Chapter 357 The hurried Spring Festival
The sound made the three of them suddenly open their eyes. Xiulan reached out and touched it and said, "Du Heng peed."
"Let me change it." Lin Heng picked up the third child and changed his diaper.
Even after changing his diaper, the little guy kept crying and I had no idea what he meant.
He stopped crying only after Xiulan took him to her and fed him.
As if seeing his younger brother feeding, the elder brother Luming started to cry again with a grunt.
Xiulan had no choice but to bring him over to feed him.
She looked up at Lin Heng and smiled, "Isn't it annoying to take care of children?"
"It's okay, it's normal." Lin Heng shook his head and said.
After feeding the two children, Lin Heng held them and played with them. Both of them had eyes like their mother, bright and big, but their noses and face shapes were like Lin Heng's, with a higher nose and a three-dimensional face shape.
Xiaoxia was also teasing her younger brother, watching them rolling their eyes and laughing happily.
"When are we going home?" Xiulan asked Lin Heng.
"Just stay in the hospital for at least another half a month."
Lin Heng looked at her and said.
"There's no need. You can rest just as well if you go back." Xiulan looked at him and said.
"Just stay here, don't think too much. Both you and the child are very vulnerable right now. The hospital seems to be more convenient here." Lin Heng patted her hands and said.
He knew that Xiulan felt that she was fine and wanted to save some money.
"Oh well."
Faced with Lin Heng's insistence, Xiulan could only nod and agree.
Having children, especially two at once, is also very tiring.
If you speak a little loudly, your child will wake up and cry. Most people try not to talk to their children when they are sleeping, for fear of waking them up.
Lin Heng is not like that. He talks when he should talk and walks when he should walk. He never lowers his normal volume and never makes any loud noise on purpose.
This is the correct way to raise a child, allowing the child to adapt to this world instead of deliberately creating a quiet environment to accommodate him.
Although this made the child very difficult to take care of at the beginning, the child woke up four or five times in one afternoon because of Lin Heng talking.
"I think the sun is quite bright now. Help me get out of bed and take a walk."
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xiulan looked at Lin Heng and said.
"Then walk around the room and look out the window. It's easy to catch a cold if you go outside." Lin Heng looked at her and said.
Walking around a little after delivery is beneficial to blood circulation and uterine contraction.
"Okay." Xiulan put on her coat and walked slowly in the delivery room with the help of Lin Heng.
At this time, the winter sun outside the window was a little dazzling, and there was light snow in the sky.
After walking for a while, Xiulan went back to bed to rest.
Lin Heng and Xiulan didn't sleep well at night and had to change diapers twice in the middle of the night.
The next morning, the doctor came and gave the two children their first vaccination after birth, checked their basic conditions, and issued birth certificates.
Xiulan's condition has also improved. She can get out of bed to eat by herself and practice Tai Chi by swinging her arms.
The good news is that it’s not snowing today and the sun is still strong, so it will probably be warmer outside in a couple of days.
In the next few days, Xiulan was recovering from the baby's delivery. Lin Heng prepared hazel grouse, fish, shrimp and various vegetables for her, all of which were prepared by the chef.
She also consulted a doctor for postpartum recovery. In addition to eating, she also practiced Tai Chi indoors to recover after getting up.
Eating well, drinking well, and exercising well are the top priorities for recovery, not just lying in bed doing nothing.
In terms of taking care of the children, both of them were somewhat mentally exhausted. In order to cultivate the habit of the two children to sleep peacefully without being afraid of noise, the first few days were the most difficult.
Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye. Xiulan has recovered a lot. Her complexion has become rosy, her body has become stronger, and she has basically recovered her physical fitness. She is the best recovering mother in the hospital during the same period.
Lin Heng was tortured by the two children for more than ten days, and finally he began to develop their habits. Now he basically would not wake up when someone talked to him while he was asleep.
Early in the morning on the 16th, there were only four days left until the New Year. After breakfast, Xiulan fed her child and then exercised in her room.
She lived in a separate delivery room with plenty of space and her exercise was not affected.
Although I have almost recovered, I still don’t dare to go out. If I catch a cold during the confinement period, it will have a great impact on my body’s recovery.
“Thump, thump, thump!”
"Is Xiulan here?"
Xiulan had just finished exercising when there was a knock on the door.
"Zhang Cui, please come in."
Lin Heng opened the door and found Zhang Cui from the nearby delivery room. He greeted her in with a smile.
During these days of exercise, Xiulan also met many friends who were also pregnant women, and Zhang Cui was one of them.
Zhang Cui instinctively shushed, "Keep your voice down. What if you wake up your child?"
"Haha, it's okay. My child can't be woken up by it." Lin Heng waved his hand indifferently.
"Impossible?" Zhang Cui looked towards the head of the bed and really found that the two children had no intention of waking up.
"Really." Xiulan came over and said with a smile.
Zhang Cui walked over and found that the two babies were really sleeping soundly. She was shocked and asked, "How did you do that?"
She didn't even dare to say a word while the child was asleep.
"Just speak normally from the beginning, and the children will get used to it later." Xiulan said with a smile.
"Then I'll go back and try it." Zhang Cui said.
The two of them chatted, and then Lin Heng took Xiaoxia out for a walk and some fresh air.
After returning, Xiulan looked at Lin Heng and said, "I have recovered very well recently. Let's be discharged from the hospital."
"Okay, if you try to exercise outside in the next two days, we'll be discharged from the hospital."
Lin Heng nodded in agreement.
"Okay." Xiulan nodded.
After three more days of training, they were almost adapted to the new environment, and were discharged from the hospital early in the morning on the 20th, the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Lin Heng first moved the things back home, and then he and Xiulan each carried a child back home.
When they left, several pregnant women came to see them off, including Zhang Cui.
In the end, she did not do as Xiulan said, not because she was reluctant, but because she could not stand the annoyance of the child being woken up and crying before the habit was formed.
The temperature today was unusually cold, and both children were wrapped up tightly. Like Xiaoxia, they wore bright red clothes, looking very prosperous.
There is no snow outside today, and there is joy everywhere. The sound of firecrackers is endless, and children are chasing and playing in their new clothes.
They walked a few hundred meters and arrived at the hospital's staff compound. Lin Heng had already lit the stove in the house, so it was no longer cold after they entered the house.
“Waaaaaah!”
As soon as Xiulan put Lin Duheng in the crib, the little guy started crying.
"Oh, why can't I leave my arms?" Xiulan looked at him helplessly, but didn't hug him.
She knew very well that if you picked up the baby as soon as it cried, you would have to hold it in your arms for the rest of the year.
As long as there is nothing else to do, the child can cry as much as he wants. Satisfying him as soon as he cries will only form a wrong conditioned reflex.
Many people find it difficult to raise children because they don’t know how to do it, and wrong behaviors make it difficult to raise children.
"It's okay, his brother won't cry." Lin Heng placed his second son Lu Ming on the side with a wooden fence between them.
“Hehe~”
Looking at his brother crying, Lin Luming smiled foolishly and blew a bubble.
When she found that no one was paying attention to her and her brother was still smiling foolishly, Lin Duheng stopped crying and reached out to her brother.
Xiaoxia found it very interesting and lay down beside it, watching curiously.
"Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year. Should we go back in the next two days so that we can celebrate the New Year for a few more days?"
Xiulan sat down and took a sip of water and asked.
"Let's see how things go at the end of the month. You've just been discharged from the hospital, so you should all get used to it. If there's no problem, you can go back."
Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and said that the environment outside was different from the delivery room in the hospital and she still needed to adapt. If there was any problem with the child in the near future, she should go see a doctor.
"Then we will probably go home on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, which is good too. We don't have to visit relatives." Xiulan nodded. She didn't care. She would take care of Lin Heng wherever he went.
"Today is New Year's Day. I'll make whatever you want to eat." Lin Heng said to Xiulan.
"Dad, I want to eat steamed rice and candied haws." Xiaoxia raised her hand and said. She especially liked steamed glutinous rice with red dates, sweet potatoes and brown sugar.
Lin Heng smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll make a candied haws later."
Although he has two sons, Lin Heng does not neglect his daughter at all and still tells her stories to put her to sleep.
He also did not instill in her the idea of protecting her younger brother and putting him first. He hoped that each of his children would first understand to cherish themselves, and nothing else.
Xiulan smiled and said, "Let me help you. I'm in good health now."
"Okay, let's cook together." Lin Heng said with a smile.
However, before cooking, they packed New Year's money for Xiaoxia and her two newborn children. Although they were not at home, the New Year's ceremony was still necessary.
Then they asked Xiaoxia to help look after the two younger brothers while they went to the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous lunch. Although they were not at home, they still had to celebrate the New Year.
The meal was ready and the family had just started eating when there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Brother, open the door!"
"Second brother, it's us."
Then the voices of Lin Yue and Caiyun were heard outside.
Lin Heng quickly got up and opened the door. Xiaoxia followed him and hugged her aunt.
"Brother, Caiyun, why did you come down?" Lin Heng smiled and led the two of them into the house and sat down.
The next day, he called the town to hear the news that Xiulan had given birth successfully, and had someone take the letter to the village.
Caiyun was going to come down when she was on holiday, but she caught a cold and was afraid of infecting Xiulan, so she didn't go down for the time being. Later, her cold recovered, but Xiulan was already in the hospital, and he didn't have time to leave to pick her up, so he didn't let her come down.
Also, he felt that it was not good to always call Caiyun to help him. Caiyun should have time to rest, play, read a book, etc. during the holidays.
You have to take care of your own children yourself, and relying on Caiyun can only be a temporary relief.
"We came down in a carriage and brought you some vegetables and two hazel grouse and a grouse that I shot." Lin Yue pointed to the vegetables and three chickens on the table.
"I'm here to help my sister-in-law take care of the baby. I also made small cotton hats for my two little nephews." Caiyun said, holding two small red hats.
"Thank you, brother and Caiyun." Lin Heng said with a smile, and was not polite to his brother Caiyun.
The gift from his elder brother was also valuable. Hazel grouse are very valuable but difficult to hunt. He caught two at once, so they must have been running around in the mountains for quite a while.
"Don't say such polite words, just take us to see our two nephews." Lin Yue said with a smile.
"Yes, this is the first time I see twins." Caiyun also said with a smile.
Xiaoxia said first: "My brother is over there. I will take you to see my aunt."
Lin Heng and Xiulan also made way for the two men to come to the crib and watch.
“Wa ...
The two little guys couldn't sleep and were twisting and turning in bed. When they saw the two strangers, Lin Duheng burst into tears first.
"Don't cry, don't cry." Xiulan patted them gently, and Caiyun and Lin Yue hurried away.
"These two little guys are so cute." Caiyun said with a smile.
Lin Yue also nodded and said: "The two nephews have really inherited your looks perfectly."
Xiulan smiled and said, "She looks clean, but actually she is not a worry at all."
"You must not have eaten yet, so sit down and eat first." Lin Hengze said.
After sitting down to have lunch, Caiyun started chatting with Xiulan about how to take care of her two nephews, as she was afraid that she could not take good care of them.
Lin Heng chatted with his elder brother for a while and learned that he came down through the revolving door with Caiyun and would be back soon as he had to pay New Year's greetings in the afternoon.
Lin Heng did not try to keep them, as this was not a suitable place to keep guests. He gave each of his two twin nephews a New Year's red envelope and drove the carriage back home.
"Brother, when are you going back? Mom and Dad are looking forward to your return." Caiyun asked after her eldest brother left.
"We have to wait at least four or five more days, and then see how the situation develops." Lin Heng roughly explained to Caiyun.
"Oh, I see." Caiyun had no objection to this. It would be nice to see how people in the city celebrate the New Year.
With Caiyun's help, both Xiulan and Lin Heng felt much more relaxed.
Xiulan has more time to exercise and her body recovers faster, while Lin Heng can go out and do other things.
During the Spring Festival, the city is decorated with lights and is very lively. The three of you can take turns going out to take a look and feel the New Year atmosphere in the city.
Five days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was already the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Many units in the city resumed production and shops opened.
Xiulan and her two children did not have any problems and were all healthy. Xiulan's postpartum recovery was better than expected, which might be related to her regular exercise with Lin Heng before. The two children were also plump and white under her breastfeeding.
So they all prepared to go home. But the weather was cold, and his tricycle was not suitable for Xiulan and the children, so Lin Heng planned to rent a van to take them back.
In order to save more money, Lin Heng decided to bring his parents along, take a family photo together, and then go back together in a rented van.
Xiulan and Caiyun both thought this was a very good suggestion, so early in the morning on the fifth day of the New Year, Lin Heng got up and drove his sidecar back to the village to pick up his parents.
