Before the New Year holiday, Su Tiantian was tricked into returning home by a 200,000 yuan promise. The village distributing land money was real, but the desire to trick her into coming home early ...
That night, Su Tiantian slept soundly. She heard the baby crying in a daze, but she felt very uncomfortable. She got up and lay down again. A familiar arm wrapped around her waist: "Tiantian sister, are you still uncomfortable? Do you want to get up?"
Su Tiantian still felt pain when speaking, and whispered: "I seem to hear a child crying."
Liu Jingze said gently, "Don't worry. Daddy and Brother Xi are here, as well as two nannies. They will take good care of Tangtang and Xiaoyi. It's only a little after two in the morning. Do you want to take some medicine and continue sleeping, or do you want to eat something first?"
Su Tiantian was indeed hungry. She hadn't eaten much for dinner to begin with. She asked, "What can I eat at this time?"
Liu Jingze said, "There's porridge warming up. You can steam the buns and shrimp dumplings right now. You can also make some noodles. I guess you don't want fried rice, do you?"
Su Tiantian was not polite: "I want to eat noodles, something light and with soup."
Liu Jingze got up and turned on the bedside lamp. Under the light, his eyes were soft and sincere: "Wait a moment, bring it into the room when it's done."
Fifteen minutes later, Su Tiantian looked at the two steaming bowls of noodles on the coffee table. One was egg and lettuce noodles with sour diced radish, and the other was beef and lettuce noodles. She said anxiously, "Did Dad make this?"
Liu Jingze said: "Yes, you eat one bowl and I eat the other. He asked me not to go to work today and stay at home with you."
Mr. Liu is indeed a man who loves his son as if he were his own life. He is worried about the sick Su Tiantian, but he also feels bad about taking care of Su Tiantian's son, so he is always ready to help.
Su Tiantian reached out and gently twisted Liu Jingze's arm, half complaining and half gratefully saying, "How dare you trouble Dad."
Liu Jingze handed the chopsticks to Su Tiantian and said, "You have known your father since you were a child. You know him well. He is willing to make midnight snacks for his son and daughter-in-law, and he is also willing to take care of the children. Tangtang is asleep, and Xiaoyi needs to be coaxed for a while longer."
After two days and two nights, Su Tiantian finally felt that she was almost fully recovered. Her fever was gone, her body was no longer weak, and her throat was no longer sore. However, she discovered a major problem: she had almost no milk.
Su Tiantian burst into tears: "How could this happen? What about Tangtang and Xiaoyi?"
Liu Jingze held the crying Su Tiantian in his arms, feeling a bit helpless. In fact, he thought it was okay for the child to drink milk powder. Originally, the twin boy and girl drank milk powder and breast milk, and Su Tiantian didn't have enough milk to feed two children.
But Su Tiantian rarely cries. After a caesarean section, her abdomen was pressed to remove blood clots. How painful must it be? Many women would cry, but Su Tiantian didn't cry. Wasn't she in pain? Of course she was in pain, but she didn't cry.
When such a strong Su Tiantian cried, Liu Jingze's heart softened. He and Su Tiantian were childhood sweethearts, and he had seen Su Tiantian cry, but that was in their childhood. He had never seen her cry since he grew up.
Two children were crying outside the room, and his wife was crying in his arms. The children were being comforted by the nanny, but his wife had to comfort herself.
Liu Jingze closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he regained his usual calm and confidence: "Tiantian, don't cry. I'll make a phone call and ask. I'll take you to see a doctor again. Maybe there's a way."
20 minutes later, the two were sitting in the consulting room of a doctor, Director Yuan, a famous Chinese medicine doctor and chief physician of TCM gynecology.
Director Yuan, wearing glasses, took her pulse and asked, "Did you feel any discomfort during your pregnancy? For example, a cold, fever, or cough?"
Su Tiantian shook her head: "No. I was hospitalized once because of contractions."
Director Yuan said, "It's common for a fever to cause milk withdrawal. Some people have a fever because of breast engorgement, which can cause breast inflammation. In your case, just let nature take its course. Let the milk withdrawal stop. Even if I prescribe medicine for you, I don't think the effect will be very significant."
Su Tiantian asked in confusion, "It's not even three months since I gave birth. Don't some people still have milk when they're one year old?"
Director Yuan asked, "Has the child ever eaten milk powder?"
Su Tiantian said: "We have been mixed-feeding since birth. I gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and there was not enough milk for them."
Director Yuan smiled. "Since your child is happy to drink formula and your family is well off, why are you so worried? Drying up your milk isn't necessarily a bad thing. Let me put it this way, you were quite lucky. You didn't get sick during your pregnancy, so it's normal to get sick after giving birth and confinement. This fever might be because you haven't been sick for a long time, and the food you ate during confinement caused a buildup of internal heat. I've seen your blood test report. Your white blood cell count is high, and you have a little anemia. It will be fine with some treatment."
Liu Jingze said, "Director Yuan, my wife always feels that she would be sorry for the child if she doesn't have milk."
Director Yuan said, "What do you mean by being sorry for the children? Some people don't even want to breastfeed. Don't overthink it. Childbirth is very draining on your health. You've given birth to two children at once. Isn't it better to take good care of your body and raise your children well?"
Director Yuan continued, "You started having a fever the night before last and took medicine. You probably haven't fed the baby in the past two days. How is the baby?"
Su Tiantian, who hadn't taken care of her children in the past two days, didn't know how to answer.
Liu Jingze said: "The child was a little unaccustomed and cried, but he seemed fine and was drinking milk normally."
Director Yuan said, "That's all. I'll prescribe three days of Chinese medicine to help you recover. You don't need to take anything too nutritious, just eat a normal diet."
In the evening, Su Tiantian received a call from Deng Qiaoyi.
Deng Qiaoyi, her good friend, said straight to the point, "I've been asked by someone named Jing to comfort his sister Tiantian. Tiantian, how are you feeling?"
