Han Yixian, not wanting his mother-in-law to be too tired, said, "Mom, I can take care of Yuhan here. If there's anything I don't understand, I'll ask the nurse. You should all go back and rest; it's already very late. Huayang and Haobo are exhausted; take them home quickly."
Yu Huiru said, "Let Zhenhua and the others take the child back first. I have to stay here and watch over the child. I'm afraid you won't be able to soothe the child if he cries."
Han Yixian immediately gave in upon hearing this. He really didn't know how to soothe the child, and he was worried that if the child kept crying, it would disturb his wife's rest. His wife was clearly exhausted and desperately needed to rest.
Han Yixian could only say, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
Everyone went about their own business, and soon the ward became quiet. He Yuhan was also fast asleep.
Han Yixian and his mother-in-law sat on either side of the hospital bed, watching the little guy sleeping soundly.
The little guy would occasionally move his mouth while sleeping; it was so adorable. Looking at his son's cute face, Han Yixian's heart melted.
At the same time, he also felt a deep sense of responsibility. He would have a wife and children in the future, and he had to work even harder.
The child started crying just before dawn, which made Han Yixian and Yu Huiru very nervous.
Yu Huiru quickly checked on the child and, seeing that the child had defecated, quickly changed the child's diaper. Then she gave the child some warm water to drink.
Han Yixian stayed by his mother-in-law's side the whole time, learning how to take care of the child so that he could help take care of the child when his wife was discharged from the hospital and went home for postpartum confinement, allowing his wife to get more rest.
When it was fully light, the child cried again, so Yu Huiru made the child a bottle of "milk" powder that He Yuhan had prepared beforehand.
The child was clearly hungry, sucking hard on the nipple with his eyes closed, gulping down the milk from the bottle. He didn't have time to cry at that moment.
However, He Yuhan was also woken up by the child's crying, but she felt much better after taking a nap.
Han Yixian noticed his wife was awake immediately and rushed to He Yuhan's side to ask, "Yuhan, you're awake. How are you feeling?"
He Yuhan replied, "I feel much better after a nap. I need to go to the bathroom."
Han Yixian quickly helped his wife to use the restroom.
After relieving himself, Han Yi first washed his wife's hands and wiped her face with hot water, and He Yuhan felt much more comfortable.
She looked at the child lying on the hospital bed next to her and said, "I haven't had a good look at the child yet. I want to hold him."
Yu Huiru finished feeding the baby and then picked her up and handed her to her daughter.
He Yuhan carefully took her son and examined him closely. Her son inherited more of Han Yixian's traits. Although he hadn't fully grown up yet, his appearance was sure to be good.
Seeing her daughter looking at the baby so closely, Yu Huiru assumed she thought the baby was ugly and laughed, "All babies look pretty much the same when they are first born, and they are not very good-looking. They will grow up in a few days and then they will be pretty."
He Yuhan laughed and said, "Even though he hasn't fully grown up, you can tell he'll grow up with Yi Ge and won't be bad-looking in the future. This little guy is so strong, it seems I didn't waste my time adding nutrition to him."
Yu Huiru smiled and said, "Yes, it's all thanks to your good nutrition that the baby grew so well in your belly. Look how black his hair is. Most babies are born with yellowish hair. My grandson was born with a full head of black hair."
Just then, Wen Jinyu arrived with breakfast, and Han Xiao also came to the hospital; he needed to see his eldest grandson. He had missed him after not seeing him for a night, a feeling he had never experienced before. It really was the special bond between grandparents and grandchildren, as people say.
Wen Jinyu placed breakfast on the small table, came to the bedside, looked at her eldest grandson, and asked, "Yuhan, how are you feeling? Are you alright?"
He Yuhan replied, "I feel much better now, I just need to rest a bit more."
Wen Jinyu said, "Mom made you fish soup and porridge. Fish soup helps with milk production quickly, so drink more of it. Mom also boiled some eggs for you, so eat more of those too."
"Hold the baby for me, you go and eat."
He then took the child from He Yuhan's arms.
Wen Jinyu also brought breakfast for Yu Huiru and Han Yixian, saying, "Mother-in-law, I also brought breakfast for you and Yixian. Eat it while it's hot, or it will get cold."
Han Yixian quickly prepared breakfast for his mother-in-law.
While the group was having breakfast, Han Xiao was also looking on with delight at his wife holding their eldest grandson.
At this time, He Chenglin also came to the hospital to see his grandson and daughter.
He and Han Xiao huddled together, watching the little guy sleeping soundly with his little mouth smacking, and they both grinned from ear to ear.
Han Xiao looked at his grandson for a while and then said, "Old He, I've named the child Han Xurui, what do you think?"
He Chenglin nodded and said, "Hmm, not bad, a good name."
Wen Jinyu laughed and said, "My husband, Lao Han, has racked his brains a lot to come up with a name for his grandson. He came up with several names but couldn't decide which one to use until today.
Han Xiao and He Chenglin both had to go to work. After watching the child for a while and telling He Yuhan to take good care of herself, they both left the hospital to go to work.
He Yuhan drank a lot of fish soup and porridge, and ate a few eggs; she was indeed hungry.
He Yuhan's milk came in that afternoon, and the baby was able to nurse.
Everything went smoothly, and the whole family was very happy.
Breast milk is good for both the baby and the mother. Breast milk is nutritious, which is beneficial to the baby's health. Parents also don't need to constantly prepare formula for the baby, which is convenient and saves money on formula.
He Yuhan stayed in the hospital for three days for observation and was discharged home after everything was fine.
Because He Yuhan needed to recover after childbirth and the weather was so cold, it was better for her to sleep on the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove). Before He Yuhan was discharged from the hospital, Han Yixian and Wen Jinyu tidied up the east room of the house. After He Yuhan was discharged, the three of them moved directly into the east room.
The heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) in the east room is also large, so even with three children, it's spacious enough that there's no need to worry about accidentally rolling over onto the child while sleeping at night.
He Yuhan was placed on the kang (a heated brick bed), with the child right next to her, while Han Yixian slept on the other side of the child.
While resting at night, Han Yi looked at his son, who had taken over the spot that should have been his, and laughed, "This kid has taken over my spot since he was born. I'll move him out as soon as he gets a little older."
He Yuhan laughed and said, "Look at you, getting jealous of your son, really."
Han Yixian defended his position, saying, "No one can take my place. It's just that he's too young now. Once he's no longer breastfeeding, he'll have to give his position back to me."
He can only endure it for now since his position has been taken, but he will have to give up his position to his son when he gets older.
However, Han Yixian felt heartbroken when he thought about how his position would be taken over if he had more children in the future.
He Yuhan ignored the unscrupulous father who was trying to take over the child's space and changed her son's wet diaper to make him more comfortable while sleeping.
