Volume 1 Chapter 296 Confinement
When the child cried, he would pull the crib to the living room, and only push it back to the room after he had coaxed the child into falling asleep.
Seeing Sheng Wanyan sleeping soundly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
At night, Gu Tingxiao serves as her pillow, and he takes great care to ensure Sheng Wanyan's sleep quality.
Sheng Wanyan's health gradually recovered, and her complexion was obviously much better than when she had just given birth.
Gu's mother often made pig's trotter soup, chicken soup, etc., and Gu Tingxiao brought them in for her to drink.
Sheng Wanyan couldn't finish half of the drink because it was too greasy and had no taste at all.
Gu Tingxiao didn't force her. He saw that she had drunk half of it and helped her finish the rest.
When he drank the tasteless soup, he realized how bland his wife's diet was.
I can’t finish it after just one drink, let alone my wife, who is like this at every meal.
"Wife, I'll ask the doctor tomorrow if I can add some salt."
"good."
Sheng Wanyan knew that it was actually possible to add salt during confinement, but only in a small amount.
But Gu's mother doesn't think so, as she is afraid that eating salt during the confinement period will have side effects on the body and affect breast milk.
This is how everyone spends their confinement period these days. Having cigarettes every night and meat for every meal is already a luxury.
Gu Tingxiao couldn't bear to see his wife suffer any injustice, so he didn't care what other families were like.
Your own wife is not someone else's wife, so you have your own ideas on how to treat her.
Gu Tingxiao went to the hospital to ask the doctor. In fact, many doctors of this era, like most people, do not recommend adding salt.
So many years of life experience are laid out here, and each has its own truth.
However, the director of obstetrics and gynecology said that it is okay to add a small amount of salt if the mother always eats tasteless food.
At that time, your appetite will be poor, which will affect milk secretion over time.
After asking carefully, Gu Tingxiao rode his bicycle home. When his mother was cooking, Gu Tingxiao picked up the salt and sprinkled some in.
"What are you doing!!!"
When Mother Gu saw him sprinkling salt, she was so angry that her head was smoking. This was Yan'er's food, why was he making such a mess here!
"Yan'er is eating during her confinement period. How can you eat it with salt sprinkled on it?"
"It will affect Yan'er's health by then."
Gu's mother wanted to pick out the salt, but it had all dissolved and no residue was visible.
"Mom, I went to the hospital and asked, and they said we can add salt to Yan'er's food."
"Just add a small amount, it will be good for your body."
Mother Gu didn't know anything about medicine. She had taken care of Mrs. Gu and Wang Chunmei during their confinement.
I haven't heard of such a rule?
"Did you go to the hospital to ask?"
Gu Tingxiao nodded. Mother Gu looked at her third son and felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
The third son really loves his third daughter-in-law to the core.
Before, when the other two daughters-in-law were in confinement after childbirth, their husbands were unable to do the same, so they went to ask the doctor specifically about this small matter.
They are also good to their wives, but they are so good and caring to such an extent. I am afraid that there is only one such person in the world, the third brother.
Mother Gu knew that Gu Tingxiao would not joke about Sheng Wanyan's health. On the contrary, he took it more seriously than anyone else.
Since the doctor said it was okay, she naturally wouldn't be too harsh on Sheng Wanyan's diet.
"The doctor said I could add a small amount, so that's fine."
Gu's mother drove him out of the kitchen and added a little bit of Sheng Wanyan's food into the meal, just to give it a little flavor.
Sheng Wanyan's eyes lit up when she ate dinner today, and her heart warmed when she saw Gu Tingxiao taking care of Yi Yi.
This person didn't say anything and just got the job done quietly.
Sheng Wanyan obviously ate a lot more today and finished all the prepared food.
Gu Tingxiao knew that his trip to the hospital was not in vain. If he hadn’t asked, it was very likely that his wife would eat only half full for every meal.
Gu Tingxiao had no idea that Sheng Wanyan would secretly treat him well whenever she had the chance.
If he knew, he might not think so.
"Give me the child, and you go eat."
Whenever Sheng Wanyan was eating, Gu Tingxiao would be there to take care of her so that she could concentrate on eating and resting.
Gu Tingxiao changed Yi Yi's diaper with a new one and then handed the child to her.
From the time he was born till now, Gu Tingxiao has been solely responsible for taking care of his diapers.
All Sheng Wanyan needs to do is breastfeed.
The rest of the time, Yi Yi is taken care of by Gu's mother and Gu Tingxiao. Gu Tingxiao takes care of Yi Yi in the evening, and Gu's mother takes care of Yi Yi in the afternoon.
After Yi Yi finished drinking milk in the afternoon, Mother Gu took Yi Yi back to her room so that Sheng Wanyan and Gu Tingxiao could sleep for a while.
With Gu's mother sharing the burden, Gu Tingxiao saved himself a lot of trouble.
Gu Tingxiao still had wounds on his body and had not rested since returning from the mission.
Mother Gu felt heartbroken when she saw this, but there was nothing she could do.
During this period, there were sick people in the house, including a woman who had just given birth, a baby, and an injured person.
This is the best arrangement that Gu's mother could think of. At least this way Gu Tingxiao can rest for two hours in the afternoon.
After Yi Yi returned home, she gradually grew up and was no longer as red as when she was just born.
———
Time flies, and now Yiyi is more than half a month old.
Her body is white and tender, and her facial features are small and delicate, which makes people want to take a bite at first sight.
The more Sheng Wanyan looked at it, the more her mouth itched. She wondered if she would cry if she took a bite of this white and tender little ball.
However, it turned out that Yi Yi could cry on her own without Sheng Wanyan biting her.
She was crying in a particularly aggrieved manner, and Sheng Wanyan knew as soon as she heard it that she either had defecated or peed.
Gu Tingxiao brought in a basin of cold water from outside, skillfully added hot water and cleaned them one by one.
I just finished drinking the milk half an hour ago, and now it's starting to digest.
Sheng Wanyan helped from the side, handing Gu Tingxiao a dry towel and a diaper.
After cleaning up, Yi Yi stopped crying and fell asleep with a smile on her face.
Sheng Wanyan was stunned. This little guy really knows how to enjoy himself? ? ?
"She really knows how to enjoy herself. All she does is eat and sleep."
“There’s no one more comfortable in our family.”
When Gu Tingxiao heard her words, he looked at her with some pleasure.
"Are you sure?"
Gu Tingxiao looked at her. It seemed that someone in this family lived more comfortably than his daughter.
"Am I wrong?"
"Wife, you are right."
Gu Tingxiao never says that his wife is wrong, what his wife says is always right.
Sheng Wanyan was satisfied with his answer and went to bed to take a nap with her daughter.
Gu Tingxiao saw the smile in her eyes and shook his head. The little girl was still full of childishness even after becoming a mother.
Seeing that the mother and daughter were resting, Gu Tingxiao went to tidy up the yard.
The vegetable garden can also be tidied up and the seeds can be planted again to survive the winter.
Yi Yi usually just eats and sleeps, or opens his eyes and looks left and right.
When I feel tired, I just stare at the ceiling, which makes me feel less troubled.
Before we knew it, Sheng Wanyan had also left the confinement period. Her hair hadn’t been washed for a month and was already smelling terrible.
But Gu Tingxiao never despised it and always comforted himself that it smelled good.
She wanted to go into the space and wash her hair secretly, but Gu Tingxiao had a very sensitive nose and could tell at a glance.
