Chapter 503 Niece
No matter how tired you are, you still have to take a bath.
Xia Zhizhi went back to her room to wash up as usual, then came out and slept until dawn.
She was half-groggy in the morning and sensed some movement in the house. Knowing it was a family member, she didn't pay much attention to it and turned over and went back to sleep.
When she woke up, she found a milk ball next to her.
Her room has floor heating, so the temperature is not too low, so the child doesn't need to wear too much, but his arms and legs are covered.
His two hands were clenched into chubby fists, and the flesh on his face, like a doll in a New Year picture, was falling down and rolling.
Xia Zhizhi sighed: "So fat, why is he so fat..."
Xia Qingqing was staying at her mother's house for the confinement period and she hasn't returned to the army yet. Last night, she learned that her sister had returned. This morning, Xia Sihua and his wife asked the driver to take her over when they were at work. When she came, Xia Zhizhi was still sleeping soundly.
He is still very well behaved when he falls asleep, but as soon as he wakes up he starts talking nonsense and causing trouble.
Xia Qingqing reached out and poked Xia Zhizhi: "What nonsense! All children are like this. How come they are fat?"
Xia Zhizhi knew that as a mother she didn't mind her child being fat, so she didn't argue. She pinched the child's chubby face and quickly got up to wash.
After he had tidied himself, he went over to see his newly born nephew.
Xia Zhizhi leaned over and pressed her face against her nephew's chubby cheeks, and asked Xia Qingqing, "When was the baby born? Is it a boy or a girl?"
While Xia Qingqing was preparing the milk powder, she said, "A girl, born on the second morning of last month."
Xia Zhizhi calculated the date and thought, good boy, they had sex just two days after getting married.
Xia Qingqing came over with the bottle in her hand, and seeing the expression on her face, she glared at her: "What are you thinking about in your little head? Do you think I, your sister, am fat?"
Because of her pregnancy and childbirth, Xia Qingqing had become a lot plumper than before, and she hadn't recovered that quickly since she had just finished her confinement. As a cadre of the art troupe, she was very concerned about her appearance. When she saw Xia Zhizhi making faces secretly, she couldn't help but think about this.
"Sister, what are you talking about? It's inevitable that you gain some weight when you're pregnant and have a baby. Besides, with your condition, you'll be thin again in less than two months." Xia Zhizhi picked up the child, put him in Xia Qingqing's arms, and let the child drink milk.
She sat down next to him and whispered to Xia Qingqing, "I brought you a gift from Hong Kong. It's for people who have given birth. It can help with recovery. It has everything. They also have exercises to help with recovery. I'll teach you later."
Xia Zhizhi never brags about this, and everything she gets is always good.
Xia Qingqing glanced at her with a complicated expression: "You are always so thoughtful and considerate, and you can think of everything. As your sister, I am ashamed."
Xia Zhizhi pulled the pacifier out of the child's mouth, and seeing that the child was unhappy, she put it back in, then said with a playful smile: "Then when my niece grows up, you can lend her to me to play with."
Xia Qingqing patted her messy hands and said, "You are just talking nonsense."
Xia Zhizhi bullied the child for a while, then took out a large bag of things from her luggage.
After Xia Qingqing burped the baby and put him to bed, she took the things over to present the treasure.
"Look at this, this is a sanitary napkin." Since they were all lesbians, Xia Zhizhi only needed to explain it briefly and Xia Qingqing immediately understood what it was and how to use it.
His eyes lit up immediately: "This thing is great, I don't know how much trouble it will save me after the period!"
Xia Zhizhi then showed the other bottles and jars to Xia Qingqing one by one.
There are those for the face, those for the body, and those for stretch marks.
Xia Qingqing lifted her clothes to show her.
She did have stretch marks, but before Xia Zhizhi left, she left her two bottles of oil specifically for rubbing her belly. Xia Qingqing insisted on using them, and fortunately, due to her physical condition or genetic factors, her marks were not that serious.
In addition, there are some supplements to take after delivery.
After explaining the food and drink items.
Xia Zhizhi also taught her two sets of postpartum rehabilitation exercises. Xia Qingqing had always paid attention to exercise on a daily basis, so they were not difficult for her.
I just think sisters are better. After all, in this era, it is absolutely impossible to communicate such things with male relatives, let alone male relatives, even your own husband cannot tell it.
As a mother, Pan Wenjun would naturally care about her daughter, but her vision and the limitations of the times were there. There were some things Pan Wenjun had never seen in her life, so naturally she had no way of mentioning them, and she would not be as thoughtful as Xia Zhizhi.
But overall, it's much better than other people of the same generation.
Xia Qingqing is still on vacation and doesn't have to go to work for the time being. The child is still young and sleeps after eating. He is rarely awake. It is easy now, but it will take a few more months before it becomes a tiring task.
After breakfast, the two sisters spent the whole morning in Xia Zhizhi's room. Xia Qingqing and Xia Zhizhi talked about what happened in the family in the past year.
The biggest thing in the family was Xia Qingqing giving birth to a child, and the second biggest thing was that her third brother and sister-in-law Tao Tao were transferred back to the Beijing Military Region in the second half of the year.
My second brother also seems to have a partner, but according to him, it is not time for them to get married yet.
Knowing that he had a partner, Pan Wenjun and Xia Sihua breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he had a partner, it didn't matter if he got married a year earlier or a year later.
Apart from that there are some odd and miscellaneous things that happen among parents.
Xia Qingqing has no relatives from her husband's family, and she chose her husband herself, who is relatively obedient, so her life is pretty good.
Xia Zhizhi listened to her talk about the little things in life in detail. There was nothing earth-shattering or dramatic, just some insignificant little things. She thought it was fine this way.
Xia Qingqing recounted her life and then asked Xia Zhizhi, "What about you? Where have you been in the past year?"
Xia Zhizhi giggled and said, "Didn't I tell you in the letter? Let's talk about the rest when mom and dad come back tonight."
"You're keeping us in suspense." Xia Qingqing said angrily.
It was his cheap brother-in-law Wang Zhili who came first in the evening.
Because they were waiting for their family to have dinner together, Xia Zhizhi and Xia Qingqing both went to the living room.
As soon as Wang Zhili entered the room, he brought a chill with him.
Without waiting for Xia Qingqing to speak, he quickly closed the door, took off his coat, ran some hot water, washed his face, wiped his hands, and went to the small stove where Xia Zhizhi was making tea to warm himself up.
Then he came to Xia Qingqing hesitantly and said, "Wife, let me hold the child."
Xia Qingqing looked him up and down, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, she handed the child over and said, "Just hold her, don't kiss her or rub your face against her."
Wang Zhili whispered back, "I shaved this morning and just washed my face."
Xia Qingqing glared: "I said no, it's no, your beard has grown out in just one day!"
Wang Zhili gradually fell silent under her gaze, and tossed his daughter around in his arms, feeling aggrieved.
