Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1371: A Flurry of Chaos

Not seeing Xinyan, He Jinxuan felt uneasy.

He peered through the crack in the door, his posture constantly shifting, sometimes up, sometimes down, sometimes sticking his butt out, amusing Han Jingchen and Gu Wanqing who were worried about their daughter.

Gu Jingchen could completely understand his son-in-law’s current mood, but it was Gu Wanqing who couldn’t stand it anymore: "Jinxuan, don’t worry, she should be coming out soon."

He Jinxuan didn’t care anymore about how his father-in-law and mother-in-law saw him, as long as he couldn’t see his wife, he wouldn’t relax.

He had just stood up straight, ready to speak, when the delivery room door opened from inside: "Family of Han Xinyan, please come in to assist."

He Jinxuan hurriedly followed the nurse inside, seeing Xinyan looking a bit pale, supported by the nurse as she sat up. He stepped forward in a few strides: "Wife, you’ve worked hard."

As he spoke, his eyes also became red.

Xinyan looked at him like this and gave him a slight smile: "I’m alright, where are the children?"

He Jinxuan held Xinyan’s hand: "They were taken to the ward by grandpa, grandma, the elder aunt, and aunt to settle down."

The nurse beside said: "You can take her back to the ward now."

The nurse was about to say something else when she saw He Jinxuan give a princess carry and lifted her up: "Mom and dad are still waiting outside, don’t let them wait too long."

As soon as He Jinxuan came out carrying her, Han Jingchen and Gu Wanqing eagerly closed in: "Yanyan."

Xinyan didn’t want them to worry: "Mom, dad, I’m fine."

Before Gu Wanqing could say anything, Han Jingchen spoke first: "My daughter has suffered, hurry up, let’s go back to the ward."

His expressions of heartache made the few nurses standing nearby envious.

As soon as they entered the ward, the elder aunt quickly came up: "Hurry, hurry, we’ve already made the bed."

The old couple of the Gu family, who were with a few little ones, quickly gathered around their granddaughter: "Yanyan, are you alright?"

Xinyan felt warm inside looking at everyone gathered around: "Don’t worry everyone, I’m alright."

After saying that, she looked towards the children.

He Jinxuan immediately got the hint and picked up the nearest one, ready to say something, just that he couldn’t figure out which one this was, so he looked towards Aunt Han Chunxue.

Han Chunxue was amused by his expression and picked up the little baby nearest to her: "You are holding the eldest, I am holding the second."

Pointing to the one just picked up by Gu Wanqing: "Your mom is holding the youngest."

Seeing the child brought close to her, tears suddenly welled up in Xinyan’s eyes. She now had people in this world connected by blood: "The eldest looks like Jinxuan, the second I feel looks like Junjun."

As soon as she said this, everyone responded: "You’re not wrong, the second indeed looks a lot like his younger uncle."

Xinyan turned to look at the youngest daughter, just as He Jinxuan said: "Our daughter looks like you, very beautiful."

Grandpa Gu chuckled: "These little buddies sure know how to grow."

As everyone was talking, footsteps were heard coming down the hallway: "Is it this room?"

"The nurse just mentioned this room."

Grandma Gu was the first to recognize the voice and hurried to the ward door to welcome them: "Why don’t you stay at home, what are you doing here?"

Gu Yize looked helpless: "Rulan said it’s good to move around more, I couldn’t stop her."

Xu Rulan entered with a smile: "I heard from the nurse that Yanyan had two sons and a daughter, I’m really envious, let me take in some good fortune."

Seeing the kids held in everyone’s arms: "So cute."

Han Chunxue handed the second child she was holding to her: "This is the second, don’t you always say Junjun looks good? This one looks the most like him, hold him and take in some good fortune."

Xu Rulan’s eyes sparkled: "I also really want to have twins, a boy and a girl."

Gu Yize behind her, looking affectionate: "No matter boy or girl, we’ll have just one, please don’t put me through more."

Xu Rulan, being older, had pregnancy reactions not early like others; she rather did well mid-to-late term, worried Gu Yize deeply, seeing her feel unwell saddened him quite a bit.

Grandma Gu was afraid she would become tired, so she took back the little one from her arms not long after: "Your due date is these few days, and you’re still running around, really worrying."

Xu Rulan flippantly responded: "What’s to fear? I’ll give birth here if there’s any signal, and everything needed is always left in the car."

Saying that, she attempted to reach for the youngest in Gu Wanqing’s arms, but as she stretched out, her belly started to hurt.

Always attentive, Gu Yize said: "Rulan, what’s wrong with you?"

Xu Rulan holding her belly: "I seem to be going into labor."

Gu Yize was becoming a parent for the first time, inexperienced and frightened, he immediately went to the door: "Doctor, doctor, hurry, my wife is going into labor."

His shout puzzled some nurses, wasn’t the occupant in the ward just postpartum, how could there be another labor?

When they rushed over and saw, it turned out there was another expectant mother in the ward.

Amidst chaos, Xu Rulan was taken to the delivery room. Luckily, she gave birth to a five-pound-three-ounce baby boy in three hours.

Due to the impromptu delivery and temporary lack of other bed spaces in the delivery area, she went to stay in Xinyan’s ward.

Perhaps due to her advanced age, Xu Rulan stayed in a deep sleep until the aroma of chicken soup brought by the Gu family’s maid woke her: "Smells so good."

Though Xinyan had also consistently helped her maintain a good condition, previous sufferings added, and her advanced age making for difficult childbirth, milk hadn’t yet come in by the next morning.

In contrast, Xinyan, with her abundance of milk, just right for the four, once again stirring Xu Rulan’s envy.

Shen Guqing didn’t hear of the news until evening, initially wanted to come by but felt it too late and worrying given her own pregnancy, Granny Zhang couldn’t rest assured.

Advice heeded, she hurriedly arrived early next morning greeting Xinyan and Xu Rulan upon entering, immediately approaching the little ones: "Oh, I never thought that mine would be the smallest."

Looking at the four lined together, Shen Guqing couldn’t help her nurturing spirit, cuddling one and pinching another, she found it hard to tear her gaze away, saying to Zhang Yueshan near her: "Brother Shan, do you think my belly’s carrying a boy or a girl?"

Zhang Yueshan smiled genuinely: "I like both boys and girls."

Shen Guqing really wished to have a boy, not that she favored sons over daughters, it was just the Zhang family had only Zhang Yueshan left, she wanted to bear a son to fulfill her mother-in-law’s heart’s desire.

After the recent implementation of the family planning policy, she and Zhang Yueshan couldn’t have another child. A girl she’d love equally but perhaps with slight disappointment.
