After Qin Juan got pregnant, Lin Chuxia also gave Old Sir He’s herbal prescription to her, reminding her to take care of her body to ease the pain during childbirth.
But Qin Juan didn’t take it seriously. Moreover, her job at the restaurant was busy. She didn’t want to smell like herbal medicine every day, so she only drank two doses of the medicine at the beginning.
Unexpectedly, her labor was even shorter than hers.
Doctor Wang smiled and explained, "Your sister-in-law is having her second child, which is naturally different from your first childbirth. The second child usually comes faster; when they arrived at the hospital, the cervix was already dilated."
Lin Chuxia snapped out of it and smiled as she thanked Doctor Wang.
Anyway, quick delivery was good.
The quicker the delivery, the less pain.
Besides, she gave birth to a boy, so now the eldest sister has both a son and a daughter, which is perfect.
Lin Chuxia and Qin Yang skillfully went to the ward. Before they even reached the door, they heard laughter coming from inside.
Then came Old Mrs. Jia’s reprimand, "Lower your voice; with your loud voice, don’t scare my eldest grandson."
Jia Liang’s voice was loud and cheerful, "Mom, don’t worry, he won’t be scared. I’m his father, and even if he’s timid, he’ll get used to my voice. Right, Juanzi?"
Old Mrs. Jia, "Alright, alright, even if your son isn’t afraid, speak less. Juanzi just gave birth, she’s weak and needs to rest. Let her close her eyes; sleep is the best remedy for replenishing energy."
"Alright, I’ll take the baby aside for a while. Juanzi, hurry and sleep for a bit. I’ll keep an eye on the child, don’t worry."
Old Mrs. Jia, "Go aside, you’re so clumsy, how can you take care of the child? Give the child to me, you watch Juanzi."
Jia Liang, "Mom, I can hold the child and watch Juanzi at the same time. I can manage..."
Lin Chuxia and Qin Yang entered the room to see Jia Liang holding the baby. His posture was somewhat amusing, even stiffer than when Qin Yang held Qi Qi, with both hands supporting the baby as if holding a bomb.
Even so, he decisively refused Old Mrs. Jia’s eager eyes wanting to hold the baby.
If he weren’t afraid of dropping the baby, he would have held him above his head.
Old Mrs. Jia was very affectionate towards her grandson. Even though she wanted to hold her grandson, she was anxious standing before her tall son.
On the hospital bed, Qin Juan didn’t look like a new mother at all. She was full of energy, sitting upright and smiling as she watched the mother and son duo.
Seeing Lin Chuxia coming over, she greeted her to sit, as if about to get out of bed.
Lin Chuxia quickly went to support her, "Big Sister, what are you doing? Are you going to fly? Do you know you just gave birth?"
With her words, both Old Mrs. Jia and Jia Liang stopped fighting over the baby and gathered around.
Jia Liang, holding the baby, with a big bald head asked, "Juanzi, what’s up? Are you thirsty? If you’re thirsty, let mom pour you some water. If you’re hungry, I’ll get you something to eat. Or do you need to go to the bathroom? I’ll carry you."
"I’m not thirsty or hungry; I’m not going anywhere. I just want to pour a cup of water for sister-in-law."
"Come on, this little thing doesn’t need you to do it. Just lie on the bed properly," Old Mrs. Jia pushed her back onto the hospital bed.
Lin Chuxia also disagreed, "Big Sister, are you treating me as an outsider, or do you want to show me your strong physique? Do I really need that cup of water from you right now?"
Qin Juan smiled sheepishly, "It’s all reflex action; I forgot I just gave birth."
Lin Chuxia: "..."
