Chapter 316 - 305: First Month After Childbirth (Part 1)
In the hospital, when there wasn’t enough breast milk, formula was used, but at home, two dairy goat kids had been prepared. Qin Xi bought them when Li Xianglu was six months pregnant, to provide milk for the family. Now with Ba Yi and Ba’er, there seems to be not quite enough.
The two children grew as swiftly as the wind, changing every day. They were not small at birth, the elder one weighed five jin and one tael, the younger five jin and two taels, both with long legs and large builds.
Li Xianglu, who originally had long hair, had it cut into a boy’s style by Sister Xing during her confinement because she couldn’t wash her hair, planning to grow it back out after her confinement was over.
She naturally looked quite young, with a tiny face like a palm-sized melon seed. Now with her long hair cut off, she looks even younger. Many of Qin Xi’s colleagues and classmates were shocked when they came to visit after the birth, and couldn’t help asking Qin Xi in private how old his wife was, commenting that she looked about seventeen or eighteen.
With children, one has everything one needs. Qin Xi promptly handed off all his private jobs to Xu Wu.
Xu Wu was originally thrilled to be an uncle, but ended up so busy that he didn’t even have time to see his nieces or nephews, and spent his days with a dark face, scaring Da Li and the others to complain every day.
Fortunately, the Lunar New Year was at the end of January, so everyone had some time off. Li Jianqing also came back not long after Li Xianglu was discharged from the hospital, and was stunned to see his two identical nephews.
Su Yan and Li Huai Ren upgraded to great-grandparents, with the arrival of Ba Yibao keeping them extremely busy. This, however, gave Li Xianglu, the new mother, some time off.
No sooner did the two children cry out than someone picked them up, either Su Yan or Mr. Li, or it might be Li Huan, followed by a queue, Li Jianqing and a glum Xu Wu, with the children’s father, Qin Xi, at the end.
Qin Zhen’s family, with little Qin Huimin, stayed with the in-laws because of the young child, coming back from time to time when they were free, mainly to bring food for Lu Anna.
