Chapter 397: The Birthmark
In late autumn, the weather is sunny.
Guoguo and Zheng were sleeping soundly in the room. The baby, who was less than a month old, would sleep after eating and was getting fatter day by day.
Mrs. Lin was drying chrysanthemums in the yard.
Mrs. Huang was fiddling with her precious herbs.
"Xiaobei gave birth to two children at once and almost died. For women, giving birth is like stepping into the gates of hell!" Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Huang were chatting.
"That's right. I've been pregnant with five children, but none of them survived. The man said that my body was poisonous and that I had poisoned all the children to death. Then he ran away from home. I have lived alone for decades. How could the man know that a woman risks her life to give birth!"
Mrs. Huang said with a wry smile.
After hearing what Huang Po had said about her life, Mrs. Lin realized that she was a woman with a miserable life. She didn't want to talk about her sad story, so she changed the subject.
"Thank Grandma for making nourishing soup for her every day, but the two little kids eat too much, and Xiaobei's milk is not enough!"
Grandma Huang looked up and said, "Children are important, but adults are more important. It takes time for your body to recover. If it doesn't work, find a wet nurse. The two little ones are so hungry, Xiaobei alone can't do it."
Mother Lin sighed and said, "Xiaobei disagrees. She insists on feeding the baby herself. She doesn't want her baby to drink other people's milk. I don't know where her crooked ideas come from. Which royal family or noble family feeds their own milk? Even the emperor was raised by a wet nurse..."
"Hey, didn't Xiaobei say that we should feed the milk powder? I've lived for more than 40 years, and the milk of pigs, dogs, cows and sheep is always watery. If it's powdered, how can it flow out of the head..."
Mrs. Huang pulled a piece of herb straw and put it in her mouth to chew, "Pooh, so bitter..."
"If it doesn't work, I'll go make some millet soup for Guoguo and Zhengzheng and feed it to them. Shitou and Xiaobei grew up eating that. Look, they are tall and strong, not stupid. But Shitou is not as smart as his sister..."
Huang Po objected, "No, a baby in confinement cannot drink millet soup. I'll go to South City and buy a dairy goat. Goat milk is better than millet soup!"
Grandma Lin agreed, saying that she fed her child millet soup at that time because she had no money.
Ji Xiaobei was listening to the two old women chattering outside while she was feeding Guoguo with a bottle.
Guoguo waved his little hands and drank hard with grunts.
Zheng Zheng, who was standing next to him, also woke up and started crying loudly in anxiety.
When Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Lin heard the crying, they dropped what they were holding and quickly ran into the house.
I saw Ji Xiaobei putting something into Zhengzheng's mouth.
"Xiaobei, the child can't eat yet, you can't feed him carelessly!"
Mrs. Lin rushed over and snatched the bottle from her hand.
A transparent glass bottle with a woman's nipple on it.
The two old women stared with wide eyes.
Zheng Zheng couldn't get any milk, so he opened his mouth and started crying in grievance.
"Mom, Mrs. Huang, this is the milk bottle. It's made of glass. Jiaojiao gave it to me. Give it to Zhengzheng quickly!" Ji Xiaobei explained calmly.
Mrs. Lin said hurriedly, "Hey, eat it, eat it right away!"
She carefully put the nipple into Zhengzheng's mouth. Zhengzheng opened his mouth, took the nipple in, and started sucking it.
Mrs. Lin looked at her little grandson lovingly: "Old Huang, look at how strong and cute this child is..."
Grandma Huang came over and said, "Look at these big eyes. They look like Xiaobei. This child will definitely become a high-ranking official when he grows up. Grandma Huang is waiting to benefit from your influence..."
"Guoguo fell asleep again. Her eyelashes are like little fans. She will be stunningly beautiful when she grows up! Maybe she can enter the palace and become a concubine... It's all because of me who took good care of Xiaobei. She gave birth to two such cute little ones!"
"It's because of my mother-in-law, Xiaobei, that I am the best. A good mother can give birth to good children..."
Ji Xiaobei smiled. The two old ladies flattered the two children every day and they smiled when they saw them.
She shook her clothes lightly and lay down.
The milk bottle officially came out today, so she didn't have to worry about the two old ladies asking questions. As long as it was good for Guoguo and Zhengzheng, they would accept it without hesitation.
Even if they cannot accept it, two people can convince each other to accept it.
The baby’s full moon is coming soon.
The two old ladies have been busy with this matter these days.
Over the past month, Old Madam Fu has been in very good spirits and has come to see the children every day. Every time, she would leave reluctantly only after Madam Zhang dragged her away.
Fu Jichang hasn't come back since he went to the capital. I heard from Nanny Zhang that he has become busy with official duties again.
Working social animals have no choice!
But even though he was not around, he still received a lot of gifts.
He brought in all kinds of precious supplements, strange foods, and a lot of fruits and vegetables from the west, but was still scolded by Old Lady Fu.
How can a woman who just gave birth eat this?
Later, the delicacies sent to her were warm and nourishing. The old lady smiled happily and asked Madam Hu to cook some for Ji Xiaobei to drink.
She drank ginseng, bird's nest and various cordyceps until she felt like vomiting.
Just want to eat something salty.
Zheng Guo put away all the food in the refrigerator and put in a lot of tonic oral liquid.
He also wrote a letter to give many instructions:
Don't be greedy, don't be greedy for cold, and take good care of yourself...
Ji Xiaobei: The two old women slept on my left and right, and I didn’t even have a chance to eat.
It’s almost one month old and I don’t have much milk left.
Breastfeeding is really not a good thing.
There were two meat balls hanging in his arms, one for each child. They would suck them hard once they were caught, just like two vampires.
After sucking blood from the vampires for a month, the brother and sister became plump and white, and Ji Xiaobei also gained weight visibly!
Oh oh oh!
Finally unloaded the goods and started to train for a perfect body.
Seeing the strange expression on Ji Xiaobei's face, Mrs. Lin said to her, "Even if it's a full moon, you can't go out casually. It's cold outside and you're weak. You still need to take good care of yourself."
Ji Xiaobei looked down and saw that he couldn’t even grab all the fat on his belly.
Yes, it’s quite weak!
At 10 p.m., it is time for the two little ones to rub each other.
Old Mrs. Fu didn't take a nap and sneaked over when Aunt Zhang wasn't paying attention.
Ji Xiaobei took off his shirt, revealing his chubby face, which was very cute. Huang Po lifted his arms and wiped his armpits, and the little guy giggled.
This caused several old ladies to giggle.
After wiping and wrapping his upper body, Ji Xiaobei wiped his lower body, then turned him over and let him lie on his legs.
There is a striking birthmark on the left buttock.
Mrs. Lin joked, "The birthmark is on the buttocks. Mrs. Huang, is this baby destined to be rich?"
Old Mrs. Fu took a step forward, was greatly surprised, and murmured, "Chang'er!"
Everyone was stunned.
Why are you thinking of your grandson while washing your child's butt?
Ji Xiaobei smiled somewhat awkwardly.
I thought: Is the old lady confused again?
"Aunt Fu, your grandson hasn't come back yet. Do you miss him?" Grandma Huang said with a smile.
Old Mrs. Fu shook her head seriously and reached out to touch the birthmark on the child's butt.
"My son Chang'er has a red birthmark here, exactly the same, exactly the same..."
