The temperature in the north city is cool in September, with the highest temperature every day being just over 20 degrees.
When Wen Nuan was pushed out, she saw Gu Qinghan with red eyes. He heard the sound of the delivery room door opening, and he handed the child in his arms to Chen Ma beside him, and then walked towards her.
Gu Qinghan didn't care what others thought. He stepped forward and held the warm but slightly cool hand, frowning: "Why is it so cold?"
He held the warm hand and felt like he was back in the first winter when they first arrived in North City. Her hands and feet were icy cold.
But it had been a long time since he felt his warm hands become so cold.
Gu Qinghan looked at Wen Nuan's pale face and asked worriedly again: "Wife? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Before Wen Nuan could say anything, Li Yunhua, who was pushing the hospital bed, replied, "It's okay. It's because it's colder inside the delivery room than outside. You'll be fine after a rest. If the condition doesn't improve after ten minutes of rest, come find me."
Hearing this, Gu Qinghan looked at Li Yunhua and nodded at her: "Thank you, Doctor Li."
Seeing that Qinghan was still in a state of disarray, Wen Nuan raised her hand, stroked his arm, and said with a smile, "I'm much better now."
After unloading all the weight from her stomach, Wen Nuan felt more relaxed than ever before.
But the next second, someone moved the hospital bed cart, and Wen Nuan immediately frowned and let out a painful "hiss".
Gu Qinghan saw all of this, and stretched out his hand to cover her pale face. His eyes became even redder, and he choked up and said, "I won't have any more children in the future. I won't have any more children even if you want them."
After saying that, he took up her warm hand and kissed the back of her hand.
Wen Nuan's eyes also became moist, and she choked up when she saw Gu Qinghan's distressed look.
Finally, she said to him pitifully, "Qinghan, it hurts so much. It hurts so much."
The tone of her voice was a bit tearful and coquettish.
She didn't know how many times she wanted Gu Qinglan to bring this man into the delivery room so that he could see the pain she was suffering.
But besides her, there were other women giving birth in the delivery room at that time, and they were not separated.
Men are not allowed in the delivery room.
But at this moment, Wen Nuan knew that her man was trustworthy.
She didn't need to hide her true feelings. She hadn't expected that two children would be so heavy and exhausting.
I don't care about babies anymore.
Gu Qinghan leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, his voice hoarse: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I will never let you suffer like this again."
After this incident, he was afraid.
He didn't want to experience such a scene again, and he didn't want Wen Nuan to go through the gates of hell again.
Lele came over at some point, and seeing the warmth in the sick woman's body, he knew that she was not feeling well.
He stretched out his little hand and touched the warm forehead, saying, "Mom, your head is so cold, I'll give you my coat."
As he said that, he actually ran over to the stool to get his cotton jacket.
Because there is a big temperature difference between morning and night in the north city, although it is only September, the temperature at night is only about ten degrees.
They all wore cotton-padded jackets when they went out. The little guy came over quickly with his own small cotton-padded jacket, standing on tiptoes to put it on his warm body.
Unfortunately, it was not high enough and the clothes only covered half of it.
Wen Nuan smiled and said, "Thank you, Lele."
Gu Qinghan was afraid that Lele would accidentally get Wen Nuan, so he caught her clothes when she put them down.
Said to Lele: "Lele, let mommy rest for a while. Mommy is still very weak now."
Wen Nuan pulled Gu Qinghan's arm and said with a smile, "Give me the clothes. Lele is being kind."
Seeing this, Gu Qinghan gently spread Lele's small clothes on her warm body.
Seeing that Gu Qinghan and Wen Nuan were still chatting, Mr. Zhao couldn't help but say, "Deputy Captain Gu, let Xiao Nuan go back to the bed. The mother needs to keep warm."
Li Yunhua looked at Gu Qinghan and Wen Nuan and smiled: "Xiao Nuan is still very weak now. Wait until she has rested well, and then you can talk slowly."
Then Zhao Qinyuan handed Gu Qinghan another prescription and reminded him, "Have someone go back and make some milk-inducing soup and send it over. Otherwise, the two children will make a fuss if they don't have any food."
Gu Qinghan took a look at it and carefully put it away. "Thank you, Mr. Zhao. I will send Xiao Nuan to the general ward first and then go back to make soup."
Seeing that her elder brother and sister-in-law were reluctant to part, Gu Qinglan hurriedly pushed Wen Nuan and took them to the ward.
*
When we arrived at the ward, Wen Nuan was probably too tired and fell asleep immediately.
Seeing that his wife was frowning even when she was asleep, Gu Qinghan carefully picked up Wen Nuan and put her on the ordinary bed.
Even though his movements were very gentle, when he put the ** down, Wen Nuan still frowned slightly, as if it hurt.
I don't know if it's because most people choose the cool autumn season to give birth and recuperate, so several wards are full. Normally, there are not many women giving birth in this military hospital.
So Gu Qinghan paid extra money and booked a double room for Wen Nuan, which also included an extra bed for the accompanying person to stay for two nights.
Gu Qinghan saw that Wen Nuan was asleep, and the two newborns were not making any noise yet.
So she said to Aunt Chen, "Aunt Chen, my two sisters-in-law and I will watch over here first. Go back and make some milk-inducing soup and bring it over. Here is the list written by Doctor Zhao. Just make it according to it."
Sister Guihua saw that Aunt Chen was still holding the child, so she walked over and said in a low voice, "There's no need for Aunt Chen to run back and forth. I've already asked my mother to make crucian carp and papaya soup. I'll just go back and get it later."
Then Sister Guihua said, "I want to take Lele home for a nap. The child is so young, I can't stay up all night with him."
Although Lele was not quite accepting of the two wrinkled babies, now that the babies were asleep, he felt it was quite novel and wanted to stay here.
Gu Qinghan looked at Lele. It would be difficult to take care of her once the child woke up. It would be better to let her go back to the family yard and play with Zhuzi.
Gu Qinghan said to the child, "Le Le, go back and play with your brother Zhuzi. Mommy should be able to go home in two days."
Lele pouted, sounding a little unhappy: "I want to stay here and play with the baby."
Gu Qinghan squatted down and said patiently: "The baby won't play with you yet. When we get home, you can play with them."
"Then..." Lele was a little confused.
Gu Qinglan had just put an IV drip on Wen Nuan, so she came over and touched Le Le's head, saying with a smile, "When Auntie gets off work, I'll bring you over to see the baby. How about we ride our bikes over here?"
Ever since Wen Nuan became pregnant, she lent her bicycle to Gu Qinglan so that she could go back and forth between the family home and the hospital.
When the little boy heard this, he nodded quickly and then stretched out a little finger, "Auntie, you have to pinky promise me."
Gu Qinglan made a pinky promise with her and said with a smile, "Okay, it's a deal!"
Lele made a face at her and said, "It's Wangwang Dog who's lying."
Sister Guihua took Lele back to the family compound. Gu Qinghan saw that Sister Juxiang and Aunt Chen were still looking after the child and Wen Nuan was asleep again, so he found a bathroom and planned to simply wash up and change into clean clothes.
*
Wen Nuan was awakened by the crying of the child, but she slept for more than an hour.
Sister Guihua also brought some milk-inducing soup from the family yard. Seeing that Wen Nuan had woken up, she asked her to drink some soup first and then eat some food later.
The warm labor process lasted for half a day. I was really hungry and thirsty at this moment. Fortunately, I had a nap first.
After she drank the soup and ate something, she felt much more energetic. It happened that Aunt Chen and Sister Juxiang were preparing to prepare milk powder for the baby.
Wen Nuan thought of Li Yunhua's instructions that she should let the child help stimulate sucking so that milk could come out better, so she rubbed her eyes and said, "Auntie Chen, Sister Juxiang, give me the child."
Deng Juxiang held the child and said to Wen Nuan, "Come one by one. Your wound still hurts, don't worry."
Seeing that Wen Nuan had finally woken up, Chen's mother took the child in her arms and said, "It was the child who woke you up just now, wasn't it? Are you full?"
Aunt Chen took a look at the soup and rice that Sister Guihua brought over. She didn't know whether it was because Wen Nuan's appetite hadn't recovered yet or because the taste didn't suit her, but she only ate a little.
Wen Nuan nodded and said softly, "I'm full. I don't have much appetite now. Give me the child."
Wen Nuan didn't get up, just lay there, so Aunt Chen assisted her and asked her to lie on her side to make it easier to feed her.
Although Lele has been weaned for more than two years, Wen Nuan is still quite experienced and the baby is already sucking on it.
Wen Nuan looked around the ward and asked, "Where's Qinghan?"
Gu Qinghan has returned from Beijing, and there must be a lot of things he hasn't dealt with yet. Could it be that he was called in by his superiors to be reprimanded
After all, it was Commander Xu who specially arranged for Gu Qinghan to go to Beijing this time, but it was obvious that the tasks in Beijing had not been fully completed.
Mother Chen washed a newly bought and dried towel with warm water, wiped the sweat from the back of Wen Nuan's neck, and said with a smile: "Qinghan said he was going to change his clothes. He was afraid that when you got up, you would still see him in a slovenly state, and that you would dislike him."
Sister Juxiang also joked: "Your deputy group leader Gu is really particular. I don't know how many times my old Zhao has told him that he still forgets to wash his feet before getting on the kang. It makes me so angry. If our house had a bigger place, I wouldn't even want to sleep on the same kang with him."
Mother Chen also shook her head in disdain. "Our old Zhao was a little better after he went to the Air Force compound, but his true colors showed as soon as he got home. He also didn't like to wash his feet."
"Qinghan is really the most hygienic man I have ever met. It's our little Nuantiao who taught him well!"
The most important thing is that Gu Qinghan is willing to listen to Wen Nuan's words. If it were other men, there are many male chauvinists who are willing to listen to their wives, but some of them are just pretending and don't listen.
He promised something with his mouth, but forgot it completely the moment he turned around.
Wen Nuan smiled, but even her smile hurt the stitches, so she didn't want to talk anymore.
Just then, Gu Qinghan, Mr. Zhao and Li Yunhua came in together, saying they were here to check on Wen Nuan.
Gu Qinghan saw Wen Nuan frowning again, so he went up to her and touched her forehead, asking, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable again? Doctor Li, please come and help my wife."
Wen Nuan frowned: "I'm fine, it's just that the wound hurts."
She just wanted to lie back down and accidentally pulled the wound. It was not as serious as he said!
But seeing Gu Qinghan tidy up again, he became the handsome boy again. Although he has lost a lot of weight, he is still quite pleasing to the eye.
If my two sons can look like Gu Qinghan in the future, they will probably be very handsome.
Li Yunhua came forward and said he wanted to check her abdomen, but when pressing her abdomen, Wen Nuan cried out in pain again, "It hurts, it hurts..."
Seeing Gu Qinghan was about to step forward, Mr. Zhao quickly stretched out his hand to stop her, saying, "This is to help her uterus contract, don't worry."
Gu Qinghan was in a hurry, so he stepped forward and grabbed Wen Nuan's hand, then looked at Li Yunhua, wanting to urge her to hurry up...
But the next second, Wen Nuan glared at him and he stopped talking.
When Li Yunhua withdrew his hand, Wen Nuan looked at the ceiling pitifully with watery eyes, not wanting to say anything anymore.
Li Yunhua and Mr. Zhao both reached out and touched Wen Nuan's head, and joked to Gu Qinghan: "If your grandfather saw you like this, he would probably be more nervous than you."
After Wen Nuan finished feeling the pain, she smiled and asked Gu Qinghan beside her: "Did you call grandpa?"
She had no way to call Commander Lu, so she could only rely on this man to tell Grandpa the good news.
Grandpa is probably thinking about her too, it's just that communication is too difficult in those days, not to mention during this special period. Grandpa must be as busy as a top.
Gu Qinghan said, "Let's go back to the group tomorrow and then go play. You should take a rest. I'll go and hug the baby."
The child may have heard the warm cries, and his crying was even worse than before.
Gu Qinghan walked over to sister-in-law Juxiang and took his brother in his arms. Only then did he look at the two children seriously.
Sister Juxiang saw Gu Qinghan carefully looking at the child, and said with a smile: "I can see that he will be a handsome boy in the future. He looks so much like you!"
Gu Qinghan frowned, looking at the baby in the cradle, and felt that he didn't look like him in any way.
Li Yunhua and Mr. Zhao came over to their brother and laughed, "His nose is like Xiao Gu's, tall and straight. If only his eyes were like Xiao Nuan's, he would be so beautiful."
I don’t know if my brother sucked some colostrum just now, he cried a few times, but now he has become quiet again, with his eyes closed, as if he is half asleep, very well-behaved.
Gu Qinghan listened to their words and was a little unconvinced, so he took the child back to the ward and let Wen Nuan see him together, "Wife, do you think he looks like me?"
Then, Gu Qinghan remembered what Lele said when he saw the babies for the first time: "They are so ugly."
Gu Qinghan recalled Lele's childhood. The most memorable time was the time when they came to North City together. Lele was seven or eight months old at that time. His body and face were chubby, and he was fair and tender, very cute.
But now these two little guys are not only wrinkled, but also red. The skin on their faces seems to be peeling, and there is still some fetal hair on their foreheads that has not fallen off completely...
He couldn't help but frowned and uttered a few words: "It's really ugly."
Why is it so ugly
Obviously he, Wen Nuan, and Le Le are all good-looking, especially their sister Le Le, who wouldn't say she's adorable when seeing them
How come these two guys are so ugly
Wen Nuan glanced at the child in Gu Qinghan's arms and frowned. Although the child was a little ugly, all newborns looked almost the same. After the confinement period, the child would change day by day.
She looked at Gu Qinghan, took her brother over unhappily, and said, "Don't say it in front of them next time!"
Gu Qinghan scratched his nose innocently, "They don't understand either."
Wen Nuan snorted, frowned and glared at him: "She is so happy to have a son, but you are disgusted with her. You should reflect on yourself!"
Gu Qinghan didn't seem to have the intention of having a son or a daughter.
When I was pregnant, I asked him whether he wanted a son or a daughter, but Gu Qinghan just replied: "Can you think of it just by thinking about it?"
She was so angry that she couldn't help but beat up this straight man.
Gu Qinghan saw that Wen Nuan seemed a little angry, so he pulled a chair and sat down, then kissed Wen Nuan on the forehead.
Then he said softly: "Of course my son is good."
"In this way, Lele is still our only daughter."
"From now on, the two boys and I will be able to protect you and Lele."
Wen Nuan listened to Gu Qinghan's words and muttered, "You're so talkative."
"I want to suck his milk, you go away." Wen Nuan had just fed her brother briefly, and probably her milk hadn't come in yet, so her brother was making a fuss again.
I don’t know if he understood what his father said about him and his brother!
Gu Qinghan didn't leave. Instead, he pulled the curtain for her and smiled: "Hey, I'll keep watch over you."
Although Wen Nuan had a good sleep, her strength had not recovered yet.
Now that Gu Qinghan had said this, she was too lazy to argue with him and let her brother suck as well, so as to produce milk as soon as possible.
Gu Qinghan reached out and stroked her temples. The loose hair was wet with sweat and then dried by the wind.
After a while, he couldn't help leaning over and kissing her, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Nuannuan. Having you guys is enough."
Wen Nuan was annoyed by his noise, so she closed her eyes and said, "Since you have so much free time, why don't you name the child as soon as possible."
Then she couldn't help but remind him, "Don't be like Lele when he was little. It took him several months to get his household registration."
Lele's name was given when we came to Beicheng, and we can't let it be like this again this time.
Gu Qinghan glanced at the little guy who was trying hard to get into his warm embrace, frowned, and said after a while: "Wife, your name is much better than mine. Why don't you wait until you are discharged from the hospital and then take your time to choose a name."
Wen Nuan glared at him unhappily, hugged the child in her arms, and frowned: "No, I named Lele, and it's your turn to name the two sons."
It took her so long to think of a name for Lele, just one little baby. If there were two little ones, she would be really busy.
This time, she won't take on the job.
Mother Chen came over holding her crying brother and said, "It's time to name the child earlier. Before it snows in the next two months, register the child's household registration. Otherwise, we'll have to wait until next year."
Wen Nuan looked at Qing Han and hesitated to speak, reminding him: "Think carefully, don't just do it casually."
There are too many names like National Day and Patriotism in this era.
These names are so common that if you shout "National Day" in the family compound, at least ten or eight children will come forward to claim them.
*
Gu Qinghan didn't know whether to laugh or cry until about five in the afternoon, when the two children finally fell asleep after drinking some milk powder.
Gu Qinghan asked Sisters Guihua and Juxiang to go back and rest for a night and come back to help tomorrow.
Wen Nuan also took a short nap, then he took a piece of paper, walked over pretentiously, and said, "I remember I named Le Le Xingfu, and the two brothers will be named Ping An and Ji Xiang."
warmth:"… "
Even Mother Chen couldn't help but burst out laughing after hearing what Gu Qinghan said.
He said, "This is too rustic. Qinghan, think about it again. Otherwise, if your sister is named Gu Wanyue and your two brothers are named Ping An Ji Xiang, how will they feel in the future?"
Gu Qinghan explained seriously: "I think it's OK, it's easier to support if it's ordinary."
Zhou Jianshe also nicknamed his child Zhuzi, so compared to this, Ping An Ji Xiang is not so unacceptable.
"The nickname is okay, but the real name is not so good." Aunt Chen shook her head.
Wen Nuan looked at Gu Qinghan, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Look, even Aunt Chen thinks it's not good. Think about it again and don't do it so casually!"
I even took out a piece of paper to write it down, and actually came up with this name.
Gu Qinghan cast a pleading look and said, "It's too difficult, wife, you should do it."
"Then... why not let grandpa name the child?" Wen Nuan smiled at him and continued, "Aren't you going to call grandpa early tomorrow morning? And by the way, let grandpa take some time to name the child?"
"But I don't know if Grandpa is free. How is your mission going?" Wen Nuan asked again.
Gu Qinghan said, "There may be a lot of follow-up work to be done. Although the people have been caught, we still have to investigate how much information they have stolen and whether they have gone online or offline. But let's tell grandpa first. It doesn't matter if we come up with names later. Ping An and Ji Xiang will be the nicknames of these two boys."
Gu Qinghan remembered that there were still a lot of stalls in Beijing, and there was indeed a lot of things to do.
Although Commander Lu did not have to go on missions with them, his daily schedule was full of meetings with his superiors and subordinates. Sometimes he could take a nap for an hour or two, but Commander Lu still had to hold various meetings and read various materials.
Wen Nuan glanced at him: "You just don't want to remember."
Gu Qinghan touched his nose guiltily and smiled: "Then I will call grandpa tomorrow."
Thinking of this, Wen Nuan waved to Gu Qinghan, motioning the man to sit over.
"Qinghan, I have something to discuss with you."
Gu Qinghan picked up an apple, peeled it, and sat down on the chair beside the bed, saying, "Wife, you decide on all matters at home, big or small. I support you unconditionally."
In fact, warmth is the master of all matters big and small at home.
However, Wen Nuan still respects his opinion and always asks for his opinion first.
Wen Nuan looked at Gu Qinghan and suddenly found it difficult to speak.
But when I think about how good grandpa was to them, and how he would send them supplies and money every few months, the old man was really caring.
Gu Qinghan looked at Wen Nuan's hesitant expression, handed her the peeled apple, and asked, "Is there something difficult to decide?"
Wen Nuan took a small bite of the apple and nodded: "Yeah."
Gu Qinghan raised his eyebrows: "Is it harder than naming it?"
He smiled, as if he saw through Wen Nuan's thoughts, and said directly: "Wife, if it's about the children, you can make the full decision; as for other things at home, you don't need to ask me at all."
Wen Nuan was a little conflicted, as this matter concerned Gu Qinghan's "dignity". Although she didn't think so, many men in this era would not be able to accept it.
Under Gu Qinghan's expectant gaze, Wen Nuan organized her words and asked, "What do you think? Should we let one of the children take Grandpa's surname? Let him take the surname Lu?"
