Chapter 213
"It's tasteless without salt, right?"
Wang Dani's words made Lu Huaijing frown, and he wondered, "Did Huaili forget to add salt?
How can I eat this without salt? It has no flavor."
"Silly child."
Wang Dani didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I have to drink some salt-free drinks right after giving birth, it's a little light.
After you are discharged from the hospital, I will cook delicious food for you in various ways."
"Thank you, mother."
Tang Wan smiled sweetly, wondering if it was because giving birth to a child took up too much energy.
Tang Wan drank up a big bowl of chicken soup without leaving a drop.
She realized it later and said awkwardly, "Why... did I eat so much?"
"Giving birth is very exhausting, and you still have to breastfeed, that's normal."
Unlike other mothers-in-law who dislike their daughters-in-law for having big appetites, Wang Dani comforted Tang Wan instead.
"I just made some porridge and eggs. I can have some with the third child. Don't worry, we won't be hungry.
If you are not full, eat something. You can’t make your man hungry anyway.”
"good."
Tang Wan was full and tired, so she fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up again, it was already dawn.
She looked over in confusion and saw Wang Dani holding the child and feeding him water, while Lu Huaijing was holding his sister and looking at him stupidly.
As the saying goes, sons resemble their mothers and daughters resemble their fathers.
The younger sister really looks like Lu Huaijing, but the older brother looks more like Tang Wan.
"Wife, are you awake?"
Sensing Tang Wan's gaze, Lu Huaijing immediately looked back. Tang Wan asked with some confusion.
"Has the child not been hungry for so long?"
She felt like she had slept for a long time, but it was already daybreak. The child needed milk every two or three hours.
"The third child said you've worked hard. Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, we didn't wake you up. We fed the baby some milk powder."
Wang Dani was not angry. Tang Wan had already prepared two sets of milk powder and bottles.
She is alone and it is inevitable that it is a bit difficult for her to feed two children. After all, they need some milk powder.
But Lu Huaijing's actions still made her feel that she had not married the wrong person.
Not to mention this era, even in later generations, there are still many men who clamor that breast milk is nutritious and force their wives to breastfeed instead of formula.
Some mothers have suffered from postpartum depression after feeding their babies to increase milk production.
"Thank you."
Her gentle thanks touched Lu Huaijing's heart. Tang Wan had become plumper after giving birth.
But she was not fat, and her skin was fair, as if she was covered with a glow of sunshine. Lu Huaijing loved her very much.
"We are husband and wife, no need to thank me."
The atmosphere in the family of five was just right. The child had fallen asleep, and Wang Dani was just about to tiptoe out to get something to eat.
At this time, Xia Qing came in cheerfully carrying a lunch box, "Huai Li is pregnant and it's inconvenient for her to come.
She asked me to bring you breakfast, please eat it quickly."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Tang Wan felt very embarrassed for making Xia Qing run around, but Xia Qing just waved his hands.
"Well, we're all from the same compound, and I just happen to be coming here to work, so it's just something I can do."
She put down the lunch box and left. Lu Huaili was very reluctant to leave, while Lu Huaijing and Wang Dani had steamed buns and fried pork with peppers.
But fish soup and chicken were prepared for Tang Wan alone.
She was particularly willing to spend money on her third sister-in-law, Tang Wan, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
"Lu Huaijing, this is too much money for Huaili. You have to make up the money when we are discharged from the hospital."
Fish and chicken are so expensive these days, and she doesn't want to take advantage of her sister.
This time Wang Dani did not interrupt, and her daughter-in-law's decision was right.
This way, their sisterly relationship will be better and they will care about each other.
Hearing this, Lu Huaijing nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
After breakfast, Tang Wan felt that she had almost recovered, and even walked around the ward a few times with Lu Huaijing's support.
No wonder many people say that recovery from a natural birth is faster than from a caesarean section. Tang Wan feels that except for the discomfort in her stomach, everything else seems to be gradually recovering.
It’s so uncomfortable not being able to take a shower.
She had just finished exercising and was sweating a little when she lay down when a woman who had just given birth was brought in.
Xia Qing's face darkened. "After a daughter was born, the whole family ran away. Who will take care of the adults and children?"
The woman lying on the bed was crying silently as she was pushed in.
At first glance, everyone guessed that she had given birth to a concubine, so she was rejected by her in-laws and thrown into the hospital.
Tang Wan and the others didn't say anything. After the woman in labor was pushed in, Lu Huaijing unconsciously pulled up the curtain to separate them.
They are all women, and it is inconvenient for a grown man like him, so it is better to avoid them.
Xia Qing just came to disinfect Tang Wan, and upon hearing this, he said helplessly: "This is the current situation in the hospital.
There are no individual wards, so you have to make do.”
She knew that Tang Wan was a particular person, which could be seen from her clothes. She also particularly liked to keep things clean.
"Can I be discharged this afternoon?"
In this day and age, it is common for women to return home after giving birth, and Tang Wan wanted to go home.
She can also sneak into the space to wash up.
"You gave birth to twins after all. My sister said it would be better for you to stay in the hospital for a day for observation."
Xia Qing was afraid that Tang Wan would insist, so she advised, "Everything will be more convenient in the hospital."
I am especially worried that something may happen to my child, so it is convenient to find a doctor.
"Then stay one more day."
Lu Huaijing persuaded Tang Wan, "We don't need the money for one day, and I'll feel more at ease if you stay for one day."
He thought Tang Wan was afraid of wasting money. Tang Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I just think it's inconvenient to be in the hospital."
Not to mention her, it is even more inconvenient to bathe the baby. Fortunately, the weather is warm now, neither cold nor hot.
The woman in labor in the next bed cried even harder when she heard what Lu Huaijing said.
Other people's men are so good, but her man ran away when he found out she gave birth to a woman.
I guess he didn’t even pay the hospital bill.
Wow wow wow…
The baby in the next bed was crying loudly. Tang Wan and the others looked at each other. Fortunately, Xia Qing happened to pass by.
"The baby is crying, do you want to feed him?"
She held the child in front of the woman who had just given birth and said, "Tell us the information about your family.
We should go and inform your family, but this is not a solution."
The woman in labor just cried without saying a word, while holding the baby and feeding her.
Lu Huaijing turned his back to the curtain. Tang Wan and Wang Dani looked at each other, both of them with helpless expressions.
After Xia Qing left and the ward returned to peace, Tang Wan whispered to Wang Dani:
"Mom, there's actually no basis for eating dishes without salt after giving birth. Just put less salt in them and make them lighter, otherwise they won't taste good."
Tang Wan said it because she really didn't want to feel uncomfortable during the confinement period.
I thought Wang Dani would be unhappy, but she still nodded and said, "Okay, as you say, put less."
"Thank you, mother."
Tang Wan felt so lucky to have a mother-in-law like Wang Dani.
She tilted her head to look at Lu Huaijing who was staring at the children stupidly, "Have you decided what to name the children?"
"We can name it whatever you want."
Lu Huaijing felt that his cultural literacy was not as good as Tang Wan's, so he gave this important task to Tang Wan.
