Chapter 257: Production

(I have something to do today, the update is not timely. Here are 2,000 words, just a token of my heart.)

(Thank you, big brothers, for your support.)

Night.

More than a dozen black luxury cars were parked under the neon lights. Leaning against the cars were strong, healthy men laughing and smoking. They were all in black suits, pointed leather shoes, and wearing uniform badges on their collars. Tied to their white shirts were blue-green backgrounds with dark gold patterns embroidered with vivid dragons.

People were not unfamiliar with this attire; it was the standard equipment of "Long Teng," a behemoth that had risen rapidly in recent years.

Behind the strong men was a nine-story building that looked slightly old on the outside. The sign flashing red light on the roof read "Long Teng Hospital" in four large characters.

This was a private hospital acquired and independently operated by Long Teng last year, located in Sha Tin Center, and was the designated medical unit for all Long Teng industries. That is, as long as one was a Long Teng employee or their family member, they all had different degrees of preferential treatment for major and minor illnesses. Generally speaking, minor illnesses cost no money, and major illnesses cost less money.

And after a year of development, Long Teng spent a lot of money to purchase advanced medical equipment and recruited many highly skilled assistant doctors, and also affiliated many specialist doctors. With such expenses, the medical equipment was not bad, the medical environment was not bad, and the doctors were even better. Long Teng Hospital stood in the front row among the many public and private hospitals in Hong Kong.

In the hospital, outside the delivery room, the old lady was swaying anxiously in circles. On the side, Wang Yan had his arms spread, resting on the long bench outside, his right lower leg crossed over his left thigh, his head leaning against the wall behind, waiting patiently for news from inside with his eyes closed.

It was early May 1988, and Ruan Mei was half a month away from her true ten-month pregnancy. The due date was still a week away, but perhaps the children wanted to see this colorful world as early as possible, so they started tossing during lunch.

Because natural birth was better for the children, and postpartum recovery was faster, and there was no need to leave scars, Ruan Mei chose natural birth without hesitation, and it had been more than ten hours by now.

"Ah Yan, there's been no news for so long, is it not going smoothly? Why don't you find someone to ask."

The old lady was anxious, calling out to Wang Yan, who was closing his eyes to rest his mind.

"It's fine, no news is the best news, isn't it?" Wang Yan opened his eyes and looked at the old lady: "Ah Mei is having a natural birth, and it's her first time giving birth, so the time will certainly be longer. You're so old, don't stay up with it, go back and rest. I'll just stay here."

"Rest? How can I sleep?"

"Then sit down and stay steadily. You know my medical skills, if it really doesn't work, I'll go in and help." Knowing he couldn't persuade her, Wang Yan turned to a subordinate standing not far away and waved his hand: "Find some hot water for the old lady."

The subordinate nodded, turned to find a small nurse to ask for water, and soon came back with a thermos and some cups, and most importantly, tea leaves.

Taking the hot water handed over by the subordinate, the old lady sighed, sat on the stool, and worried by herself.

Wang Yan, on the other hand, sat there drinking tea, not in a hurry at all. It was really because he had too many children, and he had worked in the obstetrics and gynecology department before, personally delivering many children, so he no longer had the excitement he felt when he first saw his own child.

Thinking of these, Wang Yan seriously thought about it—his first child in his life. That should have been in "With Youth," and if he calculated it carefully, it was over 200 years ago, and the appearance was already blurry and he couldn't remember it clearly.

Living dashingly, but also pitifully.

For no reason, Wang Yan gave a sneer, shook his head, and continued to drink tea.

Perhaps the tea was too cheap; it wasn't as good as the rare tea he usually drank, so why was it so bitter...

Time passed quickly, and it was dawn.

Just past five o'clock, with a "creak," the delivery room door was pushed open, and the female doctor who delivered the baby came out with two nurses holding the children, smiling: "The production process was very smooth, congratulations to Mr. Wang for having both a son and a daughter."

Before Wang Yan could stand up to speak, the old lady on the side gave a start and stood up. If it weren't for Wang Yan, she would have had to be hospitalized today: "Where are the children? Let me see the children."

Wang Yan smiled and helped the old lady walk to the nurse: "Aren't they being held?"

"Aiya, they look like it, just like Ah Mei when she was young..."

Ignoring the old lady's chatter, Wang Yan looked at the female doctor: "How is Ah Mei?"

"She gave birth to two children and was exhausted. Mrs. Wang fell asleep after seeing the children."

Wang Yan nodded: "Good, thank you for your trouble. Go and get the red envelope from him later."

The female doctor wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled, "It's no trouble at all. I don't know how honored I am to deliver the baby for Mrs. Wang. Thank you, Mr. Wang." She was naturally happy; this Long Teng big boss, the boss of her boss's boss, the big, big, big boss—how could his reward be small?

"Go do your work."

After watching the children with the old lady for a while, he asked clearly that the girl was the eldest and the boy was the second, handed the children to the nurses, and waved for people to disperse.

The fact that they were twins was known last year. It was also because she knew there was a son and a daughter that Ruan Mei eased some of her anxiety and turned to urge Wang Yan to name the children.

Wang Yan was good at this. He had named children so many times that he had long since broken away from the books and could just say it. After discussing a bunch of names with Ruan Mei for reference, they had long been decided. The son was named "Hua," and the daughter was named "Xia." Together, it was "Huaxia," and the meaning was also good. Moreover, the two characters could be interpreted separately, and there were many ways to say it. In general, it was a good name.

And this time, the people delivering the baby for Ruan Mei were all women, not a single man. Now it wasn't the old feudalism of a hundred years ago. Besides, he had worked in the obstetrics and gynecology department, so there wasn't that much to say. But him not saying anything was one thing, and whether the doctors dared to was another.

Knowing it was delivering the baby for Ruan Mei, a group of male doctors ran faster than anyone. That was a hooligan leader; he said he didn't mind, so he didn't mind? Whoever believed that was a fool. So it had been decided long ago; it was just the female doctor just now.

Giving birth wasn't a big deal, but Wang Yan's wife giving birth was a big deal.

After normal work started in the morning, the congratulatory calls to Wang Yan never stopped. However, those who had his phone number were not ordinary, so he just dealt with them hypocritically. As for the public contact phone held by the subordinate, it was almost blown up, and that subordinate had been thanking people for a long time.

After dealing with it, Wang Yan ran to the market to buy vegetables, and also bought some medicine at the Chinese medicine shop, making medicinal meals and some ordinary dishes. Returning to the hospital, Ruan Mei had already woken up.

"How do you feel?"

Ruan Mei grinned and forced a smile: "Not bad."

Wang Yan shook his head, stepped forward to help Ruan Mei up, let her lean against the head of the bed, opened a small table: "I made you a medicinal meal, eat something."

Ruan Mei nodded; she really had no strength to speak. Although she had eaten plenty of Body-Strengthening Pills and her previous exercise volume wasn't small, her foundation was too poor. If it were one child, it might have been better, but giving birth to two was a bit strenuous.

After Wang Yan took care of Ruan Mei eating two bites, the old lady, who had rested for a morning, ate a few simple bites and took over the work of taking care of her granddaughter.

After eating something, Ruan Mei fell into a deep sleep...

Next, they stayed in the hospital for three days, gave the children a check-up, and confirmed there was no heredity, which put her mind at ease. Then Ruan Mei returned home for confinement, and Wang Yan found an experienced nanny to help take care of the children. Because Ruan Mei didn't have enough milk, he also found a woman who had just given birth to breastfeed. He spent every day making various medicinal meals and delicious food to nourish Ruan Mei.

During this period, Wang Yan basically didn't do anything else, just serving Ruan Mei at home. It wasn't until the children were full-month and Ruan Mei finished her confinement and her body recovered more than half that it was considered over. In fact, with Ruan Mei's physique, wanting to recover so quickly was certainly impossible, and it still required him, a person with medical skills, to be by her side and adjust according to her physical condition at any time.

The children were full-month, healthy, and growing sturdily. Wang Yan held a full-month banquet, invited Long Teng's senior management, as well as many partners to eat, and received many gifts. At the same time, all employees under Long Teng were given a red envelope with half a month's salary, which was considered sharing in the joy... ===== CHAPTER 258 =====
