Chapter 76
The baby from the Gu family
made a very loud sound when he started to make noises. When babies from other families were born, the nurse would put them in a basin to bathe them, and they would start to cry loudly after a few seconds, or they would just cry loudly when their butts were patted.
The baby from the Gu family was different. He was wrapped in a small swaddle, and whether he was being bathed or examined, he would frown, close his eyes, purse his lips, and cup his hands without making a sound. He was very quiet.
The nurse was very surprised, and fearing that something was wrong with the child, she quickly slapped the baby's butt a few times.
The baby from the Gu family might have been hurt by the slapping, and his eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, and he started to howl "wa wa" as if he was angry.
"Crying, crying."
The two nurses in the delivery room breathed a sigh of relief, skillfully rinsed the little boy's butt, and put it on the scale.
"Six pounds and seven ounces!"
"Oh, this is the heaviest baby born in our hospital this year."
Since the disaster last year, the county has been short of supplies. Many pregnant women have not eaten or drunk well, and their stomachs cannot get enough nutrition. The babies they gave birth to are all thin and small, weighing only four or five pounds. In later generations, a baby weighing four or five pounds would be considered malnourished, and eight or nine pounds would be considered overweight, but at this time it is commonplace. The six pounds and seven ounces of the Gu family's baby became the "fat boy" in the eyes of the nurse.
The young nurse washed the baby's butt, wrapped him in the swaddle again, and followed the procedure to bring him over to show the new mother on the bed.
"Congratulations, a 6.7kg fat boy, look at our little bird."
Lin Yao was exhausted from giving birth to a baby, and now she was so tired that she didn't even want to move her fingers. She forced herself to open her eyes and took a dazed look. Hey, it was a red little monkey. She uttered two words and fell asleep from exhaustion.
"How ugly."
The nurse didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and carried the baby who was rejected by its mother out of the delivery room.
The old Gu family had been waiting outside, and when they saw the nurse carrying the baby out, they quickly surrounded her.
"Weighing 6.7 jin, it's a fat boy."
"Okay, okay, nurse, where's my Yaoyao? Why is there no sound?"
"Nothing's wrong, she's sleeping in bed."
Zhang Cuilan was worried to death outside. When she heard the nurse say that Lin Yao had fallen asleep in the delivery room, she breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed her mind and body, and smiled with her mouth wide open while holding the newborn baby.
Gu Mancang was standing by with greedy eyes, rubbing his big hands constantly, and also wanted to hug the fat boy.
Gu Shidong, a little dwarf, was jumping around on the side.
"Mom, show me my little nephew, show me my little nephew."
Zhang Cuilan smiled and bent down to show the little swaddle to her old son.
Dongzi, the naughty boy, even wanted to poke the baby's chubby face with his claws, but his mother slapped him mercilessly.
"What are you doing with your claws? Stay aside."
Comrade Cuilan shooed the old son away and turned to ask the eldest son to hold the baby. Unexpectedly, Deputy Director Gu had already gone to the house to accompany his wife.
The baby's father didn't want to hold him.
Gu Mancang and the old son were fighting for the baby, but unfortunately Comrade Cuilan refused to hold either of them.
Just kidding, these two grandfathers, one is clumsy and the other jumps up and down, and they don't feel at ease with either of them holding the baby.
"......."
Lin Yao gave birth to a baby smoothly, but like most new mothers who had just given birth, her long wet hair stuck to her cheeks, her once charming eyes were red like walnuts, she cried wetly, because she was crying in pain, her whole body was a mess, and she was sleeping soundly and tiredly, which was really heartbreaking to watch. Gu
Shian wiped the little girl clean with gentle movements and tucked her in, as if he was guarding a treasure in his heart that had been lost and found again, and he stayed with her quietly for most of the night.
It rained all night that night, and it didn't stop until dawn.
The nurse took the Gu family's baby to the nursery to sleep, and the old couple Zhang Cuilan waited in the hospital until midnight, wanting to talk to their daughter-in-law when she woke up.
People can't stand it anymore when they are old. Lin Yao can sleep for more than ten hours at a time. Gu Shi'an persuaded his parents to go back and took the lively Gu Shidong home.
In the early morning after the rain, the road was filled with the scent of soil and grass, and magpies chirped happily on the branches.
Lin Yao was sleeping soundly, and the nurse held the baby next to his mother.
Gu Shi'an patted the baby gently with his big hands. The baby was still clasping his hands and sleeping with his eyes closed at first. However, the baby was quiet for a while, and maybe he was hungry, so he started to howl.
Lin Yao was woken up by her own baby in this way. She opened her eyes and saw that Deputy Director Gu, the new father, was busy coaxing the child.
The nurse in the corridor quickly ran in, checked the crying kid on the bed, held him and rocked him, and said with a smile, "He's hungry, he wants to drink his mother's milk."
Drink milk?
Lin Yao was too timid to feed the baby in front of the nurse, not to mention that someone was still here.
Deputy Director Gu's ears also turned red.
Although this nurse was not very old, she had been working in the health hospital for several years. She said, "Hi, what's the big deal? The family members go out first, I'll go get a basin of water." When
a new mother feeds her child for the first time, she always gets a basin of hot water, puts a towel on her chest, and rubs it. First, it's hygienic, and second, it's convenient for the baby to suck breast milk.
Deputy Director Gu coughed, took a few steps with his long legs, and went out.
Lin Yao picked up her little cub. When the little guy smelled the milk, he eagerly nudged into her arms, kicking his chubby legs. He finally got some food.
Lin Yao thought her little cub was ugly before, but now she loved him more and more when she held him in her arms.
The chubby boy she had carried for ten months was just so cute!
*
Lin Yao had a good physical condition and was young. She was able to walk the next day after giving birth to her cub.
Zhang Cuilan prepared delicious food for her daughter-in-law every day. She knew that her daughter-in-law had a light taste, so the food she brought was light and delicious. Even the soup she cooked was nourishing and refreshing. It was either white porridge, millet porridge with boiled eggs, or crucian carp soup. Lin Yao's skin became smooth and her face was round and shiny.
When the mother eats well, the baby at home will have nutritious milk.
In just a few days, the little monkey that was originally red has grown up. It has a round, white and tender face, the same eyebrows and eyes as its father, fat arms and legs, and is a replica of Deputy Director Gu.
Xu Xiangqian and his family came to the hospital to visit.
Gu Chunmei came with her own Tangyuan child and couldn't stop praising the little boy when she saw him.
"My eldest nephew, these two bright eyes are really beautiful. I don't know how many girls he will charm in the future."
Xu's mother also laughed, "That's right, our boy is handsome like his parents. He has the same nose as Mancang. In the alleys around us, we have never seen such a handsome fat boy. He will have no trouble finding a wife in the future."
Zhang Cuilan smiled like a chrysanthemum.
Gu Mancang also puffed out his chest and looked proud.
Father Xu saw this and felt a little sour. What? His son Tang Yuan was also a handsome boy, but he didn't inherit his father's genes.
-- Father Xu and Gu Mancang were both born with big black faces. Gu Mancang had a good nose, and he would be proud if his grandson inherited his appearance.
In the evening, Zhang Cuilan took out half of the old hen that had been dried up at home, chopped it into pieces and cooked a pot of chicken and rice porridge for her daughter-in-law. Gu Shian carefully scooped a spoonful with a spoon and blew away the heat before feeding her.
Chickens these days are raised by eating insects. The porridge is tender and fragrant, and full of rice aroma.
Lin Yao had a big appetite and ate a big bowl.
The rest was given to Dongzi.
Three days after the birth of the Gu family's baby, Lin Yao was finally able to leave the hospital.
Deputy Director Gu also named his son because the baby would sleep with his hands in his folds and his eyebrows wrinkled every day.
The old father simply gave the little fat boy a nickname, Gu Doudou, nicknamed Doubao. According to the old rules, Liu gave the grandfather the full name Gu Mancangqi. The old man was so excited that his face turned red and his neck
became thick. He went home overnight to look up ancient relics in the dictionary, and he was determined to give his grandson a good name. It had been drizzling outside for the past few days, and the family deliberately chose a cool evening to leave the hospital and go home. Because Lin Yao was still in confinement and could not be exposed to the wind, Gu Shian asked the old director for permission and drove the jeep in the bureau to pick up his wife and son home. The July evening was not as hot as the daytime, and the breeze was very comfortable. The jeep drove on the road and stopped at the entrance of the big courtyard alley in a few minutes. In front of the Gu family's house, pomegranates and crabapples were in full bloom. After a heavy rain, the rain hit the banana leaves and the flowers fell all over the ground. As the major factories in Yunshui County started work, the neighbors who had returned to their hometowns for refuge returned to the city one after another. The door of Wang Shengcai's house in the front yard was opened, but no one was seen. I don't know if they went out, or if only Wang Shengcai came back early to clean up the house. The east room was tidy, the sheets and quilts on the bed were washed, cleaned and dried, the doors and windows of the house were tightly closed, and Gu Mancang even sewed gauze on the windows to act as screens. The summer nights were really hot and stuffy, and Lin Yao felt stuffy in the house during her confinement period, so she could open the screens a little to get some fresh air. As soon as Lin Yao got home, she felt very comfortable. It is said that a nest of gold or silver is not as good as one's own doghouse. This really touched her heart. She was not free in the hospital. Doctors and nurses came in and out, and they wanted to check and check the beds. It was not as free as at home, where she could do whatever she wanted. Deputy Director Gu carried Doudou into the room. Lin Yao lay lazily on the bed, not wanting to move. She instructed Gu Shian to put the fat boy in the cradle. The cradle was made by Gu Mancang for his grandson. He specially selected old elm wood and painted it with tung oil several times. It was bright and clear. It was exposed to the sun for half a month and then placed in the yard for ventilation to ensure the safety of the fat boy. Doudou Gu was wearing a red cotton bellyband, waving his arms and sucking his fingers in his father's arms. In the past few days, Lin Yao, the mother, was passively slacking off and enjoying the confinement. Gu Doudou's eating, drinking, defecating and urinating were all taken care of by his old father, and the relationship between the father and son has made great progress. Gu Shian coaxed the little fat boy to sleep before gently putting him in the cradle. The fat son slept with his fist raised like a little frog. Lin Yao looked down at the fat son and loved him more and more. She couldn't help but kiss the little guy on the face, then yawned and rolled onto the bed to catch up on sleep. Mom said that women should eat well and sleep well during confinement. Deputy Director Gu was washing the fat son's diapers in the yard. This kid can eat and poop. He is so young, but he can poop so much golden poop in a day. The smell was so bad that even Lin Yao, the mother, couldn't stand it. Dongzi came over to visit his nephew and happened to see Gu Doudou pooping in the house. The smell was so bad that it scared Gu Shidong away. The stinky boy pinched his nose and complained to Zhang Cuilan, "What does Doudou eat? Why is your poop so smelly?" Zhang Cuilan was annoyed and slapped her old son on the head, scolding, "What's so smelly? You stinky boy, your poop is even stinkier when you were born! Not as good as me, Doudou. What's the matter? Your mother didn't abandon you and raised you up anyway." Gu Shidong chuckled twice and ran back to the house to see his nephew. Big Orange is very curious about the new kid in the house. He would walk around the cradle with his tail wagging from time to time, and he is very protective of the kid. If someone he doesn't like comes to see the kid, he will jump over without hesitation and give him a slap on the face. Now only the old Gu family and Wang Shengcai's family in the front yard have returned to the big compound. I haven't seen them for more than half a year, and Wang Shengcai's family has changed a lot. Old Mrs. Wang is as thin as a date kernel, with high cheekbones and not a pound of meat on her body. Her hands are as dry as tree bark, and she looks like an old witch. Even so, Old Mrs. Wang is still full of energy and shouts at home, saying that the old Gu family's infertile daughter-in-law has given birth to a fat boy. Old lady Wang felt unbalanced, and she came to Gu's house on her little feet. The hen that didn't lay eggs suddenly laid eggs, so she had to go and take a look. It didn't matter. Old lady Wang looked at the chubby little Gu Doudou in the cradle, and her heart became even more unbalanced. Damn it, why is God so blind. The little boy of the Gu family was raised to be fat and white, while her two grandchildren were as thin as refugees. What's the matter? What's wrong with the little boy of the Gu family? While Zhang Cuilan went to the kitchen to fill the water, Old lady Wang took advantage of the time when Lin Yao fell asleep from taking care of the little fat boy. She became angry and stretched out her old claws to strangle the little boy of the Gu family.
The big orange cat suddenly jumped out and slapped old lady Wang hard with its paw.
Old lady Wang screamed and ran away, covering her hand.
Lin Yao woke up in a second, turned her head and saw her fat son pouting in the cradle, about to cry. She quickly got out of bed and hugged Gu Doudou to comfort him. Zhang Cuilan also ran in with a broom.
"What's wrong? Why is my Doudou crying?"
Lin Yao looked at the big orange cat squatting on the head of the bed licking its paws, "Mom, who was in the house just now?
" "Who else could it be? It was old lady Wang in the front yard. She came home and said she wanted to see our Doudou. I thought we were neighbors living in the front and back yards, and it would be difficult to stop her. I wanted her to take a look and leave. Who knew that the water in the kitchen was boiled, so I went to fill it with water. Where is old lady Wang? Why is she gone?" "
Lin Yao seemed to be thinking about something, "Mom, Doudou is not even a month old yet, and his resistance is weak, so don't let him see outsiders for now."
Zhang Cuilan also regretted it a lot, "That's right, Doudou is so young, what if he gets sick from outsiders, how can I live?"
Lin Yao comforted her mother-in-law, and little Gu Doudou smiled at his grandmother again, which made Comrade Cuilan smile again.
In the evening, Gu Shian was on night shift. Lin Yao fed the fat son, coaxed the little guy to sleep, and fell asleep leaning on the bed.
She was wearing casual pajamas, revealing her slender white neck, with a few restless strands of hair hanging down, and her face was still flushed from sleeping. The whole person was like a As charming as peach blossoms after the rain.
When Deputy Director Gu came back from work and saw this scene, he wanted to steal a kiss on his wife's face.
The fat boy in the cradle had a serious face, and his two fat legs suddenly exerted force, and he yelled at his father twice.
Ah, I have pooped, come and clean it up!
A foul smell spread in the room, which woke Lin Yao up directly.
