Chapter 92: Confinement
Li Ruolan frowned, "That's not right. She seems to be three months older than us in pregnancy. I was almost eight months pregnant. How come she's only given birth now?"
Qin Wan said: "Most pregnancies end in nine months, but there are also cases where the baby is full-term but still not born. This may be her case."
Li Ruolan nodded: "Were they the only couple who went? Did they ask other educated youth to help?"
Qin Wan shook her head: "No, just the two of them."
Li Ruolan didn't say anything, but she was a little concerned about the woman in the hospital who was said to be having a difficult delivery.
I hope that if they get together with Xu Tao and Guo Xiaoya, nothing will go wrong.
Now that Li Ruolan has a child, she can personally experience what it must be like to be separated from one's own flesh and blood.
With Wang Xiaoni's help, Deng Minghao's pressure was reduced. Li Ruolan ate well and slept well, and had a very relaxing confinement period.
Zhou Shengnan and Zheng Fanghua also come to take a look every day and help out.
On the fourth day after giving birth, Li Ruolan finally had milk, but it was only enough for one child.
After her milk production started, Deng Minghao went to the river to fish for some fish and made fish soup for Li Ruolan. Crucian carp soup can help produce milk.
As for the pig's trotter soup, Deng Minghao made it for Li Ruolan after he entered the space at night.
"When making pig's trotter soup, just add some peanuts, but don't add soybeans. If the child eats too much soybeans, he will get bloating and may suffer from colic." Li Ruolan instructed Deng Minghao.
After a friend of Li Ruolan gave birth, the baby started crying every night after the confinement period. The baby cried at a fixed time and place, and no matter how she coaxed him or held him, it was of no use.
After going to the hospital for a check-up, I found out it was colic, which cannot be relieved by taking medicine. I could only do gas-relieving exercises for the child, let the child lie prone more, or hold him in the airplane position.
Therefore, if breastfeeding, mothers should not eat anything related to beans, otherwise the baby will suffer from bloating and colic.
Guo Xiaoya and her friends came back on the fifth day. They were all educated youth and lived together, so they didn't have any major grudges against each other.
What's more, when Li Ruolan came back, Xu Tao also came over and gave her a few eggs. This was definitely a return gift, so Deng Minghao also took a few eggs and went to take a look.
It took a long time for him to come back after this trip.
"Do you remember the woman in the bed opposite you? Her child was not born properly and it was said that the child suffocated to death in the stomach." Deng Minghao told this story as soon as he came back.
Li Ruolan frowned immediately. She knew that if the woman didn't give birth properly, the child would definitely be difficult to give birth to.
"Did Guo Xiaoya meet them? Did anything happen?" Li Ruolan asked.
Deng Minghao shook his head: "No, Guo Xiaoya gave birth to a girl, and that woman's child is a son.
Knowing that the child did not survive, the woman was mentally traumatized. She cried and made a fuss in the ward, and her family was terrified.
So that woman's mother had evil thoughts. She didn't attack Guo Xiaoya, but wanted to secretly take away another child in the ward. "
Li Ruolan shook her head. She didn’t know what that family was thinking. Even if they loved their daughter, they couldn’t love her in this way, right?
Holding someone else's child, isn't that the same as being a human trafficker? Regardless of whether there is a reason or not, human traffickers are unforgivable.
"What happened next? Was the girl's mother caught?" Li Ruolan asked.
Deng Minghao nodded: "Xu Tao was sleepy at night because he was taking care of Guo Xiaoya and her daughter, and he didn't sleep all the time, and then he saw that woman trying to steal someone else's child.
Xu Tao screamed at the time, and the doctors and nurses who came in also saw it, and the family whose child was held called the police. "
Li Ruolan nodded. The male protagonist remained the same as in the book, full of a sense of justice and always willing to help when he saw injustice.
The reason why Qin Wan in the book can be with Xu Tao is that Xu Tao has his own shining points.
"I'm glad you're okay." Li Ruolan said as she looked at the two children sleeping soundly beside her.
After that, nothing happened. After another two or three days, Li Ruolan's milk supply became more and more, almost enough to feed the two children.
However, there was still a lot of milk powder, so she didn't stop it and continued to mix feeding. Li Ruolan only had to get up once in the middle of the night to feed the baby, which was not very tiring.
By the time I was out of confinement, it was already the end of April. The snow outside had melted long ago, but the ground was still hard.
During this month, Qingqing and Ningning have grown a lot. They now weigh eight kilograms each, and their skin has become whiter and whiter. Every time Qin Wan comes to see them, her eyes are bright.
The baby in Qin Wan's belly is a son. She always jokes that she wants to become relatives with Li Ruolan and let her son marry Ningning in the future.
Li Ruolan didn't refuse nor agree, she just said: "Anyway, the children will grow up together in the future. If it really works out, I will definitely be happy to become your in-law."
We definitely have to consider the opinions of the children, so let’s forget about arranged marriages.
"That's true. When we can go back to the city in the future, we will live together, just like we do now." Qin Wan said.
Zhou Shengnan and Zheng Fanghua heard this and asked, "Will we really have a day to return to the city?"
Although life in the Victory Brigade was pretty good, apart from the tiring work, I wasn't hungry or cold, and with friends like Li Ruolan, life was pretty good.
But no matter how good it is, they still miss home and want to go back to the city.
Qin Wan said: "We can definitely return to the city, but it will probably take a long time."
Zhou Shengnan and Zheng Fanghua both sighed.
Li Ruolan glanced at the two of them and said, "Why are you sighing? The matter of whether to return to the city or not is still a long way off, so we don't need to think too much about it now.
But I need to think more about the matter at hand. When are you going to get married?"
During this period, Shen Yi and Zheng Fanghua were in love with each other, Zhou Shengnan also agreed to establish a relationship with Ji Hongjun, and the four of them were about to get married.
Zhou Shengnan didn't hesitate and said, "Ji Hongjun said that we will build the house after the spring ploughing is over, and then we will go and get the marriage certificate."
Several people went to see Zheng Fanghua again, and Zheng Fanghua blushed and said, “Shen Yi also said that, after Ji Hongjun and the house are built and he moves out, we will get married.”
Shen Yi and Ji Hongjun are still active military personnel. After completing their mission here, they may have to return to the army.
By then, Zhou Shengnan and Zheng Fanghua will become military wives, and maybe they can even go to the same place to follow the army, so that they can still keep each other company.
That’s great, everyone is living a good life.
