When the child started crying, Xu Qingning panicked and didn't know what to do first.
Yang Yuelan was quite experienced. She took the baby, changed his diaper, and let Xu Qingning breastfeed him first: "Let him suckle a few times, then give him formula. If he drinks formula first, he'll be full and won't strain."
Xu Qingning agreed. She opened her clothes to breastfeed, but she didn't know how. The baby couldn't get any milk and started crying. She was sweating profusely with anxiety.
Zhao Jingyu, standing to the side, was also a little anxious: "Let's drink the milk powder first. It won't make a difference if we don't drink it again. We can practice slowly."
The main problem is that he doesn't know how either.
it can not be helped.
Yang Yuelan stepped forward to help, instructing Xu Qingning to support the baby's head and bottom, saying that babies are born knowing how to nurse and will get used to it.
After some fuss, the little baby finally got to nurse and calmed down temporarily. Xu Qingning felt that he was sucking very hard, and it even hurt her a little.
Turning her head, she saw Zhao Jingyu sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at her and her daughter. Their eyes met, and Xu Qingning turned slightly to the side. Honestly, she was breastfeeding, what was he looking at...
Zhao Jingyu then looked away.
He was just anxious, but he didn't have any other thoughts; he didn't see anything.
The baby in the next bed stopped crying and quietly nursed in his mother's arms, and the room finally quieted down.
Seeing Yang Yuelan preparing formula, the woman in the blue floral jacket said to Xu Qingning, "Actually, you don't need to drink formula. Just let the baby nurse a few more times. Babies don't eat much at first. I didn't bring any formula with me, but this is enough for now."
“I was worried I wouldn’t have enough breast milk, so I bought some formula.” Xu Qingning looked down at her little sweet baby, who was sucking hard, his face turning red. After sucking for a while, there was no milk, and he started crying again.
Yang Yuelan then took the child and fed him formula with a bottle.
“It’s impossible for you not to have breast milk. It will only take a day or two at most. Just let the baby nurse more and it will come. If it really doesn’t work, just ask the baby’s father to help.” The woman in the blue floral jacket chuckled. “When I gave birth to my first child, I didn’t have any either, so I had my dad help me nurse.”
"I can help with this too?" Zhao Jingyu perked up immediately. He looked at Xu Qingning and said, "I can too."
Xu Qingning glared at him but didn't say anything.
She doesn't need him!
Seeing that Xu Qingning was embarrassed, the woman in the blue floral jacket teased the two of them, "Are you young people embarrassed? We're an old married couple, it's nothing."
As they were talking, the man in the next bed walked in and immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhao Jingyu: "Brother, thanks, I'm so grateful for your help."
"You're welcome, it was nothing." Zhao Jingyu couldn't help but smile when he saw him. He had seen people who fainted at the sight of blood before, but this was the first time he had ever seen someone collapse on the ground like this.
"You should really thank them," the woman in the blue floral jacket said with a look of disdain. "Otherwise, with your build, who could possibly lift you?"
The man in the next bed chuckled and walked over, plopped down on the bed, glanced at the baby who was nursing, and said, "Maybe I should go back. Neither of us can sleep tonight!"
“The other two people who were staying with me didn’t say they were going back, but you can’t sleep? No, you can’t go back. You have to help me hold the baby tomorrow.”
"Okay, okay, I won't leave. I'll just sleep on the bed in the duty room, alright?"
"What do you mean 'can't' or 'can't'? It's like I gave birth to my own child. Damn it, isn't this child yours?"
“I didn’t say it wasn’t mine. I just said I had nowhere to sleep, and you’re just overthinking it.”
The couple started arguing, each saying their own opinion.
Yang Yuelan advised the man, "Your wife just gave birth and is still in her postpartum period. Don't argue with her; it could leave you with health problems for life."
“He would never have thought of these things; he’s just a selfish person.” The woman in the blue floral jacket had tears in her eyes.
The man in the next bed then wisely shut his mouth.
He moved a chair to the edge of the bed and sat down, grinning, "I'll sleep here tonight."
Xu Qingning also realized that Zhao Jingyu and Yang Yuelan had nowhere to sleep either. Her bed was too narrow, barely big enough for two people, but with the child, there wasn't enough room for both of them, so she had to sleep alone.
She then suggested that Zhao Jingyu go home.
It's only 7 p.m., walking back is better than staying here.
Besides, he wouldn't be of much help if he stayed here; it's enough that Yang Yuelan is with her.
Zhao Jingyu refused: "I won't be able to sleep if I go back. It's better to let Mom go home and rest."
“Neither of you can take care of a child, and I’m worried about going back home.” Yang Yuelan was concerned about her grandson. “Let’s make do for one night and go home tomorrow.”
After eating and drinking her fill, Xiao Tianbao fell asleep again. Xu Qingning drew the curtains and quickly caught up on her sleep. Seeing that the two children had stopped crying, the man in the next bed invited Zhao Jingyu to the corridor. The two sat on the chairs by the door and chatted.
Neither Yang Yuelan nor the woman in the blue floral jacket felt sleepy. They chatted quietly about the weather and about having children. Xu Qingning felt a buzzing in her ears, and a wave of drowsiness washed over her. She quickly fell asleep.
After getting off work, Chen Meili went to the People's Hospital to visit Tang Wenya.
Because of the fashion competition, she and Tang Wenya had become estranged. She felt that Tang Wenya had dragged her down with her in order to oppose Xu Qingning.
If she focuses wholeheartedly on participating in this competition, even if she doesn't win the prize money, she should still be able to get an excellence award.
Now, not only did she miss out on the award for excellence, but she also has a stain on her record and will be banned from participating in any fashion competitions in the province for life.
What worries her even more is that the case of burglary of sample garments is still hanging over her head. If someone were to implicate her, she would also face imprisonment.
Chen Meili felt increasingly frightened as she thought about it.
She just started working, isn't married yet, and her life is just beginning. If this affects her future, who can she complain to?
Tang Wenya only told her to rest assured and that she wouldn't be able to find out about her.
Although she didn't believe it, she didn't have the courage to turn against Tang Wenya. She had already thought it through: if the provincial capital came to her because of this, she would implicate Tang Wenya.
Tang Wenya was the mastermind behind it all; she can forget about clearing her name.
It was already past nine o'clock at night, and Tang Wenya was still in the delivery room. Lin Wanshuang had also been in there for three or four hours, but there was still no sign of anything happening.
Xiao Yaodong and Liu Yuzhen couldn't stay awake any longer and went back to rest, saying they would come again tomorrow.
Jiang Yumei finished sewing the quilt and paced anxiously at the entrance of the delivery room. She asked Xu Jianguo to go back and make chicken soup so that he could bring it over the next morning.
Originally, these things should have been arranged by Liu Yuzhen, but because of the small quilt, she and Liu Yuzhen didn't talk to each other, so she could only go home and stew it herself.
Anyway, she wouldn't let her daughter suffer any injustice; she needed to take good care of herself during her postpartum period.
Xiao Tingshen and Chen Meili sat on the bench by the door without saying a word. Xiao Tingshen was too lazy to pay attention to Chen Meili and even felt that she had corrupted Tang Wenya.
Chen Meili didn't even want to look at Xiao Tingshen. She had met Ge Yanni, and Ge Yanni was superior to Tang Wenya in both family background and appearance.
She felt that Xiao Tingshen would change his mind sooner or later.
Just then, Xiao Tingshen asked her, "Chen Meili, how much is there between you and Tang Wenya that I don't know about?"
Thank you Zhang Yuzhen, a fellow reader, for the monthly ticket.
