Chapter 82 Wang Yuanxun and Wang Yuandi
When the nurse said the word "born", Wang Mengde took a deep breath and asked hurriedly:
"Nurse, how is the mother doing? What is her condition now?"
"The mother is doing well. She will rest inside for two or three hours before coming out to the ward. You continue to wait outside." Although the nurse was wearing a mask, Wang Mengde could still feel her happiness when she looked at her.
"By the way, both are boys, and both mother and child are safe."
After saying that, she reluctantly turned her gaze away from his face, turned and walked into the delivery room, and slowly closed the door.
"That's great. The two boys, mother and two of them are all safe." Ran Xiaomei and Zhou Xiaoyan both shed tears of excitement.
Wang Hao and He Guangyao also relaxed and smiles appeared on their faces.
Two hours later, He Shengnan was pushed out of the delivery room. Wang Mengde hurriedly took two steps forward, holding the edge of the stretcher while helping her straighten her hair on her forehead. Then he said to her, "Shengnan, you've worked hard."
"Meng De, these are the two sons. Go and see them." He Shengnan's face was full of fatigue, and she forced a smile.
Fortunately, she had practiced martial arts since she was a child and had a good health. Even though she was pregnant with twins as her first child, she gave birth very smoothly.
"Let's not look at them for now. These two guys have given their mother a lot of trouble." Wang Mengde said with a smile.
Ran Xiaomei and Zhou Xiaoyan also came to the bedside and asked her about her health.
Soon, they arrived at the ward. He Shengnan was lying on the bed with her two sons placed beside her. Wang Mengde then began to look at the two children carefully.
The newborn baby's face is wrinkled and his skin looks a little old.
But in Wang Mengde's eyes, he didn't think he was ugly. He moved forward cautiously, and the corners of his mouth began to rise involuntarily. This was the son of his life.
After talking quietly for a while, Ran Xiaomei saw He Shengnan yawning, and she said quickly, "My dear, why don't we go back for now and let Meng De stay here. I'll go home and make some pork rib soup for Shengnan."
Zhou Xiaoyan also saw that her daughter was sleepy and needed to sleep, so she stood up and said with a smile: "I will stay here with Meng De, and let Guangyao and the others go back."
Seeing her say this, Ran Xiaomei no longer insisted. She gave a few instructions and then went out with Wang Hao and He Guangyao.
After they left, Wang Mengde saw that his wife had fallen asleep, so he walked out with his mother-in-law. In the corridor outside the door, there were many family members of the women who had just given birth, all chatting in low voices.
At noon, Ran Xiaomei came hurriedly, holding a big lunch box in her hand.
Now that she has two grandchildren, she is full of energy and doesn’t feel tired at all even if she hasn’t slept all night.
When they arrived at the ward, He Shengnan had already woken up. She carefully opened the lunch box, and immediately a strong fragrance filled the whole room. The three pregnant women and their families in the same room kept looking over here.
Soon, even people in the corridor outside and in the ward next door began to swallow their saliva.
Leaning against the head of the bed, she took the lunch box and chopsticks and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mom. The soup is so delicious."
"You're welcome. This is the pork rib soup that mom made. I put some lotus root in it. Try it while it's hot." Ran Xiaomei said with a smile as she sat on the bed.
After saying this, he carefully looked at his two sleeping grandsons.
He Shengnan was indeed hungry. She blew into the lunch box and then carefully took a sip of the pork rib soup. The delicious taste refreshed her. Then she picked up a piece of pork rib with chopsticks and put it in her mouth.
"Mom, why is there so much meat on these ribs?" After eating a few pieces of ribs, she realized the problem and asked curiously. Her family had bought ribs to make soup several times before, but there was basically no meat on them.
"Oh, classmate Meng De is in charge of selling meat in the grocery store. I greeted him two days ago and he specially reserved some good ribs for us. If you like it, eat more. I will buy more the day after tomorrow." Ran Xiaomei turned around and replied.
The so-called good ribs are those with more meat on them. Nowadays, the meat of ribs is usually removed cleanly, unless you have connections and have made arrangements in advance, then the meat will be left on the ribs.
"Yeah." He Shengnan nodded and continued eating.
The women who had just given birth in the same room all looked over with envy. Some of them also drank the pork rib soup, but there was not much meat on the ribs.
In the evening, Wang Hao brought his two younger brothers to the hospital. In the ward, the family spent a short but special Mid-Autumn Festival.
Wang Yuanchao and Wang Weiguo also placed their own "rabbit god" next to the two babies.
Time flew by and it was Friday afternoon. After more than two days of observation, it was time for them to be discharged from the hospital.
After completing the discharge procedures, Wang Mengde pushed the bicycle in front, and He Shengnan sat on the back seat, wrapped tightly.
Behind him, Ran Xiaomei and Zhou Xiaoyan were each holding a child wrapped in a small blanket.
When we arrived at Nanluoguxiang and just entered the front yard, we saw the third uncle who happened to have no classes that afternoon and did not go fishing. He was bending over at the door of his house, holding a small shovel in his hand, taking care of some broken flower pots.
Seeing Wang Mengde and the others coming in, he quickly stood up and asked, "Oh, is the baby born? Is it a boy or a girl?"
"His third uncle was born on the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, both of them are boys." Ran Xiaomei continued with a smile.
"Good, a boy is good, sister-in-law is blessed." Yan Bugui said with a smile, and then asked curiously: "Meng De, have you named the child?"
At the same time, he thought to himself that the Wang family had given birth to two pairs of twins in a row, both boys, so they were likely to become prosperous.
"They have already been named. The eldest is Wang Yuanxun and the second is Wang Yuandi," said Wang Mengde.
He spent a lot of effort to come up with these two names, and he almost tore the "Xinhua Dictionary" apart.
In 1953, the "Xinhua Dictionary" arranged in phonetic order was published by the People's Education Press. This was the first version. The following year, the "Xinhua Dictionary" arranged in radical order was also successfully published.
After the first edition of the dictionary was published, Wang Hao spent RMB 1.5 to buy him a copy so that he could easily look up uncommon characters when reading.
"A good name, Yuanxun, has a very good meaning. People who have made great achievements and performed great deeds are called Yuanxun. Yuandi also has a deep meaning, meaning "three first prizes and one place first place."
After thinking about it for a while, Yan Bugui understood the meaning of the two names. He gave a thumbs up and praised them.
Wang Mengde smiled without saying anything. Those who understood could understand the meaning without his explanation, and those who didn't understand didn't need to explain it to him.
Soon, the news that He Shengnan gave birth to twin boys spread quickly in the hospital.
Some people looked congratulated on the surface, but they felt extremely upset in their hearts. After Yi Zhonghai got the news, he went straight home.
Some people showed their emotions directly on their faces. Jia Zhang was so jealous that she was almost going crazy. She stared with her triangular eyes, looked in the direction of Wang Mengde's house, and muttered to herself.
