Transmigrating into a Book in the 80s: After Giving Up, I Was Pampered by a Rough Man

The second cry was more delicate than the first, yet equally powerful.

Everyone in the corridor was stunned for a moment.

Lu Ansheng had just shouted "It's born!" with her fist still clenched in mid-air.

Upon hearing the second sound, he froze completely.

"elder brother……"

"There really are two."

Lu Ting stood in front of the delivery room, his back stiff.

He wanted to respond, but his throat felt blocked, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Zhao Jianguo heard it too.

Even the secretary, who had handled major events before, couldn't hide his joy at this moment.

"Both twins were born safely."

"Xiao Lu, this is great news! This is fantastic news!"

Lu Ting did not move.

His hand was still pressed against the door of the delivery room, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.

The sound of nurses moving around could be heard from inside the door.

Someone shouted, "Hot water!"

Someone else shouted, "Wrap it up!"

Then Director Wen gave instructions in a low voice: "The placenta is intact. Pay attention to the amount of bleeding from the mother. First, clean both babies."

Lu Ting heard every single word clearly.

Because he heard it so clearly, he became even more unsteady on his feet.

Lu Ansheng muttered under his breath, "Why isn't the door open yet..."

Zhao Jianguo glared at him.

"Don't rush us, they're busy inside."

Lu Ansheng immediately shut up and stood obediently against the wall.

A few minutes later, the green double door finally opened a crack from the inside.

A young nurse came out carrying a swaddled baby.

The swaddling clothes were made of white cotton cloth prepared in advance by the hospital, and the baby was also wrapped in a soft fleece blanket that Jiang Mian herself brought.

The baby was a tiny bundle, and his crying had subsided somewhat; he was moving his little mouth with a scrunched-up expression.

The nurse looked at Lu Ting with a genuine smile.

"Congratulations! The older one is a boy, weighing 5.8 pounds."

Lu Ting looked down at the little thing, his hand halfway outstretched, then stopped.

He looked at the nurse with a nervous expression. "Doctor, what about Mianmian? How is she?"

The nurse, who was waiting for him to pick up the child, smiled upon hearing this and said, "Don't worry, comrade, both mother and child are safe and sound."

Hearing this, Lu Ting finally felt relieved.

He lowered his head.

These hands, capable of carrying guns, hunting, making haute couture gowns, and carving two sandalwood cribs in one night, were now trembling slightly.

He clenched his fists twice, his fingernails digging into his flesh until it hurt, before he could barely steady his hands.

"How... should I hold you?"

The nurse was amused by his appearance.

"Support the neck, then the bottom, and whatever you do, don't pinch the child."

Following her instructions, Lu Ting slowly took the child from her.

The moment she was in his arms, he froze.

It's too light.

He was so quiet that he didn't even dare to breathe heavily.

The boy nestled in his arms and let out a soft whimper like a kitten.

Lu Ting glanced down and his Adam's apple bobbed.

"How come he's so small?"

The nurse was amused.

"Five pounds and eight ounces is already quite large; it's considered very good for twins."

Lu Ansheng leaned closer to take a look.

He had just peeked over when Lu Ting blocked him with his arm.

"Don't get too close."

Lu Ansheng took a half step back, feeling wronged.

"Brother, I'll just take a look."

Lu Ting ignored him.

He looked down at the child in his arms, still reeling from the shock of the soft, squishy creature.

The delivery room door opened again.

A second nurse came out carrying another swaddled baby.

"Xiao Bao is a girl, weighing five pounds and six ounces."

The nurse smiled even more broadly.

Congratulations! Now you have a son and a daughter, making a perfect family!

Zhao Jianguo slapped his thigh on the spot.

"good!"

"Auspicious dragon and phoenix!"

"This is truly a blessing for our Tomato County!"

Lu Tinggang held his older brother securely, and then the second swaddled baby was brought to him by the nurse.

The nurse originally intended to hand it to Zhao Jianguo or Lu Ansheng first.

Lu Ting raised his other hand, his voice hoarse.

"Give me."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jianguo quickly stepped forward, placing his hands protectively to the side.

"Xiao Lu, are you sure you can manage on your own?"

The nurse didn't let go immediately; she first helped him stabilize his arm.

Lu Ting remained silent.

He took the girl from her in the same position as before.

Two swaddled babies fell into his arms, one on each side.

Now, he was completely too scared to move.

The boy had his eyes closed, his little face all scrunched up.

The little girl was more curious than her brother, her mouth moving slightly, occasionally opening her eyes to look around, and one of her little hands even poked out from under the blanket.

As Lu Ting watched, his legs began to feel weak.

Zhao Jianguo grabbed his arm first and pressed him down onto a chair next to him.

"Sit down and hug me, don't try to be strong."

This time, Lu Ting did not refute.

He slowly sat down, the two children still nestled firmly in his arms.

Lu Ansheng was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe for a long time.

"elder brother……"

Zhao Jianguo was amused by his possessive attitude towards food.

"I'll hug one of them, that'll do."

Lu Ting immediately stepped aside to avoid it.

"Need not."

Zhao Jianguo was both annoyed and amused.

"Nobody's going to take it from you."

"What, would I, a county party secretary, possibly rob your child?"

Lu Ansheng added quietly from the side, "Uncle Zhao, you can't beat my brother."

Zhao Jianguo turned his head and glared at him.

Lu Ansheng immediately shut his mouth.

The tense atmosphere in the corridor, which had been building for hours, was eased somewhat by those words.

Xiao Qin stood behind, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Secretary Zhao, should I call the county party committee office first? Many comrades are worried about Sister Jiang's condition."

Zhao Jianguo waved his hand.

"Wait a minute, let's wait for Director Wen to come out and confirm Xiao Jiang's condition before we talk about it."

The delivery room door opened again as soon as the words were spoken.

Director Wen took off his mask and came out, his forehead covered in sweat.

Lu Ting, holding the two children, suddenly looked up.

"Doctor, how is Mianmian?"

That was asked too hastily.

Director Wen didn't beat around the bush, "Don't be nervous, the mother is safe."

"The delivery went smoothly, the bleeding was normal, and she was conscious. She will be wheeled out soon."

Lu Ting stood still.

He seemed not to have heard the whole thing and asked again.

"Safety?"

Director Wen nodded with a smile.

"Mother and child are both safe."

Hearing Director Wen say these words in person, Lu Ting's last bit of strength finally dissipated.

His knees bent down.

Lu Ansheng reacted the fastest, rushing over to support his back.

"elder brother!"

Zhao Jianguo quickly supported his arm.

"You little rascal!"

"The baby's just been born, and you, the father, are already having trembling legs?"

Lu Ting leaned back in his chair, his arms still steadily supporting the two swaddled babies.

He glanced down at the baby, then looked up at the door of the delivery room.

"I'm fine."

Lu Ansheng's voice changed from anxiety.

"You call this nothing? Your face is pale!"

Director Wen also looked at him.

"Family members should sit still and avoid dropping the child while holding them."

Lu Ting pursed his lips and slowly steadied himself against the wall.

When he sat down, he first protected the two children before adjusting his own posture.

The movement was so subtle that even the nurse couldn't help but take a second look.

Not long after, the delivery room door was pushed open completely.

The stretcher was pushed out by a nurse.

Jiang Mian lay there, her face pale, her hair damp with sweat, but she was awake.

The first thing she saw when she came out was Lu Ting sitting by the wall.

A tall man, standing at 1.9 meters, was holding two swaddled babies in his arms, one on each side, leaning against the wall, sitting more properly than a primary school student.

Jiang Mian didn't have much strength to begin with.

Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"husband."

"Mianmian!" Lu Ting immediately stood up.

The nurse quickly reminded her, "Slow down, slow down, the baby is still in your arms."

Lu Ting stopped immediately.

Jiang Mian looked at his flustered appearance and spoke very softly.

"Let me see the baby."

Lu Ting walked quickly to the flatbed cart.

When he got closer, he slowed down.

He first brought his brother close to Jiang Mian's face.

"Mianmian, Dabao is a boy."

Jiang Mian glanced at it.

The little guy's face was wrinkled, his nose was tiny, and his mouth was still moving.

She blinked, her voice weak but still carrying a hint of disdain.

"It's a bit ugly."

Everyone in the corridor chuckled knowingly.

Many mothers have this reaction when they see their baby for the first time.

Lu Ting looked down at his son and actually made a serious comparison.

Jiang Mian then looked at another swaddled baby.

Lu Ting quickly moved the girl closer.

"Xiao Bao is a girl."

Jiang Mian looked at it for two seconds.

As if sensing something, the little girl opened her eyes and looked around with her wrinkled face.

Whether intentionally or by coincidence, a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Mian was barely breathing, yet she happened to witness this scene.

My heart is melting as I become a mother for the first time.

She muttered under her breath, "Ugly like you, good-looking like me."

Zhao Jianguo finally couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

"Little Jiang, you just gave birth, and you still have such a sharp tongue."

Lu Ting wasn't annoyed at all; instead, he responded to her in a low voice.

"Just like me, just like me."

"It will look good once it grows up."

Jiang Mian looked at him, wanting to reach out and touch the child.

But as soon as I moved my fingers, I couldn't muster any strength.

Director Wen quickly stepped forward.

"Take her to a ward first; the new mother needs to rest."

Jiang Mian's eyelids felt extremely heavy.

Upon hearing Director Wen say that she would be taken to a ward, she finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep against the pillow.

When Lu Ting saw her close her eyes, he tensed up again.

"Mianmian?"

Director Wen quickly stopped him.

"That's normal, she's just too tired, she just needs some rest."

Lu Ting then stopped moving, and the stretcher was pushed towards the ward.

Lu Ting followed beside him, carrying the two children, and walked very slowly.

Zhao Jianguo felt both amused and heartbroken watching this.

"Xiao Lu, give one of the babies to the nurse and go hold onto Xiao Jiang's bed."

Lu Ting glanced at Jiang Mian on the flatbed cart, then at the two children in his arms.

He was clearly facing the most difficult choice of his life.

The nurse took the girl from her.

"I'll hold this one, you hold your brother, come with us."

Lu Ting hesitated for a moment.

As soon as the nurse took the little girl from him, he reached out and stood protectively beside her.

The nurse was both amused and exasperated.

"Don't worry, I hold newborns every day."

Lu Ting then withdrew his hand, using his free hand to hold the edge of the flatbed cart.

He looked down at Jiang Mian, then glanced at his son in his arms.

The light at the end of the corridor was bright white.

But for the first time, he felt that the light wasn't so cold anymore.

Lu Ansheng was last.

He was carrying a maternity bag, a kettle, a lunchbox, a change of clothes, and a large bag of diapers.

There were so many things that he kept dropping things after taking a few steps, and he would quickly bend down to pick them up.

Xiao Qin couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she stepped forward and helped him carry half of it.

Lu Ansheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Qin, did my sister-in-law really give birth to twins?"

Xiao Qin chuckled, speechless. "Didn't you see it just now?"

"I saw it." Lu Ansheng grinned.

"It feels like a dream."

Xiao Qin glanced ahead.

Lu Ting held onto the flatbed with one hand and hugged his brother with the other, his eyes never leaving Jiang Mian.
