"Then just feed her colostrum, and then feed her with formula." Yan Rushan made the decision, which would also allow his wife to recover as soon as possible.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded, "That's about right."
Old Master Yan: “…” Both the husband and wife are unreliable, so he should spend more time taking care of his great-grandson.
The couple who were labeled as unreliable ate with relish, and Zhong Yuxiu's depression over not being able to eat oysters was somewhat relieved; after the meal, Yuxiu ate some fruits, and her mood finally improved.
"Grandpa, please wash up and take a nap. You have to work in the afternoon, so you need to be well rested."
"Got it." Old Master Yan waved his hand and went to the bathroom to wash up. Then he returned to his room and took out the milk powder coupons and handed them to Yan Rushan. "Go buy milk powder early. You're planning to stop breastfeeding Yuxiu, so you need more milk powder. As for my three great-grandchildren, I'll find a way to get some milk powder coupons back."
After giving his eldest grandson instructions, Grandpa Yan returned to his room and lay on his bed, still calculating: how much milk powder would his three great-grandchildren eat in a month? How many milk powder coupons would he need? People say having many children is a blessing, and a prosperous family. Others say children are debt collectors. Look, he's already calculating how much to prepare for them before he even opens his mouth.
The saying about debt collection is absolutely correct.
However, the old man was happy, and he was also happy that everyone came to collect the debt; his family was not large, he only had one son and two grandsons, and Yuxiu gave him three great-grandchildren at once, and the old man was very happy.
Zhong Yuxiu pulled out a milk powder ticket and examined it. On the left, it said "No replacement if lost, void after expiration." On the right, it said "No sale allowed, but gift allowed." In the middle was the word "milk powder," with the title "Shangjing City Commercial Bureau" written on it. At the bottom was the month, October, and a red seal stamped in the center.
It is now the end of September and will expire at the end of October.
"If I don't use it in October, it will expire. I still have to buy it back."
"No rush, we can just change it in mid-October. Milk powder has an expiration date, and if we delay the change by half a month, we can get an extra half a month." He counted and tapped the total to get a rough idea. "Sixteen coupons in total, enough to buy sixteen cans of milk powder. We have three children, and if we budget for one can to last a month, sixteen cans will only last about five months, and we also need to make sure they grow older and eat more. We also need to exchange some milk powder for when they're seven or eight months old and start solid food, so we can reduce the amount of milk powder by half."
Milk powder is a precious commodity that is in short supply nowadays and is basically sold out as soon as it is released on the market. He also has to greet his acquaintances in department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives and have them reserve some for him when the milk powder arrives in mid-October.
"It will only last for five months, so there's no need to rush. We can exchange the milk powder coupons after we finish eating." It's still unknown whether there will be any material restrictions after five months, so there's no need to rush now. Yan Rushan still has his previous connections, so even if there are restrictions, he can still exchange them for a few milk powder coupons.
Yan Rushan nodded, "I thought so too. We are of the same mind, my dear wife. We are so in tune with each other."
"Who has the same mindset as you? Come and help me go to the bathroom to wash up. I'm a little sleepy."
"Okay, my dear wife." He stuffed the milk powder coupons into his pocket and helped her to the bathroom. After helping her wash up, he also washed up briefly, then helped her upstairs and lay down. He squeezed in beside her, covered her with the quilt, and coaxed her to sleep. "Go to sleep, and let Goudan make you steamed fish for dinner."
Fish is good for both the baby and the mother.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded, closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.
Yan Rushan lowered his eyes to look at his wife in his arms, kissed her forehead contentedly, and slowly fell asleep.
After waking up, Yan Rushan was full of energy, but Zhong Yuxiu was too weak to move. "Yuxiu, get up and let's go downstairs to drink some water. It's time for you to drink some water."
If pregnant women do not drink enough water every day, they may feel dizzy, have headaches, and even become dehydrated in severe cases.
"I don't want to get up." The voice was soft and hoarse, as if she was acting coquettishly.
Yan Rushan leaned over, picked her up and sat her up, then put on her coat. "Let's drink some water and then sleep for a while. Sleep on the sofa downstairs, I'll keep you company." If he didn't need her to move around more, he wouldn't have wanted to wake her up. Looking at her pitiful appearance, it made him feel distressed and pity.
"My dear wife, let's drink some water before we go to sleep, okay?"
Zhong Yuxiu narrowed her eyes and stretched out her hand, "Pull me."
"Okay." Yi Yan pulled her up, carefully escorted her to the bed, and put clothes on her. "Okay, come, lean on me."
Zhong Yuxiu went along with it, moved closer to his arms, and was helped out by him, going downstairs to the hall.
Gu Lingguo, Fang Guozhong, Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi were all in the hall, some reading books, some reading newspapers. When they heard footsteps, they all looked up.
"Comrade Zhong, Comrade Yan, you are awake." Gu Lingguo put down the newspaper in his hand and stood up.
Yan Rushan nodded. "Get up, Aunt Wang, Aunt Gong, please bring a cup of hot water over. Cut up a plate of fruit and have Goudan make some juice for us."
"Okay." Wang Daya was reading a leisure book, similar to the comic books that children read; she put down the book and went to the kitchen with Gong Zhaodi.
Gu Lingguo asked, "Comrade Yan, is there anything I can do?"
"It's okay, just read your newspaper and don't worry about us." Yan Rushan waved his hand and helped the person sit on the sofa.
Zhong Yuxiu sighed, holding her belly and touching it. Her belly felt heavy and so big that she couldn't see the way forward. She relied on Yan Rushan to go up and down the stairs. It was not easy for her, and it was not easy for Yan Rushan either. However, when she was alone, she would use her mental power to explore the way.
"I also want to eat oysters, do you have any?"
"You've eaten a lot today, haven't you?" Yan Rushan vowed to keep an eye on the man, and he couldn't be soft-hearted for a moment. "I'll buy you roast duck tomorrow, okay?"
A little greedy.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded and threw the oysters away. "Two."
"Okay, any number is fine."
After tricking the man into leaving, Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi waited for a moment before bringing out a fruit plate and juice. "Comrade Zhong, please eat first. These were prepared by Goudan in advance. There's only boiled water in the kitchen, so we need to put it aside for a while and bring it to you later."
"Thank you." He took a sip of the juice before moving on to the fruit.
Yan Rushan brought a fruit plate, sat next to her, and waited on her after she finished eating the fruit; he also had someone bring in some snacks. She had a big appetite to begin with, and she got hungry even faster after having a child, so she ate at least one-third more. He hoped that the children who did not inherit his wife's appetite would be able to eat more.
Thinking about his wife in the mountains, who could kill a wild boar with just a stick and was like a fish in water in the forest; he felt conflicted again. It was said that being able to eat was a blessing and it was good to have the ability. He was afraid that he would inherit the ability to eat but not his wife's ability.
That's terrible.
"Slow down, don't choke, the boiling water is here." Yan Rushan said while looking towards the kitchen; he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wang Daya coming with a cup of water.
Wang Daya brought the boiled water to him, and Yan Rushan took it and tested the temperature first. Only when he felt it was suitable did he give it to her to drink.
