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...
Just getting Liu Lan dressed in her pajamas exhausted Yu Hai! The key issue was that caring for a new mother was difficult; too gentle or too harsh a touch was not an option, and he didn't have the strength to do anything about it.
Liu Lan had just undergone surgery, and she still had IV lines, pain relief pumps, and a urinary catheter inserted into her body, making it very difficult for her to get dressed.
It took a lot of effort to finally put on the shirt, which was loose and baggy.
This also made Liu Lan and Yu Hai break out in a sweat. The new mother was bleeding heavily, and soon a large stack of toilet paper was soaked.
Despite his shame, the grown man hurriedly folded the toilet paper under Liu Lan's guidance, and the two of them worked together to change Liu Lan's pad.
Looking at the toilet paper and his own hands, both stained with blood, Yu Hai felt extremely uncomfortable and awkward.
He felt sorry for his wife who had suffered so much, but he was also very reluctant to admit it.
As a salesman who frequently travels for work, he heard from others that getting tainted with blood would bring bad luck.
His career had just started to take off, and the whole family depended on him for money to feed and care for them!
He couldn't let his luck run out, so he put the dirty paper in a basin and covered it with Liu Lan's dirty clothes.
I sneaked into the bathroom to empty the toilet paper, then washed my clothes, and scrubbed my hands with soap several times, washing them carefully and thoroughly.
On my way back, I'll stop by the fabric store and buy two feet of red cloth to tie around my waist as a belt. That should have the effect of warding off evil spirits!
I remember Chen Hong's mother often talked in a strange and eccentric way, sewing red cloth scraps onto the men in the family and tying red belts around their waists.
Whether it works or not, at least it can give me some peace of mind!
I sneaked into the bathroom to empty the toilet paper, then washed my clothes, and scrubbed my hands with soap several times, washing them carefully and thoroughly.
Back in the ward, his mother-in-law and father-in-law hadn't returned yet. Yu Hai couldn't contain his resentment; he wondered where he'd gotten his lunch.
We brought her here to take care of her daughter during her postpartum period, not for her to come and enjoy a retirement trip. Once she leaves the house, she never consciously comes home.
I didn't have much money, and I don't know what the old lady was wandering around outside for!
After serving Liu Lan, they wiped her face and washed her hands. Since she couldn't pass gas and couldn't drink water, they moistened her chapped lips with a cotton ball dipped in warm water.
Hearing her soft moans and groans of pain, Yu Hai felt both annoyed and heartbroken.
How could I be resistant to anesthesia? The pain pump wasn't very effective. The doctor said that once the anesthesia wears off after the pump is removed, the pain will be even worse.
Yu Hai couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. The child was still in the incubator. If the child were discharged from the hospital, the house would be in complete chaos with the child crying and the adults yelling!
Because the hospitalization was rushed, there were still many things that hadn't been prepared, so Liu Lan asked Yu Hai to take some time in the afternoon to go out and buy them.
Yu Hai quickly found paper and pen and began to write: a basin for washing bottoms, a basin for washing underwear, a basin for catching the toilet, and a few more towels, each with a different use.
We need to buy another bottle, as we need separate ones for water and milk; we also need smaller diapers and baby wipes.
Three baby bibs, diaper pads, and three adult diaper pads for Liu Lan. Also, three baby-specific plastic basins.
A whole bunch of random thoughts. Yu Hai had a splitting headache, but he endured it for a long time before finally asking Liu Lan:
"You haven't been to work for two months, and you and your mother have been idle at home every day. Why didn't you buy all these things sooner?"
"How am I, a grown man, supposed to know what to buy? I've never even seen any of these things before!"
Liu Lan said irritably, "I was thinking that it's only seven or eight months, and there's still a long way to go before I give birth!"
I almost miscarried. For the past month or so, I've been focused on protecting the pregnancy and haven't dared to go out or squeeze onto public transportation to buy anything.
"Your dad and mom are no good, if you don't go buy it, who will?"
At this point, Yu Hai suddenly remembered something: "Why did you suddenly go into premature labor today? You were fine when I left this morning."
Didn't the doctor say that this pregnancy was very successful and that I would definitely be able to give birth at full term?
"Did your mom do something to you again? I asked her about it, and she hesitated and her expression was off!"
Chen Hong closed her eyes and groaned softly, "It had nothing to do with my mother. I was just taking a walk downstairs when I heard someone telling me something strange, and I got scared."
On my way home, I lost focus and strained my back, then my stomach started hurting and I leaked amniotic fluid!
Yu Hai said angrily, "If you want to take a walk, then go for a walk. Why are you always following your mother and getting involved with the old ladies?"
Those people do nothing but compare themselves to others and gossip; what interesting things do they have to tell you?
Seeing Liu Lan half-asleep, Yu Hai went to the corridor to call his mother-in-law.
"Mom, where are you? Come back quickly after you finish eating. Liu Lan has a stomachache, and I can't change her toilet paper and wipe her body by myself!"
After hanging up the phone, Yu Hai saw from the door that the medicine in the IV bottle could not be changed for another half hour, so he quickly ran to the pediatric ward.
First, check on the child, then find the father. A father-in-law really shouldn't stay in his daughter-in-law's hospital room.
His father can't just stay here forever; he hasn't even had lunch yet. We can't let the old man go hungry!
When they arrived at the pediatric ward, his father was watching through the glass window as the doctors and nurses fed, burped, and changed diapers for the babies in the incubators.
In the corner next to them, two nurses were bathing and weighing the children.
Look at these professionals, they have at least a dozen babies under a month old in this room, their cries as weak as kittens'.
The four medical staff took excellent care of the children, handling tasks like wiping their poop and changing their diapers quickly and efficiently.
They also bathed and checked the children's health. The children felt very comfortable and clean here, and they slept well.
