Chapter 243 Poor woman
After a baby is born, a woman can normally produce milk within a few hours.
When Luo Cheng rushed to the hospital, he saw Zhao Qian already breastfeeding her baby. However, Luo Cheng immediately realized that something was wrong. His wife was breastfeeding the child, but who was the child in Hongxiu's arms?
"Second brother, you are back."
"What's going on? The nurse brought one over this morning. Your sister-in-law didn't give birth to two."
"It belongs to the woman opposite the bed. My sister-in-law saw that the woman opposite was pitiful and helped to feed her. The woman opposite did not produce breast milk, and it may be because she gave birth to a daughter. You were not here just now, and her family came to take care of her. gone."
Luo Cheng looked at the woman opposite. She didn't have any look on her face at all, and her eyes were just looking straight at the child in Zhao Qian's arms. He and Hongxiu looked at each other so clearly that the other party didn't even turn his eyes.
In this era, sometimes it's not that everyone is cruel, but that's just how fate is. In an era where sons were preferred over daughters, if in the past, if a girl was born, it would be a girl. Life would be a little more difficult, so just raise it. But these days, if you give birth to a girl, you may give birth to a baby on the same day and lose a lot of it in the evening.
Especially for this woman who has yet to produce milk, her family may have disliked giving birth to a girl. It is impossible for people to find ways to get milk powder or something. He didn't even want to go to the trouble of getting some milk-producing food for the woman to eat.
As for Zhao Qian, Luo Cheng took good care of her during her pregnancy, and her health was already good. Regardless of the fact that she had just given birth to milk, she had no problem feeding two newborn babies.
The feeding was almost done, and Zhao Qian asked Hongxiu to return the child to the woman in the opposite bed. When the child was in the woman's hands, the woman's face finally gained some expression. They are all poor people, and Luo Cheng can't say anything. If this woman cannot breastfeed and her family does not take care of her and provide her with good food, her child will most likely die.
At about five o'clock, Luo Cheng asked Hongxiu to go back first with the lunch box and enamel cup to get some food. Logically speaking, Luo Yan should have returned from her hometown. Luo Cheng asked her to go back to the town to inform her parents and Zhao Qian's parents, and then have someone catch a hen from the chicken coop in the town and bring it back to stew. of.
Judging by the time, we should be in time to catch the shuttle bus back to the city. He hasn't come to the hospital yet, either because he was delayed and didn't return to the city, or he was making dinner at home. But Luo Cheng had better arrange for Hong Xiu to go back.
After Hongxiu left, Luo Chengcheng sat beside Zhao Qian's bed and chatted with her. I asked if my son’s nickname has been chosen yet. If it’s a nickname, I’m not in a hurry to choose it now.
As for the nickname, it's really good. After all, this is not a rural area. Taking a dog egg is indeed a bit unsophisticated. After all, Luo Cheng could be considered a cadre, so his son's name couldn't be too mean. So I thought of two nicknames, one is Xiaohao, or Haohao, and the other is Xiaojun.
The word "Hao" refers to the spirit of Haoran, which means "Wen". The word "jun" means military force, which can be regarded as both civil and military. If this was before liberation, force would definitely be needed, but Luo Cheng knew the development of the future era. Although the country was still fighting, there were no large-scale wars. And in the future, he will pay more attention to writing, so Luo Cheng thinks that calling him Haohao is not a bad idea.
After deciding on the name, Luo Cheng and Zhao Qian are planning a bright future.
It was not until half past five that Hongxiu and Luo Yan came to the hospital. They stewed a whole chicken and brought them all in several lunch boxes. I'm going to be hungry tonight. There is a canteen here in the hospital where you can heat yourself up. Just put the coal on the stove and heat it up.
Luo Cheng was happy here, and so were most of the mothers in other hospital beds. Only Zhao Qian was helping the woman on the bed across from her just now. She was all alone. It was too much for no one to come and see her at this meal.
"Yanzi, give this to that woman."
"Brother, this is a chicken, who is that woman?"
"Just take it if you are told. They have no milk, and the baby is a girl, and the family is not here to take care of it. Give it to them and see if they can produce milk. If they can produce milk, the baby may still be alive." Can live."
"Oh, this is too cruel. I just gave birth to a baby girl, and she is still in the hospital. I just don't care."
Luo Yan didn't expect to see such a thing when she came to the hospital. She had seen a lot of this patriarchal preference in the countryside. We often see abandoned babies in some cellars, but there are no adults who don’t take care of them. That’s really heartless.
As soon as the hot chicken was delivered, the other party was also stunned. Needless to say, meat is so precious these days. They met by chance. Before, someone helped her feed the baby, and now this. But she also wanted to be able to produce breast milk, and she couldn't say no.
In a short time, they were all eaten, and I regained some energy. I also know that I can't go on like this. At least they are helping me, so I can't keep silent.
After finishing the chicken soup, the woman stood up and thanked Luo Cheng and the others. But it's hard to say whether milk can be produced. There are many reasons for not producing milk, including insufficient nutrition.
Zhao Qian may have given birth to a child and has a strong maternal instinct. She saw the other person's child and hadn't drank milk for a long time. I plan to help feed him again. Now that the child is young, he can’t drink much at one time, but he drinks often. I need to feed him almost every two to three hours.
This time I helped with breastfeeding, and the other party thanked me very gratefully.
Logically speaking, Luo Cheng should accompany Zhao Qian in the hospital tonight. But he planned to replenish the food at home. Luo Cheng didn't replenish the noodles after finishing last time. The main reason is that it is not good to replenish food immediately after eating. It seems that he is too capable.
Luo Cheng asked Luo Yan and Zhang Hongxiu to take care of Zhao Qian in the hospital today, and he would not go back so early. Now that he is a father, he has to inform his colleagues every day, and the neighbors in the yard also have to thank him first.
So the family stayed in the hospital until after nine o'clock, and after nine o'clock, the woman in the opposite bed also tried to breastfeed her child, but it seemed that the milk was not coming out. This is another mixed bag of milk on Zhao Qian's side.
"Oops, I forgot about Er Gouzi. Yanzi, you saw Er Gouzi when you were cooking at home in the evening."
"No, Ergouzi came here in the morning. If you didn't tell me, I would have thought he went back to town in the afternoon."
Luo Cheng shook his head. It was impossible for Ergouzi to return to town. Whether or not this matter was completed, he would give Luo Cheng an explanation. And even if there was no one in Luo Cheng's home, Ergouzi knew it was the right time to come to the hospital, because he had found it here in the morning.
"In this case, I'll come here early tomorrow morning, and then go to work to ask for leave. You guys will take care of my sister-in-law in the hospital, and I'll go back and see if Ergouzi is waiting for us at home."
"Okay, second brother, don't worry, we're here."
"Yanzi, I will bring breakfast over tomorrow morning. You still have to go to work in the factory tomorrow morning. In the afternoon, you won't have any work anyway after you finish your work. It doesn't matter if you come back early then."
"I know, brother."
After the explanation, Luo Cheng said a few words to Zhao Qian and left. Luo Cheng was a little puzzled as to where these two idiots had gone. Logically speaking, the matter he explained would be resolved soon.
