Special Encounter

The rest of the work was left to Grandma Wang. The two placentas successfully fell off and slid out from the womb.

Exhausted from giving birth to two babies consecutively in a row, Mrs. Yang was now sleeping.

Xiaoguo wanted to leave, but her legs were still feeling a little weak. She couldn’t move at all. She could only sit on a stool at the side to conserve her strength.

Looking at the quiet room, Xiaoguo only had one thought in her heart. “Thank you to my respected and cute biology teacher…”

After the room was cleaned up, Xiao Zhu came in with Xiaohua and Xiaohu. The two children had cried so hard that their eyes had become swollen because they were so worried about their mother. Each of them stood by Mrs Yang’s bed with two red walnuts on their faces as they carefully poked at their sleeping brothers.

Xiaohu was the more mischievous one. When he saw that his mother was fine, his mind started to work. While the adults were not paying attention, he lifted the small blanket that was wrapped around the two babies.

“Look! They have penises just like me!”

As he spoke, he was about to pull down his pants to show everyone.

Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling, being girls, were very shy when faced with such a lively child like Xiao Hu. As soon as he started to pull down his pants, the two of them turned their heads away shyly.

Old Mrs. Yang, who had just sent Granny Wang off, was entering the house when she spotted Xiaohu’s actions. She immediately slapped his butt.

“You little brat, misbehaving again.”

Xiaohu had thick skin, so he didn’t seem affected by the slap. He just pulled up his pants and chuckled to himself.

Xiaohua was the more well-behaved one. She carefully covered up the two little brothers with the blanket again. She then rested her chin on her hands and looked at them curiously. Although they looked a little ugly, they were very cute.

“Hehe…”

Xiaohua couldn’t hide her love for her little brothers. She liked them so much that she couldn’t stop touching them.

Old Mrs. Yang sat down beside Xiaoguo and said gratefully, “It was fortunate that you were here. Otherwise what would have happened to the three of them…?”

As she spoke, she shook her head guiltily. “Tell me, why did I have to go out today? I knew that the kids’ mother could go into labor anytime soon. Why did I have to go out during this time? Sigh…”

Since she had mentioned it, Xiaoguo took the opportunity to ask her, “Auntie, Yang Jia said that you went out to look for Grandma Wang. Why did you take so long to come back?”

“Sigh, I went to look for Grandma Wang today to talk to her about helping with the delivery. Along the way, the daughter-in-law of the Wei family went into labor. Grandma Wang insisted that I go with her. I was thinking that the kids’ mother was not going to deliver today so I decided to tag along and pick up some skills from her. But who would have thought that she actually went into early labor today?”

Yang Jia, who was waiting outside anxiously, had avoided coming in earlier because of the situation. When he heard that Mrs. Yang had given birth to two boys, he was overjoyed. He said that he was going to the county to look for his brother but he was immediately stopped by Mrs. Yang.

At this moment, he was quietly listening to the commotion in the room. He quickly explained, “I went to Mrs. Wang’s house but couldn’t find the two of them. I had to ask around for a long time before I found them at Old Wei’s house. That’s the reason for the delay.”

“Fortunately, you are here. Otherwise, my sister-in-law and my two nephews…”

At this point, Yang Jia stopped talking and squatted down, trying to choke back his tears. All these years, his sister-in-law had done so much for this family. He had long regarded her as his second mother from the bottom of his heart. When he couldn’t find Grandma Wang just now, he almost fell into despair. It was so fortunate that Xiaoguo was around…

As Old Mrs. Yang listened to Yang Jia, tears welled up in her eyes. She held a handkerchief that she had just washed with water and wiped away the stains on Xiaoguo’s hands carefully. “How should I thank you…,” she cried.

Their attitude made Xiaoguo feel terrible.

She wondered if she was fearless because of her ignorance.

After calming down, she felt a lingering fear in her heart. Where did she get the courage to deliver the baby? If she had been a second late or made any mistakes along the way, Mrs. Yang and two babies could have lost their lives. if that happened, she would have…

Xiaoguo’s thoughts were a mess. She politely declined Mrs. Yang’s request to keep her for dinner, and returned home with the two girls.

As soon as they entered the house, Xiaoguo lost her balance and fell to the ground, startling the two girls beside her.

“Sister Xiaoguo!”

“Are you alright, Sister Xiaoguo?!”

The two of them tried to help her up, but Xiaoguo really didn’t want to move. She waved her hand and said tiredly, “I’m fine. I’ll be fine after resting for a while.”

Seeing that the two of them were not moving, she nudged them. “Go into the house.”

Xiaoguo pushed the two of them into the house. Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling did not want to leave. How could they let her sit here alone?

“I’m really fine. Hurry up and go into the house. I need to calm down.”

Just a moment ago, the lives of three human beings were resting in her hands. At that time, she didn’t feel it, but now that she was more relaxed, she could feel her heart trembling.

Xiao Zhu was about to say something when Yu Ling quickly stopped her. She shook her head and dragged her back into the house.

“Yu Ling?”

“Shh.”

Xiao Zhu was still reluctant to leave, but Yu Ling forcefully pulled her away.

After the two of them left, Xiaoguo sighed. Her hands still felt sticky and the scene earlier was still vivid in her mind. At this moment, she was just pretending to be calm. In fact, she didn’t feel calm at all. Instead, she was extremely terrified.

“Sigh…”

Xiaoguo wanted to spend some time alone to reflect upon herself, but the two people behind her did not give her the chance to do so.

Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling hid at the door and discussed softly as they watched her back.

“Sister Xiaoguo doesn’t know that we are here, right?”

“I don’t think so. Let’s just keep our voices down.”

“It’s too cold outside. Should we call her in?”

“She won’t come in even if we asked her to.”

“What if she catches a cold?”

“Exactly. She was sweating so profusely just now.”

“Let’s boil a pot of water. Sister Xiaoguo must be feeling quite uncomfortable right now.”

“I think that’s a good plan!”

“Then let’s think of a way to get her to come in first.”

“Okay!”

Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling started devising a plan to bring Xiaoguo into the house.

Xiaoguo was deep in thought too. She looked helplessly at the two girls behind her who were talking with their heads lowered. “Please, since they are going to attempt something secretly, they should at least keep their voices down. Should I pretend not to hear them or not?”

In the end, the two young girls still couldn’t think of anything after racking their brains. Sister Xiaoguo was so smart, their combined intelligence was nothing in comparison.

In the end, it was Xiaoguo who stood up and returned to the house. She saw how happy the two young girls looked when she did that. If she were to continue sitting outside, they would get worried sick. That was why she decided to go into the house eventually.

Thanks to Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling, Xiaoguo took a comfortable hot shower which made her feel much refreshed.

All her tensed nerves led to drowsiness when she finally had the chance to wind down. But she still forced herself to finish making dinner.

Unknowingly, it had taken her half a day to deliver Mrs Yang’s baby. After dinner, Xiaoguo quickly returned to her room.

As soon as she lay on the bed, she sat up again. She just couldn’t lie down. If she didn’t share her thoughts now, she wouldn’t be able to relax for the next few days.

“That won’t do!”

Xiaoguo got up anxiously and picked up a brush and paper to start writing.

“Jiang Danhe, I’m sure you can’t imagine that I did something incredibly shocking and unbelievable this afternoon. Even if I told you, it would be hard to believe.”

“Sister-in-law suddenly went into labor this afternoon, but there was no one at home except for Yang Jia and the two children. Yang Jia had no choice but to look for me. There was another family in the village who was also in labor. The midwife, Grandma Wang, and Old Mrs. Yang had both gone to that lady’s house. Initially, I had gotten everything prepared and was only waiting for Mrs. Wang to come over. However, we were all caught off guard when the baby decided to come out right there and then.”

“This was my first time delivering a baby, or rather, this was the first time that I was caught in such a situation. To be honest, I don’t know where I gathered my courage from, helping to deliver the two chubby boys. Oh right, Sister-in-law had given birth to twins. I had told her before today she was most likely carrying twins, but Sister-in-law didn’t believe me. When she wakes up, I have to talk to her about this. Hehe.”

“Look at me, I’m digressing again…”
