1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 345 Yes, yes, very good, that's it, keep it up!

Lin Nanxing's question seemed to sink without a trace; Gu Qingye showed no reaction whatsoever. He remained stiff, his eyes fixed on the direction of the delivery room, as if trying to see through the heavy doors and walls to see everything inside.

The woman accompanying the mother was even more nervous than the woman waiting to give birth, and Lin Nanxing didn't know what to say.

"Qingye, you stay here and keep watch. I'll call Youyou's dad."

She patted Gu Qingye on the shoulder, not expecting him to answer, figuring he probably couldn't hear anything anyway.

Gu Qingye didn't hear it clearly, or rather, he heard it but couldn't react to it.

He had never felt this way before. He didn't feel it when he went to the front line, when he was on a mission, or even when his life was hanging by a thread.

But now, he could vaguely hear cries of pain from inside, but he could only wait helplessly outside, unable to do anything but pray to God.

Separated by a wall, Lu Youyou was taking a walk in pain. She had wanted to be an elegant mother, but now that she was in this situation, she realized just how painful the so-called level 10 pain really was.

She thought the pain meant she was about to give birth, but the words "early contractions" brought her back to reality. She could only listen to the doctor, grit her teeth, and get out of bed to continue moving around.

It felt like a thousand-pound weight was hanging from my waist, and my buttocks and thighs ached. My stomach felt like a blender, and I wanted to cry with every step I took.

Lu Youyou didn't know how much time had passed before she finally heard the doctor say that she could have an epidural, and her anger subsided a little.

Painless childbirth technology already existed in China in the 80s, but its adoption rate was so low that it was negligible. However, with Lin Nanxing around, he would definitely arrange for all kinds of advanced technologies to be implemented.

When Lu Youyou first heard the news, she was very relieved. If there had been no pain relief, she would have preferred to have a cesarean section under general anesthesia.

After the epidural, there seemed to be nothing left to do, and Lu Youyou's tense mood eased a lot. She started to listen intently to the doctors and nurses chatting.

Believe it or not, she actually heard quite a bit of gossip about the hospital.

Maybe an hour, maybe two hours later, the nurse finally got up: "Okay, that's about enough. Listen to me and start pushing."

The doctor came over and took a look: "The baby is doing well, and the position is normal, so don't worry, Ms. Lu."

Lu Youyou started sweating again; how could she not be nervous!

"Okay, start taking deep breaths."

"Yes, yes, that's great, keep it up!"

"Hold your breath, hold it for another ten seconds, keep going, keep going... Okay, take a break, adjust yourself and wait for the contractions..."

She continued to exert herself intermittently for twenty minutes, and then Lu Youyou felt a little hot down there.

Is it... about to come out?
The nurse's voice suddenly rose a few decibels: "Get ready to deliver the baby! Hang in there just a little longer!"

To be honest, Lu Youyou was almost out of energy, but upon hearing this, she could only continue to cheer herself up.

With each contraction, I exerted all my strength, and I could barely hold my breath any longer; even the strands of my hair were straining.

The feeling of heat and humidity became more and more pronounced, and suddenly a warm current surged through me, and something flowed out.

"They're out! The first one's out! Take a breath, catch your breath, take a deep breath..."

Lu Youyou couldn't describe how she felt at that moment. She was happy, but for some reason, she also felt like crying.

She was exhausted, but the doctor reached out his hand again.

"One more, keep going, let's try again, hang in there..."

Ten minutes later, the second child was born.

Lu Youyou's mind went blank until the sounds from the outside world returned to her ears. She seemed to hear two cries rising and falling, and she cried along with them.

Two nurses carried the babies over; even with their masks on, you could see their smiling eyes. "Congratulations, Comrade Lu, on the twins! The girl is the older sister, and the boy is the younger brother."

Even if you're in the delivery room every day, twins are still a rare sight. And since the mother is Vice President Lin's only daughter, it's definitely worth saying a few nice things to her.

Lu Youyou only glanced at the baby before being taken away, and the doctor began cleaning the placenta and stitching up the wound.

"It's just a very minor tear; two stitches will help it heal faster."

Lu Youyou didn't feel anything; the pain relief was still in effect. She only knew that a thread was being pulled back and forth.

Exhausted, she collapsed onto the pillow, her eyelids almost glued shut: "Doctor, I'm so sleepy, can I sleep?"

"Okay, if you're tired, you can go to sleep first. We need to observe you for two more hours before you can leave."

Before Lu Youyou could even nod, she was plunged into darkness in an instant.

Outside the delivery room

Gu Qingye stood up as soon as he heard the door open, but stumbled as soon as he took a step. He forced himself to endure the tingling and stinging pain in his legs and went to meet the door.

Are Comrade Lu Youyou's family members here?

Gu Qingye wanted to say yes, but no sound came out of his throat.

Lin Nanxing and Lu Zhiyu, who had just arrived, came over together. The two nurses came out with beaming smiles, each carrying a small blanket.

"Congratulations, Vice Dean Lin, on the twins! The sister weighs five pounds and the brother weighs four pounds eight ounces, and they are both very healthy."

Gu Qingye finally snapped out of his speechless state and, completely ignoring the baby, asked, "How is the mother? Why hasn't she come out yet?"

"How is my daughter?" Lu Zhiyu was also focused on his daughter. Hearing from the nurse that the baby was fine, he was completely absorbed in her.

The two men were both very nervous, while only Lin Nanxing was able to think clearly.

As a doctor, she knew best that no news was good news. She was anxious, but if no one came out to ask her to sign a critical condition notice or surgical consent form, it meant that everything was normal.

"Nurse Lin, is Youyou alright? Should we observe her a little longer before she can come out?"

"Yes, Comrade Lu is asleep now, and everything is normal at the moment."

The nurse was also surprised that none of the three family members paid attention to the children first, and even the rare twins were only glanced at and then forgotten.

Comrade Lu comes from a good family, is so beautiful, and has had two good things happen to her at once. I'm so envious!

"Dean Lin, we'll head back now. The mother should be able to come out in about half an hour."

Gu Qingye instinctively stopped the man: "Comrade, excuse me, may I go in and see her?"

The nurses were stunned. There was more than one pregnant woman in the delivery room. This... this...

Lin Nanxing smiled and said, "It's alright, you guys go in first."

Gu Qingye realized he had asked a stupid question, but he couldn't sit still since he couldn't get in, so he just stood at the door of the delivery room waiting for Lu Youyou to come out.

It was only then that Lu Zhiyu belatedly realized what was happening, and he pulled Lin Nanxing aside and asked, "Did you see that? My daughter's baby is so beautiful!"

Lin Nanxing almost choked: "How come it's just your daughter? So she's your only daughter?!"

Lu Zhiyu patted his wife with a smile: "Well, I'm just so happy, haha, it's our daughter, you deserve all the credit!"
