Chapter 68 Confinement
Chapter 68 Confinement
Wei Shuqing is in good health and will be discharged from the hospital soon.
On the day she was discharged from the hospital, she was wrapped up tightly and even wore a floral headscarf.
In the words of Wei's mother, "Pregnant women during this period shouldn't be exposed to the wind, or they'll easily get headaches. Don't think my headscarf is ugly; it can protect your head."
Therefore, Wei Shuqing had no choice but to follow her mother's instructions and put on the headscarf obediently. It was warm.
Wang Chenan specifically asked for leave from his unit. He walked in front carrying large and small bags of luggage, while the two old ladies, Wei's mother and Wang's mother, each held a child.
As soon as the group walked out of the obstetrics department, they saw Qi Zhifang sitting on a chair outside waiting for the test results.
Wei Shuqing was wrapped tightly, and Qi Zhifang did not recognize her.
But Qi Zhifang looked so old and haggard that Wei Shuqing almost couldn't recognize her.
Qi Zhifang was still dressed very fashionably, wearing the most fashionable lilac coat and light yellow turtleneck sweater, but the thick powder could not hide her old age, and her delicate eyebrows and eyes were also wrinkled.
She aged much faster than in her previous life.
Wei Shuqing thought about it and felt happy. This was the life they should each live.
Wei's father had already been waiting at the door on a cart. Besides the thick bedding, there were also two children on the cart.
Niuniu and Niuniu rushed to get into Wei Shuqing's arms: "Mom, Mom, we miss you so much!"
"I miss my mom more!"
"I want it more!"
Wei Shuqing really missed her two children and held them in her arms, one in each hand: "Mom misses you too. I'll go home and make you something delicious!"
“I love my mom the most!”
"Love Mom!"
The mother and her two sons were having a great time together, leaving their father Wang Chenan aside.
Wang Chenan could only sigh: "Mom is their biological child, but Dad is just like an adopted child, these two little calves."
He had gotten used to the fact that the other children in his family liked Wei Shuqing more, but he couldn't help feeling jealous.
Because Wei Shuqing had given birth to a baby and the weather had turned cold, the family lit the stove early.
Wei's father bought a lot of coal with his own money, and rode a cart to the suburbs to chop firewood and make charcoal himself, piling it into a small hill in a corner of the yard.
"Don't let my daughter get cold!"
He felt sorry for the hardships Wei Shuqing had suffered in the Qi family and just wanted to be doubly good to his daughter.
The two old ladies, Wei's mother and Wang's mother, simply took the two children to bed at night so that Wei Shuqing could have a good rest. They had all given birth to children and knew that giving birth was a journey through hell, so they all hoped that Wei Shuqing could have a good rest.
Wei Shuqing did not disappoint the two old people's kindness. She went to bed on time every day and drank soup and water on time. She kept herself rosy-cheeked and had plenty of milk. She fed her two children and made them plump and white, which was very pleasing to the eye.
Wang Chenan almost looked through an entire Chinese dictionary before naming his two children. The youngest son was named Wang Zhuo, which means to be as beautiful as a jade; the youngest daughter was named Wang Yao, hoping that she would be as beautiful as a jade.
Wei Shuqing thought for a moment and said, "Both names sound nice and have good meanings, but they're a bit tongue-twisting. We still need to give them nicknames at home. If you ask me, I'd say Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan, okay?"
The name is somewhat similar to the panda she saw in the zoo in her later years, but it is catchy and has a good meaning.
Wei Shuqing now sincerely hopes that her family will always be together and reunited.
Thus, the names of the two children were decided.
The two old ladies' busy and happy days did not last long. The deadline for their leave was about to expire, and they had to go back to work to make a living.
Fortunately, Wei Shuqing's sister-in-law learned the news, settled her two sons at her mother's home, and rushed to the city to take care of Wei Shuqing during her confinement.
Mrs. Wei brought a lot of nutritional supplements this time, including old hens, ducks, eggs, and brown sugar. She filled a big bag with them, which weighed down her petite body so much that she couldn't even stand up straight.
"Sister-in-law, you came all the way here to take care of me. I don't know what to say!"
Even though Wei Shuqing was eloquent, she couldn't say anything nice when faced with her sister-in-law's deep affection and friendship. She thanked her sister-in-law from the bottom of her heart.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mrs. Wei swiftly washed the diaper she had just changed. "Last time you were in confinement, you suffered so much. I felt so sorry for you. This time, I won't let my sister suffer again!"
When she was in confinement after giving birth, it was Wei's mother and Wei Shuqing who took care of her.
Before Wei Shuqing got married, she helped her take care of the children.
A heart for a heart. Now Wei Shuqing needs help, so as her sister-in-law, she naturally cannot be vague.
"Sister-in-law, please stop busying yourself. You must have worked hard all the way here. Let's eat something first."
As Wei Shuqing spoke, she took out a box of snacks and the fried dough sticks that Wei's father had bought, and poured a bowl of hot water for Wei's wife.
She wanted to make a hot meal for Mrs. Wei, but before leaving, Wei's mother and Wang's mother repeatedly warned her not to touch cold water, so she had to give up.
Mrs. Wei finished her work and sat down to eat a piece of shaqi ma: "Shuqing, don't be busy. You are pregnant. Just take a good rest."
"Then I'd be useless." Wei Shuqing said with a smile, and took a new quilt and placed it in the empty room. "Sister-in-law, you can sleep here tonight. If you're hungry, there are snacks in the living room and kitchen. You can help yourself."
She was afraid that Mrs. Wei would not feel comfortable living here, so she specially chose a soft and thick quilt.
Mrs. Wei looked at the two sleeping children and suggested, "We have space at home, and your brother has skills. Why don't you ask him to make two cradles? I heard they're very popular in the city now!"
Wei Shuqing's eyes lit up. Wei's father was a good carpenter and he passed his skills to his eldest brother Wei. Although his eldest brother's skills were not as sophisticated as Wei's father's, making a cradle was still a piece of cake.
She nodded: "Okay, then I have to trouble you again, big brother!"
"What's the trouble? It's no problem. I'll write to your brother and ask him to start cradle!"
Mrs. Wei has a generous personality. While she watched the two babies grow in love, she did not neglect Niu Niu. She picked up Niu Niu and put him on her lap.
"Our Niu Niu is a big brother now!"
"Yes, aunt!"
Niu Niu raised his little head with a smug look, which made Wei Shuqing and Wei Dasao laugh.
And at this time Qi Zhifang's home.
After the abortion, Qi Zhifang lay on the bed with a look of grief on her face.
This time she lost not only a child, but also her fertility.
In a tit-for-tat situation, Qi Zhifang caused Lu Xiaoling to lose her child and fertility, and now she has suffered the same fate.
She finally felt the same way as Lu Xiaoling.
