Chapter 203 Twins
The child, this is their child.
……
On the other side, the Qin family.
Du Mei got up early in the morning to make breakfast.
From the day Xu Sui was admitted to the hospital, she officially started working. Qin Yunzhou stayed at the hospital, so she didn't live there, since men and women are different.
Therefore, Du Mei was responsible for preparing three meals a day and delivering them to their hospital wards.
To better care for the new mother and the newborn, she also sought out experienced people to learn from for a month or two, carefully studying everything from food to small details.
Now I have some experience.
When Grandma Qin returned from sweeping the streets, she saw Du Mei standing at the stove making breakfast. She went over and glanced at the porridge cooking on the stove. It wasn't plain porridge; it contained some minced meat, cooked until soft and flavorful, and smelled so delicious that it made her mouth water.
Without a doubt, this meat was bought by Qin Yunzhou out of love for his wife, using meat coupons and asking someone to help him purchase it.
"Xiaomei, work hard and don't let down your second cousin's wife and the others who trust you."
After spending so much time together, it's not like Old Mrs. Qin didn't notice that Xu Sui was secretly preparing for her exams in the house. Not only did she notice, but other members of the Qin family also had some idea about it, though they didn't know what Xu Sui was preparing for.
She overheard a few words by chance, and the situation is still uncertain.
To be honest, when she heard this, Grandma Qin thought she had misheard and couldn't quite believe it.
However, when you think about it, Qin Yunzhou is no ordinary person. He is a proper military officer, a college student who attended a military academy, and grew up in a big city like Beijing.
Even their demeanor is different from that of people in their small county town.
He must know what his wife wants to do. Since he knows, it means that Qin Yunzhou supports and approves of what Xu Sui is doing now.
She's lived most of her life, so her judgment of people is usually sound.
Whether it's Xu Sui or Qin Yunzhou, they both have a long road ahead of them and can definitely say they have a bright future. It's always a good idea to get along well with them.
If Qin Yunzhou weren't a member of the Qin family, they probably wouldn't have been able to get close to him or establish a good relationship with him beforehand.
"From now on, you'll stay with your second cousin's wife and the others. Wherever they ask you to go, just follow them without hesitation. Whatever they ask you to do, just do it obediently."
"Remember, if you help them take care of their children, they won't harm you."
Du Mei looked up from the stove, smiled, and said, "Don't worry, Grandma, I understand."
"You've said these words so many times, I remember them all."
This wasn't the first time the old lady had said these things to her.
The old lady seemed a little worried, afraid that she might forget. Whenever she had free time, she would pull her aside and talk to her about these things, implying that she should listen to her second cousin's wife and the others.
Perhaps she really worried her grandmother too much, which is why her grandmother kept repeating these things to her.
Grandma Qin sighed, looking at her granddaughter's face as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, all her unspoken words turned into a sigh, "It's good that you know."
"The porridge is almost done cooking, go and take it to your cousin-in-law and the others."
Actually, she was aware that she had told her granddaughter this countless times, and she knew that saying it too much would easily annoy people.
Just thinking about how Xu Sui might go to university and study for several years, and how Xiao Mei would have to go with her, made her realize that Xu Sui would likely go to university and study for several years.
This departure lasted for several years.
She's getting old, and sometimes her memory isn't so good.
If Xiaomei goes and something happens to her, we might never see her again.
Lihong is gone again. Xiaomei is all alone in this world, without a city household registration or a stable job.
What should she do?
The more you worry, the more you tend to nag.
Du Mei smiled and packed all the porridge. "Okay, Grandma, I'm going to the hospital now."
"Go on, go on, don't keep your cousin-in-law and the others waiting." Old Mrs. Qin waved her hand and said.
Soon, Du Mei took her breakfast to the hospital.
Unexpectedly, she returned not long after, rushing back as she did, her forehead beaded with sweat and her breath coming in ragged gasps.
"Grandma, Grandma, it's been born! My cousin's wife gave birth! She gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl!"
Old Mrs. Qin, who was holding her radio, ready to listen to opera with Aunt Liu from the same courtyard, immediately stood up upon hearing this and hurriedly asked:
"You really gave birth? When did you give birth? How is your cousin's wife? Is she alright?"
"It's alright, it's alright. My cousin's wife and the two children are all fine. My second cousin asked me to come back and let the family know that we're safe."
Aunt Liu, standing nearby, couldn't help but express her envy, saying, "Sui Sui has only been married into the Qin family for a short time, and she's already given you a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. Sui Sui has really done a great service this time."
Although she already has grandchildren, twins (a boy and a girl) have a better meaning, and everyone would envy them.
Grandma Qin smiled so much her face was covered in wrinkles, "That's right, he's the only grandson in our Qin family now."
After saying that, he remembered something else and hurriedly spoke up.
"No, I have to go and see. Sui Sui's parents-in-law are both at work, and I'm the only elder in the family right now. I have to go and check on them."
"Sister Liu, when they come back later, could you please tell them for me that Sui Sui gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and that I'm going to the hospital to see Sui Sui and the two babies?"
"Alright, alright, you guys go ahead. I'll tell them when they get back."
At that moment, Xiao Fen, who was tidying up the house, also heard the commotion outside.
She thought about it and was about to go and take a look.
She had only walked a few steps when she ran back into the house. After searching for a long time, she found some red paper and then rummaged through her dowry chest, which she had used for many years, and took out all her belongings.
Ever since I used all my money to buy my mother-in-law a job.
Xiao Fen didn't have much money left. In the past few months, she had managed to save up a little more, but not much, a total of fourteen yuan and fifty-seven cents.
Five yuan of that money is to be saved to buy medicine for Qin Min this month and cannot be touched.
She thought for a moment and was about to put four yuan in each red envelope. Just as she put the money in the red paper, she suddenly took it back. She felt that four was not a good omen, so she put five yuan in each red envelope. After deducting the money for medicine, she didn't have much money left.
After considering it, Xiao Fen decided to put three yuan and fifty cents in each red envelope, making a total of seven yuan.
These wallets, when converted into red envelopes, are not a small amount; at least in their small county, they are presentable.
No matter how much more, she couldn't produce it.
Xu Sui helped them make the connection, asking Grandma Xu to help Qin Min get medical treatment. Regardless of whether the illness can be cured, the couple appreciated the favor.
In addition, she was the eldest sister-in-law, and Xu Sui gave birth to the first grandson of the Qin family.
The eldest branch of the family should at least show some respect, lest those outsiders start gossiping again, saying that she and Xu Sui don't get along, or that she's jealous of Xu Sui's ability to have children.
