Chapter 182 Dragon and Phoenix Bloating

On the third day, Su Le's condition finally improved. Chen Yao and Su Fugui arrived early in the morning, made some porridge, and told Li Zichen to go back to sleep. Yao Cuifang also came over to help take care of the three of them.

In the afternoon, the nurse came to tell Su Le that she could try to get out of bed and walk around. The two children hadn't had a single sip of breast milk yet. Su Le only pulled up the curtain at night to feed her older sister while Chen Yao fed her younger brother formula.

Babies have a strong sucking ability, and every bite involves the wound. The pain is unbearable for Su Le, so he can only let Chen Yao feed the child milk powder. Not only does he feel pain, but the child also doesn't get to drink milk.

Li Zichen fed Su Le some water, helped her turn over, and said, "Wife, let's feed her with formula. Seeing you in so much pain, I feel bad."

Su Le smiled and nodded. She really couldn't hold on any longer.

On the fourth day, Chen Yao and Li Zichen carefully helped Su Le out of bed. The pain of getting up made Su Le gasp for air and burst into tears. Chen Yao, heartbroken, followed suit. Li Zichen fought back tears, waiting for Su Le to recover.

Su Le paused for a long time before nodding to the two of them. Li Zichen helped Su Le put on her shoes and carefully helped her stand up. The pain of standing up made Su Le burst into tears.

Li Zichen advised distressedly: "Wife, if it doesn't work, let's just lie down."

Chen Yao shook her head and said, "No, I can't just lie there. I have to walk." Su Fugui also encouraged Su Le. Su Le took a while to recover, and then, with the support of the two, he slowly slid along the ground, unable to lift his legs to walk.

The two of them helped her to the bathroom. Li Zichen held her and slowly let her squat down. Su Le was in so much pain that she could only squat like a toilet, her legs trembling. Chen Yao quickly took over Li Zichen's position and let him go out.

Li Zichen could only walk out silently and stand at the door, listening to Su Le crying inside, clenching his fists. After waiting for a long time, Chen Yao said to Li Zichen: "Okay."

Li Zichen finally opened the door, supported Su Le, and slowly walked to the bedside. Chen Yao lifted Su Le's legs, while Li Zichen supported Su Le's upper body, moving very carefully. Su Le was still in great pain.

The two children were hungry, so Li Zichen made milk for them. Su Fugui held his granddaughter and fed her, while Li Zichen held his younger brother and fed him.

It was a torture for Su Le every time he turned over, but when he saw his two children, he felt that all the pain was worth it. These were his own children, although they were born at 37 weeks and were still very small.

A week later, Jiang Liang drove his grandfather's car to pick them up. Su Le still needed help, so Jiang Liang quickly opened the car door, his eyes filled with nervousness. Su Fugui sat in the front, while Li Zichen and Chen Yao sat in the back, holding their two children.

Jiang Liang sent them to the residential complex. Jiang Liang hurriedly helped Su Le back home to lie down, while Yao Cuifang and her grandchildren helped with the cooking.

Jiang Liang returned to his home and moved the large crib he built next to Su Le's room.

Su Le said gratefully: "Thank you."

Jiang Liang waved his hand: "Why thank me? We are family."

Chen Yao found the quilt prepared by Su Le and spread it inside as a cushion. Only then did Li Zichen and Su Fugui put the two sleeping children in.

Jiang Liang left quickly, after all, it was not good to stay there alone.

Chen Yao sorted out the things she brought out from the ward, hand-washed the clothes and pants, and also hand-washed the two children's quilts and hung them up to dry.

Yao Cuifang bought two sets of small clothes from a maternity and baby store and showed them to Su Le: "Le Le, these are the clothes that Mom bought for my sister and my brother."

Su Le looked at the pink and blue ones and nodded: "Then I will thank their grandmother on behalf of the two children."

Several children gathered around the crib. Li Zichen asked them not to wake up their younger siblings and could only watch.

Several children nodded. They were the youngest in the family and now had younger brothers and sisters.

Chen Yao helped Yao Cuifang cut vegetables and cook. Yao Cuifang looked at her several times before saying, "Mother-in-law, I almost forgot I'm in the city. It's different from the village. Don't mind. Don't worry, I will definitely take care of them according to Lele's wishes in the future."

Seeing that everyone had said that, Chen Yao decided not to dwell on it any further. After all, Lele still had to get along with their family. "I spoke harshly at the time, please don't mind it."

Yao Cuifang quickly said, "No, no." The two of them cooked together. Li Zichen served a bowl to Su Le and brought it to the room. Su Le didn't have much appetite and didn't want to eat after just a few bites.

The two children started crying. Before Chen Yao and Su Fugui put down their chopsticks, Yao Cuifang ran into the room, picked up their elder sister, and Li Zichen quickly prepared milk powder. The two of them fed them. Yao Cuifang said to Chen Yao and Su Fugui, "You eat first. We'll come after we finish feeding them."

Chen Yao and Su Fugui quickly sped up and helped take over.

Yao Cuifang and Li Zichen burped the baby before handing him over to the parents and going out to eat.

Chen Yao said to Su Le who was lying on the bed, "Why don't you stay with us? We can take good care of you and help you at night."

Su Le pointed to the empty seat in front and said, "Come back to your room when you have time. You can stay here."

Chen Yao and Su Fugui nodded. In the afternoon, Su Le lay in bed reading a book. Four of them helped change and feed the two children, and a few other children also helped to throw away diapers.

After dinner, Yao Cuifang took the children back home, and Chen Yao and Su Fugui carried the crib to their own room.

Li Zichen wanted to stop him, but Chen Yao said, "If Lele needs to get up at night, you still need to take care of her. We can take care of the child."

Li Zichen nodded, Su Le was still more important.

Even with the added sound insulation, the house was still not very good. The sound of the child crying could be faintly heard in the master bedroom. Su Le and Li Zichen woke up immediately, and Li Zichen asked, "Wife, do you want to go to the bathroom?"

Su Le nodded, and Li Zichen carefully helped her to go to the toilet. Su Le half-squatted to go to the toilet, making a mess everywhere. It was really inconvenient without a toilet.

Li Zichen heard the sound of flushing before he went in and helped Su Le back to bed: "Wife, I'll take care of you tomorrow night, alternating with Dad and Mom."

After hearing this, Su Le nodded in agreement: "Okay."

Only then did Li Zichen hold Su Le in his arms and sleep.

Su Le didn't let Xu Hu and others come to see the child. He asked them to come back when the child was 100 days old, and not to hold a full-month celebration.

Several sisters-in-law occasionally came to visit the child. Yao Cuifang came to cook every day, doing as Chen Yao said, instead of making tonic soup. If the child cried during the day, she would rush over to feed, comfort, and change diapers.

Everyone warned Su Le not to bend over, as it would cause back pain. Whenever her child cried, she would call for help.

When Yao Cuifang was not around, Li Zichen, Chen Yao, and Su Fugui were all there. When they heard the noise, they came over and picked up the child. At night, the child kept crying, and Su Le was worried. She hurried to Chen Yao and Su Fugui's room. When Chen Yao saw her, she said, "The child must be bloated. It's okay. Just do some gas exercises during the day. I'll ask your father to hold the child in an airplane position. He will be fine soon. Go back to sleep quickly. We'll take care of it."

Su Le had no choice but to nod and watched the two of them walking back and forth in the room with the child in their arms, touching their stomachs from time to time. She didn't quite understand and could only go back to her room and lie down.
