Chapter 283 Extra 2 - Raising a baby and naming (bug hunting)
Zhou Yizi tried his best to catch up, but still failed.
Zhou Yizi had just gotten into the car and left when the base received the news that Yi Hanxing had given birth. Unfortunately, Zhou Yizi only received the news when he arrived at the train station.
Yi Hanxing was lying at home at this time, with two babies who were only three days old crying loudly beside him.
"I really don't understand. One weighs just over five pounds, and the other weighs over four pounds. Why are their voices so loud?"
"Isn't it bad to have a loud voice?" Tian Xiude couldn't help but lecture Yi Hanxing on the spot: "A loud voice means the child is healthy!"
Yi Hanxing certainly hopes that the children will be healthy. The two of them together weigh more than nine kilograms, which is considered heavy among twin newborns. Even the doctor expressed his admiration for the good growth of the two children in their mother's womb.
Yi Hanxing thought, how could it not be good? The two of them grew for over seven months, nearly eight months (31 weeks), and when they were born, they each weighed four or five pounds, reaching a weight that didn't require hospitalization. She hadn't experienced any postpartum complications other than weight gain. This was definitely the time-traveling woman's golden finger! After traveling through time for over thirty years, she finally realized where the golden finger that God had always owed her had gone.
But the child cries too much!
Speaking of which, Yi Hanxing was very happy after giving birth, except for one problem: no breast milk.
"Look at you! You've gained so much weight for nothing!" Han Xing's mother muttered to Yi Hanxing.
Yi Hanxing was also helpless: "The doctor examined me and said that my prolactin secretion is abnormal. The preliminary diagnosis is a pituitary microadenoma. There's nothing I can do! Don't make me any lactation-inducing medicine. I have to go back to work in three months. I couldn't feed them anyway. Now is the time to advance so that the children won't be unable to adapt later."
“Your work…” Han Xing’s mother sighed, “Yes, you can also use milk powder and goat’s milk.”
Speaking of which, Han Xing's mother initially wanted to find a woman who gave birth around the same time to help feed the babies. After all, no matter how you think about it, two children to one mother might not be able to feed enough. But Yi Hanxing stopped her, saying, "Other mothers may not even have enough to eat for their own children. Besides, some mothers are in poor health, so they might not be able to produce enough milk. It would be better to raise a healthy lamb or buffalo and milk them."
At least these days, given how much people value their livestock, cattle and sheep eat well and sleep well, and are definitely in better health than most people who survived the war.
Han Xingniang then contacted the team leader and asked for milk from the village buffalo, and also raised a pregnant ewe herself.
The original plan was to return home after the birth, as there would be plenty of cow's milk and goat's milk. However, after the birth, everyone was worried that the child would not be healthy enough, so after discussing it, they decided to stay in the city for a while and move back when the child was two or three months old.
Originally, the problem was not big. After all, no matter how little milk a mother has, it is still easy to provide for the baby in the first few months. But Yi Hanxing
No breast milk either.
In this case, it becomes a real problem for children to drink milk.
"We still have some milk powder tickets. How about we go buy some milk powder first?"
"The key problem isn't that we don't have tickets!" Tian Xiude said. "The key is that the supply and marketing cooperatives don't have milk powder. I've inquired, and even when the milk powder arrives, it's all gone to city leaders, factory leaders, and people inside the supply and marketing cooperatives before it even hits the shelves. Even if we have tickets, we can't buy it."
"If there's nothing to buy, how can those who got the milk powder coupons not make a fuss?" Cheng Shen disagreed: "It must be useful. I'll go ask around."
Cheng Shen and Tian Xiu De had never asked for milk powder tickets before, as they exchanged them for industrial tickets and other bills. However, some other people asked for them, which shows that the tickets must still be useful.
"I asked your father to go back and get some goat milk! Fortunately, the weather isn't too hot now, so it can be stored for two days. I wonder if your eldest brother has bought some milk powder." Han Xing's mother muttered, and then said to Yi Hanxing: "It's you who can't even handle an emergency."
Milk powder is hard to buy here. After knowing that Yi Hanxing had no milk, everyone immediately went to find Yi Hongxing in the capital to buy milk powder. After all, the supply there is more sufficient.
It was under such circumstances that Zhou Yizi rushed to Han Xing's side.
Zhou Yizhi's first question was: "Does it hurt?"
"How can it not hurt!" Yi Hanxing said, "It would be strange if it didn't hurt." There is no painless delivery these days, and even if there is a painless delivery, there will still be pain for a while first.
Zhou Yizi foolishly placed his hand on Yi Hanxing's belly and continued to ask: "Are the children bothering you? Leave everything to me now that I'm here, and you should have a good rest." He looked very haggard.
"Not really." Yi Hanxing said, "I don't have breast milk, so the children are taken care of by my parents and my sister and brother-in-law. My second sister's two children have suffered a lot from my younger cousins."
Although Han Xing's mother always disliked Yi Hanxing for not having breast milk, how could she not feel distressed for her own daughter? If there was breast milk to feed the child, then there would be no way, the mother would definitely wake up at any time to breastfeed, but since there was no need to breastfeed, Han Xing's mother simply let Yi Hanxing have a good rest. Usually, the child was taken care of by everyone, and it was even easier at night. The little nephews and nieces were the ones who stayed up until 12 o'clock. After feeding and changing diapers after 12 o'clock, they sent the children to their grandparents' room and then went to bed. Han Xing's parents were the ones who went to bed and woke up early, waking up before 5 o'clock every day, just in time to get up early to take care of the children.
The family members' working hours were perfectly staggered, so everyone could get a good night's sleep, but my nephews and nieces, who were in their twenties, had to start taking care of children early.
The nephew and niece agreed to take turns, one on odd days and the other on even days. This means that if someone asks the nephew to go out and play on an odd day, he will ruthlessly refuse.
“
"Old Cheng, this is not right! We have called you so many times, but you always refused. What have you been doing recently? Why are you so busy?!" said the friend dissatisfiedly.
"You know what? I'm going home to take care of the kids!"
"Go home and take care of the baby? When did you have a baby?"
"Go away! Don't you know whether I'm married or not?"
"Then how did your child come about? Did your parents have him when they were old?" friends asked in surprise.
"Your father is still strong despite his old age!" a friend sighed.
The nephew's face was filled with gloom. "I really want to thank you on behalf of my parents! You really think highly of them."
The nephew then explained, "My aunt just gave birth to a baby! They happen to be staying at my house recently. I have to feed and change the baby's diapers on odd-numbered nights, so I can't hang out with you guys. If you want to date me next time, remember to pick an even-numbered day, okay?"
After hearing what the nephew said, the friend was surprised: "Your aunt gave birth and stayed at your house for the confinement period?"
"She came here when she was expecting. She gave birth in the city hospital. Wouldn't it be more convenient for me to stay at my house?"
"Your mother is so nice to her sister?" the friend asked in surprise. "She lets them live in your house. Isn't your place crowded now?"
"How can it not be crowded!" said the nephew, "Didn't my dad divide the room into two halves for me and my sister? Now my aunt and my sister live in one room, my parents live in my room, my grandparents live with my parents, and I live in the living room with my uncle."
My friend winked and said, "Will your dad be happy with that?"
"Why wouldn't I be happy about that?" the nephew said with a smile. "Just by looking at me taking care of the baby in the middle of the night, you should know what my dad's attitude is. When my sister and I are cooking, it's mostly my dad who takes care of the baby."
"My uncle is very broad-minded." A friend praised: "In our family, whether it is my aunt or my uncle who came to stay at home for confinement, my partner would nag me for a long time."
The little nephew didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "My aunt is only a few years older than me. My parents raised her and they have a very good relationship. It was my parents who took the initiative to invite people over. After my cousins were born, my aunt has never changed their diapers or put them to sleep."
A female friend of my nephew sighed with envy: "I wish my children could be like this in the future."
The nephew suggested: "Then remember to be a little more aggressive!"
My niece happened to hear this and said, "Brother, you're talking bad about me behind my back. I'm going to complain!"
"Go ahead." The nephew panicked for a moment, then immediately calmed down and said, "I will bite you to death for making a false accusation."
"Can't you give your sister some benefits to make her shut up?" the little niece said dissatisfiedly.
"Sorry, I've run out of money," said the nephew.
"What did you spend all that money on? It's not even here yet.
The end of the month!
"I just saw a baby stroller on the street and couldn't help but buy two. They will be useful in the future anyway..." The nephew said embarrassedly and asked the niece, "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to urge you to go home quickly! My uncle is back today and he said he wants to cook so we can have a big meal!" the little niece said excitedly.
The little nephew's eyes lit up and he said goodbye to his friend directly: "I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first!" After that, he turned around and said to his niece: "Let's run faster, otherwise dad and grandpa will steal all the food!"
Out of gratitude to his family and the desire to reward everyone, Zhou Yizi, after washing up, resolutely took over the reins of cooking.
Although Han Xing's father, mother, Tian Xiu De and his nephews and nieces can all cook, Han Xing's father and mother have grown older and their tastes have become heavier. Cooking is hard work and it is not good to keep the elderly busy. Tian Xiu De is busy every day, so the meals at home are cooked by his nephews and nieces in turn.
Although the two children, who have been in charge of the family's livelihood since elementary school, have many years of experience in the industry, they have always lacked the motivation to improve their cooking skills. They only cook so that they can eat it and they won't be unable to finish it if they eat it every day.
In comparison, Zhou Yizi, who married a foodie wife, loves to delve into cooking for the sake of love. He can be said to be the best cook in the whole house.
With Zhou Yizi's delicious reward, everyone was very satisfied with the meal.
After a full meal (no wine), Han Xing's father, who was trying to digest the food, suddenly thought of a question: "You haven't named your child yet! Your parents-in-law sent a telegram saying that you two can choose the name yourself. Have you thought about it?
Speaking of naming, Yi Hanxing and Zhou Yizi had really thought about it. After all, how many people who are preparing to get married would not want to discuss the name of their future child while they are in love?
It’s just that the names they chose were too childish, and Zhou Yizi really couldn’t say it out loud.
He couldn't tell the Tian family that the two named their children Zhouzhi Weekly Sunday News, Yitian Yiye Yige Yidatuo, right?
Of course, the names of people with the surname Tian are even more bizarre, so let’s not irritate the elderly.
Zhou Yizhi immediately responded: “We will think about it carefully.
Because of Zhou Yizi's arrival, the little niece moved into the master bedroom with her mother and grandmother, while her grandfather and father lived in the second bedroom, leaving space for the young couple, who had not seen each other for several months, to talk.
During the evening rest period, Zhou Yizi discussed with Yi Hanxing what name to give the child.
"Ah! It's really difficult to name something. Yi Hanxing sighed: "If I knew how to name something, how could I have written a novel called He Mansion Love Story?
"No matter how difficult it is, we must think about it. Zhou Yizi said: "This is a matter of great importance to the child's life!
"Then should we name it according to your family's generation name?
"No need, they are all Xinhua Country. Zhou Yizi said: "My newly born nephews and nieces are not named according to the characters of generation. We can name them ourselves. Besides, didn't we agree that a child will take your surname? Even the surname has been changed, do you still care about the characters of generation?"
"Then I'd better let the child have the surname Tian?" Yi Hanxing said: "If I let the child have the surname Yi, I'm afraid my parents will nag. What special and good name can I give him with the surname Tian?"
"I can't think of it." Zhou Yizi had to admit: "This is more difficult than our experiment.
The two naming failures looked at each other in confusion.
"If you ask me, why not call one Zhou Sige and the other Tian Jiji!" Yi Hanxing immediately decided: "Perfect fusion of parents' names!"
Zhou Yizhi: "...I think the children will hate us, think twice!
