On this day, the delivery room of the People's Hospital became the busiest place in the entire hospital.
Not only did all the chief doctors of the hospital come to visit, but also Chen Xia's direct troops and young doctors from various departments came to congratulate "Mr. Chen".
In the evening, Secretary Li, Commissioner Han, Deputy Commissioner Zhang and other regional leaders came to visit the hospital, followed by leaders from sister hospitals and a group of pharmaceutical companies.
Everyone did not come in vain, and they all took red envelopes and gifts. This is the custom in Yuezhou. Dean Gu and Chen Xia did not refuse. After all, it was a normal social interaction, and they would have to return the favor when others encountered weddings or funerals in the future.
Even Jiang Xiaoju appeared outside the ward cautiously, looking very reserved. The poor daughter who had committed suicide at the hospital gate has now become a formal employee of the People's Hospital.
Moreover, she managed the canteen of the guesthouse in an orderly manner, with sales and profits increasing every quarter, which always made Chen Xia very satisfied.
As I said, only when you work hard can others help you. Section Chief Chen likes this kind of self-reliant girl.
Jiang Xiaoju brought a basket of eggs and a red envelope, and she insisted on giving it to the person she considered her benefactor, who had no choice but to accept it.
Chen Xia also accepted it generously. He was not looking for the red envelope, but it was really a kind gesture from her. If he didn't accept it, the girl would definitely be sad and upset when she returned home.
There is a long way to go, I will pay it back slowly in the future.
After group of visitors left, my family was the only one left in the ward.
Dean Gu, Chen Defa and Chen Yigen were happily chatting about something. Chen Chun and Zheng Haisheng also rushed back from the provincial capital and were looking at the three children in the incubators with Chen Qiu and Chen Dong.
Chen Dong looked at his eldest brother, then at his eldest sister-in-law, and then looked carefully at the three little babies, comparing them to see who he looked more like.
Mother Gu smiled and asked, "Xiaodong, do you think your three nephews and nieces look more like their father or their mother?"
Chen Dong thought for a while and said, "I think she should look more like my sister-in-law, so that the baby will be good-looking when he grows up. If he looks like my brother, then it will be a disaster."
Hehehe, a burst of laughter came from the ward.
Gu Lin raised an eyebrow at her brother-in-law. "Fourth brother is really good at talking. No matter how badly you do on the test this semester, I won't allow eldest sister and second brother to scold you."
This time the laughter was even louder.
In the last semester's exam, Chen Dong ranked 45th out of 50 students in the class. Chen Chun and Chen Xia were so angry that they almost poked his forehead.
For poor students, the transcript is a thorn in their side that they can never get over.
Chen Shuqin suddenly asked, "Xiao Xia, have you chosen a name for the baby?"
When everyone heard this, they pricked up their ears. Naming is something that everyone likes.
Chen Xia scratched his head. Naming was not his strong point, otherwise he would not have named the company "Pumpkin Vine", a very earthy name.
"How about, how about the eldest brother be called Chen Yiyi, the second brother be called Chen Erer, and the third brother be called Chen Sansan?"
The great grandfather and the father-in-law exclaimed at the same time: "Not very good! How can you name it so casually?"
Mother Gu also rolled her eyes: "What kind of name did you give your child? You will never be able to call him by his name again."
"Uh, isn't this a good name? Great Grandpa, Dad, what do you think is a good name?"
"There's no rush. I need to go back and read some books carefully. I also need to get my fortune told to see what's missing from my destiny. Only if it's reflected in my name can I have good luck."
Seeing a few elders gathered in a circle to discuss names, Chen Xia did not bother them. After all, it was not his place to interrupt in the naming matter. Chinese parents usually took care of everything.
He still gently held Gu Lin's hand on the hospital bed, and then the couple looked at the child in the incubator together, and they were so happy.
3 babies were born in one go. Gu Lin is the biggest contributor. They were born during the same period. It’s so great.
In the following days, Chen Xia was in a state of being a stay-at-home dad. He used to think other people's babies were so cute, but now that it was his turn, he found that it was not such a beautiful thing at all.
With three children, breast milk is not enough, so making milk powder becomes the most important task.
The babies need to eat every two hours on average. With three babies taking turns to be fed, Chen Xia, the new father, spends almost 24 hours a day soaking in milk powder.
Another thing was changing diapers. Gu's mother and grandmother were initially against it, saying diapers were much better, breathable and economical. But Chen Xia insisted on using diapers, mainly for convenience.
If you wash the diapers of three little babies, you really don't have to do anything.
Milk powder and diapers are easy to solve, the key is that the baby cries a lot. Others say that newborn babies sleep a lot and rarely cry, but this does not work for the Chen family's triplets.
The eldest cried, then the second, then the third, and sometimes the three of them cried together. Chen Xia hugged this one but it didn't work, and hugged that one but it didn't work. She was about to collapse.
There aren't many confinement centers these days, otherwise he would have to hire 10 confinement nannies at once.
After this week, Chen Xia lost 5 kilograms and his eyes were full of dark circles. He had never felt so tired even when they were newlyweds. He started brewing ginseng and wolfberry tea in his thermos again.
A week later, the new father couldn't take it anymore and stopped asking to take care of the baby himself.
Go to work, I must go to work. Compared to taking care of children, going to work is as comfortable as taking a vacation.
But the most surprising thing is Gu Lin, this silly girl who was heartless before marriage, has changed completely since she became a mother. Maybe this is maternal love.
When other people are giving birth and are in excruciating pain, they must be cursing their husbands desperately, but Gu Lin didn't do that.
After giving birth to a baby, other people would act delicately and not touch this or that. However, Gu Lin was the opposite. She would get up in the middle of the night to feed her baby and never complain. Even if the baby was sleeping soundly, she would wake up immediately when she heard the baby crying.
Chen Xia was very pleased that her daughter had become a qualified mother. The girl had finally grown up.
What Chen Xia couldn't stand the most was the "confinement period". Gu's mother and grandmother were very clear "confinement supporters", but Chen Xia, Chen Chun, and Chen Shuqin, the three aunts and nieces, were firmly against the "confinement period".
Confinement after childbirth is a confusing thing. You can’t open windows or ventilate the house, you can’t touch water or take a bath, you can’t watch TV or go out.
How does postpartum depression come about? Confinement is a major responsibility.
Isn't it enough to maintain good personal hygiene and prevent postpartum infection?
On the contrary, women after childbirth should walk more and actively restore their body functions, just like Gu Lin who gave birth to three children. If you don’t exercise as soon as possible, it will seriously affect your life as a couple in the future.
Why?
Cough cough cough...
