Chapter 302 The birth of twins

"How could this be?" Chen Fan asked in surprise.

Zhang Jianjun smiled calmly: "It's my own fault. I couldn't see people's true colors. I was stabbed twice by my colleagues, once in the chest and the other time my finger was cut off."

After taking a drag of his cigarette, Zhang Jianjun said, "If the scene hadn't been so chaotic, I might not have been able to escape, and I might have ended up in Heihe forever."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fan was slightly taken aback.

The old saying is true: when you're out and about, danger doesn't always come from outsiders; more often than not, it comes from your own people. If you're caught off guard, you're bound to suffer.

This was exactly what Chen Fan had envisioned. He never expected Zhang Jianjun to be so unlucky: "This is my fault. I shouldn't have told you about the Soviet Union."

Zhang Jianjun chuckled: "What does it have to do with you? Going to the Soviet Union did make money. I made quite a bit by going back and forth several times."

"It's time to quit now. I can make a living by doing small business, which is better than many people's lives."

At this point, Zhang Jianjun introduced the woman and child at the street stall, who were his wife Zhang Ru and daughter Gao Xue, who had just gotten their marriage certificate this year.

After he escaped, he got lost in the forest and soon fell unconscious. He was rescued by Zhang Ru, who was going into the mountains, and taken to the hospital for treatment.

During his hospitalization, Zhang Ru took care of him.

After being discharged from the hospital, he recuperated at Zhang Ru's home and learned that Zhang Ru's ex-husband, like him, had gone to the Soviet Union to make money and was murdered.

Perhaps it was because they shared a similar plight, or perhaps it was because he had saved her life, but gradually Zhang Jianjun developed feelings for Zhang Ru, married her, and even brought their child to the capital.

After chatting for a while, Chen Fan left.

Watching Chen Fan leave, Zhang Ru frowned slightly: "Was it him who told you to go to the Soviet Union? I suspect he has ulterior motives. Be careful in the future."

"He never had good intentions to begin with."

Zhang Jianjun took out another cigarette and lit it: "I felt something was wrong from the beginning, but after investigating, I found that going to the Soviet Union could really make you rich, and I couldn't control myself."

Zhang Ru spat, "I thought you were really my friend, but it turns out you're two-faced."

Zhang Jianjun took a drag of his cigarette and said with a wry smile, "This is really not his fault. We've been childhood friends and were good friends since we were young. It's my fault for wronging him first."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ru was stunned!
Zhang Jianjun slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and sighed, "Zhou Xiaoying in the courtyard, you've met her before, she came to our wedding."

“Zhou Xiaoying and Chen Fan were childhood sweethearts. I liked Zhou Xiaoying back then, and because of jealousy, I often caused trouble for Chen Fan, which is how we became enemies.”

"It's normal for him to set a trap for me."

After understanding the whole story, Zhang Ru didn't know what to say. After all, her husband was in the wrong first, but she also had no right to morally condemn him.

Then they're no longer a couple!

After thinking for a moment, I still said, "Anyway, it's best to be careful. If you don't get screwed over once, who knows what other trouble you might cause next."

Zhang Jianjun replied, "That's why I said so much. What I meant was to tell him that you tricked me, so let bygones be bygones, and from now on I just want to live a peaceful life!"

"That's right, let's be down-to-earth."

Zhang Ru hummed in agreement, picked up her daughter, and asked curiously, "You just said that Chen Fan and Zhou Xiaoying were childhood sweethearts, why didn't they end up together? Did you ruin it?"

"I tried, but it didn't work."

Zhang Jianjun took another drag of his cigarette: "When we came back from being sent to the countryside, Zhou Xiaoying and I worked at the Cultural Palace, but Chen Fan couldn't find a job on his own."

“Zhou Xiaoying’s family looked down on Chen Fan. Her mother often ridiculed Chen Fan, and Zhou Xiaoying herself began to distance herself from Chen Fan, which is why their relationship ended.”

"The interesting thing is that after the two broke up, Chen Fan suddenly became a writer and was admitted to Peking University. The Zhou family regretted it to the core."

"Zhou Xiaoying was depressed for several years."

Zhang Ru blinked, and after a while, she complained, "Goodness, just like in the opera, they despise the poor and love the rich, and the poor boy strives to improve himself and returns in glory."

……

"Zhang Jianjun is really unlucky. You really screwed him over this time."

After walking a distance, Xu Jinqiu clicked her tongue and teased, "You almost died in the Black River because you lost a finger. Are you satisfied yet? Do you want to dig another hole?"

Chen Fan shook his head slightly: "Forget it, he said a lot today, which means he completely admitted defeat. I'm too embarrassed to dig another hole for him."

Xu Jinqiu hummed in agreement and took her husband's arm: "He lost a finger, so the revenge is complete. But Zhang Jianjun has really changed a lot." In her memory, Zhang Jianjun had triangular eyes, a cunning look, and his smile was the most hypocritical. But today, when they met again, he seemed much more sincere.

"Perhaps it was experiencing life and death that led to a profound realization."

Chen Fan smiled and quickened his pace: "Let's go shopping. In our hometown, we have a tradition of playing the dice game for the Mid-Autumn Festival. This year, all four families will be celebrating together, so let's have a dice game too."

"Bo Bing, is it mooncakes?" Xu Jinqiu asked curiously.

Chen Fan introduced the Minnan Mid-Autumn Festival mooncake gambling custom, and Xu Jinqiu and Zeng Ali's eyes lit up as they began preparing prizes for the game.

Two days later, the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived as scheduled!

After the lively Mid-Autumn Festival, life returned to normal, and soon it was October in the Gregorian calendar. Chen Fan drove Zhao to the VIP room of Peking Union Medical College Hospital to prepare for childbirth.

"It's still more comfortable staying at home!"

When they arrived at the hospital, Ms. Zhao looked unhappy, and Chen Fan could only coax her. With two children in her belly, he dared not be careless in the slightest.

Food and drinks were delivered to them at every meal.

After staying for two days, her due date arrived. Zeng Ali was well-prepared, having prepared red envelopes in advance and taken care of the doctors and nurses.

Even so, as Ms. Zhao was wheeled into the delivery room, Chen Fan remained anxious, as the risk of complications for the two babies in her womb was escalating rapidly.

Ms. Zhao is usually so lazy, I wonder if she has enough physical strength to support two children.

Chen Fan has already instructed the doctor that if Miss Zhao's strength is insufficient, they should not hesitate to prepare for a cesarean section immediately, and he will sign the consent form.

Family members rushed over, all of them anxious and restless.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly. The first cry was heard, and half an hour later, the second child was born, and the ward door was finally opened.

Chen Fan hurried inside, not even looking at the child, and rushed to Miss Zhao's side. The girl was already very weak and could not muster any strength.

"Yuanyuan, how are you?"

Upon hearing this, Miss Zhao forced a smile and said, "I'm alright, it's nothing. You take good care of the child, I need to get some sleep, I'm exhausted."

The nurse came over and lifted the person onto the trolley.

Xu Jinqiu and Zeng Ali each carried a child, following behind. The older one was a boy, and the younger one was a girl. The two children looked very similar.

The boy's name is Chen Yancheng, and the girl's name is Chen Yanyin.

Because Ms. Zhao gave birth to twins, she definitely didn't have enough breast milk, so her family hired two wet nurses, one for each baby.

After regaining her strength, Ms. Zhao persisted in breastfeeding for a month until she finished her postpartum confinement period, at which point she handed over the breastfeeding work entirely to two wet nurses.

"What a waste of such a large size, it can't even satisfy two children."

Xu Jinqiu joked, with a hint of envy, that Miss Zhao's figure was really hot. She used to be a size bigger than herself, but after giving birth, she was two sizes bigger.

This is making Chen Fan incredibly hungry!
"I'm not a cow!"

Miss Zhao glanced at Xu Jinqiu's chest with annoyance and said disdainfully, "So small!"

puff...

Chen Fan couldn't help but laugh. "Can't even hold it in one hand?" he thought. But Miss Zhao had the right to say that, especially lately, with her... fierce aura!
Xu Jinqiu was speechless for a while before she finally exhaled and began to tease the child, "Yanyin, you have to be good from now on. Don't follow your mother's example or you'll become a lazybones."

“My daughter won’t do that. She’ll definitely be hardworking in the future and take care of me.”

Hearing this, Xu Jinqiu was both amused and exasperated: "Just be lazy for the rest of your life. In another ten years, we'll prepare a wheelchair so Yan Yin can push you around."

"It's not impossible!"

Miss Zhao chuckled, picked up her daughter, who was fair-skinned and very cute: "Yuanyin will definitely be a beauty when she grows up. Oh dear... Yancheng looks so much like Yanyin, will he grow up to be a girl?"

Xu Jinqiu slapped her: "You jinx! You look alike when you're little, but as you grow up, the features of a boy will be different from a girl's."

"That's good!" Miss Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and looked a little silly.

Chen Fan looked at it and couldn't help but feel a headache coming on!
The young wife wasn't very bright to begin with, and if she gets pregnant and becomes even less bright for three more years, life will probably be quite chaotic.
