Chapter 103: The Real Challenge Begins
Sister Wu mixed another 30 milliliters of milk, Jian Jian drank about 10 milliliters, and finally opened the pacifier by herself and fell asleep with a naΓ―ve face.
After another burst of burps that made Xin's mother have a heart attack, Sister Wu put Jian Jian on the small bed prepared by the hospital. The little one immediately curled up and fell asleep beautifully.
Two fathers and two mothers gathered around together, all kinds of photos, all kinds of amazements, all kinds of incredible, and all kinds of news sharing.
Xin Weiyang left the four old people and children, went to his wife's side, and imprinted a deep kiss on her forehead: "Wife, it's hard work." β
Yan Rushun raised her head and saw that her husband couldn't hide his joy all over his body, his eyes were shining, and a warm current slowly crossed his heart.
She hugged Xin Weiyang and whispered, "Husband, you have worked hard too!"
Xin Weiyang smiled: "From now on, you will be a great mother." β
Yan Rushun stuck out her tongue: "I still need the child's father to give me a lot of advice-I used to think about being a single mother if I couldn't find my husband, but now I know: Husband, I really can't do it without you." β
The words were lingering, which made Xin Weiyang feel heartbroken, but it was actually her true thoughts.
Look at how many things have happened before and after, how difficult it is to come alone.
The four old men finally finished drying the baby and found that it was already noon, so they began to discuss what Yan Rushun would eat at noon, but they accidentally quarreled again.
Xin's mother said: "Boil some bone broth, which not only replenishes calcium but also promotes lactation. β
Yan's mother said, "No, no, no." Shun Shun had just finished the operation, and his intestinal peristalsis had not recovered, so he couldn't eat anything, at most he drank some rice soup. β
Xin's mother was disappointed: "I have no milk, and I only drink some rice soup, when can we let our baby eat enough milk?"
Mother Yan comforted: "After you fart, you can eat something good slowly." β
So the whole family began to wait for Yan Rushun to fart, but this fart didn't come for half a day when it was supposed to come.
Xin's mother asked every hour, "Did you fart?"
Yan Rushun looked embarrassed.
When I was depressed, the insurance sales came to the door, and I very enthusiastically recommended everyone to buy critical illness insurance plus education savings for the newborn child.
Xin Mu waved her hand impatiently: "No, no, no." β
Yan Rushun stopped people. She has done insurance, so naturally she doesn't need to listen to those fancy introductions, and asks the key points concisely and clearly, just say "I want to discuss with my husband", and then leave a business card to send people out.
When Xin's mother heard this, she was dissatisfied again: "Shun Shun, the child is still so young, you won't buy her any more insurance, right?"
Yan Rushun smiled: "Mom, insurance must be bought, the younger you are, the more cost-effective it is to buy insurance." β
Xin's mother couldn't help but lower her voice and persuade: "Don't think I'm wordy." Have you done the math, you spend money like water to have a child, what kind of prenatal checkups, buy such and such things, invite confinement sisters, save umbilical cord blood, etc., I counted it for you a little bit yesterday, hey, hey, it's almost 100,000! This child has just been born!"
Is it almost 100,000 before you know it?
Yan Rushun didn't know that she had spent a lot of money during this time, but she didn't have the heart to calculate this account, and Xin Weiyang mentioned a budget of 200,000 to 400,000 yuan a year.
Even so, knowing that she had squandered 100,000 in a short period of time, she was also surprised.
But then she stabilized: 100,000 is 100,000!
When she asked herself, she felt that every dollar she spent was not an unnecessary expense, but a decision made on the basis of full consideration of the family's financial resources.
Xin Weiyang said that the money earned is spent on his wife and children.
She smiled and told her mother-in-law: "The concept of financial management now is not to spend as little money as possible, but to see whether the money is worth it." Mom, if you think I'm not worth the money, tell me and I'll fix it. However, it is really necessary to buy children's insurance. β
Xin's mother said: "I know that insurance is necessary, but there is no children's mutual aid fund in this city that can be bought, only a few hundred a year, and the child can be reimbursed if he gets sick or something, so why spend tens of thousands of dollars every year to buy commercial insurance?"
"Commercial insurance is a long-term investment, which is also one of the basic concepts of financial management. β
Xin's mother still had to debate with her daughter-in-law, Xin Weiyang saw that his wife was tired, and quickly interjected: "Mom, now Shun Shun and Jian Jian are fine, I don't think there are so many people to guard, why don't we divide labor and cooperate?"
Father Xin asked casually: "What division of labor and cooperation?"
As soon as this question was answered, the topic was taken away, and Xin's mother had to turn her attention around.
Xin Weiyang said: "Didn't we discuss moving to a bungalow after giving birth to a child? I think we moved our house while Shun Shun was hospitalized in the past few days, and when we were discharged from the hospital, we just went directly to live in the bungalow." β
This proposal was unanimously endorsed.
Originally, Xin Weiyang and Yan Rushun planned to move in the late stages of pregnancy, but at that time, the doctor said that the child had heart problems, which scared everyone's hearts. Xin's mother took the opportunity to claim that when she was pregnant, the big things in the house could not be moved, and it was easy to move the fetus when she moved-I don't know where I heard it, but everyone had the idea that more things are better than less, so they acquiesced to Xin's mother's statement.
Now that we have moved, everyone is at ease.
Moreover, after going back, there are more confinement sisters-in-law Sister Wu, no matter how many Xin's mother, Yan's mother and others are, the nest can't accommodate it at all, and it won't work if you don't move.
So, everyone began to discuss how to divide the labor.
Yan's father wants to cook three meals a day for Yan Rushun, and he must stay. Sister Wu is always by Yan Rushun's mother and son's side, and there is no shortage of manpower here.
In the end, Xin Weiyang took the lead, and Yan's mother, Xin's mother and Xin's father helped to move the house together.
Just do it!
Soon, the surroundings of Yan Rushun's bed were cleaned.
She was finally able to focus all her energy on the lovely Jane.
Compared with the other two children in the same room, Jian Jian basically didn't cry much, ate and slept, slept and pulled, ate and ate after pulling, and slept after eating, completely like a pink pig, Yan Rushun had decided to give her an English name "peppa".
Sister Wu is very careful, every time Jian Jian pulls the poop, she has to use a basin to fetch water, clean her little fart, and then replace it with a dry and refreshing diaper.
Jian Jian looked comfortable throughout the whole process, and seemed to be served very comfortably.
Yan Rushun felt novel about Sister Wu's every action, and kept asking her how to know if the child wanted to feed or stink, how to know when she should hydrate or feed, and how to change diapers so that the sheets would not stain.
Sister Wu happily passed on her experience and told her that babies have been cultivating living habits since the first day of feeding, so although they do not deliberately pursue the time interval of feeding, they still try to get closer to the regularity.
Because of Yan Rushun's humble attitude, Sister Wu chatted very well, so she taught her experience and said: Every time you feed, it is best to feed the child to the fullest, otherwise the child will have to eat after sleeping for a while, and he will eat after a short while, and he will not eat well, and he will not sleep well, which is not good for physical development.
This Yan Rushun has read books, and children need to sleep well to grow up easily, and it is also good for brain development. What Sister Wu said was indeed a good word.
At this point, she was completely relieved of Sister Wu, and she learned from her whenever she had the opportunity.
Sister Wu teaches more direct and practical skills than in books, such as how to keep the child from eating and sleeping at the same time, how to make her eat well, how to make her feel more comfortable, etc., which are not seen in books.
Yan Rushun felt that he had opened up a new world and was tirelessly absorbing new knowledge.
After that, she imparts experience to any expectant mother, the first sentence always says: you must learn from the confinement lady well, the greatest value of the confinement lady is not to help you take a month of children, but to help you establish an optimal process for raising children, so that you can learn important skills with children, and help you understand the basic laws and characteristics of children's growth and development.
These are valuable lessons!
In the next time in the hospital, Yan Rushun mainly did three things:
The first is to learn from the confinement lady;
the second is to wait for Xin Weiyang to come over, and then meet with relatives and friends who have come to visit their mother and daughter;
The third is to get out of bed and walk - to be honest, the wound has not fully recovered, and it really hurts to walk. Every time she burst into tears, she insisted on going for a walk.
Otherwise, what if there is a blood clot? Not to mention her mother's ear and face, she herself has also seen on the news reports that the new mother did not get out of bed for a month after confinement, and finally died of blood clots.
Therefore, she couldn't help but feel that giving birth to a child is really thunder everywhere!
"What do you think, what about the name Xin An?" One day before being discharged from the hospital, Xin Weiyang came over and told his wife the results of his meditation for several days.
Yan Rushun raised her head slightly and thought about it: "Do you want our daughter to be safe?"
"Yes. β
She couldn't help but want to laugh, this was similar to her Jane.
"Okay. She said, "We ask nothing else but peace and joy for her." β
The next day, Xin Weiyang issued the child's birth certificate, and then the whole family welcomed Yan Rushun's mother and daughter back to their new home.
The bungalows are spacious and bright, clean and airy, and the municipal park is outside the window, which is much better than the small nest, and everyone is very satisfied.
The environment is pleasant, but the real challenge is only now beginning.
On the way, Jian Jian pulled the stinky smell, crying and fussing uncomfortably, seeing that she was about to get home, and it was inconvenient to wash her farts in the car, Yan Rushun, Xin's mother, and Yan's mother had to take turns coaxing her: "Bear with me, let's change when we get home." β
Finally, everyone escorted the little guy in Sister Wu's arms home, and then there was a big battle to change diapers.
"Xin Hao, hurry up and boil water!"
"Quickly bring out the basin and the handkerchief. β
"Mom, where do you put these clothes?
"Old Yan, hurry up and cook. β
Moved in a hurry and everything was a mess.
Yan Rushun saw that so many people were circling around the little ancestor, and he didn't bother to grab a seat, so he turned on the computer and got a form to paste on the door.
Xin's mother curiously came up to take a look, and saw that it was a timetable that recorded the child's feeding, defecating, and sleeping, and couldn't help laughing: "Ouch, Shunshun, why are you so nerdy, do these things also need to be recorded?"
"You have to know what you know. Yan Rushun said seriously, "Whether it is an expert or Sister Wu, the first few months of the baby's birth is an important time to cultivate living habits, and we have to pay attention to it." β
Then Yan's father and mother also came to join in the fun, and they all felt funny after watching it.
However, in order to sell their daughter a face, the two held back and didn't show it, but said: "It's a good thing that Shun Shun has a heart, well, it's a good thing." β
Yan Rushun didn't fail to see everyone's disapproval, but since the family meeting, she didn't expect her two parents to understand her, so she cheekily recorded the time when Jian Jian had just pooped according to her own plan.
And that's not all.
She beckoned Xin Weiyang again: "The MP3 file I brought back from the academy before can be put now." β
"Don't worry, it's already been downloaded to the system. Xin Weiyang clicked a few times on the sound control panel on the wall, and a soft female voice began to pronounce "Zi Yue" against the background of Chinese classical music.
Xin's mother gasped as if she had knocked her teeth, and asked with a smile: "Shun Shun, what are you putting here?"
"The Analects, and the Tao Te Ching and the like. β
"Ouch," Xin's mother covered her mouth and laughed tremblingly, "How old is the child, you start to put the four books and five classics, do we still want to hang a banner in our house: How many days are there six thousand days before the college entrance examination?"
