Chapter 388 Thank you for your hard work, wife
Qin Qingyao lay back on the bed, gasping for breath. Her lower body was in pain, but she truly felt relaxed all over.
"What are you standing there for? Look at the child. Is it a boy or a girl?"
Dugu Yu let go of his hand in a daze, lifted up Qin Qingyao's skirt, and saw a red and wet little thing howling with its mouth wide open, with a little blood on its body.
Dugu Yu cut the umbilical cord himself. After wiping the baby's body clean with the soft cotton cloth he had prepared long ago, he quickly wrapped it in a small quilt and placed it next to Qin Qingyao. "Look at our daughter..."
Dugu Yu's face was filled with anxiety, excitement and pride, as if he couldn't wait to jump up and spin around a few more times.
Qin Qingyao looked at the little wrinkled ball, and her expectant face immediately fell. "Why is she so ugly?"
Dugu Yu immediately brought the child back to his chest, and even used one hand to gently cover her little ears. He looked at Qin Qingyao in protest, "She's not ugly! The baby is very beautiful. She will definitely be a great beauty when she grows up!"
After Dugu Yu finished speaking, he stretched out a finger and carefully tapped the baby's face, "As beautiful as mother!"
Qin Qingyao smiled. Maybe he just hasn't grown up yet. This little thing's parents are both good-looking, so he won't look bad no matter how big he grows!
Thinking this way, she looked at the little thing in Dugu Yu's arms with increasing satisfaction, "The baby is so well behaved. She didn't bother me in my belly and was born so neatly. She will definitely be a gentle and obedient little lady in the future! I was worried that the child would be difficult to raise, but now I can worry less."
Isn’t it so simple? The baby was born before the dumplings were even out of the pot!
When the midwife and the doctor were dragged back to the house by Zhao Jinghan, they thought the lady's condition was very critical and were so scared that their faces turned pale.
When he came back, he saw his wife holding the baby on the bed with a kind face, and his husband sitting by the bed with a bowl, feeding his wife dumplings.
Zhao Jinghan, “…”
"Has the lady given birth?"
Qin Qingyao looked at Zhao Jinghan and nodded proudly, "Do you want to see her?"
Zhao Jinghan swallowed his saliva, took two steps forward nervously, stretched out his hand and then retracted it, "No, I don't know how to hold a baby. What if I get hurt..."
Every line on Dugu Yu's face was shouting with pride, "Miss!"
Zhao Jinghan's eyes brightened even more when he heard this. It was obvious that he, like Dugu Yu, had been secretly hoping that Qin Qingyao would give birth to a girl.
"I have a heavy hand. It would be bad if I hurt the young lady."
The midwife saw that she had no courage at all and didn't want to make a wasted trip, so she hurried over and said, "It's okay, holding a baby is not difficult, you can learn it."
After Qin Qingyao's consent, the midwife brought the child over. Seeing her teaching her baby daughter on the spot, Dugu Yu curled his lips in worry, but in the end he did not offend Qin Qingyao. He swallowed his dissatisfaction and continued to feed Qin Qingyao dumplings without standing up to stop her.
The little doll in Zhao Jinghan's hand was much lighter than he had imagined, but it felt like a thousand pounds heavy on his heart. Zhao Jinghan was so nervous that his hair stood on end.
Although he didn't help much, Dugu Yu still gave a big red envelope to the midwife and the doctor, so that they could go back happily to celebrate the New Year.
This New Year has become extremely joyful because of the addition of our little baby.
Although Qin Qingyao's behavior from pregnancy to childbirth was completely different from what the doctor had threatened him, Dugu Yu still strictly followed the doctor's instructions that people in confinement are absolutely not allowed to go out and get exposed to the wind.
So tonight, Qin Qingyao can't stay up all night to celebrate the New Year.
She was indeed tired after giving birth, and after eating the New Year's Eve dinner, she fell on the bed and fell asleep quickly.
Dugu Yu was in an excited state the whole time and had no desire to sleep at all. He stayed by the bed, looking at his wife and then at his daughter, with the smile on his face never disappearing.
He reached out and gently stroked Qin Qingyao's face, his heart filled with happiness. How could there be such a wonderful person in this world?
It seemed that from the day he met Qin Qingyao, his world had completely changed. It became colorful, full of laughter, and became more and more perfect.
Everything he had obtained today was so beautiful that it even made him feel panic.
I am so afraid that this is all a dream, I am so afraid that all this will leave him, I am so afraid that this happiness will be envied by God and taken back.
Dugu Yu leaned over and gently kissed Qin Qingyao on the forehead. She had indeed gained weight after becoming pregnant, with more flesh on her face and a soft body, which made her look very cute.
Warm lips brushed across the tip of my nose, and just as I was about to taste the sweetness from my lover's mouth, the little thing in the bed opened its mouth and started crying.
Dugu Yu was startled and quickly picked up the child. The nanny said that when a newborn baby cries at night, there are generally two reasons: either he has urinated or he is hungry!
Dugu Yu quickly touched the baby's little butt and found it was dry.
Then, before Qin Qingyao was woken up, he undressed her and placed the baby on her chest.
The little one who found the food instinctively bit it and then ate it with relish.
Qin Qingyao was really tired. She frowned and just showed signs of waking up, but her crying stopped and she fell asleep again.
Dugu Yu helped her wrap the quilt tightly, and looking at her sleeping face, his heart softened, "Thank you for your hard work, my wife!"
Qin Qingyao always called him husband, and he was used to it. She once called herself his wife, but he never did.
This was the first time he called her that. He didn't quite understand why, but he felt warm in his heart, as if he had achieved something great. He felt a little nervous, a little shy, and a lot of satisfaction.
The little one fell asleep while eating, with milk droplets at the corners of his mouth.
Dugu Yu helped her wipe her mouth and then helped Qin Qingyao clean her body. It was already late at night when he finished taking care of these two babies.
This was the happiest New Year's Eve he had ever spent, as he was watching over the two most important women in his life.
He changed the baby's diaper again, then tiptoed onto the bed and held the mother and daughter in his arms.
Qin Qingyao didn't wake up until the middle of the morning the next day because she was hungry.
At this time, the baby had already fed twice and was sleeping with bubbles at the corners of his mouth.
Qin Qingyao woke up and reached out to poke her face. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that this little thing seemed to be prettier than yesterday.
There seemed to be two fewer wrinkles on her face, and her skin was a little whiter.
After putting the child on the bed, Qin Qingyao got up, dressed and went downstairs when Dugu Yu came in with a bowl of pigeon soup and a tray of dumplings.
Seeing Qin Qingyao preparing to wash her hands in the basin, he was so scared that he quickly put down what he was holding and carried Qin Qingyao back to bed.
"What are you doing? The water in the basin is cold. You can't touch it. Wait a moment. I'll get you some hot water."
"Don't be so strict, I'm just washing my hands."
Dugu Yu let Qin Qingyao sit on the bed and said seriously, "You can't wash your hands either. The doctor said that you must not catch a cold during the confinement period, otherwise you will suffer in the future."
"From now on, if I'm not around, tell Baizhi and the others to do anything you need. Don't go out casually. The doctor said you absolutely can't be exposed to cold wind during the confinement period, otherwise you will have a headache later."
Qin Qingyao rolled her eyes helplessly towards the sky. Why didn't she know before that Dugu Yu also had the potential to be a nanny?
But to be honest, although I looked unhappy on the surface, I was clearly feeling happy inside.
"Then ask them to prepare some hot water for me. I want to take a bath. I was sweating all over yesterday when I gave birth to that little thing, especially my legs. It was so uncomfortable."
Dugu Yu pursed his lips and said firmly, "No, the doctor said that you can't wash your hair or take a bath during the confinement period."
Qin Qingyao, "..."
Dugu Yu took off Qin Qingyao's shoes, helped her adjust the pillow so that she could lean against the headboard, and then carefully tucked in the quilt. "Don't be angry. The doctor said you must not get angry during confinement."
Why didn’t I know you were so obedient before? I’ve never seen you carry out the imperial edict so strictly!
"Wait two days, and I'll let you wash it after two days, okay?"
"You said it!"
"Yes, yes, I promise! I asked the kitchen to make some pigeon soup. Mammy said it's good to drink. You can drink some while it's hot. There are also meat buns."
"Is there anything you want to eat? I'll ask the kitchen to make it for you. Today is the first day of the new year, and many shops outside are still closed. After the third day, more shops will be open. If you want something and it's not available at home, I'll go out and buy it for you."
Qin Qingyao watched Dugu Yu chattering non-stop, while her hands were never idle. She filled a bowl of pigeon soup and brought it to the bedside, then picked up a spoon to feed her.
She looked at Dugu Yu seriously before opening her mouth and drinking the soup.
"What's wrong with you? Doesn't it taste good?"
Qin Qingyao shook her head. "No, it tastes good."
"I just feel..."
"What do you think?"
"You haven't looked after the child since you came into the room."
"Isn't she asleep? Wait until she wakes up and see."
"I thought...after you knew I was pregnant, you were completely different. You treated me like I was made of clay. You were so nice to me, like you were holding me in your hands for fear of dropping me, and holding me in your mouth for fear of melting me. I thought it was all because of the baby."
In fact, Qin Qingyao was not unhappy about this matter. After all, if she were honest, Dugu Yu had always been very good to her, and he became even better after having a child, which made her a little jealous.
She thought that after giving birth to the child, Dugu Yu's attention should be entirely on the child, and at least half of his meticulous care for her should be devoted to the child.
But now it seems that it is not the case. Dugu Yu is still as worried about her, and she still feels so clearly that in Dugu Yu's eyes, she is more important than anyone else in the world.
This made her feel warm in her heart, but also a little guilty that she had misunderstood him.
Dugu Yu raised his hand and gently brushed the back of Qin Qingyao's head, then gently pressed his forehead against Qin Qingyao's, "Qingqing, I love you."
