Opening her eyes, Chen Hong was reborn. She was reborn just before she was about to take her children back to her parents' home. Not wanting to live a life of looking at others' faces for a...
Yu Hai and Yu Zhaohua felt nauseous upon hearing this and didn't even dare to look at it. Making dumplings! What kind of people are these?!
After bowing and scraping as they saw the doctor and nurse off, the three of them returned to their benches and sat down, none of them thinking to check on the child.
Suddenly, Liu Lan's mother nudged Yu Hai, "Yu Hai, everything's alright now. It's getting late, go buy some food!"
Yu Hai looked at his mother-in-law with some surprise: "Mom, didn't you hear what the doctor said? Liu Lan will be out of the operating room in about ten minutes. With all that carrying and moving, how can I leave?"
Please bear with it for now. I'll buy you food after I take Liu Lan back to her ward.
If you have some free time, why don't you go see the child at the pediatrics department? We haven't even seen the child yet; we were just too busy asking about Liu Lan.
You should have gone with us to check; we've completely forgotten about the child! What if someone switched the babies? We wouldn't even know.
"How could you possibly have switched babies? You must watch too much TV! Newborn babies don't look like anything, they're not pretty at all. Who would steal a baby?"
Besides, there are so many doctors and nurses, and they won't let us hold them. What's the point of looking at them more or less?
Anyway, it changes every few days, we can't even recognize it. The doctor just said it weighs a few kilograms, but how many pounds exactly?
Upon hearing this, Old Man Yu said weakly, "It should be 2,350 grams. Yu Hai, you calculate how many kilograms that is. I just glanced at the child."
She doesn't look like you at all, nor does she look much like Liu Lan. She wasn't born at full term, so she's not very pretty.
But the doctor said it's grown out and will look better once some flesh is added! I'll go see which room the baby is in; anyway, Liu Lan won't need me when she comes out.”
"Four pounds and seven ounces! That's a good weight, especially for a premature baby."
The mother-in-law suddenly remarked, "Seven out of seven, they'll live; eight out of eight, they won't. This child won't be easy to raise!"
Yu Hai: Is this child so unpopular? He's a boy, after all!
Neither Yu Zhaohua nor his father paid any attention to her; the old man simply got up and left.
Yu Hai looked at his mother-in-law waiting at the door with an unhappy expression, then at his father's departing figure, and stared blankly.
When other families have a son, everyone is overjoyed, but in their own family, the faces are gloomy. If Liu Lan came out to see this, she would definitely wonder what happened to the child!
The more he looked at her, the more upset he became. Looking at the blockhead in front of him, Yu Hai had no choice but to take out a hundred yuan and hand it to his mother-in-law, saying, "Mom, why don't you go out and get something to eat first?"
After you finish eating, bring some back for me and Dad too. Liu Lan just had surgery, so she definitely can't eat anything right now. Don't buy her anything yet.
"Okay, then you wait here patiently. I'm going to eat first. I'm getting old, and I really can't stand being hungry. I'm so hungry right now that I'm feeling really anxious!"
He took the money, picked up his things, and left in a hurry!
Yu Hai shook his head helplessly. What sins had Liu Lan and he committed to deserve such a mother?
The son is unlucky to have such an unreliable mother!
Seeing her behavior, Yu Hai suddenly didn't dare to leave the child in her care!
How can someone who doesn't even care about his own children expect his mother-in-law to take good care of his youngest son?
It's obvious that it's absolutely impossible!
But Dad's health isn't good, and he can't take care of a baby by himself! If all else fails, Liu Lan will have to quit her job and stay home to take care of the child.
After a few years, when the child starts kindergarten, Liu Lan can go back to work.
Yu Hai suddenly realized that the days had come full circle, and he had unknowingly returned to the starting point.
This must be the price you have to pay for having children and becoming parents!
Fortunately, his salary has increased several times over. After paying the mortgage, he should have enough left to live on. He can support a family of four on his own.
Liu Lan was wheeled out, and the nurse saw that he was the only one left at the door. "Liu Lan's family member, why are you all alone? There are too few of us. The three of us can't move the pregnant woman!"
"Never mind, let's talk about it in the ward! There are other mothers' families there; we can ask someone for help then!"
Seeing his troubled expression, the nurse didn't say anything more. She, along with a doctor and Yu Hai, pushed Liu Lan back to her ward.
There were three beds in the ward, but embarrassingly, only one male family member was there. The other bed was occupied by the new mother's mother-in-law, a rather thin old lady.
The new mother had just come out of the operating room, still naked, covered only by a sheet. When changing beds, the entire bed had to be lifted up, including the mattress on the pulley, and moved to the hospital bed.
This task would have required at least five people to complete. Fortunately, the nurse was very helpful and went to the next ward to call two family members to help, which allowed them to safely lift Liu Lan onto the hospital bed.
I bowed and shook hands, and with deep gratitude, I saw off the two kind family members next door and the doctor who brought the patient from the operating room.
Only after things calmed down did the attending physician check the data on various instruments, give the doctor's instructions, and then leave.
Only then did Yu Hai realize that he was in trouble!
Having a child is not the end after giving birth; rather, it is the beginning after giving birth.
Help the new mother with personal hygiene, including washing her hands and face, wiping her body, and putting on loose pajamas.
This also includes changing toilet paper for new mothers, washing their underwear, and helping them wash their bottoms with diluted water.
My mother-in-law went out and never came back, and I don't know where she ate her lunch.
Shouldn't she be the one to wipe his/her bottom, change the toilet paper, and wash his/her underwear?
