Chapter 1513: Seems the Rumors Were True

As it turned out, Xiao Guo was quick enough; the moment they arrived at the ward, he was already at the nurses' station with the payment slip, so there was no need to owe anyone a favor.

However, Head Nurse Gu still walked over upon seeing them: "What is this?"

But after seeing the number of swaddled bundles they were holding, she exclaimed: "Could it be that the Deputy Regiment Commander's wife has given birth?"

Since Auntie Wei did not know Head Nurse Gu, she did not speak up.

Tao Saozi smiled and replied: "You can tell, right? She went into labor around noon; from start to finish, it took only two hours. Don't you find that enviable?"

Head Nurse Gu froze: "Two hours?"

Seeing her expression, Tao Saozi laughed outright: "Indeed, and that's counting from the moment she first felt the signs at home."

Hearing this, Head Nurse Gu clicked her tongue: "I've worked in obstetrics for so long, and to be honest, this is truly the first time I've seen childbirth happen so fast."

Xiao Guo handed over the slip: "Head Nurse Gu, please arrange a ward first; our Deputy Regiment Commander should be bringing his wife over shortly."

Head Nurse Gu turned to the nurse inside: "This is the hospital's first triplets delivery. The Deputy Regiment Commander's family has many children; arrange a quiet ward for them."

The young nurse, understanding perfectly, said: "Understood, arranging it immediately."

Fortunately, a triple-bed room had just become vacant, and the young nurse assigned them directly to it.

Head Nurse Gu even personally escorted them to the ward, settled everything, and only then left.

Seeing the ward arranged, Xiao Guo said his goodbyes and hurried off toward the cafeteria.

At this hour, not many people were in the cafeteria, but seeing that the food windows only had leftovers remained, he wore a worried expression until someone called out: "Xiao Guo, it's this late, why are you at the cafeteria?"

Xiao Guo turned and saw it was Mother Qiao Yunhai, who had been injured on a mission a few days ago: "Auntie Qiao, the Deputy Regiment Commander's wife just gave birth; I came to get some porridge, and I was just worrying about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Auntie Qiao smiled: "Oh, what a coincidence! I have porridge; I'll share some with you. Besides, I added red dates to this porridge. Since the Deputy Regiment Commander's wife just gave birth, drinking this is perfect."

Xiao Guo did not expect such good fortune: "Auntie Qiao, why are you cooking porridge at this hour?"

Her son had woken up, and the doctor said his internal organs were unharmed; with proper rest for a while, he would recover. She was always optimistic and positive: "Yunhai's injuries were not light this time. The doctor said he can only eat liquid food for now. Seeing that he fell asleep around noon, I calculated the time and came down to cook this porridge."

Xiao Guo walked a few steps with her, then slapped his forehead: "Auntie, I borrowed a lunchbox from the cafeteria; I'll be right back."

Auntie Qiao waved her hand: "Go ahead, go ahead. Borrow some hot water from them to scald and wash the lunchbox; after all, a woman is very weak right after giving birth, so it's better to be careful."

Thinking that Auntie Qiao was experienced and not afraid of trouble, Xiao Guo ran to borrow boiling water, scalded and washed the lunchbox and spoon he had borrowed from the cafeteria with the boiling water, and only then ran to find Auntie Qiao.

Fortunately, Auntie Qiao had worried that her son would not get full on liquid food alone, so she had cooked a large quantity; even after giving away one lunchbox, plenty remained.

After thanking her, Xiao Guo hurried back toward the ward.

Meanwhile, Fu Yan Cheng had also picked up Liu Chuxue; the moment he saw his wife come out, his eyes reddened with heartache: "Wife, you've worked so hard."

The doctors and nurses responsible for escorting her out, seeing Fu Yan Cheng's reaction, were all deeply envious; it seemed the rumors were true, and the Deputy Regiment Commander truly dotes on his wife.
