She had to squeeze the food into a bowl before feeding it to the child; she felt a little embarrassed feeding other people's children.
The child was probably hungry and anxious, so she fed him with a spoon. He ate happily and very impatiently, almost choking. Yu Jiu patted the child's back and slowed down the feeding speed, feeding him little by little.
It took more than half an hour to feed him. But I have to say, her An'an was sleeping really soundly. There was a little kid next to her making a racket, but she didn't even flinch. She was sleeping very sweetly with her eyes closed.
"Alright, Uncle, you can take the child back. If the child gets hungry and Xiao Xi hasn't come back yet, you can bring the child back to us."
Yu Jiu was very hospitable. After all, they were neighbors, and the child was innocent. She couldn't bear to watch her child go hungry. Besides, she had plenty of breast milk; An'an was full and she still had a lot left over. Feeding him wouldn't be a problem.
"Okay, thank you so much, Yu Zhiqing. I don't know what I would have done today without you. Zhuzi's mother also went to the hospital. I'm a man and I have no experience taking care of children."
Zhu Zi's father complained for a bit, and Yu Jiu smiled and sent him away. He didn't seem to have mentioned worrying about Xiao Xi at all, and besides, he has several sons and daughters and has no experience in taking care of children, so isn't that a problem?
Xu Zijiang returned first in the afternoon, and he didn't look too good, Yu Jiu guessed.
"What's wrong? Is Xiao Xi still in danger?"
"He's out of danger, but the doctor said he needs to stay in the hospital for further observation. However, Zhu Zi and his mother want Xiao Xi to be discharged. They're really treating human life like a game."
Xu Zi shook his head; that was the reason for his low spirits. These people still hadn't learned their lesson. If Xiao Xi had given birth in a hospital, she probably wouldn't have suffered such severe bleeding. Now she's had a massive hemorrhage, had to be rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, and is about to be discharged again.
What if there's another massive hemorrhage after I get back? How can I save them then? If they can't be saved, is the money spent in the hospital for those few days really that much?
"What? This Zhuzi is going too far! His wife is in such a state, doesn't he feel any pity at all? If they're going to do this, then we'll notify Xiaoxi's family and have them come over. I don't believe they'll dare let Xiaoxi come back in front of her family."
This is a living, breathing life! Wasn't Xiaoxi their child?
Yu Jiu was furious. How could he be so ridiculous!
"Don't be angry. I've already notified Xiaoxi's family. Her mother and older brother have gone there and are in the hospital now. Zhuzi didn't dare bring her back, so I brought the tractor back first."
Xu Zi patted Yu Jiu on the back to help him catch his breath.
"Zhu Zi and the others usually seem pretty good, but I never expected them to be so unreliable at a crucial moment. You can never judge a book by its cover!"
Yu Jiu's voice was quite loud, and little An An's thick, long eyelashes trembled. She slowly opened her eyes, looking at her mother with a mixture of confusion and curiosity, as if wondering why her mother was so angry.
"Sweetie, did Mommy wake you up? Are you hungry?"
As soon as An'an woke up, Yu Jiu immediately forgot her anger. She went over to An'an, leaned close, and poked her round little face. She asked softly.
In the past two weeks, An'an has not only become more beautiful, but also gained weight. Now she is a fair-skinned, chubby little baby, just like the lucky baby in the New Year's painting. Yu Jiu loves her baby very much.
"Awoo."
Whether by coincidence or not, little An'an shook her head, her hands and feet twitching slightly. She let out a soft "ah-woo" and looked at Yu Jiu, seemingly speaking in some kind of baby talk.
"Aren't you hungry? How long have you been sleeping, An'an? Why aren't you hungry yet? Do you miss your dad?"
Xu Zijiang also came over, kissed his adorable baby, and asked with a smile.
"Waaah."
The little girl blinked her big eyes again and made a soft, whimpering sound as she communicated with her parents.
"If you're not hungry, then you should lie like this, okay? Don't cry, okay? Let your dad go eat first. You probably haven't eaten yet, so go and eat quickly."
Yu Jiu gave Xu Zijiang a push, and the last sentence was directed at him.
"Okay, let's go now."
Xu Zijiang kissed Yu Jiu as well, treating everyone equally, before going to the kitchen to eat. Just as he returned, Gouzi's mother went home first, leaving the couple alone.
It has to be said that Gouzi's mother is exceptionally perceptive, which is why Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang like to ask her for help.
Half a month later, the baby turned one month old. It wasn't appropriate to hold a full-month celebration or anything like that now, so Xu Zijiang and Yu Jiu cooked red eggs for the neighbors.
Others who were close to her also received gifts. She had given birth to a daughter, and although they might not necessarily want to share in the joy, they were happy and wanted to give her red eggs.
On the day the baby turned one month old, Gouzi happily brought over a piece of meat.
"Yu Zhiqing, when are you going to work? Do I need to cover for you?"
During the few months he filled in for Yu, the educated youth, he saved about a hundred yuan. That's a hundred yuan! If he had to work in the fields to earn work points, he wouldn't have saved that much money in two years. Besides, working at the department store counter was easy, so if he could, he would definitely want to keep doing it.
However, Yu Zhiqing has already finished her postpartum confinement and will probably be going back to work soon, so he won't take her place.
"I'll take another month off and go back to work when the baby is two months old. I'll see if I can bring the baby with me then. You can keep looking at the pastry counter, and I'll look at the skincare counter. I can take care of the baby at the same time, killing two birds with one stone."
I'm not sure if the manager will agree; I'll ask him first.
At two months old, you can take your baby out for a walk.
"Okay, I can help you look after An'an when I'm not busy."
The dog was overjoyed. What a great thing! He could earn money and play with the beautiful baby at the same time.
"How's things going with you and Zhang Yan? When are you planning to get married?"
In the past six months, Gouzi and Zhang Yan's relationship has progressed rapidly, and they are now dating. Yu Jiu thinks that their wedding should be approaching. Just as she was asking, Yu Caihong and Zhang Yan came over.
"We're here! Today is An'an's one-month birthday, we had to come and see our little one!"
This was the first time Yu Caihong and Zhang Yan had come to visit Yu Jiu since she gave birth. It's customary for women to have too many people come during their postpartum period; it's not that they disliked Yu Jiu. They just wanted to see her, but Yu Jiu wouldn't have allowed them to come, and it wouldn't have been good for them.
"And you, great mother, Yu Zhiqing, Comrade Yu, let me see your rosy complexion. You're not fat at all. You lost weight right after giving birth. It seems the baby will be easy to take care of. You gave birth to a good baby."
Yu Caihong laughed heartily. She circled Yu Jiu twice, looking her over from head to toe. It was true that Yu Jiu hadn't been dieting at all, but her figure had slimmed down after giving birth, without affecting her health.
You could tell just by looking at her complexion; it was very rosy and radiant, and she was in great spirits. She didn't look like someone who was tormented by her child and couldn't sleep at night. She didn't look haggard at all, which is why Yu Caihong made that judgment.
"Yes, that's right, our An'an is such a good baby. How about you give her a hug?"
