"Alright, my little darlings, this is our home."
Liu Banxia called out happily as he pushed the stroller through the door.
The past few days in the hospital have been very fulfilling for Liu Banxia.
Yuan Yuan’s symptoms of toxic megacolon have been controlled, but she still needs a few days of recuperation, which is a gradual recovery process. There’s no need for fecal transplantation or surgery, which is the greatest luck for Yuan Yuan.
On the surgical front, Liu Banxia performed five surgeries.
Three NOSES surgeries and two emergency surgeries. He completed them quite well; anyway, Liu Banxia was very satisfied with himself.
However, the two little guys had no reaction to his enthusiastic introduction, even though they were awake and had their eyes open.
Tang Dou led his group of kids wagging their tails as they ran over in unison. It was quite a torment for them too.
Even though their days at the Qiu Family’s place were pretty good, they could go out and play happily every day. But not seeing Liu Banxia and oh, Qiaoqiao, disrupted their routine and made them a bit anxious.
The target of Tang Dou’s paws was Liu Banxia. It jumped straight onto him, humming happily.
As for the Beifeng? They surrounded Qiaoqiao tightly, but that was only at first. Then the five of them got their attention drawn to the two little babies being carried out from the stroller.
They’ve never seen such tiny babies; Doudou was the smallest they’d ever seen. But even back then, Doudou was quite big, at least big enough to play with Beifeng.
"Alright, you guys just watch quietly." Qiaoqiao rubbed each of them one by one.
"Dear foodie Qiao, we are going to have some delicious food tonight, too bad you can’t eat it." Qing Kewa said gleefully.
"You just want to make me drool, that’s such a pain." Qiaoqiao was truly in such distress.
She really didn’t expect that, after making it through childbirth, she would be tormented by cravings. Never had she imagined that one day she’d find herself drooling over kebabs.
It happened yesterday, when Qing Kewa, having a fun time in the hospital, went out to buy some skewers.
Her foodie nature is strong too; her first mission when coming over was to see the two little babies, and the second was to eat.
This made Qiaoqiao crave so much, watching them eat, she was salivating.
Today is officially the day to return home, and there will be a table full of good dishes. However, she still has to eat the postpartum confinement meals and can only watch others feast.
"Why don’t we switch the babies to formula? It’s about time for them to start. Their appetite has been increasing daily; I’m worried you won’t be able to manage." Liu Banxia suggested.
"I’d still like to stick to breastfeeding. Once the first month is up, I can eat whatever I crave, and if needed, they can just have formula for those days." Qiaoqiao replied with a bitter face.
"Taking care of little babies, it’s the moms who suffer the most." Peng Xiuqin remarked.
"Mom, can we skip the soup today? I really can’t drink any more." Qiaoqiao pleaded.
"Alright, today we’ll just mix some formula for them. The little ones have been growing fast." Peng Xiuqin smiled and said.
"I’ll make you some small wontons then, so you can have them with soup." Wang Jingxian suggested with a smile.
"Mommy, mommy, brother, sister." At that moment, Doudou, who was watching the excitement with Tang Dou’s family, shouted happily.
"Always wanting to play with your younger siblings. Now that we’re home, you can play with them every day." Liu Banxia said.
"Yes, Doudou play." The little guy nodded obediently.
"Since your postpartum discharge has cleared, you can now have a bit more salt." Liu Banxia leaned beside Qiaoqiao again.
"Sigh... why do I still have such a broad back and waist? Is my devilish figure gone forever?" Qiaoqiao complained.
"I must keep breastfeeding them and maybe I’ll get thin from that. These two little ancestors, really, it’s been so hard for their mom." Listening to Qiaoqiao’s grumbling, everyone laughed.
This mom’s effort is indeed tough, and it’s why everyone admires her.
Could soups and meat with little oil and less salt be tasty? For the sake of feeding these little ones, Qiaoqiao just about force-fed herself every day.
And these little ones? They’re really big eaters.
Eating more and more every day, their little bellies always round and full. In Qiaoqiao’s words, they take after Liu Banxia, and there’ll be three big eaters in the house in the future.
"Qing Kewa, won’t taking such a long leave affect your work?" Liu Banxia asked.
"No, I want to watch them grow up." Qing Kewa said with a serious face.
"I think you just want to eat more, and possibly spend Spring Festival here." Qiaoqiao exposed Qing Kewa’s real intention.
"No, greedy Qiao, this is my reward for working hard." Qing Kewa said earnestly.
If she hadn’t held back herself, everyone might really believe it.
There are quite a few people gathered at Liu Banxia’s home today, with Bao Chunlai’s family, Qiu Huaili’s family, plus Liu Banxia’s family, it’s quite a crowd.
Rou is now resolutely determined to take care of the little babies. However, according to Liu Banxia’s observations, Rou’s mental state is recovering very quickly.
He has discussed this issue with Tian Yu, and according to Tian Yu’s understanding, Rou’s attention is entirely focused on the two little babies, she doesn’t care about anything else.
The two little babies are like nourishment for her mind, and once she really recovers, she might not work as a nursery teacher.
She’s also a teenager, after all, their thoughts are unpredictable.
But overall, it’s a good thing. Liu Banxia never expected his two babies to have such an effect.
"Do you think Tang Dou knows these are the two little babies it often listens to against my belly?" Qiaoqiao nudged Liu Banxia.
"Who knows, anyway, the little animals are quite magical. Just look at now, they are all diligently staying beside the two little ones." Liu Banxia said.
"If it were before, we hadn’t seen them for such a long time, they’d definitely be having a good time. Now they’ve just greeted us and are keeping watch over them."
"Listen to my advice, offer a little more formula to the babies. I’m afraid you’re working too hard, they really eat a lot."
Qiaoqiao nodded, "Feed as much as possible daily, and use formula to fill in the rest. Especially at night, you handle the formula feeding."
"No problem at all, it’s what I’ve been meticulously training for in the hospital. Wake up with their cries, and then get right back to sleep." Liu Banxia hurriedly responded.
"You now, don’t feel too relaxed with your talk. Their sleep time is getting shorter, and they’re more active at night." Wang Jingxian said.
"Even if you’re full of energy, you may not be able to cater to them. I’ll bring Doudou’s rocker over, tie a string, it might help a bit."
"Are they really so fussy? Doudou was very well-behaved." Qiaoqiao asked curiously.
"You’ll be amazed by what they can do." Wang Jingxian replied.
"Especially your little girl, I’ve seen quite a few babies, but none like her. Wakes up crying, stops when she feels like it."
Qiaoqiao was a bit troubled, indeed, her daughter has a knack for this.
She used to think it was fun hearing others say her daughter is great, now it’s genuinely less charming. At the hospital, the little one could happily cry and play with you.
Everyone worked together, and the meal was prepared quite quickly.
Although Qiaoqiao couldn’t eat as much as everyone else, she enjoyed her small wontons.
She really had no say over the food, mostly just a choice among the dishes on offer. As for flavor, she had to make do.
"Hey, did you notice anything unusual? Why hasn’t the second baby cried today?" Qiaoqiao asked curiously after eating for a while.
With her remark, it seemed to be the case.
All the way home, and with cooking and eating, almost four hours had passed, but the two little ones were still peaceful.
Liu Banxia became a bit anxious.
Though the second baby’s crying can be worrying, now with no noise, he was afraid something was up.
When he moved to the sofa, the second baby’s eyes were wide open, seemingly looking at Tang Dou’s head.
Tang Dou also sat on the sofa, overlooking the two little ones. Occasionally looking at the second baby, then the first child, quite busy indeed.
After all, the little babies have poor vision just born. Even with Liu Banxia very close, it didn’t catch the second baby’s attention, and Liu Banxia quietly moved back.
"Seems returning home was the right choice, Tang Dou’s quite skillful at babysitting, the second baby’s awake playing on her own." Liu Banxia said.
"My gosh, is it real?" Qiaoqiao perked up suddenly.
"So true, she’s really curious about Tang Dou." Liu Banxia laughed.
Now everyone was intrigued, carefully moving to the sofa one by one.
No way around it, though the second baby seems a bit sluggish now, if she wants to cry, she doesn’t care about the outside situation.
Everyone who went over came back delighted.
Tang Dou indeed has a knack for babysitting, sitting there, occasionally shaking her dog head.
As for her four children, they lack the patience, only interested in the two little ones initially, now with food served, they disregard everything else.
"Sigh... they say dogs are perceptive, so true." Liu Qingdong remarked.
If Tang Dou didn’t have personal thoughts, she wouldn’t stay on the sofa this long. Watching Tang Dou now, she surely deserves a big chunk of beef later.
