Chapter 133 Triplets, Two Dragons and One Phoenix
Zhou Yong finally made up his mind. He slowly opened the door of the west room and strode into the house.
Li Caiyun's face was pale, and she closed her eyes weakly. Old Mrs. Qin was stunned by Zhou Yong's intrusion.
Zhang Guifang said hurriedly: "Get out quickly, don't come in and cause trouble."
Zhou Yong's heart was filled with worry, but he knew he had to remain calm.
Ignoring everyone's obstruction, he gently stroked Li Caiyun's cheek and whispered her name.
Gradually, Li Caiyun's eyes opened slightly, and the moment she saw Zhou Yong, she showed a tired smile.
Zhou Yong tidied up her messy hair, while Zhang Guifang and Li Baoshan's wife pulled him out.
"Xiaoyun, don't give up."
Li Caiyun shed tears silently, and her tears burned Zhou Yong's heart.
He wiped his wife's tears, bent down and kissed her forehead, and whispered in her ear: "We agreed to grow old together, and to have many children and grandchildren, so you must stick to this goal."
Li Caiyun stared at Zhou Yong with bloodshot eyes. She sniffed and said, "But I really don't have the strength anymore."
Zhou Yong's heart trembled, Zhang Guifang and Li Baoshan's wife were still pulling him.
But he did not move, and he kept saying words of encouragement to Li Caiyun, hoping that she could give birth to her third child safely.
"Oh my god, Zhou Yong, please get out of here. The longer the baby stays in your belly, the more dangerous it will be..."
The affection between the two finally made Old Lady Qin unable to bear it anymore, and she directly asked Zhou Yong to leave.
But Zhou Yong didn't want to leave. He wanted to stay with his wife. However, in those days, there was no such thing as men accompanying their wives during childbirth, and men were not allowed to enter the delivery room.
Zhou Yong left the west room reluctantly. Li Caiyun stared at the roof, and the words Zhou Yong said to her echoed in her mind over and over again.
With everyone's encouragement, Li Caiyun tried her best and finally gave birth to her third child.
"Colorful clouds?"
The moment the child was born, Li Caiyun fainted due to exhaustion.
Zhang Guifang was so nervous that she rushed to her daughter to feel her breath.
Seeing that Li Caiyun was still breathing, Zhang Guifang sat down on the kang in shock.
Old Mrs. Qin shook her head and cleaned Li Caiyun's lower body. It was already dawn when she finished these things.
Li Caiyun slept for two days and two nights, and only opened her eyes on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Zhou Yong. Li Caiyun was stunned for a moment, and her memory slowly returned to her. She suddenly sat up.
"Where are the children?"
Zhou Yong smiled and helped her lie down: "The child is in the east room!"
She wanted to rest, so Zhou Yong took all the children to the east room so that their crying would not disturb her.
Li Caiyun had just laid down and was about to get up again, but was pushed back by Zhou Yong.
"Is the child okay?"
She asked this question carefully, her heart filled with nervousness and anticipation.
Zhou Yong pursed his lips and the smile on his face faded a little.
The children are alive, but not in good condition.
After all, they are premature babies and triplets, so whether they can survive depends on God's will.
Such cruel words made Zhou Yong, as her husband, unable to bear telling Li Caiyun the truth.
"The child is fine!"
He could only say this, otherwise Li Caiyun would be very sad.
Li Caiyun observed the expression on Zhou Yong's face, and the smart girl saw a clue.
"Bring the child here for me to see."
Zhou Yong knew that some things could not be hidden: "Okay."
When Li Caiyun saw her three children, her heart suddenly became heavy.
The three children were weak and small, each weighing only about four pounds.
In an instant, her heart was in a knot, her eyes turned red and she started crying.
The three children could have come into the world healthy, but because of an accident, they were born prematurely.
Zhang Guifang wiped her daughter's tears: "Crying during the confinement period hurts your eyes, stop crying now."
Zhou Yong pursed his lips, feeling unhappy. He forced a smile and said, "Xiao Yun, are you hungry? I'll bring you some food."
Li Caiyun’s confinement meals were not just millet porridge and white eggs, but also chicken soup prepared by Zhou Yong for her.
In addition to the old hen, Zhou Yongbaba went to the commune and bought a lot of ingredients suitable for eating during the confinement period.
After Zhou Yong reminded her, Zhang Guifang realized that her daughter had not eaten.
She turned around to serve the meal, but Li Caiyun had no appetite at all.
Zhang Guifang felt sorry for her daughter: "Caiyun, you have to eat. If you don't have milk, the child will suffer..."
Li Caiyun looked at the three extremely weak children with a sad face, feeling sad and helpless inside.
She forced herself to eat two bowls of porridge and two eggs, without drinking a single sip of chicken soup.
Zhou Yong knew that she was suffering from a fever, but with the current medical level, it would be useless even if the child was sent to the hospital.
Li Caiyun only remembered to ask the gender of the three children after she had finished her meal.
Two dragons and one phoenix, the girl is the eldest.
It was supposed to be something to be happy about, but at this moment Li Caiyun couldn't laugh no matter what.
With a creaking sound——
The door of the west room was opened, and Zhao Chunhua and Miao Jinfeng came in.
Li Caiyun smiled when she saw them. The two of them warmed themselves by the fire to dispel the coldness from their bodies, and then came to the edge of the kang to check on the child.
The three little ones were all sleeping. Zhao Chunhua looked at them and said, "Caiyun, the children are weak, so it's best to hold them in your arms..."
There are cases of premature babies surviving successfully, but most of them are weak. Zhao Chunhua told Li Caiyun and others what happened to her own family.
Zhang Guifang frowned when she heard this: "Will this work?"
Zhao Chunhua smiled bitterly: "Aunt, let's try it out. It's better than being helpless like this."
Miao Jinfeng agreed: "That's right, what if this method works?"
Zhou Yong, who was sitting nearby, kept searching his mind for memories, but unfortunately he knew very little about this matter.
Zhou Yong also asked Doctor Shen and went to the county hospital, but the doctors were helpless in dealing with the situation.
Li Caiyun's eyes were a little dull and she looked very bad.
The three little guys woke up with a grunt, bringing Li Caiyun back to her senses.
"Is the baby breastfed?"
Under normal circumstances, babies are fed sugar water for the first three days after birth. It is said that if a baby starts eating milk too early, he will be eager to eat. There is no medical basis for this, but it is a rule passed down from generation to generation.
Zhang Guifang took over the conversation and said, Li Caiyun had just woken up for over an hour and the three children had not yet started feeding!
Zhao Chunhua thought for a while and said, "Aunt, let's give the child milk. They are weak to begin with, and it will be good for the child to have more milk..."
Zhang Guifang thought the same, and didn't care about the fact that her child started breastfeeding early or was in a hurry.
Seeing this, Zhou Yong took out the bottle and milk powder he had prepared in advance, which stunned Zhao Chunhua and Miao Jinfeng.
In those days, a bag of milk powder cost two yuan and a milk bottle cost fifty cents, which most people could not afford.
The most important thing was that Zhou Yong took out three milk bottles, which made Zhao Chunhua and Miao Jinfeng look envious.
What they didn't know was that Zhou Yong took advantage of Chen Pingliang's back door and bought ten bags of milk powder.
Li Caiyun was also stunned for a moment when she saw the milk powder and bottle that Zhou Yong took out, but she said nothing.
Zhang Guifang frowned slightly: "It's better for the child to eat breast milk."
That being said, there are three children after all. What if Li Caiyun doesn’t have enough milk?
Zhou Yong prepared the items, so at least he didn't have to grope around blindly.
However, what no one expected was that Li Caiyun's milk supply increased, and because she had a fever after waking up, she had no milk at all...
