Chapter 92 Confinement
Lin Momo stayed in the hospital. After the doctor checked and found no problems, she was ready to be discharged.
The morning after being discharged from the hospital, Cheng Jinghao first sent a telegram to Cheng's mother in Beijing, telling her about Lin Momo's situation and the time when Lin's mother would return to Beijing.
A lot of good things were transferred from the space, which were for Lin Momo to use during her confinement.
After finishing all this, he went back to the hospital to complete the discharge procedures for Lin Momo.
He also took the things that Lin's mother and Zhou Weihong had packed and put them in the car.
When they returned to the ward, Lin's mother had already dressed Lin Momo in a military coat, a thick scarf, and a large cotton hat, covering her whole body tightly, leaving only a pair of big eyes exposed.
Cheng Jinghao helped her into the car. Lin's mother and Zhou Weihong also sat in the back seat of the car, holding a child who was wrapped tightly.
"Our babies, it's time to go home." Lu Xiao, Lin's mother and Zhou Weihong kept talking while patting the children.
At home, Li He had already lit the coal stove and the kang early, waiting for them to come back.
Liu Qian and Luo Yumei had already prepared the meal, waiting for them to come back and have a hot meal.
When the car stopped at the gate of the yard, Li He ran out quickly and took a child from Lin's mother.
"It's windy outside, let's go in."
Cheng Jinghao helped Lin Momo into the room. "It's so hot." She couldn't help but say that the coal stove was burning very vigorously.
Cheng Jinghao helped her take off her general's coat, and then took out her cotton hat and scarf. "You can rest on the kang." He helped her get a thin hat to wear. It was prepared by Lin's mother for her to wear during the confinement period.
Mother Lin and Zhou Weihong placed the children in Mother Lin's room. Anyway, Lin Momo didn't need to breastfeed, so she could have a good confinement.
"These two boys look so alike, but the little girl is a little different, she looks like Momo." Li He gathered around the children with admiration.
"The one with the mole on the left earlobe is the older brother, the one with the mole on the right earlobe is the younger brother, and our sister is clean." Zhou Weihong said with a smile.
"You're such a rare person." The maid also knew that such a big baby needed rest. Lin Momo was also in confinement after giving birth and couldn't stand the wind, so she said hello and went back.
Aunt Wu heard the news that Lin Momo had returned, and hurried over.
It was made clear to everyone that since Cheng Jinghao had to train, Lin's mother would take care of Lin Momo, while Zhou Weihong and Aunt Wu would take care of the child.
At the request of the young couple, they take care of the child themselves at night. This child is easy to take care of and seldom wakes up at night.
In this way, Zhou Weihong and Aunt Wu also went back to look after the house at night.
Mother Lin handed the child to her two aunts and went to pack up the things Cheng Jinghao brought back.
"Where did you get this chicken?" Lin's mother couldn't help but ask.
"I asked someone to call from the mountain, don't worry." Knowing Lin's mother's concerns, Cheng Jinghao explained.
"I'll go to the mountains to hunt two pheasants tomorrow. I can't go without chicken to eat during this period of confinement." He originally planned to slaughter the two hens that laid eggs at home, but Lin Momo wouldn't let him.
"That's right. The chickens we raise at home can't move. We have to rely on them to produce eggs." Lin's mother advised.
"Your daughter has already told me not to move."
"That's fine."
"You can use the things at home. I'll get more if you need them." Cheng Jinghao said, worried that Lin's mother would be reluctant to part with the things.
"As my own daughter, I will definitely be willing to do so." Mother Lin said with a smile.
“Well, I’ll go take care of Momo then.” Cheng Jinghao gutted the chicken, cleaned it, and went back to the house.
At dinner time, Zhou Weihong and Aunt Wu both declined to eat at Cheng's house. They both received a salary from the military region, so how could they have the nerve to stay and eat other people's food?
So when it was time for dinner, they all went back home.
In the evening, Lin's mother and Cheng Jinghao brought the children to the inner room. Lin Momo looked at the two children lying side by side on the kang, her face filled with a happy smile.
"Tangyuan looks like you. She will definitely be pretty when she grows up." Cheng Jinghao said with a smile as he looked at his daughter's little face.
"What? Are you starting to dislike dumplings and noodles?" Lin Momo glared at him.
"What's so good about those little brats?" He picked up his two sons and put them in the stroller.
"Cheng Jinghao, you are a little too much. They are still young."
"Wife, recall your sleeping posture before you accuse me." He reminded that if they really put all the children on the kang, wouldn't the children grow up to be lumps of flour and glutinous rice?
"Well, then you can take Tangyuan away too." She looked at her daughter reluctantly.
Cheng Jinghao smiled, carried Tangyuan to a separate crib, changed diapers for the children, and fed them milk powder.
"I'll get you some hot water to wash yourself."
"Okay." She nodded. Even if she didn't need to take a shower now, she could just wipe herself.
He fetched her some hot water and added some firewood to the kang, then went to the yard to wash the white diapers.
"Leave these to me to wash later. You should go and have a rest. You still have to train tomorrow." Lin's mother came out and said. She asked him to be busy for a while and he also cooked dinner.
"It's okay, Mom. Just leave the diapers here and I'll come back to wash them. The water is cold now, so I'm not afraid of the cold." Cheng Jinghao turned around and said to Lin's mother with a smile.
"Yeah, okay." Mother Lin stood and looked at him for a while before she smiled and went back to her room.
The next day, Cheng Jinghao started training.
Originally, they had some holidays, but now it was the snow season and they had a heavy training task. Aunt Zhou and Aunt Wu were at home, so he started training.
Lin's mother and Cheng's mother planned to let Lin Momo have a double confinement period, so every time the purchasing truck went to the city to buy things, Commander Chen would ask the canteen to bring more meat.
Cheng Jinghao would often go to the mountains to try his luck, and occasionally bring back some pheasants or pheasant eggs.
Lingquan water is used to make milk powder for the children every night, so the child looks stronger than the average newborn.
"In the past, twins in our village were like kittens, but this one is really strong." Aunt Wu said as she changed the eldest child's diaper.
"It's good to be strong. In the future, our dumplings and noodles will defend the country like their father, and our glutinous rice balls will learn a lot like their mother and benefit the village." Zhou Weihong touched the little face of glutinous rice balls.
"It's not as good as you say." Lin's mother walked in from outside with a smile.
"In our military district family compound, everyone says good things about our Momo. You are too modest." Zhou Weihong said with a smile.
"That's right. Now, we're all waiting to drink the full moon wine for this little one. We'll have to set up a few more tables by then." Aunt Wu also said with a smile.
"Alas, I have to go back to Beijing in a few days, and I don't know when I will see you again." Mother Lin sighed as she looked at her little grandson.
Her vacation is about to end, and Cheng's mother should be here soon too.
"When they are free, they will bring the children back to see you." Zhou Weihong comforted them. She knew the pain of missing you. Cao Kai and the others were on the plateau, and they would only see each other once in a while.
