Chapter 420 Three Sons
It’s not a good idea for a baby to eat something nutritious right after giving birth, so Jiang Cuihua would make some chicken soup or pig’s trotter soup for Liu Yinyin to nourish her.
But it was much better than the first day. In the past few days, Liu Yinyin would get out of bed and walk around every day.
At the beginning, it was very painful to walk a few steps, I had no strength in my body, and I would break out in cold sweats whenever I moved.
The situation is better now. I can slowly walk a short distance and go to the toilet by myself.
That morning, Jiang Cuihua made pigeon soup for Liu Yinyin. The doctor said that pigeon soup has anti-inflammatory effects and is suitable for women who have just given birth.
Jiang Cuihua poured a bowl of soup for her daughter: "There is still half of it in the pot, save it for you to eat in the evening."
Liu Yinyin took a sip of pigeon soup and glanced at her three sons who were sleeping soundly in the small bed.
Newborn babies change every day. But within a week or so, some of them had plumper faces and their skin looked much better than when they were just born.
After watching for a while, Liu Yinyin turned around and said to Jiang Cuihua, "Mom, you have worked hard these past few days. Go back and have a good rest this afternoon. I will take care of the children."
Jiang Cuihua has been really busy these days. She has to take care of several children at night and cook soup for Liu Yinyin during the day.
I didn't get enough rest at all, and after a few days, I had dark circles under my eyes.
Jiang Cuihua said, "That won't work. You're not well yet."
The daughter has lost a lot of energy while giving birth to the child. If she doesn't take good care of herself during the confinement period, she will definitely suffer from illness in the future.
It doesn't matter if she works a little harder.
Liu Yinyin: "Gu Cheng is still here. He will feed the baby and change his diapers."
Jiang Cuihua muttered, "Gu Cheng hasn't had a good rest these days. He has to go back to the army for training tomorrow. Let Gu Cheng go back and rest in the afternoon..."
During this time, her son-in-law worked harder than her.
I had a week's vacation before, but seeing that Liu Yinyin had not recovered well, I took another two days off.
We must go back to the island tomorrow.
Gu Cheng came in from outside with a washed lunch box. Hearing what Jiang Cuihua said, he hurriedly said, "Mom, go back and have a rest..."
After a pause, Gu Cheng pondered: "How about I ask my second sister-in-law to come over for a few days after we return to the island tomorrow?"
When he was not here, Jiang Cuihua had to take care of several children and Liu Yinyin by herself, and she was simply overwhelmed.
Jiang Cuihua thought about it and said, "Okay, and... remember to ask her to bring the few hens we raise at home."
It’s not that convenient to buy chicken at the supply and marketing cooperative, you need meat coupons.
With so many children and adults to take care of, let alone asking Liu Ersao to help alone, it would not be too much to ask two more people to help.
Not long after Jiang Cuihua left, the eldest child woke up, followed by the second and third children.
Liu Yinyin touched the boss's butt and it was not wet, so he must be hungry.
No matter how capable Gu Cheng is, it would still be a mess for him to deal with three children alone.
He was responsible for coaxing the child, while Liu Yinyin helped to make milk powder.
The milk powder is ready, but how to feed the baby becomes another problem.
Two people can only feed two children first.
Finally...the third child cried loudly because of hunger.
For fear of not being able to tell the three children apart, Jiang Cuihua put red dots on the foreheads of her three grandchildren.
One for the eldest, two for the second, and three for the third, so that you won’t be confused about how many children there are.
Gu Cheng fed the eldest child and then held the third child to feed him.
After drinking the milk, the third child sniffed and stopped crying immediately.
The eldest child, who had drunk his fill of milk, was lying on the bed by himself, staring at the ceiling with his big dark eyes.
After a while, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Liu Yinyin's heart softened when she saw this, and she suddenly remembered something: "Gu Cheng, we haven't named the child yet?"
Because they didn't know the gender, they hadn't discussed the names of the children before.
Three names at once...
Gu Cheng had thought of two names before: "How about Gu Yao and Gu Shun?"
Liu Yinyin whispered: "Yao, Shun...did you come up with this?"
Gu Cheng shook his head slightly: "No, when we were at Big Swallow Island before, Mr. Zhou heard that you were pregnant with twins and mentioned it casually."
"I don't mean anything else. I just hope that my two children can live in a peaceful and prosperous world in the future..."
Liu Yinyin paused and said thoughtfully, "Yes."
Once the two children grow up, it will be a good time.
Liu Yinyin thought: "Let's do as you said. The eldest will be called Gu Yao, the second will be called Gu Shun, and the third... will be called Gu Yu, right?"
It just happened to be complete, and I’m too lazy to think about it anymore.
Gu Cheng had no objection: "Okay, I'll register them this way later."
Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "By the way, when I am better, I will take the kids to Big Swallow Island to see Mr. and Mrs. Zhou."
Every time Gu Cheng went back to Dayanzi Island, Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou would send them a lot of food, which was very thoughtful.
Gu Cheng nodded: "Okay."
He actually had the same idea.
The three children were born just a few days ago, and now they still sleep after eating.
As long as they are not uncomfortable, the children will not cry and are quite easy to take care of.
Gu Cheng hesitated for a moment and said, "There is not much milk powder left at home. I bought a few bags at the department store, but I don't think they will last for a few days."
"I'll call my friend later and ask him to help me get some milk powder."
Liu Yinyin had previously smuggled a lot of milk powder out of the system.
But, with three children, I need to feed them every two or three hours.
A bag of milk powder can only last for two or three days.
Money is not a problem, it's just that materials are scarce these days and the supply of milk powder is limited, so you can't buy as much as you want.
Liu Yinyin pondered for a moment and said, "I'll ask Dong Huaqing to buy some milk powder for me in a couple of days..."
In fact, I wanted to take this opportunity to smuggle some milk powder out.
There are three children, and if we don’t buy more, they won’t be enough to eat.
Gu Cheng took care of the children all afternoon, and he also stayed on duty in Liu Yinyin's room at night.
Early on the first morning, Gu Cheng packed up his things and returned to the island.
There is only one boat from the island to Qingshi in the morning.
Mrs. Liu will not come until at least tomorrow morning.
Today...I can only ask the nurses in the hospital for help.
Liu Yinyin found Su Xiaoqing and secretly gave her some money.
There were no other requests, just asking her to lend a hand when Jiang Cuihua was too busy.
Several children now stay in Liu Yinyin's ward during the day and at night.
In order to avoid disturbing Liu Yinyin's rest, Jiang Cuihua would carry them to another room to sleep.
That morning, Liu Yinyin looked after the children while Jiang Cuihua went to the hospital cafeteria to get food.
At this critical moment, there is no extra time to buy groceries and cook.
After Jiang Cuihua left.
A doctor came to the ward to check Liu Yinyin's physical condition and to see if the wound had healed.
