Chapter 279: We agreed on a lifetime, not even a day less
Shen Zhensheng simply let Xiao Baoer go into the space to sleep. He was alone outside watching Tuan Tuan and Man Man. After the ward was quiet and Tuan Tuan and Man Man were hungry, he went to call Xiao Baoer.
Other people in the ward did not tolerate the old woman's bad habits. They blamed her and told her to get out immediately and not disturb her daughter-in-law and grandson's rest.
Finally it was morning. Xiao Baoer had already fed Tuantuan and Manman was eating. Shen Zhensheng burped Tuantuan and changed his clothes. He was now wiping his face and chin and would apply facial cream on him soon.
After taking good care of Tuantuan, the whole thing was full. The little girl was small and fed slowly, so Shen Zhensheng was very careful when burping her and was even more gentle when wiping her face and applying facial cream.
"After taking care of me this morning, you still have to take care of the two children. You're really busy," Xiao Baoer said to Shen Zhensheng as soon as he sat down.
That was really busy. Seeing that the children and wife were still asleep, Shen Zhensheng washed up first, then helped his wife wash up, and just now he cleaned up the two children.
"I am happy. I am very happy in my heart. Mom and the others said that if you don't take good care of yourself during the confinement period, you will get old and have health problems. Let's do a double confinement period this time and take good care of our bodies," Shen Zhensheng said as he gently combed her hair.
"Okay, I have to take good care of myself. I have to spend my whole life with you, and we have to raise the children well."
"You're so good. We agreed on a lifetime, not even a day less."
Shen's mother and Xiao's mother got up early in the morning to make breakfast, and prepared the lean meat porridge, shrimp stewed eggs and tofu buns that Xiao Baoer wanted to eat.
The two were afraid that Shen Zhensheng was not full, so they fried him some spinach, eggs and mu shu pork. They didn't see the child all night. When they saw the child today, they felt that he was a little different from yesterday.
"Wife, you should also have some spinach and eggs. The dishes cooked by mother are very delicious."
"Okay, I can't finish this egg custard," Xiao Baoer put the unfinished egg custard aside.
"It's okay. If you can't finish it, I'll eat it. You can just pick out what you like to eat."
After the two finished their meal, Shen's mother and Xiao's mother looked after the two children. Shen Zhensheng helped Xiao Baoer walk around the ward, waiting for the doctor to come for rounds.
"Wife, does it hurt? Do you want to take a rest?"
"I can hold on for a while. I want to walk a little further."
Shen Zhensheng helped her walk around and around. Maybe it was because she had taken the postpartum recovery pills in the space last night, and she felt that her body had recovered well.
"You've recovered well. I said you are blessed. Now you believe it."
As soon as the female doctor who delivered Xiao Baoer entered the ward, she saw Shen Zhensheng helping Xiao Baoer walk slowly, very carefully the whole time, so she stopped to chat with the two of them.
"Believe it, believe it, why not? My wife gave birth to a pair of beautiful children," Shen Zhensheng also smiled at the doctor.
The doctor took another look at the condition of the two babies, and then gave some instructions to Shen Zhensheng and Xiao Baoer.
"Both the baby and the mother are doing well. They can go home and recuperate after three or four days. Don't let the mother get angry during the confinement period, otherwise it will easily cause a chronic disease."
Shen Zhensheng assured her again and again, "Don't worry, doctor. I will personally take care of my wife during her confinement. She won't get angry at all and will be happy every day."
"Yes, doctor, my husband and my mother took good care of me. I didn't have to do anything except breastfeeding."
Shen's mother also stood up and said, "This is my daughter-in-law's last child. Let's go home and have a double confinement, take good care of our bodies, and replenish our spirits."
Seeing that the mother-in-law was easy to talk to, the female doctor knew that Xiao Baoer should be living well in her husband's family.
"That's great. You took good care of me during my pregnancy, so I'm sure you can do well during this confinement period as well."
When the female doctor arrived at that house, the situation was no longer the same. The baby girl was crying so hard that her voice was almost gone, but no one picked her up to comfort her or feed her.
"Where are your family members? Why are you alone here?" the doctor asked the crying woman on the hospital bed.
"My mother-in-law and my husband are out and will be back soon."
The nurse behind him picked up the crying child and said, "This family is really a shame. They just left the mother and the child here and didn't care about them. Why didn't you feed the child when he was hungry?"
"I, I have no milk. I haven't eaten since I gave birth," the woman began to cry again.
The nurse kept calling her family at the door, and then the two people came over.
"How did your family take care of the woman who had just given birth? She still hasn't been given any food. How can she have milk to feed the baby?"
Listening to the accusations from the nurse and the doctor, the old woman started to act like a rogue.
"Who told her not to be so unpromising and not give birth to a boy for my family? What's the point of feeding a girl? Whoever wants one can have one, but I don't want one."
"You are such a pedantic and old-fashioned person. Aren't boys and girls the same? Women still hold up half the sky."
The old woman spit on the ground and said, "Bah, you are standing here talking without any pain in your waist. How can I face my ancestors without a boy? How can my family hold our heads up high in the village?"
Her son also said, "My mother is right. My family already has four girls. We can't afford to raise so many children. This child has a hard life. She should be blamed for being born in the wrong family."
Everyone in the ward felt helpless, but no one offered to help feed the child. After all, this family was so scoundrel that anyone who got involved would probably never be able to get away.
"That family is so rich, and they want a girl, so let them raise this baby. My family doesn't want it anyway."
Luo Jinhua walked a few steps to the old woman, grabbed her hair and began to slap her, "Bullshit, do you think anyone can come into my house? You want to come into my house and use my grandchildren's things? You are dreaming, get out of here!"
"My precious one is my daughter's granddaughter. What does it have to do with you, a dead old woman? I will not vent my anger unless I beat you to death," Xiao's mother also joined Shen's mother in beating her.
When Shen's mother and Xiao's mother had enough of the fight, they kicked her aside and said, "Go to hell, you disgusting bitch, stop putting your eyes on my family, or I'll beat you up every time I see you."
After the fight, Shen's mother and Xiao's mother continued to look at Tuantuan and Manman with a smile. The whole ward fell quiet. Everyone tacitly agreed that no one tried to stop Shen's mother and Xiao's mother from beating her. Some even wanted to join them in beating the old woman.
"Mom, is the baby hungry? I heard the baby crying."
"Yes, yes, Tuantuan is awake. I just checked and he didn't poop or pee. He might be hungry," Shen's mother handed the child to Xiao Baoer and closed the curtain again.
Outside the curtain, the doctor was still scolding the old woman and her son, saying that the whole family did not take the newborn baby or the mother seriously.
"Wife, let's go home the day after tomorrow to recuperate. There are all kinds of people here, and it really affects your mood," Shen Zhensheng said while hugging Manman.
"Okay, let's go back home the day after tomorrow, and then go back to the village to take care of it in a few days. The full moon banquet will also be held in the village."
Shen's mother smiled and said, "Of course we have to do it. We have twins, a boy and a girl. This is a great thing. We have to celebrate it in the village and let everyone in the village share in our joy."
Xiao Baoer also discussed with Shen Zhensheng that she would give some wedding candies to the doctor when she was discharged from the hospital and went home. This is her last child, and she probably won't have to deal with the obstetrician and gynecologist again, so she had to express some gratitude.
