"Don't go. Newborn babies poop black. It's something they've been carrying since birth. It only happens the first one or two times, and it'll be fine after they feed!"
Zhou Tingyue was relieved.
I watched carefully from the side as Shen Xiu'e changed the baby's diaper and swaddled the baby.
He learned very carefully. After all, it was his first time being a father. Although Xinxin and the others were also raised by him, they were older when they were with him.
He had never taken care of this little baby before.
Shen Xiu'e also wanted to teach him, and told him the precautions while she was doing it.
"You have to pay attention to this little baby's belly button. Be careful not to touch it and don't let it get wet with urine, otherwise it will easily become inflamed!"
It takes a week or even ten days for the umbilical cord to fall off. If it falls off or becomes inflamed during this period without your knowledge, it can be very serious!
Zhou Tingyue nodded and wrote down all of them.
After Shen Xiu'e fixed it for him, the eldest brother stopped crying.
He ate quietly with his little hands, making smacking sounds while eating!
Zhou Tingyue carefully held the child in his arms and looked at him carefully.
This child looks a bit like Song Shiwei, especially his eyebrows, nose and mouth.
He turned his head and looked at the second and third children. The second and third children were both girls.
Zhou Tingyue loves his daughters very much, especially the third one, who looks exactly like Song Shiwei.
The second child looks very much like him, and looks more like Zhou Wanyu when she was a child.
I don’t know what the fourth child looks like. He is so small and alone in the intensive care unit. It makes me sad just thinking about it.
The smile on his lips gradually faded.
Isn’t it the same for Shen Xiu’e?
She looked outside and stood up.
"Look after Weiwei and the child first. I'm going to go out for a while!"
Zhou Tingyue thought she was going to the bathroom, so he nodded and ignored her.
But when Shen Xiu'e walked out of the ward, she went straight to the neonatal intensive care unit.
The intensive care units of that era were not like the modern ones with large glass windows and doors that required swiping cards to enter.
This is a separate room with a double wooden door painted milky white.
Shen Xiu'e stood at the door and waited for a while. She could vaguely hear the faint cry of a child inside.
There is not just one child, there are several!
I think that during delivery, babies who were in poor condition were brought here by the nurses for individual care.
In the early morning, the hospital corridors were empty.
Only Shen Xiu'e was wandering around with a worried look on her face, and from time to time she would lie down at the door to listen to the crying of the baby inside.
She didn't know which cry was Sibao's, but she clearly heard the faintest one, which sounded like the cry of a kitten.
She felt distressed when she heard it.
The child must be very weak to make such a cry.
For some reason, she had a vague feeling that this must be the fourth treasure of their family!
Perhaps her behavior was so sneaky that a nurse was startled and thought she was a human trafficker who wanted to steal a child.
Fortunately, a young nurse who knew her helped her explain, and then she realized it was a misunderstanding.
Shen Xiu'e smiled bitterly and said, "I just wanted to see my little grandson. I wonder how he's doing. How can I feel at ease if he's so little, just a baby, staying here all alone?"
The young nurse hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, the child is fine and is doing well. He's severely hypoxic, so we need to give him oxygen. He's a little thin, so he'll be given nutritional injections for two more days, and then we'll send him back to you!"
When Shen Xiu'e heard this, she felt relieved.
She didn't dare to linger at the door any longer, fearing that other doctors and nurses would misunderstand her. She could only go back reluctantly, looking back every few steps.
But when she walked into the ward corridor, she actually discovered a sneaky figure.
She is also an old lady around fifty years old.
In this May day, she had a scarf wrapped around her head, covering it up tightly, leaving only her two slanted eyes visible.
He was standing on tiptoe, tilting his head, looking into the ward one by one.
Look at this, look at that!
Although Shen Xiu'e was a little confused, she didn't care.
She was not walking fast, so the man walked ahead of her.
As a result, she discovered that when the man walked to the door of Song Shiwei's ward, he was leaning on the door frame to look inside.
Shen Xiu'e couldn't hold it in any longer and shouted from behind her, "Who are you? What are you doing?"
The old woman was so frightened that her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground, but she reacted and ran away immediately.
Hearing the noise, Zhou Tingyue quickly opened the door and came out.
He only saw a fleeing figure and couldn't help but frown.
"Mom, what happened?"
Shen Xiu'e was also puzzled.
"I don't know either. There was a guy covering himself up tightly, sneaking around, and peeping into each ward door. Do you think it's a thief in the middle of the night?"
Zhou Tingyue also thought it was possible.
"After all, there are so many people in the hospital, so we must be more careful and take good care of Weiwei and the children!"
Shen Xiu'e also perked up her nerves and nodded, "That's right! I'm not afraid of people stealing things, but I'm afraid of those with bad intentions stealing children!"
I didn't expect that I would be mistaken for a human trafficker, and then I met a real human trafficker!
Shen Xiu'e quickly pulled Zhou Tingyue into the house and closed the door tightly.
"From now on, we'll take turns sleeping at night. There's no bolt on the door of this ward! What if we all fall asleep and someone steals the child?"
Zhou Tingyue also agreed.
"Then Mom, you sleep at night and I can just take a quick nap during the day!"
Anyway, when we go out on a mission, there are times when we don't sleep for days or nights.
But Shen Xiu'e felt sorry for him. She was the only one who felt sorry for her own child.
"Just go to sleep. Mom is old and doesn't sleep much. Even at night, she can't sleep for long!"
But it was almost five o'clock in the morning, and Zhou Tingyue had no intention of sleeping.
He simply stayed by Song Shiwei's bed and watched her.
I haven't seen her for such a long time, and she looks a little thinner than when I left.
The small face, which originally had little flesh, was now so thin that it was only the size of a palm.
Other pregnant women gain dozens of pounds when they are pregnant, but she didn’t gain weight, she even lost weight!
He held her little hand lovingly and rubbed it in his palm.
The guilt in his heart almost overwhelmed him.
This time, the organization only gave him five days of home visit leave. After five days, he would set off for Heilongjiang Province in the northeast.
Only outstanding officers from across the country have the opportunity to participate in this training. We will discuss and learn together and make progress together.
He also understood the meaning of the above. After the training, he estimated that his position would be promoted.
The commander had mentioned before that he wanted him to be the deputy commander of the military region!
The old deputy commander has retired and the position is currently vacant.
It can be said that the higher-ups have high hopes for him.
But at this moment, Zhou Tingyue looked at Song Shiwei, who was lying on the bed with a haggard face and almost lost his life, as well as three crying babies in the bed next to him, and there was another baby in the intensive care unit who was not in good condition. How could he leave with peace of mind?
