Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 224 Confinement

Xu Qingmeng's breast milk is not enough, and everyone is getting a little anxious.

The midwife thought that the milk might not have come in yet, so she chased Gu Yunyi out and began to try various methods.

Of course, the most important thing is to let the child inhale more, and he also taught Xu Qingmeng a lot of knowledge.

Xu Qingmeng's face flushed red instantly. She forced herself to listen to the midwife's words and nodded casually.

The midwife left only after seeing that Xu Qingmeng had taken her words to heart.

Before leaving, one of the midwives walked up to her and whispered, "Actually, there's another method, simple and easy to use."

"What?" Xu Qingmeng asked instinctively.

"Young Master Gu," the midwife said with a smile.

Xu Qingmeng: "..."

She didn't want to be the kind of woman who understood instantly, but she made it so obvious.

"It's true, many women have their first child this way. If it doesn't work, let Young Master Gu try. You're husband and wife, what's wrong with that?"

"Cough cough."

Xu Qingmeng immediately felt embarrassed. Although they had already had a child, it had only been once between them.

Seeing that Xu Qingmeng was shy, the midwife didn't say anything and left.

After the midwife left, Madam He didn't stay any longer. She sent someone to the kitchen to prepare hot water, as the handkerchiefs, diapers, and clothes all needed to be scalded with hot water; there was still a lot to do.

Only after everyone was gone did Gu Yunyi go inside.

Xu Qingmeng is currently holding her child and trying her best.

Unfortunately, while I understood the theoretical knowledge, when it came to actually doing it, it wasn't quite the same.

When Gu Yunyi came in, he saw Xu Qingmeng's anxious expression.

"Mengniang, don't worry, Mother just said she went to prepare hot towels."

"But we still have to wait a long time, the little one is starving."

Gu Yunyi frowned as he looked at the two children.

"No, let's find a wet nurse!"

Xu Qingmeng shook her head. He Shi had mentioned finding a wet nurse before, but she had refused. She still felt that it was better for her to feed the child herself, and that the child would be closer to her in the future.

The method the midwife had mentioned echoed in her mind. She looked up at Gu Yunyi and said, "The midwife just mentioned a method. Why don't you give it a try?"

"What? How did I become that?" Gu Yunyi looked over with a puzzled expression.

A faint blush rose at the corners of Xu Qingmeng's eyes, her expression full of shyness, but she still nodded firmly.

······
A moment later, Mrs. He brought in a bowl of pig's trotter soup, followed by Xinting, who carried hot water and a towel.

"Mengniang, how is it? If it's not working, don't bother anymore. If necessary, find a wet nurse first. You might need another two days," Madam He said.

Before Xu Qingmeng could speak, Gu Yunyi said, "Mother, my sister and brother have eaten and are asleep."

"What? It's connected! That's great!" Mrs. He was overjoyed.

"How did this get through? I was thinking of waiting a few more days."

Xu Qingmeng looked embarrassed, and Gu Yunyi also looked uncomfortable, even unconsciously smacking his lips. Looking at the two of them, Madam He knew perfectly well what was going on; after all, she was an experienced woman, so she didn't ask any further questions. Only Xinting looked at them with a puzzled expression.

"Well, it's good that it's cleared up. This is pig's trotter soup that Xinting made to help with lactation, but it's a bit bland. You can eat this first, and we'll figure out some more variations later."

Xu Qingmeng nodded. This was the first time a young woman had ever been married, and she didn't think much of the postpartum meals, as she herself was eating light food.

Fortunately, after the lactation process was completed, the milk supply was still sufficient, even though the two children needed to be fed many times a day.

My older brother is stronger and eats more.

My younger sister is not so good. She eats very little, and her voice is weak and delicate. Everyone who sees her feels sorry for her.

And so, Xu Qingmeng began her postpartum confinement. Fortunately, one day she was able to get out of bed, but everyone disagreed and even hoped that she would stay in bed for a whole month.

Whenever she had the thought of getting out of bed, Gu Yunyi and Madam He would start nagging her about how if a woman didn't take good care of herself during her postpartum period, she would suffer from all sorts of pain later on.

He Shi had firsthand experience with the matter, while Gu Yunyi had been repeatedly instructed by the two midwives, so he took the matter very seriously.

Fortunately, it's winter now; if it were summer, Xu Qing would never have been able to stay here.

At that moment, Madam He was playing with the child. Xu Qingmeng looked up and saw that the door was slightly open, and Yun Sheng and Yun Mo were secretly watching from the doorway.

Xu Qingmeng said with a smile, "What are you doing? Why don't you come in?"

The child had just been born, and there were many things to do at home. Madam He had someone keep an eye on the two of them to prevent them from coming in and causing trouble.

Although Yun Sheng and Yun Mo know that their sister-in-law has given birth, they haven't seen her yet.

Upon hearing this, Madam He looked at the two of them and beckoned them in: "Come in quickly and close the door. Your sister-in-law can't be exposed to the wind."

Seeing that Madam He didn't scold them but instead let them in, the two quickly closed the door and ran to the cradle.

The brother and sister had just finished eating and were very energetic, especially the brother, who, perhaps because of his robust build, was noticeably less sleepy than his sister.

The older brother was babbling away, and Yun Sheng and Yun Mo's attention was quickly drawn to him.

Yun Sheng asked with a look of curiosity, "Mother, is this my eldest nephew?"

"Yes, this is your eldest nephew, and the one in red is your eldest niece," Madam He explained.

"Second brother, you're wrong. There are nephews and nieces," Yun Sheng said with a smile.

Yunmo was absent-minded. He was about to reach out and touch his brother when He Shi quickly slapped his hand away. "What are you doing? My nephew is still young. You can't just touch him like that."

"Oh." Yunmo withdrew his hand with a regretful expression.

Although they didn't run into them, they were so cute! The two of them quickly started playing with them, just like their older brother, babbling and making noise. The way they were so engrossed in the game was comparable to that of He Shi and Gu Yunyi.

The two children didn't stay in the house for long. Firstly, children are naturally careless, and Mengniang shouldn't catch a cold, so they went out early to avoid getting hurt.

The two little ones felt it was a bit of a pity, but with Mrs. He watching from the side, they didn't dare to do anything rash.

It was almost time for the school to have its summer break, so Gu Yunyi had Zhou Yuanjia ask for leave for him and stayed home every day.

Before, the child was not yet born, but now that the child is born, he still doesn't want to go to school. Every day he just lies in the house, squats by the cradle, looks left and right, and occasionally glances at Xu Qingmeng.

"What are you looking at me for? I haven't taken a bath in ages, I look awful." Xu Qingmeng glared at him, her temper gradually flaring up.

Although it's winter, with her head wrapped up every day, not allowed to shower, and not allowed to get out of bed, Xu Qingmeng, who is usually quite clean, is now feeling uncomfortable all over and is suffering terribly.
