Hospital resources were scarce, and even with He Xiasheng's help and greeting, He Ruixue could only stay in the hospital for one day. The next day, she was sent home in a modified car.
Jiang Yanxu was worried and calculated the child's birth date and time immediately.
The result made him feel relieved. Her fate was not affected by him, and she was not targeted by something and thus brought bad luck.
Her situation is more similar to He Ruixue's. The past and the future seem to be shrouded in fog. It is impossible to predict her fate or impose cause and effect.
After discussion, they decided to name their child He Xiaoxu.
That’s right, although the fourth generation of the He family has already had two children born, her generation is surprisingly old, the Xiao generation.
Like He Ruixue, there will be two more nephews and nieces older than her in the future.
The last name is He Ruixue, and the first name is the same pronunciation as the last character of Jiang Yanxu.
I just hope that she can bathe in the warm spring breeze in the future and not experience too much severe cold or heat.
She got pregnant in winter and gave birth in July, which is the hottest time of the year.
So He Ruixue was not comfortable during her confinement period, and the refrigerator that came in the gift package came in handy.
The air conditioner cannot be used because it is almost exclusive to the middle class and cannot be powered by household voltage.
However, refrigerators are used by many supply and marketing cooperatives to freeze popsicles. They are not rare and can be considered as a necessity of life. It would not seem too unusual to take them out.
She had taken the refrigerator out of the storage compartment when she was on a business trip before, and asked a friend in the neighboring city to look after it. She then contacted the driver of the transport team to deliver it a few days later.
When the refrigerator was installed in the main room, it attracted many people from the surrounding area to come and watch.
After experiencing its effects, people were naturally amazed. What everyone was most concerned about was how much this big thing cost. After hearing the price, they accused her of being a spendthrift and not spending money wisely.
When they heard that Jiang Yanxu paid for the refrigerator, they turned around and said he was stupid for buying such a big item for his wife's family. Some people even envied him for earning so much and being able to save so much money.
Jiang Yanxu just smiled and pretended to be used to living off his wife. He deliberately said that his food and accommodation were usually provided by his wife, and he had little money to spend, so he had to make some contribution.
Some people sneered, some were secretly envious, and some even wanted to take advantage and borrow it a few times, but were blocked by Zhao Meiya.
I have to say that having a refrigerator is very beneficial. Last year's cured meat and fish, which I usually didn't want to finish cooking, finally don't have to wait until they start to smell before eating them.
Occasionally, you can use sugar water and malted milk to freeze sweet homemade popsicles, which are no worse than those sold outside.
He Xiaoai would take one and lick it from time to time, so she was the most envied child in the entire class and even in the surrounding area.
Wang Taozhi is stingy and doesn't want to spend money on electricity. In addition, the voltage is unstable, so she only runs the power bank for two hours a day.
The rest of the time, I wrapped the refrigerator with a thick quilt and used the remaining frost inside to keep it warm.
During He Ruixue's confinement period, the refrigerator was opened more frequently, specifically to freeze ice cubes.
Jiang Yanxu found an antique ice jar from somewhere, placed it in the corner of the room, and then directed the fan towards the ice jar to circulate cold and hot air in the room.
Zhao Meiya was worried that she would suffer from postpartum illness and could not accept this trendy way of confinement. However, He Xiasheng said that as long as it didn't blow towards people, it would be fine, and she could open the windows for ventilation in the morning and evening.
Even with the endorsement of professionals, she still stubbornly sticks to the older generation's confinement process.
"That's how your sister-in-law and I got through it. We had four children without any problems. How could we not know if it was useful or not?"
But one thing overcomes another. Even if Zhao Meiya disagrees in a thousand ways, He Ruixue will just act coquettishly or complain to her.
Zhao Meiya suddenly didn't care about anything else. As long as no one asked for a hairdryer or bath, she would usually turn a blind eye.
The validity period of the [Sharing Joys and Sorrows] card is one year, and He Ruixue used it one month after she found out she was pregnant.
In other words, Jiang Yanxu would also share her discomfort during the confinement period, so they could see it through to the end.
Right after giving birth, she used the [Cure All Diseases] card and recovered to the same level as an average person within three days. However, not bathing and being unable to move for a long time made her head and body itchy.
Jiang Yanxu felt the same way as him. He had no obsessive-compulsive disorder and could take three baths a day.
What was even worse was the lactation process, which was so painful that He Ruixue was gasping for breath in the room. He stood at the door, holding his chest and looking at the child in his arms with a terrified face.
During the confinement period, apart from breastfeeding, Jiang Yanxu took care of He Xiaoxu most of the time.
The tiny baby, who was not even as long as his arm, looked particularly petite in his arms. Now he was proficient in changing her diaper and coaxing her to sleep.
If the child wakes up in the middle of the night, he will quickly take out the expressed milk from the refrigerator, put it in the kettle to heat it, squeeze the glass bottle, and then give her the pacifier.
The whole process should not take more than ten minutes, ensuring that she won't cry because of waiting too impatiently.
In just half a month, he has grown into a qualified dad.
It was not his turn to wash diapers. Zhao Meiya disliked that he would use too much force and easily damage the soft cloth used by He Ruixue. She always did it herself, and occasionally gave it to He Xiaojie when she was busy.
As for making postpartum meals, it was naturally handed over to He Qiu Sheng, who cooked hen, crucian carp and pig's trotters for her in different ways.
He referred to the Cantonese cooking recipes in books and also consulted the chefs of state-owned hotels, trying to make the bland confinement meals fresh and sweet, highlighting the original flavors of the ingredients.
He Xiasheng stayed at home for five days. After confirming that He Ruixue had fully recovered, he ran to book a ticket. The next day, he went to the post office to call Qiao Rui, and his whole body showed that he was eager to go home.
