Chapter 423 Twins, Confinement
"It's not hard. Where's the child?"
Signaling him to put her down, Shen Xiangwan grabbed a set of pajamas out of thin air and put them on. She really didn't feel any hardship during the whole process. After waking up, she had completely recovered. The only difference was that she had unloaded the goods and her stomach was empty.
"Congratulations, Master. Both of your little ones are very healthy. The boy is a brother, weighing three kilograms, and the girl is a sister, weighing two thousand five hundred grams."
As soon as he finished speaking, Number Three came over with a smile on his face, pushing a stroller. The two children had already fallen asleep. Although they were very small because they were only eight months old, they were both fair and clean, with thick black hair on their heads. They looked very cute and had perfectly inherited the appearance of their parents.
"Yeah?"
Shen Xiangwan picked up one of the children with a smile on her face: "Chengyi, look, he is the older brother, and he looks like you."
"Um."
Looking at them, Wei Chengyi also laughed. This was his and Wanwan's son, and they had their own bloodline.
It was not until Wei Chengyi took the child out that Zhao Yuping and the others knew that Shen Xiangwan had given birth. Everyone in the room was stunned. After they came to their senses, they hurriedly ordered the kitchen to stew a chicken. They went upstairs to see Shen Xiangwan. Seeing that her face was rosy and she had no fatigue and weakness after giving birth, they quietly felt relieved. The two children were loved by everyone in the family, including the little Tuanzi who had just turned one year old.
Upon learning that Shen Xiangwan had given birth, the Yan family, the branch family, the generals' families, and even Aunt Wang all came to congratulate. When they saw the fair-skinned brother and sister, they were all very adorable and praised Shen Xiangwan for being so lucky to have a son and a daughter in one pregnancy.
Confinement is very painful, especially now in July with the scorching sun. Shen Xiangwan couldn't stand it after just a few days. When no one was around, she would always act like a spoiled child and complain to Wei Chengyi, making him feel distressed.
In order to accompany her, Wei Chengyi even moved his desk into the bedroom. Whenever she had the slightest need, he would satisfy her first no matter how busy he was.
"Little Yanqing, little Yanyu, I'm your big brother. Can you grow up quickly? I'll play with you."
After returning from school at noon, the first thing the little cub did was to run to the second floor to see his younger brother and sister. The couple named the children Wei Yanqing and Wei Yanyu. They were too lazy to give them nicknames, so they just called them Little Yanqing and Little Yanyu. At this time, even though they were harassed by their older brother, the two children were still sleeping soundly, and would spit out milk bubbles from time to time. They were so cute.
"I knew you'd come here. Why don't you go downstairs and eat?"
Zhao Yuping came in from outside with a tray. She came to bring lunch to Shen Xiangwan and called the child downstairs. With him making so much noise next to her, how could Wanwan stay in peace during the confinement period?
"good."
The little cub responded obediently, and then climbed onto the crib to touch the white and tender faces of his brothers and sisters before reluctantly leaving. Zhao Yuping shook her head in amusement and brought the tray to Shen Xiangwan: "Eat the old hen stewed today while it's hot."
“···”
Couldn't she just forgive her?
Shen Xiangwan wanted to cry but had no tears. The postpartum meal was not suitable for human consumption. It didn't even taste salty. No matter how delicious the chicken soup was, she was about to vomit after eating it for half a month. If possible, she wanted to have a plate of cold spicy chicken, the kind with both spicy and numb flavors, to stimulate her taste buds that were about to become numb.
"You have to eat. Giving birth is very detrimental to your health. You have to make up for it during the confinement period."
She couldn't hide the disgust on her face. Zhao Yuping glared at her in a mocking manner, put down the tray, scooped out a bowl of stewed chicken and handed it to her.
"Cheng Yi..."
Shen Xiangwan looked at Wei Chengyi for help. Before he could respond, Zhao Yuping said, "It's no use calling Chengyi. If you don't want to eat by yourself, I don't mind feeding you."
"Forehead···"
His forehead darkened, and Shen Xiangwan took the bowl helplessly: "Isn't it okay for me to eat it?"
As she said that, she had to scoop up a piece of chicken with a spoon and put it into her mouth in front of her, chewing and swallowing almost numbly.
"You, don't be willful, we are all doing this for your own good."
Zhao Yuping poked her head in annoyance and prepared to leave. Before leaving, she reminded her worriedly: "Eat more. I need to check later."
"yes."
After a tired response, Shen Xiangwan resigned herself to her fate and continued to eat. When they were the only ones left in the room, Wei Chengyi sat over and took the bowl from her hand: "How about asking Number One to make you something delicious?"
He really couldn't bear to see her eating in such pain. Besides, he had also tasted the confinement meals prepared by his mother and others. They were really too bland. No one wanted to eat them a second time after having them once.
"Hmmmm."
Shen Xiangwan nodded hurriedly: "My husband still loves me the most."
As she said that, she leaned over and kissed him on the corner of his mouth. As a doctor herself, she naturally knew that childbirth was indeed very detrimental to the body, and that one should definitely take supplements if possible. However, they only put a tiny bit of salt in the stew, and it was completely tasteless. She really couldn't get used to it.
Rubbing her head lovingly, Wei Chengyi disappeared from the room with the chicken soup brought by Zhao Yuping. When he reappeared, the chicken soup was gone. Even the casserole and dishes were washed clean. When he went downstairs to eat, he took them down with him. With his indulgence, Shen Xiangwan finally didn't have to eat those saltless and tasteless things every meal. However, she was still in confinement after all, so Wei Chengyi didn't really let No. 1 prepare any heavy-flavored dishes for her. She still kept the dishes light, but not so bland.
Shen Xiangwan's birth was a big deal, so she sent someone to Yuzhou to announce the good news. When the person who announced the good news came back, he brought a lot of things, most of which were precious medicinal herbs, as well as gifts for the two children from Chu Liang and Liang Yuting, filling several large boxes.
At the same time, after taking Mingzhou, Yan Lang and his son went there personally to take charge and lead the people in planting potatoes. When they heard that the yield could reach more than 5,000 kilograms, the people of Mingzhou were extremely excited and worked very hard, wishing they could harvest the same day they planted.
In addition, Yan Lang also punished a large number of wealthy families who were unkind and confiscated all their property. The money was put into the government treasury, and the land was distributed to the people who had no land or relatively little land. This move undoubtedly won the support of the people of Mingzhou. In just over a month, they all supported the government and the Wei family army from the bottom of their hearts.
"They're coming down."
On August 7, Shen Xiangwan finally left the confinement room. Wei Chengyi and the others would be very busy and probably wouldn't have time to hold a hundred-day banquet for the children, so they simply held a full-month banquet first. When everyone saw the couple coming down from upstairs holding the children, they went to greet them. After a whole month of pampering, the two children had grown a lot, their faces had gained weight, their skin was white and glowing, and they looked even more adorable.
