Chapter 1369 New Dad
Liu Yibang shook his head. "It's not that I don't believe it, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I'm always worried. Here, I'll take it."
Liu Yibang took the food box from Liu Meilan's hand. "There's so much, can we finish it all?"
"Yours, and Uncle Mi's and Aunt Mi's too!" Liu Meilan chuckled. "Third Sister-in-law instructed us to go back quickly."
Upon arriving at the ward, Liu Yibang quickened his pace. "Xiaomi, are you... are you alright?"
Mi Xiaonan laughed, "Very well, look how anxious you are. You're all travel-worn and can't hold the baby. After you finish eating, go back, take a shower, change your clothes, and then you can hold the baby."
Liu Yibang smiled and said, "Okay, Mom and Dad, you've worked hard. Let's eat."
Liu Meilan had already taken the food out of the food box and arranged it neatly.
"It's not hard work, but you've come all this way. You must be tired. Hurry up and eat." Mr. and Mrs. Mi put a lot of food in Liu Yibang's bowl.
Liu Meilan helped Mi Xiaonan breastfeed the two children. "Third sister-in-law, hang in there for one more day. If everything is fine after tomorrow's check-up, you can be discharged. You'll feel more at ease at home, but there are many children there. Why don't you stay at the apartment?"
Mi Xiaonan quickly waved her hand, "No need, I just like lively atmospheres. Although our children are mischievous, they are also sensible."
Although the apartment building was quiet, Mi Xiaonan didn't like it; she preferred liveliness. After all, she couldn't leave the house, and if it wasn't lively, she would go crazy.
"Really?" Liu Meilan asked doubtfully, counting on her fingers. "There are really too many babies in the family. If you think it's noisy, just say so. Don't be shy. After all, it's postpartum confinement, so getting proper rest is the most important thing."
Mi Xiaonan nodded, "I know. If we don't get enough rest, we'll change places."
After finishing his meal, Liu Yibang went home to take a shower and took his father-in-law and mother-in-law's luggage home. After settling them in, he returned to the hospital to be with his wife and children.
Mi's mother was worried about her daughter, so she insisted on staying here overnight to help her daughter breastfeed the baby.
There were two beds in the room. Mi's mother had her own bed, while Liu Yibang rented a folding spring bed from the nurse and made do for the night.
The next day, after a thorough examination by doctors and nurses, it was determined that there were no problems and the patient could be discharged.
Professor Xie and Mrs. Mi each held a child and sat in the van. Liu Meilan and Wang Miaoxiang helped pack their things and put them in the van.
"Xiaomi, I still have to go to work, so I won't see you back. Take care." Wang Miaoxiang was very polite, which was more than enough for a sister-in-law.
Mi Xiaonan waved, "Second Sister-in-law, you go ahead and get busy. So many people are taking care of me! I still want to thank you for taking care of me!"
Wang Miaoxiang chuckled, "Of course."
When I got home, it was very quiet because all the children had gone to school.
The room has been cleaned up, and there is a small bed next to the big bed, specially for the two children!
Liu Yibang learned to hold the baby and change diapers from his mother and mother-in-law, gradually becoming more skilled from being clumsy at first.
When the children came home from school and heard that their aunt had returned, they quickly ran over.
"Third Aunt, I want to see my younger brother and sister!"
"Third Aunt, I want to see my younger brother and sister!"
The children were chattering away, but Professor Xie stopped them at the door, saying, "You little firecrackers, quiet down and don't disturb your younger siblings' sleep!"
Upon hearing this, the previously boisterous children all covered their mouths.
Fu Ying asked softly, "Grandma, is it okay now?"
Everyone looked at Professor Xie expectantly.
Professor Xie smiled and said, "Go wash your hands first, then change your coat before coming to see your younger siblings and aunt!"
The children were very well-behaved; they ran to the small pool and washed their hands one by one.
However, his mischievous nature was triggered the moment he saw the water, and he playfully splashed water on others, then started laughing and joking again.
Liu Meilan glared at them. "Wash your hands properly, or you'll be locked in your rooms doing your homework! And once you're done, you're not allowed to come out. You'll have to do your test papers!"
This statement was incredibly effective; the children, who had been laughing and playing, instantly became quiet and lined up to wash their hands.
After they washed their hands and changed their clothes, Professor Xie and Liu Meilan led them in.
They first went to greet their third aunt (third maternal aunt), and then went to the crib to see their younger brother and sister.
The children stared in astonishment, exclaiming, "Our little brother and sister are so tiny! They're only this small!"
Professor Xie said with a smile, "You were like this when you were kids too!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" The children shook their heads repeatedly. Except for Little Stone, none of them admitted that they were that small.
Liu Meilan was both amused and exasperated. "Everyone grows up from this size!"
Fu Ying held out her finger, "Mom, can I poke my little brother and sister's faces?"
Liu Meilan refused, saying, "Your younger siblings are too small. You're not careful and you might hurt them! You can play with them when they're older!"
The children, who had been eager to touch their faces, quickly withdrew their hands, asking, "Why do the younger siblings sleep during the day?"
Liu Meilan explained, "Because your younger siblings need to sleep 18 hours a day, they need to sleep a lot to grow! As they grow older, they'll be able to sleep less! Okay, everyone's seen it, go out now! Go eat first, and Mom will take you out to play later, so don't make a fuss at home!"
"Okay!" The children left reluctantly, turning back every few steps.
Although it was a bit noisy when we ate, we could keep the noise away from Mi Xiaonan and the child once the door was closed.
After dinner, Liu Meilan took the children out to play. When they were tired, they came back to wash up and go to bed, trying her best to create a good resting environment for Mi Xiaonan and the children.
Because her sister-in-law gave birth, Liu Meilan hasn't been to the company for the past two days and hasn't had time to check her email.
Now that she has some free time, Liu Meilan turns on her computer and starts dealing with the issues in her email.
The message sent by the wafer fab in Shanghai made Liu Meilan frown slightly.
She needs to make time to go there; Hu Jian might not be able to handle things over there right now, so it's a good opportunity to visit her maternal grandparents.
That evening, Mi's mother and Professor Xie wanted to come and keep their daughter-in-law company, but Liu Yibang and Mi Xiaonan refused.
"Don't worry, Moms! I can hold the baby and burp her now. I can take good care of the baby and Xiaomi!"
Mi Xiaonan also chimed in, "Yibang learns very quickly, and now he holds the baby quite well! We're young, staying up a little late is nothing. You two should get some rest, otherwise I won't be able to rest easy!"
Professor Xie and Mi's mother exchanged glances. Although they were worried about Mi Xiaonan, they also knew that the couple hadn't seen each other for a long time and wanted to spend some time alone.
“Okay!” the two agreed, and then instructed Liu Yibang again on how to change the baby’s diaper and wash his bottom.
When Liu Yibang came out to pour water, Professor Xie specifically and carefully instructed her, "I know you and your husband haven't seen each other for a long time, but Xiaomi just gave birth and needs to rest well. You can't do anything reckless!"
