Upon entering, a warm feeling filled the room, and Wang Chunxiu and Zhou Qinglan quickly carried the child to the north bedroom.
The north room has a kang (heated brick bed), which is a bit bigger than the bed in the south bedroom. Besides, the child poops and peees frequently, so it's more convenient to sleep on the kang.
The bed gets dirty easily, after all, it's the bed for the wedding.
The kang (heated brick bed) in the north room is connected to a boiler for heating, and there is also a set of radiators in the room, making it very warm.
"Quickly, unwrap the baby from the blankets, don't let the baby suffocate." Wang Chunxiu put the baby on the kang and quickly unwrapped the blankets.
Inside the blanket, the little baby, dressed in a red cotton-padded jacket and trousers, was fast asleep, his rosy, chubby face looking especially adorable.
"Oh my, these two kids are really handsome, just like Qinglan when she was little."
Zhou Mingyuan came closer and looked at his two granddaughters with great joy. The more he looked at them, the more he felt that they were just like his daughter when she was a child.
"I never expected that we would have twins in our family. Look at these two kids, they look exactly alike, isn't that amazing?"
"Huh? Which one is the older sister and which one is the younger sister? Can you tell them apart?" In Zhou Mingyuan's eyes, the two children looked the same; how could he possibly tell them apart?
"Oh, the older sister has a birthmark on her shoulder, and the younger sister has one on her wrist."
Wang Chunxiu got onto the kang (a heated brick bed), laid out a mattress and a diaper pad, then put the two babies on it and covered them with a small quilt.
Babies love to sleep in the car, and these two slept the whole way, but after their grandma started to move them around, they opened their eyes one after the other.
Its dark eyes darted around several times, taking in the unfamiliar surroundings.
Whether it was because they were unfamiliar with the place or upset about being woken up, one of them pouted and started to cry.
Twins are hard to soothe because if one cries, the other will cry too.
Sure enough, upon hearing the crying, she became unhappy and burst into tears.
Wang Chunxiu and Zhou Qinglan calmly went over to check the diaper.
As a result, the diaper was gradually becoming wet; the baby had woken up and was urinating.
Wang Chunxiu patiently waited for her granddaughter to finish urinating before pulling the diaper out.
"Qinglan, quickly take out all those diapers from your bag and put them on the kang to dry, otherwise they'll be too cold."
I was just about to change the baby's diapers when I realized that all the diapers were in my bag. It's been so cold on the way here, I can't just put them on the baby's diaper. I need to put them on the kang (heated brick bed) to warm them up.
The diapers, formula, and bottles for the two children filled a large bag, which Wang Chunxiu had Zhou Mingyuan carry when they got on the bus.
At this point, they quickly rummaged through the contents and put everything on the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) to dry.
The two babies were unhappy after they peed, pouting and whimpering, indicating they were hungry and wanted to be nursed.
Zhou Qinglan quickly picked one up and fed it, while Wang Chunxiu hurriedly went to make formula.
Zhou Qinglan's breast milk was enough for one baby, but not enough for two. It was fine in the first half of her postpartum period because the baby ate little, but as the baby grew older and the baby's needs increased, her breast milk became insufficient.
Therefore, after Wang Chunxiu arrived in the provincial capital, she suggested that Zhou Qinglan practice mixed feeding.
With two children, Zhou Qinglan will have to go back to work after the New Year, so she can't breastfeed all the time and formula feeding will be inevitable.
It's good to start mixed feeding early, so that the child doesn't only recognize breast milk and refuse bottles and formula.
And so, one baby drank breast milk and the other drank formula, and neither of them cried or fussed.
After the baby finished feeding, Sheng Xiping, Sheng Xi'an, and the others went upstairs and put their things in the small living room outside.
"Xiping, come on, let's heat up the dishes. Your mom and the others probably haven't had lunch yet."
Zhou Mingyuan called out to Sheng Xiping, and the two of them went to the kitchen, reheated the food they had prepared in advance, brought it up, and invited Wang Chunxiu and the others to eat.
After the two children had finished nursing and changed their diapers, they lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) and looked around.
Zhou Mingyuan doted on his granddaughter, so he sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), looking at the children with a loving smile, and occasionally making "ooh" sounds to amuse them.
"These two girls are really beautiful. It's a good thing that Qinglan made the right decision back then and kept the children."
"If we listened to you, where would we find two such beautiful girls?" Zhou Mingyuan glanced at Sheng Xiping and laughed.
What could Sheng Xiping say? At this point, all he could do was chuckle awkwardly.
Today is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the Little New Year. According to custom, Sheng Xiping should take his wife and younger brother back to the forest farm to visit his parents.
But they were exhausted from the journey back, and it was difficult to find a vehicle at this time of year, making it hard to get back to the forest farm.
They had no choice but to follow Zhou Mingyuan's arrangements. They would stay overnight in Songjianghe to rest, and Zhou Mingyuan would arrange a car to take them back the next morning.
The Little New Year is also an important festival, and it cannot be taken lightly, whether you are in the forest farm or Songjiang River.
So Zhou Mingyuan prepared the dumpling-making materials in advance. After Wang Chunxiu and the others had a bite to eat, Zhou Qinglan went back to the kang (a heated brick bed) to rest, while the others set up a table and cutting board in the small living room outside and started making dumplings.
In the evening, everyone set off firecrackers and ate dumplings together to celebrate the Little New Year.
After finishing their meal, everyone spent some more time playing with the baby before Zhou Mingyuan and his son got up and went back to their bungalow.
Wang Chunxiu stayed behind to accompany Zhou Qinglan and help her take care of the children.
When the twins are quiet, things are fine, but once they start making a fuss, both of them are in a chaotic mess, let alone one person, who simply can't keep an eye on them.
On this side of Qianchuan Forest Farm, Sheng Liancheng, who was guarding the generator depot on the mountain, also came down the mountain. The Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei sisters, as well as Sheng Xikang and Sheng Xitai, also came home for the holiday.
Although a few people were still missing from the family, Sheng Liancheng was still very happy to see his two daughters who had been away for almost half a year. The family happily celebrated the Lunar New Year.
