The eldest ate quite a bit, and when he was full, he asked the second child to continue eating.
Ruan Yunxi never expected that she was so capable of feeding three children.
After the first meal, the children ate their fill and went to sleep.
Ruan Yunxi felt utterly hopeless, as if she had been hollowed out.
Gu Weizhou tidied her up and touched her forehead: "My dear wife, you've worked hard!"
Ruan Yunxi pouted: "Raising children is so hard!"
Gu Weizhou hugged the aggrieved Ruan Yunxi and said, "Don't panic. If they don't want to breastfeed in the future, we'll buy them formula. Mom and Dad sent a lot of formula, so they can drink it."
"But formula can't compare to breast milk."
"It's alright, if you can't compare, you can't compare. I can't let you keep working so hard." Gu Weizhou still put his wife first.
Ruan Yunxi felt a little better: "We'll wean them after they're six months old. I heard that breast milk before six months is nutritious, and they can drink formula afterwards."
“My daughter is a little thin, so I can let her eat more.” Ruan Yunxi favored her thin daughter.
Gu Weizhou also showed favoritism: "I'll listen to you. I also think it's okay to give our daughter some extra tutoring."
Ruan Yunxi was delighted; it was great to have someone supporting her.
Ruan Yunxi fed the child and went back to sleep.
Gu Weizhou then took some time to call his parents to share the good news.
When Gu's parents learned that the baby had been born—two grandsons and a granddaughter—they were overjoyed. They said they absolutely had to visit Lian City during the Spring Festival, as they didn't have time during the normal year.
They can stay in a guesthouse.
Gu Weizhou didn't want them to come; if they did, he would have to entertain them, and he wouldn't have time to take care of his three children.
Gu Weizhou said, "Let's skip the New Year. Come back when the children are a bit older. We don't have time to entertain you right now. The children are more important. Besides, it's cold and windy in the city. I'm afraid you won't be used to it."
Mr. and Mrs. Gu wouldn't listen to him: "We're going to see our grandson, not to be guests. We can take care of ourselves, you don't need to worry about us."
Anyway, Gu's parents are coming.
Gu Weizhou couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to go with them.
Let me make this clear from the start: if you feel I've neglected you later, he has a mouth and he'll speak up.
After hanging up the phone, I also called the family compound to tell Sister Sheng that Ruan Yunxi had given birth.
Sister-in-law Sheng asked Ruan Yunxi with concern, "How is your wife?"
“My wife is doing well. She had a natural birth. She’s asleep right now and told me I had to call you. She gave birth to two sons and a daughter.”
"Little Cherry has a little sister! Congratulations! When are you coming back?" Sister-in-law Sheng knew that if it was a natural birth, as long as there were no problems, she could be discharged from the hospital in two or three days.
If it's a C-section, it will take several days.
Gu Weizhou said, "She's exhausted from giving birth this time, so let her stay in the hospital for a few more days. We'll go back on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. Could you please talk to Political Commissar Li and arrange a car to pick us up?"
Sister-in-law Sheng nodded: "I understand. I'll warm up your kang (heated brick bed) in advance."
"Thank you for your help, sister-in-law," Gu Weizhou said gratefully.
Gu Weizhou was worried about Ruan Yunxi, afraid that she would be anxious if he wasn't by her side when she woke up. He said a few words and then hung up the phone to go back and stay with Ruan Yunxi.
In the family compound, everyone knew that Ruan Yunxi had given birth the day after she gave birth, through Sister-in-law Sheng.
She still has two sons and one daughter.
The women's wives all said, "She's so lucky to have given birth to two sons."
"I thought they were three daughters!"
"Having both a son and a daughter, she can be said to have achieved her wish."
"She gave birth to three at once; I never imagined she could have so many children."
Some people teased Little Cherry: "Your aunt has her own son and daughter. She'll only be nice to her own children from now on and won't give you any more good food. Little Cherry has fallen out of favor!"
"No way, even if Auntie has her own children, she will still treat me well." Little Cherry was not swayed by their attempts to sow discord.
She said earnestly, "My aunt also said that I should take care of my younger siblings in the future, and she will buy me nice clothes and delicious food!"
The women pursed their lips, thinking to themselves, "You actually believe that? You're just kidding."
They don't believe it anyway.
