened the lock on the side, and pulled the cart leaning against the corner to the door. The third aunt and Yan Jiedi ran into Yan Jiekuang's room, one took the quilt and the other took the things needed for childbirth. Yan Jiekuang came out of the room holding Su Zihui.

After the third aunt had spread the quilt, Yan Jiekuang put Su Zihui on the cart. Yan Jiekuang pulled the cart while comforting Su Zihui and ran to the hospital as fast as he could.

"Doctor! My wife is about to give birth!" Yan Jiekuang entered the hospital gate, immediately picked up Su Zihui and ran towards the emergency room. The doctor on duty heard the call and immediately ran out of the office. The nurse also pulled a flatbed cart. Yan Jiekuang put Su Zihui on the flatbed cart and ran to the operating room.

When Yan Jiekuang was about to reach the door of the operating room, he was stopped by a nurse: "Comrade, you can't go in. Please wait outside."

Yan Jiekuang immediately took out a paper bag from his pocket and said, "Nurse, there is ginseng in it. Let my wife put it in her mouth later."

"Got it!" The nurse took the paper bag and went into the operating room.

After a while, Yan Bugui, the third aunt, and Yan Jiedi also rushed to the hospital. Yan Bugui asked, "Jie Kuang, how is he now?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "He just went in. I don't think it will be that fast. Dad, Mom! Please stay here and watch over me. I'll go call Xiaohui's parents."

"Go quickly!" Yan Bugui said as he made way.

After Yan Jiekuang finished the call, he quickly came to the door of the operating room to wait for news. About an hour later, Su Zihui's parents rushed over.

"Dad! Mom!" Yan Jiekuang called out when he saw someone. Ding Jinan asked, "What's the situation now?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "Still inside?!"

Ding Jinan comforted her: "Don't worry, this is what happens when you give birth for the first time."

"Oh!" Yan Jiekuang replied casually, his eyes fixed on the operating room.

About half an hour later, a baby's cry was heard. Upon hearing the cry, people outside the operating room smiled excitedly and said in unison, "It's born! It's born!"

Before everyone finished speaking, another cry was heard. Everyone outside the door was dumbfounded. At this moment, the door of the operating room was pushed open a crack. The head nurse came out and asked, "Who is Su Zihao's family member?!"

Yan Jiekuang hurried forward and said, "I am her husband. How is my wife?!"

The head nurse replied, "Congratulations! Your wife has given birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Both the children and the adults are safe. We are cleaning up now. Here is the payment slip, go and pay it!" After that, the head nurse handed the receipt in her hand to Yan Jiekuang.

Yan Jiekuang took the receipt and ran straight to the payment window.

Two minutes later, Yan Jiekuang paid the money and ran back to the operating room. Not long after, the nurse pushed Su Zihui out of the operating room. Yan Jiekuang immediately ran to the side of the flatbed cart and asked, "Xiaohui, how are you?!"

Su Zihui smiled and replied weakly, "It's okay!" Then she fell asleep. Seeing that Su Zihui was okay, Ding Jinan and the third aunt looked at the two children in the nurse's arms. Ding Jinan took the grandson, and the third aunt took the granddaughter, and the two of them followed the children to the ward.

After settling Su Zihui and the child, Yan Jiekuang said, "Mom and Dad, you all go back first! I'm the only one who can take care of you here."

Yan Bugui and his wife and Su Yanwu and his wife looked at each other. Ding Jinan said, "Okay! I'll come over early tomorrow morning."

The third aunt said, "Don't worry. My husband, Old Yan, and I are fine at home. We will come early tomorrow."

Yan Jiekuang said: "You don't have to come here so early. I'm here!"

Su Yanwu looked at Yan Jiekuang and said, "Boy, take good care of my daughter."

"Got it!" Yan Jiekuang replied. After sending everyone away, he closed the door of the ward, walked to the bedside, pulled over a chair and sat down.

A little after four in the morning, the doctor on duty came to check on the room. Yan Jiekuang had just sent the doctor away when Su Zihui woke up. Yan Jiekuang heard the noise and ran to the bedside, asking, "Wife, are you okay?!"

Su Zihui laughed and replied, "Nothing!" Then she asked, "How's the child?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "They are over there! The two little ones are quite strong. The eldest is a son, weighing 15 pounds and 6 ounces. The second is a daughter, weighing 15 pounds and 2 ounces."

Su Zihui smiled and said, "No wonder I was so tired when I was pregnant with them. It turns out that I have two little things in my belly."

Yan Jiekuang echoed, "Yeah! These two little guys have really tormented you!"

Su Zihui laughed and said, "But seeing them born safely makes it all worth it."

Yan Jiekuang asked, "Wife, are you hungry? Do you want me to get you something to eat?"

Su Zihui shook her head and replied, "I'm not hungry yet."

"Then you can sleep a little longer." Yan Jiekuang helped Su Zihui tuck in the quilt.

Su Zihui smiled and closed her eyes. Yan Jiekuang watched Su Zihui fall into a deep sleep, with a faint smile on his face.

A little after five in the morning, Yan Bugui and the third aunt came. The third aunt entered the ward and asked in a low voice: "How is Xiaohui?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "It's okay! I just woke up and fell asleep again." Then he took the thermos in the hands of the third aunt and asked, "Dad, Mom! Why did you come so early?!"

Yan Bugui said, "Your mother and I are worried, and we didn't get much sleep when we got home. You might as well come here early." Then Yan Bugui took out the key and handed it to Yan Jiekuang, saying, "You've been up all night, go back and rest for a while. There's food in the pot for you. Here's the bicycle key."

Yan Jiekuang hesitated for a moment, took the key, turned his head to look at Su Zihui, and said, "Then I'll go back first! Thank you for your hard work!"

"Silly boy, we are all family, why are you talking about hard work? Let's go!" After saying this, Yan Bugui sent Yan Jiekuang away, and he and his wife first looked at the two children, and finally sat down beside Su Zihui's bed.
