In order to make Yunqiao comfortable during her confinement and to make it easier to take care of the child, a kang was installed at home.
Zheng Wenjing felt the heat as she entered the house. The living room was quiet and the door to the inner room was closed. Feng Juan walked over and knocked gently. When she heard Yun Qiao answer from inside, she pushed the door open and said, "Yun Qiao, Wenjing is here."
Yun Qiao smiled and said, "Let her in quickly."
Feng Juan pushed the door open and waved to Zheng Wenjing: "Wenjing, come in."
Then he reminded: "Be quiet, the child is still asleep."
Zheng Wenjing nodded: "Okay."
Feng Juan smiled and said, "Wenjing, you guys chat while I go cook. Don't stay out for lunch, eat at home."
Zheng Wenjing happily agreed and closed the door when she entered the room to prevent the heat from escaping.
Yun Qiao moved closer to the kang, patted the spot where he had just lain down, and said, "Wen Jing, come, sit here."
"Okay." Zheng Wenjing smiled and walked to the bedside, but did not sit down immediately. Instead, she raised her legs and half-knelt on the edge of the kang, stretched her arms forward, half-lying on the kang, supporting her body to look at the baby sleeping on the side of the kang.
Three days after birth, the baby has grown much taller than when he was first born.
The wrinkled skin stretched out and became smooth, and the complexion also returned from pure red to a rosy red that was only slightly darker than the normal skin color, which made her small face look even whiter and more rosy, as delicate as a baby's, and as soft as the finest mutton-fat jade.
Zheng Wenjing was delighted to see this and couldn't help but reach out and gently touch the child's little face.
She touched it, and her eyes lit up instantly. She looked at Yun Qiao in surprise: "Wow, her skin is so tender and smooth!"
"Ahhhh, I like it so much." Zheng Wenjing touched her a few more times excitedly, looked at Yun Qiao with a sharp gaze, and asked her: "Yun Qiao, we agreed before that when the child is born, you will let me be the godmother. Does it still count?"
Yun Qiao nodded: "It counts."
"That's great! Oh, oh, oh~ Godmother, please kiss your daughter. Let godmother kiss you sweetly."
Zheng Wenjing was extremely excited, but she still had an inch of affection. She just sucked her lips through the air and didn't really kiss.
The child was too small, wrapped in a small ball, and she was afraid that he would be kissed to death.
Seeing her happy look, Yun Qiao joked with her: "If you like it so much, go and take it home. Raise it and send it back to me when it's grown up."
Zheng Wenjing immediately waved her hands upon hearing this: "No, no, no, no, no. I don't know how to raise a child, so you should do it yourself."
Yun Qiao laughed.
Zheng Wenjing lay beside the child, her eyes never leaving the child. She asked Yun Qiao, "Have you named your daughter yet?"
"I've chosen one," Yun Qiao said. "She's going to be born on National Day, so her nickname is Shiyi. I've thought of a few names, but I'm still hesitating. As parents, we always want to give her the best one."
"That's normal. Just take your time to think about it." Zheng Wenjing asked, "You've already thought of a few names. Tell me about them."
Yun Qiao said, "The first one is He Yan. It's based on the single character 'Yan'. 'Yan Yan' means 'a gentleman is willing to accept words and is quick to respond.' Her father and I chose this character because we hope she'll be eloquent and well-argued when she grows up. That way, if someone irritates her, she'll be able to fight back and not feel wronged."
"The second one is He Yi. Yi Yi means 'yi yi yi hui yi'. As the name suggests, she will shine in her favorite field when she grows up. The homophonic sound is also suitable, implying that her life will be smooth and peaceful, and everything she encounters will be satisfactory. The downside is that the character yi in yi yi hui is too difficult to write. I don't think she could write it well before she was three years old in elementary school."
"The third one is He Zhaoying. She goes out in the morning, so Zhaoying means sunrise. The characters Zhao and Ying taken separately also have good meanings."
"There are two more that my mother-in-law recommended for me: He Minghong and He Qile. They sound good too."
“So now I just can’t make up my mind.”
"...Uh, let alone you, even I can't make up my mind after hearing this." Zheng Wenjing said, "I think these are all good, too. Each one is worth considering."
"So we need to think about it again." Yun Qiao said helplessly, "We are suffering from decision-making difficulties right now. We choose this one and think that one is good, and then we choose that one and think this one is good. We wish we could choose them all."
Zheng Wenjing joked: "I really want to choose them all, so why don't you give me a few more names? Give me a few more children and use up all the names. Then I won't have to choose anymore."
Yun Qiao: "...not necessarily."
She only prepared two in her life.
After playing for a while, the two of them lay on either side of the baby's body.
Zheng Wenjing calmed down, tilted her head and looked at Yun Qiao's face seriously, and said seriously: "Tell me the truth, is it hard to be pregnant with a child?"
Yun Qiao was silent for a moment, then chose to speak the truth: "It was very hard and painful. During the late stages of pregnancy, my entire back and waist ached. My bloated belly pressed against my internal organs, and I couldn't lie down at night because I couldn't breathe."
"With the child behind me, it felt like someone was reaching into my stomach and pulling at my internal organs. The pain... I can't even describe it now. It was just incredibly painful, and it made me want to die."
"I knew it would be painful when such a big baby came out of my belly." Zheng Wenjing held Yun Qiao's hand, her eyes full of heartache.
"It's okay, it's all in the past. Now that I see the child, I feel that all the suffering I suffered before was worth it." Yun Qiao smiled, lowered his head and gently touched Eleven's little face.
Zheng Wenjing asked her: "If you feel so much pain after having your first child, will you still have a second child?"
Yun Qiao: "Yeah."
Zheng Wenjing clicked her tongue: "The child is in so much pain, and you're still hurt."
"I remember reading a book a while ago that said the human body has the ability to forget. The brain weakens past suffering. So what's the saying? Once the wound heals, the pain is forgotten."
Yun Qiao smiled and said, "It could also be because my mom and Tingjun took such good care of me. Aside from the third trimester and the birth of my last child, everything went smoothly for me. So I feel like it's worth going through this hardship again."
"You're so strong!" Zheng Wenjing said, "If it were me, having one child would be enough. I would never have a second one."
"Each person has his own idea," Yun Qiao said. "I hope my child can have a sibling to keep him company, someone close in age, regardless of gender. That way, they can play together when they're young, and have someone to talk to when they grow up. Maybe we won't be able to come to a conclusion, but at least having someone by their side will give them some comfort."
In her previous life, when she was waiting alone outside the operating room, she longed so much for a close brother or sister. She didn't need them to say any words of comfort, she just needed a shoulder to lean on when she was helpless.
But no.
At that time, Su Lin had already returned to the city. She didn't know that she was not the biological child of the Ye family. The Ye family's parents were partial to each other, ignored her pain, and forced her to divorce to make Su Lin happy.
No one from the Su family was allowed to interact with her. Su Hua could only come over secretly and had to leave quickly after just a few words.
Having a brother who truly treats him well in this life, Yun Qiao sincerely feels that these two children are the best.
She smiled and said, "The main reason is that our family is well off. We can definitely afford to raise two children, so we don't have to worry about one being wronged. If the family is not well off, and if we have a second child, we have to let the first child down, then it's better not to have one."
