Chapter 146 Chapter 146 I’m out of confinement.
At the hospital.
After the couple chatted for a while, Liu Shuangcui came back with a flashlight.
She walked in, looked at Mu Mian and whispered, "Why are you still sitting here? Aren't you sleepy?"
If she hadn't said it, she wouldn't have felt it. But once she said it, Mu Mian actually felt a little sleepy, mainly because she was physically tired. However, she didn't lie down immediately. She twisted her body.
He glanced at his daughter who was sleeping soundly beside him and asked, "Xinxin, should she wake up for milk later?"
Wen Chen: "You sleep, I'll watch you."
As he spoke, he bent down and took out the quilt that his wife was leaning on, and moved the pillow.
Liu Shuangcui also said something similar, "Why are you worrying so much? Take a break. Can Xiao Wen and I take care of a little kid?"
The pillows were all arranged, and Mu Mian lay down, "Hey, then I'll go to sleep first!"
Giving birth is really a physical job. Even though Mu Mian was still thinking about feeding her daughter before going to bed, in fact, she fell asleep within two minutes of lying down, and slept soundly.
During this time, Mu Mian didn't know what time it was, he vaguely heard his daughter crying, and then he instinctively turned his body to the side and reached out to hug her.
After feeding her, Mu Mian didn’t even know when her daughter was taken away. She fell asleep again as soon as she pulled her clothes. With her fourth brother and mother around, she felt relieved.
This happened several times throughout the night. Newborn babies have small stomachs and get hungry easily, so they need to eat when they wake up.
The next day was a sunny day. The sun was shining brightly and it was quite hot, but there was no wind at all.
Mu Mian and Xinxin are both fine, so they can be discharged from the hospital in the afternoon.
He brought in big and small bags, stayed there for a night, and then carried back big and small bags. Mu Mian had packed his things on a weekly basis before, but Xinxin left too quickly and many of the things were not used.
It was just past three in the afternoon when the family got home.
Xixi had just finished school. The lower grades of the elementary school finish school very early, so she also asked her deskmate Xiaoyan to come home, as well as a few classmates from the courtyard.
Throughout the day, the little girl boasted several times at school that her aunt had given her a super beautiful sister.
At this moment, the little girl still looked a little proud, "Xiaoyan, look, isn't my sister Xinxin very pretty?"
Xiaoyan looked into Mu Mian's arms shyly and curiously, and whispered, "Yeah, it looks good."
As she spoke, she took out a flower made of dogtail grass from her pocket. She looked at Mu Mian and said, "Would you like to play with this, sister?"
Mu Mian took it and said, "Thank you, Xiaoyan."
He definitely won’t be able to play, but the child is so thoughtful.
Xiaoyan: "No, you're welcome."
Mu Mian instructed his niece, "Xixi, take the candies in the cabinet and share them with your friends."
The primary school students who got the candies were very happy. However, kids of this age were not that interested in the baby. After taking a few glances, some of them ran downstairs to play other things, while others asked Xixi to borrow picture books to read.
As soon as the elementary school students left, some of the neighbors' sisters-in-law came. Generally, if they have a good relationship, they will visit when someone's family has a baby.
What's more, Mu Mian's condition was a bit strange. He went into labor as soon as he arrived at the hospital. The timing was so coincidental that even his sisters-in-law were astonished. All they said was... This child is really sympathetic to his mother.
In recent years, many pregnant women in our hospital choose to give birth in the hospital, mainly because a few years ago, someone almost lost two lives when giving birth at home. Although the baby was saved in the end, both the mother and the child were seriously injured.
The mother had to stay in the hospital for more than half a month before she could barely get out of bed. Everyone was scared at the time, fearing that she would have a difficult delivery at home. If she was not rescued in time or the situation was more serious, it would really be fatal.
Many women who go to the hospital to give birth are similar to Nie Sihui before. They can’t grasp the timing accurately and don’t know when the baby will be born, so they have to stay in the hospital for several days.
Some people don't want to delay things and want to wait until the start.
Then there was a case where the baby was born too quickly and was born halfway through the journey, causing chaos.
The second floor of Building 7 is very lively at this moment.
Some people praised the child for being so sensible, but more people were expressing their feelings... Mu Mian was really good at giving birth, and the child was so beautiful!
Yesterday, Xixi was saying that Xinxin was the most beautiful child she had ever seen, and this was not an exaggeration at all. Now many of her sisters-in-law are saying the same thing.
Today’s Xinxin is not as red as it was yesterday when it was just born. It is small and white with a hint of red, which makes people feel soft just by looking at it.
In the blink of an eye, it was dusk.
Dong Qie, who had been out for three or four days, reported back to work and immediately ran to Building 7. When he saw Xinxin, he punched Wen Chen in jealousy, "Fuck you, what good fortune did you accumulate in your previous life!"
Wen Chen glanced at Dong Qie calmly and said, "Watch your words and actions, and don't swear in front of my daughter."
Mu Zhuo agreed, "That's right, put away your jealous face."
Xixi acted like a peace ambassador again, "Godfather, please don't curse me. Cursing is wrong."
Dong Qie moved the little girl's head and said, "Godfather didn't curse me."
He is just jealous! Pure jealousy!
The two little brats in his family are now more troublesome than the other.
The day ended with a lively dinner between the two families, and Mu Mian officially began her confinement life. Fortunately, this month is not particularly hot, as it would have been quite painful to be in confinement in June or July.
Xinxin’s first night at home was similar to last night. She woke up to eat, ate and then slept. If her diaper was wet and she felt uncomfortable, she would cry a few times.
The next day was a cloudy day. Wen Zhen took some free time to call the capital. There was a new baby in the family, so of course he had to announce the good news.
As soon as Wen Zhe heard Wen Chen's voice, he asked, "Did your sister-in-law give birth?"
Wen Chen: "Yes, it was born the day before yesterday, it's a girl."
Wen Zhe laughed, "What a nice girl! What does she look like? Comrade Wen Weiguo was still talking to me last Sunday, saying that he hoped his aunt could give birth to a sister like Xixi."
Wen Chen: "Not like me, Xinxin is like Xiaomian."
Wen Zhe's hearty laughter came from the receiver, "Hahaha, it's good to be like your sister-in-law. If she's like you, there will probably be another comrade Wen Weiguo in the family."
Wen Anjing and Wen Anhang, like Xixi, started school last year and are in the second grade this year.
This girl hasn't changed much since she started school. She jumps up and down every day. She even made a fool of herself when she first started school. When she went to the girls' room with a buzz cut, all the girls who didn't know her were startled.
She was asked to grow her hair long but she refused, saying it would be troublesome and she would have to go to war in the future!
No matter how old she is, this girl's ambition is as firm as ever. Although Wen Zhe and his wife are a little troubled by their daughter's tomboyish appearance, Grandpa Wen is quite satisfied. After all, this is an old man who thinks that joining the army is the first choice in life.
At the moment, the Wen brothers didn't chat for too long. It was still working hours and they were all very busy. Wen Chen reported the good news just like he was reporting a task. He spoke briefly and to the point and then hung up the phone.
The days in late September passed quickly, and it was National Day in a blink of an eye. The courtyard was also quite lively this year, with many activities, more lively than last year. It was a pity that Mu Mian couldn't go out to see it.
Because it was cold and windy outside that day, she, who was in confinement, could not be exposed to the cold wind. If the weather was good and sunny, she could go downstairs to bask in the sun.
Although he couldn't go out, Mu Mian still had a sumptuous birthday meal.
Because the child’s father won first place in the competition, he won a few pounds of mutton and some rapeseed oil. The oil is not the point; the point is that mutton is relatively rare.
Meats like beef and mutton are in short supply at meat stations, and most of them are pork.
Everyone in the yard laughed and said that the couple were really born in the Year of the Rat, as they would steal good things into the house as soon as they made a move.
Last year, Mu Mian won five kilograms of meat in a competition with the old squad leader of the kitchen squad. This year, Wen Chen followed closely in the footsteps of his daughter-in-law. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Both the husband and wife are capable.
After her birthday, one third of her confinement period had passed. Except for not being able to go out often, Mu Mian didn't find it boring. There were many things she could do at home.
She mainly makes money by drawing picture books. Mu Mian does not have the so-called stupidity of three years after pregnancy. On the contrary, she has a lot of inspiration these days. Every day she sorts out story summaries, reads books, or chats with her sisters-in-law. The days pass very quickly.
Xinxin grew up day by day and became more beautiful than when she was just born. Her skin was as white, tender and smooth as a peeled egg. As her mother, Mu Mian wanted to kiss her every day.
By the end of October, Mu Mian was out of confinement.
Xinxin is also one month old, but there is no full-month banquet because in a few days the second child of the Dong family, Dong Xuxu, will be one year old.
Since the date was close, the two families decided to just prepare two tables together and invite other people in the group to come and have fun.
Although he didn't plan to hold a grand full-moon banquet, Mu Mian still took a full-moon photo of Xinxin with a sense of ceremony. Of course, he had to make full use of the camera he bought.
In fact, in the past month, Mu Mian has taken many photos, including those of Xinxin alone, those of Xinxin being held by her family, and those of Xinxin and Beibei lying side by side.
If the film was sufficient, she could have taken many more photos.
On November 3rd, Mu Mian and his family went to Dong Qie's house and planned to hold a banquet at their home.
In the middle of the morning, the room was bustling with activity, and the female comrades were busy in a hurry. Those who came were all people with whom we had good relations, such as the political commissar's family and the regiment chief of staff's family.
There was not enough space in the kitchen for so many people, so the men helped outside pick vegetables and so on.
Mu Mian did nothing. She and Nie Sihui were looking after the children. There were quite a lot of children today. Except for Xinxin and Beibei who couldn't walk,
, there are also many children in the families of other sisters-in-law.
The eldest one liked to listen to Mu Mian telling stories, and there were seven or eight other children, big and small, surrounding her.
The birthday boy, Dong Xuxu, was originally playing with his father. Seeing the excitement over here, he staggered over holding Dong Qie's hand, grabbed Mu Mian's clothes and stood in front of Xinxin.
The little boy uttered "ah ah" twice. Apart from calling mom and dad, he couldn't say anything else.
Mu Mian helped the little boy, "Sister."
Xiao Xuxu: “No~”
Dong Lezhang had an expression that said, "My brother seems to be a fool." "It's my sister, not nothing."
In the crowd of male comrades not far away, the political commissar Pang Tianguang, the head of a regiment, glanced at Mu Mian, then smiled and joked, "Since your second son is so fond of Lao Wen's daughter, I think it would be a good idea to arrange a marriage for him."
Dong Qie had a look on his face that said, "You hit the nail on the head." "Of course I'm willing to do it! What do you think, Lao Wen?"
The person involved, Wen Zhuan, glanced at Dong Qie and said coldly, "Get lost."
Mu Zhuo happened to be at the door at this moment, and he immediately opened the door, "Come on, the door is open, get out of here."
Dong Qie said in a boastful manner, "Is there any justice in the world? This is my home! Old Pang, please give me some advice."
Pang Tianguang was already laughing so hard when he mentioned this. If he weren't a political commissar, he could have turned a good show with just one sentence.
As for the children, Pang Tianguang's wife Kuai Lan got some time and sat next to Mu Mian.
Xinxin is awake now. The little girl can already smile. As she grows up, she looks more and more like Mu Mian, with black and bright eyes.
Kuai Lan made a few "dee-dee" sounds to tease the child, and Xinxin smiled to give him face.
Her smile made Kuai Lan very fond of her. She said something similar to what she said to her husband, "Oh, I want to take this little girl home."
When we have nothing to do, we visit each other and chat.
Everyone in the family compound knows about this these days. The daughter of Captain Wen is well-behaved and easy to take care of. She doesn't make any noise at all and can be coaxed to sleep by just reading to her. Everyone who hears this will say something... This kid really came to repay her gratitude.
As soon as Kuai Lan said this, Mu Mian hugged his daughter tighter as if jokingly, smiling, "No, sister-in-law, our fourth brother finally had a daughter like this in his old age!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the room burst into laughter.
In this wave, Chunchun sacrificed his father to save his daughter.
