Rebirth of Siheyuan: Starting from escaping famine in 42

"What about the child?"

When Wu Lirong opened her eyes, she didn't say anything to Li Qingfeng, but looked for the child.

Mother Wu coaxed the child and said softly, "The child is here."

He put the child next to Wu Lirong and said, "The child has finished feeding and will soon fall asleep."

Wu Lirong looked at the child and muttered, "Mom, why is the child so ugly? He looks like a little old man."

Mother Wu patted Wu Lirong lightly and said, "Your child, all newborn babies are like this. It will be fine in a few days."

Wu Lirong nodded stupidly and replied, "Oh!"

Li Qingfeng leaned over and asked Wu Lirong, "Lirong, are you hungry?"

"A little." Wu Lirong looked up at Li Qingfeng, replied, then lowered her head and continued to look at the child, her eyes full of maternal love.

Li Qingfeng said to his father-in-law and his family, "Mom, Dad, Brother Dajun, I'm going to go back and cook for Lirong first, and I'll be back soon."

Before Father Wu could finish his words, Mother Wu said, "You two can't help much here, go home first! Come back when Lirong is discharged from the hospital tomorrow."

"Fine!"

Wu Chenggui said a few words to Wu Lirong and left the hospital.

After the three of them left the hospital, Li Qingfeng said to Wu Chenggui and Wu Dajun, "Dad, Brother Dajun, why don't you go to my house to have a meal before going back, so you don't have to go home and start a fire."

Wu Chenggui thought for a moment after hearing this. He and his son were not very good at cooking, so it would be fine to go to Li Qingfeng's house for a meal. So he nodded and said, "Qingfeng, thank you for your help."

"Hey! What's the trouble?"

Li Qingfeng led the Wu father and son back home, poured them a cup of tea, and let them warm themselves by the stove in the main room.

Then he went to the kitchen, took out the old hen that had been processed in advance, found some red dates, and stewed some chicken soup for Wu Lirong.

While the chicken soup was stewing, Li Qingfeng fried two dishes, heated up more than ten steamed buns, and cooked a large pot of millet porridge.

After the chicken soup was ready, Li Qingfeng directly packed the chicken soup and the casserole, put rice for him and his mother-in-law and three or four bowls in it, and invited the father and son of the Wu family to eat. Then he rushed to the hospital with the chicken soup and rice.

When he arrived at the hospital ward, Li Qingfeng found that Wu Lirong and the child were both fast asleep. He quietly set the table and called Wu's mother to come and eat. As for the chicken soup, he would just have to wait until Wu Lirong woke up and then heat it up using the hospital's stove.

Early the next morning.

In the ward, Li Qingfeng and Wu's mother were packing up to go home.

After packing up,

Mother Wu took the child to do a final check-up.

Li Qingfeng wrapped Wu Lirong in a quilt again, stretched his hands to her knees and back, and picked her up with force.

Mother Wu followed Li Qingfeng, holding the tightly wrapped child.

Wu Chenggui and Wu Dajun were walking behind the two men, carrying things in their hands.

Wu Lirong whispered in Li Qingfeng's arms: "Brother Qingfeng, I'm not heavy!"

"It's not heavy at all, very light." Li Qingfeng came to the cart, gently put Wu Lirong on the cart, and pulled Wu Lirong towards home.

After a while, several people arrived at the door of the house. Li Qingfeng waited for Wu's father to open the door, then picked up Wu Lirong and quickly walked into the house.

Li Qingfeng had heated the kang in advance, so the room was very warm.

Wu Lirong saw that her parents' attention was all on the child and not on her, so she whispered to Li Qingfeng, "Brother Qingfeng, I feel uncomfortable all over and sticky."

"Lirong, you can't take a shower now. If you feel uncomfortable, I'll wipe you with a towel."

After Li Qingfeng finished speaking, he took the basin and walked to the stove, added some warm water, put the towel in it, and returned to the kang with the basin. He took out the towel and wrung it dry, then gently wiped Wu Lirong's face, and then wiped her neck and arms.

He picked up the towel again and wiped his hands and arms again, bit by bit, very patiently.

Mother Wu and Father Wu watched the interaction between Qingfeng and Lirong. They looked at each other and chuckled. Mother Wu asked, "Qingfeng, Lirong, have you decided on a name for your child?"

Li Qingfeng smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, my dad has written me a letter and has named me Li Weiguo, but he hasn't picked a nickname yet."

Wu Chenggui nodded and said, "This name given by your in-laws is very good. He will definitely defend the country when he grows up, don't you think, Xiao Weiguo?" As he said that, he leaned closer and teased Li Weiguo with a smile.

"I think the nickname should be Yuanyuan. The baby will be born just in time for New Year's Day." Mother Wu pushed Wu Chenggui and said, "Stay away from the child. Don't wake him up."

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

After wiping Wu Lirong, Li Qingfeng brought her some fruits and snacks, invited Wu's father, Wu's mother, and Wu Dajun to eat together, and then went into the kitchen to cook.

Li Qingfeng spent some time stewing pig's trotter soup for Wu Lirong, and the other dishes were ready in a short while. He called Wu Dajun to help serve the dishes.

During her confinement period, Wu Lirong was not allowed to take a bath, be blown by the wind, or go out.

We can only bring the food into the house and eat it.

Li Qingfeng served Wu Lirong a bowl of pig's trotter soup and said with a smile, "Lirong, try it and see how it tastes."

Wu Lirong took a sip and found it very bland. She said, "Brother Qingfeng, it doesn't taste salty at all. How can I drink it?"

After hearing what she said, Wu's mother took a sip and felt that Lirong drank just right. She said, "Lirong, just drink it this way. It's not good for you to eat too much salt during your confinement period."

After hearing what Wu's mother had said, Li Qingfeng stopped talking. After giving Wu Lirong a helpless look, he invited his father-in-law and his wife and his eldest brother-in-law to have dinner.

While eating, Li Qingfeng said to his father-in-law and his family, "Mom, please take care of Lirong during her confinement period."

Upon hearing this, Wu's mother waved her hands and said, "What's the trouble? She is also my daughter, and the child is my grandson. I am happy to take care of them."

Li Qingfeng glanced at Wu Chenggui and Wu Dajun, and then said, "Dad, Mom, don't run back and forth while Lirong is in confinement. You can all stay and eat here! This will be more convenient."

Before Wu Chenggui and Wu Dajun could finish their words, they were interrupted by Wu's mother's words.

Wu's mother made the final decision and said, "I'm tired of running back and forth every day. I think it's okay." She turned around and said to Wu Chenggui and his son, "You two go home and get some clothes to change. When you come back, see if there are any hens for sale. If there are, buy more."

Hearing this, Li Qingfeng said, "Mom, I'll go out and buy the old hen later. I've already told them."

"It's settled!" Mother Wu continued, "Then you two can buy whatever you want!"

As soon as the words were spoken, they heard bursts of children crying.

“Wow…”

Wu Lirong was standing by, stunned, and shouted, "Mom, what happened to the child?"

"It hasn't been long since the baby was fed. He is definitely not hungry. He must have urinated or defecated."

Mother Wu reached out and touched the diaper on Li Weiguo's buttocks and said, "He peed."

She picked up a clean diaper from the kang and changed it skillfully while explaining it to Li Qingfeng who was standing beside her.
