Li Yong stepped forward aggrievedly. âWife, 1 was wrong. Please donât take it to heart. I know youâve been wronged, why donât you hit me a few times to vent your anger?â
Qin Xiaomin frowned and hissed.
Seeing this, Li Yong quickly stepped forward and took the initiative to remove his clothes. âIâm here, Iâm here. Wife, donât be so agitated!â
Qin Xiaomin placed the child in front of Li Yongâs chest. The childâs mouth was moving.
As soon as he got close, he gave Li Yong a fierce bite.
Li Yong cried out and took a step back. âThis little brat has such great strength?â
Qin Xiaomin chuckled and was satisfied. âNow you know how hard it is for a woman?â
Pregnancy was tough, giving birth was tough, and feeding was even tougher.
âI know, I know. Then what should we do? Iâll go get some hot water and compress it on you first, then let the child try to suck it in.â
Li Yong immediately put on his clothes and went out with the basin.
When he went out, a few people waiting outside came over and asked with concern, âHow is it? Do you have it?â
âNo, Iâll go get some hot water!â Li Yong shook his head.
When Li Xu saw this, she said to the others in a low voice, âIâll go back now and make her some melon and carp soup to see if itâs effective,â
Liu Guihua nodded. âSure! Go ahead!â
Li Xu left in a hurry and Li Yong returned not long after.
He brought the hot water into the house and locked the door again.
He soaked a clean towel in hot water for a while, wrung it dry, and placed it on Qin Xiaominâs chest.
According to the doctorâs instructions, he applied a hot compress and gently massaged her.
After massaging for more than ten minutes, Li Yong wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked, âWhy donât you try again?â
When he massaged her, he was afraid that it would be ineffective if he used too little strength, and he was worried that she would feel pain if he used too much strength.
He had been trying very hard to control his strength, and now his forehead was covered in sweat.
âSure, letâs try!â Qin Xiaomin nodded.
Li Yong carried the child over again. This time, Qin Xiaomin was mentally prepared and didnât cry out in pain. However, one could tell from her expression that she must be in pain.
After a long while, Qin Xiaomin quickly carried the child away and whispered, âThis little fellow only knows how to use brute force. Itâs not going to work.â
The child was probably hungry, as he could not find anything to eat after a long time. His small face was already scrunched up and he was crying.
Qin Xiaominâs heart ached when she saw her sonâs state.
âYou do it!â She gritted her teeth and looked at Li Yong.
âWhat do you mean?â Li Yong was surprised.
Qin Xiaomin pointed at her chest. âCome and try it. Youâre an adult now. You know how to use tricks.â
She looked calm on the surface, but in fact, her face was burning.
However, she was a little anxious as she did not produce any milk.
Li Yong finally understood what Qin Xiaomin meant.
His face immediately burned as if it was on fire. âThatâs the only way!â
He swallowed his saliva, took two steps forward, and bent down.
After a few minutes, Li Yong raised his head and looked at Qin Xiaomin in surprise, âThereâs it, itâs hereâ¦â
He picked up the child and went up to him. âQuick! Son, drink it.â
However, Qin Xiaomin pushed him away and rebuked, âGo and get another basin of hot water to wash up.â
Li Yong placed the child in Qin Xiaominâs arms happily. âOkay, 1â11 go now!â
He picked up the basin and walked out.
âHow is it? Does she have it?â As soon as he left, the old men asked nervously as usual.
âThereâs a little!â Li Yong nodded.
Upon hearing this, a few of them heaved a sigh of relief.
Their precious (maternal) grandson finally had milk to drink.
Li Yong took the hot water and washed Qin Xiaomin. Then, he carried the child up impatiently.
The child quieted down in an instant. The only sound in the room was the childâs swallowing.
Li Yongâs heart was also completely relaxed.
Qin Xiaomin had given birth naturally, and it had been very smooth. Therefore, on the third day of her stay in the hospital, she was discharged.
Qin Xiaomin still had a few months of maternity leave, so she went back to her in-lawsâ house with Li Yong after she was discharged.
Although it would be more comfortable to go back to her parentsâ house, she thought when she went to work, she would definitely bring the child back to her parentsâ house. She should take this opportunity to let her grandparents take a look at the child more.
Qin Xiaomin didnât care about her parentsâ objections and followed them back with determination.
The day he was discharged from the hospital was Friday.
Ji Ziâang didnât have enough of this little cousin of his and insisted on following them back to his grandparentsâ house.
Li Xu had no choice but to agree.
She couldnât let Ji Ziâang go back alone, so Li Xu packed the three children and sent them back.
She thought that since Zixuan and Yuanyuan were quiet, they could help to keep an eye on Ziâang.
In case Ziâang, this naughty monkey, caused trouble at home.
Just like that, the three children were sent back to their grandparentsâ house with a small bag on their backs.
There were too many people at home. After dinner, Liu Guihua and Li Zhiming went to the greenhouse, and they slept in the small wooden house next to the greenhouse.
Li Nian was placed on the brick bed in the East Room. Qin Xiaomin and Li Yong were in the kitchen, packing up the things they had brought back from the hospital.
Li Nian was quite obedient. She kept her eyes open and didnât cry or make a fuss.
Ji Ziâang picked up a paper crane that he had folded and teased him. âLi Nian, look, the paper crane flew awayâ¦â
âEh? The paper crane is flying back!â
He enjoyed playing with Li Nian.
Li Nian also gave him a face and followed his hand with her big eyes.
âWhereâs the milk powder? Why donât I see any milk powder?â Qin Xiaomin suddenly asked.
âItâs just in a red bag, right?â Li Yong was stunned.
After searching for a long time, he still couldnât find the red bag.
âOh no, did you leave it in the hospital? I clearly remember bringing it back!â Li Yong mumbled, âWait a minute. Iâll go to the car and see if itâs in the car.â
As he spoke, Li Yong went back to the courtyard.
However, there was nothing in the car.
âItâs not in the car. Iâll go to the county to buy a few more boxes tomorrow morning.â
Qin Xiaomin smacked him angrily, âYou pig brain, what are you going to do tonight?â You know that 1 donât have much milk, but you still donât care about your sonâs food?â
Although Qin Xiaominâs breasts had finally opened up, she was born with a lack of milk.
There was only a little bit each time, and his son would finish it after two bites.
And this child had a big appetite.
The child could only be fed breast milk and milk powder.
Li Yong was also anxious. âIâll go to big brotherâs house to take a look. They might have some!â
Qin Xiaomin glared at him. âWhat are you waiting for? Do you have to wait until your son is crying?â
Coincidentally, the little guy on the heated brick bed started crying as soon as Qin Xiaomin finished speaking.
Qin Xiaomin hurried over and touched the diaper. There was no urine or poop.
That should be hunger!
With the children around, Qin Xiaomin was too embarrassed to feed them. Besides, her little bit of milk wouldnât be of much use.
She picked up the child and waited for Li Yong to come back..
