Chapter 349 Recuperation Period
Milk is rarely uncontaminated, since uncontaminated beasts don't exist, and it would be quite difficult for a purifier to purify it later.
Therefore, most people drink low-pollution milk, and the energy in low-pollution milk can still be absorbed. But as mentioned before, Gu Qing's milk has a strange taste.
Looking at the milk in the cup, Gu Qing looked up and asked the group, "What's the baby eating?" Could they be trying to get her to breastfeed? Thinking this, she glanced down at her own chest.
I had seen online before about the harm breastfeeding can cause to mothers, and how it can suddenly diminish a mother's budding maternal love for her two children.
"No need, we've ordered the highest grade purified milk for them. It's a product launched by the Federation and specially customized according to the child's physical development and nutritional status."
"Our baby's milk will be delivered soon, but it will be adjusted every month based on the baby's needs." Yan Anli had arranged these things before the baby was born.
"Oh, that's good. I'm going back to rest!" Gu Qing stood up to leave after seeing that nothing was wrong, but then thought for a moment and added something else.
"It's better to keep someone watching over things. I always feel that it's not safe to leave it to a childcare robot."
Upon hearing this, Butler Yan quickly stepped forward, "Madam, don't worry, I'm here to take care of things. I'll make sure the young master is safe and comfortable."
However, since he was not within the scope of his parents' authority and no one remembered to authorize him, he did not have the information provided by the robot. He was anxious and looked at Yan Anli with longing eyes.
It wasn't until Yan Anli sent him the information and granted him authorization that he quickly turned his attention to the two babies on the bed.
He didn't blink an eye, as if afraid the child would disappear in the blink of an eye. The smile on his face made him look twenty years older than he actually was.
Starting the day after she returned home, people began to come to visit her one after another. Of course, she wanted to see the important people to build connections, but she declined to see the less important ones or those she didn't want to see, citing her need to rest.
People here don't have the concept of postpartum confinement, but they do have a period of rest and recuperation.
You can apply for this rest period yourself. For example, if you feel unwell after giving birth while you are working or studying, you can request a rest period of one month to three years.
If Gu Qing serves her military service according to normal procedures, her rank should allow her to serve for four years.
Subtracting the six months or so of military service and the six months or so of childbirth that would take a year and a half, she could easily take leave under the pretext of recuperating until the end of her military service.
However, it was also mentioned that it is difficult for interstellar people to have children.
The people who came today were some of the Yan family's subordinates and relatives. Gu Qing greeted them briefly and then went back to rest. Since their statuses were different, she didn't need to deal with them.
So they went to the nursery, where soft music was playing, and the two little ones were still awake.
"Da Bao, Er Bao, Mommy's here! Still not asleep?" she said in a high-pitched voice.
The children nap more often and wake up less often, but they rarely cry.
The child was growing up incredibly fast. It felt like only a day and a night had passed since she last saw him, and he had already grown a bit more. The child was fair-skinned, healthy, and didn't need her care, yet she could still play with him. Her diminished maternal love gradually returned.
She kept lying by the crib, teasing the two little ones. They seemed to sense her presence and became especially lively.
The robot in the middle was changing the wet pads for the two children. Gu Qing watched as its movements were gentle and efficient, no less so than a real person's. She couldn't help but marvel at the advancements in interstellar technology.
After a while, the door opened gently, and Butler Yan walked in. It turned out it was time to feed the baby. Watching the robot carry out everything methodically.
"Butler Yan, have the guests downstairs left?"
Butler Yan quickly replied, "Madam has already left. Mr. Qi Bai is arranging lunch and your fruit."
Gu Qing nodded and said nothing more.
Butler Yan glanced at the robot, then at her, and finally couldn't help but take a small step forward. "Madam, your children have been born for a few days now. Have you chosen names for them yet?"
The housekeeper's reminder made her realize that she hadn't named the children yet, and they'd just been calling them Da Bao and Er Bao. However, she also knew that Housekeeper Yan not only wanted to know the names, but also how the surnames would be assigned between the two children.
Gu Qing didn't look up at him, just watched the two children diligently nursing. "Let's discuss it after dinner tonight!"
"Okay, okay."
Butler Yan rarely felt a sense of relief followed by a moment of anxiety.
