He Jinxuan anxiously waits for Xinyan to finish giving birth. She is brought out and he immediately carries her to the ward, where their parents and aunts are waiting. The newborns are introduced, and everyone discusses who they resemble. Suddenly, Gu Yize and Xu Rulan arrive, and Xu Rulan goes into labor right there in the ward. She gives birth to a son and, due to lack of space, is placed in Xinyan's ward. The next day, Shen Guqing also visits, admiring the babies and pondering her own unborn child.

Xinyan looked at her senior: "Senior, you’re still going to work these days?"

Shen Guqing laughed. "Yeah, I haven’t taken any leave at all, but I haven’t been doing surgeries lately. Anyway, I have to deliver at the hospital. If I happen to go into labor while I’m on shift, it’ll actually be more convenient."

When she finished, she burst out laughing.

Maybe she laughed a little too hard, because her expression suddenly changed. "Brother Shan, my stomach hurts."

Zhang Yueshan hurriedly pulled her into his arms. "Is it time? Are you about to give birth?"

Shen Guqing nodded. "Looks like all our previous arrangements were for nothing."

Just then the director of Obstetrics and Gynecology happened to walk in. "Hey, Gu Qing, what are you doing here?"

Shen Guqing held back the pain and joked, "Didn’t I come to defect to your side?"

At first the director didn’t react, but when she saw the strained look on Shen Guqing’s face, she immediately caught on. "Don’t tell me you’re in labor?"

Waves of contraction-like pain hit Shen Guqing’s belly. "I’ve really walked right into the trap this time, delivered myself straight into your hands."

The director clearly also remembered those jokes from their school days and hadn’t expected them to actually come true. "My honor. Don’t worry, leave it to me."

She stepped forward to examine her, then turned and instructed the nurse behind her, "Get the delivery room ready."

Those words stunned everyone. Her stomach had just started hurting and they were already sending her to the delivery room?

Seeing the nurses behind her not moving, the director raised her voice. "What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and get ready."

Shen Guqing’s due date was these few days to begin with, and she’d never taken time off to rest. Today she’d also walked a long way. It might also be related to her constitution, and she was already seven centimeters dilated.

Some people really do progress that fast. Once everything was arranged, Zhang Yueshan carried her into the delivery room, and just over an hour later, the baby was born. "Family of Shen Guqing."

Zhang Yueshan’s emergency reflex kicked in and he shouted, "Here."

The nurse had probably seen all kinds of first-time dads. Smiling, she placed the swaddled baby into the arms of the visibly excited Granny Zhang. "Six jin three liang, mother and son are both doing well."

Once Zhang Yueshan came back to his senses, the first thing he asked was, "How’s my wife?"

"She’s great, she’ll be out in a little while."

Because beds were tight, after Shen Guqing came out, she was also sent to Xinyan’s ward, and things finally got really lively.

Now that she had a grandson, Granny Zhang felt that everything in life was perfect. Smiling, she shared her experience with Grandma Gu, and finally said with a laugh, "It’s a good thing we have you. Otherwise, after giving birth, we wouldn’t even have brought clothes or a blanket for the baby."

Grandma Gu laughed. "Don’t you be polite with me about something like this. I prepared plenty. No need to make Yueshan run another trip."

Granny Zhang knew that refusing would only make it awkward, so she said with a smile, "Then we’ll happily take advantage this time."

Grandma Gu looked at her granddaughter, then at Granny Zhang, and said with a smile, "This is fate between four generations. The bond runs deep."

After that, everyone agreed to hold the full-month banquet together, feeling it would be really meaningful.

For a while, the whole ward was filled with laughter and joy.

When He Jiefang picked up the call from He Jinxuan, he said, "What did you say?"

His voice was so loud it gave the people in the workshop office a fright. "Our sister-in-law really had triplets?"

As soon as he hung up, after a moment of daze, before anyone could ask, he said with unrestrained delight, "That was my third brother calling to share the good news. His wife just gave him triplets—two boys and one girl."

The smug look on his face made the few people sitting in the workshop office itch with envy.

Then he couldn’t be bothered with anything else. "Director, I’m taking two hours off. I have to run home and tell the family the news first."

Before the director could respond, he’d already bolted.
