Chapter 192 The Eldest Son
Chapter 192 The Eldest Son
Yun Xi was awakened by her son's crying.
She opened her eyes and found that the wet nurse was already on duty, holding the child and coaxing him.
However, the baby refused to listen and howled at the top of his lungs, his cries shaking the sky.
Mu Sheng followed Liu and said as he walked, "Ancestor, please keep your voice down. If you howl any more, you'll wake up your mother."
Chunyu, who was following anxiously nearby, was speechless after listening to this.
Yun Xi said, "What's wrong? Bring him here so I can take a look."
The wet nurse hurried over and handed the child to Yun Xi with a guilty look on her face.
As soon as the baby was in Yun Xi's arms, he stopped crying immediately and arched his little head towards her chest, asking for milk.
Yun Xi asked everyone to turn their backs so that she could feed her son.
The nurse and Chunyu both walked to the side obediently, turning their backs. Only Mu Sheng came over.
As long as it was him, Yun Xi wouldn't have to worry.
She lifted up the special nursing clothes and the baby immediately put his little head close to it, eating so eagerly that he almost choked her.
Mu Sheng was stunned! Is he that hungry?
Yun Xi patted him gently to comfort him and asked casually, "What happened just now?"
"My son woke up and groaned in bed. The nurse said he was hungry and saw you were sleeping so she wanted to feed him first. I hid aside and turned my back, then I heard him crying loudly. That woke you up."
"Look at him, he must be hungry. The nurse is right."
Chunyu said from the side: "Madam, Sister Li wanted to feed the little boy, but he refused to eat. As soon as she was about to feed him, he started to struggle and cried while struggling."
Yun Xi laughed when she heard this. When she took the child over just now, she saw that the child didn't shed a single tear, but was just crying.
"He prefers his mother's milk. From now on, the nurse will help to comfort the child and won't have to feed him."
"Yes, ma'am."
Nanny Li expressed her understanding. Which child doesn’t like their mother?
Mu Sheng looked at his son eating happily and said to Yun Xi, "He can eat too much. Didn't he just eat?"
"Newborn babies are like this. Even though they take a long time to eat, they don't eat much. They get hungry after a while. When they are hungry, they need to be fed. Unlike adults, who eat several meals a day on time, they need to be fed according to their needs. It is possible for them to eat eight or ten meals a day."
Mu Sheng had a look of disbelief, with the words "Don't fool me" written all over his face. "I saw him swallowing all the time, how could he not eat much?"
Yun Xi was speechless: "He is so small, how big can his stomach be? How much can it hold? Besides, he is growing fast now. If you don't believe me, just wait. After a full month, he will be much taller. Of course he has to eat more."
Yun Xi thought, this is the baby's first growth spurt. Seven or eight centimeters a month is not a big deal.
The baby is full, but I am also tired and sweaty.
Yun Xi wiped him gently with a cotton towel.
He was awake now, his eyes were open, pure and bright, and he looked very pleasing at first glance.
Yun Xi couldn't help but tease him: "Baby, do you see your mother? The one next to you is your father."
The little baby has an innocent face, with his mouth open and an unconscious smile.
Newborn babies don't have emotions like happiness or sadness. Everything is an instinctive reaction. If they cry, it must be because they have needs, or they are hungry, or they have diarrhea, or they feel uncomfortable. It's not because they are sad.
For example, although he appears to be smiling, it is actually just a natural reaction and does not mean that he is happy.
Basically, it takes until the baby is one month old before he or she starts to express emotions. If he or she smiles at that time, it means he or she is happy.
Mu Sheng didn't know this. When he saw the baby smile, he was immediately very happy: "He smiled. He must like me."
Yun Xi: "..."
You think too much, really. His eyesight is not very good at the moment, and he can't even see what you look like clearly.
But it is impossible to spoil the fun.
Yun Xi nodded and agreed: "Baby will like daddy and mommy back then. Isn't that right, son?"
The baby continued to grin and scratched himself with his little hands.
Mu Sheng stretched out a finger to him, which he grabbed.
The grip was quite tight; he pulled at it, but nothing happened.
Thinking that he didn't use enough force, he applied a little more strength, but it still didn't move.
And when he applied more force, the baby clenched even tighter.
Mu Sheng: “…”
Yun Xi watched with a smile, thinking that Mu Sheng had some talent in amusing children.
The system laughed in her mind: "Host, your son is very strong. Your husband can't pull his fingers out."
Yun Xi: "..."
She looked up at Mu Sheng and saw that he looked a little embarrassed.
She also laughed in her heart and said to the system: "My son probably thinks that once something is in my hands, it is mine and no one can take it away."
The father and son were in a stalemate for a while, and the baby probably felt bored and slowly let go of his hands.
Mu Sheng finally withdrew his fingers.
Yun Xi went to check the baby's little hand and said to Mu Sheng, "Look, your fingers are so rough, the baby's little hand is rubbed red."
Mu Sheng: “!!!”
He looked at Yun Xi in disbelief, stretched out his fingers in front of her, and said, "Look at my hand, is it damaged by him?"
Yun Xi burst out laughing.
"That's not so exaggerated."
Mu Sheng said aggrievedly: "Really, this guy is very strong. He grabbed me and I couldn't break free. I didn't dare to use too much force for fear of hurting him."
Yun Xi blew on him twice perfunctorily: "Alright."
Mu Sheng: “…”
He seems a bit childish!
"You haven't had lunch yet? Go and eat. I don't have anything to do here. Just stay alone."
After Yun Xi finished speaking, she yawned, thinking that she didn’t get enough sleep.
"When the baby falls asleep, I'll sleep a little longer."
Mu Sheng nodded: "I'll put the baby back in the crib, you just lie down now, maybe he will fall asleep by himself in a while."
Mu Sheng said as he was about to pick up the child.
Yun Xi: "...Can you hug?"
Mu Sheng retracted his hand again: "Teach me."
Although Yun Xi explained it very clearly, Mu Sheng was still nervous. When he finally held the child in his arms, he was already sweating and his whole body was stiff.
Mu Sheng didn't dare to move, even his eyes seemed to be unable to move, he just uttered: "Xixi, he is too soft. I dare not move, how can I put him down?"
Yun Xi: "..."
"Just put it down. Bend over, put your arms against the bed first, and take out the hands that are supporting his legs and buttocks. Let his lower body touch the bed first, use your free hand to support his head, and then take out the arm that is supporting his neck. That's it."
Mu Sheng trembled with trepidation and followed Yun Xi's steps strictly. He finally put his son back into the crib, stood up and breathed a sigh of relief.
"No, do you really need to?" Yun Xi laughed at him.
Mu Sheng came back to his senses, his nervousness was gone, and his excitement was coming. He was inspired by his success in holding his son, and he was eager to do it: "I want to hold him again."
Yun Xi: "...Then just hug me."
"You command me."
"……All right."
In this way, one person directed and the other practiced, picking up the child gently, then putting him down gently, picking him up, and putting him down again...
Until the baby can't stand it anymore and starts crying loudly.
Chunyu, nanny: "..."
Yun Xi quickly lay down and said to Mu Sheng, "It just so happens that you already know how to hold a baby. Pick him up, walk around the room, pat him gently, and coax him."
Mu Sheng: “…”
He resigned himself to his fate, picked up the child, and walked slowly around the room.
The baby's crying slowly stopped.
Mu Sheng said proudly: "Xixi, look, I've coaxed you."
In response to him, the sound of Yun Xi's even breathing came out.
He looked at the sleeping Yun Xi, then at his yawning son. Let's keep going.
He put the baby down only after he coaxed him to sleep, leaving Chunmei and the wet nurse to look after him, and then he tiptoed out to have lunch.
When Mu Jinyan came back at noon, he found the yard very quiet, even quieter than usual.
He was also infected and spoke in a lower voice unconsciously.
He looked at the maids and servants following him and said, "Keep your voices down."
Although they didn't understand why, the maids and servants nodded and moved quietly.
"Don't follow me, just go and do your own thing. I'm going to go see mother."
A five-year-old child already has a lot of rules to follow. He knew his mother was about to give birth and his father was staying at home with her, so he went to find a martial arts master to practice martial arts on his own these few days.
He walked to Yunxi's main room. There was no one outside. Mother wasn't here? Usually, she would lie on the couch by the window and wait for him to come back.
He was about to walk towards Yun Xi's bedroom when Chun Yu heard the noise outside. He guessed that he had returned and came out to greet him.
"Eldest son."
Mu Jinyan: “???”
"Aunt Chunyu, where is mother?"
Chun Yu smiled and said, "Madam is asleep. She just had a baby and is tired."
"The younger brother is out?" Mu Jinyan was immediately excited. No wonder he was upgraded to become the eldest son.
"Yes. He is asleep too. Go in and see him."
"Yeah." Mu Jinyan nodded and quickened his pace as he walked into the bedroom.
He saw that the small bed prepared for his younger brother had been placed next to Yun Xi's big bed. He walked over and took a look at the small bed, and his eyes widened immediately.
My brother is so small!
His hair was very short and softly stuck to his head.
The little hand is raised next to the head.
So cute.
Mu Jinyan looked at Yun Xi, his mother was sleeping. He looked at Chun Yu again and asked, "Aunt Chun Yu, can I touch my brother?"
"Sure. Just be gentle and don't wake him up. He cries really loudly!"
"I understand, hehe."
He stretched out his finger and poked his brother's cheek, which immediately sank into a pit.
He pinched the little hand again; the fingers were so thin and soft!
Pinch your face again.
Have a great time.
"When will he wake up?"
"I don't know. It will be soon. He will probably wake up when he is hungry."
"What does he eat when he's hungry?"
"Drink milk."
At this time, Mu Jinyan noticed that there was a stranger in the room. He glanced at Nanny Li and asked, "Are you my brother's nanny?"
Li took a step forward and said, "My eldest son, you are well. I, Li, am here to take care of my youngest son."
Mu Jinyan nodded. Now, he is the eldest son, and his younger brother is the youngest son. Just like his father and second uncle. His father has always been in charge of his second uncle, and in the future he will also have to take care of his younger brother and make his younger brother listen to him. Hehe.
"Aunt Chunyu, please bring me a chair. I'll sit here and wait for my brother to wake up."
"it is good."
Chunyu smiled and went to move a chair, and at the same time asked someone to bring water and food to Mu Jinyan.
He just sat here quietly, looking at his brother and eating.
Chunyu felt that the eldest son looked like he was eating with the baby.
