Chapter 387: Children are like this: the things you forbid them from doing, they insist on doing
Lian Lian now sleeps with her mom and dad every night, so she would definitely not be used to sleeping with her great-grandfather now.
Old Master Lu waved his hand and sent the three little ones, who had been bathed and smelled fragrant, to his granddaughter's bed.
"Old Pei, let Manman and her husband take Lian Lian tonight."
Old Master Pei saw Lian Lian playing on the bed with her older brother and younger sister, and his heart relaxed.
"Fine."
Since the little one was so happy, let her continue to be happy.
An hour later, Jiang Ye and the others returned home.
Old Master Pei asked a few questions about the situation with his granddaughter, and after learning that everything was safe, he went back to his room to sleep with peace of mind.
Tomorrow morning, they would get up early, make breakfast, and bring it over.
Old Master Lu had about the same idea; yawning, he went back to his room to catch up on sleep.
"Dad, Mom."
"Aunt, Uncle."
The children had all been bathed and smelled fragrant.
"Don't come over yet, I haven't bathed yet. I'll come and hold you after I'm done."
Shen Man hadn't bathed yet and was carrying bacteria, so she didn't dare to hold the children.
Jiang Ye had about the same attitude; he only watched over the children by the bedside and didn't hold them.
They would hold the children after his wife finished bathing.
This was for the children's health and was also being responsible.
The children were very obedient; seeing that their mom and dad were very tired, they didn't pester them for hugs.
However, they took the opportunity to occupy the territory, sleeping in a sprawled mess.
When Shen Man returned from bathing, the children were already asleep, their snoring rising and falling.
Hmm, it was clear that they had consumed a lot of energy during the day; it was really hard on Grandpa and Amei.
"I'm going to bathe, you go up and rest first."
Jiang Ye lit the mosquito coil; there was some smell in the room, but it was acceptable.
The mosquito net had long been let down; absolutely no mosquito could survive inside.
"Okay."
Shen Man had been tired all day and was indeed very exhausted at this moment.
Without thinking about anything else, she crawled into the mosquito net, found a spot, hugged the nearest child, and fell asleep instantly.
This night was a very good sleep.
Little did they know, unknown danger was on the way...
Once the three days were up, Pei Yan Ting was successfully picked up from the hospital by her family, starting her postpartum confinement mode.
Military dependents and colleagues who were on good terms with them sent tonics and items that the children could use one after another.
The three older ones at home were all very curious about this new little brother.
The little brother opened his eyes, and after seeing them, his first reaction was to wail loudly—
"Woooooo."
Xiao Nuomi shivered in fright and hurriedly hid behind her brother.
Xiao Mantou was quite calm; he stood on tiptoe, reaching out to cover the little brother in the swaddling clothes.
Lian Lian didn't even need to be mentioned; she reached out directly to cover her brother's mouth.
Si Si didn't dare to move, just opened her eyes wide and looked at the new little brother with a puzzled expression.
Why couldn't this little brother talk, and why couldn't he walk?
If the little brother got out of bed and walked, she could give her ball to the little brother to play with.
Pei Yan Ting was lying on the bed and wasn't in a hurry to stop the little ones' actions.
After all, they were biological brothers and sisters; how could they possibly harm each other? At most, it was just curiosity and a sense of strangeness between children.
Children are like this: the things you forbid them from doing, they insist on doing.
Since they were all very curious about the newly born brother, let them explore for themselves.
"Don't cry, big sister will give you candy."
Lian Lian was helpless and subconsciously used the tricks she often used to coax her younger brothers and sisters.
However, it was clear that this brother couldn't understand what she was saying at all and didn't buy it, just wailing loudly.
"Waaaaa."
Xiao Nuomi was also annoyed by her brother's crying and cooperated by coaxing:
"Shuai Shuai, as long as you don't cry, big sister will give you her favorite toy."
"Waaaaa."
Clearly, this trick didn't work either; Shuai Shuai was still crying non-stop.
"Brother, are you hungry? Or did you poop?"
Xiao Mantou saw this, thought for a long while, and subconsciously went to open his brother's swaddling clothes, and sure enough, he smelled a very smelly odor.
"Smelly, brother pooped, I'm going to call Auntie."
Si Si also echoed, and then followed brother Xiao Mantou to call the adults to come in.
Amei was washing diapers by the well in the courtyard at this time; after hearing the voices of Xiao Mantou and Si Si, she hurriedly put down her work, wiped the water off her hands, and trotted to the next courtyard to get busy...
"Amei, thank you."
Pei Yan Ting couldn't be exposed to the wind and still had a sweat towel wrapped around her head.
Postpartum illnesses are mostly caused by not being well taken care of during confinement, the mother being overworked, and lack of sleep, leading to illnesses like blood and qi deficiency.
Therefore, during confinement, the whole family united to help her get through the difficult recovery period.
During this period, everyone put her first, not letting her worry, letting her take care of the children, so she wouldn't feel depressed, chest tightness, or shortness of breath from the children's noise...
Her own family taking care of her like this, she felt it was within reason, but Amei, an outsider, also taking care of her like this, made her feel grateful.
No matter what, she would compensate Amei.
"Aunt Pei, don't say that, this is what I should do."
"You are in confinement now, just take good care of your body, you don't need to worry about other things."
Amei smiled dismissively; kindness is mutual. Aunt Shen and Aunt Pei were usually very good to her and her aunt's family, so she did these things willingly, without asking for anything in return.
Besides, she was now familiar with taking care of children, so when she gave birth in the future, she would be familiar with it too; at that time, she believed that besides her aunt's family, Aunt Pei and Aunt Shen would also take care of her accordingly.
While the two were talking, Shuai Shuai's swaddling clothes had already been changed to clean ones. The little one's uncomfortable areas had been cleaned, and he wasn't crying anymore, just curiously opening his wet, big eyes and looking around, inexplicably adorable.
"Mom, brother isn't crying anymore."
Lian Lian happily circled the cradle; brother wasn't crying anymore and smiled at her!
She felt like she had gotten a new toy, and her mood was super good.
Xiao Nuomi saw that the smelly diaper her brother had changed was replaced with a clean one, and only then did she dare to approach the swaddling clothes.
A big question mark in her little head: did she also poop when she was little?
And then Mom and Dad, and the grandparents helped her wash?
Xiao Mantou clearly also had a thoughtful expression; could it be that he also pooped around like that when he was little?
Si Si didn't have so many thoughts; her brother and sister were circling the little brother, so she circled too, focusing on imitation and learning!
Amei signaled for the little ones to be quiet and let the brother in the swaddling clothes rest well.
She went to wash the diapers first and would come back later to mix milk powder for the little one to drink.
Although the old ladies in the village all said breast milk was good, she saw Aunt Shen and the others all saying to feed milk powder!
Xiao Mantou and the others weren't all growing up to be intelligent and outstanding?
So she thought, milk powder feeding was very good. Those who didn't care about the pregnant woman's body and forced the pregnant woman to breastfeed—was it really in the name of being good for the child?
Or was it to save milk powder money, preferring to make the pregnant woman suffer? ===== CHAPTER 388 =====
