Looking at the row of children, Jiang Mengxue felt a little confused. She really had never thought of having so many children.
"What's going on here?"
Jiang Mengxue felt like she really wanted to cry.
If so many children cried together, the roof would be blown off, right?
Seeing Jiang Mengxue's expression on the verge of tears, Luan Huiying stepped forward to comfort her, "Don't worry, don't worry. I've thought about this. I'll hire a few people when the time comes. We'll always find a way to deal with the women in the family compound who don't work."
There's nothing we can do about it. No family can have so many children at once.
Just inform the leadership of the army about this matter, and it will be approved under special circumstances.
Jiang Mengxue couldn't move much because of the wound, so the others could only bring the child forward for her to see, and then put him back on the bed to sleep.
Li Cuiying also came back soon. She couldn't eat greasy food after giving birth, so she cooked a big bowl of thin noodles, beat four eggs, and drank a handful of vegetable leaves.
Jiang Mengxue was very hungry at that time, so she didn't even stop and finished all the soup and noodles.
After dinner, she had to consider the issue of breastfeeding, but her milk supply was not enough to feed four babies.
So we can only feed the weakest one first, and then feed the others in turn.
When Xiaowu is placed next to his brothers and sisters, it is obvious that he is one size smaller. Jiang Mengxue feels so distressed.
Fortunately, the baby was well taken care of in the womb and there were no problems with his physical development.
Otherwise, under the current conditions, the hospital doesn’t even have an incubator, so whether the patient can survive really depends on luck.
However, Jiang Mengxue remembered that when she was feeding Mobao, she had plenty of milk, and Mobao alone could not finish it. In order not to waste it, she squeezed it all out and put it into the space, and she could also take it out for them to drink.
Next comes milk powder, which is a major expense for the family, and the key is that it may not be available.
I stayed in the hospital for three days and then went home. After that, I just had to take good care of myself during the confinement period.
The house was very lively that day, and several familiar people from the family compound came to visit the children.
The news that their family had given birth to quadruplets spread throughout the entire army, and no one didn't know about it.
As soon as Jiang Mengxue returned home, she was asked to lie on the kang, and several children were also put on the kang.
Chen Lanying, Liu Shuxia, Liu Qiuxia, Tang Qianqian, Wang Xia, Wan Yafang, Li Yulan, Fang Yun.
Lu Zhengming arranged for Fang Yun to be with Chief of Staff Xiao Tianyong, who also had no elders at home and only had an older brother.
So they had no objection to Fang Yun's request. Both of them focused on their work and would have children when they were ready.
It's even okay not to have children. At worst, they can adopt a few. There are many people in the army who have adopted their comrades' children. Fang Yun was also very satisfied, so the two of them quickly got married.
These people all have contacts with Jiang Mengxue, and they all came today as if they had made an appointment.
Except for a few who have just been married for a few months and still don’t have children, the others have all given birth to and raised children.
After a while, they took turns hugging the children.
"Oh, girls always look like their mothers. Look at this little guy, he looks exactly like his mother."
"But why don't these kids look like quadruplets to me? Don't babies born from the same womb look exactly the same, so much so that even the parents can't tell them apart?"
Liu Qiuxia looked here and there, and finally came to the conclusion that the children looked different.
Liu Shuxia patted the silly sister's arm and said, "It's not like all babies born from the same litter look the same, not to mention there are four of them. Maybe they'll look alike when they grow up."
Jiang Mengxue saw them discussing the appearance of their children and explained, "Usually, only identical twins look the same. Fraternal twins look different."
In fact, no one understands this explanation. They just know that it is normal to look different.
Chen Lanying wanted to tease the little baby in her arms, but suddenly she remembered that she didn't know what to call it.
"Have you chosen any names for the children? What are they called?"
This really stumped Jiang Mengxue. She had always called her children by their names in order and hadn't yet chosen any names.
But when I think about it, I really should give him a nickname. It's not okay to keep calling him the second, third, fourth, and fifth.
The second child, a boy, has always been well-behaved, emotionally stable, and the least worrying and most obedient.
Jiang Mengxue was worried that such a child would be neglected by adults, so she named him Manman, which means full of blessings.
The third child is a girl, sweet and soft, named Zhizhi. The word "Zhi" means to know, insight, and understanding. It also implies knowledge and cultivation, profound learning, and good manners.
Don’t even mention the fourth child, he’s a complete naughty kid and the most noisy among them, so let’s call him Nao Nao. You can tell his personality just by listening to the name.
As for Xiaowu, he is the smallest and the slowest in development. Jiang Mengxue only hopes that he can be healthy and eat well, even when he is full.
Each child's name is simple and has the most understandable meaning.
Jiang Mengxue said, "We haven't chosen a full name yet, but we have nicknames. The second child will be called Manman, the third child will be Zhizhi, the fourth child will be Naonao, and the fifth child will be Baobao. Or you can just call them by their order."
As for why she didn't name it after the calligraphy, Jiang Mengxue simply felt it was unnecessary.
Mobao is the first child in the family and indeed the most cherished one.
The names of the younger ones are also given according to their personality traits, and when the full name is given, we will follow the calligraphy works to name them.
After the baby has a name, everyone in the family will start calling it by name. The baby should also be made aware of his or her name so that he or she will respond when his or her name is called in the future.
Everyone thinks quadruplets are a blessing and very rare.
But it's too painful for people with children.
The four children have to be fed and have their diapers changed together, and every time they wake up they have to be coaxed together.
The adults in the family are completely busy.
Luan Huiying sleeps in the same room with Jiang Mengxue at night to take care of Zhizhi and Baobao.
Manman and Naonao were carried to their house by Li Cuiying, and their calligraphy was taken away as well.
I just want Jiang Mengxue to have a better rest at night.
Except for getting up to feed the baby at night, Luan Huiying is the one who is busy all the other time.
After a few days, none of the adults in the family looked good, and their dark circles were very obvious.
The wound is almost healed, but Jiang Mengxue still has to go to the hospital to remove the stitches.
Qin Lan is a very professional doctor. Her techniques and the way she sutures wounds are very special. At least Jiang Mengxue's wound does not look scary.
After the stitches are removed and you let it heal slowly, the scar will not look obvious.
In the later stage, you can use scar removal lotion, which may even remove the scar.
During the confinement period, because I ate well and got enough nutrition, I had enough milk to feed two babies at a time.
During the day, the three older ones take turns drinking breast milk, and at night only Baobao and Zhizhi are fed.
Except for a few groans when they were hungry, the other times the two children were quiet.
But this is hard for Li Cuiying and Gu Zhenjiang next door.
Every night I could hear the two children next door crying, and their noisy voices could wake up several nearby neighbors.
Mo Bao was so annoyed by the noise that he went to Jiang Mengxue's room at night with his little pillow.
