Chapter 230: Chapter 230

Gong Ruini listened to the sounds from next door and touched her belly.

Zhao Guangran tried to endure, but his hunger was too uncomfortable, "Brother, I’m hungry."

"Me too." Gong Ruini looked pitifully at Zhao Xuran, it was fine not letting them go out and cause trouble, but they couldn’t be left hungry.

Gong Tao was standing with Zhao Gang at the door for a while before he remembered he hadn’t cooked for the kids, wondering how they were doing.

Just as Gong Tao was about to push the door open, he heard Gong Ruini asking when they could eat, "You’re all awake, quickly wash up, then eat." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel·fıre·net

Each of them was awake, yet they didn’t go out to wash up nor clamor for food, it seemed they understood the current situation at home.

Although the house was currently in chaos, the children still needed to eat.

Zhao Guangran hesitated when he saw Gong Tao, "Uncle Gong, is my mom okay?"

Gong Tao didn’t know how to answer, if Zhan Jing was doing well, she should be giving birth now, "Don’t worry, things are fine."

If things weren’t fine, either the baby or Zhan Jing would suggest going to the hospital.

Was everything really okay? Gong Ruini hadn’t had a baby before, but she heard some women could be in labor for a day and a night, she wondered if Zhan Jing had the strength to endure that long.

Zhao Guangran didn’t think much, as far as he was concerned, since Uncle Gong said so, everything must be alright, especially since he believed his parents were super capable people who couldn’t be stopped by anything.

Zhao Xuran wasn’t as optimistic, he was present at Zhao Guangran’s birth alongside Zhao Gang, although this time mom was having twins, it shouldn’t take this long, maybe something was wrong?

Despite feeling anxious, Zhao Xuran knew it wasn’t the right time for questions, "Okay, let’s wash up then have breakfast, then come back and do homework."

Ah, homework too? Zhao Guangran wasn’t very happy, to him, today was his little brother’s birthday, so why was big brother being so heartless?

"If not study, then what?" Zhao Xuran glared at Zhao Guangran.

Zhao Guangran looked tough, but once Zhao Xuran gave him that look, he backed down immediately, "Alright, alright, homework. I love homework."

Zhao Guangran felt like crying inside, he was about to become a brother, yet big brother showed no respect, too much.

Gong Ruini was the first to dash out, regardless of the situation, those who could help should do so.

"Uncle Zhao, are you boiling water?" Gong Ruini was relieved to see Zhao Gang alone by the stove.

But why was Zhao Gang wiping tears, was Zhan Jing’s situation not good? That gave Gong Ruini quite a scare.

Zhao Gang’s mood was quite low, it’d been so long without any signs, he was very anxious.

So, before Gong Ruini entered, he was busy wiping his tears, "Just some dust got into uncle’s eyes, it’s nothing."

"Ni Zi, you’re up, what do you want to eat today, uncle will cook for you." Zhao Gang paused, "You can only have porridge, uncle’s cooking skills are average."

If it weren’t for the kids, Zhao Gang wouldn’t even have thought about food.

Speaking of food, exactly, food, earlier Gong Ruini considered putting some space water into the water for wiping Zhan Jing’s body, but wiping and ingesting had very different effects.

Why not think of the best method, "Uncle, Aunt Zhan has been having little brother for so long now, is she hungry?"

"Maybe she doesn’t have the strength to give birth because she’s hungry."

"If Ni Zi is hungry, I wouldn’t have the strength to work." Gong Ruini seriously believed Zhan Jing wasn’t giving birth due to hunger.

Was his wife hungry? Zhao Gang wasn’t sure, exactly, if he let his wife have some food, maybe she’d be able to give birth, either way, he had to try.

Just in time, hearing of his wife’s labor earlier, Zhao Gang had already killed a chicken for soup, planning for her to have chicken soup after childbirth, while the chicken meat might not taste great, the soup was definitely flavorful.

"Mom, I’ll make some chicken soup noodles for Zhan Jing, how about that?" Zhao Gang walked to the room door and asked inside.

Chicken soup noodles, Gong Ruini looked around and spotted a small stove where the chicken soup was brewing, the smell was really enticing, but she couldn’t think about it, else she’d feel hungrier.

Gong Ruini quickly moved to the stove, opened the lid, recited a quick chant, feeling her fingers damp, she dropped a few drops into the chicken soup, then swiftly

closed the lid, not letting anyone notice anything unusual.

Just as Gong Ruini closed the lid and was about to leave, "Gong Ruini, were you about to steal a taste?" Zhao Guangran came in to see her standing by the stove.

No need to look in the pot, Zhao Guangran knew it was chicken soup inside, hmph, no wonder Gong Ruini rushed over so quickly, she had her own little plan, thank goodness he hurried or she’d have succeeded in stealing a taste.

Oh my, Gong Ruini was startled by Zhao Guangran’s sudden voice; had he seen anything, there would have been trouble.

However, with Zhao Guangran’s loud announcement, Gong Ruini knew he merely saw her by the stove.

Since Zhao Guangran hadn’t seen what he shouldn’t have, Gong Ruini wasn’t worried.

"Did I steal a taste?" Gong Ruini strode to Zhao Guangran, opening her mouth to let him smell whether there was a chicken aroma.

Early morning without brushing, the mouth odor couldn’t be pleasant, Zhao Guangran quickly pinched his nose, "Ah, Gong Ruini, you’re so gross, how could you do that?"

Was that bad? Gong Ruini sneered, "I let you check whether I stole food, now you’re sure, right?"

"I heard Uncle Zhao was making chicken soup noodles for Aunt Zhan, I just wanted to see how the soup was brewing." Gong Ruini angrily pointed out Zhao Guangran was just too much, always trying to blacken her name.

Oh, is that so? Zhao Guangran looked to Zhao Gang, indicating if it was true.

"Yes, your mom’s hungry, needs to eat something." Zhao Gang felt foolish, how could he not think of this earlier, even though ginseng could boost his wife’s strength, it couldn’t compare to actual food.

Even earlier his mother-in-law mentioned why hadn’t he thought of it sooner, "Thank goodness for Ni Zi, else we’d be lost."

Zhao Gang was busy making noodles for his wife, also adding ginseng to the chicken soup, as for his two eldest kids, sorry, Zhao Gang had momentarily forgotten about them.

Zhao Guangran watched his dad only focus on making noodles for mom, feeling somewhat neglected, really having a new brother meant ignoring him and elder brother, too much.

Zhao Guangran felt quite wronged, though Zhao Gang completely missed his foolish son’s displeasure, to him, Zhao Guangran should be understanding instead.
