Chapter 245: Being Considerate

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Heng Yi was so excited and happy that he fainted.

He helped himself to a chair and quickly came back to his senses.

In the delivery room, the birthing process went smoothly and the female doctor didn’t need to help to force the child out. Han Qiao had successfully given birth to her first son.

It was a fair and tender little fellow.

“It’s true. I’ve delivered so many children, but I’ve never given birth to such a fair child.”

Although his face was still wrinkled, his appearance was true and handsome.

When she was done, the midwife went forward and whispered, “Madam, be careful. I’ll carry you to the bed.”

“Sorry for the trouble.”

The midwife was very strong.

She immediately carried Han Qiao up.

She lay Han Qiao on the soft bed and placed the child beside her.

With just one glance, Han Qiao’s heart melted.

All the healthy food she ate didn’t go in vain, the bird’s nest she ate every day didn’t go in vain. She would never touch or eat anything that she could not eat during her pregnancy.

Spicy and greasy food was avoided.

She heard the sound of the door being pushed open, and then a figure came over like a gust of wind.

When she looked up, Heng Yi was still by the bed.

He looked at her, then at the baby, then at her belly, and then at the baby.

His eyes were filled with disbelief and surprise.

He slowly squatted by the bed and held Han Qiao’s hand. He sobbed, “You’ve worked hard.”

Thousands of things were said with those simple words.

Heng Yi didn’t know what else to say.

Han Qiao smiled gently and dug her fingers into Heng Yi’s palm.

Her water broke last night and it hurt for a few hours. Giving birth was an extremely difficult thing. She was so weak that she only wanted to sleep.

The female doctor came over with the medicinal soup. Heng Yi immediately took it and fed it to Han Qiao with a spoon.

Looking at the bite mark on Han Qiao’s lips, Heng Yi’s hand paused.

He finally understood why Han Qiao didn’t make a sound when he know other people were screaming in pain. She was afraid that he would be worried, so she endured the pain silently.

He opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

Whatever he was about to say was not enough to describe Han Qiao’s efforts.

Han Qiao drank the medicinal soup and fell into a deep sleep. She couldn’t care less about anything else.

Heng Yi stood up in shock, panicking, “Doctor, she…”

“Don’t worry, Master Heng, Madam is just too tired.” The female doctor whispered

She asked someone to carry the child to the side of the cradle and went forward to take Han Qiao’s pulse.

Heng Yi cared about both his son and Han Qiao.

He felt that his eyes were not enough to keep watch of everything.

He simply moved the cradle to the side of the bed and stood in front of it to watch.

The woman on the bed was a little pale, and her breathing was even. She was exhausted, and her entire body was weak.

The little boy in the cradle had his eyes closed. He looked very handsome, clean, and fair.

Heng Yi slowly squatted beside the cradle.

Only then did he seriously look at his son, the child who carried his bloodline in this world.

Looking at him, his mind went blank.

There were all sorts of things that he had already thought of during the days leading to this moment, but when that day came, there was nothing in his mind.

He grinned foolishly.

He reached out to touch the child but didn’t even dare to graze his fingers on the baby’s skin.

Aunt Zhao had already cooked and dyed all the red eggs that she wanted to serve.

Heng Yi couldn’t walk anymore, and he didn’t want to, so he asked Housekeeper Liu to bring Han Chi along.

Han Chi did not want to go, “I haven’t seen my brother and sisters yet.”

“Then hurry up and go in to take a look.”

Han Chi brought Sun Xiu, Sun Yi, Sun Ke, and He Cheng into the main courtyard quietly.

Han Qiao fell into a deep sleep on the bed.

The child in the cradle was sleeping soundly.

“Little Brother,” He Cheng shouted and quickly covered his mouth.

Then, he used his strength and shushed the child in the cradle with his sparkling eyes.

Han Chi felt his eyes getting a little hot.

This was his brother without any blood connecting them. In this life, regardless of right or wrong, he would risk his life to protect his younger brother.

He looked like a small ball.

Han Chi wiped his face and went out of the house with Housekeeper Liu to Xishan Village to report the good news.

He also sent the red eggs over.

Sun Ke didn’t think too much about it. She just wanted a little brother.

Although she was young, she knew that this younger brother of hers was different from He Cheng.

This was the little brother that came from her mother’s stomach.

He Cheng is the younger brother from someone else’s family.

Sun Xiu and Sun Yi, on the other hand, thought more.

Looking at their father beside the bed, Sun Xiu and Sun Yi knew that his heart was with their mother. They never thought that he would love them as much as he loved his little brother in the cradle.

Compared to their biological father, this father had already done a very good job of taking care of them. He treated them better than their biological father ever did.

They wouldn’t fight over his love, and it was fine for them as long as they lived in harmony.

As for their new little brother, he naturally had to be doted on.

This was the younger brother they had been looking forward to for many years.

Yes, the two of them were looking forward to having a younger brother. It was not for anything else, but for someone to support them in the future and for them to return to their family.

The female doctor asked everyone to go out because Han Qiao’s postpartum bleeding had not been discharged yet. She needed to perform acupuncture while the midwife cleaned up at the side.

None of this was suitable for children to see, nor for Heng Yi to see as her husband.

The child was carried to the next room by Shulan, where the four nannies were already waiting.

The two of them gave birth to a son, and the other two gave birth to a daughter. They both looked healthy and were stocky.

The little boy did not cry or make a fuss. He did not want to eat anything either. He just farted a few times and pooped a little.

The nanny hugged him and tried to feed him, but he refused to eat.

Tightly closing his small mouth,

“This…

The nannies were extremely worried.

Shulan quickly took the child and placed him in the cradle, “Maybe he’s not hungry yet. Let’s wait a little longer.”

Naturally, she would not let them be alone with the child.

She told them to go to the room next door.

There were food and drinks to be served. As for who would stay, the four of them were a little nervous.

Han Qiao slept for a while. When she woke up, she felt weak, but the heavy feeling in her stomach was gone.

There was still a feeling of something flowing out of her lower body.

“You’re awake,” Heng Yi’s gentle voice.

Han Qiao turned her head and saw his face full of joy.

“Are you hungry? The kitchen has prepared food. Is there anything you want to eat? I’ll get the kitchen to make it.”

Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? I’ll get the doctor to take a look.”

Han Qiao watched as Heng Yi continued to speak incoherently.

Then she smiled gently, “1 don’t feel uncomfortable. 1 just want to go to the washroom.”

“Wait here, I’ll bring the toilet bowl over.”

Heng Yi immediately went to get two barrels; one to throw the cotton pad stained with postpartum bleeding, and the other for her to pee.

He didn’t feel disgusted, and Han Qiao had trouble standing, so he had to help.

He supported almost, if not all, of Han Qiao’s weight.

When she lay down, Han Qiao was still drenched in sweat.

She felt empty.

This time, he didn’t need Heng Yi to clean it up. Pucao had already taken the bucket away.

Pucao didn’t talk much, but she was very hardworking and didn’t slack off.

When the time came, Shulan would take care of the child and bring Pucao up to serve the Madam.

Han Yuan came in with a bowl of brown sugar eggs.

“You’re awake. Come and have some eggs.”

In Puyi County, there was a custom where the wife had to eat two brown sugar eggs after giving birth.

Han Yuan had wanted to let Han Qiao eat the eggs herself since she and her daughters-in-law ate them themselves when they gave birth.

“Mother-in-law, please put it on the table over there.” Heng Yi said.

He gently helped Han Qiao up and leaned her against the soft pillow. He wiped her hands and mouth with a warm handkerchief.

He rinsed her mouth with warm water.

He was orderly, and Han Qiao enjoyed the process, of course.

She waited until Heng Yi washed his hands and sat by the bed with the brown sugar egg.

“Drink some soup first to sweeten your mouth.” He fed Han Qiao the warm soup.

One fed the other.

Han Qiao ate the two eggs, but she was unwilling to drink the soup.

Heng Yi didn’t mind finishing the remaining soup in two gulps.

He then brought some warm water for Han Qiao to rinse her mouth and wipe her mouth before helping her lie down..
