Grandpa Fang was so happy that he smiled from ear to ear. He carefully approached the baby boy held by the nurse and said, "Oh my, come and let Grandpa see this big fat boy! He is exactly five pounds. What a great boy. He is so heavy! His eyebrows, eyes, and nose are exactly the same as Zhongwen's when he was a child!"
She stretched out her finger, wanting to touch the child's face, but was afraid of hurting it, so she only dared to gently touch the edge of the quilt.
Old Mrs. Fang was attracted by the baby girl: "Old man, please move aside, let me take a look at our little girl! She is 15.92 pounds, so delicate and lovely! Look at her hair, so black and dense, just like her mother! Her little mouth is so red."
Her eyes were full of love, and she was so eager to hug him in her arms.
Uncle Shen also squeezed in beside the baby girl, his eyes slightly red, his voice choked with sobs: "Like, really like when Momo was just born... so white and clean."
The nurse smiled and said, "My dear elders, the baby has just come out. I will wash it later and bring it back for mom and you to see. Okay?"
Although Ding Panyun also looked at her grandchildren with concern, she was more concerned about her daughter-in-law.
She squeezed to the side of Chen Mo's bed, gently smoothed her sweaty temples, and said softly, "Momo, thank you for your hard work. You have made great contributions to our family! Take a rest and don't think about anything."
Seeing Aunt Liu bring out the porridge, he immediately took it and said, "Aunt Liu, give it to me. I'll feed her."
She carefully tested the temperature, scooped up a small spoonful, blew gently, and placed it on Chen Mo's lips, her voice so gentle that water dripped out: "Wife, come, drink some hot porridge, Aunt Liu made it especially for you, drink it to warm your body and give you some strength."
Aunt Liu muttered, "Oh my, this blessing is unstoppable! Twins, boy and girl, and they are so healthy! Look at their skin, it's as soft as tofu, it doesn't look like a newborn baby! And their hair, wow, they will look good in braids in the future!"
Seeing Lu Qingyang feeding her porridge, she quickly helped adjust Shen Mo's pillow to make her lean more comfortably, and then reminded her:
"Qingyang, feed slowly, Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, come here, Mo is weak now."
Chen Mo originally felt completely exhausted, but after drinking the spiritual spring water and ginseng slices, she now felt less tired.
"Aunt Liu, don't worry, I'm much better now."
In fact, when she gave birth just now, it was thanks to the support of the spiritual spring water that she was able to persevere until now.
Three days later, Shen Mo was discharged from the hospital and she recovered well.
The Fang family courtyard suddenly became extremely lively.
Shen Mo was worshipped as if she were a great hero.
Ding Panyun and Aunt Liu cooked soups in various ways: the old hen soup was skimmed with oil, leaving only the clear nourishing soup; the tongcao crucian carp soup was milky white and fragrant, and was said to be the best for lactation; the red date, longan and wolfberry black chicken soup was sweet, fragrant and warm, and replenished qi and blood...
Various precious supplements were sent into Chen Mo's room like water.
Even though Shen Mo felt that she had recovered well, with such intensive "cramming" nourishment, her cheeks were visibly rounder, and her complexion was even whiter and rosier.
Lu Qingyang did not leave behind any of the things he exchanged from the space.
Her and Lu Qingyang's bedroom was spotlessly tidy, and the warm sunlight shone in through the clean glass windows.
Two brand new cribs with soft cotton pads were placed side by side.
Two cute little fellows were sleeping soundly inside.
The brother is stronger, with his fists clenched tightly against his cheeks; the sister is more delicate, with long eyelashes like small fans.
After eating and drinking, they slept especially sweetly, their rosy little faces were like ripe apples, and their hair was black and thick.
The hospital examination showed that everything was normal and the two babies were so healthy that they were overjoyed.
Just as Shen Mo was about to get out of bed to stretch her legs and check on the child, Aunt Liu came in hurriedly, carrying a bowl of freshly stewed soup, as if she had installed a radar.
"Oh my little ancestor! Why are you sitting up? Lie down quickly!"
Aunt Liu got anxious as soon as she saw it, and rushed over in two steps. She put the soup bowl on the small table next to her, and pushed Shen Mo into the quilt without saying anything.
"It's only been a few days. The bones haven't even closed yet! But if you move around too much, you'll develop a disease that will last a lifetime!"
Shen Mo cried and laughed: "Aunt Liu, I'm really fine. I feel strong and want to see the child."
"Look, let Qingyang bring the baby to you! You, stay in bed obediently for this month! The confinement period is the most important time in a woman's life, how can you be careless! The rules passed down by our ancestors are all reasonable!"
While she tucked the corners of the quilt tightly for Shen Mo, she began to talk about her "menstrual period": "The first thing is to avoid exposure to the wind! Just open a small gap in the window for you to get some fresh air, but don't face the wind."
The second rule is to use cold water! You should use hot water to wash your face and body. It is best to let Qingyang squeeze out a hot towel to wipe you. The third rule is also the most important one. "
Aunt Liu's expression became extremely serious: "Please, please ...
"Ah? Taking a shower?" Shen Mo frowned subconsciously.
Although she knew there were many rules for confinement, she felt that she was smelly after not taking a bath for three days and going through so much trouble in the hospital.
The thought of having to hold on for another month... It's simply unimaginable.
"Yes! You absolutely must not take a bath!" Aunt Liu said firmly, "If you take a bath during the confinement period, the dampness and cold air will penetrate into your open pores, and you will have headaches, joint pains, back pains, and all kinds of problems! You will suffer when you are old! Don't even think about it! What's the harm in being a little dirty? It's more important to keep your body healthy! Just bear with it!"
Shen Mo looked at Lu Qingyang who had just entered the room as if asking for help.
Lu Qingyang just went to make milk powder for the children.
But feeding the twins still requires the help of milk powder, and as soon as I enter the door, I have to obey Aunt Liu's "bans".
놛 put down the bottle and said to Aunt Liu, "Aunt Liu, you care about Momo and worry that she will catch a cold and get sick. We are very grateful for your kindness."
Aunt Liu saw Lu Qingyang opening her mouth, her expression softened a little: "Qingyang, you are a sensible person, you have to control your wife and let her do what she wants."
"Aunt Liu, you are right. You have to be careful. Taking a bath here... But this is very appropriate."
"What? What's appropriate?" Aunt Liu glared, "Thousands of our ancestors came this way!"
Lu Qingyang explained slowly: "Aunt Liu, think about it, Momo just gave birth to a child, her body is weak, and her resistance is poor. She has been in the hospital for three days, and the environment in the delivery room is relatively clean.
But when we get home, no matter how careful we are, we can't avoid dust and bacteria, sweat from our bodies, and... lochia. If we don't clean it for a long time and it accumulates on the skin, it will be more likely to breed bacteria.
If these bacteria infect the birth canal or wound, it would be a real big trouble, much more dangerous than catching a cold or a wind. If it is not handled properly, it will cause a high fever or even more serious inflammation.
The doctor at the hospital also specifically reminded me that it is very important to maintain personal hygiene after delivery, especially to pay attention to cleanliness, and to keep warm and avoid catching a cold. "
Aunt Liu opened her mouth and wanted to retort, “It was like this before and it’s okay,” but when she saw Lu Qingyang’s serious and determined eyes, and thought about scary words like “bacteria,” “infection,” and “high fever,” she began to have doubts in her heart.
She is experienced, but not entirely reasonable.
"Then...then just wash it like usual! Cold water is better!" Aunt Liu's tone was obviously more relaxed.
"Of course you can wash with cold water, or take a bath in a tub or sit in a bath, or rinse with warm water. The shower here was remodeled for this purpose."
"Alas... you kid, you have a lot of reasons and you even bring in the doctor... Okay, okay, I'll do as you say!
