Chapter 856: Mothers Are Tough
This woman had just walked through the gates of h.e.l.l.
Some people said that it was very easy for a woman to give birth to a child like a hen laying eggs, especially when some women who had given birth before actually said the same thing. However, only those who had really suffered would know that using the term hen laying eggs to describe a woman’s labor was an insult to women.
Fang Yusheng could not help but think of his Ah Sheng. His expression was a little ugly. He walked to the small stool and sat down without saying a word.
Qiao Jiusheng looked at Fang Yusheng and hesitated for a moment. In the end, she did not say anything and hugged the baby.
The little princess opened one eye and looked at the light. She seemed very curious since she had just arrived in this world.
Qiao Jiusheng asked Fang Yusheng to turn off the lights.
Fang Yusheng cooperated with Qiao Jiusheng and turned off the lights. Qiao Jiusheng placed the baby in the crib before helping to take out the supplies Fang Yusheng had brought. She arranged them according to their uses and placed them on the table. After a while, Chen Tao arrived with bags.
Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng had experience taking care of newborns. Qiao Jiusheng had originally planned to dress the little princess, but Wei Shuyi wanted to try it himself. Qiao Jiusheng said, “Brother Wei, you don’t have any experience taking care of newborns…”
“I’ll teach him!”
Fang Yusheng suddenly walked over.
He took the clothes from Qiao Jiusheng’s hand and walked to the crib. He said to Wei Shuyi, “Old Wei, come here. I took care of our two children during their confinement. Come, I’ll teach you. Look carefully.” Fang Yusheng took off the little princess’s clothes.
...
The little princess was wearing diapers. Fang Yusheng pointed at the diapers and said to Wei Shuyi, “Remember, diapers with patterns are usually in front. Those with waist stickers have to be behind.”
Wei Shuyi felt that he was being despised, so he said, “I know that.” In the past, when he performed heart surgeries on people, sometimes family members would use diapers for the patients. Even if Wei Shuyi didn’t personally help them wear them, he had seen them before.
He understood this.
“Oh… I didn’t know at first.” Fang Yusheng was a little embarra.s.sed. When he first put on the diapers for Fang Zicheng and the rest, he couldn’t tell the front from the back and even wore them inside out. Later on, when he sent the babies to take a shower, he was even mocked by the nurse.
Of course, if Fang Yusheng thought that he didn’t understand, Wei Shuyi probably wouldn’t either.
Who knew that not everyone was as stupid as him?
Brother Sheng felt extremely awkward, but he still looked calm.
He picked up a thin long-sleeved undergarment and gently raised one of the little princess’s arms. He said, “When you wear clothes, you can use one hand to pinch the cuff. This way, you can put on a light set…” Fang Yusheng asked Wei Shuyi to lean closer. Wei Shuyi stared at him carefully and saw that Fang Yusheng had easily put on one sleeve for the little princess.
Wei Shuyi immediately respected Fang Yusheng.
“Not bad.”
He did not dare to touch the little princess. She looked so young that he was afraid that she would shatter if he touched her. Fang Yusheng was still the best. He even dared to dress her.
Fang Yusheng put on the little princess’s clothes and pants. “Remember, the baby’s umbilical cord hasn’t fallen yet. You have to disinfect her every day. You have to be careful when you put on your clothes. It’s best to put your pants on. You can’t let your stomach get cold.”
Wei Shuyi said, “I’ve learned something.”
Fang Yusheng was a little proud.
He stared at the chubby little princess and thought that he would be meeting his little princess in a few months. Just thinking about it made him a little excited. However, when he thought about Beauty Wu’s pitiful appearance, Fang Yusheng could not get excited. He only felt afraid.
Qiao Jiusheng asked Wei Shuyi, “Have you thought of a name for the little princess?”
Wei Shuyi shook his head.
A few months ago, Wei Shuyi and Beauty Wu had discussed the child’s name countless times. However, they could not think of a satisfactory name.
“Then you guys have to discuss it properly. Get the child registered as soon as possible and get the birth certificate, medical insurance, and everything else done so that you won’t be too busy when you need it.”
“Okay.”
Actually, Beauty Wu was already awake, but she was too tired and weak to speak.
Gradually, when the anesthesia wore off, she felt a little pain. Her brows were tightly furrowed. Qiao Jiusheng noticed it and quickly said to Wei Shuyi, “Sister Beauty seems to be awake.”
Wei Shuyi walked over immediately.
Beauty Wu opened her eyes. The moment she saw Wei Shuyi, she suddenly wanted to cry.
She whimpered and her tears started to fall.
She thought that she would die and that she would never see Wei Shuyi again. So when she opened her eyes and saw Wei Shuyi beside her, Beauty Wu felt wronged. People who had never experienced this feeling of surviving a disaster would never know.
Seeing her cry, Wei Shuyi couldn’t help but turn his head to the side.
Qiao Jiusheng turned around silently and sat down beside Fang Yusheng.
Fang Yusheng did not say anything and only held Qiao Jiusheng’s hand tightly.
Qiao Jiusheng raised her right hand and patted the back of Fang Yusheng’s hand gently, consoling him silently.
Finally, Beauty Wu calmed down.
Wei Shuyi was no longer as agitated. He wiped Beauty Wu’s tears and asked her, “Does your wound start to hurt?”
“A little.”
“Just persevere through it. You still have to get out of bed tomorrow.”
Beauty Wu’s hoa.r.s.e voice sounded in the ward. She said, “I’ve endured worse times. This bit of pain is nothing.” With that said, her gaze searched the ward before landing on the crib.
Qiao Jiusheng quickly carried the little princess and placed her beside Beauty Wu.
The little princess’s skin was no longer as red as before. She was wearing a single-layered hat, and a few strands of black hair were exposed. They had already dried. The little princess was asleep, but her mouth was open, as if she was drinking milk. When Beauty Wu saw her daughter, her heart almost broke.
“Fortunately, you’re fine.” Beauty Wu’s eyes were red as she gently caressed her daughter’s soft face with her fingers.
Beauty Wu said to Qiao Jiusheng, “Ah Sheng, I don’t know how to breastfeed…”
“Come, I’ll hold her and teach you.”
Fang Yusheng quickly got up and walked out of the ward silently to avoid arousing suspicion.
She got Wei Shuyi to shake the bed a little higher and Qiao Jiusheng got him to pull Beauty Wu’s clothes up. She supported the little princess’s body and let the little princess suck on Beauty Wu’s chest. Her chest, which had not been sucked on, had small nipples. The little princess tried a few times but did not succeed.
Beauty Wu was sweating profusely.
Qiao Jiusheng carried the baby in her arms and said to Beauty Wu, “Try again tomorrow. You’re weak now, and the baby isn’t very hungry.”
“How about this? Suck it out and feed it to her.” Beauty Wu could not bear to see her daughter hungry but unable to drink milk. She felt pitiful and upset. Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiusheng said, “Yusheng bought a breast pump. Brother Wei, go look for it.”
Wei Shuyi searched for a while and found a breast pump. He disinfected it and pulled out some milk.
