Chapter 427 Nickname: Zhuangzhuang
When Lin Anan woke up, the curtains in the ward were slightly opened, and the warm midday sun was shining through the gap onto the bed sheets.
The child was sleeping in the bed next to me, and I could see him by turning my head.
The baby smacked his lips as he slept, his little fists loosened and his palms facing upward, his thin blood vessels looking like light blue threads beneath his skin.
Chu Mingzhou was resting his chin on his hand, sitting on the edge of the bed, taking a nap. His military cap was buttoned on the bedside table, and there was a faint blue under his closed eyes.
Lin Anan moved her fingers, and her fingertips touched the thin calluses on Chu Mingzhou's palm.
The severe pain from last night's childbirth still lingered in her muscles and bones, like a long journey finally reaching the end, and the peaceful sleeping faces of the father and son in front of her made her suddenly feel that all the pain was worth it.
"Awake?" Chu Mingzhou woke up immediately and reached out to touch her forehead. "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
The red bloodshot under his eyes was as heavy as if they were covered with a layer of ink, and the stubble on his chin made him look a little disheveled.
Lin Anan shook her head and looked past him at the bed opposite.
The little guy seemed to sense his mother's gaze, and his little mouth pursed and he hummed like a kitten.
Chu Mingzhou immediately picked up the child. His movements were more skillful than yesterday. The swaddling clothes looked particularly small in his arms.
"Look at him," Chu Mingzhou said in a low voice with a smile, "He peed all over me when I changed his diaper this morning. He was like a little cannonball."
The baby's face seemed less wrinkled in the sunlight, and the curve of his nose was very similar to Chu Mingzhou's.
Lin Anan stretched out her finger and gently touched the child's cheek.
Her skin was as soft as freshly picked cotton balls, making her heart beat uncontrollably!
This is her blood-related child...
very nice!
"Where are my parents?"
"The guard went back with them. Mom said she was going to make some soup for you, and Dad was going to bring the cradle over.
Doctor Gu said that you are not in good health and you will have to stay in the hospital for at least a week."
Lin Anan nodded lightly.
As they were talking, Lin's father and mother just pushed the door open.
Mother Lin saw her daughter at a glance. Seeing that she was fine, she said happily: "An An, you're awake! Come on, mom made you some pigeon soup. This pigeon was brought by Captain Xu. Are you hungry?"
Lin Anan shook her head, "Mom, I don't have an appetite yet."
Father Lin instructed the guard to put the cradle to the right side of the bed. Seeing that the little guy had woken up, he hurried forward and said, "Let grandpa take a look at our eldest grandson... Oh, his eyes are open! He looks like An An, like An An!"
The baby was actually woken up by the noise. His black eyes rolled around and finally fell on Lin Anan's face. Suddenly, he opened his toothless mouth and revealed a vague smile.
"This child is so smart!" Lin's mother was so happy that she hurried to get a small towel to wipe Lin An'an's hands. "Doctor Gu said that you can get out of bed and walk around today. Mom will help you move a little later."
"good."
Gu Yan came in the afternoon.
Now there is a big problem and he needs to seek their opinions.
Lin Anan was unable to breastfeed her child, so her postpartum treatment plan had to be resumed.
After taking the medicine, the child will not be able to get breast milk from her.
If she doesn't take the medicine, her illness might return to its original state, and all her efforts for so long would be in vain.
"this……"
After discussion, the family decided to let Lin Anan continue with treatment.
"I'll ask your Aunt Luo to ask if there are any young wives in the compound who have newborn babies, and see if we can give them some money so that they can nurse Zhuangzhuang together."
Zhuangzhuang? ?
"If it really doesn't work, we can feed them with formula milk. The worst that can happen is that it's more expensive. But this formula milk... is hard to buy."
Gu Yan said softly, "If you need milk powder, I can ask my old classmates for help and buy the best imported milk powder."
"real?"
"Um."
"That's great!"
Lin's mother had anticipated this, so she brought the can of baby formula powder from home, and the little one had already had a drink of it.
"This child is well behaved and doesn't make noises. He eats whatever is given to him. It could also be that the milk powder is really fragrant."
Mother Lin said as she touched the little guy's belly and made him another cup of tea.
Put the pacifier to the baby's mouth, the little guy immediately opened his mouth and started sucking, with his little cheeks puffed up like a little hamster stealing milk.
After drinking the milk, he burped. Lin's mother quickly picked him up and patted his back. But the little guy suddenly turned his head and looked at Lin Anan with his black eyes. He looked so cute.
"Mom, why did you give the baby a nickname when you haven't even picked a full name yet?"
"Your mother just shouted that casually, don't listen to her." Father Lin quickly chimed in.
Mother Lin muttered, "It would be great if he was strong and solid. I wanted to call him Zhuangniu!"
“Hahahahahaha…”
Chu Mingzhou's eyes were full of smiles, "You can call your nickname Zhuangzhuang, if mom thinks it sounds nice, then it sounds nice.
As for the name, the child will be in the Rui generation, and the grandfather left the word Cheng for the child. "
"Chu Ruicheng."
Father Lin touched his chin and said, "Okay, this is a good name! Rui means auspiciousness and luck, and Cheng means responsibility. The eldest son should be responsible."
Mother Lin glared at him and said, "Look at how capable you are. An An hasn't even said anything yet!"
Seeing several pairs of eyes looking at her, Lin Anan blinked quickly, "Chu Ruicheng sounds nice, and it's the name my grandfather gave me. It's great! I have no objection."
Lin's mother continued to fight for a nickname for the child. She held the child in her arms and kept calling him "Zhuangzhuangzhuangzhuang", making everyone laugh.
"Mom, let's call him Zhuangzhuang."
"Okay~"
Chu Minglan and Chu Mingyu were brought here by Aunt Luo. When they entered the door, they just heard them calling Zhuangzhuang.
Chu Mingyu took two steps forward and exclaimed "Wow~" when he saw the baby, "Zhuang Ge'er, I'm your uncle, come on and call me uncle! Zhuang Ge'er is so cute~"
Chu Minglan's eyes sparkled. She glanced at the child and moved closer to Lin Anan. "Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I'll be able to go home in a few days."
"Okay, wait for sister-in-law to come home, I will make you something delicious."
"Thank you, Xiaolan."
Aunt Luo brought dinner to everyone. "Big sister, I have to ask you about that matter. Do you know Captain Wang of the Communications Company? His wife is willing to help breastfeed the baby. Just give her ten yuan a month.
She is in good health and has plenty of milk. She is the only girl in the family and she can’t feed them all. By the way, he lives in the tube building, on the same floor as your boy.”
Lin Anan immediately recalled, "Aunt, the Wang family's daughter-in-law you are talking about is a lathe operator in the textile factory, right?"
"Yes, it's her, Zhao Xiangjun! That young wife is quite nice, refined, and capable."
"Doesn't she work? Can she have time to help breastfeed the baby?"
"Yes, there is plenty of time! Her hand was injured by a machine some time ago, and her younger sister took over her job at the textile factory. Now she is focusing on nursing her child at home, and she is also worried about the loss of her income."
Lin Anan thought about it and felt that it was feasible and she could give it a try first. Ten yuan a month was not a lot, and she could give the people more food to replenish their bodies later on, which was definitely worthwhile.
Besides, since Aunt Luo can vouch for her character, she must be good.
Everything was going well here and everyone was in a good mood, but there was a commotion outside the door.
"Hurry, the woman is bleeding heavily, it's too late to bring her here, we need surgery right away!"
"Where's Doctor Li? This operation is tricky, call Doctor Li quickly."
"Where are the mother's family members? Get ready to sign immediately!"
"I didn't see any family members. The woman was brought here by a bullock cart. She was alone."
Everyone looked outside and Lin Anan saw a familiar face.
"This...Isn't this the young wife of the Wang family?" Lin's mother exclaimed.
Aunt Luo also recognized her. Seeing that she was covered in blood, she was terrified and hurriedly got up and left. "She is the commander of the 133rd Regiment of the Northwest Military Region, Chen Lei's daughter-in-law!"
"Are you from the military district?"
"I..." Aunt Luo turned her gaze to Chu Mingzhou.
Chu Mingzhou patted Lin Anan's hand, stood up, frowned and walked out.
