Chapter 225 Naming
Gu Yunyi got up and walked over, taking her arm and saying, "My wife is so beautiful, how could she be ugly?"

Xu Qingmeng rolled her eyes at him, pulled her arm away, and didn't want to pay any attention to him.

"Not yet, stay away from me, it stinks."

"It doesn't smell bad at all! Don't talk nonsense." Gu Yunyi laughed and pulled Xu Qingmeng into his arms.

Xu Qingmeng looked completely bewildered. Was this person blinded by love, spouting nonsense?

Even though it's the dead of winter, I still sweated a lot on the day I gave birth. And these days I've been staying in bed all the time, especially my hair, which gets wet and then dry, and it smells really bad.

"Gu Yunyi, I want to take a shower."

“No, Mother and the midwife both said you can’t take a bath now. It’s the middle of winter, and if you catch a cold, you’ll have back pain later. The most important thing for you right now is to stay in bed and rest.” Gu Yunyi said.

"If I just lie here like this for a month without moving, without washing my hair, without taking a bath, I'll get maggots!" Xu Qingmeng said coldly.

Gu Yunyi: "..."

It's the dead of winter, not summer. It's not that serious to not shower or wash your hair for a month, is it?

However, Mengniang was so clean that even when she was pregnant, she would take a bath every few days.

No matter what Xu Qingmeng said, He Shi couldn't convince her.

The times are different now, and so are the concepts about postpartum care. Even today, many older people hold the same views. It's not that He Shi is bad; after all, it's out of concern and love for her daughter-in-law.

However, it was a really tough time for Xu Qingmeng!

As a modern person, Xu Qingmeng had not experienced it firsthand, but she had seen quite a few things around her, and these things were actually not scientific.

However, Mrs. He felt that she was too young to understand this, and that if she did not take good care of herself during postpartum confinement, she would suffer from many health problems when she got older.

There are two people, one who thinks he's being good to her, and the other who feels too uncomfortable right now. It's hard to say who's right or wrong; they each have their own perspectives. When two different viewpoints collide, there's absolutely no way to resolve the conflict.

Madam He kept a close eye on her, knowing that Xu Qingmeng was very clean and afraid that she might secretly touch the cold water.

Xu Qingmeng had no other choice but to beg Gu Yunyi. She thought Gu Yunyi could persuade her, and that this matter should be kept secret from the He family and carried out quietly.

If He knew this, she would definitely say, "Everyone goes through this. Just bear with it and it will pass soon."

"No, I'll go talk to Mother and ask her to make an exception." Gu Yunyi knew she was very particular about cleanliness, and said with great difficulty.

Xu Qingmeng quickly shook her head.

Seeing her shake her head, Gu Yunyi looked at her in confusion: "Then what do you want me to do?"

How to do it?
Xu Qingmeng has already made up her mind.

She sat up, her eyes shining, and said, "At night, bring the stove into the room and tell them that the baby is growing bigger every day and eating more, and that the milk supply is not enough in the middle of the night, so you're thinking of feeding the baby something in the middle of the night."

Xu Qingmeng had already figured it out. What was He Shi most concerned about right now? It was definitely that her brother and sister weren't getting enough to eat.

Of course, it wasn't that he didn't care about Xu Qingmeng, but between the two, the brother and sister cared more about the breast milk.

Previously, when Xu Qingmeng was chubby, they really hoped she would lose weight. But now, they wish she would gain weight again and try their best to prepare various lactation-promoting foods for her every day.

Of course, it was still very effective, but eating it every meal became a bit tiring, and Xu Qingmeng did gain some weight.

Right now, in order to be able to clean herself up, Xu Qingmeng felt she could accept eating an extra meal or two. Xu Qingmeng asked Gu Yunyi to speak to her, and upon hearing this, Madam He immediately brought the stove back herself after finishing her meal.

In the middle of the night, Gu Yun secretly brought over a pot so that Xu Qingmeng could clean herself.

"Wife, the hot water is ready. Water cools down quickly in winter, so hurry up and make sure it doesn't get cold."

"Uh-huh."

Even such a small wish has to be kept secret right now. Xu Qingmeng really feels... it's so difficult!
I'm still satisfied!
Through the screen, Gu Yunyi looked at the two children. Xu Qingmeng was wiping herself in the back. She glanced over unintentionally, and her face immediately turned red.

Since it was winter, Xu Qingmeng didn't dare to delay and quickly finished wiping it.

Xu Qingmeng actually wanted to wash her hair, but Gu Yunyi refused no matter what she said, and even her coaxing didn't work; he simply rejected her.

Gu Yunyi put his arm around her waist, picked her up, and walked towards the bed. "Wife, you can't even be coquettish."

Xu Qingmeng sighed, but thankfully she had wiped herself clean and didn't mind anymore.

Gu Yunyi poured water, put the small stove away, and then turned and went back into the house.

Xu Qingmeng was still awake. Her younger sister had woken up hungry, and she was holding her and feeding her milk.

The older brother is stronger and eats more each time, and also sleeps longer. The younger sister is different; she eats less each time, so she needs to be fed more frequently.

Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi felt very sorry for their younger sister every time they saw her, even though Doctor Cheng said there was nothing seriously wrong and she just needed to rest and recuperate.

But the younger sister was not only petite, but also had a soft and weak voice, so the two of them were more biased towards her.

After Xu Qing dreamed that Gu Yunyi had returned, she remembered what He Shi had said during the day and asked, "By the way, have you thought of a name yet? Mother, you asked me about it today."

He originally intended to consult a fortune teller to name her, but Xu Qingmeng felt that a name chosen by the family would be more meaningful.

"Think about it."

"I've thought of a few..." Xu Qing hadn't finished speaking in her sleep when Gu Yunyi replied.

Gu Yunyi looked at her in surprise: "My wife, you're awake too."

Xu Qingmeng nodded, "However, I just thought of two nicknames. It's not appropriate to always call him 'little sister' or 'brother'."

"What name does my wife want?" Gu Yunyi asked.

"How about we name the little sister Zhizhi and the big brother Ruirui?" Xu Qingmeng suggested.

"That sounds nice. I thought my wife would choose something related to food," Gu Yunyi said.

Xu Qingmeng coughed lightly. To be honest, she had thought about it before. Her younger sister was supposed to be named Tangtang and her older brother Doudou. But she thought Gu Yunyi would laugh at her for it, so she changed it to these two names.

Upon seeing this, Gu Yunyi quickly asked, "Wife, what else do you want to call me?"

"That's all, this is it." Xu Qingmeng rolled her eyes at him, he really was getting less and less perceptive.

Gu Yunyi stopped teasing her and said, "I've thought of two names. Would you like to hear them, my wife?"
