Not long after Ruan Yunxi returned to the family compound, she went to sleep with the children.
When the women in the family compound knew they had returned, they brought eggs, a piece of cloth, a bag of candy, or other gifts to visit Ruan Yunxi.
Knowing she was asleep, I didn't disturb her, gave the things to the nanny, and left.
They were just going through the motions.
When the women in the family compound have babies, everyone is expected to give them a gift.
Even those who weren't on good terms with Ruan Yunxi still sent a few eggs to save face.
They also give gifts like fruit, dried fruit, and red dates.
Commissar Li's wife brought two jin of brown sugar for Ruan Yunxi to eat during her postpartum period to help her recover.
In this day and age, brown sugar is considered a good thing.
Brown sugar and eggs are considered nourishing foods for them.
When Ruan Yunxi woke up, there were many more things in her house.
The nanny wrote it all down and showed it to Ruan Yunxi.
After reviewing the gift, Ruan Yunxi decided that she would reciprocate with a gift the next time they had a happy occasion.
Ruan Yunxi was hungry, so Gu Weizhou stewed brown sugar eggs for her. Ruan Yunxi drank a bowl of brown sugar water and ate two eggs.
She has a good appetite now, and breastfeeding her baby is very tiring.
I also had a bowl of fish porridge at night. It tasted good, with no fishy smell and no fish bones.
The porridge is made with sea fish and is very delicious.
Ruan Yunxi couldn't finish the food, so Gu Weizhou and the nanny each ate a bowl and finished it all.
When the children were hungry or cried at night, it was Gu Weizhou's responsibility; Ruan Yunxi only needed to feed them.
Gu Weizhou is now very good at taking care of his child.
If Ruan Yunxi gets hungry at night, he will cook her something to eat and drink, and take good care of them.
Although she doesn't need Sister-in-law Sheng's help now, Sister-in-law Sheng comes to visit every day, helps out, and keeps Ruan Yunxi company.
With Gu Weizhou, the nanny, and Sister-in-law Sheng taking care of her, Ruan Yunxi had a very easy time during her postpartum period.
I also get out of bed and walk around every day to avoid feeling dizzy and lightheaded from lying down.
Gu Weizhou forbade her from going outside.
The fawn would also bang its mouth against the window, trying to get into the room.
Hearing Ruan Yunxi's voice but not seeing her, Xiao Lu seemed worried.
To let the fawn into the house, Gu Weizhou took the time to wash it clean and dry its fur before letting it in.
Ruan Yunxi hugged the cute little deer, chatted with it for a while, and even showed it her baby so it could recognize it. Finally, she fed it carrots, cabbage, bok choy, and sugarcane. The little deer was full before it went outside.
Ruan Yunxi looked at the sugarcane and wanted to eat it.
In the end, I decided to resist the urge and abstain from certain foods.
Sugarcane is too hard. Her teeth aren't good right now, and if she damages her teeth during her postpartum period, she'll feel uncomfortable later.
Wait until you've finished your postpartum confinement period and recovered before eating it.
Aside from being bored, not being able to shower or wash your hair, and feeling smelly, postpartum confinement is alright.
As the three children's appetites improved, Ruan Yunxi would hold her youngest daughter whenever her breasts became engorged, encouraging her to eat a few more bites.
She was surprised that she had enough capacity to feed three children.
When my sister-in-law came over for a chat, I thought the kids weren't getting enough to eat!
Hearing that all three children were able to eat their fill, he looked at her in surprise.
Ruan Yunxi smiled smugly.
The time during postpartum confinement can feel both slow and fast.
By the fifth day of the tenth lunar month, the three children had turned one month old.
Ruan Yunxi's three little mouse-like children are now incredibly cute, with full, round faces. They eat and sleep well and are well taken care of. They've all gained weight, becoming chubby, fair, and radiant. Everyone who sees them adores them.
Even my once thin daughter now has some flesh on her face, and when I take her bath, her skin feels fuller; she's no longer skin and bones.
