Chapter 142: Confinement
142 Postpartum
After baby Hengheng and baby Fantuan reached their full month old, Shen Yiyi could actually leave the confinement period.
However, Qin's mother asked her to stay in confinement for another twelve days, saying that she had given birth to twins and her body was exhausted, so she should stay in confinement for a few more days and there was no need to rush.
Qin Sangu also said so, asking him to sit still for a few more days and not to rush out to see the wind.
Shen Yiyi has no experience, but she knows that Qin's mother and Qin Sangu love her, so of course she won't be stubborn.
So her confinement period was extended, and she stayed in bed for forty-two days.
During these forty-two days, Shen Yiyi really didn't touch a drop of raw water.
It can be said that she has been a mother for 42 days. If she is asked to give the child a bath now, she will be at a loss!
Because there is absolutely no chance for her to intervene, so she won’t do that at all!
Not to mention taking a bath, even changing diapers was a little unfamiliar to her, and Qin Lie's skills were better than hers.
Because whenever he came back, he would rush over to change, and after doing that, he finally mastered it.
Shen Yiyi is basically just responsible for breastfeeding, she really doesn't need to worry about anything else.
Because of this, after the month of confinement, I felt like a completely new person and recovered very well.
Qin's mother and Qin Sangu both felt a sense of accomplishment after seeing this, and that's why they let her leave the confinement period.
It was not until the day she left confinement that Shen Yiyi started washing her hair.
Before this, I only took a shower and never washed my hair.
Although the weather has been cool during this period, and I was just exercising at home so I didn't sweat much, I didn't wash my hair until the 42nd day. I can't even begin to describe how painful it was.
She feels that if she squeezes her hair, the oil can be used for cooking.
Look, after washing my hair, I feel as light as a swallow!
Only after she officially finished her confinement did Shen Yiyi start going out for a walk.
Mother Qin and Aunt Qin San both came out holding their children.
I specially asked someone to make a baby stroller for me, and the two brothers put their baby in it and pushed it out.
If I keep holding it, I’m afraid my arms won’t be able to bear it.
After more than a month of growth, the brothers Hengheng and Fantuan have grown from a little over 5 kilograms to over 10 kilograms now.
From birth to now, 42 days, he has grown nearly five kilograms. He is really well taken care of.
Because Shen Yiyi had no experience in raising children, she wanted to breastfeed the two brothers, but she was afraid that the food would not be enough to feed them, so they ate a lot.
The final result is that even if she gave birth to quadruplets this time, she felt that she could handle it and it was not a big problem!
No kidding, her milk production is so high that any cow would say it’s awesome.
So not only do we not have to worry about not having enough to eat, on the contrary there will be a lot left over.
Of course, the rest can only be squeezed out and thrown away.
There is another funny thing here.
Didn’t Gu Xiaoxi come over for lunch now? After lunch, she would spend time with her younger brothers. She also saw them drinking milk.
The little girl is an only child and she used to eat it, but she must have forgotten it after growing up. Seeing her younger brothers drinking happily, she also became greedy and wanted to drink it.
But she had never asked for it. At her age, she definitely couldn't compete with her brothers for food. But when she saw Qin Sangu pouring out the milk that day, she ran over to find Shen Yiyi.
I asked embarrassedly: Aunt Shen, can you let me drink the milk that is about to be poured out?
Shen Yiyi asked her if she wanted to drink?
Gu Xiaoxi nodded vigorously to show that he wanted to.
What's the problem? Just give it to her and see.
I thought she wouldn't like it after drinking it once, but it turns out she really likes it.
Chu Bing didn't know about it at first, but when he came back and saw his daughter drinking, he found out about it and his expression was indescribable.
Gu Xiaoxi doesn't care about her mother. Wouldn't it be nice for her to drink milk together with her brothers?
Not only did her younger brothers gain weight, but she also gained a lot of baby fat!
This also made Chu Bing laugh and cry.
After staying at home for forty-two days, now it’s time to go out and visit friends and relatives.
When the new sister-in-law in the family building saw them taking the child out, she smiled and said hello: "You are out of confinement after childbirth, do you want to go for a walk?"
"Yes, sister-in-law, where are you going?" Shen Yiyi replied.
"Let's go to the vegetable market. Vegetables are cheap now! Have you bought any at home? Do you want me to help buy some for you?" The sister-in-law was carrying a basket.
"Thank you, sister-in-law, but I've already bought it this morning. You go ahead."
The sister-in-law left.
Shen Yiyi, along with Qin's mother and Aunt Qin San, came over for a stroll in the family building.
On the way, Qin's mother said, "Do you remember the fight downstairs the day before yesterday?"
"Is it her?" Shen Yiyi asked.
Everyone had gone up to see her, but many people went up together at that time, so Shen Yiyi couldn't remember it clearly even after trying it once.
"Yes, it's her. She's from the Ma family. She fought particularly fiercely with the Wang family." Mother Qin nodded.
The one from the Wang family is Wang Cuifeng.
Aunt Qin couldn't help but say, "It was fine before, but now that the new neighbors have moved in, the Wang family is either quarreling with this family or fighting with that family. There's never any peace."
They live upstairs and downstairs, how could they not know each other?
One is Li Mingxia, who has a big mouth and always talks about gossip.
During the time when Shen Yiyi was in confinement, she told everyone about the stewed chicken and meat at home.
One is Wang Cuifeng.
Because there are many children, six in total, and those six children are naughty and cause a lot of trouble.
He fights with this kid today and that kid tomorrow, relying on the fact that he has many brothers to act like a tyrant.
As for Wang Cuifeng, she didn't even bow her head and apologize. How could she accept that? She endured it for a few times, but she started fighting the day before yesterday!
They had to go down and help to break up the fight, otherwise who knows what might have happened.
The neighborhood relations among these families downstairs are particularly tense now.
Shen Yiyi certainly didn't have a good impression of these two. Even if they brought eggs to her during her confinement period, she would return them.
I was originally planning to go over to see Zhou Xiaoyun and the others, but the operator came over and told me to go over to answer the phone.
The three of them turned around and went to the phone room. It was Qin Hong who called.
It's nothing important, I just wanted to call and ask my two nephews.
Of course, there is also the matter of new store openings.
Both Su Lihua and Zhong Bing opened new stores, and the new stores were decided after Qin Hong and Zhao Sixi helped to review and confirm them.
He also followed Shen Yiyi's instructions and directly bought the store he liked instead of renting it.
It opened in early May, and it has only been ten days, but business is very good.
"I don't have time to go back for now. I have to take care of the two brothers. As for the business matters, I'll have to leave them to you, my little sister, to take charge of the overall situation." Shen Yiyi said.
"Don't worry, Third Sister-in-law. I can't take your salary for nothing." Qin Hong said with a smile.
Since last year, her third sister-in-law has paid her 50 yuan a month, so she can earn money as a part-time accountant while a college student.
In addition, the school already provided subsidies, and she did not have any other major expenses. At most, she would go out for coffee, watch a movie or go to a restaurant with her good friend Qi Qingyu, but they could only go once or twice a month.
So most of the money was saved, and Qin Hong felt that she was a wealthy woman.
