Seeing the young couple there affectionately, one feeding the other the food, the ones watching the child next to them smiled at each other and then focused on looking at the child.
After Wen Nuan finished eating, the people surrounding the child also arranged to keep watch at night.
The children were now sleeping soundly in their little beds. Wang Fugui looked at them, and the others came to the bedside.
"Xiao Nuan, we just discussed it. Tonight, my little sister, Jianshe and I will stay here with you overnight. Tomorrow during the day, your father and Yiman will stay with Jianshe. Do you think it's okay?"
"Mom, thank you for your hard work. Just take care of the arrangements," Wen Nuan said with a weak smile, her face still very pale.
"Okay, let's arrange it this way," and then Yang Chunhua went over and asked Wang Fugui and Lin Yiman to leave. The next day, Lin Yiman prepared breakfast and brought it over.
After Wang Fugui and Lin Yiman left, Wang Jianshe went to find the nurse and asked for two camp beds. Fortunately, the ward was relatively large, so two small beds could be placed there. When Yang Chunhua and Wang Xiaomei were sleepy, they would sleep on the small beds, while Wang Jianshe stayed by the bedside taking care of his young wife.
Around two o'clock in the morning, Wen Nuan got up again to feed the child, and then fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Wang Fugui and Lin Yiman arrived at daybreak. As soon as Wang Fugui arrived at the ward, he went to see Wen Nuan who was still sleeping, and then ran to look after the three children.
Yang Chunhua called Wang Xiaomei and Wang Jianshe to have breakfast first, and then went to see the children.
After about an hour, Wen Nuan woke up and ate some millet porridge and eggs. Then she heard the eldest child's loud cry. Soon after, the second child also started crying. The third child, Fei Fei, also hummed a few times this time.
This time Wen Nuan had the strength left, and Lin Yiman and Yang Chunhua helped. Wen Nuan held one in each hand and fed the two children at once. Feifei was still the last one to be fed. There was no other way. The eldest and the second child cried too much, especially the eldest, whose voice could make the house run away. However, after they were full and satisfied, they stopped crying!
After feeding the child, Wang Jianshe wiped Wen Nuan's face, hands and neck with hot water.
At eight o'clock, the doctor came to check on the patient, checked the patient's temperature, and looked at the baby. Everything was fine, so he said the patient could go home after staying for another day.
After the doctor finished his rounds, Wang Xiangyu and Wang Wenya also came with Pengpeng. Seeing so many people, Yang Chunhua took Wang Xiaomei home to rest with peace of mind. Wen Nuan asked Wang Jianshe to go home as well, but Wang Jianshe was unwilling, so Wen Nuan did not persuade him.
After staying in the hospital for another day, Wen Nuan was finally allowed to go home!
Wang Jianshe personally dressed Wen Nuan, wrapped a headscarf around her head several times, and put on a woolen hat knitted for her by Lin Yiman in winter. The scarf also covered her neck and face tightly. If Wen Nuan had not protested, Wang Jianshe would not have wanted to expose her eyes, for fear that Wen Nuan would be exposed to the wind.
There was a quilt and a military coat on the cart. Not only was he dressed warmly, but he was also covered with another quilt!
Wang Jianshe pushed the cart, while Wang Fugui and Wang Xiaomei watched on the side and took Pengpeng with them.
As for the children, Yang Chunhua, Wang Xiangyu and Wang Wenya each held one and wrapped them tightly.
The news that Wen Nuan had given birth to triplets, two boys and one girl, spread throughout the family quarters. On the way home, there was a constant stream of onlookers. Wen Nuan tucked her neck under the quilt again, feeling a little embarrassed, as if she were being played with by a monkey.
Fortunately, Wang Jianshe was afraid that his wife would catch a cold, so he took big steps and arrived home in no time. The kang had been heated in advance, so Wang Jianshe carried Wen Nuan directly to the kang, took off his coat except for his hat and scarf, and stuffed her directly into the quilt.
The children also lined up around Wen Nuan.
Because there are many children, Yang Chunhua decided to sleep with Wen Nuan at night, so that there would be someone to help when the children need to be fed in the middle of the night. Wen Nuan felt embarrassed about it, and Wang Jianshe was unwilling to leave his wife and children. Finally, it was decided that Yang Chunhua would not come to sleep with them for the time being. Wang Jianshe and Wen Nuan would try it first, and if it didn't work, they would take over Yang Chunhua.
After sleeping together for a few nights, Yang Chunhua found that it was quite good, so she gave up the idea of sleeping with her daughter-in-law.
The day after Wen Nuan was discharged from the hospital, Wang Jianshe went back to the army. However, he had to go home at noon, even if it was just to visit. Wen Nuan tried to persuade him once, but failed, so he just ignored it.
In the first half month, Wen Nuan's home was relatively quiet. Except for a few families halfway up the mountain who came to visit and see their children, no one from the family quarters at the foot of the mountain came up.
However, after half a month, there were more Wen Nuan family members, most of whom were from the family quarters at the foot of the mountain. Several families even brought new fine cotton cloth to replace the diapers used by the triplets, or brought eggs, noodles, etc. This made Wen Nuan very confused, and it was Sister Xiangyu who cleared up the confusion.
It turned out that the families who came to change diapers were all those who had not given birth to a child or had no boys in the family. After hearing that Wen Nuan had given birth to triplets, two boys and one girl, they all wanted to change the baby's diapers to get some good luck and attract the fetal gods, hoping to give birth to a big fat boy!
"Isn't this feudal superstition?" Wen Nuan was a little amused.
"Oh, there's nothing I can do. You have triplets, which are rare!" Sister Xiangyu said with a smile, "I want to go back to the diaper soon to see if I can give Hu Zi a brother or sister!"
"If you want it, I must give it to you!" Before Wen Nuan could say anything, Yang Chunhua smiled and said, "Here, here are the pieces, take whichever you like!"
"Auntie, I won't be polite then!" Wang Xiangyu went over quickly and picked a piece.
Later, Wang Wenya came over and asked for one piece.
Wen Nuan secretly asked Lin Yiman if she wanted it. Lin Yiman shyly said, "Auntie gave it to me a long time ago. It was the first diaper changed by my eldest child. It has been placed under my pillow!"
"Oh, oh..." Wen Nuan smiled foolishly for a long time after hearing Lin Yiman's shy words.
Maybe this diaper is really useful. When Wen Nuan's child was over 100 days old, several good news came from the family quarters at the foot of the mountain. For a while, diapers for Wen Nuan's children became in great demand, which made Wang Jianshe and Wen Nuan very amused and helpless. Fortunately, those who came to ask for diapers all brought fine cotton cloth, so the children did not lack diapers.
Because Wen Nuan gave birth to triplets and conditions permitted, Yang Chunhua asked Wen Nuan to observe a double confinement period, with the unanimous consent of the whole family. The family also did not plan to hold a full-month celebration for the children, but would hold a hundred-day banquet directly when the weather got warmer.
It’s a pity that Wang Fugui had to go back to Wawu Village when the children were one month old. He had to start working and had to go back. However, he would come again when the children’s hundred-day party was held!
