“It’s a very good name. I think we should let Grandpa and the others choose it, otherwise I’m afraid they’ll argue about it.”
“Giving one a formal name and the other a nickname will definitely not cause any conflict. We must respect the elderly.” Suti believes that respecting the elderly and caring for the young is very important.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you, my wife." Li Baichuan thought about it and agreed. He had been hearing his grandfather talk about the name for several days already.
I've come up with quite a few names, but none of them feel right. I'm afraid my grandfather might feel the same way.
"I want to sleep for a while." Su Ti was exhausted, afraid that if she wasn't careful, Jianguo and Aiguo would follow her sons for the rest of their lives.
"Okay, honey, you get some rest. I'll stay here with you." Upon hearing this, Li Baichuan immediately covered his wife with the blanket.
There's nothing else he can do at home; all he needs to do is take care of his wife.
Suti had intended to avoid the topic of naming, but she ended up falling asleep while talking about it.
I slept for a short while and my body was soaked in sweat. I felt incredibly weak, and sometimes my hands were numb.
She tried to open her eyes to ask to change her clothes, but she had no strength at all. Right now, let alone cold water, even a gust of wind felt like it was seeping into her bones.
She couldn't understand how those women who were full of energy right after giving birth could be so healthy. Was it really because she was too delicate?
After seeing that his wife was asleep, Li Baichuan turned around and went to the small bed next to him, looking at his two sons who had surrendered with their hands clasped in surrender.
Although there is a slight regret that he doesn't have a daughter, it's good that both of his children resemble his wife.
"You brat, grow up well and protect your mother with your dad when you grow up." Li Baichuan had no plans to have any more children.
He didn't want to recall the scene of not being able to touch his wife, leaving her to suffer alone without his knowledge.
He didn't want to see his wife covered in sweat and pale after giving birth, not to mention the various risks involved.
He can say they're lucky now, but what about next time? If something happens to his wife or children, he won't be able to handle it.
"Baichuan, is Nannan asleep? You go down to eat first, I'll watch over her here." Grandma Guo gently opened the door.
Seeing the sleeping people inside, they spoke even softer.
"Grandma, have you eaten? My wife just fell asleep a little while ago. Should we wake her up for dinner later?"
“I saw that she was sweating again, so I took out her change of clothes. She was sleeping so soundly that I didn’t have the heart to wake her.”
Li Baichuan wasn't hungry yet. He felt that his wife had really hurt herself this time. It wasn't convenient for her in the hospital, so now that they were home, she needed to be properly nourished.
He thought of the ginseng he found on the black market, as well as those wild game, and quietly asked his grandmother for advice.
"I just finished eating. My baby just gave birth, so I can't eat too much rich food right now. My body can't handle it. I'll stick to a light diet for now."
"Just make sure your nutrition is balanced. It's normal to sweat a lot. The doctor said so too, so don't worry."
"As long as there's no wind, it's fine. It's not that hot today, so there's no need to take a shower, and the conditions aren't good enough anyway."
"As long as you change your clothes frequently and wipe your body to keep it clean, it will be fine. But giving birth is indeed painful, let alone having two. I plan to let my daughter rest for a few more days during her postpartum period."
"I'm just worried she won't have the patience. You'll have to help Grandma persuade her." Grandma Guo was very pleased with Baichuan.
When someone truly loves another, their eyes can't hide it. During those two days in the hospital, his eyes never left her; he noticed even the slightest movement of Nannan.
He was also the first to notice that Nannan's sweating was abnormal, and he was so frightened that he wanted to go to the doctor.
Even a little bleeding from below terrifies him; he carries her to the toilet, and he consults the doctor countless times a day.
He didn't understand anything, but he was very observant about anything related to Nannan.
When he learned that all of this was normal, he didn't take it for granted; his face was full of heartache.
"Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely persuade my wife. You can do whatever you say. If you need anything, just tell me."
"There's a lot I don't understand, but I learn very quickly. As long as you teach me, I'm sure I can learn well, and I can also help out later."
Li Baichuan felt that having his grandmother around was better than him going to the hospital to ask the doctors.
He felt that what they said was not as detailed as what his grandmother said. His grandmother was meticulous and would definitely be able to take good care of his wife.
“If you’re willing to learn, your grandmother will teach you everything. There’s just one thing: you can’t let your daughter do whatever she wants, not even when she’s being affectionate.”
Grandma Guo knew her granddaughter well, and she was afraid that she wouldn't make it through. After all, being unable to go out during a month of confinement was indeed very frustrating.
"Okay, I'll definitely hold back." Li Baichuan felt that this was indeed a serious problem, as he had never had a say in front of his wife.
However, his mother-in-law is coming tomorrow, and he's thinking that if his wife doesn't listen to him, he'll call his mother-in-law over. He can always let her vent her anger after the postpartum period.
Suti had no idea that her miserable postpartum period was about to begin.
She was very happy a few days ago because her maternal grandparents, parents and other relatives came to visit. Her brother couldn't come, but he called her whenever he had a spare moment.
But gradually, everyone in her family went back to work. Later, her father and grandfather also went back home. In the end, when only her mother and grandmother were left at home with her, she suddenly felt bored.
You can't do this, you can't eat that, and you're even prevented from getting out of bed and taking a few steps.
Baichuan went to work too. She thought she would be free when he came back in the evening, but she didn't expect him to be even more protective of her than her mother and grandmother.
He even learned to tattle, then looked at her with an innocent expression.
She thought that a month of confinement would be over quickly, but she didn't expect it to feel like an eternity. Everyone in her family insisted that she have a double confinement period.
During this boring postpartum period, Suti's worst fears came true.
The torrential rains that swept through Ming City caused the entire city to collapse and reservoirs to breach their dams, prompting a flood of reports from all sides and gripping the hearts of people across the country.
Relief efforts are in full swing across the country, and the news is making headlines, which makes Suti very worried.
But Grandpa and Dad haven't been home for two days, so she doesn't know what's going on outside. Grandma and Baichuan only know some basic information.
On the evening of the third day, Grandpa and Dad returned home and came looking for them immediately.
"Su girl, tell your grandfather, did you know something was going to happen over there?" The old marshal looked exhausted, having been in meetings for several days straight.
“Grandpa, I had a dream back then, and later when I was organizing some materials, I saw the request for help from that side, and I kept it in mind.”
"I didn't expect something like this to actually happen. Did I do something wrong?" Suti knew that his grandfather and the others would ask him sooner or later.
She had already made preparations, and she couldn't tell the truth about this, since it was too unbelievable; this was all she could say.
