Although Grandma Jiang was forced to take a proper postpartum confinement period of more than 20 days when she gave birth to her youngest son, her health was still not as good as before. Her joints would ache all over when she was exposed to cold wind.
Therefore, she insisted that Qin Shuman take good care of herself during her postpartum period.
As it turned out, the political situation did not improve when Qin Shuman gave birth to Gu Qizheng.
Fortunately, Qin Shuman's work was different from that of her research institute, so she didn't have to move around to different remote areas for research, and she managed to have a peaceful postpartum period.
However, because Qin Shuman gave birth to Gu Qizheng in winter, and the conditions were not as good as they are now, she had to go to the dry toilet outside. The windows were not closed tightly, and the cold wind blew into the house, which could easily cause her to develop illnesses.
Qin Shuman still suffers from heel pain, which she developed after catching a chill during her postpartum period.
Having learned from the experiences of two generations, Grandma Jiang vowed to make sure Lin Han had a proper postpartum period.
To ensure she doesn't develop any health problems later in life.
It is said that a well-managed postpartum period not only prevents the development of health problems but can even improve one's constitution and cure previous ailments.
She only has one obedient granddaughter-in-law, so of course she can't bear to see her suffer.
Grandma Jiang asked someone for a foot bath prescription. When she had time, she would personally go and buy the herbs according to the prescription, sew them into a small bag with gauze, put the herbs in the bag, and boil a bag for her granddaughter-in-law to use for washing her body and soaking her feet every day.
We'll have to find someone to come to our house and modify a chimney duct in the second-floor room.
Although it was warm when Lin Han gave birth, both the new mother and the baby needed boiled water for washing.
There was no way to set up a stove to boil water on the second floor, and it wasn't safe to carry the water up from the first floor every time. So they simply built a chimney and set up a stove next to Lin Han's bedroom to make it convenient for Lin Han and the children to boil water.
Although Lin Han felt it was unnecessary after hearing this, since there was hot water in the bathroom on the second floor.
But Grandma Jiang insisted that the hot water for bathing was different from boiled and cooled water.
The new mother has wounds, and unboiled water contains bacteria and cannot be used directly.
Children have low immunity, so it's best to use boiled water for washing them.
"It's no trouble at all, don't worry about it. I'll have someone take care of it another day."
Since Grandma Jiang had said so, Lin Han naturally had no reason to refuse.
However, she felt that Grandma Jiang was a highly educated person and should know a lot, so it actually sounded quite scientific.
"Okay, then I'll do as Grandma says."
Grandma Jiang then thought about finding some soft old fabric to make clothes and diapers for the child.
Just now, when Qin Shuman came home from get off work, she heard the grandmother and grandson discussing making baby clothes for the child in the kitchen.
"Mom, don't worry about this. I've already found someone."
My colleague in the office has a child who is a little over one year old. She can bring home some of her baby clothes, wash them, and put them on her baby.
We won't use other people's diapers; I'll gather some old bed sheets from home, wash them, and cut them up for the baby.
After saying that, fearing that Lin Han would mind, he explained.
"Hanhan, it's not that Mommy is reluctant to buy new clothes for the baby. The elders say that it's better for newborns to wear other people's old clothes. It's best to find clothes from healthy children who are chubby and don't get sick often, so that they can get some good luck."
"And old clothes have been washed many times, so they're quite soft."
Lin Han didn't mind these things; she knew that her mother and grandmother genuinely cared for her and the baby.
We will absolutely not neglect our baby in these aspects.
They have their reasons for doing so.
Qin Shuman glanced at Lin Han and then changed her mind, saying, "If you think new clothes are better, then we'll prepare new clothes. What the elders say isn't necessarily right."
Lin Han thought Qin Shuman was really cute. She was just thinking about something and didn't mean to refute her.
As a result, she couldn't help but contradict herself.
