Gu Qinghuan asked about some precautions and when he could go home.

The doctor said that although she was born prematurely, she was delivered on time and did not suffer much during the delivery. She would be given a few bottles of fluids and could be taken home tomorrow morning to be raised.

However, the weather is still hot now, so you should pay attention to ventilation of the wound and don't cover it. After ten days or half a month, you can scrub it with mugwort water.

When Gu Qinghuan returned to the ward, Yan Lijun had already woken up, and under the guidance of Lin Xiaomeng, she held the baby and started breastfeeding.

Xu Huai also paid the fee and came back, muttering that it would be better to listen to his mother and find a midwife in the village. It is so expensive to give birth to a child in the hospital.

It wasn't expensive, but it was certainly more expensive than hiring a midwife, he kept grumbling.

Xu Huaizhi dragged him out and gave him a lesson.

Gu Qinghuan wanted to say something to comfort Yan Lijun, but seeing that she didn't care at all, he stopped talking.

Yan Lijun was completely devoted to her son and didn't even give Xu Huai an extra glance. He didn't deserve it.

She and her child had finally made it through this gate of hell. From now on, she would never pin her hopes on others again.

Xu Huai said that if he wanted to leave, he could leave, and she could support the child on her own.

People always say that a mother is strong, but she doesn't know where she gets the courage and faith from.

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when we finished cleaning up.

Gu Qinghuan told Xu Huai about the precautions for caring for pregnant women, regardless of whether he could listen or not, because it was his duty.

Xu Huai was arranged to stay and look after Yan Lijun and the child, and the cart was also left behind. Xu Huai would take Yan Lijun and return the child home tomorrow.

Xu Huaizhi took Lin Xiaomeng and Gu Qinghuan, two sisters-in-law, back home.

The commune hospital was small to begin with and could not accommodate so many of them overnight. Moreover, they had children at home, so they had to go back.

Gu Qinghuan was absent-minded the whole time and even stepped on a stone and fell flat on his face. Fortunately, it was late and no one saw it, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.

Lin Xiaomeng saw that she was worried, so she asked tentatively, "What's wrong with you? Are you thinking about the third brother's family?"

"Yes and no." Gu Qinghuan answered ambiguously.

"Sister-in-law, did you have urinary incontinence and uterine prolapse after giving birth to Dacheng?"

Lin Xiaomeng immediately understood why she had been so distracted.

"Of course I did. The Xu family is not a good family. After I gave birth to Dacheng, he came back to take care of me for a few days. Those days were fine.

As soon as he left, his mother forced me to get up and cook, as if the Xu family had refused to eat before I got married.

Not only did I have urine leakage, but my back and waist ached from holding the baby all night long, and my hair fell out in clumps. I almost thought I was going bald, but luckily it grew back.

When you first become a mother, you don’t know anything, and your mother-in-law won’t tell you. You have to figure everything out on your own. She has suffered a lot herself, so she’ll make you suffer ten times as much.

I have good breast milk, so my baby ate less when he was just born, so the milk was naturally saved.

At that time, I had no idea that I had to squeeze out the excess milk and just let it stay inside. After a night's sleep, when I woke up, my breasts swelled up like rocks, all the way to my armpits, forming a huge bulge that I couldn't move even with pressure.

The child is hungry and can't suck anything out.

I asked other women in the village who had given birth, and they said that this was a sign of increased milk production, and that I had to massage the breasts quickly to soften them and squeeze out the excess milk, otherwise my breasts would become inflamed, swollen, and purulent.

It was so painful to knead my breasts. I can still remember how painful it was. I was kneading them hard while tears were streaming down my face. The pain was almost like giving birth.

After giving birth, my qi and blood are depleted, and I feel weak all over. If I’m not careful, I’ll be covered in sweat.

It seems that everything is the same as before, but only you know that it is completely different. "

When Lin Xiaomeng was talking, Xu Huaizhi also listened with his ears erect. Knowing that his wife had suffered so much, he showed a slightly flattering look.

At that time, he was still young and devoted to work, so he did not understand that it was not easy for Lin Xiaomeng to be alone at home.

Of course, I trusted my mother too much. I didn't expect her to torture her daughter-in-law like this.

Fortunately, everything is getting better now.

Gu Qinghuan looked horrified.

"Is it so terrible? Then why do so many people have children?" And many in their lifetime.

Isn't this treating your own life as if it were not your own?

"Do women have the right to choose here? Everyone thinks having many children is a blessing, and they want to carry on the family line and raise children to take care of them in their old age.

But I have never thought about how much pain a person has to endure in giving birth to a life.

But I don’t regret giving birth to my son Dacheng. One day when you give birth to a child, you will know this feeling.

One comes from you, but has no life at all like you. You take care of him and he grows up. Because of him, you become braver and stronger, completing the transformation from girl to mother.

When I was a girl, I would cry over the smallest things, but after becoming a mother, I feel like I can do anything.”

Gu Qinghuan understood, but not completely.

Just like Yan Lijun who just gave birth, when she got married a few months ago, she was still a somewhat green girl.

But now I can be so strong for my children.

My performance today impressed them.

A mother is strong. The process of becoming a mother from a girl is bound to be difficult, but it is also mixed with happiness.

Gu Qinghuan still couldn't understand it, but she thought that if one day she could have a child with Xu Huaian, she would be very happy.

The matter of Yan Lijun has come to an end, and this is the extent of their help.

Yesterday, I intervened because my life was at stake.

After all, this is someone else's family affair. They can help her temporarily, but not forever. She has to walk the rest of the way by herself.

No one in this world has the obligation to help anyone else, it all depends on your own conscience.

The next day, Xu Huai pushed Yan Lijun and her son back, and happily told everyone that he had a son.

Although the newborn was a little thin, it was a boy after all. Xu Mingxiao and Liu Guifang were very happy and their attitude towards the mother and son was obviously much better.

He just kept mumbling that his child was too thin.

"You said I was lazy and greedy for just two kilograms of rice and flour. How can I gain weight? I can talk while standing without any back pain." Yan Lijun said directly.

She was no longer afraid of Liu Guifang. At worst, both sides would be destroyed. On the contrary, she was pregnant now, so who could be afraid of her?

Liu Guifang, for the sake of her grandson, didn't say anything and went to cook red eggs happily. She had already prepared eggs for Xu Meiling at home, but there were only a few.

She even went to the village to buy some eggs. It was a great joy to have a new baby in the family.

The child was too weak, so his grandfather Xu Mingxiao named him Xu Jian.

Yan Lijun also hoped that her child would be healthy and safe, so she did not object to this name.

She also gave the child a nickname, Zhuangzhuang.

Liu Guifang asked Xu Huai to take the red eggs to her father-in-law's house to announce the good news. Only then did the Yan family know that their daughter had given birth.

Yan Lijun had basically not interacted with her family for the past six months. She felt uncomfortable, and she had little time to travel back and forth. When her sister-in-law gave birth to a boy, she did not go to see him for fear of upsetting her.

This time when she gave birth, she thought no one from the Yan family would come, but unexpectedly, the whole family came, even her daughter-in-law came with the baby.

There were many gifts, and Yan's mother even bought pigeons to make soup for her daughter.

The attitude is impeccable.

They came this time to take this opportunity to repair their relationship. They had finally raised a young lady, and it was impossible for them to live with her like enemies for the rest of their lives.

Liu Guifang would definitely not push away the gift for the guest, at least she received the guest.

Although the nose is not a nose and the eyes are not eyes, the Yan family has to take responsibility and can only put up with it.

When Yan's mother saw that her daughter was so thin that she was just a bag of bones, and her little grandson was also skinny and bony, tears flowed down her face and she kept shouting, "My daughter, you have suffered a lot."

In the past, Yan Lijun might have been moved, but now that she has become a mother, she realizes that her mother did not love her, or did not love her very much.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have pushed her into doing this just to get the dowry for his eldest brother.

Before she passed away, Yan's mother repeatedly told Liu Guifang to bring the nutritional supplements she brought to Yan Lijun.

Liu Guifang stewed the pigeons that night, and Yan Lijun only got a bowl of watery soup. The pot was empty, and Liu Guifang brought the soup and meat to Xu Meiling.

I also took a bag of maltose sent by the Yan family.

Yan Lijun got up to serve the meat, but the pot was cleaner than her face, and she was so angry that she wanted to chop someone.

Liu Guifang even said that she couldn't finish it all by herself, so she gave some leftovers to Xu Meiling.

He also said that Xu Meiling didn't have much milk and the child was crying because he was hungry, so he brought malted milk over as well.

Yan Lijun was so angry that she almost had a fight with Liu Guifang. She asked Xu Huai to get the malted milk back, otherwise she would take the child back to her parents' home.

She doesn't have much milk now, and the baby is so weak, so she has to use maltose later.

Liu Guifang refused to give in and asked why there were two bags at home and one could not be given to Xu Meiling.

Yan Lijun asked her directly if she could give her half of the money in her pocket, but Liu Guifang remained silent.

Xu Huai was very selfish and naturally put his son first, so he immediately went to Xu Meiling's house to get the malted milk back.

In short, this family has been plagued by problems of all sizes.
