The next afternoon, Chu Jingqiu felt her chest visibly swollen, as if her milk had begun to come out.
However, when Xiaowu tried to suck, she did not seem to be able to drink the breast milk smoothly, which made her cry anxiously.
Chu Jingqiu felt her breasts were becoming more and more swollen, even to the point of being extremely uncomfortable. When she touched them, she found a large lump, which made her feel a little panicked.
Seeing this, Grandma Xiao frowned and said to Chu Jingqiu, "Xiaoqiu, your milk is engorged. Don't worry, let's use a hot towel to apply and see if that can clear the blockage."
She quickly took a clean towel, soaked it in hot water, and carefully applied it to Chu Jingqiu's chest.
After applying hot compress for a while, Grandma Xiao gave her a gentle massage for a while, but the effect did not seem to be obvious.
Grandma Xiao looked at Xiao Yihan next to her and said, "Yihan, it seems that Xiaowu doesn't have enough strength and may not be able to suck it out. You come and try to help Xiaoqiu clear it."
Xiao Yihan nodded. He thought he was asked to help with the massage, so he squatted down and carefully began to massage Chu Jingqiu.
Grandma Xiao rolled her eyes at him speechlessly and whispered, "Yihan, I didn't ask you to massage her, I asked you to help her suck it out. Why are you so stupid?"
After saying that, she lifted the curtain in front of the bed and walked out with Xiaowu in her arms, "Hurry up, our Xiaowu is still hungry!"
Xiao Yihan's face flushed instantly. He glanced at Chu Jingqiu embarrassedly. Chu Jingqiu was also feeling bloated and uncomfortable. She also wanted to relieve the pain quickly.
She glanced at Xiao Yihan helplessly, "Hurry up! Why are you still standing there like an idiot? I'm almost suffocating!"
After hearing what Chu Jingqiu said, Xiao Yihan chuckled softly and said, "This is a great job! It feels like pie in the sky. I was worried that you'd be embarrassed just now. Now that you're not afraid anymore, why should I hesitate?"
After saying that, he no longer hesitated. He looked around, and after making sure that there was no one else, he bent down...!
Chu Jingqiu felt a tingling sensation spread throughout her body, her heartbeat quickened, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
After a while, Chu Jingqiu felt the lump in her chest gradually dissipate and milk began to flow out smoothly.
Xiao Yihan stood up, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "Okay, grandma, bring Xiaowu over and let her try."
Grandma Xiao waited outside for a while, and when she heard Xiao Yihan calling her, she brought Xiao Wu over with a smile on her face.
Chu Jingqiu took Xiaowu and held him to her chest. Xiaowu stopped crying immediately after drinking the milk and began to suck the breast milk contentedly.
Grandma Xiao listened to the sound of Xiaowu swallowing breast milk with big gulps. She smiled and said, "That's good. Our Xiaowu will have food and will never go hungry again."
She tucked in Xiaowu's blanket and said, "Xiaoqiu, let Xiaowu finish eating this side and then switch to the other side. Otherwise, if she eats on both sides, her breasts will be of different sizes."
After listening to Grandma Xiao's words, Chu Jingqiu nodded gently. She carefully moved Xiaowu to the other side to ensure that she could suck milk evenly from both sides.
After Xiaowu had finished her milk, Grandma Xiao took her in, held her and patted her gently. Xiaowu burped loudly, and then Grandma Xiao put her in the crib and let her sleep.
Grandma He went to the bathroom to wash the children's diapers. When she returned to the ward, she heard that Xiaowu had already started breastfeeding.
He said with a smile: "Our Xiaowu has been suffering these past two days. We kept asking her to eat, but she couldn't get anything in her mouth, which made her cry all the time. Now Xiaowu doesn't have to cry anymore."
Grandma He hung all the diapers on the clothesline and said as she did so, "I just met an old lady in the bathroom. When she saw me washing diapers, she thought I was the nanny of the quintuplets!
She kept coming up to me and trying to get close to me. I thought she was curious about how we had quintuplets, but it turned out she was targeting the boys in our family.
Her wife had given birth to five daughters in a row, and the doctor said she couldn't have any more, so she planned to adopt a boy. When she went back to register her household registration, she said she had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl. She saw that we had too many boys, so she thought we couldn't afford to raise them, so she planned to adopt one from us.
Chu Jingqiu was surprised when she heard what Grandma He said. She never thought that someone would have such an idea and want to adopt her child.
Her gaze turned to the five children sleeping peacefully in their cribs, and a strong desire to protect them surged in her heart.
"What the hell is she dreaming of?" Chu Jingqiu said angrily. "If she dares to take away the children I gave birth to with so much difficulty, I will die of rage on the spot. I must protect my children well and will never let anyone take them away."
Grandma He snorted coldly, "That's right! I scolded her and she left in disgrace after washing half of the diapers."
Grandma Xiao also said hurriedly: "This man might be a human trafficker. We have to keep an eye on the little ones for the next two days. They are my dearest ones."
After staying in the hospital for two days, Xiao Yihan remained vigilant at all times, fearing that the children would be harmed.
Chu Jingqiu felt sorry for him and advised him to lie down on the bed and rest for a while, even though he repeatedly told him that Lele and Jiangjiang were helping to look after the baby through the space monitoring.
Xiao Yihan was still worried, and he couldn't sleep well. As long as he heard any noise, he would immediately get up to check on the children.
After a few days, Xiao Yihan's eyes were filled with red bloodshot, but he did not look tired at all. He took care of Chu Jingqiu and the children with full energy every day.
Now Xiao Yihan is very skilled in changing diapers, feeding milk powder to children, burping them, coaxing them to sleep, and giving them water.
Soon, Chu Jingqiu will be discharged from the hospital. During these days in the hospital, the young nurses in the obstetrics and gynecology department have become familiar with the quintuplets.
On the day of discharge, doctors and nurses from the obstetrics and gynecology department came to see the family off.
Xiao Yihan put a thick hat on Chu Jingqiu, put on thick clothes, and helped her out of the ward.
The five children were the most spectacular. Grandma Xiao held the eldest, Grandma He held the second, Mom Xiao held the third, He Manwen held the fourth, and Dad Chu held the fifth. The group left the hospital in a mighty procession.
Many family members from the obstetrics and gynecology department came out to see the family, and they were all amazed.
"Those five children in this family must be the quintuplets! Look how big their family is! So enviable!"
"I would be happy if my wife could give birth to twins, but it's a pity that she only has one. How could she be so lucky to have five at once?"
"This family is so lucky. Not everyone can have quintuplets. Seeing how carefully they take care of the children, they must be a good family."
"I will also work hard in the future to have twins, preferably quintuplets, haha!"
The family members were talking about it, with envy in their eyes.
