The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 307: Both Son and Daughter Achieved

The long-distance love marathon between Jia Bao and Cheng Xue still has its hurdles. Both are still in school, and since they are in a long-distance relationship, wanting to tie the knot will take... well, stay tuned...

Meanwhile, Wang Miaomiao’s belly is growing bigger by the day, just like a balloon being inflated.

These two little ones, unlike their two older brothers, are mischievous little troublemakers.

Yes, Wang Miaomiao is pregnant with twins again. By the fifth month, she felt her belly was bigger than during her last pregnancy. The family had their doubts, discussed it, and promptly went for an ultrasound, which indeed confirmed the twin pregnancy.

Mr. Jiang was so happy he couldn’t sleep all night, tossing and turning with dreams; one moment he dreamed of having two more grandsons, the next of having two granddaughters, his emotions wildly fluctuating.

People are like this; even when things are already good, they always want them to be better. Desire seems endless, and if not controlled by self-restraint, it can consume you.

It was only after seeing his grandson’s performance and his granddaughter-in-law’s struggles that he found peace, realizing that having children is fate; as long as they are healthy and safe, that’s all that matters.

Wang Miaomiao’s pregnancy was incredibly tough, with two months of pregnancy sickness, chest tightness, difficulty walking, cramps during sleep, swollen calves, and the twins being particularly active, causing her considerable distress.

Jiang Yan would always tenderly support Wang Miaomiao, gently stroking her belly and soothing the babies, saying softly, "Little girls, you need to behave and be good. Mom is having a hard time now. When you come out, Dad will play with you, okay?"

Every time this happened, it seemed as if his warm hands truly had magical powers, always bringing them a moment of calm.

Since it’s twins, it’s unsurprising that the birth was premature. In mid-July, the Jiang Family welcomed two new lives again, dragon-phoenix twins that everyone envied, brother Jiang Ziyue and sister Jiang Zixuan.

Mr. Jiang, leaning on his cane, radiated joy, saying "good" over ten times, which even made Jiang Zhongyi, who was beside him, a little worried. The old man is getting on in years and shouldn’t be too excited. "Dad, take it easy."

"Alright." Mr. Jiang responded decisively to his son’s words before finally stopping!

With three great-grandsons and five great-granddaughters, his life is blessed with flourishing descendants, fulfilling the Jiang Family’s ancestral expectations, reaching completeness.

The little granddaughter-in-law was a good find... The young couple is still young; who knows, they might add a few more... hehe...

This time, though, Mr. Jiang was overthinking it. Not factoring in the upcoming national family planning policy, Jiang Yan wouldn’t let Wang Miaomiao have any more children. Each birth is like a battle, and four children are truly enough.

Wang Miaomiao herself wouldn’t want to have any more; this pregnancy has worn her out terribly.

After giving birth, she fell asleep in exhaustion. When she awoke groggily, she couldn’t help but frown, feeling sore and in discomfort in her lower body.

The room was quiet, with only a dim hallway lamp turned on.

Wang Miaomiao turned her head, and next to her bed were two baby cribs. She was filled with joy and impatience, but her hand was still hooked up to an IV, so she could only use one hand to prop herself up to look at the tiny figures in the cribs.

"Creak..." The door was pushed open quietly, followed by soft footsteps. Wang Miaomiao turned her head and saw the man’s delighted eyes and smiling face.

"You’re awake..." He had just been overjoyed and then, seeing her half-propped body, hastily said, "What are you doing? Lie down quickly."

He rushed over to her, dropping the basin he was holding, and gently supported her back, intending to slowly lay her down.

She spoke up, "I don’t want to lie down, I want to sit up and look at the babies."

"No, you can’t sit." Jiang Yan refused without a second thought.

"Jiang Yan..." Wang Miaomiao frowned and pouted, her lips a bit cracked, eyes filled with a shimmering look of complaint.

Jiang Yan’s heart skipped a beat; her expression matched with her pale face from exhaustion due to childbirth looked tender and fragile... easy to topple...

A flicker of darkness passed through Jiang Yan’s deep-set eyes, and it took him two blinks to restore clarity, speaking helplessly, "You can’t sit up. I’ll get you two pillows to raise you slightly, then I’ll bring the babies over for you to see, okay?"

"Mm..." Wang Miaomiao’s face immediately lit up with a big smile, a little proudly saying, "Fine, that’ll do."

Jiang Yan felt his heart melting; this little thing, if she hadn’t just given birth, and conditions allowed, he truly wanted to spoil her, and it was hard not to just suppress the fiery feeling in his heart.

But no, he felt he needed to focus on proper matters, not let his mind wander.

Jiang Yan averted his gaze, assisting her to lie down, "Lie down first, I’ll go ask the nurse for a pillow."

She was staying in a double room; the bed next to hers was currently vacant, without any bedding.

Jiang Yan went out and soon returned, carrying a large pile of bedding, estimating several pillows.

Sure enough, after putting the bedding on the neighboring bed, he took two pillows and returned to Wang Miaomiao’s side.

He placed one arm around her, slowly sliding the pillows behind her, creating a slight slope to ensure her comfort.

Once Wang Miaomiao was settled, she eagerly said, "Quickly bring the babies over for me to see. I heard they’re dragon-phoenix twins; which one is the brother, and which is the sister?"

Compared to Wang Miaomiao’s urgency, Jiang Yan remained calm, "There’s no rush, they’re lying right there, not going anywhere. Here, drink some water first, look at your dry, cracked lips, don’t they hurt?"

If he hadn’t mentioned it, she wouldn’t really have noticed; the soreness in her lower body was far more pronounced, making her lips inconsequential by comparison.

With his reminder, she did feel the dryness and roughness, licking her lips involuntarily.

Jiang Yan mixed some boiled water with cold water, using a spoon to feed her gently.

"Take it easy; we’ll do this slowly. There’s no rush." He knew it was inconvenient for her to eat lying down, but for her well-being, being meticulous was no issue.

Women endure hardship during childbirth; this time is vital for proper care, not allowing negligence, so he stopped her from sitting up.

"Mm..." Wang Miaomiao wasn’t unappreciative; she softly agreed and focused on drinking water...

She couldn’t afford to be careless, as drinking while lying down risked him accidentally pouring water into her nose.

"Alright, later you still need chicken soup, so just moisten your throat for now." Jiang Yan stopped after feeding five spoonfuls.

This amount of water was just a drop in the bucket for Wang Miaomiao at this moment. She was extremely thirsty, exhausted, and hungry... empty after the delivery.

However, upon hearing about the chicken soup, she was no longer anxious, waiting to enjoy the soup and eat some meat.
