Chen Afu's labor this time was relatively smooth. It started in the late afternoon and by 9 p.m., she had given birth.
The first child was a boy, who cried loudly. Before he was weighed, the midwife exclaimed, "Good heavens, there's another twin, and he's so chubby!"
After weighing, the midwife announced loudly, "It's a boy, six pounds and one ounce."
People outside the room were astonished at the news, and Chu Lingxuan and others were overjoyed.
Having delivered one child, Chen Afu felt instantly lighter. She was delighted to hear her son was so heavy. However, before she could even laugh, she was hit with another wave of pain. Half an hour later, she gave birth to a girl.
This time the midwife didn't shout in surprise but said, "It's a girl. Congratulations, madam has given birth to fraternal twins."
