Chapter 431 Going to see my best friend’s baby
Cen Lian'an had a normal birth and her baby was full-term. After staying in the hospital for three days, she started to ask to be discharged.
When Yun Zheng received the message, she was holding little Yun Shu in one hand and looking at other people's breastfeeding experiences shared on her phone with the other hand.
"Miss Cen is home?" Fu Linghe looked up from the pile of documents and saw Yun Zheng's eager expression. He immediately guessed her thoughts, "Do you want to go see her?"
Yun Zheng nodded and gently patted her sleepy daughter in her arms. "She must be suffocating. I want to take Xiaoshu and Ayi to see her little sister."
Fu Linghe closed his laptop and said, "I'll take you there."
"No need," Yun Zheng shook her head. "Don't you have a video conference this afternoon? I'll just have the driver take us."
Fu Linghe came over, took the already sleeping little Yunshu, and carefully placed her in the crib. "We have to wait until they wake up. If Xiaoshu doesn't get enough sleep, she'll probably make a fuss again."
Yun Zheng smiled and nodded, then bent down to tidy up her son's clothes.
——
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Yun Zheng finally got on the car to Cen Lian'an's house with her two babies.
"Diapers, wet wipes, spare clothes, bibs..."
Yun Zheng quietly counted the two safety seats in the back seat.
Xiao Yunshu and Xiao Yunyi were looking at the colorful toys hanging on the roof with their round eyes curiously.
"Madam, we're here." The driver stopped in front of a European-style villa, and the Jiang family's housekeeper came out to greet them.
"Mrs. Fu!" the housekeeper enthusiastically took the mother and baby bag. "Mrs. Fu has been waiting for you."
Yun Zheng carried out little Yun Yi first, and the confinement nanny followed with little Yun Shu.
As soon as I walked into the living room, I heard Cen Li'an's voice coming from the second floor, "Zheng Zheng! Come up directly, I'm in the baby room!"
In the baby room, Cen Lian was sitting in a rocking chair with a small baby in his arms.
Seeing Yun Zheng come in, her eyes lit up, "Let me see the two little babies!"
Yun Zheng placed her son on the soft blanket, and the confinement nanny also put down little Yun Shu.
The two little guys were lying there, their little arms and legs dancing non-stop.
Little Yunshu was particularly active, babbling and turning his little face towards the direction where the sound came from.
"Oh my god, they've already started to recognize me!" Cen Li'an exclaimed in surprise, then lowered his voice, "My little lazy bum, all he does is eat and sleep."
Yun Zheng smiled and sat down next to her best friend, carefully lifting a corner of the swaddling clothes.
The baby's rosy little face was revealed. He was sleeping soundly, and his little mouth was making sucking movements from time to time.
"I'm used to seeing these two. Suddenly, yours seems so small. But it's much bigger than when they were born."
Yun Zheng sighed softly, and suddenly remembered something, "Oh, right, have you decided on a name yet?"
Cen Li'an looked at his daughter tenderly, "Jiang Nian'an, nicknamed Nian Nian. Jiang Chenyu insisted on putting both his and my names in there. It's so unfashionable."
Yun Zheng chuckled, "That sounds pretty good. Aren't the two of us the same?"
The two new mothers smiled at each other.
At this time, Xiao Yunshu tried hard to turn sideways. Although he couldn't turn over yet, he was obviously very interested in the sounds and movements.
"Xiao Shu, do you want to see your sister?" Cen Li'an bent down and lowered his daughter. "This is your sister Nian Nian."
Yun Zheng held up her daughter's little head so that she could see the newborn.
Xiao Yunshu opened her big eyes, staring at the baby curiously, her little hands waving unconsciously.
"My sister is too young to play with you now."
Yun Zheng picked up her daughter and kissed her little face. "Would you mind waiting until Nian Nian is a little older?"
Little Yunyi was more interested in the rotating toy hanging from the ceiling and stared intently at the rotating pattern.
The confinement nanny stood by to prevent him from putting his little hands into his mouth.
"Your two are so worry-free." Cen Li'an said enviously, "Nian Nian was fussy until three in the morning last night, and Jiang Chenyu and I took turns holding her and comforting her, but it didn't work."
Yun Zheng took the baby from Cen Li'an's arms and expertly adjusted the baby's position. "It's always like this at the beginning. Xiao Shu also cried all night for the first two months. Ling He and I almost broke down."
Cen Li'an looked at her in surprise, "Mr. Fu will also collapse?"
"You didn't see what he looked like back then," Yun Zheng lowered her voice. "He came home from get off work and didn't even have time to change his clothes before he started coaxing the child. He was sitting on the floor in his suit, coaxing the child, and his tie was soaked with Xiao Shu's saliva."
As the two were talking, little Niannian suddenly twisted in Yun Zheng's arms, her little face wrinkled, and she was about to cry out.
"Are you hungry?" Yun Zheng judged with experience.
Cen Li'an nodded and reached out to take his daughter back, "Let me feed her."
Yun Zheng suddenly said, "Let me help you. You take a rest."
Seeing Cen Li'an's puzzled expression, she explained, "You just gave birth, and your waist will hurt if you sit to feed. Lie down, and I'll teach you how to feed while lying on your side. It will be much easier."
Cen Li'an's eyes lit up. "Is there such a thing? The nurse only taught me how to sit!"
Yun Zheng helped her adjust her posture and placed a pillow behind her back. "This way, the pressure on your waist is much less. If I hadn't learned this posture when feeding them, I would have collapsed from exhaustion."
As soon as little Niannian came into contact with her mother, she instinctively looked for food.
Cen Li'an hissed softly, "She still bit me so hard it hurt."
"Let me take a look." Yun Zheng checked. "Your latch isn't right. Let me help you."
Under Yun Zheng's guidance, Cen Lian adjusted several times and finally found the most comfortable posture.
Little Niannian sucked contentedly, and for a moment the only sound in the room was the baby's slight swallowing.
"Oh my god, it really doesn't hurt anymore!" Cen Lian said in surprise, "Zheng Zheng, you are simply my savior!"
Yun Zheng smiled as she sat on the carpet beside her, watching the two babies move around. "This is all from experience. I had it much worse than you back then. I had two babies taking turns feeding, with almost no time to rest."
Cen Li'an looked at her bestie distressedly, "Didn't Mr. Fu hire a lactation therapist to help you?"
"Yes," Yun Zheng said, wiping the saliva from her daughter's mouth. "But when it comes to breastfeeding, even if others provide guidance, the mother still has to bear the brunt of the hard work."
As she spoke, she took out a thermos bag from the mother and baby bag. "Oh, by the way, I brought you some lactation soup. I drink it every day. And this..."
She pulled out another small bottle. "Nipple cream. Much better than what the hospital gives you."
Cen Lian'an was so moved that his eyes turned red, "Zheng Zheng..."
"Stop," Yun Zheng interrupted her with a smile, "You can't cry during confinement."
After little Niannian had eaten, Yun Zheng taught Cen Lian how to burp.
Little Yunshu watched her mother's movements, babbling, and dancing her little hands and feet excitedly, as if she was imitating her mother, which made the adults laugh.
"Xiao Shu also wants to take care of his sister?" Cen Lian asked with a smile.
Little Yunshu made an "ah-wu" sound, and although he might not have fully understood what was said, his little look was so adorable.
Little Yunyi had no interest in all this. He stared intently at his little hands and put them in his mouth to taste them from time to time.
"Your little Yi will definitely be a top student in the future," Cen Li'an commented. "He's able to focus for so long at such a young age."
Yun Zheng looked at her son tenderly. "He's like Fu Linghe. He takes everything he does very seriously."
