Before giving birth, Lin Meiyu prepared various small clothes and diapers for her child.
At that time, there was no emphasis on preparing special clothes for children of different genders. Boys might buy blue clothes and girls might buy pink clothes. Lin Meiyu always bought small clothes made of the softest cotton cloth from the supply and marketing cooperative.
After these clothes were made, Lin Meiyu rubbed them repeatedly with her hands, then washed them clean with water and placed them in the sun. They were not well exposed to the sun and are now very soft when worn.
Tian Tian felt that Lin Meiyu had put a lot of thought into these clothes. The fabric was soft and comfortable. Lin Meiyu even sewed all the thread ends onto the outer clothes. There was no embroidery on the edges. It was just an ordinary piece of clothing. She ensured that the children would be extremely comfortable when wearing it.
But Lin Meiyu still felt a little regretful and thought that she should just take the clothes of the other children at home and give them to Tian Tian's child.
Although the clothes in the house have been worn for many years, it is precisely because they have been worn for many years that they are most suitable for children. This is why a piece of clothing will be worn by several children.
"There are still a lot of diapers at home, just take them back!"
Tian Tian was speechless after hearing this. Clothes were fine, but those diapers were stained with excrement, and Tian Tian didn't dare to use them on her own child.
"We have enough diapers at home. There's no need to bring any more here. If you bring too many, we won't be able to use them when the time comes, and they'll just take up space!" said Tian Tian.
The diapers were also prepared by Ge Huiyun and Lin Meiyu long in advance. They had a lot of them, so there was no shortage of diapers for Gu Weian.
So Lin Meiyu gave up the idea, and now Gu Zhao took out all the small clothes and diapers and put them in the cabinet beside the bed.
"Hurry up and lie down on the bed and rest for a while. I will take care of the child from now on. You should take good care of yourself during this confinement period." Gu Zhao held the child in one hand and supported Tian Tian with the other. He watched Tian Tian take off her coat and then lie down on the bed.
When Tian Tian was lying on the bed, she breathed a sigh of relief. Lochia kept flowing from her lower body, so Tian Tian simply didn't wear pants and put her homemade maternity pad under her body.
I was happy that I didn't have to have my period during the ten months of pregnancy, but the suffering of my period was nothing compared to the suffering during the pregnancy. And after giving birth, I had my period all at once. Tian Tian was not like this before, lying naked in the bed bleeding.
Tian Tian covered herself with a small pad between the quilt and her body to prevent the blood from getting on to the quilt.
After everything was packed up, Tian Tian closed her eyes peacefully and prepared to sleep. Perhaps because the environment and atmosphere of the home made her too familiar, Tian Tian quickly fell into a dream.
When she woke up again, Tian Tian was awakened by the crying of a child. She opened her eyes in a daze, and there was no one in the room. The crying of a child also came from the living room. It should be that they were afraid that the child would disturb Tian Tian, so they took the child away.
Hearing the sound of the baby crying outside, one after another, just like a little lamb, Tian Tian felt a little distressed and shouted outside: "Is the child hungry? Bring the child in, I will feed her!"
Not long after, Gu Zhao brought the child in and placed her next to Tian Tian. "I was going to make her some milk powder, but you woke up before I even started?"
"From now on, I will feed the baby during the day, with the milk powder and other things. You can feed her at night when you are taking care of the baby. I won't take care of her anymore!" Tian Tian said.
"Okay, I know!" They had discussed this matter in advance, and Gu Zhao knew it in his heart. "I just saw you sleeping soundly, so I wanted you to sleep a little longer. Fortunately, we still have milk powder at home, so I thought of making some for her to drink."
Tian Tian lifted her clothes to feed the baby. Because there was something in her stomach, Gu Weian soon stopped crying.
After Gu Weian had finished drinking, Gu Zhao took the child over to burp him. Lin Meiyu also came in and asked Tian Tian, "What do you want to eat tonight? Tell me and I'll make it for you!"
There was no shortage of food at home. Before Tian Tian gave birth to her child, Ge Huiyun sent a lot of things to the family, such as peach gum, rice wine, bird's nest, and she also bought a lot of chickens, packed them up and brought them back, and froze them in the refrigerator, waiting for Tian Tian to eat them during her confinement.
Tian Tian thought for a while. She didn't have much appetite now. "I want to eat some stir-fried vegetables, an egg cake, or something light!"
She was a little worried that Lin Meiyu wouldn't cook for her, so she wanted to make chicken soup for her to nourish her body. Unexpectedly, Lin Meiyu agreed readily after hearing that. "Okay, you just want to eat these, right? I'll make it for you right away. Do you want me to cook you some millet porridge as well?"
“Okay!” Tian Tian agreed. The millet is especially delicious nowadays. Put it in the pot and slowly cook it. A thick layer of rice oil will be boiled on the top. Stir it and mix it with rice grains to eat. It is fragrant and sticky.
Lin Meiyu quickly went to cook for her. She was very skillful and what Tian Tian wanted to eat was not particularly complicated. The millet porridge had been cooked early in the morning and was waiting for Tian Tian to eat, so the meal was quickly served on the table.
Tian Tian originally had no appetite, but when she saw the steaming food, her appetite was aroused and she ate all the food that Lin Meiyu served her.
After finishing the meal, Tian Tian still felt a little reluctant to eat. When Lin Meiyu came in to collect the dishes, she said, "That's enough. Eating too much is not good for your health."
Tian Tian always felt like there was something missing in her stomach, and she was a little unhappy after hearing this. She wasn't full yet, and she was bleeding and being fed with milk. How could she not replenish her body a little more?
Tian Tian was about to open her mouth to protest, but she heard Lin Meiyu say, "Your old lady brought you so many good things, bird's nest, peach gum, and fermented rice. I cooked you a fermented rice egg, and you'll be almost full after eating a bowl of that!"
Tian Tian immediately swallowed what she was about to say. When Ge Huiyun sent these things over, she had discussed with Lin Meiyu how these things were made, so the fermented rice wine eggs made by Lin Meiyu tasted pretty good.
Tian Tian was originally not used to the taste of fermented glutinous rice, but unexpectedly, after giving birth, her taste might have changed a bit. She actually liked it very much and quickly ate a big bowl of it.
The hot fermented rice wine entered Tian Tian's stomach, making her whole body warm.
"It's so delicious!" After swallowing the last mouthful of fermented rice wine, Tian Tian put the bowl on the table and let out a long breath.
