Dreaming of Lion Rock: Recipe in Hand

Chapter 173 Confinement

After only half a day in the hospital, Chunni was carried home wrapped in a blanket. Chunni's room had been tidied up early, clean and tidy, the windows were tightly closed, and two quilts were spread on the bed, soft and warm. Fortunately, it was only May and the mountain was relatively cool, otherwise, this confinement period would be difficult to endure.

The aunt had already prepared chicken soup and brought a bowl to Chunni, then asked her to order a bowl of chicken noodle soup.

This chicken soup must have its original flavor, so even ginger to remove the fishy smell is not added, and even salt is not added.

Chunni said that she has to drink more soup for her two little babies, but it is not limited to chicken soup, she can also accept vegetable soup and mushroom soup!

"Grandma, for your little darlings, please put a little salt in the soup, otherwise I really can't drink it!" Salt is the source of all flavors. No matter what dish you eat, it will have no taste without salt!

Mrs. Chu knew about confinement, and agreed to Chunni's request without hesitation. She twisted a hot towel and asked Chunni to wipe her chest. She looked worried, "Look, it's been so long, why haven't you produced any milk yet? Hurry up and massage it, my baby is hungry."

Chunni was also embarrassed. She was so swollen that she felt uncomfortable. Why didn't the milk come out? Was it because the baby didn't suck hard enough? She rubbed her breasts with shame and felt something coming out. It looked yellow.

Mrs. Chu said happily: "Ah, chicken soup is still effective. It's only been a short time since I drank the soup, and I'm pregnant." She placed the two little babies on the left and right. The two little babies were already very hungry, and they sucked them instinctively. After a while, the sound of swallowing could be heard. This time, they finally ate.

Chunni was a little confused and asked: "Grandma, why is this milk a little yellow?"

"This is colostrum, rich in white blood cells and immune substances, and very nutritious. You must not waste it."

Chunni felt relieved. She thought she was sick and different from others!

Old Mrs. Chu solved her baby's eating problem and started nagging again.

"I don't know how Yan Qing can be a father. The babies are already born, but they haven't been named yet! They still need to be registered. How can they survive without names?"

Chunni was also very anxious. She herself was bad at naming, and she didn't expect He Yanqing to be any better. She had started thinking of names since she knew she was pregnant with twins, but she still hadn't come up with one.

When her grandmother mentioned it, Chunni could only say, "It will be soon, soon."

Where is He Yanqing now!

When the villagers knew Chunni had given birth, they came to visit her with eggs and brown sugar. As the male host, He Yanqing had to receive the guests, but most of the guests were hostesses from various households, which was a bit embarrassing.

"Congratulations, you have a baby boy!"

"Congratulations to Yan Qing on having a son and a daughter."

"Young man, you're great! You got two at once." After congratulating him, the woman started making jokes, regardless of whether it was meat or vegetables.

"Oh, Sister Yang, are you saying that your man is no good? Don't say that! Be careful or you'll get punished at night."

"Hahahaha!"

Two other women quietly asked if it was a problem of posture.

No matter how brave He Yanqing was, he had never seen such a scene!

The worldly-wise Dr. He sent these women fellows, who hold up half the sky, out the door and warmly invited them to attend the baby's full-month banquet before he breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Old Grandpa Chu, he went out fishing early and showed off his adorable great-grandson to his old friends!

The children who just went out eat and sleep, which is easy to take care of. But getting up to feed them every two or three hours is also torture. What's more, Chunni has two little babies, which makes her miserable. The biological clocks of the two are completely different. One of them peed and the other was hungry. Chunni didn't sleep well all night. It's easy to give birth to a child, but it's hard to raise a child!

"Waaaaa." Chunni struggled to get up, picked up the crying Dabao and comforted him, casually lifted up her clothes and started feeding. On the other side, her younger sister also started crying, and He Yanqing picked up her younger sister and comforted her with a cry.

"My grandma also told me to sleep with the babies. She said that if I sleep when they sleep, I won't be tired. Oh! That's easy for me to say. My biological clock for sleeping has been established a long time ago. How can I change it in a short time?"

He Yanqing had no choice. His grandmother was old and it was not good to overwork her.

"Well, let's try to adjust the babies' feeding times together. That should be better."

Chunni nodded in agreement.

"Chun Ni, why don't we just find someone in the village to help us wash diapers and clothes and help with cooking. This way grandma can have an easier time."

Chunni thought about how many diapers had been changed today. During the day, He Yanqing had to go to work, and her grandmother had to take care of her and two little babies. It was really hard, so she agreed.

"Oh, I should have thought of that earlier. You are very thoughtful."
