In the delivery room.
Sister Yan Zi wrapped the baby in a small blanket and held it up to Yu Sui to look at. "So handsome! The doctors and nurses all said he's handsome! I've never seen a baby so good-looking right after birth. I wonder how many girls he'll charm in the future."
Wu Su came over, put his hand gently on the child, and said nothing.
Yu Sui looked at her expression and asked, "Godmother, what's wrong?"
Wu Su immediately lowered his head: "Nothing."
Yu Sui frowned, but because Sister Yan Zi was there, she didn't say anything else.
Sister Yan Zi is a staunch materialist, and Yu Sui doesn't want to say anything that would offend her.
Because it was a normal birth, the doctor said in the afternoon that Yu Sui could go home to recuperate.
Sister Yan Zi pushed the bicycle, let Yu Sui sit on the back seat, and Wu Su helped hold the child, and then they went home.
Compared with the grandiose pick-ups and various examinations for children in later generations, Yu Sui's child seemed like she bought one at the hospital, paid a little midwife's fee, and the child was born.
After taking care of Yu Sui for three days, Sister Yan Zi had to go back to work. "I think Comrade Wu Su is quite capable. I gave her my workplace's phone number. If you need anything, just ask her to call me. I'll send you food every morning at the guardhouse. Remember to ask Comrade Wu Su to pick it up."
"Sister-in-law, thank you so much. You are so busy, but you still take care of me like this."
"What are you talking about? We're all brothers and sisters, so there's no need to be polite. I was wondering what to do when Xia Linbei isn't home and I can't take much time off. Fortunately, you have this Wusu godmother."
Yu Sui exchanged a few polite words with Sister Yan Zi, and as soon as she left, Yu Sui began to ask Wu Su: "Godmother, do you think there is something wrong with the child?"
Wu Su didn't say anything and just lowered his head to wash the diaper.
But Yu Sui could feel that she was hiding something.
Yu Sui: "Godmother, we are also in trouble. Why don't you tell me? Are you afraid that I can't bear it or what?"
Wu Su put down the diaper and said, "There are some things I can't put into words. It's just a feeling. What do you want me to say?"
"What does it feel like?"
“It’s a very strange feeling.”
"What's that strange feeling?"
"That's right..." Wu Su's brows furrowed even more. She suddenly rolled up her arms and showed them to Yu Sui: "Look for yourself, my arms are like this when I look at the child or when I touch his things."
The two arms raised in front of Yu Sui were the same length, but the colors were obviously different.
The left arm was red, as if covered with a rash; the right arm was white and looked a little creepy.
Yu Sui saw this strange sight for the first time: "How could this happen?"
Wu Su shook his head: "I don't know either. So, what should I say? God has not given me any instructions."
Yu Sui became worried: "How can I give you instructions?"
Wu Su didn't even bother to shake his head: "If I had known, I would have done it a long time ago. I like this child very much. There is no need to hide anything from you."
"So what are we going to do?"
"I don't know. Let's take it one step at a time. Anyway, that's all for now. I don't feel any pain or itching, so it's not an emergency. Actually, you shouldn't ask me. See, the moment you ask me, you get anxious, don't you?"
Yu Sui was speechless.
Indeed, Wusu's situation immediately diluted the joy of holding her own child.
Yu Sui looked down at her son sleeping peacefully on the kang with mixed feelings.
The child is so beautiful. He is only three days old, but the wrinkles that were caused by the amniotic fluid when he was first born are gone. His skin is white and clean, and his facial features are like those of a doll.
But as she looked, Wu Su's two arms appeared in front of Yu Sui's eyes.
What does this mean?
Apart from this, overall, the confinement period went smoothly.
Every day, Wu Su went to the gate of the compound to bring in the vegetables sent by Sister Yan Zi to show Yu Sui. Then, according to Yu Sui's instructions, he cooked the dishes that Yu Sui wanted to eat.
However, there was a huge difference between what Yu Sui wanted to eat and what Wu Su cooked.
The meat was either too tough to chew or full of fat, and the oily residue on the chicken soup was a bit unbearable.
Yu Sui could only cook in the kitchen herself.
Afterwards, with Wu Su's great praise, I finished eating with her.
However, Wusu really takes care of the child. The baby eats every two hours, and Wusu gets up to help.
This time, the tasks of sterilizing milk bottles were very time-consuming and laborious. When she thought about having to get up in the middle of the night to make milk in winter, Yu Sui decided to continue breastfeeding her son.
It was very primitive and extremely uncomfortable at the beginning, but Tianbi's maternal instinct helped Yu Sui overcome these difficulties.
Finally everything went well.
During this period, children basically eat and sleep, and can basically get by with someone helping them.
A month later, the little baby has gained a lot of weight and looks even more beautiful. She truly deserves the title of "carved out of jade".
Sister Yan Zi brought some clothes to see the child, holding it in her arms and refusing to let go: "Oh, this child, oh, this baby, oh, how can it be so cute! Oh, when Xia Lin comes back and sees this child, she will be so happy! Hey, have you named it yet?"
Yu Sui: “I just gave it a nickname.”
"What?"
"sweet dumpling."
"Hahaha, what a white and tender glutinous rice dumpling!"
While Sister Yan Zi was around, Yu Sui took out the camera she had bought from the space and asked Sister Yan Zi to take a full moon photo for herself and her child.
Wu Su didn't want to take pictures, so he waited until today.
There was no strong sense of ceremony for this first full moon, mainly because Xia Lin was not at home. Yu Sui thought that taking a photo as a souvenir would be enough to mark the full moon.
Wu Su didn't think so. She said that their tradition was to pray for blessings on the full moon day, so she wanted to pray for the child.
There is no such thing as too much praying, so Yu Sui agreed.
Wu Su went back to her room to get her things.
When he came out a while later, Yu Sui was shocked.
Wusu was fully armed, wearing long feathers on his head, a ferocious mask on his face, and a long robe embroidered with various totems.
In one hand she held a small drum with a circle of bells around it, and in the other hand she held something similar to a whip with red silk thread tied on it, which looked ancient.
Even the boots Wu Su wore were very simple and ancient. Besides being embroidered with birds and beasts, they were also decorated with bells.
This sense of ritual is really strong.
Yu Sui looked at the intricate patterns on the dress, smelled the long-lasting scent of the dress, and asked, "Did you bring this dress specially? It looks very old."
Wu Su showed a rare look of pride. "Of course! This is a treasure left by our ancestors, worth hundreds of pounds. Only the high priest can wear it. People in the tribe invite me to pray for blessings, and they have to give me a whole sheep. But I like this child, I voluntarily ask the four gods and Buddhas to protect him!"
