Li Chu returned to his bedroom helplessly.
Little Black was frantically pacing around on the ground. The child was placed quite far inside the bed, so even if it stood up, it couldn't see him.
Seeing Li Chu come in, it rubbed its head against his leg and kept humming, as if it wanted to see its little master.
Li Chu ignored it and sat down on the edge of the bed, gently picking up a child.
The baby was wrapped up very tightly in a thin cotton blanket, and he couldn't tell which one was the older sister and which one was the younger brother just by looking at their faces.
She carefully held the child in her arms, looking down at the little one sleeping soundly, his eyes radiating a gentle light.
This is his child, the continuation of his bloodline.
He hadn't felt it when he was looking after the child before, but now that he was holding this little one in his arms, he felt his heart melt.
He squatted down under the bed with the child in his arms, and Xiao Hei immediately came over and kept sniffing him.
"Xiao Hei, you can't lick it with your tongue." Xiao Hei was about to lick it with its tongue when Li Chu blocked it with his arm.
"This is your little master. You must protect him well from now on, okay?"
As if it could understand, Xiao Hei sat down on its front legs to the side, looking at the baby in Li Chu's arms, its big tail sweeping back and forth on the ground.
Li Chu put the child on the bed, then picked up the other one, let Xiao Hei smell it, and gave it the same instructions.
After looking at its two little owners, Xiao Hei was clearly not as anxious as before. It sat quietly under the bed, occasionally turning its head to look at the two babies on the bed.
Ding Qiunan quickly finished wiping herself off and returned to bed, letting out a long, comfortable sigh.
"Phew, that feels so good now. I was in so much pain just now."
"Honey, I haven't had a chance to ask you until now. How did you get through it so quickly at the hospital? I remember when Qin Huairu was having her third child, it took her several hours."
Li Chu finally voiced his curiosity. He genuinely hadn't expected Ding Qiunan to give birth so easily.
Ding Qiunan thought for a moment before saying, "When Director Li first came in, I felt an unbearable pain, like the kind of pain that makes you want to have diarrhea."
As she spoke, Ding Qiunan stuck out her tongue a little shyly, and then continued.
"As Director Li instructed, I pushed downwards. I felt something fall out from below as soon as I pushed, and then I heard the nurse next to me say it."
"Before I could even catch my breath, my stomach started hurting terribly again. This time, without waiting for her to say anything, I pushed again, and then the second baby came out."
"The moment I was born, it felt like my lower body was being torn apart."
After listening to Ding Qiunan's words, Li Chu lay down on the bed and kissed her forehead: "Thank you for your hard work, my wife."
“It’s not hard at all. Every woman has to go through this day.” Ding Qiunan shook her head.
"Why is my belly still so big?" She touched her belly under the covers.
"Your belly will recover in a couple of days. I've already prepared some anti-wrinkle cream for you. You can apply it to your belly in a few more days, and I guarantee you won't have any stretch marks by then."
"Really?" Sure enough, the ointment immediately tickled Ding Qiunan's itchy spot, and her eyes lit up.
Li Chu chuckled and playfully pinched her nose: "Really, I'll give it to you in a few days."
Before Ding Qiunan could even feel happy, a series of "waaaaaa" sounds rang out.
Forget about being happy or not, Ding Qiunan quickly sat up and picked up the crying child.
First, reach inside the blanket and feel the diaper. If it's dry, then the baby is probably hungry.
Li Chu hurriedly placed the stack of blankets behind Ding Qiunan so that she could lean against them and be more comfortable while breastfeeding.
Ding Qiunan lifted her sweater and stuffed the grain bin into the child's mouth. The child, who was crying just a second ago, stopped crying the next second.
She began to suckle vigorously, her little hands, which were sticking out of the quilt, clenched into tight fists.
Just as the baby calmed down and started drinking milk, another child began to cry. Li Chu helped by holding the baby and placing him in Ding Qiunan's arms.
Watching the two children's little mouths moving as they suckled, Li Chu unconsciously swallowed the saliva in her mouth.
Thinking angrily to himself, "That's mine! You two little brats have taken over my granary!" he turned and walked out of the bedroom.
Li Chu went straight to the kitchen to cook something. He knew they wouldn't get a good night's rest, and it was already past midnight. They both needed to replenish their energy.
I used the leftover chicken broth to make some noodles, and also put two poached eggs in the girl's bowl.
When he brought the bowl in, the child had already drunk his fill and fallen asleep.
After setting up the kang table, Ding Qiunan slurped down a large bowl of noodles in just a few bites.
After finishing her meal, she felt too tired and went straight to sleep.
No matter how good your physical condition is, you've just given birth to two children, so it's still a bit draining.
While she was asleep, Li Chu took her pulse. There was nothing wrong with her, except that she was a little weak in both qi and blood, which is the same for every woman who has just given birth.
He pulled two ginseng roots from the wild ginseng in his space. He would put them in the chicken soup that Aunt Wang brought over tomorrow morning and simmer them on the stove for a while.
Li Chu used a newspaper to partially block the light from the bulb, then he lay down on the other side of the child.
I suddenly realized that Xiao Hei was still sitting obediently under the bed. It was a little funny and touching at the same time. This guy understood what I said.
He got off the bed again and gestured for Xiao Hei to come out with him.
Upon entering the living room, Li Chu took out a can of meat from his spatial storage, pried it open with a screwdriver, and fed it all to the animal.
After watching it finish eating, he said, "Little Black, go back to your den and sleep. You don't need to go inside tonight."
Little Black really understands; it obediently runs into its nest and lies down.
Li Chu washed his hands and lay back down on the bed.
The two little ones were quite well-behaved; this time, after eating their fill, they slept until after 3 a.m. before waking up crying.
Ding Qiunan had just fed them both when they took turns passing their first meconium.
Li Chu looked at the dark green meconium on the diaper and threw it away along with the diaper.
If there is meconium on the diaper, it cannot be washed off, so it's easier to just throw it away.
She then ran to the bathroom, prepared warm water, and washed the two babies' bottoms.
The two children cried together, which exhausted Li Chu and Ding Qiunan. By the time the children fell asleep and he had finished tidying up, it was already dawn outside.
At this moment, Ding's mother and Li Qin got up. They looked at the mother and her two children sleeping on the bed and walked into the living room with peace of mind.
"Well, Xiao Chu, I thought you were going to ask your sister and me for help in the middle of the night."
"Mom, the two kids are quite well-behaved. Just now they were eating and pooping, but I had time to sleep before that."
"You and my sister sit down first, I'll go out and buy some fried dough sticks and soy milk."
When Ding's mother heard that Li Chu wanted to go out to buy breakfast, she stopped him, saying, "Why buy anything? I can just cook something for us. Why spend that money?"
