Chapter 31
Chapter 31
Having a baby is a long process.
From labor pains to successful delivery, it may take half a day, or even a day.
After Lu Changge brought in the hot water, he was kicked out by the midwife.
Xiaotuanzi was also kicked out because he was too young to watch.
The father and son who were kicked out walked back and forth in front of the house with their pockets in their hands.
Hearing his daughter-in-law's cries of pain coming from the room, Lu Changge felt extremely tormented.
Half an hour later, Xiaotuanzi was hungry.
"Daddy, Tuanzi is hungry." Xiaotuanzi stretched out his hand and tugged at Daddy's clothes, then raised his head and said.
"Hungry? Go ask Erto to serve you a bowl of noodles."
"Okay!" Xiaotuanzi replied and ran to the kitchen.
Er Teng was watching the fire in the kitchen, millet porridge was being boiled in the clay pot.
"Two two, I'm hungry! I want noodles!" Xiaotuanzi ran into the kitchen and shouted loudly.
[hungry?OK!Little master, wait a minute. ]
As Erto said, he stretched out another cane and took out another clay pot from the cabinet.
Wash the clay pot, add water and two spoons of chicken broth.
When it boils, add two beef balls cut in half, and a few slices of pork.
After the meat is cooked, put the vermicelli made of rice milk sent by Li Xiaomin this morning.
Then a few slices of green vegetables.
After cooking, take out the firewood under the pottery pot and put it in the stove to continue boiling hot water.
Xiaotuanzi dragged a small stool over and sat next to Erteng.
There was no table in the kitchen, so Er Teng scooped out the powder and held a bowl for the little master to eat like this.
"Two two, when Wochu came, did Mu's father hurt like this?" Xiaotuanzi asked after eating a stick of noodles.
[I don’t know about this, I didn’t see you when you were born, little master. ]
"Oh..." Xiaotuanzi lowered his head to suck a stick of noodles, and asked again, "Where did Erer go? Is he also cooking noodles here?"
God tm cooks noodles here!
[...No, I'm in the mountains. ] Erto was a little speechless, but still replied.
"Oh, then..."
Xiaotuanzi still wanted to ask, but was interrupted by Erto.
[stop!Don't ask me why I'm in the mountains, ask others! ]
"Oh... When did the younger brother get rough?" Xiaotuanzi asked.
Erto: "..."
It is not the younger brother himself, how does it know?
[You are not allowed to talk while eating. ]
"Oh." Xiaotuanzi groaned and buried himself in eating noodles.
After eating for a while, Xiaotuanzi realized that he hadn't eaten now, but was eating noodles.
So, can talk.
"Two two, after my younger brother comes here, my younger brother is the little master, so the nest is called the big master?" Xiaotuanzi, who had been buried in eating noodles, raised his head and asked again.
Master?
So, you little guy is trying to seek your father's power and usurp your father's position?
At such a young age, he is quite courageous.
[no. ]
"What's that called?" Xiaotuanzi asked curiously.
[Ask your father. ]
"Oh..." Xiaotuanzi lowered his head and continued eating noodles.
"two two……"
[stop!What do you want to ask again? ]
"Ah? The noodle session is over, more!" Xiaotuanzi tapped the empty bowl with chopsticks.
Erto: "..."
Miscalculated.
After eating, Xiaotuanzi ran back to the door of the house and waited with his father.
After another hour, Lu Changge finally heard the cry of a baby coming from the room.
Not long after the door was opened, the midwife came out with the baby in her arms, and said with a smile, "Congratulations Lu Liehu, your husband gave birth to a boy."
"Well, take it in."
It's so cold outside, you can't freeze the child.
After the midwife came out, Lu Changge wrapped three hundred Wen for her.
After they left, Lu Changge let Erto and the others come out to continue working.
Before entering the room, Lu Changge took off his coat and changed his shoes.
After walking in, I immediately smelled a bloody smell.
Su Qingyun was lying on the bed at this time, already so tired that she fell asleep.
Erbao was placed next to him.
Lu Changge called Erteng and asked him to bring a basin of hot water.
When the hot water arrived, Lu Changge soaked his hands in it.
After warming his hands, Lu Changge started to help his wife clean up.
Carry the second baby to the crib first, and then wipe the daughter-in-law with hot water.
After wiping the upper body, I changed into a clean top, and then cleaned the lower body.
After cleaning up, he changed into clean clothes, and Lu Changge carried his wife to the middle of the bed.
Remove old quilts that have become soiled.
From wiping and cleaning to changing clothes, and then putting back the original mattress, Su Qingyun fell asleep the whole time without being woken up.
It was activated before lunch, and it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon after the baby was born.
Su Qingyun slept for another two hours, and when he woke up, he was already very hungry.
Before Su Qingyun could fully open his eyes, someone beside him half helped him up.
"Drink some water first." A familiar voice sounded above his head.
Su Qingyun subconsciously opened her mouth and took a sip.
The water in the mouth was warm, and after drinking it, Su Qingyun slowly woke up.
"Sanggong..." Su Qingyun's voice was a little hoarse.
"Are you hungry? Have some porridge?" Lu Changge asked in a low voice.
"Yes." Su Qingyun nodded.
The clay pot for cooking rice porridge has been moved into the house, and a few pieces of silver carbon charcoal are placed under it to keep warm.
The millet porridge was cooked at noon. After being warmed by the charcoal fire for an afternoon, it was now soft and sticky.
After drinking two bowls, Su Qingyun shook his head to indicate that he was full.
After finishing the porridge and taking another sip of warm water, Su Qingyun asked.
"Sir, what time is it?"
"It's getting dark."
It gets dark very early in winter, the sky starts to get dark at 05:30, and it gets completely dark at [-]:[-].
"It's so late... Where's the dumpling? Have you eaten yet?" Su Qingyun asked again.
"Eat, Tuanzi and Erteng are in his room, the earth dragon is burning, and Dateng is watching." Lu Changge said while putting the bowl on the table.
"With me here, you don't have to worry about these things, take good care of your body."
"Then...that's fine."
"And... you've worked hard." Lu Changge sat back on the bed, leaned over and kissed him on the forehead.
Su Qingyun's face was blushed by Xianggong's sudden tenderness, her eyes were wandering and she didn't know where to look.
Su Qingyun, who had just given birth, was still a little weak, and lying on the warm blanket, she fell asleep again after a while.
Lu Changge changed Erbao's diaper, went to the Tuanzi's room to have a look, and then went back to lie down.
Newborn babies don't know the time when they fuss.
They cry and pull whenever they want, and it takes a lot of energy and physical strength to take care of them.
So, try to get as much sleep as you can now, while you can.
Lu Changge has taken care of children, so he has experience.
Even if you're not sleepy right now, force yourself to go into a light sleep.
Sure enough, within an hour after Lu Changge lay down, Erbao started crying.
The second after the sound of crying, Lu Changge immediately got up and got out of bed, and picked up Er Bao who was lying in the crib.
I touched my little butt, it wasn't wet.
That is hungry.
Pick up the bottle that is set aside and remove the cap.
Sure enough, as soon as the pacifier was inserted, the small mouth began to suck.
"Sanggong... Is the baby crying..." Su Qingyun vaguely heard the baby's cry in her sleep, half asleep and half awake.
"I'm not awake, go to sleep." Lu Changge said softly.
Hearing Xianggong's words, Su Qingyun responded vaguely, and fell asleep not long after.
After feeding Erbao, Lu Changge carried him around the house a few times to lull him to sleep.
Wait for your little one to fall asleep before carefully placing him in the crib.
After that, Lu Changge lay down and continued to sleep.
In the middle of the night, Lu Changge was awakened by Erbao's crying again, this time because the diaper was wet.
After changing Erbao's diaper, Lu Changge went to the Tuanzi's room to wake him up and let the water go.
When Lu Changge returned to the room, he happened to see Su Qingyun waking up, frowning as if he wanted to get up.
"Don't move, I'll come." Lu Changge walked over a few steps, lifted the quilt and picked him up.
Then go into the cubicle.
Lu Changge knew exactly what his wife was going to do, and he didn't need to say anything at all.
After relieving himself, Lu Changge carried him back and put him on the bed.
"Are you hungry? Have some more porridge?" Lu Changge asked softly.
"En." Su Qingyun nodded.
Lu Changge put a pillow behind him before going to serve the porridge.
Su Qingyun half-lyed on the bed, watching her husband go to work for him, and suddenly remembered the time when he had just given birth to the dumpling.
At that time, Xianggong was busy with him in the same way.
However, because I didn't know much about Xianggong, I thought I was right and made that decision.
Thinking about it now, it's also funny.
Now, although this man is cold, his heart has been warmed by him.
After drinking porridge and gargling with some warm water, Su Qingyun lay down.
I slept a lot during the day, but now I can't sleep.
Putting the bowl aside, Lu Changge lay back on the bed and talked with his wife for a while.
"You don't need to talk with me anymore, hurry up and sleep." After chatting with Xianggong for a few words, Su Qingyun urged him to sleep.
Otherwise, Erbao will cry later and won't be able to sleep even if he wants to.
"Well, you should go to sleep too." Lu Changge replied and closed his eyes, and his breathing became steady after a while.
It didn't take long for Lu Changge to fall asleep.
Seeing that Xianggong fell asleep quickly, Su Qingyun felt more and more that Xianggong must be exhausted today, and felt a little distressed.
Su Qingyun lay flat for a while, feeling a dull pain in her lower abdomen, so she slowly turned to her side.
When the person next to him moved, Lu Changge didn't even wake up, so he habitually turned sideways and reached out to help.
This conditioned reflex was also trained during Su Qingyun's pregnancy.
During pregnancy, the belly gets bigger day by day, and it will be uncomfortable to maintain a sleeping position for a long time.
So Su Qingyun would turn over several times every night, and when she couldn't turn over at the back, she needed Lu Changge's help.
Turning sideways to face the man, Su Qingyun stared at her husband for a while, then felt a little sleepy.
But before he fell asleep, Er Bao woke up in the crib.
As soon as she heard the child's cry, Su Qingyun saw Xianggong sitting up immediately, without even opening his eyes.
Lu Changge changed Er Bao's diaper, fed him, and put him down carefully after putting him to sleep.
Then he turned around and was about to go back to sleep, when he saw his daughter-in-law looking at him with distressed eyes.
distressed?
Lu Changge was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask.
"Woke up?" Lu Changge lay back and helped his wife tuck in the quilt.
"No..." Su Qingyun shook her head.
"It's almost dawn, sleep a little longer." Lu Changge coaxed in a low voice, pushing the hair on his face behind his ears.
"Ah."
……
The next morning, Lu Changge was still awakened by Er Bao's crying.
The number of times the infinite feeding bottle can be used has been refreshed. Lu Changge first changed Erbao's diaper before feeding him.
The little guy didn't sleep after drinking the milk, so Lu Changge put him back in the crib.
Then I hugged my daughter-in-law who woke up to relieve her hand.
After finishing his relief, Lu Changge put his wife back on the bed, and carried Er Bao over to her side.
Then he took out the changed diaper and the bucket in the small cubicle.
When Lu Changge entered the kitchen, Da Teng was already inside.
It can also be said that Davine stayed in the kitchen all night.
[Master, the hot water is ready, and the rice porridge is ready. ] Da Teng saw the master coming in, and said.
"Well, where's Erto?" Lu Changge walked over and began to prepare breakfast.
[Erto is dressing the little master. ]
Today's breakfast included millet porridge, [-] mutton dumplings, [-] beef dumplings, and the usual boiled eggs.
There is also a small sweet potato that Xiaotuanzi ordered to eat last night.
Put the dumplings, eggs and sweet potatoes into the steamer, and Lu Changge asked Da Teng to watch the fire.
He fetched a basin of hot water and left.
Lu Changge waited for his wife to brush her teeth and wash her face first, and when he brought out the water, Xiaotuanzi also left the room.
"Daddy! Is brother awake?" Xiaotuanzi's eyes lit up when he saw Daddy, and he ran over.
"woke up."
"Go brush your teeth and wash your face first, and then go in to see your brother after breakfast."
Lu Changge called out to stop Tuanzi who wanted to run to see his younger brother.
But it was cold outside, and the main room was not as chilly as the ground fire.
Finally, their breakfast was brought into the house.
Lu Changge brought in the breakfast and put it on the small table.
Seeing Xiaotuanzi still lying on the bedside looking at his younger brother, he shouted, "Duanzi, come and have breakfast."
"Oh!" Tuanzi responded and ran over quickly.
After helping Tuanzi put on the bib, Lu Changge went to move the low table on the bed.
First help the daughter-in-law up, and stuff a back cushion behind her.
Then put the low table in place and put the wife's breakfast on the table.
Su Qingyun's breakfast included five mutton dumplings besides a bowl of rice porridge.
Lu Changge bought two books from Li Tugen's system before.
There is a book about precautions for pregnant fathers from pregnancy, childbirth to confinement.
In terms of diet, the book also gives advice.
One of them is that the pregnant father has just given birth and needs to consume a lot of energy food.
Lamb is one of them.
Su Qingyun didn't eat much at first.
But now that I have given birth, I feel relaxed and my appetite has improved.
After eating the porridge and five dumplings, Su Qingyun asked Xianggong to scoop up half a bowl of porridge for him.
"There are still some dumplings, do you want to eat?" Lu Changge asked.
"want."
After breakfast, Lu Changge packed his things and started today's work.
And Xiaotuanzi stayed in the house, sometimes accompanying his mother's father and sometimes teasing his younger brother.
"Father Mu, why don't you open your eyes?" Xiaotuanzi asked curiously.
"My brother won't open his eyes yet, but he will in a few days."
"Oh." Xiaotuanzi nodded.
But I was thinking in my heart, my brother is so stupid.
But as an elder brother, he would not despise his younger brother as a fool.
Outdoors
After Lu Changge washed the dishes and chopsticks, he started washing diapers again, and at the same time he did not forget to sign in today.
[System, sign in. ]
[Ding—Successful sign-in on the 189th day of fleeing from famine, and received sign-in rewards: five catties of rice, one box of mutton rolls, two bags of 200 grams of milk powder.Rewards have been put into system space. 】
Hearing that there was milk powder in the reward, Lu Changge frowned.
[System, how come there is milk powder in the sign-in reward. ]
[ah?Oh this, the sign-in rewards are adjusted according to the needs of the host. When the host desperately needs a certain kind of food, the probability of it appearing will be very high. ]
[That's it...] Lu Changge nodded, with a flash of thought in his eyes.
Halfway through the diaper wash, Li Tugen and Li Xiaomin came over with their things.
As soon as Li Tugen and Li Xiaomin walked in, they saw Uncle Lu sitting in the yard, washing diapers.
Seeing this scene, the two felt a little disillusioned.
"Why are you here?" Seeing the two children standing there motionless, Lu Changge looked up.
"Uncle Lu, I heard that Uncle Lu has given birth. Sister Xiao Min and I brought some things here." Li Tugen came to his senses and said quickly.
"I saw that there were confinement meals in the mall, so I bought three boxes for Uncle Lu." Li Xiaomin also said.
"I bought some fragrant milk rice, which should be enough for my brother for half a month."
With that said, Li Tugen took the basket containing the fragrant milk rice to the main room and put it there, and also helped Li Xiaomin take it there.
"It's a waste." Lu Changge nodded, and said, "Don't buy these things with points in the future, it's not worth it."
"It's okay, we'll just do tasks to earn money after the points are gone." Li Tugen smiled and said indifferently.
Seeing what he said, Lu Changge didn't say anything.
Seeing that Uncle Lu stopped talking, he lowered his head and continued washing diapers.
Li Xiaomin on the side pushed the bulldozer, signaling to him not to forget their other purpose for coming here.
"By the way, Uncle Lu, this is the silver that was distributed to you two months ago, and I will give it to you now." Li Tugen said, taking out the money bag containing the silver.
"Well, put it on the table." Lu Changge said without raising his head.
Putting the money on the table, Li Tugen thought for a while and said,
"It's like this, Uncle Lu. Sister Xiao Min and I plan to buy a shop in the town. It will be convenient for doing business this way. Do you think it will work?"
"You don't need to buy it, you can rent a small one." Lu Changge suggested.
The drought will be over in six months, and after the drought is over, there will be floods.
And their town happened to be the hardest hit area.
If you buy a shop in the town, the money spent is equivalent to wasted money.
"Okay, listen to Uncle Lu." Li Xiaomin thought for a while and nodded.
Uncle Lu is older than them and has a lot of knowledge. Since Uncle Lu said that renting is better, let's rent it.
After the matter was settled, the two children chatted with Uncle Lu and prepared to leave.
But as soon as he turned around, he was stopped by Lu Changge.
"Wait a minute."
"What's the matter, Uncle Lu?"
"You don't need to send the share for this month and after, you should divide it equally," Lu Changge said.
"Huh?" Li Xiaomin was puzzled.
"This won't work, it was agreed before." Li Tugen shook his head and refused without thinking.
"Yes." Li Xiaomin came to his senses and nodded in agreement.
"When Uncle Lu finishes confinement, our family will leave here, so there is no need to send money." Lu Changge patiently explained.
"What?!" Hearing what Uncle Lu said, Li Tugen was stunned.
"Why... why did you leave? Isn't it good to live here?" Li Xiaomin looked at Uncle Lu and asked carefully.
"Not for that reason."
Lu Changge said while taking the washed diapers to the other side for drying.
"Uncle Lu, do you have to leave?" Li Tugen walked behind Uncle Lu, asking as if asking for proof.
"Ah."
"Uncle Lu...can we know the reason?" Li Xiaomin opened his mouth and finally asked.
For Uncle Lu's family to leave here, Li Xiaomin is actually the most unacceptable.
Unlike Li Tugen, Li Xiaomin has no elders in her family.
Of course, Li Xiaomin didn't want to recognize the uncle and the third uncle as elders.
In the past two years and Uncle Lu helped her solve the matter that her third uncle wanted to sell her for money, Li Xiaomin already regarded Uncle Lu as the most trusted elder.
Therefore, she couldn't accept the fact that the only elder would leave here soon.
Lu Changge looked back at the little girl, and felt helpless when he saw that she was about to cry.
"The drought has lasted for six months, and it is estimated that it will continue. Our family plans to visit other places."
Li Tugen and Li Xiaomin were silent for a long time after listening.
"Uncle Lu, can I bring my younger siblings with you?" Li Xiaomin said suddenly.
Li Tugen at the side heard it and looked over.
"Are you sure?" Lu Changge frowned.
"I……"
Lu Changge interrupted her, and continued: "The destination is unknown, you have to bring your own carriage, dry food, clothes, etc. Are you sure you want to follow?"
After listening to Uncle Lu's words, Li Tugen, who originally wanted to say that he wanted to leave with him, was suddenly blocked.
"I have no objection if you want to leave, but the premise is to think clearly."
In the end, Li Tugen and Li Xiaomin left feeling disappointed.
After the person left, the system that had been silent just now suddenly made a sound.
[Host, why did you suddenly say you were leaving? ]
"It didn't happen suddenly. I discussed it with my wife before." Lu Changge finished drying the diaper and put the basin away.
The system heard it, searched the records, and finally found out that the host told his wife about leaving Lijiacun.
The system is silent.
[Tong, are you reluctant to leave your wife? ]
[right. ] The system readily admitted it.
I'm leaving anyway, it doesn't matter if I admit it or not.
[Husband~ People are also reluctant to leave you! ] The soft cute system suddenly appeared.
[So, I have persuaded the host to leave with you!Husband, are you happy?Surprised or not? ] The soft cute system came over and posted with the system.
system:"……"
[Boss!Wherever you go, I will go, I will always follow the boss! ! ] The system with rough and crazy voices suddenly appeared.
System: [... Get out! ]
