Chapter 404: Exchange cans for
"You are their brothers and sisters, how could they not like you?" An Zhixia chuckled and said, "On the contrary, they have taken advantage. There are so many people who love them."
The two little girls’ watery eyes were very bright after hearing this.
"I will love my little brother and sister," Fang Songyan nodded vigorously.
Fang Gexin also smiled and said, "I'm a young lady!"
At this moment, Fang Yuan had already driven the car over, loaded all the things ready for hospitalization into the trunk, and then wanted to pick up An Zhixia.
She smiled and ducked away, "I just feel labor pains now, and it's still a long time before I give birth. It will be easier for me to give birth if I walk more."
Fang Yuan would be so nervous that he would feel nervous. He pretended to be indifferent, "Yanyan, Xinxin, you two take the keys to your home, pack your clothes, your textbooks and homework, and go to live with your uncle at your uncle's house later."
The two little girls reluctantly tugged at An Zhixia's clothes, "Mom, let's finish our homework early tomorrow night. Can we come see you?"
"Okay," An Zhixia stroked their soft hair, "Don't be distracted during class. Mom will be back soon."
Within a few words, An Zhiqiu had already run over before his nephew. Seeing that the girl was still in the mood to smile, he took a few breaths and asked, "Have you packed your things? It's not even eight months yet, why is it that I'm about to give birth?"
“Lao Jiao said that children with multiple births generally do not reach full term,” An Zhixia replied, not forgetting to tell the two children what clothes the three siblings should change in the past two days, and gave them some detailed instructions.
An Zhiqiu's face was also very nervous, "I called my brother just now. He had already asked someone to greet him, and he had prepared an empty bed half a month ago. Otherwise, when the season changes, even the corridor There are no beds.”
When they arrived at the hospital, Jiang Shiming was already in the ward with Aunt Zhang.
Aunt Zhang would bring sheets and quilts from home to put on them, but she was afraid that the quilts were not thick enough, so she brought two more. "I happen to be making old hen soup at home, and I want to deliver it to you tomorrow. I'll borrow the canteen to make some noodles for you later. You'll be strong enough to give birth to the baby."
An Zhixia smiled and thanked her.
She was ready to give birth, but when she finally arrived, she was still scared. But as an expectant mother, she was braver than before, actively cooperated with the doctor, and like her sister-in-law, she gave birth to a pair of twins at five o'clock in the morning.
The two little guys huddled on both sides of her, putting their hands to their mouths and chewing on them. After all, they couldn't satisfy their hunger, so they opened their little mouths and began to howl. It seemed like her heart had never been softer before.
Even though she didn't sleep all night, she was still in high spirits. She drank a bowl of brown sugar millet porridge, ate two hard-boiled eggs, and drank a large bowl of crucian carp soup. However, it was her first time to give birth and her milk had not come down yet.
They checked in late yesterday and were busy going through admission procedures, physical examinations and delivery, and did not have much communication with other people in the same room.
At this moment, the partition curtain was opened, and the sun shone in from the window, and they could see each other clearly.
An Zhixia was sitting next to the window. There was a central heater under the window, and diapers were baking on it. There was a faint smell in the air.
In an exquisite rocking bed that is twice the size of the standard size, two children, Fang Junzhuo and Fang Qingyun, are lying. Aunt Zhang skillfully took out two small bottles and brewed milk powder for them.
The milk powder was contained in an empty malted milk can, and An Zhixia replaced it with a section of formula milk powder.
The faint aroma of milk floated in the warm ward.
The middle bed was just occupied today. The pregnant woman was still giving birth. The family members brought things in to occupy it first, leaving only a slovenly man sitting on the bed.
Aunt Fang and Aunt Zhang were holding a baby and breastfeeding.
"The one leaning against the door was born yesterday afternoon. He is a big fat boy of seven and a half pounds. The whole family was very happy. I heard that this baby has six sisters!" Aunt Fang leaned close to An Zhixia's ear and whispered. He shared the information he had inquired about: "Those parents-in-law are snobbish and very annoying."
Before the words could be finished, the woman with long face and short hair and eyes carrying her precious grandson came over with a smile, looked at them all around, and said to Aunt Zhang, who was wearing a semi-old army green blouse: "Sister, what are you doing? We are so lucky that our first babies are twins of a dragon and a phoenix.
But I would say it’s better to have one child. Look at my fat grandson, one will soon overtake the two of you. "
The child in her arms howled particularly vigorously.
"The child is hungry, and his mother hasn't come down to feed him yet." The mother-in-law stared at the can of milk powder and said, "Sister, can we lend you a few spoons of milk powder? Grandpa is a master of the leather shoe factory, and I am also a member of the neighborhood committee. The child's Mom and dad have jobs, so they will definitely be able to live up to this. I will wait for the baby’s father to buy the milk powder and return it to you.”
The man who was lying down also sat up and said with a smile: "My wife is also giving birth to a baby later. She doesn't have any milk powder at home. Can you lend us some? It's not much, just enough for these two days."
As soon as he said this, the woman's face dropped, and she gave him a critical look. Her eyes lingered on his patched elbows for a moment, and she sneered: "As expected, he comes from the countryside. He will take advantage of whatever is available. . Can you afford it? Can you afford it?
Do you want your father-in-law to pay for your children? "
After saying that, she looked like the best of me and you, and came to Aunt Zhang, "Sister, look at my baby, he is very hungry. He is also picky. He just gave me two mouthfuls of millet porridge, but he didn't drink any more. , the little nose is just smelling the smell of milk powder.
If you're worried, I'll get some canned food for you. "
As she spoke, she called out to the old man. The old man who was sitting on a chair and reading a newspaper with reading glasses immediately stood up, took out a can from the net bag under the bed and came over.
"The baby's mother is in such a hurry that we haven't prepared anything. But we have already prepared milk powder tickets. When the baby's father finishes buying food, we will ask him to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it." The old woman raised her chin slightly. There were very few families who could afford to drink milk powder.
Everyone had talked about it to this extent. When Aunt Fang saw An Zhixia nodding slightly, she smiled and said: "Your children are really tough, and people like them when they see them. It's just a meal of milk powder. Let's take the canned food back to the children." ”
She scooped two spoonfuls into the bowl handed over by her mother-in-law. In fact, newborns cannot drink too much. Thirty milliliters of milk powder mixed with one level spoon is enough.
But the woman kept extending her hand and had no intention of retracting it.
Aunt Fang felt sorry for the milk powder and said, "The child has a small appetite. These two spoons are enough for him to drink two meals."
"Our children have big appetites. Two spoons are not enough. They can drink seven or eight spoons." The mother-in-law said dissatisfiedly: "If you feel sorry for this little milk powder, we will pay for it with cans."
An Zhiqiu took the can directly from the old man's hand.
The expressions of the old couple froze, and the mother-in-law thrust the bowl into the man's arms and said angrily: "Who cares about a few spoons of milk powder?" But she took the can back unceremoniously. Went back with the baby in my arms.
The man in the middle got out of bed and rummaged around a lot, then took out a jar and stretched it out. He smiled and showed a row of yellow teeth: "My wife will give birth soon, and we don't have any milk powder at home."
Aunt Fang rolled her eyes angrily: "Let's wait until your child comes out!"
The man was not angry either. He put the jar on the bedside table and continued to nest. Maybe he didn't have enough sleep. He squinted and felt sleepy, so he kicked off his shoes and got into bed and started snoring. The smell of smelly feet instantly covered up all other smells, causing the whole room to almost gasp.
The mother-in-law immediately quit, and stepped forward and shouted: "Do you have any quality? This is a public place, don't you know what your feet smell like? You are lying on the bed dirty, covered in garbage It smells sour and I don’t know what’s wrong with the hospital, but everyone is allowed in!”
The man didn’t want to pay attention to her at first.
But the more this happened, the more aggressive the woman became, saying mean words and pushing him hard.
The man was so angry that he sat up suddenly and pushed back hard.
The mother-in-law lost her footing and fell to the ground. Her face immediately turned pale with pain. She gritted her teeth and looked at her son and man, "What are you looking at? I'm almost being bullied to death!"
Before the two of them came forward, the man clenched his fists. He looked like a master of brute strength, and his words were very rogue: "Come on? I haven't fought with anyone in the village for a long time. Anyone who sees me will be shocked." Go around. You are as skinny as a stick, and you are not strong enough for me to punch you."
The father and son were also bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, so they just pulled the mother-in-law up by shrinking their necks.
Men continue to sleep with their heads covered.
Fang Yuan stepped forward and said in a cold voice: "Comrade, please put on your shoes."
"I told you, are you finished?" The man impatiently opened the quilt and looked at Fang Yuan's cold eyes and the scar on his forehead that added a fierce look. His aura suddenly shrank by half: "The hospital didn't say you are not allowed to take off your shoes. ”
“Newborns are weak and need a fresh and clean environment,” Fang Yuan said coldly, “I hope comrades can cooperate.”
The man hummed twice, then put on his shoes, feeling that the room was boring and went out.
"Look at me," the mother-in-law said, pinching her son and her husband out of anger.
The smell in the room was too bad, so they all held their children in the corridor for a while and opened the windows to ventilate.
The mother-in-law came up to talk to Aunt Zhang again: "That man just now was so thick-skinned. You may not know that his wife is an educated young man who went to the countryside to support construction. A child of my sister's family went to the countryside to live with her.
The man just now was a second-rate man in their village. He was a thief and did everything. His reputation was so bad that no girl in her twenties dared to marry him.
He saw that the female educated youth had no support and was ruining her reputation, so he just married her home.
Let's marry him and go home. He doesn't treat her well either. He punches and kicks her all day long, beating a good girl until she becomes a bit stupid.
I don’t know who came up with the idea, but he took the girl and came to find his wife, staying at his father-in-law’s house. "
