Chapter 79
After Song Dingxiang finished her postpartum recovery, she had fully recovered. Due to having hired a wet nurse, her postpartum period wasn't overly indulgent, and she had only gained a bit of weight over the month.
Her skin had become supple, fair, with almond-shaped eyes and rosy cheeks, she looked even more beautiful than before.
"Now you can truly enjoy," said Li shi, as she adjusted the children's old clothes for the twins. Her tone was filled with sighs. "When your mother nursed your sister back then, it was her first child, she had ample milk, didn't suffer much. But when she had your brother, he ate voraciously, keeping your mother up all night in pain, unable to sleep. It was fortunate that your eldest aunt also had a baby at that time, helping to raise your brother."
Upon hearing this, Fang shi sighed, "Indeed, he bit me all swollen, I didn't dare put ointment on, fearing it would harm the baby. It was truly a hardship. Look at now, Dingxiang has given birth to a baby, hired a wet nurse, and the Wang family has also sent one. You don't have to suffer at all."
Song Dingxiang just smiled, gently squeezed the tender hand of the elder girl protruding from the clothes, and said, "When they were just born, their size was quite noticeable, but now they seem to have grown to an average size."
Fang shi added, "Indeed, they've grown quite a bit. Your son has a good appetite, he finishes his food and then longs for his sister's. It's only been a month, I bet in a few more months, they'll grow even more. Look at you now, the children don't need your milk, you can eat and drink well after giving birth. Our days are truly getting better and better."
Song Dingxiang nodded, then suddenly asked, "Mom, after going through so much suffering with my brother, how did you manage to have so many more children?"
Fang shi gave her a stern glance and said, "Isn't that obvious? If I didn't have children, where would you be? Besides, how could I have known that I could have so many, that's a question for your father too."
Li shi laughed, "Your mother is a fortunate person, she only suffered with your brother, and when she had you, your Fifth Grandaunt and Sixth Grandaunt also had babies, we never went hungry. I think your cleverness today is related to the various kinds of milk you drank back then."
As they were talking, the eldest girl woke up, her big gem-like eyes looking around, her little mouth moving.
Li shi said, "She's awake, our precious one is awake, the other one will wake up too. These two little ones will want to eat and drink when they wake up, so let the wet nurse prepare."
Among the girls on the same level as Bao Ya, there were four, Jin Qiao's eldest and second sister, Zhao Di's third sister, considering this little one couldn't be called the fourth sister, Li shi simply named her Bao Ya.
As for the little boy, he was given a nickname, Yi Cheng.
In the village, it was customary to give children a humble name for easier upbringing. Also, considering that Sheng Xia was born small and fragile, and he was Zhou Yinuo's first son, they named him Yi Cheng, signifying that no matter what happens, he would be the one who remains.
Zhenshu, who was helping with the embroidery, sighed and left the embroidery frame she was working on.
Fang shi picked up Zhenshu's embroidery frame and admired it. "Look at this embroidery, it's much better than what Jin Qiao'er does. I wonder how they are doing over there now, whether they are adapting well."
Song Dingxiang replied, "Didn't we recently receive a letter saying that everything is going well?"
"Home is better than a thousand good things, oh... oh my, Bao Ya, did you wet yourself?" Fang Shi looked at her granddaughter, who was twisting like a little worm, and quickly reached out to unswaddle her.
