Chapter 91 Confinement
The temperature in the space is neither cold nor hot, it is always kept at 20 degrees, so you don’t need to wear so many clothes in the space.
Li Ruolan lay on the bed, watching Deng Minghao boil a pot of hot water and then help the two children wash.
The two children have not taken a bath since they were born, and their bodies do smell bad.
"Be careful, don't get your belly button wet." Li Ruolan warned with concern.
All the water used was spiritual spring water, which should be good for the children's health. In short, after he finished washing, the two children were quite energetic. They lay on the bed without crying or making a fuss, and looked around with their eyes open.
Deng Minghao was sweating all over. He had never even held a child before, and now he had to wash such a soft and small child. God knows how nervous he was just now.
He was not nervous now. He lay on the bed and watched the children with Li Ruolan.
Deng Minghao held Li Ruolan's hand and said, "We now have two more blood relatives in this world. I really have an indescribable feeling in my heart."
He also couldn't express what he was thinking when he saw the child.
But he definitely liked them, because these two were his children, born to Li Ruolan.
Li Ruolan said, "I already have a son and a daughter, so don't expect me to have another child in the future. Two is enough."
She really doesn't want to have another child. It hurts so much.
"Definitely not. Two children are enough. The next step is to raise them. Then we can travel around." Deng Minghao said as he hugged Li Ruolan in his arms.
Li Ruolan snorted coldly: "I'm going on a trip, I guess you're just carrying a fishing rod and fishing wherever you go, right?"
Deng Minghao smiled and said, "There's no conflict. I've taken you for a walk anyway, so I should relax a little."
As they talked, they both fell asleep in a daze.
When I woke up again, I was woken up by the crying of the child.
Li Ruolan turned her head and saw Deng Minghao helping the two children change their diapers. After changing them, he went to make milk.
"Please bring the children over. The doctor said that if we want to have milk, we need both children to suck more." Li Ruolan said to Deng Minghao.
Deng Minghao put Qingqing next to Li Ruolan and said, "Boys are stronger, let him come. I'll go make some milk for my daughter."
It was indeed very strong. Li Ruolan felt pain after a while, so she changed it.
Qingqing had been working hard for so long but didn't get a single sip of milk. She had a bad temper and started crying loudly after she was let go.
At this time, Deng Minghao had already fed Ningning and was waiting by the side with another bottle of milk.
As soon as she saw her son crying, Qingqing started to feed him immediately. He began to drink milk very attentively, obviously because he was very hungry.
Li Ruolan held Ningning to her side, and the mother and daughter lay together and played.
It is best not to hold the baby too much during the confinement period, otherwise the baby will probably need to be held all the time after the confinement period is over, which is very uncomfortable.
After feeding the two children, it was already dark outside. I looked at the clock and it was already past eight o'clock.
"Do you want to eat something? Pig's trotters? Pig's trotter soup helps increase milk production." Deng Minghao asked Li Ruolan.
Li Ruolan shook her head: "You can't eat anything greasy in the first seven days after giving birth. Just make some millet porridge and stir-fry some vegetables. I want to eat steamed buns."
"Okay, then I'll do it. If the child makes a fuss, just call me." After saying that, Deng Minghao went out to cook.
The baby in confinement is not very noisy. He basically eats and sleeps, and then eats and sleeps. While the two were talking, the child had already fallen asleep.
Li Ruolan put the two children in the middle of the bed, then got out of bed to move around.
It still hurts a bit, but not to the point where I can't walk, and walking will help speed up recovery.
Deng Minghao was quick and brought the meal up in no time. By the time the two had finished their dishes, the millet porridge cooked outside was just right for them to drink.
After drinking the brown sugar millet porridge with lots of red dates, Li Ruolan felt her stomach warm and the contractions were not as painful.
Before going to bed, Li Ruolan washed herself with the hot spiritual spring water and then went to bed.
The next day, Deng Minghao got up early, wrapped the two children in thick quilts, then left the space, started cooking, and let Li Ruolan continue to sleep in the space.
Li Ruolan didn't sleep for long before she woke up, changed into thick clothes and left the space.
Deng Minghao just happened to bring the food to the table and even made some extra to leave for Wang Xiaoni who was about to come over.
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door. Deng Minghao went to open the door and saw Wang Xiaoni shivering outside the door.
"Hurry, come in." Deng Minghao quickly asked Wang Xiaoni to come in.
After entering the house, Wang Xiaoni saw the food on the table and immediately became a little restrained. She wanted to go outside to the kitchen.
"It's your share, come up and eat quickly." Li Ruolan said to her with a smile.
Wang Xiaoni stood there hesitantly: "I don't want to eat. I'm not hungry."
Deng Minghao said: "This is what we agreed upon. We will provide you with meals. Go wash your hands and come up to eat.
I'll ask you to help wash diapers and look after the baby later, go quickly."
Wang Xiaoni then nodded, went out to wash her hands, and climbed onto the kang carefully. Deng Minghao brought her a piece of bread and chopsticks, and told her to eat quickly without being polite.
They were all very ordinary meals, cornmeal pancakes, corn grits porridge, and fried cabbage, just plain meals.
But even such food was something Wang Xiaoni had never eaten in the morning. Her morning meal was always a bowl of clear porridge that was as light as water with a few grains of rice floating in it.
It was the first time she had such a big breakfast.
After dinner, Wang Xiaoni rushed to wash the dishes and pots, and Deng Minghao simply let her go, as he had originally invited her to come to help.
"After washing the pot, boil another pot of hot water. We need to wash the diapers later." Deng Minghao said to Wang Xiaoni.
Wang Xiaoni responded briskly, and then said, "I understand."
After the hot water boiled, Wang Xiaoni first sorted the diapers, took the ones that had been defecated, took them to the open space outside and rubbed them clean with snow, then brought them back and soaked them in warm water to wash.
After washing, soak it in hot water again, wring it out and place it next to the stove or fire wall to let the diapers dry quickly.
Li Ruolan continued knitting a sweater when she had nothing to do. Suddenly, she heard a noisy sound outside and immediately pricked up her ears to listen.
The noisy sound lasted only for a moment and soon disappeared.
After a while, Qin Wan came over with a bulging belly.
"What's going on?" Li Ruolan asked Qin Wan.
Qin Wan said, "It's Guo Xiaoya. She's about to give birth. Xu Tao just called Uncle Wang's carriage to take them to the hospital in town."
