Chen Hong laughed so hard. Zhou Yi has become silly since becoming a father. She wondered where his former shrewdness and wisdom had gone.

An'an is a very healthy baby. Chen Hong's breast milk is good, but he didn't drink a drop of the prepared formula.

On the first day, before his mother's milk came in, his grandmother tried to feed him water and formula, but he wouldn't drink a drop.

Once his mother's milk came in, little An'an refused to drink any formula at all. When the bottle was brought to his lips, he would even push it away with his tiny pink tongue. He's so young, but incredibly clever!

Throughout the entire breastfeeding period, An'an was exclusively breastfed. His grandmother always said, "This child is so lucky. Breast milk is so healthy, and it's just the right temperature. He can eat it right away when he's hungry, without having to wait for the adults to mix it with water and make formula."

It's just that Mom is exhausted, feeding the baby several times a day and not getting a full night's sleep.

Zhou Yi felt sorry for his wife and mother washing cloth diapers, so he suggested using disposable diapers for the baby. This would not only reduce the number of times they had to change cloth diapers each day, but also eliminate the need to manually wash cloth diapers.

Because of this, Zhou Yi was scolded by the old lady again. The old lady believed that although disposable diapers were convenient, they were not good for the baby's skin.

The elderly are worried about the hard stuff inside the diaper, believing it to be a chemical product and not as skin-friendly as fine cotton cloth, which is more comfortable for the child.

"It's just a handful of water. What do we do with the time we save? We take care of the new mother! The first month is the most important. Our task is to take good care of the baby and the new mother."

These fine cotton diapers are washed, boiled to sterilize, and dried thoroughly in the sun. They are completely free of germs, which is good for a baby's skin.

Those disposable diapers don't leak, but they're definitely not breathable either, and the baby would be uncomfortable wearing them. We won't use them.

The mother and daughter had different parenting philosophies, which led to a minor conflict. Chen Hong generally didn't interfere in their affairs, letting them discuss and resolve the issues themselves.

However, she had her own ideas. Since the child slept little during the day, she took her mother-in-law's advice and started using cloth diapers for the child.

At night, when her child sleeps soundly, she follows the advice of the I Ching and uses disposable diapers, changing them only once a night, so that An'an can sleep soundly until dawn.

To be honest, Zhou Yi's mother is a really good mother-in-law. Chen Hong didn't want to go to a postpartum care center or hire a postpartum nanny, and the old lady listened to her.

It wasn't that Chen Hong was unwilling to spend money, but rather that it was simply inconvenient! Living at home was so comfortable, and it was convenient and easy to occasionally tinker with some unremarkable items.

Chen Hong recovered remarkably quickly after giving birth to her second child. She walked back to her ward from the delivery room by herself after both births.

She was able to get out of bed and walk around on the first day after giving birth, and was discharged from the hospital on the third day. She could do anything without any problems.

According to her own idea, she doesn't need anyone to take care of the baby; she can manage on her own.

She knows her own body best. After giving birth, she was perfectly fine, and even her stomach shrank back to how it was before she was pregnant.

There was no trace of stretch marks, and although she no longer had abdominal muscles, her skin was still very smooth and firm.

Zhou Yi stayed at home for twenty days, before Chen Hong had even finished her postpartum confinement period, when he was recalled to the army.

Chen Hong didn't blame him. Although he didn't stay at home for long, he tried his best to take care of Chen Hong and the baby himself every day.

While Chen Hong was in postpartum confinement, he took over all of Yu Yang's life and studies. Throughout the holiday, Chen Hong felt that he was the most exhausted person in the family.

Learn to hold the baby, learn to burp the baby and lull the baby to sleep, learn to bathe the baby and feed the baby water, and learn to take care of the new mother and prepare postpartum meals.

When he's home, he washes the baby's diapers and everyone else's clothes, shoes, and socks.

He cleaned the house and went out to buy all the household necessities. In just twenty days, he became a qualified and all-around super dad.

Even the child's grandmother was surprised and secretly told Chen Hong, "I never expected Zhou Yi to be so meticulous and patient. Look at how he takes care of the child; he's just as good as a nanny."

An'an is such a caring child. She eats and sleeps well, is healthy and has no health problems whatsoever. She's such a blessing to our family!

Yes, An'an is also a very well-behaved child. She doesn't have jaundice, doesn't spit up milk, and doesn't fuss when she's sleeping. Except when she's hungry, thirsty, or needs to pee or poop, she cries a couple of times to call for help. Otherwise, she sleeps and plays as usual, which is especially endearing.

His grandma kept muttering, "Did this kid not drink the Meng Po soup before he was reincarnated? I feel like he's very sensible!"

He never cries, he just loves to laugh! He laughs when you tease him, but if you don't, he'll secretly chuckle to himself!

He's young, but quite shrewd. He knows to call for help beforehand when he needs to pee or poop. He won't pee unless his diaper is unpacked, but once it's unpacked, he pees a long way!

The mother and son laughed heartily when they thought about it. This child was really clever; every time he needed to pee, he would let out a couple of loud howls to call for an adult.

If an adult reaches between his legs to touch the diaper, it will definitely be dry. If you open the diaper at that moment, you'll be greeted by a puddle of a child's urine (his grandfather's words) to ward off evil spirits!

The arrival of our second child has brought a whole new level of entertainment to our family.

It's so funny to watch him cry; most of the time he's just wailing! This little baby, not even a month old, is already so cunning!

Look at his smile, it's so cute. This little guy has already mastered several different kinds of smiles.

Sometimes mischievous, sometimes happy, sometimes surprised, sometimes ingratiating, and sometimes even lewd!

The happiest thing for the family is watching their second child, interpreting his every move, and figuring out what meaning it might hold.

What he's thinking, what he wants, what he wants to express—it's all the more interesting to guess when we don't know or only have a vague understanding of it!

Zhou Yi: "Chen Hong, look, look! An'an is rolling his eyes at me! What do you think he means? Is he annoyed with me or does he despise me?"

Chen Hong: "How old is he? Those are all unconscious expressions. He can't even control his facial expressions, so what could they mean?"

You're overthinking it; those are just your own thoughts!

Zhou Yi did not believe Chen Hong's claims; he insisted that his baby was the smartest and cutest child in the world.

"Yu Yang, Yu Yang, look, An An is saying OK! Look how standard his gesture is!"

His wife shouldn't agree with him; there's still their eldest son at home! This son thinks the same way he does.

"Dad, it's true! An'an's OK sign is even cooler than mine! Quick, take a picture of him, he's so cool!"

Yu Yang really knows how to play the straight man for his dad!

"An'an was even secretly smiling to himself! He must really love our family!"

"Dad, An'an is so smart! He listens intently whenever I speak. He definitely remembers my voice and knows I'm his brother!"

Zhou Yi and Yu Yang would often stay by Erbao's crib, studying his every move.

"Look, this kid's sleeping posture is so funny, he's even surrendering! This won't do, how can our military children be in such a position?"

"Come on, baby, put your hands down. Oh yes, you can also hold your head; holding your head will protect it from injury."

"Dad, don't touch him! He'll wake up if you do! Mom will get angry with you again if she finds out!"

The father and son whispered to each other, like thieves.
