Chapter 286: Mother and son make a good team, the work isn't tiring

Mother and son make a good team, the work isn't tiring.

In the delivery room, Tushan Jiu rested in the labor ward, conserving her energy.

She hadn't eaten breakfast this morning, and now she feels a bit hungry.

She was just about to ask if she could have something to eat when breakfast was brought in from outside, and they also brought her phone that she had left with Xie Shiyu earlier.

Needless to say, it was definitely prepared by Xie Shiyu.

Since they could send it, it meant she could eat; she hadn't broken her water, so she simply sat cross-legged and started eating breakfast.

She ate while video-chatting with Xie Shiyu, which helped put their minds at ease.

To be frank, compared with many pregnant women, Tushan Jiu's pregnancy wasn't too uncomfortable; aside from her large belly in the later stage making movement inconvenient, her mental state was quite good.

Because she was well taken care of, whether by the Yang-world Xie Family or the Yin-world Tushan Family.

Most of her food during pregnancy was sent up from below as ghostly nourishment, which nourished her body, hence the effect.

She didn't eat much for breakfast, just enough to keep her strength up.

After finishing breakfast, she had dilated another half a finger, and the doctor pushed her toward the anesthesia room for painless delivery.

Throughout, Xie Shiyu's video call never dropped; he kept talking with Tushan Jiu.

Everything was ready, only the east wind was missing.

The two little ones perhaps knew Tushan Jiu was ready, and not long after her water broke.

At the moment her water broke, Tushan Jiu was dazed, her eyes wide open.

What is this......?

Seeing her frightened expression, Xie Shiyu on the other end of the video felt his heart skip, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, wife? Are you in pain again?"

She pressed her lips, shook her head, and said, "It's fine; I think my water broke."

The two obstetrics authorities beside her quickly stepped forward to comfort and explain, telling her that the sensation of broken water meant she should relax and let nature take its course.

Tushan Jiu and Xie Shiyu on the video, after hearing their words, finally felt relieved.

Mainly because she lacked experience; when the time came, she simply didn't know it would feel like this.

After her water broke, dilation progressed quickly; in about half an hour more she was fully dilated and taken into the delivery room.

The delivery process went very smoothly.

From the first cry to the second, less than five minutes passed, but Tushan Jiu was already drenched in sweat and even felt somewhat weak.

The two little ones were born clean and white, not a wrinkle in sight; the doctors were amazed, for they looked nothing like newborns, more like babies a month old.

The two brothers were fraternal twins, and at a glance their appearances were quite different.

Judging by their brows and eyes, the elder resembled Tushan Jiu, while the younger resembled Xie Shiyu.

When the doctor brought them over for Tushan Jiu to see.

Those two little ones opened their eyes and gazed at Tushan Jiu.

In just an instant, Tushan Jiu felt a slight sourness at the tip of her nose.

She had become a mother.

Perhaps sensing their mother's emotion, the two little ones also began to cry.

Tushan Jiu paused, then quickly took one in each arm, gently patting and soothing them with a soft voice.

The newborns were to be sent to the observation room for two hours.

Tushan Jiu also needed to be observed a while longer before she could leave the delivery room.

The doctor first sent the children out.

Naturally, Tushan Jiu's delivery could not be kept from the people at the office.

Because of the carp leaping over the dragon gate incident earlier, it had already caused a sensation throughout the metaphysical world.

Xu Jiangshan, seeing the direction was toward the Xie Family, was the first to call Tushan Jiu.

At that moment she was in labor, and the one who answered the call was Xie Shiyu.

He briefly explained the situation with that golden dragon, and the office staff also learned that Tushan Jiu was on her way to the hospital to give birth.

So they all rushed over as well.

When the babies came out, the area outside the delivery room was packed with people, and even a few doctors were momentarily surprised.

Xie Shiyu stepped forward and his first words were to ask how Tushan Jiu was, whether her condition was still okay.

No sooner had his words fallen than his phone rang.

Looking down, he saw it was a message from Tushan Jiu, who, worried he'd be anxious, wrote that she was fine and would be able to see him after a brief observation.

This time Xie Shiyu felt somewhat reassured.

Xu Airu and the others also heard it and all breathed a sigh of relief.

They were about to ask the doctor what Tushan Jiu could eat after she came out, or what they needed to do.

After all, it had been over twenty years; Xu Airu had long forgotten what her own childbirth had been like.

But as she turned around, she saw the doctor push the two babies up to Xie Shiyu; he lowered his head, made eye contact with them for a moment, yet still did not move to hold them.

Seeing this, Xu Airu and the others behind him became anxious enough to snap.

"Shiyu, go ahead and hold them, look—the two little ones are staring at you," Xu Airu urged.

After waiting two seconds, Xie Shiyu sighed, relaxed his clenched fists, and uttered three words: "I can't."

For a moment the hospital hallway fell silent.

Xu Airu covered her face, while the doctors and others tried not to laugh.

Everyone: "......"

As it turned out, even Xie Shiyu, who usually strategized with ease, had moments of such embarrassment and helplessness.

After Tushan Jiu came out and returned to the ward, hearing about this, she already lacked strength, yet she ended up laughing herself to tears.

Xie Shiyu had taken a parenting class before, but back then they only practiced with dolls, and he became quite skilled.

Indeed, practice and theory are completely different.

Tushan Jiu still wanted to laugh, but she had no strength left.

Xie Shiyu lowered his head and kissed her lips.

Tushan Jiu said to him: "I'm fine now, go check on the kids. I just looked—Xiao Bai resembles me, Xiao Xi resembles you. Although I know this is normal, I still find it amazing."

Both children took Tushan Jiu's surname; the eldest is called Tushan Bai, the younger Tushan Xi.

The names had been agreed upon long ago by Xie Shiyu and Tushan Jiu.

Xie Shiyu didn't move, just lifted his chin toward the children and said, "Look, is there a place for me?"

Tushan Jiu glanced over there.

In that instant she felt her two sons were about to surrender.

Just now she was the one surrounded; now it's their turn.

Tushan Jiu's mouth corners twitched upward.

From today on, she gained another identity, and her responsibilities grew a bit heavier.

She was thinking that once they were a bit older, she would take them out to peddle knives on the streets.

Mother and son team up, work isn't tiring!
