Chapter 88: Taking the baby home
When everyone was discussing the arrangements for the baby's third day bath and full month celebration, grandma came back.
"I just heard what you were discussing. Have you resolved the issue?" Zhao's mother asked curiously.
"Yueyue, you are very hungry now. Mom has brought you some food. Eat first and we'll talk after you finish your meal."
"Thank you, Mom. We were just discussing about the baby's full month celebration. What do you think, Mom? We should hold it. I think the times are good now, so we should just hold it. On the day of the full month, we can ask Shengrui to call back his good friends for dinner. That's what I think. What do you think, Mom?" Tang Yue really thought so and told her mother-in-law.
"Yueyue, Mom thinks what you said is very right. I will listen to you this time. Now everyone says to keep a low profile, but no one dares to hold such a high-profile full-month celebration. Let's eat quickly, or it will get cold in a while." Zhao's mother thought her daughter-in-law was smart. In this era, the first bird to stick its head out will be shot.
Tang Yue took the food handed over by her mother-in-law and started eating. It had little oil and salt, and for the first time she felt that the food her mother-in-law cooked was unpalatable. "Mom, the food has no taste."
"You can't eat those oily and salty foods now, you can only eat light food. You still have to breastfeed in a few days. If you eat strong-tasting food, you can pass it on to the baby." Mother Zhao was afraid that her daughter-in-law would not understand, so she quickly explained it to her.
Tang Yue felt that she probably had no milk. When she was giving birth, she drank a lot of spiritual water because she was worried that she would not have enough strength. After giving birth, she drank a lot because she was afraid of the pain. She felt that her body had recovered completely, except for the surface.
"Okay, Mom." Tang Yue felt that it was better not to break her mother-in-law's fantasy so early. After all, she was the one who was worried. If there was no milk, there was no milk. Even if there was milk, she could feed four babies with just one. It would be better to feed them from the beginning so as not to take care of one and the other. Anyway, she was short of milk powder. Even if she didn't have enough milk powder, she could buy this alternative milk powder, which should be of better quality.
Tang Yue felt a little disappointed after finishing her dinner with less salt and oil. It was even worse than the food she cooked. She should just keep eating it for a few more days. By then, her mother-in-law would know that she had no milk at all and she would not need to eat it anymore.
"Lao Zhao, Sheng Rui, the two of you go back to eat and come back tomorrow morning. I'll stay here tonight, so go back quickly."
Zhao Shengrui agreed as soon as he heard it, "Mom, I'm going back. I'll take care of my wife here tonight in case she has any problems. It will also be convenient for you to help. You can go back."
Seeing them pushing and shoving each other, Tang Yue interrupted them quickly, "You all go back and take the baby with you. I'll keep the baby here. I heard that there are people stealing babies in other hospitals. You all go back and I'll keep an eye on him."
When Zhao's mother heard that someone was stealing the children, she gasped and hurried to the babies, watching them closely, afraid that they would be suddenly taken away. She knew that many people were jealous of her quadruplets. "I won't leave the babies here tonight. Let's put them at home. They are all fed with milk powder anyway. Shengrui, you go to the hospital to look after your wife tonight, and I and your dad will look after the babies at home."
Zhao Shengrui thought it was too serious, "Mom, don't worry, where is this place, this is a military area, who is so bold as to steal a baby here, he must be dead."
Zhao's mother didn't want to listen to her son's excuses at all. She wanted to go home as soon as possible. "Let's go, we will go back now. Hurry up and help bring the baby back. You can eat at home and then come over to accompany your wife."
Tang Yue supported her mother-in-law very much, "Brother Shengrui, just listen to me. I will leave the baby here too."
Zhao Shengrui saw his wife's pitiful appearance, how could he bear to refuse, he was really afraid of her, "Okay, I'll ask my parents to take the baby back now, I'll be back soon, lie down for a while, have a sleep, and then I'll be back."
"Go ahead, there's no need to rush back. I shouldn't wake up that quickly when I sleep." Tang Yue felt that it was fine for her to stay alone.
Finally, after some discussion, Zhao Shengrui held the eldest and second child, Zhao Xiao held the third child, Zhao's mother held Xiao Nian Nian's granddaughter, and the third child carried the baby out. Tang Yue was stunned to see the momentum of thousands of troops and horses, and held her head high and chest puffed out.
As the three of them walked out of the gate of the Weiyuan with the child, they were stopped. They all wanted to hug the child to share in the joyous atmosphere, but Zhao's mother refused them all on the grounds that the child was too young and only let them look at and touch him.
"Sister Zhao, you are so lucky to have a capable daughter-in-law. I really envy you. My family has three money-losing daughters-in-law. I will be satisfied when the one in my family can give me a grandson."
Zhao's mother was very embarrassed when being held back. She could only comfort her that she would have a grandson, it's just that the time has not come yet. Then she wanted to go home, but the girl let go and said in a low voice: "Sister Zhao, I want to borrow a diaper from you. It can only be used by boys. I will come back to get it in a month. Remember, this one can only be used by boys, don't get it mixed up."
What could Zhao's mother do? She could only agree, "Okay, okay, I'm going home first, but I might get blown by the wind." Finally, he let her go.
It took the three of them more than ten minutes to reach the family quarters of Zhao Shengrui's home. There was a large group of people gathered under a big tree, all discussing Tang Yue's baby, how many boys and how many girls there were, and some were making bets. When they saw them coming back with the baby, everyone rushed over.
"Captain Zhao, congratulations on becoming a father. It's a boy or a girl," Second Battalion Commander Li Guowei stepped forward and congratulated.
"Thank you, thank you," Zhao Shengrui was indeed very excited.
"We were just making a bet about how many boys and how many girls your wife is. Tell us quickly and see who wins."
"You guys are so boring. There are three boys and one girl. Who wins?"
"I didn't win. Everyone knows that your brothers' children are all boys, and everyone bet that your children are all boys. I didn't expect that one of them is a girl. I heard that everyone in your family wanted a girl, and this time you finally got what you wanted."
Zhao's mother was the happiest when she saw her granddaughter. "Let me show you my granddaughter. She looks 80% like her mother. She is so pretty."
Everyone looked at the newborn baby, and they all said that they had never seen a baby so good-looking at birth, and praised the family for raising the baby well.
"Okay, you just watch, the baby is still small and can feel the wind, I will take the baby back first, and then bring it out to show you after the confinement period is over." Seeing that she had stopped here for a while, Zhao's mother was ready to take the baby home. After all, the baby was too young and could easily get sick.
"Auntie Zhao, please take the baby back quickly, don't let the wind blow on him." Everyone was quite reasonable. They all knew that such a young baby was difficult to take care of, so they didn't hold them and talk to them all the time. The baby would be fine after watching it.
"Okay, I'll go home. Everyone should go home early too." Mother Zhao held the child in her arms and Zhao Shengrui and the others sent the child home together.
