Li Fengyi was about to say something when Jiang Yang suddenly came in from outside carrying a bunch of things. When he saw Yang Niannian, his eyes lit up.
"Sister Nian."
Yang Niannian saw that he was carrying a lot of things and asked curiously, "What are these?"
Jiang Yang put the things at the head of Lu Ruoling's bed, opened the bag and said.
"Clothes for the baby, some cotton cloth for diapers, towels and so on. I also bought five pounds of pork ribs and sent them to the canteen. I asked the chef in the kitchen to help stew them so that we can eat them in the evening."
Li Fengyi was very touched. "Boss Jiang, thank you for your help. I will give you the money for these things when we are discharged from the hospital."
Others have helped me so much, I can't always ask them to pay me.
Jiang Yang said in a mature tone.
"According to our age, I should call you Sister Ling since I'm Ruo Ling, and you are my brother-in-law. When my little niece is born, isn't it normal for an uncle to buy something for her? It would be awkward if you said you should give her money."
Although he is not very old, he is much more mature than people of the same age.
Yang Niannian also said, "You guys should stop being so formal with Jiang Yang."
Li Fengyi also felt that since he was lying in bed now, it would be useless to say more. He could only wait until he got better and then repay her.
Yang Niannian looked at Jiang Yang and said, "I'll have to trouble you a little more. Go and help find a caregiver. It's best to find one who can take care of children. Then pay her a little more and ask her to help take care of the child."
They had no experience in raising children. When they thought about the baby, who weighed only a little over five pounds but had a head as big as an apple, they didn't know what to do.
"good."
Jiang Yang turned and left the ward. After asking at the nurses' station, they helped him find an experienced nurse.
The caregiver was in his forties, with his hair tied up behind his head. He was neatly dressed, looked capable, and had a kind face.
Jiang Yang introduced, "Sister Nian, her last name is Zhou, we can just call her Aunt Zhou."
Yang Niannian smiled and nodded to the nurse, "Aunt Zhou, I'll trouble you a lot for taking care of my sister and the child from now on."
"It's not a problem, it's what I should do."
Aunt Zhou smiled openly and asked when she saw the bag on the bedside table filled with maternity and baby supplies.
"Is there a basin? I'll go wash these clothes first. These new fabrics look clean, but they're actually not hygienic at all. They need to be washed before they can be used."
When she heard her say this, Yang Niannian knew she had found the right person.
"Auntie Zhou, take a rest first. I'll go buy a basin of water later."
Jiang Yang offered, "I'll go buy it."
Having said that, he left the ward.
There was a basin shop near the hospital, so Jiang Yang bought two enamel basins and a thermos, and also bought some soap.
Aunt Zhou has lively eyes and is experienced in taking care of women in confinement. She gave instructions on many things to pay attention to.
After dinner.
Qu Xiangyou came to visit with his wife and gifts. Knowing that the patient and the woman in labor needed rest, the two of them briefly greeted each other and then said goodbye.
Yang Niannian walked the two to the stairs and said as she went.
"Master Qu, are there any rooms on the second floor of the dormitory? Feng Yi may need to stay here to recuperate. It's not convenient for them to live in the scrap yard. I want them to live in the dormitory."
Qu Xiangyou thought for a moment and said, "There are rooms on the second floor, but it's not convenient for him to go up and down the second floor with his current leg condition. There is a two-bedroom, one-living room house on the first floor. It was originally intended for the security guards to live in. Since we haven't hired security guards, it's better to let them live there."
Yang Niannian smiled and said, "Master Qu, you are thoughtful. Then I will live on the first floor."
Seeing that it was getting dark, she didn't say much and said goodbye to the two of them, "Master Qu, Sister Qu, I will take you here, please drive slowly."
Qu Xiangyou and Chen Fang waved their hands quickly, "No need to send me off, just go back to the ward!"
…
They were busy until seven o'clock in the evening. When the soldier who was taking care of Li Fengyi took over his shift, Yang Niannian followed Jiang Yang and his sister back to the scrap yard.
Ever since Lu Ruoling became pregnant, Jiang Yang was worried that Yueyue would kick her stomach, so he built another room for Yueyue to sleep in.
When Yang Niannian came back this time, Jiang Yueyue insisted on sleeping with her, so they slept in the same room.
After a busy day, she went to bed and slept until dawn.
Jiang Yang went out to do something, so Yang Niannian took Jiang Yueyue to have breakfast and bought a bunch of daily necessities before going to the hospital.
The old leader and others came to visit Li Fengyi and had just left the hospital.
Li Fengyi and his wife lived in the same ward. They were in a good mood and chatted and told jokes from time to time.
At noon, Zheng Haitian and Zheng Xinyue also came to visit one after another. The ward was not big to begin with, and now it was filled with gifts sent by everyone.
Li Fengyi knew in his heart that, except for the people in the army, all the others came for Yang Niannian's sake. He was very grateful and secretly vowed to learn the technology well in the future.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, there was a sudden noise in the corridor outside the ward.
Jiang Yueyue ran to the door out of curiosity, took a look, then covered her mouth and said with an exaggerated expression.
"Sister, that fierce old woman is here."
A super fierce old woman?
Ma Xiuzhu has arrived?
Just as Yang Niannian was about to go out to take a look, Ma Xiuzhu rushed into the ward from outside howling. Before she could even see who she was, she covered her face and burst into tears.
"My poor girl, you just gave birth to a child and this happened. How are you going to live in the future?"
Lu Qingyuan, who followed in, felt very embarrassed, "Mom, what are you doing?"
Ma Xiuzhu ignored her eldest son and opened her mouth to yell, "My life is so miserable..."
"This is in the hospital, what are you yelling about?"
Lu Guozhi roared angrily, which scared Ma Xiuzhu and made her behave herself immediately.
Li Fengyi finally had the chance to greet them, "Dad, Mom, and Big Brother."
Lu Guozhi glanced at the location of his legs, understood what was happening, and nodded to comfort him.
"Take good care of your health. I brought two chickens that your mother raised to help you build up your health."
When Lu Qingyuan saw a pile of valuable gifts in the ward and then looked at the two old hens in his hand, his face turned red and he carefully placed the two chickens under the bed.
Yang Niannian greeted calmly, "Father-in-law, brother, please find a place to sit!"
There was only one small stool in the ward, which was not enough for us to sit on. Since we were all family, we could only sit next to the bed.
Fortunately, the soldier was not there at the moment because he had gone to the toilet, otherwise it would have been even more crowded.
Lu Qingyuan shook his head. "It's okay. We've been sitting all the way. It'll be more comfortable if we stand for a while."
Ma Xiuzhu didn't care about that. She sat down on the head of Lu Ruoling's bed. After looking around and not seeing Li Fengyi's parents, she started to find fault.
"Did your parents know that Ruo Ling gave birth to a girl and were unwilling to come and take care of her during the confinement period?"
She was afraid that Li Fengyi would ask her to stay and serve him, so she quickly made it clear.
"Let me make it clear to you, I am not responsible for taking care of Ruoling during her confinement. My eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to three children, and I never took care of her. I will not take care of anyone else who gives birth in the future. This is called treating everyone equally."
The last sentence was obviously meant for my daughter-in-law.
Li Fengyi knew that his mother-in-law was difficult to deal with and he had never expected her to help him, so he quickly explained.
"Mom, the hospital is small and there is not enough room for us. I want to wait until I am discharged before notifying my family. You don't have to worry about taking care of Ruoling. Aunt Zhou is here to take care of Ruoling and the child."
Ma Xiuzhu glanced at Aunt Zhou, curled her lips in disdain, and thought: She is old, but still dresses herself up so well. You can tell at first glance that she is not a serious person.
What decent person would be a caregiver and dress so well?
He glanced at Lu Ruoling again, "Did you become mute after giving birth? Your father, your eldest brother and I came here, but we didn't hear you calling for help."
Lu Ruoling came back to her senses and quickly called out, "Mom, Dad, Big Brother."
Ma Xiuzhu was still not satisfied and spoke without restraint.
"Your child is not destined to enjoy happiness. It's fine if you give birth to a girl, but as soon as the child is born, her father..."
Yang Niannian knew that she couldn't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth, so she interrupted her with a cold face.
"You came here to see Ruoling and Fengyi, but why do you dislike everything as soon as you get here? If you continue to make trouble, I will have someone buy you a train ticket to send you back to Ancheng."
