Siheyuan: Rebirth of Liu Ergou

Waves of pain surged like a tide, gradually focusing Liu Ying's consciousness. She tightly grasped the handrail beside the bed, her knuckles turning white from the force. She knew she was about to give birth, and this feeling was both strange and familiar, with a hint of nervousness and anticipation. The house suddenly fell into chaos, as if everything was happening at the same time, with chaos and excitement.

An anxious Liu Rui called the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu to send Liu Ying to the hospital. Seeing Xu Damao riding a tricycle to get something, he quickly called Xu Damao.

Brother Damao, where are you going?

"Liu Rui, what happened to your sister-in-law?" Xu Damao found the people supporting Liu Ying and asked.

My wife is about to give birth, come here quickly. Xu Damao immediately took off his cotton jacket and spread it on the tricycle. Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu followed suit.

Liu Rui helped his wife onto the tricycle, took off his cotton jacket and covered her with it, and several people hurriedly rode the tricycle to the hospital.

Grandma originally planned to go to Liu Rui's mother's house to give gifts, but at this critical moment, she was disrupted by the sudden situation. She anxiously walked around the room, muttering: "What should I do? What should I do?" Her eyes were full of anxiety, and her hands kept rubbing the corners of her clothes.

Second uncle Liu Haizhong rushed over after hearing the news. He had always been the mainstay of the family, but he seemed a little flustered at the moment. But he calmed down and began to direct everything at home. "Second aunt, go and call third aunt, let's go to the hospital to help!" His voice was filled with unquestionable determination, as if everything was under his control.

The second aunt responded and quickly turned around to inform the third aunt. Although the two aunts had some minor frictions on weekdays, at this critical moment, they put aside their grudges and only thought about how to help Liu Ying and Liu Rui overcome this difficulty. Their footsteps echoed in the corridor, with a sense of urgency and anxiety.

In the hospital, Liu Rui waited anxiously, his hands clasped together, his eyes full of worry and expectation. He looked toward the door from time to time, hoping to see his wife Liu Ying. His heartbeat intertwined with the noise of the hospital, forming a unique symphony.

Finally, a burst of hurried footsteps came, and the second and third aunts rushed into the ward like a gust of wind. "Liu Rui, don't worry, we are here to help!" There was a hint of panting in the second aunt's voice, but more of it was firmness and comfort. Liu Rui looked at them gratefully, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that at this critical moment, the company and support of his family was his greatest strength.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and all the waiting and anxiety turned into endless anticipation. Finally, the cry of a baby broke the silence of the hospital. The sound was clear and powerful, carrying the joy and hope of life. Liu Rui's heartbeat accelerated instantly, and he could hardly believe his ears.

The nurse opened the door with a joyful smile on her face. She walked quickly to Liu Rui and said excitedly: "Congratulations, Liu Rui, your wife Liu Ying gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl!" Liu Rui was stunned when he heard the news. An indescribable joy and excitement surged in his heart, as if the whole world had become so beautiful at this moment.

He could not wait to rush to the delivery room, wanting to see his children with his own eyes. When he saw Liu Ying's tired but happy smile, his heart was filled with gratitude and love. He held Liu Ying's hand tightly and said softly: "Thank you, you have worked hard." Liu Ying smiled and shook her head, her eyes full of maternal radiance and endless tenderness.

At this moment, all the waiting and anxiety turned into endless happiness and joy. Liu Rui and Liu Ying's family had a pair of lovely twins, and their lives became more fulfilling and beautiful. Liu Rui looked at the two children, and a strong sense of responsibility and desire to protect them surged in his heart. He knew that he would become a father, and he had to be responsible for these two little lives and create a bright future for them.

As time went by, the twins grew up slowly, and Liu Rui and Liu Ying gradually adapted to the role of parents. They were busy taking care of the children every day, and their lives were filled with laughter.

In order to provide better living conditions for the children, Liu Rui decided to grow some fresh vegetables for his family to eat, so he began to try to grow vegetables. He reclaimed a piece of vacant land in Longxugou and carefully cared for each seedling.

Thanks to Liu Rui's efforts, the vegetables grew well. He not only ate them himself, but also gave some to his neighbors. Everyone praised the vegetables he planted, which gave Liu Rui more confidence.

By chance, Liu Rui learned that there was a severe shortage of vegetables in the city, and he came up with a bold idea - to sell the vegetables he grew in the market.

After some preparation, Liu Rui decided to give it a try, but now vegetables can only be purchased by the vegetable market. Helpless, Liu Rui went to Xu Damao to discuss the matter.

Xu Damao looked at the boy with contempt.

Liu Rui, I'm not saying anything bad to you, but do you know there's a place called Ghost Market? Give your vegetables to me, your brother, and we'll split the profit 40% to 60%. How about I split 40% and you split 60%?

Okay, Brother Damao, it’s settled.

Lou Xiao'e shook her head and looked at the two of them as if they were idiots.
