The two greenhorns were even more enthusiastic than the baby's biological father in changing their newborn niece's diapers. They were honored to receive their niece's first meconium, and their expressions were, needless to say, quite disapproving.
Although the technique was somewhat clumsy and stiff, the process was tortuous, but the result was good.
But once the baby was cleaned up, he was a sweet little dumpling again, and his two uncles were still watching him from either side. In fact, because of the meconium they had just shared, they seemed even closer than before.
However, the biological father didn't seem to look over even once throughout the whole thing, probably not even knowing whether it was a boy or a girl.
When Jian Dan opened her eyes, this was the scene she saw: two grown men surrounding a small swaddled baby, sometimes giggling, sometimes gesturing, as if it were some new and interesting toy.
The man by the bed—well, there wasn't one, but the creases by the bed proved he hadn't gone far.
"Ahem! Xiao An, Xiao Rui."
The two children immediately pounced on them.
"Sis, you're awake?"
"Um,"
She managed a smile, took a couple of sips of warm water, and only then did she feel alive again.
"Sis, are you hungry? Grandma Qin made some millet porridge. Brother-in-law went to find a place to heat it up. Wait a little while."
Cheng An was as considerate as ever; during this special time, Jian Dan felt a warm glow in her heart.
"Okay, no rush, you've been here all along?"
Cheng Rui squeezed through,
"Sister, do you know what you gave birth to?"
Simple.......
Cheng An...
"Brother, if you can't speak properly, then... just don't speak."
Simplicity brings laughter.
"It's alright, I understand what Xiao Rui means. I heard from Doctor Qin that it's a girl, right?"
"Mmm, sis, it's a little girl. Let me tell you, she's so tiny, about the size of my hand. Her fingers are only the size of a soybean. When you press them, they puff up. Haha, it's so funny!"
Cheng An sighed, unable to suppress a smile.
"Could you help me carry her over here?"
As she spoke, she moved a little to the side of the bed, making room for her daughter whom she had not yet met, and she felt a little more hopeful for her.
Cheng Rui dared not hold the child; he had to be careful and attentive to Cheng An.
"Sister, look, her little mouth is so pouty and her skin is so soft, it's so cute."
Newborn babies are often described as incredibly beautiful, though that's a bit of a filter effect. But Jian Dan still thought this was the most beautiful and adorable baby she had ever seen, even though she had only seen three babies in total: Lin Huizhou, Liu Jiaojiao, and now her own.
After all, she received plenty of comprehensive nutrition from her mother, and she ate fruit almost constantly. She was very selective about what she ate, so the baby was healthy and radiant. Unlike Liu Jiaojiao, who had cradle cap on her head, this little one was clean and bald.
She could be described as having fair and tender skin.
I gently touched her face with my finger, and the first thing I felt was how soft it was.
My second impression is that it's tender.
The feel of this is simply irresistible.
"Xiao Rui, you're right, it's really fun."
Cheng An rolled his eyes for the umpteenth time tonight. Seriously, they're all so childish.
The man, whom they hadn't seen for half a day, finally appeared, carrying two lunchboxes. His eyes lit up as he entered the ward, and his steps became lighter.
"Honey, you're awake? Are you still feeling unwell? Are you still in pain?"
Are you hungry? Mom made millet porridge with brown sugar and a boiled egg. Eat this first, and bear with it for a couple of days. Auntie said we can have chicken soup and fish soup in a couple of days.”
A barrage of questions greeted me the moment we met, but seeing that she was awake, I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. As I turned my head, a glimmer of light appeared in the corner of my eye.
"Here, let me feed you."
"Brother, there's someone else here. Can't you show some respect for your daughter? You didn't even look at her or ask her anything. What, are you sexist?"
Is it a girl?
Qin Qinghuai was stunned for a moment before looking down at the swaddled baby beside his wife and asking again.
"You weren't awake, so I didn't notice. Is it your daughter?"
Putting yourself first brings inner beauty, and the smiles on your face seem much more genuine.
"If your daughter knew that you didn't even look at her when she was born, she would definitely be angry."
Qin Qinghuai paused in stirring the porridge, looking at the little one with some doubt.
"Really? You can get angry?"
The man had a serious expression, and seemed a little silly. Jian Dan couldn't bear to tease him, so she reached out and clapped her large hand.
"Don't worry, as long as you welcome her and treat her well in the future, she won't be really angry. She's your little darling, you're her own father, how could you really be angry with her?"
Qin Qinghuai shook his head reflexively.
That's not possible.
After carefully feeding Jian Dan and watching her fall asleep, Qin Qinghuai finally felt at ease. He locked the door and then had the mood to talk to his two brothers-in-law.
"You two, why don't you go back and rest? Don't you have class tomorrow?"
"Brother-in-law, you're out of it. Tomorrow's the weekend, we're taking a break."
"Ah, that's true,"
Qin Qinghuai sat down on a chair next to the hospital bed, and his two brothers-in-law sat together, staring at their sleeping daughter.
"That's true, Xiao An. Today is all thanks to you. If it weren't for your composure, things would have been in complete chaos."
"Today, I really owe you all a debt of gratitude. I was so panicked; I couldn't think of any plans at all. I was just afraid something would happen to your sister. Now that I think about it, I don't even know how I got here, or how I waited for so long."
"Hehe, brother-in-law, you can rest assured wherever Xiao An is."
Cheng Rui is a carefree and open-minded person.
"Brother-in-law, let me tell you, Xiao Anke has calmed down; we're counting on him."
Before Qin Qinghuai could ask any further questions, Cheng Rui had already recounted the events of the night in detail, adding a lot of interjections, making it sound quite vivid.
Qin Qinghuai also regained his composure and rationality as a political commissar.
"My due date is in two weeks. I plan to call my second aunt in the next few days to ask her to come over. Without her here, I'm still not sure what to do."
Thankfully, thankfully nothing happened.
"Brother-in-law, don't worry. My sister is in good health. Besides, my mom told us that the due date is just an estimate, and it's normal for it to be within half a month before or after. My sister's delivery is normal now."
only,"
Cheng An couldn't help but laugh.
"But that educated youth is probably going to take the blame. Anyone who doesn't know the truth will definitely blame her, saying that she's the one who upset my sister and caused her to have a miscarriage, which is why she suddenly gave birth."
"Hmph, she brought it on herself. Who told her to cause trouble for no reason?"
"Wait a minute, brother-in-law, I've heard all about it. It's all over the neighborhood. They're saying she went to your house and provoked my sister, saying she'd taken a liking to someone in your family. There are only two people in your family, brother-in-law, she...she...she's got her eye on you, trying to steal my sister's boyfriend?"
