Chapter 899 Extra (3)
"Yangyang, does it hurt somewhere?"
When Le Yan opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Fu Nian'an.
Fu Nian'an looked at her with concern.
Le Yan found it difficult to speak.
"What's wrong?" Fu Nian'an was a little anxious when she saw that she didn't speak. "If you're not feeling well, just say so. Don't be afraid, we're all here for you."
"Please call a nurse in for me."
Upon hearing this, Fu Nian'an immediately pressed the nurse call button and summoned the doctor.
After the doctor came in, Le Yan wanted Fu Nian'an to leave, but Fu Nian'an was worried.
"You can leave now." Le Yan looked troubled. "I'm fine. I just have something to ask the doctor."
The doctor, having been through similar experiences, understood everything from Le Yan's condition.
The doctor looked at Fu Nian'an and gently reminded him, "Mr. Fu, please go out first. I need to do a check-up for Mrs. Fu."
Upon hearing this, Fu Nian'an paused, then nodded, turned and walked out of the room.
The door closed, and Le Yan looked at the doctor, somewhat embarrassed: "Um, my breasts are very swollen..."
The doctor smiled and said gently, "Mrs. Fu, this is normal. Most women start producing milk the day after giving birth, and breast engorgement is inevitable. Let me check you first."
Le Yan bit her lip and nodded.
She had actually done some research before giving birth, including comparing the advantages and disadvantages of breastfeeding and formula feeding.
Leyan wanted to breastfeed even before giving birth.
After the doctor finished the examination, he said that Leyan's breast milk was okay, but since she had twins, the two babies had greater needs, so mixed feeding should be considered.
"Both children are in good health. With mixed feeding, breast milk can enhance their immunity, and formula can meet the needs of both babies at the same time. But this means that it will be a little more tiring for the mother."
Le Yan is not afraid of hardship. These two children are the result of three years of arduous pregnancy preparation. She wants to give them the best of everything in the world.
Breastfeeding does have many benefits for the child, and Leyan's circumstances are also quite good, so there is no reason not to persist.
Leyan was willing to breastfeed, so the doctor arranged for a nurse to bring the baby over to assist her in breastfeeding.
Because of her injuries, Le Yan's movements were not very convenient when feeding the baby. In addition, the baby was small and not very good at eating. After struggling for a long time, the baby cried in frustration, and Le Yan herself was covered in sweat.
The older sister finished eating first, then it was the younger brother's turn. The younger brother has a short temper, and he started crying after trying it a couple of times.
When the baby cried, Leyan became even more flustered. Fortunately, the doctor and nurses were there to help, and she managed to feed the baby despite the bumps and bruises.
After the two children had finished eating, the nurse took them away.
Le Yan was exhausted and covered in sweat, looking rather listless.
This was the first time since giving birth that she truly realized that being a mother is not an easy thing.
The doctor noticed that Le Yan was a little frustrated and encouraged her, saying, "Mrs. Fu, you did a great job and were very brave. Most mothers who have had a C-section are afraid to breastfeed for the first few days, but you breastfed two babies all at once. In all my years of medical practice, you are the bravest and greatest mother I have ever seen!"
Le Yan was initially a little discouraged, but after hearing the doctor's words, she felt much more comforted.
"Thank you, I was afraid I wouldn't do a good job."
"Mrs. Fu, you've done a great job. The baby has just been born, so take it slow and don't put too much pressure on yourself. The doctors, nurses, and your family will all help you. Keep going!"
Le Yan nodded, touched.
...
After the doctor left, he briefly explained the feeding situation of Le Yan to Fu Nian'an.
When Fu Nian'an came in again, Le Yan was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, her brows slightly furrowed, looking somewhat tired.
He sighed inwardly, feeling a pang of heartache.
“I asked around, and it’s true that you can raise a child very well by exclusively feeding them with formula.” Fu Nian’an walked over, sat down next to Le Yan, and took out a few tissues to wipe the fine sweat from her forehead.
Le Yan slowly opened her eyes and looked at him.
Their eyes met, and Fu Nian'an said gently, "Didn't you say before that you would go back to school after four months of recovery following childbirth? Since that's the case, why not just give up breastfeeding?"
“This is what I thought before I gave birth.” Le Yan looked at Fu Nian’an, pursed her lips, and sighed: “But now that the children are born, I can’t bear to part with them. I can wait until they go to school. The most important thing now is to take good care of them.”
Fu Nian'an wanted to persuade her further, but Le Yan's attention and love for the child exceeded Fu Nian'an's expectations.
Since the birth of her children, Le Yan has devoted herself entirely to them. She truly loves her two children and wishes she could give them everything she has.
Although Fu Nian'an also loves children, he doesn't want to see Le Yan sacrifice herself for them time and time again.
However, Le Yan had just given birth, and her hormone levels were fluctuating wildly. The psychologist had reminded him more than once that he should pay extra attention to the mother's emotions during this period and try to be more understanding and accommodating. Therefore, after much consideration, Fu Nian'an did not bring up the matter of canceling breastfeeding again.
...
On the fifth day postpartum, the matter of naming the twins was put on the agenda.
Fu Nian'an and his family unanimously agreed that such an important matter as naming should be decided by Le Yan.
Le Yan was deeply moved by Fu Nian'an and his family's good intentions, but she felt that since they were family, they could discuss the matter of naming together.
After some discussion, it was decided that everyone would come up with a name together.
Shen Qingshu mentioned, "Nian'an and Xiao Ning's names were decided when Si Yan and I remarried. The names themselves weren't changed, but the surnames were kept from their parents. I was thinking, since our in-laws only have one daughter, Yan Yan, why don't you think one of these two children should also have the surname Lin?"
Upon hearing this, everyone agreed that the suggestion was feasible.
Fu Siyan also supported this idea.
Le Yan was extremely shocked. Lin Minsheng had dedicated his entire life to her, his daughter. In the Minnan region, having no offspring was considered a great act of filial impiety, and this had always been Le Yan's greatest regret.
The fact that the Fu family is willing to let one of their children take the surname Lin is the greatest care and recognition they can give to Le Yan and Lin Minsheng.
With so many people, there were so many ideas. In one day, everyone came up with more than a dozen names, and everyone thought they were pretty good. The whole family was suddenly faced with a dilemma of choice.
Finally, Fu Nian'an suggested, "Let the two children choose for themselves."
To be fair, the surnames were also randomly selected. Everyone put the names they had thought of into a plate and let the two children draw lots.
In the end, the older sister caught 'Fu Yihan'; the younger brother caught 'Lin Yixu'.
Once the formal name was decided, the nickname followed.
The older sister is named "Yi Yi" and the younger brother is named "Mu Mu".
That day, Fu Nian'an posted a photo on her WeChat Moments with the caption: "[My dearest ones.]"
In the photo, a man's large hand holds a woman's soft, beautiful hand, while in the woman's palm, two small hands are tightly clasped together.
This is the most beautiful aspect of life.
