Ye Qingyin said this on purpose for Jiang Jun to hear.
This is not her speaking in a high-minded manner as if she were the commander's wife, but she has actually done so and achieved it over the years.
Jiang Jun listened with gritted teeth, not daring to respond.
Of course she understands all these great principles, and of course she knows all these nice words, but if you ask her to say it, she can't say it even if you kill her.
After waiting anxiously until midnight, Gao Shengmei finally gave birth to a big fat boy weighing 7.2 jin (16.8 catties) with a loud cry.
Jiang Jun quickly sent the nanny back to report: "Aunt Liu, Xiaoying and I will take care of Sister Xiaomei here. Please go back and tell Aunt Ye so that she can sleep peacefully."
The nanny smiled and said, "Xiao Jiang, I'm more familiar with these things than you. I'll take care of them here. You go home. Tomorrow morning, you can heat up breakfast for Director Ye and then come back to take over from me."
No matter how smart and capable Xiao Jiang is, she is still young after all. It is obvious that she doesn't know how to hold a baby. She should stay in the ward and be scared. She will be afraid of getting pregnant in the future.
Older people have life experience, and what they say makes people feel at ease.
Jiang Jun didn't hesitate and walked slowly back to the military family compound alone on the thick snow.
Ye Qingyin heard the noise and asked inside the house. When she learned it was a boy, she couldn't lie down anymore and had to get up to pack her things: "Such a big child! Boys eat a lot and poop a lot. I see that the films and clothes Xiaomei prepared are not enough. I happen to have a pound of cotton in my closet. Can you help me find two pieces of cloth? I will make a small blanket for Xiaomei now. This child is growing so fast. He was only seven pounds when he was born. Wow, he will grow to more than ten pounds when he is one month old! Xiaowu was only six pounds when he was born. I didn't have much to eat at that time. When he was one month old, Xiaowu had grown to ten pounds!"
This is a common problem among all mothers. When they see other people's children doing well, they can recall the good things about their own children.
The reason why Ye Qingyin doesn’t envy other people’s children is because Chen Yuanwu is what others call “other people’s child”!
Having raised and educated several outstanding children, as a mother, it's inevitable that she will feel proud despite the hard work. She will not and does not need to hide it in front of her daughter-in-law: "Most people say that you don't need to hold the child after it is born. In fact, how can you not let the mother hold the newborn baby after the umbilical cord is cut? Only when the biological mother holds the child will the child feel safe. At that time, I didn't listen to anyone. I insisted on bringing Xiao Wu with me at all times. So, you see, Xiao Wu is calm and not panicked no matter what he does now. He has known since he was a child that his mother is by his side!"
Jiang Yun thought it made a lot of sense.
And she actually felt a little jealous in her heart, because the object of her jealousy was actually her dear husband.
Ye Qingyin instructed Jiang Jun to help spread the cotton cloth flat, and she grabbed the cotton ball and started to stuff the small quilt with cotton. When she was done, there was still a little left: "Wow, this is almost two taels, I might as well make him a pair of small cotton pants."
Jiang Yun picked up the dried cotton cloth on the radiator. "Mom, you cut and I'll sew. The desk lamp isn't bright enough, so don't strain your eyes. It's cold, and you have a weak heart. Go to bed early."
Seeing her mother-in-law being so maternal, she was very touched.
Ye Qingyin was still worried, so she demonstrated it herself and supervised Jiang Jun sewing a few stitches before giving him the go-ahead: "Yes, sew like this. The stitches should be dense, and your hands should not be too tight. The clothes should fit the body to keep warm. If the child is comfortable, he won't make a fuss. Eating, sleeping, and pooping will be regular, and the child will be healthy, which saves you trouble. You should know that I raised Xiao Wu and Xiao Fei this way."
The last sentence always includes some self-praise.
Jiang Jun listened attentively and learned to do it.
Fortunately, no matter what Ye Qingyin said, she would not bring up the topic of children with her.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked together for half the night, making a new pair of cotton pants, a small thin quilt, and finding two old sheets to keep aside, ready to cut them to make diapers for the child at any time.
Before going to bed, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law both had something on their minds.
Ye Qingyin thought: If this were my own grandson, I would be able to make five pairs of cotton pants even if I stayed up all night, let alone working for half the night. I would not trust those bought from outside or made by others.
Jiang Jun thought: Aunt Ye is so authoritarian and overbearing. If I really give birth to a child, how can I defeat her? I still have to listen to her in everything.
Not long after I fell asleep, the wake-up call sounded.
Jiang Jun, with dark circles under his eyes, made breakfast for Ye Qingyin in a drowsy state. He drank half a bowl of porridge and went out.
It wasn't that she had no appetite because of staying up late, but she had seen Xiao Qingfeng changing the film in the hospital before, and some bad thoughts came to her mind, and she even dry heaved a few times.
She was afraid that she would not be able to bear it if she saw the same scene again in the hospital, and Gao Shengmei would catch her and make fun of her in the future.
In the maternity ward next door, the wife of a battalion commander was giving birth there. She was now able to walk around and came to visit Gao Shengmei's ward. They were having a lively discussion about how to increase lactation.
Seeing Jiang Jun come in, Gao Shengmei pointed and introduced her, "Xiao Cui, let me introduce you, this is my mother-in-law!"
Xiao Cui smiled and said, "Oh, such a young mother-in-law! Don't tell me, if we were walking on the street, I would have thought she was not married."
Gao Shengmei smiled proudly: "Xiao Jiang, look at you, it's not your face that looks young, your body is too flat, anyone who sees you would think you are young!"
Jiang Yun was so angry that he was speechless.
The nanny smiled and said, "Xiao Jiang, you stay here with me. I'll go back and make some soup. This child looks like a full-term baby. He eats a lot and sleeps soundly, snoring a lot. The adults have to eat more so that the child can have enough!"
Xiao Cui envied: "You have good conditions and so many people to help take care of the children."
Jiang Jun thought about how Jiang Yonghua still had to light the stove to keep warm and wash the films in cold water, and couldn't help but say, "You live in the barracks and have heating, so be content. You can be hospitalized for medical treatment and give birth for free, and the conditions are good enough."
Xiao Cui smiled and said: "When you speak like that, you can tell that you are married."
Gao Shengmei exclaimed in amazement: "Mother-in-law, don't just stand there. Come and hug your son-in-law. Feel sorry for him and give birth to our daughter-in-law as soon as possible!"
Jiang Jun spat: "How do you know I'll have a daughter in the future?"
Gao Shengmei laughed: "Of course!"
Xiao Cui was jealous. The leaders had already formed a close circle with each other, and outsiders couldn't get in. "You haven't given birth yet? I told you, how can everything be smooth sailing after giving birth? Hey, look at me, I'm so tongue-tied. As for us women, as soon as we get pregnant, our front gets bigger. After giving birth, our belly goes down, but the top is still there."
The man was rude and his words were vulgar, which made Jiang Jun feel awkward.
