Chapter 198 Two in One
The little baby who was born this morning in the next bed started crying loudly, with full energy and a very loud voice.
As soon as he started crying, the child on the other bed in the corner also started howling, and the ward was in a state of chaos.
Peng Guihua was worried that the two of them would be frightened, so she quickly reached out and patted them at the same time.
In the end, the two little guys just frowned, moved their little heads in the soft blanket, and then there was no movement.
The crying outside did not affect Ding Guo's communication in the sea of consciousness. He heard the system say, "Host, the reward has come down, two jade pendants."
Ding Guo paused slightly when drinking the chicken soup, not because of Haozi's words, but because he suddenly felt a bloated feeling in his chest.
Is this the arrival of the children’s rations?
After the feeling passed, Ding Guo asked, "Jade pendant?"
System: "Well, the two jade pendants have the effect of strengthening the body and protecting the safety of the two little hosts. When the two little hosts are 18 years old, they can each activate a space."
Ding Guo: "Do I need to bind the system as well?"
System: "No system implantation detected. It should only have space and body protection effects."
Very nice reward.
After experiencing the convenience of the space, Ding Guo was very satisfied with this gift.
It’s just that it’s not convenient to wear it in the current environment, but in a few years you will be able to wear it openly.
You can wear it a few years later, the space can only be activated when you are eighteen.
Besides, the child will be with someone nearby in the next few years, so there won’t be any problem with safety.
To keep fit... I drank a lot of well water in my stomach, so the health of the two babies is fine.
The system didn't know what its host was thinking, so it continued to provide additional explanations, but unexpectedly, it exactly matched Ding Guo's concerns.
"Host, you can drip blood on them to recognize the master. After the master recognizes the master, the jade pendant will be invisible, and only the host can see it. When the space is officially activated, the invisible function will be automatically cancelled. The two little hosts will have their own judgment ability by then, and the host will not have to worry about the jade pendant being exposed."
Ding Guo's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to continue responding to Haozi, Xiaobao, who was lying beside him, suddenly grunted, his delicate brows furrowed, his little mouth sucked the air with a smacking sound, and his two little hands waved in an unskilled manner.
Peng Guihua: "Maybe he's hungry."
He just had his diaper changed not long ago, and he was still slurping up air.
Just then the nurse came in and reminded Ding Guo to try to feed the baby and let the baby suck.
"I was just talking about that!" Peng Guihua smiled and pulled the curtain on the bed, teaching Ding Guo how to breastfeed.
As a new mother, she was more or less embarrassed to feed her child for the first time. However, Ding Guo gritted her teeth and lifted up her clothes to try to breastfeed her child.
Peng Guihua smiled and said, "These two children are definitely very worry-free and easy to take care of."
When he was born, he cried twice, and his cries were loud and clear.
When they were sent back to the ward, they lay there quietly and slept. When they peed, they hummed twice and howled symbolically. After I changed them into clean diapers, they closed their eyes and fell asleep again.
The type who doesn't make a fuss when nothing happens, and never puts himself in a difficult position when something happens.
As expected, as soon as he touched his "rice bowl", Xiaobao started to beat it hard like a wolf.
Ding Guo felt a stinging pain like a needle prick, and frowned in shock: "How can he be so strong?"
She finally understood the meaning of the phrase 'even using all the strength you have to suck milk'. How could such a tiny child use so much strength to suck milk?
The little guy just started sucking, but after two mouthfuls he didn't get his rations, so he grunted impatiently. But soon, a little bit of milky white appeared at the corners of his mouth, and Ding Guo heard an exaggerated swallowing sound.
Peng Guihua whispered happily, "Your milk comes out pretty quickly."
As soon as one of them started eating, the other one started to grunt as if sensing something.
Peng Guihua went over, picked up the child, patted him gently, and coaxed him, "Oh, you're hungry too. Wait a minute. You can eat after your sister finishes."
Dabao, who was held in Peng Guihua's arms, moved his left eye, opened it a little bit with difficulty, then closed it again, pursed his little mouth and continued to grunt, but not as quickly.
He grunted twice, and when he was sure that he would not be able to eat his rations for the time being, he stopped grunting and turned his little head to listen to the person in the next bed talking.
The baby in the next bed was just born this morning. When she was pushed back to the ward, Ding Guo had just completed the hospitalization procedures and entered the ward.
The old lady who was in charge of taking care of the woman in labor was complaining: "Look at other people. They have milk soon after giving birth. It's been such a long time since you started having milk. If my grandson starves, I will never forgive you."
The pregnant woman had a sallow complexion. Perhaps she was used to being suppressed by her mother-in-law, so she was a little timid and spoke cautiously: "Mom, of course there is. My milk just came late."
Peng Guihua held Dabao in her arms and whispered to Ding Guo in his ear about the old lady next door: "When you were sleeping, the old lady was complaining that her daughter-in-law had no milk and didn't even look at what she was feeding her."
The husband of the woman in labor came to bring her food: two steamed buns made of 100 grams of flour, a bowl of cornmeal porridge so thin that it could be used as a mirror, and some pickles.
They want their daughter-in-law to carry on their family line, but they don't serve her well. Now she is still nagging about it. I don't know where they get the nerve to complain.
Ding Guo didn't know how much to feed the child, but Xiaobao fell asleep after eating for a while and unconsciously let go of the bowl of food.
Peng Guihua whispered, "It's almost done. I'll pat the back and you feed it."
The two exchanged children.
Pei Che came in from outside and saw that the curtain on his bed was drawn. He was a little confused: "Third Aunt?"
Peng Guihua lifted the curtain a little, held Xiaobao out, and said with a smile, "She's feeding the baby."
Pei Che went out to wash diapers. Peng Guihua said hurriedly, "Put it on the bedside to dry. I've wiped it."
Pei Che pushed open a gap and squeezed in, and saw his wife holding the child in one hand and feeding her, while holding the bowl in the other hand and continuing to drink chicken soup.
It is not difficult to hold a baby. She was a little unfamiliar with feeding the first baby, but she was an expert when feeding the second one. She could hold the baby with one hand to feed without delaying her own meals.
Pei Che withdrew his gaze from Dabao who was breastfeeding and turned his head away.
Why is he greedy when the child is feeding? He swallows his saliva uncontrollably. He is sick.
After hanging up the diaper, he looked back and saw that the brown sugar egg on the table had not been eaten yet. He touched it and found it was still warm. He said, "Do you eat the egg first if I feed you?"
Ding Guo: "You hold the bowl and I'll eat it myself."
Pei Che: "Okay!"
Ding Guo only ate the eggs and drank half a bowl of brown sugar water.
I drank a bowl of chicken soup, ate half a chicken and one and a half steamed buns.
The appetite is surprisingly good.
After Ding Guo finished eating and took care of the two little ones, Peng Guihua and Pei Che sat down to eat.
Aunt Qiao cooked some dishes for them and gave them some steamed buns.
Pei Che also took away the brown sugar water and some chicken soup that Ding Guo hadn't finished.
In the afternoon, Pei Che wanted Peng Guihua to go back and rest while he stayed here to take care of his wife and children. How could Peng Guihua agree?
"You two are both newbies. How can you do this without an experienced person by your side?" Peng Guihua asked Pei Che, "How long will you rest?"
Pei Che looked at Ding Guo with some regret and said, "I'll go back the day after tomorrow."
Peng Guihua nodded: "It's okay, just go about your business, Ding Guo has so many people here to take care of him."
Ding Guo also understood that it was not easy to get two days off when he just entered the military academy.
She asked Pei Che to call Aunt Yu and tell her.
Pei Che said: "I have already called, and Aunt Wu has also said so."
The Song family and the Ding family are also relatives, so such a happy event must be informed as soon as possible.
Aunt Yu loves Ding Guo very much and has often visited our house to take care of and help. Now that Guoguo has given birth, of course she has to tell Aunt Yu.
Ding Guo smiled at him approvingly, very satisfied with his meticulousness.
Then he asked Pei Che to ask the doctor about his discharge.
Having given birth naturally and being in good physical condition, Ding Guo wanted to be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible. If possible, she wanted to go home today.
In the morning, the old man suggested changing her ward, but Ding Guo did not agree because she did not plan to stay in the hospital for too long.
Peng Guihua didn't stop her, mainly because her niece was in visibly better condition and didn't look like someone who had just given birth to two children.
Pei Che got up and went to find a doctor, asking him to examine his wife. If the doctor said there was no problem, she could go home today if she wanted.
There was nothing wrong with Ding Guo's condition, but because they were giving birth to twins, the doctor still recommended that they stay overnight for observation and be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.
Bang!
The door of the ward was pushed open, and the husband of the woman in the next bed came in with a bag of milk powder. He spoke in a loud voice: "Do you have milk? If you only eat milk powder, you won't be able to finish it..."
Before the man finished speaking, Pei Che looked over with eyes as sharp as a knife, lowering his voice but with full momentum: "Keep your voice down!"
But it was too late to stop it, and several newborn babies in the ward burst into tears.
Dabao and Xiaobao also twisted their bodies uneasily, grunted twice with their eyes closed, and Peng Guihua patted them, and they became quiet again.
The man smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, I usually speak loudly, I'm used to it."
He quickly gave the milk powder to his mother, went to see his newborn son, and said to the woman in labor on the bed: "You haven't produced milk yet? Why are you so disappointing!"
Pei Che looked at Ding Guo with a gentle expression: "Let's move to another ward!"
Ding Guo: "Discharge directly from the hospital!"
The doctor just suggested it, not insisting, and also said that the mother was in good health and the two babies were also very healthy, so it was okay to be discharged directly from the hospital. The doctor suggested that they stay one night because the mother had given birth to two children in a row and was afraid that she would have other physical discomforts if she was late.
Dante didn't want to stay in the ward any longer.
Pei Che: "Okay, I'll go back to the compound and drive the car over, and then go home to get you a coat and hat."
I heard that women who have just given birth cannot be exposed to the wind and need to cover themselves tightly.
Pei Che left and Peng Guihua began to pack her things.
The woman in labor on the other bed asked Ding Guo in surprise: "Are you going to be discharged from the hospital today?"
Ding Guo smiled and said, “Yeah!”
The woman in labor smelled the aroma of chicken soup that was still lingering in the ward, then looked at Ding Guo's not-so-weak complexion and said enviously, "You're in great health!"
She gave birth to twins and left right after giving birth, which is quite strong.
Before Pei Che came back to pick her up, Wu Fang came over with eggs, brown sugar, and millet. As soon as she entered the door, she smiled at Peng Guihua: "My dear relatives, congratulations!"
Peng Guihua did not go to the Song family this time, but the two mothers-in-law met when Wu Fang went to see Ding Guo before.
"Congratulations!"
Wu Fang went to see the child and gave Ding Guo a red envelope.
Ding Guo laughed and said, "Aunt Wu, we really don't need it. Besides, you've already bought the things."
"Things are things, and red envelopes are red envelopes, take them!"
Ding Guo had no choice but to thank him and took it, stuffing it into the cross-body bag at the head of the bed along with several other red envelopes.
The other few were given by the old man in the morning, including the ones for my parents-in-law.
Wu Fang asked about the birth process. She knew everything went smoothly, but was also surprised at how smooth it was. She only said, "You are blessed. The two children are also sensible. I feel sorry for their mother."
Afterwards, I chatted with Peng Guihua. When I heard that she would be discharged from the hospital soon, I was surprised and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Peng Guihua whispered, "Guoguo is in good health, and the hospital is not as cheap as home."
Wu Fang nodded: "Yes, after all, home is more comfortable."
Wu Fang didn't rush to leave. She helped carry things when Pei Che came to pick them up.
She didn't need to hold the child, Pei Che took Aunt Qiao over.
She rode her bike and didn't follow their car. She said she would come to see Ding Guo at home when she had time, and then rode away.
Ding Guo was wrapped tightly and carried into the house before the sun set.
When I got home, a neighbor happened to run into me and asked in surprise, "Is it a baby?"
The young wife of this family went in and out every day with a big belly. The neighbors in the alley asked her curiously and found out that she was pregnant with twins. Unexpectedly, she gave birth quietly.
Peng Guihua smiled and nodded: "It was born this morning!"
The baby was born in the morning and was even discharged in the afternoon. The neighbor didn't care about the extreme efficiency and asked hurriedly, "Boy or girl?"
Aunt Qiao smiled and said, "Twins, boy and girl!"
The neighbor exclaimed: "What a great birth! She has a son and a daughter at once!"
While the neighbors were sighing about their own things, Peng Guihua and Aunt Qiao did not linger outside. They quickly said hello and walked in carrying the child.
Another helper, Wang Chunhua, had already arrived. Before Ding Guo came back, she not only re-ignited the stove in the room which had been turned off, but also put an extra layer of mattress on the bed and closed the windows in the room.
Pei Che put the person on the bed and turned to get something from the car.
After Ding Guo settled down, Wang Chunhua asked with a smile: "Are you sweating a lot? Do you want me to boil some wormwood to wipe it for you and change you into some close-fitting clothes?"
The stove is outside and there is a heating pack in the inner room, so the inner room is warm but not choking.
Ding Guo said, "Sorry to bother Sister Chunhua."
“It’s my duty!”
Wang Chunhua went out to do some work, boiled some mugwort water, brought it into the house, threw a towel on Ding Guo's body, and changed into pajamas.
The eldest child started crying. Peng Guihua touched his diaper skillfully and said with a smile, "He peed." Then she looked at the other child and said, "Little one will be ready soon."
I fed them again before being discharged from the hospital, and now they have urinated.
Xiaobao followed her brother's pace closely. When Dabao finished changing his diaper, she made two timely grunts. Peng Guihua couldn't help laughing and went over to clean her up. The little girl mumbled twice and fell asleep again.
Aunt Qiao came in quietly to check on the two kids and said, "They've grown a bit bigger than this morning!"
Peng Guihua: "Really? Can you tell?"
Ding Guo laughed: "This is too fast."
Aunt Qiao said confidently, "You watched all day and couldn't see any changes. I didn't watch next to him, so I could see it better than you."
Ding Guo lowered her head and looked at the two little guys, looking left and right. She also thought about when the two children were just born, with wet hair and red faces... Well, it seems that they were not as relaxed as they are now.
Has it really grown a little bit?
Peng Guihua smiled and said, "It's not surprising. Babies in confinement change every day."
After Aunt Qiao left, Peng Guihua rummaged through the box next to her where she kept her things and took out three red envelopes, one for Ding Guo and two for the children.
Ding Guo didn't want it, Peng Guihua glared at her and said in a low voice: "Don't fight with me, just take it if I give it to you."
Ding Guo took it reluctantly: "You have spent a lot of effort and money. It's a big expense."
"I'm happy to do that!" Peng Guihua said with a smile.
In the evening, Pei Yu and Yu Shaofen arrived one after another.
He saw the child, gave a red envelope, asked about whether the delivery went smoothly, and saw that there was enough people at home to take care of Ding Guo, so he stayed for a while and then went back.
Aunt Zhang also came over, looked at the child, and stuffed a red envelope into Ding Guo's pocket. Ding Guo refused, so Aunt Zhang stuffed it under the mattress and said, "I also gave it to Xiaoyu when she gave birth. I've been in the Pei family for so many years, and they treat me as half a family member. Since you're family, don't be polite to me."
"Thank you, Aunt Zhang!"
Aunt Qiao and Wang Chunhua cooked dinner together, and Ding Guo had a separate meal.
I ate half a chicken at noon and stewed the other half at night. I fried two eggs for Ding Guo and cooked noodles in chicken soup.
Pei Che did not eat with Third Aunt and the others. He came into the house to eat with his wife so that he could take care of her more easily.
Ding Guo discussed the child's name with Pei Che.
She found that the names of the younger generations of the Pei family were very regular. Pei Yu's two children, Zhou Tong and Zhou Dong, both had the character "木" (wood) on the radical.
Pei Zhaolu and Pei Zhaoyang, the children of Pei Che's eldest brother, both have it on their left ears.
Even the three sisters of Pei Che all had the same name with three drops of water on the radical.
“Are there any traditions in your family?”
Pei Che couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's not a tradition. My dad and my brother are both a bit stubborn and like this model."
The names Zhou Tong and Zhou Dong were chosen by my brother-in-law purely to cater to my father-in-law's preference.
Ding Guo found it a little funny, it turned out to be obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Pei Che continued, "Don't worry about that. You can name your child whatever you want. There are no rules."
But because there was this model in the past, Ding Guo, who did not have any obsessive-compulsive disorder in this regard, could not help but follow suit.
"What about the word 'zhao' in Pei Zhaoyang's name? Is it that they just happened to have this word in their lifetime?"
"No, Dabao and Xiaobao's generation has the character 'Shu' in their names. My eldest sister-in-law's surname is Zhao, and when they named their children, they added the homophone of 'Zhao' and chose the character 'Zhao'. We don't have to follow them." Ding Guo thought the character 'Shu' was also good, and thought quickly, saying, "How about calling Dabao Pei Shucan and Xiaobao Pei Shujin?"
She grabbed Pei Che's hand and wrote the two characters 'Can' and 'Jin' on his palm, saying, "Both are next to the character 'Wang', and both characters mean beautiful jade."
It just so happened that the gift the system gave to the two children was also jade, which was perfect.
Pei Che had no objection: "Okay!"
After dinner, Peng Guihua came in to see Ding Guo and learned that the child had been named.
Pei Che had already gone to get a pen and paper and wrote down the names of the two children.
Peng Guihua could read, but she was quite literate. Although the two names looked very complicated to her, she repeated them twice and found that both names were not unpleasant.
Ding Guo smiled and said, "We usually call them 'Dabao' and 'Xiaobao', and we'll use their full names when they go to school."
Wang Chunhua looked at the two babies' new names and said, "They sound nice, but it will be a bit difficult for the children to write their own names in a short period of time when they learn to write."
Ding Guo was not worried. The intelligence pills she had taken before also worked on Dabao and Xiaobao. Although they had not yet shown any talent, Ding Guo was very sure that writing a name would not be a problem.
At night, Peng Guihua was worried about the new parents taking care of the child at night. Although her niece's husband was well behaved and had learned how to change the baby's diapers and burp the baby, she was still worried that the young man would sleep deeply and would not be able to hear any movement of the baby.
So she stayed in the room with Ding Guo and let Pei Che go and rest.
Pei Che slept on the floor in the main room.
As soon as the child started crying at night, Peng Guihua had just turned on the light when Pei Che's voice rang out: "Aunt San, I'm coming in?"
Peng Guihua was somewhat surprised at Pei Che's alertness. She thought her niece-in-law was too excited to sleep because he was a father for the first day. She said, "Come in!"
In order to make it easier to get up at night to take care of her, she slept with her clothes on.
Pei Che lifted the curtain and went in, and Ding Guo finally opened his eyes.
Peng Guihua touched the diaper as if she was familiar with it, and at the same time glanced at the watch on the bedside table and said, "He peed, but it's time to feed him now."
Ding Guo sat up, and Pei Che stepped forward and put a cushion behind her.
Aunt Qiao and Wang Chunhua came over with their clothes on. Peng Guihua whispered, "Xiao Che and I are here. You guys go to sleep. We will need you a lot in the future."
After Guoguo finished her confinement and returned to her hometown, she had to rely on Qiao Aiyun and Wang Chunhua to take care of her.
After changing the baby's diaper, feeding him, burping him, I lay down again to rest, and two hours later I got up again and repeated the cycle.
Fortunately, as long as Dabao and Xiaobao are healthy and well fed, they will not make a fuss and are relatively easy to take care of.
In the morning, Peng Guihua couldn't help but say to Ding Guo, "Is Xiaoche too excited to sleep or is he a light sleeper? He wakes up faster than you."
As long as the child made any movement, Pei Che would appear immediately.
Ding Guo smiled and said, it’s a responsibility!
Pei Che was busy yesterday, so today he personally went to the kitchen to prepare postpartum meals for his wife.
Although he needs to use less oil and salt, and not too many other seasonings, and his cooking skills can only be used to one tenth of his ability, he is still willing to work.
I stewed some pork ribs for Ding Guo at noon and added some soaked mushrooms into the ribs.
Stir-fried spinach, leeks and eggs.
The staple food is rice.
Before dinner started, Song Yuling came over wearing her post office uniform.
She even gave him a red envelope as the child's future aunt. Ding Guo didn't bother to be polite with her. She took it with a smile and said, "I'm the child's aunt. I'm sorry for the expense."
Each child gave ten yuan, which was almost a month's salary.
Song Yuling said with a chuckle, "I will have more children later, and then I will ask my aunt to return them to me."
Peng Guihua just happened to lift the curtain and came in. When she heard these words, she couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.
Song Yuling's future mother-in-law might have heard it, and her face would have turned red.
Song Yuling stayed at home for lunch and left. Peng Guihua said to Ding Guo, "Yuling is a really good kid."
The more I touch you, the more I like it!
Now that we have a baby at home, the clothesline in the yard is filled with diapers, small mattresses soaked in urine, and small clothes.
Ding Guo felt lucky at this time, thanks to the sufficient preparation. He didn't expect that such a tiny child could take up so much.
In the evening of Fengning, Ding Tao returned home and heard the news brought back by Ding Dayong: "Our sister gave birth yesterday morning, twins, a boy and a girl."
Last night Ding Tao asked him to call today to ask about his elder sister's situation, and unexpectedly he actually asked!
"It's really born?" Ding Tao widened her eyes in shock.
The former aunt is not crazy. It turns out that Sister Ding Guo really gave birth to a baby yesterday.
Did Yue Hongmei really guess it just by guessing?
Ding Tao couldn't help but shiver.
Evil, the former aunt is so evil!
