Chapter 215 Taking Care of Postpartum Women (Part 3)

For the next five days, the entire commune raced against time to harvest the rice, and even children as old as Sanni had to go to the fields to help.

With her gone, there was no one left to take care of Li Chunhua, who had just given birth.

So at lunchtime, Ma Xiulian assigned tasks to Chen Xiaobao at the table: "Your older brothers and sisters will all be going to work in the fields later. You are the eldest of the remaining children. Your mother just gave birth yesterday and is still weak, so you will stay home and help take care of your mother and younger brother."

Chen Xiaobao was naturally unwilling, but looking at his grandmother's stern face, he could only nod reluctantly and say "Oh".

These are chores that only girls should do! He won't do them!

So once the adults went to the fields, he completely forgot about the matter, ran out of the house to play by himself, and completely forgot about his own mother, Li Chunhua.

Li Chunhua just gave birth yesterday, and she is still very weak and powerless. The main problem is that she can't move her lower body; even the slightest movement causes her severe pain.

It was a hot summer day, and she got thirsty after lying down for a short while. So she called out to the door, "Sanni, I want some water!"

After waiting for a long time without anyone coming in, he immediately cursed, "You brat, where have you been running around off to?!"

Then she called Si Ni, and even Helian Jiao twice, but no one came in to pay attention to her no matter how much she shouted.

"Where have all the people gone?!"

Helian Jiao went to Gu Tingyun's house to eat and drink, and Si Ni also took Liu Ni out to play. Now only she and her newborn son were left at home, so even if she shouted until her throat was hoarse, no one would hear her.

Moreover, after shouting for a while, my throat was even drier, and it was difficult to even swallow saliva.

Unfortunately, the tea was all in a corner, so she had to walk over there herself if she wanted some.

Li Chunhua was so thirsty that her throat was parched, so she forced herself to get out of bed and walk to the table, only to find that the teapot was empty, not a drop of water in it!

She was furious, aggrieved, and desperate. Gritting her teeth, she cursed, "You damned good-for-nothing! Are you trying to kill your mother with thirst?!"

She blamed everything on Sanni, calling her an ingrate just like that little monster!

They shouldn't have given birth to those two!

At this moment, the younger son, who had been sleeping, started crying again.

Li Chunhua immediately turned back to hug her son, but she walked too fast and aggravated her wound, causing her to wince in pain.

But she quickly picked up her son and breastfed him: "Oh, our Jinbao is hungry~"

Jinbao refused to drink and instead cried even louder.

So she reached out and touched the baby's swaddling clothes, only to find that the baby had wet himself.

She rummaged through the cabinet and found a new diaper, then slowly changed it on her son.

After changing the diaper, I held her in my arms and coaxed her for a long time before she finally fell asleep again.

By this time, Li Chunhua was exhausted. She lay on the bed, feeling completely drained, hoping that her mother-in-law and the others would return soon.

She held on like this until evening, when Chen Jianye returned. Li Chunhua, who was so thirsty she was almost collapsing, finally got a sip of water, but she choked on it because she drank it too quickly.

"Cough cough cough cough!"

Seeing that his wife had no one to even offer her a sip of water, it would be a lie to say that Chen Jianye wasn't distressed: "Why are you so thirsty? Isn't Xiaobao at home taking care of you?"

Li Chunhua gets angry whenever this matter is brought up.
