A 1970s mom raises a cute baby, and a crazy boss spoils her

Gu Qinghuan also asked about some precautions and when he could go home.

The doctor said that although she was born prematurely, she was sent to the hospital in time and did not suffer much pain during delivery. After giving her a few bottles of fluids, she can be taken home tomorrow morning to be nursed.

However, the weather is still hot now, so make sure the wound is ventilated and don't cover it. After ten days or half a month, you can scrub it with mugwort water.

When Gu Qinghuan returned to the ward, Yan Lijun had already woken up and was breastfeeding the baby under the guidance of Lin Xiaomeng.

Xu Huaiyu also came back after paying the fee, muttering to himself that it would be better to listen to the fucking midwife in the village, as it is so expensive to give birth to a baby in the hospital.

It wasn't expensive, but it was definitely more expensive than hiring a midwife, he kept grumbling.

Xu Huaizhi dragged him out and gave him a lesson.

Gu Qinghuan wanted to comfort Yan Lijun, but seeing that she didn't care at all, he stopped talking.

Yan Lijun devoted all her attention to her son and didn't even give Xu Huaiyu a single glance. He didn't deserve it.

She and her child had finally made it through this terrifying gate. From now on, she would never pin her hopes on others again.

Xu Huaiyu can leave if he wants, and she can support the child on her own.

People always say that a mother is strong, and she doesn't know where she gets the courage and faith from.

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when we finished cleaning up.

Gu Qinghuan told Xu Huaiyu about the precautions for taking care of a woman who has just given birth, not caring whether he would listen or not, as it was his duty anyway.

Xu Huaiyu was arranged to stay and take care of Yan Lijun and the child, and the cart was also left behind so that he could take Yan Lijun and the child home tomorrow.

Xu Huaizhi took his two sisters-in-law Lin Xiaomeng and Gu Qinghuan back home.

The commune hospital was small to begin with and could not accommodate so many of them overnight. Besides, they had children at home, so they had to go back.

Gu Qinghuan was absent-minded on the way and even stepped on a stone and fell flat on his face. Fortunately, it was night and no one saw it, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.

Lin Xiaomeng saw that she was worried and asked tentatively, "What's wrong with you? Are you thinking about the third brother's family?"

"Yes and no." Gu Qinghuan answered ambiguously.

"Sister-in-law, did you have urinary incontinence and uterine prolapse after giving birth to Dacheng?"

Lin Xiaomeng immediately understood why she had been distracted.

"Of course I did. The Xu family is not a good family. After I gave birth to Dacheng, he came back to take care of me for a few days. Those few days were fine.

As soon as he left, his mother forced me to get up and cook, as if the Xu family had not eaten before I got married.

It wasn't just the urine incontinence. Holding the baby all night long made my back and waist sore, and my hair fell out in clumps. I almost thought I was going bald, but luckily it grew back.

When you become a new mother, you don’t know anything and your mother-in-law won’t tell you anything. You have to figure everything out on your own. You have to endure ten times the hardships she has endured.

My milk is good, and my baby ate less when he was just born, so the milk was naturally saved.

At that time, I didn't know that I should squeeze out the excess milk, so I just let it stay inside. After waking up after a night's sleep, my breasts were as swollen as rocks, and they had swelled all the way up to my armpits, forming a huge bulge that I couldn't press.

The child is hungry and can't suck it out.

I asked other women in the village who had given birth, and they said that this was due to milk engorgement, and that I had to massage the breasts quickly and squeeze out the excess milk after softening them, otherwise the breasts would become inflamed, swollen, and festering.

It was so painful to knead my breasts. I can still remember it now. I was kneading them hard while tears were streaming down my face. The pain was almost like giving birth.

After giving birth, my qi and blood are deficient, and I feel weak all over. If I'm not careful, I will be covered in sweat.

It looks like everything is the same, but only you know it is completely different.”

When Lin Xiaomeng was talking, Xu Huaizhi also pricked up his ears and listened. Knowing the suffering his wife had endured, he showed a slightly flattering look.

He was still young at that time and was devoted to his work. He did not understand how difficult it was for Lin Xiaomeng to be alone at home.

Of course, I trusted my mother too much. I didn't expect that she would torture her daughter-in-law in this way.

Fortunately, everything is getting better now.

Gu Qinghuan looked horrified.

"Is it so terrible? Then why do so many people still have children?" And many in their lifetime.

Isn't this like taking your own life for granted?

"Do women have the right to choose here? Everyone thinks having more children is a blessing, and they want to carry on the family line and raise children to provide for their old age.

But I have never thought about how much pain a person has to endure in giving birth to a life.

But I don’t regret giving birth to my Dacheng. One day when you give birth to a child, you will know this feeling.

A life that comes from you but is completely different from you. You nurture it and raise it up. Because of it, you become braver and stronger, completing the transformation from a girl to a mother.

When I was a girl, I would cry over the smallest things, but after becoming a mother, I feel like I can do anything.”

Gu Qinghuan understood, but not completely.

Just like Yan Lijun who just gave birth, when she got married a few months ago, she was still a rather immature girl.

But now I can be so strong for my children.

Today's performance made them look at him with new eyes.

A mother is strong. The process of transforming from a girl to a mother is destined to be difficult, but it is also mixed with happiness.

Gu Qinghuan still couldn't understand it, but she thought that if one day she and Xu Huaian could have a child together, she would be very happy.

Yan Lijun's case has come to an end, and this is all the help they can provide.

I intervened yesterday because my life was at stake.

After all, this is someone else's family affair. They can help for a while, but not for a lifetime. She has to walk the rest of the way on her own.

No one in this world is obligated to help anyone else, it all depends on your own conscience.

The next day, Xu Huaiyu pushed Yan Lijun and her son back, and along the way he happily told everyone that he had a son.

Although the newborn was a little thin, he was a boy after all. Xu Mingshan and Liu Guifang were very happy, and their attitude towards the mother and son became much better.

He just kept muttering that the child was too thin.

"You say I'm lazy and gluttonous just because I took two kilograms of cornmeal. How can I gain weight? It's easy to talk without any pain in the waist." Yan Lijun responded directly.

She is no longer afraid of Liu Guifang. The worst that can happen is that both of them will die. Anyway, she is pregnant now, so who is afraid of whom?

For the sake of her grandson, Liu Guifang didn't say anything and went to boil red eggs happily. She gave the eggs that the family had prepared earlier to Xu Meiling, as there were only a few left.

She even went to the village to buy eggs. It was a great joy to have a new baby in the family.

Because the child was too weak, his grandfather Xu Mingshan named him Xu Jian.

Yan Lijun also hoped that the child would be healthy and safe, so she did not object to the name.

She also gave the child a nickname, Zhuangzhuang.

Liu Guifang asked Xu Huaiyu to take the red eggs to her father-in-law's house to announce the good news. Only then did the Yan family know that their daughter had been born.

Yan Lijun had basically not interacted with her family for the past six months. She felt uncomfortable, and she had little time due to running back and forth. When her sister-in-law gave birth to a boy, she did not go to see him for fear of upsetting her.

When she gave birth this time, she thought no one from the Yan family would come, but unexpectedly, the whole family came, including her daughter-in-law, holding the child.

There were many gifts given, and Yan's mother even bought pigeons to make soup for her daughter.

The attitude is impeccable.

They came this time to take this opportunity to repair their relationship. It is impossible for them to treat their daughter, whom they raised with great difficulty, like an enemy for the rest of her life.

Liu Guifang would definitely not push away the gift that was delivered to her door, so she at least received the guest.

Although the nose is not a nose and the eyes are not eyes, the Yan family is in the wrong and can only tolerate it.

When Yan's mother saw that her daughter was so thin that she was just a bag of bones, and her little grandson was also skinny, tears started to flow down her face, and she kept shouting, "My daughter, you have suffered a lot."

In the past, Yan Lijun might have been moved, but now that she has become a mother herself, she realizes that her mother did not love her, or did not love her very much.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have pushed her into this state just to raise the dowry for his eldest brother.

Before leaving, Yan's mother repeatedly told Liu Guifang to make sure to give the nutritional supplements she brought to Yan Lijun.

Liu Guifang stewed the pigeon that night, and Yan Lijun only got a bowl of watery soup. Liu Guifang brought the meat and soup from the pot to Xu Meiling.

He also took away a bag of malted milk sent by the Yan family.

Yan Lijun got up to serve the meat. The pot was cleaner than her face. She was so angry that she wanted to chop someone.

Liu Guifang even said that she couldn't finish it all by herself, so she gave the remaining scraps to Xu Meiling.

He also said that Xu Meiling didn't have much milk and the child was crying because of hunger, so he brought malted milk over as well.

Yan Lijun was so angry that she almost had a fight with Liu Guifang. She asked Xu Huaiyu to get the malted milk back, otherwise she would take the child back to her parents' home.

She doesn't have much milk now, and the baby is so weak, so she will need malted milk later.

Liu Guifang refused to give in, saying that there were two bags at home so why couldn't one be given to Xu Meiling.

Yan Lijun asked her directly if she could give her half of the money in her pocket, but Liu Guifang remained silent.

Xu Huaiyu was a selfish person and naturally put his son first, so he immediately went to Xu Meiling's house to get the malted milk back.

In short, there is always a constant stream of big and small things happening in this family.
