Chapter 38: Care for Changyi, Care for Chang'an

Hearing this, Su He said, "Mom and Dad, my sister's name is Gu Changyi and my brother's name is Gu Changan. I hope they live a happy and peaceful life."

"Changyi, Chang'an, good, good, good." Mother Gu said three good words in a row, and Father Gu said, "Xiaohe is a good name."

Su He smiled. Her daughter in the article had a very unhappy life. She hoped that her daughter would get what she wanted in this life, and all her dreams would come true and everything would be as she wished!

In the article, her son died in a car accident, so she hopes that her son can live safely in this life and do what he wants.

At noon, Su's father came over with food, including stewed old hen, millet porridge, and boiled eggs.

He said, "Dad will stew pig's trotters for you tonight."

While Xiao He was in confinement after childbirth, her in-laws prepared thirty old hens, so naturally, as her parents, they couldn't be short of something.

In about two months, he got pig's trotters from the slaughterhouse little by little and collected thirty pig's trotters.

During the confinement period, eat one a day.

The third brother also sent five packets of instant noodles, which are perfect for the girl to eat during her confinement period.

Su's father thought so.

Although Su He gave birth quickly, it also consumed a lot of her energy and she was already hungry. She had a big bowl of millet porridge, a big bowl of chicken soup, a big chicken drumstick and two eggs.

There was also a chicken leg in the pot, but Su's mother was afraid that she would eat too much and not be able to digest it in a short time, so she didn't let her eat it. After all, she had just given birth.

Upon hearing that Su He had given birth, Su Xiao and Pei Chuwei also came to see her, but they had to go to work in the afternoon, so they went back after staying for a while.

After Su He took the postpartum recovery pills, she is no longer in any serious condition and is breastfeeding smoothly.

But I still stayed in the hospital for two days.

He was discharged from the hospital on the third day.

On the day of discharge from the hospital, Su He was wrapped up like a dumpling by his mother. Her mother said, "Just expose your eyes, but don't let the wind catch a bit."

Gu's mother didn't come. She was at home heating the kang, cleaning the house, and cooking. Then Gu's father came.

There were no cars in those days, so Gu's father found a horse-drawn carriage, which was the one used to load corn in their village. It had a box and could withstand the wind from all directions.

Father Gu put a quilt in the box and took out another set of quilts to cover himself.

Su He got into the car first, and Gu Jianhua handed the child to her. He then got in, and then Su's mother gave him the other child.

Father Su took out four hot water bottles from his arms and said, "My dear, keep these four with you."

I was afraid that Su He would catch a cold.

The young couple each held a baby, and Su He placed a hot water bottle on her belly and one on her legs.

The remaining two are placed under the baby.

"Brother, you guys go ahead, we'll be there in a while." Father Su said to Father Gu.

Father Gu said, "Okay."

The carriage rumbled along very quickly and we reached home in half an hour.

"Mom, they are back."

Second sister Gu also came. She called into the house and came over to help hold the baby. Mother Gu followed closely behind her, "You must be cold, Xiaohe."

"Come in, come in."

Sister Gu said, "The kang is heated very warm for you."

Su He was escorted into the east room by a few people. As soon as he entered the room, he felt the warmth that hit his nose. There were two braziers in the room. He reached out and touched the kang, which was so hot that it burned his hands.

Gu Jianhua, "Mom, you are overheated. It's so hot."

Mother Gu glared at him, "What do you know? A woman who has just given birth cannot catch a cold, or she will get sick."

Comrade Gu Jianhua, please shut up.

Su He got on the kang, and Gu's mother spread a mattress on it. She said, "Xiao He, sit on it. It's too hard during the confinement period. Your butt will hurt when you get old."

Su He: There is also this

Mother Gu: Yes.

"Okay, Mom." Su He sat on the mattress and prepared to sit against the wall.

Gu's mother quickly stopped him, "Oh, you can't sit like this, the wall is cold and hard, Xiaohe, lean on the pillow."

Su He sat there leaning against the pillow. Well, apart from the evil spirits, she was no different from an ordinary person in other aspects.

After settling the mother down, it’s time to look after the baby.

After unwrapping the blanket, the two kids' bottoms were clean. Mother Gu and second sister Gu praised them, "Look how well behaved our Changyi and Changan are. They didn't pee or poop during the whole journey."

"It's not that the butt is clean and fresh."

But not long after the two of them finished talking, the eldest son, Gu Changyi, suddenly grinned and cried, then pulled Gu's mother's hand.

After the sister finished, the brother started.

Fortunately, Second Sister Gu raised her hand quickly and did not pull her hand.

Mother Gu said, "Oh, my eldest granddaughter is so amazing. She always reminds grandma before she poops."

Su He covered his face. Can this be exaggerated?

Second sister Gu responded, "It's not like other babies would cry, they just pooped." She even wanted to poop other children.

Other children: You are so noble, so great, but you cry when you poop~

Sister Gu cleaned up her brother's poop, while Mother Gu called Gu Jianhua in and said, "Wipe your daughter's butt. I'm going to wash my hands."

To be honest, Gu Jianhua was very afraid of these small arms and legs, fearing that he would break them if he used a little force.

So be careful when wiping.

In response, Sister Gu sighed, "Look after your son, I'll do it."

Gu Jianhua muttered, "I'm almost done."

Second sister Gu ignored him, took over from her sister, and finished wiping it in two quick strokes.

Just at this moment, Gu's mother came in with a basin of warm water and said, "Wash the child's butt." Otherwise it would turn red.

After washing the two kids' butts, feeding them, and burping them for a while, the few of them had some free time.

Su He and Gu Jianhua were completely new parents and knew nothing. She needed someone to teach her how to breastfeed and she didn't even know how to hold a baby.

Gu Jianhua was even more so. After holding the child, he would not move and would just stand there.

It was Gu's mother and second sister who helped, and every other person took care of the breastfeeding.

After the child fell asleep, Sister Gu said, "Don't worry, you will learn it slowly. When I gave birth to Mingyue, I didn't know anything either."

Su He and Gu Jianhua nodded.

Mother Gu said, "Xiao He, you must be hungry. I'll serve you some rice. Eat it while the child is sleeping."

"good."

The meal was of course stewed chicken soup, millet porridge, and eggs. This was the best confinement meal for them in this era.

As for Su's father and mother, Su's mother took three days off directly after her girlfriend gave birth to a child, but Su's father did not take any leave because he worked at night and it did not affect the daytime.

After seeing off Su He and his friends, the two of them went home to get the prepared pig's trotters, noodles, more than ten pounds of pork ribs, brown sugar, and red dates, and went to Gu's house.

Her daughter-in-law was very kind to her and prepared thirty chickens for her during her confinement.

But that was prepared by the husband's family, so they, as the bride's family, also have to prepare it, otherwise outsiders will think that they, as the parents, don't love their daughter.

Besides, if you eat chicken and drink chicken soup every day, you will probably get tired of it. It is best to eat chicken and pork alternately.
