Chapter 300 Xi Ningzhi's Production
February finally arrived amidst the tense atmosphere within the Xiao family.
The weather cleared up that day, and the women of the Xiao family gathered in the outer hall of Xi Ningzhi's courtyard.
From inside the bedroom came Aunt Xiao's anxious voice and Xi Ningzhi's painful cries.
Xiao Siyue was extremely anxious. Nowadays, childbirth depends entirely on oneself, and there is no such thing as a cesarean section. But Xi Ningzhi is carrying two children. When will she be able to give birth smoothly?
Xiao Siyuan was extremely anxious; each cry of pain felt like a sharp awl pounding against his heart.
I felt so sorry for her, I wished I could give birth in Xi Ningzhi's place.
"Zhizhi, Zhizhi, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault. Let's never have any more children, okay? I..."
"Ah!" A painful cry startled Xiao Siyuan so much that he almost sat down on the ground. He couldn't hold back any longer and pushed open the bedroom door, rushing inside.
Xi Ningzhi was covered in sweat on the bed, her hands gripping the blanket with bulging veins, her expression one of extreme pain.
Watching the maid carry out basin after basin of bloody water, this man who had once fought on the battlefield could no longer hold back his tears.
"Zhizhi." Xiao Siyuan's voice choked as he squatted down by the bed, holding Xi Ningzhi's hand, trying to give her some strength.
Xi Ningzhi wanted to give Xiao Siyuan a smile, but the pain in her lower body was too intense, and she had no strength left.
"Zhizhi, hold my hand, don't hurt yourself."
"Ah." Xi Ningzhi no longer cared about Xiao Siyuan. She used all her strength and felt something slide out from under her. She was so angry that she stopped and almost fainted.
"It's born! One's out! Third Young Madam, please don't fall asleep, just hold on a little longer, there's another one." The midwife excitedly picked up the baby and said to Xi Ningzhi. She knew Xi Ningzhi was very tired, but if she really fainted, all her efforts would be in vain, and the baby in her belly would suffocate.
"Hmm." Xi Ningzhi breathed a sigh of relief, then mustered her strength and pushed again. The second child was born much faster and was delivered in no time.
"They're out, they're out." Everyone wiped the sweat from their foreheads and breathed a sigh of relief.
Xi Ningzhi fainted before she could even see the baby after hearing that it had been born.
"Zhizhi, Zhizhi." Xiao Siyuan was startled.
"Siyuan, stop shouting. Ningzhi is exhausted. Let her rest." Aunt Xiao said quickly, seeing her son's anxious and frightened expression.
Those outside could also hear the sounds coming from inside, and Xiao Siyue breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully she was safe and sound.
Xiao Sibo and Jiang Yan, a young couple who had only recently gotten married, were terrified and felt a chill run down their spines.
"Yan Yan, childbirth is too scary. Let's not have it. I don't want you to suffer like this," Xiao Sibo said worriedly. He was really afraid that something might happen to Yan Yan.
It's good not to have children; it's enough that the two of them can stay together until they grow old.
Jiang Yan was also quite frightened, but hearing Xiao Sibao's words warmed her heart. No matter when, being childless is an unacceptable thing, but Xiao Sibao was willing to choose not to have children because he was afraid of suffering. How could she not be moved?
"Let's just let nature take its course, okay? If we're destined to have a child, then let's not stop it from coming." She was afraid but not cowardly. If she really had a child, she would give birth to it safely.
Seeing the tender look in Jiang Yan's eyes, Xiao Sibao nodded and said, "Okay."
The people inside had already wrapped the child up.
"Madam, Third Young Master, look how adorable these two children are!" The midwife smiled as she placed one of the children into Aunt Xiao's arms.
"Madam, the one in your arms is the older brother, and the one in mine is the younger sister." The two children were wrapped in identical blankets, and they looked exactly alike, so it was really hard to tell which one was the boy and which one was the girl.
Upon hearing the word "sister," Xiao Siyuan, who had been watching over Xi Ningzhi, immediately turned his attention to the child.
"Daughter? Mother, I have a daughter."
"Yes, I have a granddaughter now, and there's a girl in this generation too." Aunt Xiao was very happy. She already had two grandsons, and now she dotes on this granddaughter.
Xiao Siyuan was thrilled. He liked girls, especially girls who would grow up to look like Zhizhi.
Xiao Siyuan awkwardly hugged his daughter into his arms. Looking at his soft and cuddly daughter, his heart softened. This was his and Zhizhi's daughter.
Aunt Xiao looked at her son staring at his granddaughter like a fool and said, "Son, I know you like daughters, but sons are yours too. You can't be biased, or the child will be sad."
"Mother, I know." He just had a daughter and was overjoyed at the moment. It's not that he didn't love his son. They were all his children, born with great difficulty by Zhizhi. How could he not love them?
While the two were talking, the maid had already cleaned up the room, but the smell of blood lingered for a while.
"Alright, everyone's waiting outside. I'll take the baby out first."
The people outside were getting increasingly anxious. Why hadn't she come out yet? Hadn't she already given birth?
The two carried the child out, and the others immediately swarmed around them.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, you've given birth. How is Ningzhi?" Old Mrs. Xiao asked with concern.
"Mother, Ningzhi is fine, and the baby was born safely," Aunt Xiao replied with a bright smile.
"That's good." Old Mrs. Xiao had given birth to twins before, but she had already had several children by the time she had twins. Xi Ningzhi's first child was the most difficult for a woman to give birth to, and she was extremely worried.
"Sister-in-law, are the two children boys or girls?" Aunt Xiao asked curiously, looking at the two children who were wrapped up tightly.
“They are twins, a boy and a girl.” Uncle Xiao said with great pride.
"Twins! That's a girl, and that's a boy." Everyone's eyes lit up instantly.
"Guess?" Aunt Xiao kept everyone in suspense.
"Hmm, this one looks like a boy to me, while Siyuan is holding a girl," Aunt Xiao said after taking a closer look.
"Second sister-in-law, you guessed right. I couldn't tell the difference at first either."
“The boy looks a bit older than the girl,” said Old Mrs. Xiao.
"Yes, but these two children look so alike that it's really hard to tell them apart at first glance," Lin Qin said after looking at them for a while.
"They're still young. The difference will be huge when they grow up. The third son and your sister were like that too." Xiao Qinian and Xiao Qirong were also twins, so Old Mrs. Xiao had experience.
"Yes, that's right. Look at my third brother and little sister, you can't tell at all that they're twins." There are still quite a few differences between men and women, plus their different clothes and appearances, so even if they look the same, it's easy to tell them apart.
However, if both are boys or girls and they wear the same clothes, it may be difficult to tell them apart.
