Dog's mother waited downstairs for almost an hour before coming up. When she came up, Xu Zijiang had calmed down, the baby was fed and asleep, and she was lying obediently in her little bed, cute and well-behaved.
"This child is quite easy to take care of. He only cries when he's hungry or wet, otherwise he doesn't seem to cause any trouble."
"I don't know yet, it's been too short. Let's wait and see in a few more days. I hope she behaves well. As long as she doesn't make a fuss in the middle of the night, I'll be satisfied."
Yu Jiu was prepared to fight with her child. As long as she didn't cause trouble in the middle of the night and drive her to the brink of nervous exhaustion, she would think her child was the cutest child in the world!
Yes, it will.
Yu Jiu was discharged from the hospital after seven or eight days. The original plan was to stay in the hospital for more than ten days, but because Yu Jiu's health had recovered well and she really couldn't stay in the hospital any longer, she felt that the place was too small and that Xu Zijiang had nowhere to sleep, which was inconvenient.
The dog's mother had to come back and forth every day to help them, which was too much trouble. They decided to just go home, where they could recuperate anywhere, not necessarily at the hospital. So the two of them took An'an home.
"An'an, look, this will be your home from now on. Are you satisfied? If not, that's okay. Dad will get you an even better house in a few years!"
Xu Zi carried An'an around their house, letting An'an tour their home and feel a sense of belonging. In the past few days, An'an has been able to open her eyes completely.
Her eyes are big and round, and her skin is white and tender. She looks very different from when she was born. Children really do get cuter as they grow up. In just a few days, the redness on her skin has faded and been replaced by a new, fair and tender skin.
Yu Jiu was so fond of the child that he would sometimes stay up late at night touching the child's face, hands, or thighs, which made Xu Zijiang jealous.
In the end, Yu Jiu was severely criticized by Xu Zijiang, which prevented her from getting up again in the middle of the night to secretly pinch her son's cute little face.
Ah~~
"It's alright, I guess," little An'an said, opening her eyes wide and looking around at her surroundings. Her big, dark eyes darted back and forth, and then she tugged at the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile. It seemed that she was accepting of the environment.
"good."
Seeing his daughter satisfied, Xu Zijiang was also content. He kissed the baby, then carried her back to the room and placed her on the bed for Yu Jiu to watch over.
"Honey, watch the baby. I'm going to wash the diapers. I'll cook dinner after I'm done. What would you like to eat today?"
Even if she comes back, Xu Zijiang doesn't plan to let Yu Jiu do any work. She'll stay in her room and rest for at least a month.
"I'd like something mild, since I'm feeding the baby and can't eat spicy food. Oh, by the way, could you shred the chicken after you've made the soup into strips, then pour soy sauce on it and add some other seasonings to make it more flavorful? I'm getting tired of eating boiled chicken like this every day, so I want to try something different."
Lately, I've been drinking chicken soup every day, or pig's trotter and peanut soup. It's nourishing and helps with milk production, so Yu Jiu has plenty of milk now. An'an can't finish it all; sometimes she's full, but her breasts are still painfully engorged. That's when Xu Zijiang comes in handy, fulfilling half of his wish.
"Okay, no problem. I'll make you some garlic enoki mushrooms too. They're flavorful, and I'm sure you'll like them."
"good."
Yu Jiu had no objections, so Xu Zijiang closed the door and left.
The diapers the child wore at the hospital yesterday hadn't been washed yet, and there were already eight or ten of them mixed in with today's. It was a good time to wash them and hang them out to dry. Xu Zi was very efficient and clean. He had a lot of strength, so after a few scrubs and some soap, they were all clean in no time. The diapers were drying all over the yard.
After washing all that, he washed his hands clean and then went straight to the kitchen to cook. The kitchen was filled with neatly arranged supplies: cured meat, eggs, red dates, peanuts, pig's trotters, ribs, and so on.
Xu Zi cooked lavish meals for Yu Jiu every day, afraid that she would go hungry. Moreover, Yu Jiu was breastfeeding and needed to eat several meals a day, so she got hungry easily. Furthermore, when she was pregnant, she didn't dare to eat much in order to control the baby's weight and prevent the baby from getting too big. Now that the baby is born, she can eat as much as she wants without worrying about gaining weight.
Her belly shrank immediately after giving birth, and her limbs were so slender that it was hard to tell she had given birth.
Xu Zi cooked very quickly, preparing several dishes at the same time, and soon a fragrant aroma wafted from the kitchen. Yu Jiu, who wasn't hungry before, suddenly had a great appetite upon smelling the aroma.
"These enoki mushrooms are delicious, I'll make them again tomorrow!"
Yu Jiu really loves this garlic enoki mushroom dish. It effectively masks the peculiar smell of enoki mushrooms, making it fragrant, soft, and not spicy—it has a savory flavor that Yu Jiu really enjoys.
"Okay, if you like it, I'll make it for you again tomorrow."
Xu Zijiang nodded with a smile. He brought the food into the room and ate it with Yu Jiu. An'an was already asleep in bed. Her limbs were outstretched; she was so small that even with her hands and feet outstretched, she only took up a tiny bit of space on the large bed.
To make it easier to feed An'an at night, they plan to let her sleep in the bed with them until she's a little older, then get her a crib to sleep in alone, so they won't accidentally roll over onto her. However, the bed is so big that even if they put her against the wall and put her inside, she's unlikely to be crushed.
"By the way, is Xiaoxi from next door about to give birth?"
Yu Jiu suddenly remembered to ask her neighbor's daughter-in-law, Xiao Xi. At that time, Xiao Xi and Yu Jiu had gotten pregnant around the same time. Yu Jiu had already given birth for almost half a month, and Xiao Xi should be giving birth soon too.
"Probably, but I didn't notice. Anyway, I didn't run into them at the hospital."
Xu Zijiang then remembered that Zhu Zi's wife was also about to give birth, but he had been busy cooking and delivering meals to her and taking care of her these past few days. He had been in a rush every day and hadn't run into many people in the village, so he naturally didn't know if his neighbor's daughter-in-law had also given birth.
“They probably give birth at home. I heard Aunt Guiyun talking to Aunt Liu Hua before, saying that she would come and help with the delivery.”
That's it.
Yu Jiu gave birth a few days early; if her family doesn't give birth early or late, it's expected to be in the next few days. The two were eating and chatting when they heard a loud shout from next door. It was Xiao Xi, Zhu Zi's wife.
The two held their breath and listened intently.
"Help! Zhu Zi, Mother, come quick! I'm about to give birth! Is anyone there?!"
Xiao Xi collapsed to the ground, waves of excruciating pain washing over her. She couldn't sit up straight and could only clutch her stomach, supporting herself with her hands on the ground as she desperately called for help. She was all alone at home; her in-laws and husband had gone to work in the fields. She was frantic. Xu Zijiang and Yu Jiu heard her clearly; she was calling for help. It turned out she hadn't given birth yet!
"I'm going to get help. You stay home and don't come out!"
