Chapter 46 Confinement

Moreover, the child was changed into a clean diaper. Perhaps he felt more comfortable, so he stopped crying immediately, hummed twice, and fell asleep again.

Jiang Cuihua covered the child with a blanket and whispered to the couple, "Children this young will cry when they are uncomfortable. Usually they are either hungry or have to poop. Oh... you still have a lot to learn."

Raising a child is not as simple as feeding him/her, there are many tricks involved.

This is the first time for the young couple to be parents, so it’s normal that they don’t understand anything.

Liu Yinyin sighed: "Mom, this family can't be without you."

Although the original owner had taken care of several nephews and nieces at home, she only dared to take care of them when they were a little older, and had never taken care of a newborn baby.

Not to mention Gu Chenggong, who went out to join the army when he was just a teenager, and he never even had a baby in his life.

Jiang Cuihua smiled and responded, "That's right, you are all novices, it's really hard to do without an elder to teach you."

Jiang Cuihua thought of the Gu family. Her daughter-in-law and her parents-in-law didn't know she had given birth yet. She glanced at her son-in-law and whispered to him, "Gu Cheng, you have to notify your parents."

No matter what Gu's family means, such an important matter as having a child must be discussed with them. Whether they come to see the child or not is their business.

But if she keeps silent, it means that the girl doesn't know etiquette.

Gu Cheng was stunned for a moment, then said: "...Okay, I'll go back tomorrow."

Someone was watching the child. After Liu Yinyin finished her millet porridge, she washed up and went back to sleep.

There were few people going to the hospital to give birth at that time, and there was an empty bed in the ward. After saying hello to the nurse, Jiang Cuihua lay down on the bed to rest at night.

As for Gu Cheng, he just sat next to the mother and child, and lay down when he was tired.

In the middle of the night, the child started making noises again, crying so hard that several people were woken up.

Jiang Cuihua touched the child's bottom, and then said to her daughter, "This time he is hungry and needs to be fed. Yinyin, you should feed him some milk quickly."

If a baby is not hungry, he may die of crying if he cannot get milk.

Liu Yinyin was shocked: "......"

Feeding!!!

She doesn't even know if she has milk.

However, there is indeed a sense of rise there.

Jiang Cuihua urged, "Hurry up, didn't you hear your son crying so hard?"

Liu Yinyin also felt sorry for the child, and hesitantly said, "...Mom, how about you two go out and avoid it for a while?"

Jiang Cuihua: “…”

I'm just an old lady, why is it so troublesome to feed a baby?

Still going out to avoid it?

There's no one else in the ward, so there's nothing to be shy about.

Without wasting time talking to her, Jiang Cuihua directly lifted up the lady's shirt and stuffed the child into her arms...

Liu Yinyin's face was so red that blood could drip out!

She held her son in her arms and fed him with an uncomfortable look on her face. The baby nudged against her chest a few times, but probably because he was not getting milk, after a while, he started crying again.

Liu Yinyin was so anxious that she wanted to cry with him: "Mom, do I have no milk?"

Jiang Cuihua said calmly: "It's always like this. It's not easy to get breast milk the first time. Let him try a few more times. If it doesn't work, let your man try."

Liu Yinyin: “…”

My God, women have no privacy at all after they have given birth.

Fortunately, the child tried several times and finally drank the milk. The child finally stopped crying after having milk.

Jiang Cuihua couldn't help laughing: "I told you, you're not small, you won't be without milk."

Liu Yinyin was so upset after hearing this, "Mom, please stop talking."

Liu Yinyin had just given birth and didn't have much milk now. But newborn babies don't eat much either. They would stop eating after just a few bites.

Jiang Cuihua took the child and coaxed him, and the child fell asleep sweetly after eating and drinking enough.

Liu Yinyin's birth went smoothly. She stayed in the hospital for one night and was discharged after the doctor checked that she was fine.

The next day, just after breakfast, Liu Mingyuan came to the hospital to pick up the child with a cart. The cart was covered with dry straw and a soft quilt, so there was no need to worry about the child getting scratched.

Liu Yinyin was born on the fifth day of the eleventh month in the lunar calendar. Today is the sixth day, and the weather in this month is already very cold.

Although it hasn't snowed yet, the temperature is still below ten degrees.

To avoid the wind, the mother and son were wrapped up tightly and sat on the cart.

Gu Cheng pulled the cart, Liu Mingyuan pushed the bicycle, and they slowly returned to the village.

When they got home, Gu Cheng carried Liu Yinyin into the house, and Jiang Cuihua followed behind with the child in her arms.

After putting the child down, Jiang Cuihua immediately closed all the doors and windows in the house, and said, "Women should not be exposed to the wind during confinement. It's cold now. You have to be careful. If you are exposed to the wind during confinement, you will suffer from illness in the future."

This is a major event that concerns the girl's life and cannot be taken lightly.

Thinking about this, Jiang Cuihua started talking about what women should pay attention to during confinement, and she stopped after a long time.

Liu Yinyin was holding the baby and feeding him. The baby drank little and got hungry quickly, so she had to be fed every two or three hours.

"......Mom, I'm going to kill a chicken and make soup." said Gu Cheng.

"Okay, just kill the chicken and I'll stew it later."

Jiang Cuihua drank some hot water and saw that her grandson's forehead was sweating from sucking. She smiled and said, "My grandson looks strong and can eat a lot. He needs to eat more milk-producing food to supplement his body, otherwise he won't have enough to eat in the future."

People of Jiang Cuihua's age speak casually, regardless of food or drink. Liu Yinyin is almost used to it, so it doesn't sound so awkward to her now.

A child of this age does nothing but eat, drink and sleep, so it’s not that difficult to take care of him.

Not long after, Mrs. Liu came to see her.

I brought a basket of eggs, a hen, a bag of brown sugar, and a bag of millet.

This gift is really a bit heavy...

The Liu family has not split up, and Mrs. Liu probably brought so many good things to her with the instructions of her mother-in-law.

Liu Yinyin held her forehead and said, "Sister-in-law, we have several chickens at home and we can't eat them all. You can take the hens back and keep them for laying eggs."

Sister Liu glanced at the child, smiled and said, "You can't raise it if you take it back. When I was raising the chicks, I deliberately took an extra hen to keep for you to eat during your confinement."

After hearing this, Liu Yinyin stopped refusing.

Mrs. Liu took a look at the room and felt that it was very warm inside.

It was cold, and there were children and women who were confinement after childbirth in the house. Gu Cheng had just stuffed two sticks of firewood into the fireplace and started burning it.

As the room gradually became warmer, Liu Yinyin undressed the baby.

Sister Liu looked at it with a little envy: "This thing is really good. You won't be afraid of the cold in the house anymore. You must be so comfortable during your confinement."
