As Liu Guilan spoke, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion, her eyes welling up with tears, and she tightened her grip on her eldest granddaughter.
The little one wasn't feeling well, and whimpered a couple of times. His little mouth twitched, and he looked like he was about to cry, but Liu Guilan quickly shook him and gently coaxed him, "Oh, don't cry, don't cry, baby..."
The little one in my arms yawned, then closed his eyes and went back to sleep.
After she fell asleep, Liu Guilan put her down. Huo Xiao quickly picked her up, gently touched the small red mole between her eyebrows with his finger, and then happily said to Liu Guilan, "Daughters resemble their fathers. I think this little one looks like me when I was a child."
Look at him, how handsome he is!
Liu Guilan rolled her eyes at him: "So you're saying that sons resemble their mothers, does that mean you think Weiwei is ugly?"
Huo Xiao: ...
Is that a question I should answer?
Ye Weiwei slept for four or five hours before waking up, only to be woken up by the crying of her two boys.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Huo Xiao holding his daughter, glaring angrily at his two sons on the bed, and threatening in a low voice, "You brats, you better behave yourselves, or I'll spank you if you wake your mother up!"
"You brat, you're such a worry! Look at your little sister, how well-behaved she is! She's so young, yet she already knows how to care for others and never cries or makes a fuss. You should all learn from your little sister! Do you hear me?"
As a result, the two boys seemed to be going against Huo Xiao's wishes. The more Huo Xiao said that, the more they cried. They closed their eyes and howled at the top of their lungs, as if they were competing to see who could cry the loudest.
Ye Weiwei glanced around the room and saw only Huo Xiao and the three little ones. She asked, "Where's Mom?"
Seeing that Ye Weiwei was awake, Huo Xiao quickly said, "Mom went to make you some chicken soup, she should be back soon. How are you feeling now? Did those two rascals disturb you?"
Ye Weiwei shook her head, glanced at the two boys, and said, "They must be hungry and need formula. Put them on the bed and make them some formula."
Huo Xiao glanced at his daughter, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and said reluctantly, "Dr. Lan said that once you wake up, you should try breastfeeding them."
Previously, when Ye Weiwei was asleep, the children were hungry, and he had already fed them with formula in a bottle once.
However, Dr. Lan said that breastfeeding should be used as much as possible, and formula should only be given if breast milk is really not enough.
Ye Weiwei tried her breasts and felt them swollen and uncomfortable, so she picked up a child, lifted her clothes and breastfed him.
Because she gave birth well past her due date, her breast milk came in quickly. The little one sucked a few times and then wouldn't let go, eating with gusto like a little wolf cub.
After feeding one child, Ye Weiwei fed the other one as well. She looked at her daughter and found that the little one was still sleeping, completely undisturbed.
Huo Xiao was afraid his daughter would miss her mealtime, so he reached out and poked the little one, trying to wake her up. But the little one got annoyed by the commotion, opened her eyes, glanced at Huo Xiao, turned her head to the side, and closed her eyes again to continue sleeping.
Huo Xiao: ...
"Weiwei, is there something wrong with our daughter? Why does she sleep so much?"
The two rascals woke up and played for a while today.
As a result, the little girl slept the whole time after feeding, and didn't even open her eyes when we cleaned her up.
Ye Weiwei took the little one and used her supernatural ability to check him. She found that there was nothing wrong. "Newborn babies are all like this. It's normal for them to sleep more than 20 hours a day. They are growing while they are sleeping."
Huo Xiao was relieved and tried to take his daughter back to hold her, but Ye Weiwei refused.
"Don't hold her all the time, otherwise she'll get used to it and won't like lying down anymore, and you'll have to hold her every day."
Huo Xiao didn't take it seriously: "Then just carry it every day, it's not tiring anyway."
My youngest daughter is so tiny, it's effortless to hold her.
Ye Weiwei said irritably, "Then you should carry her to work too!"
Huo Xiao immediately fell silent, only lying by the bedside, gazing longingly at his youngest daughter.
Ye Weiwei was both annoyed and amused. "Stop just standing there. Didn't you say you'd name the baby? It's already born, have you even decided on a name yet?"
Huo Xiao casually remarked, "What's so great about naming these two brats? They cry so much, so let's call the older one 'Big Crybaby' and the younger one 'Little Crybaby'."
Ye Weiwei: ……
Is this even their biological child?
Seeing Ye Weiwei's unpleasant expression, Huo Xiao quickly tried to salvage the situation: "I was just kidding. Give me a few more days so I can think about it carefully. I guarantee I'll come up with a good name for them."
Ye Weiwei was completely speechless.
I never expected this guy to be so unreliable. He hadn't even decided on a name beforehand!
Actually, Ye Weiwei really wronged Huo Xiao.
He thought of many names, came up with a whole bunch, filled a whole page, but in the end he felt none of them were good enough, so he didn't choose any of them.
Liu Guilan brought over the chicken soup she had prepared, and seeing that Ye Weiwei had woken up, she quickly prepared food for her.
“Weiwei, if there’s anything you want to eat, you must tell me. There are so many better things to eat in this county than in our countryside. I’ve gotten to know the head chef at the canteen recently, and he has connections to get good stuff. You have to breastfeed three babies, so you need to make sure you get enough nutrition.”
Ye Weiwei agreed.
She wasn't worried about replenishing her body at all, as she had the resources in her spatial storage as a backup.
Because they had to take care of the three little ones that night, Huo Xiao and Liu Guilan stayed in the ward.
Huo Xiao rented two folding beds early in the morning. He placed one next to Ye Weiwei's bed and the other by the door, and he slept on the bed by the door.
Ye Weiwei slept too much during the day, so she had trouble sleeping at night. When she heard noises in the corridor outside, she didn't think anything of it at first. But when she heard footsteps stopping outside their ward, she became suspicious. She used her spiritual power to look outside and found a person in a nurse's uniform standing outside the door, acting suspiciously.
The man had backup. He gestured to someone at the corner of the corridor not far away, then took out an incense stick from his pocket, lit it, and placed it in the crack of the door.
Ye Weiwei saw the white smoke seeping in through the crack in the door. Just as she was about to get up and grab the person, she saw Huo Xiao move. He quietly stood up and pulled the curtains over the bed to prevent the white smoke from bothering Ye Weiwei, Liu Guilan, and the children.
When the people outside felt it was about time, they extinguished the sleeping incense, opened the door, and went in. As soon as they entered, they were hit hard on the head and immediately collapsed to the ground unconscious.
After Huo Xiao knocked the man unconscious, he was about to tie him up when he saw Ye Weiwei get off the bed. Before he could say anything, Ye Weiwei had already quickly taken off the nurse's uniform from the man and put it on.
"Wife, you..."
Ye Weiwei made a shushing gesture to Huo Xiao, then turned around and picked up the eldest child from the bed. "She must have someone waiting for her outside. I'll go and catch them all."
