Chapter 82 Mother Gu Departs
Not long after the two fell asleep, the child woke up.
After two days of taking care of the children, Gu Ye had become very skilled. He could help the children wash their butts and change their diapers before continuing to sleep.
Chen Cuijuan said that neither of the two children is like Shen Zhiyou. They are very well-behaved and usually don't cry unless they are very uncomfortable or hungry. They also sleep well at night.
Shen Zhiyou can also have a good rest at night.
But this is when they are still being fed warm water.
Now that the children have had milk, they don’t want to drink warm water.
Tuantuan cried twice, and Shen Zhiyou immediately got up, "Let me feed them."
Gu Ye pursed his lips, looking at his wife who was still sleepy and trying hard to feed the baby, his brows furrowed more and more.
Especially at night, Shen Zhiyou fed them three times.
The next day when he got up to go for training, his wife was still sleeping soundly.
It's obvious that he didn't get enough rest last night.
It is important to eat nutritious food during the confinement period, so Chen Cuijuan stewed fish porridge early in the morning.
Gu Ye ate the same as usual, porridge with pancakes and some stir-fried vegetables.
When Chen Cuijuan saw him come out, she washed her hands and asked, "Is Youyou awake?"
"Not awake. She got up three times last night to feed the baby. She didn't get enough rest and is still sleeping."
Moreover, there was not enough milk, so the baby had to eat harder. Shen Zhiyou cried because of the pain.
When Chen Cuijuan heard this, she immediately felt heartbroken.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. As mothers, we all go through this period.
Newborn babies eat little each time and digest quickly, so they need to be fed every two or three hours. When the baby is older, feeding him once before going to bed at night will last him the whole night.
"I'll go see if I can get some goat milk tonight to make the children drink, and also get some rice porridge to warm up. If the children are hungry at night, don't call Youyou. I'll get up and feed them the rice porridge."
Nowadays, everyone is not well fed, so it is normal that there is not enough milk.
Those who have good conditions can bring back milk powder for their children.
Generally, you can also get some rice porridge and goat's milk. Shen Zhiyou grew up drinking goat's milk, so Chen Cuijuan is very familiar with it.
If conditions are worse, we can feed children sweet potato flour and other things.
Children from poor families are not that precious, and those who are fed with this mixture will be stronger.
Shen Zhiyou's physical condition was good, so it was just right for her to feed one child, but it would not be enough to feed two children at a time.
Gu Ye thought this was a good idea.
In this way, Shen Zhiyou doesn’t have to get up every night to feed the child, and the child can eat enough.
"We have goat milk. I'll go ask about it later. I'll also ask about milk powder."
These days, milk powder is a special product and most people can’t buy it even if they want to.
When Chen Cuijuan heard that she could also buy milk powder, she clapped her hands and said, "That's great! I heard people say that this milk powder is the best for children!"
Since his mother-in-law said so, Gu Ye nodded slightly.
Before going out, I went back to the house to take a look.
Shen Zhiyou was still sleeping. He went over and touched his wife's face before leaving.
For most people, it is already amazing to become a battalion commander at the age of 30.
Therefore, most of the people in the army have wives and children, and they are quite knowledgeable about this aspect.
As soon as I heard Gu Ye say that he wanted to buy milk powder, I immediately gave him some advice.
"Red Star milk powder is our military supply, but it's quite expensive. I heard that a small package costs several dollars. If you really can't get it, you can use some rice porridge or something. I didn't have any milk to feed my second child, so I used rice soup or rice porridge or something like that."
Deputy Captain Ma saw that Gu Ye still wanted to buy milk powder for the child.
The way he is looked at is like looking at a prodigal son.
When he got home, he said to Fu Chunmei, "Do you think Gu Ye has a lot of money but nowhere to spend it? He said he didn't want his wife to get up at night to feed the child and didn't want the child to be hungry, so he went to buy milk powder. Isn't this just throwing money into the fire?"
Fu Chunmei's mother-in-law didn't get any money that day and even had a fight with Fu Chunmei.
Later, Deputy Captain Ma came back and used two pieces of meat to get the old lady back, but Fu Chunmei always held a grudge about this incident.
Now when she heard her husband say this, she curled her lips and said, "It's like spending the money on your wife and children. It's like having no place to spend it. It's like using it to support brothers and nephews who have their own parents to use the money properly, right?"
The playful smile on Deputy Captain Ma’s face froze.
His face turned cold, he slammed his chopsticks on the table and yelled, "What do you mean by that!"
"What do I mean you can't hear me?"
Fu Chunmei has finalized her work at the pig farm today and is no longer afraid of him.
He sneered, "If you don't want to eat, don't eat."
After that, he put all the meat he had happily bought today into the children's bowls, "Your dad doesn't like to eat meat, let's eat more."
"If you don't eat it, your uncles will eat it all."
Before Fu Chunmei and her children joined the army, they lived with Deputy Regiment Commander Ma's parents.
Taking advantage of the fact that her husband was not at home, her parents-in-law, brother-in-law, and sisters-in-law often bullied her.
Her three children were often bullied by those brothers.
When the three children heard what Fu Chunmei said, they started to eat like pigs just out of the slaughter. In a short while, the plate of meat on the table was eaten up.
Sanni was a soft-hearted person and she secretly gave a piece of meat to her father.
Deputy Captain Ma was stunned when he saw this, and suddenly he didn't dare to look directly into his daughter's young eyes.
Daughters are to be married off, unlike sons who can carry on the family line.
These words automatically appeared in my mind as soon as I saw Sanni.
Who would have known that the only one who still remembered him at this time was his daughter, whom he had always disliked the most.
Deputy Head Ma felt extremely uncomfortable and awkward, and finally took out his anger on Fu Chunmei: "Look, Sanni is more sensible than you!"
Who knows, the words have just been spoken.
Sanni immediately put the meat from his bowl into Fu Chunmei's bowl, and looked at her father with an unhappy look.
How can you say mom!
Deputy Head Ma: “........”
During the confinement period, you cannot go out and need to rest more. Fu Chunmei also went to work at the pig farm and no longer took Sanni to see Shen Zhiyou as often as before.
But I can also meet Chen Cuijuan when I buy groceries.
The two of them greeted each other every day, and she knew that Shen Zhiyou had taken good care of herself during the confinement period and was in good health.
I had thought that Shen Zhiyou would be out of confinement in a month and I would be able to talk to her again.
Who would have thought that a month later, Chen Cuijuan told her that Shen Zhiyou had given birth to twins, so she would have to stay in confinement for twice as long, and it would take another month before she was released.
In the past, Fu Chunmei would have definitely scolded this person for being so squeamish, a country boy who was even more squeamish than a city boy.
But now, influenced by Chen Cuijuan and Shen Zhiyou, she starts to treat herself well.
Only then did she realize that the meat was damn delicious. It turned out that the man in the family was not a bad guy either. When she saw that the water tank was empty, she would not fetch water, but he would go and fetch water even though he was cursing at her.
Anyone who doesn't treat you well is a fool!
If you can spend one more month in confinement and enjoy the blessing, why not?
Fu Chunmei went back disappointed.
But at the same time, there are people who are counting the days like her.
I guess Shen Zhiyou has already finished her confinement, so when I come back I will just need to see my grandson.
After staying for a few days, I can use the excuse that Jin Fengyan is about to give birth to come back.
Gu's mother had thought it through clearly. After running to the commune and getting a letter of introduction, she set out from Tuanjie Commune.
