Extra Chapter 8: Pregnancy and Childbirth
Although there was still a week before the due date, it was not too early. It was already the 38th week. In the early stages, the mother was in good health and the babies were healthy. The doctor told Nan Ge and Shen Yanqing not to be too nervous.
Since they were having twins, their first choice was a C-section. At first, Nan Ge did not feel much. It was as if she had just taken a nap and was woken up every once in a while. When she was pushed in, it was early in the morning. When she came out, the sky was still dark.
However, after coming out, she fell asleep for a while until she was completely awake. At that time, the medicine had just passed. She lay on the hospital bed and was in so much pain that she cried and punched Shen Yanqing’s hand.
As a result, she was not in the mood to care about her two babies. After a while, she remembered the serious matter. “Where’s my daughter?”
She had finally unloaded the goods safely. She wanted to see her precious daughter!
“Quick, let me take a look!” When she came out, her mind was still not very clear. She did not hear what the nurse and the family members were saying at all. In any case, she could only tell that they were congratulating her. After Imowing that the babies were very healthy, she fell asleep in peace.
She did not have time to take a look.
“Don’t move yet.” Seeing that she was about to sit up, Shen Yanqing’s forehead throbbed. He quickly pressed her back down. When she calmed down, he said awkwardly, “They aren’t girls.”
“Huh?” The smile on Nan Gel s face froze.
“Aren’t there two?” There had to be one, right?
Nan Ge did not know if she had been led astray by Nan Zhe previously, but she stubbornly thought that at least one of the two children would be a daughter.
Nan Ge could not accept reality until she saw the two babies.
“They are really… ugly.”
Since daughters looked like their fathers, wouldn’t sons look like their mothers?
Did that mean that she was also so ugly when she was young??
Realizing this, Nan Ge almost vomited blood. After all this time, she was actually scolding herself!
The elders of the two families and Shen Yanqing did not care much about gender. After knowing that the mother and son were safe, they were overjoyed.
Although Nan Zhe did not get a little niece, he was still very happy and posted three times on his WeChat Moments to show off.
Yu and the others had just found out that Nan Ge had given birth today.
Because of the Lantern Festival, everyone could not free themselves that day. It was not until the next day that they rushed to Huai City to visit Nan Ge.
As an uncle, Yu was indeed generous. When he came, he did not come empty-handed. He stuffed a bank card into each of the red packets.
He wanted to carry the baby, but Nan Zhe kicked him to the side. “Just take a look. Do you know how to carry them?”
They were all unmarried bachelors. Would they know how to carry newborns?
She did not even dare to hold them. How could she let Yu do it?
When she said that, Yu was a little nervous. He rubbed his hands and stopped shouting that he wanted to hold them. He hid at the side and watched secretly. “Now that you mention it, these two little ones are really similar to Nan Ge.”
Nan Ge could not stand this. When she heard this, she stopped eating and retorted, “You’re lying through your teeth. They were just born and haven’t grown up at all. Where did you get the impression?”
Yu pursed his lips. “Is there a possibility that I said that because I saw a photo of you when you were young? It’s true. You were also wrinkled.”
Nan Ge was speechless. Alright, she was even angrier. “If you don’t know how to talk, get out.”
“Hey, you’re chasing me away as soon as I entered through the door. I’ve given you all the money I saved up for marriage.” After knowing that Nan Ge was pregnant, he began to prepare red packets.
However, at that time, he did not know that there were two of them. When he found out, he prepared another set with tears in his eyes.
Yu asked, “By the way, when are your university classmates coming to see you?”
Nan Ge raised her eyebrows.
Feeling flustered by her gaze, Yu touched his nose awkwardly and looked away. “It’s a little troublesome for Yuanyuan to apply for leave, so she can only come in a few days.”
Fang Yuanyuan had returned to her hometown to work after graduating as a graduate student. She was also a staff member now.
“Yes. What else?”
“Cheng Xia will arrive in the afternoon. She just started school.” Cheng Xia was currently studying for a PhD and was still at Huai University.
“That’s it?” Yu was a little anxious when he did not hear the name he wanted to hear after waiting for a long time.
Nan Ge stopped teasing him and finally mentioned Su Hui.
“Su Hui is too far away. She probably won’t be able to come in the next two days. Didn’t you see the weather forecast? It’s been snowing at her house recently. The transportation isn’t very convenient.”
“Oh, I see.”
Afraid that Nan Ge would take this opportunity to tease him, Yu quickly changed the topic. “Have you given my two nephews names? What are they called?”
“If you don’t have a name, I can help!”
When Nan Zhe heard this, he was shocked.
‘With the ink in your stomach, forget it.”
Fortunately, Shen Yanqing said gently, “The elders of the two families helped me think of names, but it hasn’t been decided yet.”
Yu nodded. “You have to think about these names carefully.”
In the past few days in the hospital, Nan Ge had nothing to do and had started to think of names for the babies.
Compared to the grand names the elders thought of, the ones she thought of were not presentable at all. As soon as she said them, Nan Zhe glared at her coldly.
According to Nan Zhe, they were not proper names at all.
“Tsk. What do you mean they aren’t serious enough?” When Nan Zhe was not paying attention, she tilted her head and complained to Shen Yanqing. “I just think it sounds pretty good.”
Shen Yanqing obviously felt that these names could not be used, but he could not hurt her. He could only be more tactful. “They’re quite cute, but they’re more suitable for girls. Think about it. When they grow up in the future, such names will more or less cause them some trouble.”
Nan Ge could accept his words.
Then, Shen Yanqing said, “Help them think of their nicknames.” “Forget it.” Nan Ge covered her cup, not wanting to waste her brain cells.
“You’re their mother. Of course, you have to have a sense of participation in this matter.” He whispered into her ear. “Besides, it’s just nicknames. Usually, we’re the only ones who can hear it, so you can do whatever you want.”
Nan Ge pulled the blanket down a little, revealing her big eyes. “Really?”
“Really.” He smiled and continued to coax her. “Don’t worry, you can call them anything you like. I’ll definitely support you.”
“Can the nicknames be a little cuter?”
“Of course,” he replied. “You’re in charge this time.”
Soon, the names of the two babies were finalized.
The older brother, who was born five minutes earlier, was named Yuanqi. The younger brother, who was born five minutes later, was called Xi.
Shen Yuanqi and Shen Xi.
Yuan had the meaning of being first. In addition, the two of them were born during the Lantern Festival. The Lantern Festival was also known as Yuanxi. The names, Yuan and Xi, sounded similar.
As for their nicknames, Nan Ge almost did not even think about it. She wanted to call them Glutinous Balls.
“Do you want to name them both Glutinous Balls? Can you tell them apart?” Nan Zhe asked. It was difficult to tell the two of them apart since they were twins. They could not possibly have the same name, right? Good point. This stumped Nan Ge. “What about the Lantern Festival?”
Shen Yanqing,
She rubbed her chin and fell into deep thought. Ten minutes later, she asked,
“How about Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan?!”
Nan Zhe, ‘
Compared to Glutinous Ball and Lantern Festival, Shen Yanqing felt that Tuanyuan and Yuan Yuan were at least easier to accept..
