Chapter 93 Qin Wan gave birth
In early May, Shengli Brigade resumed work. Deng Minghao was busy with spring ploughing, so the children were left to Li Ruolan and Wang Xiaoni.
The two children are easy to take care of. Although they are a little noisy on weekdays, they are not like Guo Xiaoya's daughter who cries all day and all night.
On the sixth day of May, Qin Wan had her period. That afternoon, she and Lu Yunxiao cleaned up, and then called Zheng Fanghua, and the three of them went to the hospital in the town together.
Qin Wan only has one baby in her belly, so she doesn't need so many people. Zheng Fanghua happened to be pregnant, and she had to take a leave anyway because she was not feeling well these two days, so she might as well go to the hospital and help take care of her.
The next day, after Deng Minghao went to work, Guo Xiaoya brought the children to see Li Ruolan.
Seeing her, Li Ruolan was a little puzzled. Guo Xiaoya had just been out of confinement for a few days, so why did she want to bring her child to her?
"Your daughter is so pretty, white and plump." Li Ruolan was telling the truth. Xu Tao was the male lead with outstanding looks, while Guo Xiaoya was the supporting actress.
None of the supporting female characters are ugly, and the child they gave birth to is really good-looking. After the confinement period, the child weighed more than ten kilograms, two kilograms heavier than Ningning.
Guo Xiaoya's expression was not very good. She smiled and said, "I don't know what's wrong with this child. He has been crying every day and night since more than ten days ago.
I had to hold him even when he fell asleep. He would cry as soon as I put him on the quilt. Xu Tao and I had to hold him each for midnight.
I see your two children don't cry much, can you tell me how to raise them?" Guo Xiaoya was really tormented by these children.
She was already weak after giving birth, and the baby cried every day. She couldn't eat or sleep well. Now it has been a month since the birth, but the lochia has not been completely discharged.
Li Ruolan looked at Xu Mingzhu who was sleeping soundly at the moment and thought that the child might have slept in the wrong direction and was suffering from colic, so she was crying non-stop.
"What did you eat during your confinement period? Did you eat anything like beans?" Li Ruolan asked Guo Xiaoya to get on the kang and put the child on it.
Guo Xiaoya nodded: "Giving birth has weakened my blood and qi, and I often feel dizzy. Xu Tao specially made a lot of red beans and peanuts to make porridge for me every day, hoping to replenish my blood and qi."
Li Ruolan said: "Before I went to the countryside, an aunt next door was a pediatrician, and she helped to treat many crying children.
She said that when a baby is just born, its intestines are not fully developed yet, so it is easy to get bloated. If you eat beans and give him milk, the baby will get bloated easily, which means he can't fart, so he will always feel stomach pain. "
As Li Ruolan spoke, she unwrapped Mingzhu. She was wearing a small cotton coat and pants underneath, so it wasn't that cold now.
Holding Mingzhu's calves, Li Ruolan helped her do gas-relieving exercises. After moving her legs, she pressed her legs towards her stomach. Then, Mingzhu could be heard letting out several farts in succession.
"Look, follow these few movements every day to help her relieve the gas, and let her lie down when she has nothing to do.
If she still makes trouble at night, let her lie on your arms like this and hold her like this, she should feel better. "
Li Ruolan taught Guo Xiaoya the airplane hold. Guo Xiaoya felt nervous as she saw her daughter being tossed around by Li Ruolan like a doll.
But seeing that Mingzhu didn't cry or make a fuss, I guess she wasn't feeling uncomfortable.
Thinking of giving it a try, Guo Xiaoya followed Li Ruolan to learn the air-releasing exercises and the airplane hug.
After Xu Tao got off work in the evening, Guo Xiaoya told him about this matter. So before going to bed, the couple got together to help Mingzhu vent her anger.
But after she let out her anger, Mingzhu started crying again after a while, so Guo Xiaoya let Mingzhu lie on Xu Tao's arms.
It really works. In the past, the couple took turns to coax the child, each taking two hours, but nothing worked.
But today, with the exhaust exercises and the airplane hold, Mingzhu only made a fuss for half an hour before she fell asleep on Xu Tao's arms.
Guo Xiaoya let out a long sigh of relief: "It really works. He finally stopped making a fuss after so many days."
Xu Tao was also a little surprised. He glanced at the haggard Guo Xiaoya and said, "The child was making a fuss and you didn't take good care of yourself during the confinement period. There are only two of us here and no one can help you.
Li Zhiqing and his wife are both good people. If there is anything wrong with the child, you should ask her more.
Bring some things with you tomorrow. Li Zhiqing's method worked and it relieved Mingzhu's pain. We should thank her."
Guo Xiaoya nodded: "I see. My mother sent me a few boxes of pastries at home. I'll take one box over tomorrow as a thank you."
The next day, as soon as Deng Minghao went to work, Guo Xiaoya came again with her child and a box of egg rolls, which were only available in department stores and not in ordinary supply and marketing cooperatives.
"I followed your method yesterday, and Mingzhu slept really well. I was finally able to have a good night's sleep.
So this box of egg rolls is your reward. You helped both of us at once, so you must accept it." Guo Xiaoya was really grateful to Li Ruolan.
Li Ruolan declined at first, but seeing that Guo Xiaoya really wanted to give it, she finally accepted it.
Then I talked about how to take care of children in daily life.
The reason she knows so much is that all her good friends have become mothers, and she has learned a lot from them.
In addition, there are such popular science videos on the Internet. Sometimes when she sees them, she will watch them a few more times thinking that they may be useful in the future. Now they come in handy.
Qin Wan came back on the ninth day of May. Her son Lu An was born on the eighth day of May, a big fat boy weighing seven kilograms.
Unlike other children who were born with rosy skin, Qin Wan's son was born with fair skin, his eyebrows and eyes looked like Qin Wan, and his nose and chin looked like Lu Yunxiao.
Qin Wan's child was born, and Li Ruolan would visit Qin Wan every now and then to cheer her up.
However, during the confinement period, both the mother and the child need more sleep, so Li Ruolan didn't want to disturb them too much.
Instead, it was Guo Xiaoya who came to see Li Ruolan with her child.
Several other pregnant women in the village also gave birth during this period. Li Yingying gave birth to a daughter, Wang Xiumei also gave birth to a daughter, and Yang Dan gave birth to a son.
Seven children, four girls and three boys.
The twins, a boy and a girl, in Li Ruolan's family became the eldest among the seven children.
After the spring plowing work was completed, the weather finally started to get warmer and the children took off their thick cotton-padded clothes. Li Ruolan and Wang Xiaoni had nothing to do, so they took the children to sit at the door to bask in the sun.
Children can supplement calcium by getting more sun exposure, which is good for their health. When Guo Xiaoya saw this, she also took her daughter to join the sunbathing team.
