Chapter 258 Good news keeps coming
Before Huo's mother could recover from the shock, Jiang Si took out two brown fleece blankets from the cabinet.
"Mom, you have to do me a favor and wrap them up together."
She has no problem holding the baby now.
But she really can't pack this.
The children were so soft and boneless that she was afraid she might not be gentle enough.
Mrs. Huo was very quick; she wrapped the two children in a blanket in just a few minutes.
Place a soft pillow in the middle.
The brother and sister were either lying down, hugging, or sitting...
In short, kids at this stage look good no matter how they are photographed.
As I patted them, the two little ones woke up without me even realizing it.
She didn't cry or make a fuss.
However, her small face was filled with big question marks.
The two babies can't talk yet, otherwise they would ask each other a question.
What are you doing?!
Jiang Si didn't want to do anything, she just wanted to give each other a sip.
After kissing them, she couldn't resist teasing them, "You're awake! When did you wake up?"
"Let Mommy see, whose beautiful baby is this!"
Jiang Si often teased the two children, but the kids would only unconsciously utter a few "oh~ oh~" sounds.
But I don't know what's wrong with them today, the two little ones are visibly excited.
As soon as Jiang Si finished kissing them, the two children looked over with their big, dark eyes.
Although the baby at this age can't laugh yet, the two of them are already grinning from ear to ear.
My calves were being tossed around a lot.
Upon seeing this, Mrs. Huo quickly untied the blanket.
Freed from their restraints, the two children excitedly reached out and kicked their legs, never stopping for a moment.
Fortunately, whoever provides the milk is the mother.
With Jiang Si's coaxing and feeding, the babies finally cooperated and had their photos taken.
Now, the one who was excited was Huo's mother.
For the entire morning, Mrs. Huo's lips never left her mouth.
She would tell everyone she met about how her daughter-in-law took pictures of her.
This made the people in the family compound extremely envious.
Of course, the person who envied Huo's mother the most was none other than Huo Tingzhou.
As the child's father, he still doesn't have a single photo with him.
Jiang Si was well aware of his little schemes, which is why she deliberately kept some color film.
But now is not the time to talk about these things; today is the children's one-month celebration.
With so many guests to entertain, let's talk about this after today.
As the two were talking, Huo's mother asked, "Have you notified Battalion Commander Lu yet?"
This is a full moon celebration, and the host family usually doesn't inform the family members about it proactively.
If anyone visits during the postpartum period, you need to invite them when you hold a banquet.
Grandma Lu came to visit her two beloved grandsons a few days ago.
This is something Huo's mother must accept.
Huo Tingzhou said, "I've notified him, but he might not have time to come."
Battalion Commander Lu's son was transferred to a regular ward the day before yesterday, and the child's condition is not yet fully stable.
Battalion Commander Lu and his wife are now living and eating at the hospital, taking care of their child every step of the way.
"Oh, this is simply a disaster."
Huo Muguang couldn't help but sigh as she thought about it, "Such a good child, and they've ruined him like this."
Jiang Si also felt a little reluctant and turned to look at Huo Tingzhou.
"I'll prepare some things later. You should find some time tomorrow to visit them at the hospital."
Jiang Si was a little confused about what to prepare.
After all, the child is too young, and it seems that no matter what you give them, they will never actually get into the child's mouth.
Just then, a knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.
When Huo's mother opened the door, she saw Aunt Lu.
In just one month, Aunt Lu became so thin that she was no longer recognizable as a human.
Mrs. Huo was also heartbroken. "Come, come, eldest sister, please come inside."
"Young lady, I won't go in. You can take this."
Aunt Lu slipped two red envelopes into Mother Huo's hand and handed her the prepared eggs.
"Take this back with you and help your daughter-in-law recover."
"Big sister, we are so happy that you've come."
As she spoke, Mrs. Huo pushed the things back, saying, "We agreed beforehand that we wouldn't accept anything from anyone today."
Aunt Lu knew, but she came today.
Not only did she come to congratulate the two children on their one-month birthday, but she also had something she wanted to ask Mrs. Huo for help with.
"Young lady, I've heard you're an excellent cook of medicinal cuisine. Can I learn from you for a couple of days?"
Before Huo's mother could speak, Aunt Lu continued.
"The doctor said my grandson's digestive system is very weak right now and he needs to drink more breast milk, but my daughter-in-law has been stressed and anxious these past few days and can't eat anything..."
Before she could finish speaking, Mrs. Huo readily agreed, "Eldest sister, you can come anytime you want to learn."
Jiang Si asked, "Mom, the key to brewing medicinal cuisine is controlling the heat. Auntie is running between the hospital and home these days, is it possible for her to manage?"
These words served as a reminder to Huo's mother.
"Sister, how about this, you can stay in the hospital and take care of the child for the next few days."
"Anyway, I have to stay up every day. Just come over when the time comes, and I'll pack some for you."
"This...this is too much to ask..."
Mother Huo said, "What's there to be embarrassed about? We're all from the same residential compound. Everyone has their difficult times."
"I'll help you today, and you can help me tomorrow. Let's get through this first, okay, sister?"
Jiang Si also chimed in, "Auntie, just listen to my mom."
If she doesn't listen, Jiang Si really won't know what to do.
Fortunately, Aunt Lu didn't refuse too much.
She wiped away her tears and handed the things over again.
"Okay, I'll come back later. You can take this."
"You absolutely must accept this, otherwise I'll have no right to even come to your house."
Mrs. Huo was a straightforward person. "Alright, I'll accept the gift. We'll have a proper celebration when your grandson is discharged from the hospital and has his one-month celebration."
Aunt Lu nodded repeatedly, "Okay, it's settled then!"
Mother Huo: "Eldest sister, why don't you have lunch here before you leave? Lunch will be served soon."
"No, no."
Despite Huo's mother's repeated attempts to persuade her to stay, Aunt Lu refused no matter what.
With such a thing happening in her family, she really couldn't bring herself to smile.
Today is their baby's one-month celebration, a joyous occasion.
If she looks gloomy, wouldn't that be deliberately making things difficult for others?
Having said that, Mrs. Huo didn't try to keep her any longer.
Before leaving, Jiang Si gave Aunt Lu a box of wedding eggs and candy.
"Auntie, take this home and share in the good fortune."
"Your grandson is blessed with good fortune and will surely recover soon."
Aunt Lu liked hearing this, and happily accepted the wedding eggs and candy before leaving.
When they arrived at the hospital, Aunt Lu told her son and daughter-in-law exactly what she had said.
As she said this, she gently rolled the commemorative egg over her grandson several times.
Each time you roll it around, you should silently recite a few phrases in your mind.
Whether it was God who heard her prayers or not, ever since she ate the medicinal food made by Mother Huo...
The daughter-in-law's milk supply increased day by day, and the grandson's health improved day by day.
A week later, after a thorough examination by the doctor, the child's physical indicators had all met the criteria for discharge.
Battalion Commander Lu and his family wept with joy.
The next morning, Aunt Lu rushed over to tell Mrs. Huo and the others the good news.
Unexpectedly, someone arrived before her.
This person was none other than Deputy Regiment Commander Lei.
It turns out that Sister Xu went into labor early yesterday morning. I heard that both she and her baby are safe and sound, and that she gave birth to a big, healthy boy weighing over seven pounds.
Jiang Si was genuinely happy for the couple.
However, she hadn't even had time to fully process these two pieces of good news.
That noon, Huo Tingzhou brought her two more messages.
The first is about the director of the military hospital, and the second is about family members.
In short, those who were suspended from their posts were suspended, and those who were demoted were demoted.
Everyone involved, including those who gave preferential treatment to the Tan family, received the punishment they deserved.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Si couldn't help but exclaim, "What a day this is! Good news keeps coming one after another."
However, after meeting Huo Tingzhou's meaningful gaze, Jiang Si suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Could there be more good news?
Huo Tingzhou didn't hide it from her, "It seems so..."
"What do you mean by 'seems like'? Tell me quickly."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a hearty laugh echoed from the doorway—
