When the group returned to the compound, they caused quite a stir, and many old neighbors came out to watch the fun.
Seeing the Xiao family and the Chu family getting out of the car with their five children, everyone showed expressions of amazement and envy.
Everyone just watched from a distance. They knew that children had weak resistance, so they did not come closer to see.
Grandma Liu shouted, "Sister, your house will be bustling from now on. Let Xiaoqiu take good care of herself after the baby is born. I will come to your house to look after the baby in a few days."
Grandma Xiao said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you must come to our house and visit us when the time comes. Remember to bring your Nan Nan with you!"
When he got home, Grandma Xiao had already made the bed. Chu Jingqiu lay down on the bed and felt relieved.
Although I fell asleep in the hospital these days, it was not as comfortable as sleeping at home.
Chu Jingqiu lay on the bed to rest, and the five little ones were taken to the crib next to them to sleep.
Jiang Jiang and Lele had already seen the appearance of the five babies through the surveillance. She and Lele had been looking forward to it for several days, waiting for Chu Jingqiu to come back so that she could take a good look at the babies!
Jiang Jiang stared at Chu Jingqiu for a while, then couldn't wait to run to the next room to see the baby.
She squatted beside the crib and looked at the little guys quietly, wagging her tail happily.
She excitedly said to Chu Jingqiu with her consciousness: "Qiuqiu, the babies are so cute, I really want to lick their little faces!"
Chu Jingqiu smiled and joked, "Jiang Jiang, you'd better be honest! My current status is not as good as these little guys, let alone you.
If you lick them with your tongue, grandma and grandma will probably kick you out, thinking you are going to bite their little treasures!"
Jiang Jiang nodded, "Okay! Then just watch from the side. Lele also wants to see the baby. When everyone is asleep tonight, I'll let Lele come out to see them."
Chu Jingqiu agreed with a smile: "Okay, you guys just be careful and don't let anyone find out. Lele doesn't sleep at night, so he can help look after the little ones!"
Although it is very happy to have five children at once, taking care of these five children is really not an easy task.
One or two people simply cannot take care of it all. In order to better take care of the five children, the two families had already discussed the specific division of labor.
Chu Jingqiu was in confinement after giving birth, and Xiao Yihan didn't want her to be tired, so he just asked her to be responsible for feeding Xiaowu.
A few days later, Xiao's mother and Chu's mother both had to go to work and had no time to take care of the child, so they specially hired two nannies to help take care of the child.
During the day, Xiao Yihan, Grandma Xiao, Grandma He and the two old men would help the nanny take care of the children.
But the four elderly people are old after all, and they cannot be asked to stay up late at night, so two nannies are assigned to take care of the children at night.
Xiao Yihan hadn't slept well for several days. After lunch, Chu Jingqiu fed Xiaowu, and the two of them hugged each other and had a good nap.
When she woke up in the afternoon, Grandma Xiao brought her another bowl of chicken noodle soup. Chu Jingqiu saw the noodles that Grandma Xiao brought her in a large bowl and said in surprise, "Grandma, this bowl is too big! I can't eat so much!"
Grandma Xiao looked at her lovingly and said with a smile, "Xiao Qiu, you need to drink more soup and eat more rice during the confinement period so that your milk supply is sufficient and our little five can eat well."
Chu Jingqiu only ate one egg, but she was full after eating one-third of the large bowl of noodles. She pushed the bowl to Xiao Yihan and asked Xiao Yihan to eat it for her.
Xiao Yihan took a look and saw that there were still two eggs in it, and there was still so much rice left, so he urged Chu Jingqiu to eat more, "Xiaoqiu, you've eaten too little, eat more!"
Chu Jingqiu shook his head, rubbed his stomach and said, "Yihan, I'm really full. I can't eat so much. I lie still all day and don't feel hungry at all."
Xiao Yihan shook his head helplessly, brought the rice over, and started eating. While eating, he teased, "Xiao Qiu, you can't always ask me to eat for you. Don't let me get so fat that you can't walk when you haven't gained weight during the confinement period."
Chu Jingqiu chuckled, "Then you can increase your exercise volume and go to the space gym to exercise!"
After saying that, she seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly contacted Jiang Jiang, "Jiang Jiang, I have lochia that is not clean now, and the doctor told me not to take a bath in the tub.
Can I bathe in the spiritual spring water now, or will I have to wait a few days?"
Jiang Jiang was watching the babies change their diapers next door. She stared at the little ones without blinking. When she heard Chu Jingqiu calling her, she thought for a moment and said, "Qiuqiu, I forgot to tell you that you can soak in the spiritual spring anytime.
The spiritual spring water has healing properties. It does not contain any impurities and will not cause infection to you.
If you soak in the spiritual spring water, your figure will quickly return to its pre-pregnancy state, so feel free to soak in it!"
Chu Jingqiu was very happy to hear Jiang Jiang's words. After giving birth, she was always sweating and felt sticky all the time. She had wanted to take a bath for a long time, but her grandmother and her great-grandmother were afraid that she would suffer from postpartum diseases, so they didn't let her take a bath.
Now, she was determined to take a good soak in the hot spring. She couldn't wait to slip into the space, took a change of clothes, and went into the small pool.
The moment her body touched the spiritual spring water, a warm power surged throughout her body.
She was pleasantly surprised to find that her belly was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her sagging belly became firm and elastic.
Especially the small wounds on her lower body caused by childbirth, she no longer felt any pain. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the comfort and healing brought by the spiritual spring water.
After coming out of the small pond, she felt like she was reborn and full of new energy.
She dried her hair in the bedroom of the space before slipping out. She felt refreshed all over and the lochia was almost gone. She lay comfortably on the bed to rest.
The children next door woke up again. Xiao Yihan brought Xiaowu over. Chu Jingqiu undressed, picked up Xiaowu and started feeding him.
When Xiao Yihan saw Chu Jingqiu's energetic look, he knew that Chu Jingqiu must have gone to the space.
He covered Chu Jingqiu with a blanket and said, "Xiaoqiu, Grandpa and the others just discussed naming the children. Grandpa wants to give the two children the surname He and Chu.
As a result, my father and grandfather both refused. They believed that it was a new society now and that it was no longer important to pass on the family line and pass on the incense. It would be better for the children to have the same surname.
To avoid that when the children grow up and go to school, others will wonder why brothers don’t have the same surname, and they may even have other ideas. So it’s better to let the children have the same surname.”
