Thank you! Thank you!
He grinned at the nurse, repeatedly expressing his gratitude, but the nurse looked at him with a strange expression before turning to leave the delivery room. He let Zhang Ji Niang go in to check on Anna, while he handed the two Little Guys to Old He, asking him to take them over as well.
He waited outside the delivery room until Eva was wheeled out. "Thank you for your hard work, Eva! I can't stand how much the baby kicked and made my stomach hurt!"
"When they grow up, I'll spank them for you, how about that?"
Eva quickly shook her head. "No! You can't hit my baby!"
"Hahaha, I won't hit the baby."
Xu Li and the nurses pushed Eva to the hospital room. After hanging up an IV for anti-inflammatory and pain relief, they left the room. Xu Li took out the red envelope he had prepared from his pocket and handed it to Old He. "Thank you, Uncle Kuai. I appreciate you coming over at this hour."
"You're too kind," Old He replied with a smile as he accepted the envelope. Checking the time, he added, "I'll go buy some breakfast for you. The shop opens in half an hour."
"Thank you."
Xu Li nodded as he saw Old He leave. Once the minibus drove away from the hospital, he lit a cigarette and smoked quietly. After a moment, he exhaled a puff of smoke and pulled out his phone to dial a number.
"Hello?"
The man on the other end sounded groggy. Xu Li pressed his lips together. "Anna and Eva have both had their babies. Lao San has a daughter, while Lao Si, Old Five, and Old Liu all have boys. You can name them."
After hanging up, he flicked the cigarette butt away from the hospital room. Meanwhile, Xu Haigui, holding his phone in a daze, placed it on the bedside table in disbelief. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly gave himself a big slap on the face.
"Ouch!"
Kong Yan Hong, who was half-asleep nearby, immediately woke up at the sound of the slap and her husband's pained exclamation. "What happened? Did you have a nightmare?"
"Ugh, no! It was a beautiful dream! A really big beautiful dream!"
He leaned back against the headboard, turned on the bedside lamp, and lit a cigarette. "Ali is a dad again! This time he got twins—one of them is a dragon and phoenix pair! He asked me to help name them."
"Then why are you still sitting here? Go find Liu Xiazi and check on him!"
"Why would I go find him?"
The man waved his hand dismissively. "You go buy some black fish at the market and make some flower stew. I'll go to my study and think of names for the kids!"
With that, he put the cigarette in his mouth and got up to head to his study. Kong Yan Hong scratched her messy hair happily as she went to wash up in Wei Jian's bathroom. Passing by Xu Lei's room, she heard the clattering of keyboard keys inside.
Instantly feeling irritated, she opened the door and walked over to Xu Lei's computer desk. She slapped Xu Lei's head so hard that it tilted sideways, causing his headphones to crash onto the keyboard. "What time is it? Why are you still playing?"
Xu Lei, who was entering his teenage years, complained with a voice reminiscent of a duck, "Ah, school doesn’t start until the day after tomorrow. Can’t I play a little longer?"
"You’re such a waste, I’m telling you," Kong Yan Hong said, lightly tapping Xu Lei’s forehead with her finger. She patted his arm and left the room. Xu Lei chuckled as he closed the door and put on his headphones to continue playing the popular game, Dream Three Kingdoms.
"Xu Zhu, you idiot! Why are you running around like that?"
For someone like Xu Lei, who had grown up with a silver spoon in his mouth, studying poorly didn’t matter at all. After all, others would study hard and still end up working for him after graduation. So what was the point of him struggling to learn all this knowledge?
When the couple entered the hospital room carrying a jewelry box and a large jar of fish soup, they didn’t see Xu Li. Instead, they found Zhang Ji Niang and her two daughters-in-law, along with two chubby boys sitting by the bedside drinking milk.
The former Translation Miss cheerfully approached Natasha to greet her while also thinking about how much she could earn from this translation job!
"Who are these two kids?" Natasha asked, waving at Xu Weihua and Xu Weixia while ruffling their hair. "Oleg and Nikola, they are Li's children."
The man excitedly squatted down to closely examine the brothers' similar faces and grinned widely. "I’m your grandfather!"
The two little kids exchanged knowing glances and turned their heads away from Yuan Liu Liu, ignoring him and making him feel a bit awkward. He could only get up cheerfully and place the newly bought jewelry box along with the red envelopes into the crib.
While the translation girl helped with translating and getting to know Xu Li and Xu Beria’s situation, Kong Yan Hong really cherished these two chubby children, often teasing their little faces.
Taking advantage of their distraction, she stole a few kisses on their cheeks. "So adorable!"
Xu Weihua looked at the stranger with slightly reddened eyes. After pondering for a moment, he moved closer to his mother’s bedside. Xu Weixia ran over to Eva’s side but kept glancing back at Xu Weihua.
Noticing that she was also looking at him, he shyly buried his face into Qi Qin’s pillow, revealing his little bare bottom peeking out from his shorts as he wiggled adorably.
Kong Yan Hong was meticulous as she carefully deboned the black fish and divided it into two portions for the fish soup brought over. After Anna and Eva happily finished their soup and fish, they smiled at her in gratitude. "It was delicious!"
"I’ll make you some different soup tomorrow."
"No need!"
Xu Li entered the hospital room carrying a thermos, startling the Translation Miss who immediately shrank back into a corner to minimize her presence, fearing that this irritable man might lash out at her!
Last time she visited, she had seen Xu Li talking to her boss by the stairs, especially when he raised his large hand as if about to slap her boss across the face; her boss hadn’t dared to utter a word.
"If you need anything, just call me," he said.
Kong Yan Hong looked at the scars and puncture wounds on Xu Li's exposed arms as well as the scars on his face and neck. She felt uneasy in her heart. Tugging at her husband’s shirt, she nodded at Natasha before taking the empty thermos out of the hospital room first.
The man handed a red envelope to Xu Li. "Lao San is a girl, so I thought for a long time, and these few names are the most suitable. Actually, there are two more names; if you put in some effort, you might be able to use them!"
Seeing that Xu Li didn't take it, he pursed his lips and placed it on Anna's bedside table. He nodded to a few people and left the hospital room, seemingly forgetting that there was still someone else present.
Translation Miss saw the boss and the boss lady and slowly moved to the hospital door. As soon as the other party turned away, she quickly tiptoed in her high heels and slipped away.
Just as she reached downstairs, she saw the boss lady waving at her with a smile. Joyfully, she approached to take the red envelope. "Thank you, boss lady! Thank you, boss!"
Kong Yan Hong smiled. "You worked hard today. You can take the day off with pay; just today, though."
"Thank you, boss lady! I'm off now!" Translation Miss happily grabbed the red envelope and ran away. Today was truly lucky; when she opened the red envelope, she was amazed to find it contained eight hundred yuan—two hundred more than last time!
Kong Yan Hong chatted with the man downstairs for a while before they both got into a car and left. Xu Li stayed in the hospital room with his wife, while Zhang Ji Niang took the two children out to eat. In the afternoon, Natasha came alone.
Xu Li took his documents to the police station to register his children's household registration: the girl was named Xu Jiajia, this boy was called Xu Jiaguo, this one was Xu Jiaping, and finally, this boy was named Xu Jia'an!
The police officer looked surprised. "Quadruplets?"
"No, it's a pair of twins and a pair of fraternal twins," Xu Li replied.
Ignoring the officer's strange gaze, he continued, "They are all my children. I have just obtained proof of their birth; their mother is a foreigner, and I need to register them under my name."
"Please wait."
The police officer began registering the new children's files. Soon after, she pushed a small booklet towards Xu Li. "Here’s your children's medical insurance cards. You can go to the convenience center to handle it; it's not too far from here—about seven or eight minutes by taxi."
"Thank you for your trouble!"
Xu Li took the household registration booklet, glanced at the documents processed inside, smiled slightly as he closed it and placed it into a file bag. He then left the police station to handle other paperwork.
