Chapter 561 New Parents
A red ribbon was tied to the tree in front of the Lu family's door to announce to the outside world that a new baby had been added to the family, and to pray for the child to be healthy and safe and to grow up healthily.
The originally deserted old house suddenly became lively because of the birth of the child.
Each family member has his or her own duties.
Mr. Lu was busy looking up words in the dictionary in his study to name his child.
Lu Jingyou and Su Jiaojiao gave their child the nickname Taotao, which is homophonic with Taotao, mainly because Su Jiaojiao likes the name Taotao.
Old Mrs. Lu specially invited Song Xiangyun to come and take charge of Su Jiaojiao's confinement meals. Lu Jia and Lin Manli came to take care of the child every day.
Lu Jingyou also lost interest in going to work and stayed at home to accompany his wife and children. Qi Heng said that President Lu had gone through a lot of hardship in giving birth and needed to recuperate at home, and he also agreed to give him a month's vacation.
When his son was just born, he just felt joy and excitement. After a few days of getting along, he became more and more dependent on Taotao. Whenever the child cried, he felt so distressed that he would hold the child in his arms all day long.
Su Jiaojiao was also asked to rest in bed, not to make phone calls or watch TV. Old Mrs. Lu and Song Xiangyun took turns coming in to explain that it was bad for the eyes. They also specifically emphasized that she should not get out of bed and walk around at will, especially not take a shower or wash her hair.
Su Jiaojiao was speechless. She had asked Director Yang, who told her to exercise appropriately. She didn't go out, so it was normal for her to bask in the sun on the balcony and take a walk.
Fortunately, they didn't come in often, so she just agreed.
In fact, Chen Guilan also disagreed with Su Jiaojiao taking a bath and washing her hair. She said she should wait for a month before washing it. Su Jiaojiao didn't listen. She only believed in Director Yang. As a mother, it was not easy to stop her, so she could only turn a blind eye.
Lu Jia and Lin Manli came to see the child every day, but they knew better than to go into the small living room and not into her bedroom.
Whenever they arrived, Chen Guilan would carry them to the small living room to show them.
A newborn baby changes every day. His eyebrows and eyes gradually open up, and his delicate and smooth little face and black eyes look at everyone curiously. The child's every frown and smile touches the hearts of the couple.
Lu Jiahe even bought a camera specifically, saying he wanted to record every moment of his grandson's growth.
Lin Manli always told him not to use flash and not to take pictures of the child's face. Lu Jiahe said he knew and that he would not hurt the child's eyes, so he didn't need her to tell him.
The two of them always quarreled in the small living room over this or that matter. Lin Manli was responsible for washing the child's diapers. She was not at ease even if someone else washed them. She required them to be dried in the sun for at least eight hours after washing, saying that this would kill bacteria.
Su Jiaojiao didn't argue with Lin Manli about washing diapers. She wasn't going to wash them anyway, so they could dry them in the sun as long as they wanted.
When his mother-in-law was at home, Lu Jingyou slept on the sofa in the small living room. When he heard the child crying at night, he would immediately get up and go into the room to check. After a few days, he had become quite skilled at holding the child.
Seeing that the Lu family, apart from making a fuss, took good care of Su Jiaojiao and the children, Chen Guilan no longer had any worries.
She stayed with Su Jiaojiao in the old house for a week and then went back to work in the industrial park outside Beijing, saying that she would come back to see them when the baby was one month old.
In fact, this child is very easy to take care of. He falls asleep after eating and rarely cries at night. She can't help much here.
Su Jiaojiao knew that Chen Guilan was not used to living in the old house, so she asked Lu Jingyou to send her mother back to the company.
As soon as Chen Guilan left, Lu Jingyou moved back to the big bed in the bedroom. Old Mrs. Lu was very worried about him: "Your mother said she would come over to accompany Jiaojiao and the child. We are all worried that you would crush the child."
Chen Guilan was here a few days ago, and they were all relieved.
Now that Chen Guilan is gone, both the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law are worried about Lu Jingyou. Lin Manli volunteered to come and accompany Su Jiaojiao so that they can take care of the child at night.
"Your worries are unnecessary. How could I possibly put pressure on the child?" Lu Jingyou was puzzled. "Don't worry about our affairs. I know how to take care of my child."
"Grandma, don't worry. We'll put the baby in the crib at night so he won't be crushed." When Su Jiaojiao heard that Lin Manli wanted to come over to take care of the child, she quickly refused, "If she comes, none of us will be able to sleep well."
Mrs. Lu thought about it and gave up the idea. She almost forgot that Lin Manli and Su Jiaojiao did not get along well.
The birth of the child temporarily eased the conflict between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, but it would not allow the two to completely reconcile. Lin Manli likes a daughter-in-law who is obedient to her, but Su Jiaojiao is destined not to be one.
Lu Jingyou moved back to the bedroom, happier than ever. Having a child between them was a wonderful experience. He kissed his wife and the child, and he felt like he owned the whole world.
He carefully counted the child's fingers and toes, and said to Su Jiaojiao happily, "No more, no less, exactly twenty."
"What if there's one more or one less? What's going to happen?" Su Jiaojiao didn't even bother to respond. She glared at him, "Your reaction time is too long. Why didn't you count when you were just born?"
If he counted the child's fingers and toes in front of the doctor, the hospital might become a hot topic.
Even the famous Mr. Lu has his moments of mental retardation.
"I was so excited at the time, how could I have thought of these details?" Lu Jingyou stroked his son's soft hair, becoming more and more curious. "Tell me, does he know that I am his father now?"
"Of course he knows." Su Jiaojiao fiercely provided him with a wave of emotional value. "Every time he opens his eyes, he sees his adult self. How could he not know that you are his father? Look, when he cries, he stops crying as soon as you hug him."
She herself lacks fatherly love, and deep down she hopes that her children can enjoy it.
Although Lu Jingyou loves this child very much, as a mother, she hopes that he can love her a little more.
Because a mother's love will never decrease, her love will only grow more and more, and she hopes that her father Lu Jingyou will also love her Taotao more and more.
"That's great." Lu Jingyou was immersed in the joy of being a father for the first time. Naturally, he didn't notice the mother's little tricks. He kissed the child's little face and said, "Taotao, I'm your daddy, the daddy who tells you stories. Come on, call me daddy."
Mr. Lu spent half a month looking up the dictionary and named the child Lu Chengyi. He said that the generation name of Taotao's generation is Cheng, and adding Yi at the end means firm will, calm and down-to-earth.
Su Jiaojiao and Lu Jingyou both liked this name and said it was very nice.
After the full moon, it will soon be the end of the year.
Because she had to accompany her children, Su Jiaojiao didn't go out. Ding Linyu, Cai Ting and Marco Bo came to the old house to discuss specific matters with her.
As the holiday approached, the factory became increasingly busy. In addition, there were several orders that needed to be discussed in detail, so Su Jiaojiao had to leave her child at home and officially return to work at the company.
