I couldn't take it anymore; when I went home for Chinese New Year, the family genealogy book ha

"Director Liu! How is my wife?!"

Jiang Chen rushed to the crack in the door and grabbed the door frame with his big hand!

"Mother and baby are safe! We're still doing final cleaning and cutting the umbilical cord! Mr. Jiang, please wait a few more minutes!"

Director Liu answered excitedly and loudly, then turned around and closed the door tightly.

Jiang Chen's heart, which had been hanging in mid-air, finally settled down a bit.

The sky gradually brightened.

The first rays of sunlight pierced through the thick clouds and shone on the glass curtain wall of the Changsheng Hospital building.

The air in the corridor was incredibly stuffy.

Jiang Chen paced back and forth in the corridor, his leather shoes making a rapid clattering sound on the floor tiles.

He walked to the wall and unconsciously picked at the plaster with his fingers, scraping off chunks of white plaster.

"Brother Chen, stop spinning me, you're making this old man dizzy."

Old Master Jiang Wanshan, leaning on his cane, sat on a bench in the corridor and spoke loudly.

The old man tried to appear calm, but his hands were actually trembling as he gripped his solid wood cane.

The cane tapped softly on the ground.

"Great-Grandpa, I can't control my legs! These few minutes have felt longer than the rest of my life!"

Jiang Chen shouted loudly.

Wang Dagou stood to the side, sweat dripping down his neck from his bald head.

"Brother Chen, you're covered in sweat. It must be more tiring than fighting with a knife!"

Wang Dagou chimed in with his hoarse voice.

Li Qiang raised his leg and kicked Wang Dagou in the buttocks.

"Shut your filthy mouth! Is childbirth like fighting?!"

Li Qiang glared and cursed.

Li Qiang turned to look at Jiang Chen.

"Brother Chen! All the armored trucks are in contact!"

Li Qiang loudly reported into the walkie-talkie.

Jiang Chen stopped in his tracks.

"How many vehicles did you call?"

Jiang Chen's voice was hoarse.

"Ten heavy-duty bulletproof armored trucks! Directly transferring cash from the provincial capital's bank vault!"

I've already distributed the village roster. As long as your sister-in-law and child come out, just count the money downstairs at the hospital!

"Great! As long as the mother and child are released, each of them will receive 100,000 yuan, in consecutive serial numbers, delivered directly to them!"

Jiang Chen gritted his teeth and gave the order.

Li Qiang stood up straight.

Just then, the walkie-talkie in Li Qiang's hand emitted a hissing sound.

"Brother Qiang! Brother Qiang! Can you hear me!"

Jiang Shitou's hoarse voice boomed from the walkie-talkie.

Li Qiang pressed the call button.

"Stone, what are you yelling about! The hospital needs quiet!"

Li Qiang roared.

"Brother Qiang! All those kids in the village have gone mad!"

Thousands of people, without even having breakfast, are gathered in the ancestral hall square waiting for news!

Jiang Shitou shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Don't worry, everyone! The top experts in the provincial capital are inside to protect your wife!"

Li Qiang loudly reassured him.

"We even set out firecrackers! Ten whole truckloads were filled!"

"We're just waiting for Brother Chen to say the word, and we'll tear a hole right through the sky in Nanjiang Province!"

Jiang Shitou shouted excitedly.

"Have Uncle Youfu heat up the pot for the banquet! We need to be ready to start at any time!"

Jiang Chen snatched the walkie-talkie and gave the order.

"Understood, Brother Chen! Uncle Youfu has already slaughtered ten black-haired pigs!"

A deafening cheer erupted from the other end of the walkie-talkie.

The corridor fell silent again for a brief moment.

Everyone stared at the white operating room door.

Jiang Chen even held his breath.

Wow! Wow!

Two loud, powerful cries of a newborn baby pierced through the heavy doors of the operating room and echoed down the corridor!

The voice was clear and resonant, with an astonishingly strong presence!

The entire corridor was deathly silent.

Immediately afterwards, a thunderous cheer erupted!

"It's born! It's born!"

Wang Dagou jumped three feet high with excitement, opened his arms, and hugged Li Qiang tightly.

Li Qiang was so choked that his eyes rolled back, and he slapped Wang Dagou's bald head hard with both hands.

"Thank God! Judging by that voice, he's definitely a super fit kid!"

Li Qiang burst into loud laughter.

Jiang Chen stood there, his legs went weak, and he leaned against the wall of the corridor, panting heavily.

Old Master Jiang Wanshan burst into tears on the spot.

He abruptly shook off Jiang Mancang's hand, which was supporting him.

Plop!

The old man slammed his knees hard against the floor tiles and knelt down in the direction of the Jiangjia Village Ancestral Hall.

"May our ancestors bless us! Our Jiang family has an heir! What a joyous occasion!"

The old man clasped his hands together and spoke in a loud, booming voice that made everyone's ears ring in the corridor.

"Great-Grandpa! The floor tiles are cold! Get up quickly!"

Jiang Mancang was so frightened that he quickly grabbed the old man's arm.

"Don't touch me! I need to kowtow to the ancestors of the Jiang family three times!"

The old man stubbornly pressed down on the floor tiles.

boom! boom! boom!

The old man kowtowed three times on the ground, leaving red marks all over his forehead.

"Count me in! I'll personally contribute another five million! I'll cover the cost of this banquet!"

The old man stood up, leaning on his cane, and roared with boundless pride.

Click.

The operating room doors were pushed open completely.

The head nurse, beaming with joy, strode out.

Congratulations, Mr. Jiang! Mother and baby are safe and sound! Auspicious twins, a boy and a girl!

The head nurse loudly informed Jiang Chen, her voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.

The corridor erupted in chaos once again.

"Good heavens! Twins! A boy and a girl! We have both!"

Wang Dagou was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head.

"This is an auspicious omen from heaven! Brother Chen's good fortune is unparalleled in the entire province!"

Li Qiang was so excited that he kept slapping his thigh.

Jiang Chen didn't even hear what the head nurse was saying next.

He pushed open the door and rushed into the operating room!

A strong smell of disinfectant wafted over.

Doctors and nurses are packing up surgical instruments.

Two babies wrapped in blankets were laid flat in an incubator, and a nurse was checking their vital signs.

Jiang Chen didn't care about the two children at all.

He didn't even glance at the incubator, and went straight to the operating table.

Su Qing was covered in sweat, her once rosy complexion had turned pale, and she lay weakly on the operating table.

Jiang Chen knelt on one knee on the cold floor tiles, his hands tightly gripping Su Qing's small hand, which was covered in cold sweat.

He buried his head in Su Qing's hands, kissing her cold fingertips haphazardly.

"Wife, you've suffered so much."

Jiang Chen's voice was terribly hoarse, and his eyes were red-rimmed.

Su Qing gave a weary smile and grasped Jiang Chen's large hand in return.

"It's not painful. The expert you invited is really amazing; the anesthesia he gave me didn't hurt at all."

I even feel like I just took a nap.

Director Liu, who was standing nearby, took off his sterile mask and walked over with a look of amazement on his face.

"Mr. Jiang, we've worked in obstetrics and gynecology in the provincial capital for thirty years, and this is the first time we've seen such a smooth precipitous delivery!"

Director Liu pointed to the data on various instruments and equipment.

"Your wife's physical condition is simply a miracle! She experienced very little pain throughout the entire process, had abundant energy, and both baby positions were the most favorable!"

Jiang Chen stood up from the ground and turned to look at the group of provincial capital experts who were covered in sweat.

"Director Liu, thank you all for your hard work."

"I always keep my word!"

Tomorrow morning, the full construction funds for the two top-tier medical laboratory buildings will be directly transferred to your hospital's official account!

Jiang Chen arrogantly made his promise.

After hearing this, Director Liu was so moved that he bowed repeatedly.

"Thank you, General Jiang! Thank you so much, General Jiang, for your strong support of our province's medical development!"

The experts all expressed their gratitude.

Jiang Chen waved his hand and sat back down beside Su Qing's bed.

"Honey, what do you want to eat? I'll have Uncle Youfu make it for you right away! He's even slaughtered ten pigs!"

Jiang Chen gently stroked Su Qing's sweaty hair.

Su Qing pursed her lips, her gaze passing over Jiang Chen's shoulder, pointing to the incubator not far away.

"Jiang Chen, forget about the doctor and Uncle Youfu, go check on those two little ones."

Su Qing smiled weakly.

"What little thing?"

Jiang Chen asked, puzzled.

"Go and see our child, he's so ugly."

Their skin was wrinkled and they looked like two little monkeys that hadn't fully grown.

Su Qing nudged Jiang Chen's arm.
