Xu Manman said, "That means today is a good day." She knew that the college entrance examination would be resumed soon and two new lives were being born. This was a day full of hope, and there was no better day than this.
Xu Manman was worried about Xiaobao, so she chatted with him for a while and then went back to Wanfang's room to guard her.
Wan Fang was also busy. After she finished taking care of the adults and children at Liu Hua's place, she led the midwife to the next door. Even the midwife was surprised, "What a coincidence that your educated youth's place is in today. One day, this one comes out, and the next one is about to give birth."
Although she was a little tired, Wan Fang was in high spirits now. She smiled and said, "That's right. They both got pregnant at the same time."
She even took the time to joke with Yang Lili, "Hey, Lili, your two families are really destined to be together. Li Zhiqing and Zhan Zhiqing were childhood friends, and now they have children one after the other.
A big fat boy was just born over there. If you give birth to a daughter later, wouldn’t it be a good opportunity to arrange a marriage for her?"
Yang Lili rolled her eyes while screaming in pain, "I...I...my girl, don't...don't want to marry...that cheap...bad boy." But it also eased her nervousness a little.
The main reason she had a premature birth today was that she was worried about Liu Hua's delivery situation. As soon as the baby was born, she suddenly relaxed from her nervous state, and the baby was also excited to come out quickly.
Yang Lili gave birth relatively quickly. Around 2 a.m., another crisp cry woke up Xu Manman who was dozing off, and also woke up the others who had been waiting there all night.
Before Wan Fang asked outside, she raised her voice and said, "Zhan Zhiqing, congratulations, you also have a big fat boy. Mother and child are safe, and Lily is doing well."
"Okay, okay!" A big man of 186cm was a little choked up when he spoke.
By the time Wan Fang finished packing and returned to the house, another half hour had passed.
"Sister Fang, you've worked hard. I've got a basin of hot water. You can wipe yourself off before going to sleep. Do you want me to give you a day off tomorrow?"
After being tense for several hours, Wan Fang was really exhausted. "Well, please give me half a day tomorrow."
Xu Manman said goodbye and left.
Then, those who had stayed up all night packed up and went back to their rooms to sleep. Now, only Wan Fang's room, which she had just come out of, and the two rooms with the babies still had lights on.
The stars shine in the summer night sky, representing new life, new hope and a new future.
Because both families' children were born prematurely, even with advance planning, they were still caught off guard. The first problem they faced was confinement meals.
Because both pregnant women were in the third trimester and about to give birth, the family had prepared some extra grains and eggs.
But these are still a bit monotonous for the mother who needs to supplement some extra nutrition during the confinement period. Now the two fathers have to take care of the mother and the child, and they don’t have time to go hunting in the mountains.
I could only exchange some meat, such as hens and fish, with the help of Liu Jinfeng from the village, but they didn't know how to make postpartum meals.
It's not that they don't know how to do it, they have all tried to make it themselves, but the confinement meals are low in oil and salt and basically only eat original flavors. If you lack a little skill, sometimes the taste is really hard to describe.
On the first day of confinement, the two good brothers got together and decided to make a big effort to prepare confinement meals for their wives. The process seemed to be smooth, but the result was terrible. Both Yang Lili and Liu Hua found it difficult to swallow.
This directly led to insufficient milk on that day. Because the children were born prematurely, the milk powder prepared at home had not been delivered yet, and the two children were crying loudly due to hunger.
There was no other choice but to find Xu Manman and ask her to help make soup every day.
Xu Manman nodded in agreement. It was just a soup. The ingredients had been prepared in advance, so it wouldn't be a big deal.
Recently, two mothers are going to be in confinement after giving birth, and the two families have ordered a lot of good food ingredients, and Xu Manman will also order some as well.
That night's postpartum soup was crucian carp and loofah soup. Three fish were added to the pot, and a large, full pot was cooked. Onions, ginger, and a pinch of salt were added. Two soup bowls were prepared, one fish and some loofah in each, and one-third of the soup was filled. After the soup was ready, it was delivered to the houses on both sides.
The rest was for her to eat in the evening, and Xu Manman added a little more salt to it.
Xu Manman soaked the seaweed, added beaten eggs, adjusted the seasoning, poured oil into the pan and spread it into a seaweed egg pancake.
Then some vinegar-fried shredded potatoes and stir-fried water spinach.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed. In addition to going to work every day and the busy review life, the two fat boys from the Li and Zhan families are about to be one month old.
