The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 250: Overjoyed with the Birth of Twin Sons

Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Overjoyed with the Birth of Twin Sons

With one piece of good news coming after another, a farewell also approached.

Wang Jia Bao got into the National Defense Science and Technology University in Changsha, Hunan Province.

After receiving the admission notice, he began packing his luggage to return to J City, first to accompany his parents, and then to report to the school.

Liu Jianmin also planned to go home to be with his parents and come over when the school starts.

Wang Miaomiao did not go to see them off—her belly was already quite big, and she might deliver at any moment.

The Jiang Family was now in a state of high alert.

In the Jiang Family’s living room, Wang Miaomiao was entertaining guests.

"Sister-in-law Yang, Sister-in-law Song, please sit down, make yourselves at home," Wang Miaomiao greeted them with a smile, holding her big belly with one hand.

These two were the babysitters Wang Miaomiao asked Jiang Huilan to find. She was about to give birth, her mother-in-law was unreliable, and her mother couldn’t come. So, she had to get babysitters to look after her during the postpartum month and take care of the two children.

Of course, they weren’t chosen at random.

Xuelan Clothing Factory has grown significantly, now employing around two hundred workers. Some of these workers were recruited locally, while others were retired veterans and their families.

These veterans entered the factory through Jiang Yan and Jiang Peng’s connections, and their character was beyond reproach.

However, the clothing factory mostly needed female workers, and Jiang Yan and the others wanted to hire more veterans, so Wang Miaomiao added a security department, a logistics department, and a decoration department to the clothing factory.

Cheng Xue’s Xuelan Clothing Flagship Store had opened five branches, spread across five districts of Beijing, and her goal was to expand Xuelan Clothing nationwide and even internationally...

After inspecting the sixth branch, the store location was chosen in the city center of the neighboring city and was already being renovated.

Wang Miaomiao had already considered that the transportation and decoration departments would first serve their own industry, accumulating experience and connections.

When the time is right, they would establish the Xuelan Group, and the transportation and decoration departments would be spun off as subsidiaries under the Xuelan Group.

Sister-in-law Yang and Sister-in-law Song were the families of the retired veterans, their husbands were workers in the factory, and since they lacked sewing skills and couldn’t handle the sewing machines, they could only do odd jobs in the factory.

Wang Miaomiao had mentioned looking for two babysitters a few months ago, and Jiang Huilan specially observed for two months before finally choosing these two.

Aunt Li served tea to the guests, and Sister-in-law Yang and Sister-in-law Song thanked her somewhat awkwardly.

These two were simple people, and after a round of conversation, Wang Miaomiao decided to hire them, "Sister-in-law Yang, Sister-in-law Song, the main work here is to take care of my postpartum month and look after the children. The salary is fifty yuan a month, and if the work is good, there will also be year-end bonuses. What do you think?"

Sister-in-law Yang and Sister-in-law Song were stunned. Fifty yuan! They exchanged glances and hurriedly nodded in agreement, fearing to miss this opportunity.

You should know they previously earned twenty a month doing odd jobs at the factory, which was already a high wage. Their husbands only earned forty-plus a month with bonuses. This was even higher than their husbands’ wages.

Seeing them agree, Wang Miaomiao was quite pleased. She was about to give birth and urgently needed manpower. Having hired good people put her mind at ease.

"Alright then, the family has prepared rooms for you. Later, you can have Aunt Li show you around. You will have one day off each week from now on and will live here in the meantime. Of course, if there are any issues at home, you can talk to me, and we’ll make adjustments." Wang Miaomiao aimed to offer them good treatment, hoping they would fully dedicate themselves to looking after the children.

Aunt Li took them to see the rooms in the backyard, and they were naturally very pleased, feeling as though they had entered a wealthy household. The house, environment, and people were beyond their reach.

With a few calls of "elder sister," they quickly became familiar with Aunt Li and gained a more detailed understanding of the Jiang Family. Seeing and hearing so much, they silently vowed to work diligently from now on to secure their future at this main house for as long as possible.

Wang Miaomiao’s belly was large, so she could only sleep on her side to feel slightly comfortable.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Yan suddenly heard the person beside him emit painful moans. He immediately woke up, turned on the bedside lamp, and in the dim light, he worriedly patted her shoulder, "Miao Miao, Miao Miao, wake up. Where are you uncomfortable? Are you having leg cramps?"

As he spoke, he already felt toward her calf and started massaging it. This was something he had gotten used to doing these days.

With these actions, Wang Miaomiao finally woke up. She squinted her eyes and murmured, "Hmm, it’s not my leg, my stomach hurts. I think I’m going into labor."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan immediately got up and, while quickly dressing, stammered reassuringly, "Don’t be afraid, I’ll take you to the hospital right away."

"I’m not afraid, and don’t rush," Wang Miaomiao’s stomach ached intermittently but still bearably. She comforted him in return, "Giving birth isn’t that quick, no need to hurry."

"Silly girl..." Jiang Yan couldn’t handle her being so understanding, lowered his head to kiss her forehead, and in a hoarse voice, resolutely said, "Don’t worry, I’ll be by your side the entire time."

The night was destined for unrest; the whole Jiang Family turned out, not missing a single member, to accompany Wang Miaomiao to the hospital.

Wang Miaomiao knew that yelling during labor would only drain her energy, so she restrained herself, quietly enduring the pain, sweat soaking her temples.

Jiang Yan wiped her sweat while cheering her on, supporting her as they walked back and forth in the hospital corridor.

In the early hours of December 28, 1977, at 4 a.m., Wang Miaomiao entered the delivery room, and by 5 a.m., the Jiang family finally welcomed a grandson with a loud cry—two, in fact.

Wang Miaomiao gave birth to a pair of lovely twin sons. The older brother, Jiang Zihan, weighed four pounds and six ounces, and the younger brother, Jiang Zihui, weighed four pounds and three ounces. Although the two little ones were born a bit small, they were very healthy, and their cries were loud and clear.

Old Mr. Jiang looked at the two little ones in the cradle, unable to stop his eyes from getting wet.

"Dad, the babies are born. Let me take you home to rest," Jiang Zhongyi looked at one and then the other, seemingly never getting enough of them, feeling exceedingly happy.

However, the elderly man was up all night, and Jiang Zhongyi feared he couldn’t hold up.

"No need, I’m feeling quite spirited. Let’s talk about it later..." Old Mr. Jiang stayed with the two children until dawn, finally tempering his excitement a bit.

Jiang Yan, however, only glanced at the children briefly before staying by Wang Miaomiao’s side. Looking at her hair clinging to her temples with sweat and her pale face, his heart ached.

He gently held her hand, kissed it softly, and gazed at her sleeping face with deep affection, silently swearing to treat her even better in the future, because she deserved it.

On a winter morning, with thick fog and frost, the first rays of the sun dispelled the chill in the air.
