The midwife said, “She’s in good spirits. The wound was torn and it took three stitches. She’ll be fine after resting for a while.”
Fang Yusheng felt terrible when he heard that there were three stitches in the wound.
“Okay.”
Fang Yusheng personally pushed Qiao Jiusheng back to the ward.
The delivery room was on a different floor from the ward. They had to take the elevator downstairs. Fang Yusheng pushed Qiao Jiusheng into the elevator, and Qiao Jiusheng held his hand. Fang Yusheng quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”
Qiao Jiusheng said, “It really hurt when I was suturing just now.”
Fang Yusheng hated that he could not suffer on behalf of Qiao Jiusheng.
“There are three mothers who have just given birth in the delivery room. They came to the hospital early and were all given painless injections. They look so energetic after giving birth.” Qiao Jiusheng sighed and said, “I regret going to see Ouyang Chao’s performance.”
Fang Yusheng regretted it even more than her.
“You’ve suffered.”
Qiao Jiusheng nodded and said, “I’ve indeed suffered this time. Do you want to give me a reward?”
“What do you want?”
Fang Yusheng was willing to give her the entire world.
As long as she wanted it, as long as he could afford it, he was willing to give it to her.
Qiao Jiusheng said, “When my figure recovers, accompany me to Paris. We won’t do anything else. Let’s shop, shop, and shop for a day.” Buy until your heart aches and your liver hurts everywhere.
This time, when Fang Yusheng heard Qiao Jiusheng say that she wanted to spend money, his heart did not ache. He quickly nodded and said willingly, “Alright, I’ll buy you whatever you want.”
Qiao Jiusheng leaned her head back and pressed it against Fang Yusheng’s abdomen. She sighed and said, “Mothers really get rich because of their children. Our stingy Young Master Fang is also willing to spend money for me. I’m terrified.”
Fang Yusheng was speechless.
She was still in the mood to act. It seemed like she was in good spirits.
When she returned to the ward, Qiao Jiusheng saw that Lisa and Chi Baoguang were there. Her heart warmed and she called out to her parents.
Lisa walked over and hugged her. She asked her what she wanted to eat and Qiao Jiusheng said, “I don’t want to eat anything else. I just want to eat some ice cream.”
Lisa said, “I heard that the Chinese pay attention to many things during confinement. Don’t even think about ice cream.”
Qiao Jiusheng’s eyes darkened.
She said, “Then give me a bowl of light porridge…” Before Qiao Jiusheng could finish speaking, she smelled the fragrance of brown sugar eggs. She turned back to look at the corridor and saw a middle-aged woman holding a bowl of hot brown sugar steamed eggs. It smelled especially fragrant.
Seeing Qiao Jiusheng’s yearning gaze on the brown sugar steamed egg in her hand, Lisa and Fang Yusheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. “I’ll make it for you now.”
Lisa brought a pot herself.
Aunt Jin had brought the eggs from her hometown. She asked Qiao Jiusheng how many she wanted to eat. Qiao Jiusheng thought about it and said, “Six.” She had just given birth and felt that she could eat a cow.
Lisa was shocked by the answer. “Are you sure?”
She sized up Qiao Jiusheng’s body and doubted her appetite.
Qiao Jiusheng nodded solemnly.
Lisa took six eggs and steamed them twice.
Qiao Jiusheng really finished all six eggs.
Fang Yusheng was dumbfounded. Even Chi Baoguang raised his eyebrows in surprise. Fang Yusheng wiped Qiao Jiusheng’s body and changed her clothes. Qiao Jiusheng quickly fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was already night.
Lisa fell asleep on the next bed, and Chi Baoguang went back. Fang Yusheng leaned against Qiao Jiusheng’s bed and slept soundly. The ward door was already locked, and Qiao Jiusheng wanted to go to the toilet.
She had to wake Fang Yusheng up.
Fang Yusheng woke up and heard that she wanted to go to the toilet. He quickly found her cotton slippers and helped Qiao Jiusheng to the toilet. After she squatted down, Fang Yusheng took a small basin of warm water and poured some iodine into it.
The doctor said that this could disinfect and clean.
After serving Qiao Jiusheng in the toilet, Fang Yusheng realized that her clothes were drenched in sweat again, so he brought water to wipe her down. After changing into clean clothes, Qiao Jiusheng came to the crib and looked down at her daughter.
“She’s so cute.”
Like a little monkey.
But she also found it cute.
Fang Yusheng stood beside her. The couple stared at their younger daughter, their hearts unbelievably soft. Qiao Jiusheng touched her daughter’s face and said, “Yusheng, have Cheng Cheng and the rest been here?”
“I’ll get Dad to bring them over tomorrow morning.”
“Yeah.”
They stared at the little fellow for a few more minutes before resting.
The next morning, the doctor came to check on the child’s condition. When he found out that the child had already defecated, he took out an instrument to check the child’s jaundice and temperature. After the checkup, the pediatrician said, “Mr. Fang, your child’s yellow threshold is high. I suggest you transfer the child to the pediatric hospital for treatment.”
Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng could not bear to send the children to the pediatrics hospital. She was still so young and went to the hospital alone. No matter how they thought about it, their hearts ached. Chi Baoguang happened to bring the two children over. After hearing their situation, he said, “She has to be hospitalized. For the sake of the children.”
Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng understood this logic, but they could not bear to.
Fang Zicheng and Fang Zikai stood by the baby’s bed. Fang Zikai stretched out an index finger and wanted to poke his sister’s face. Just as his finger reached out, it was pinched by a hand.
Fang Zikai turned his head and glared at his brother. “Why are you grabbing my hand?”
Fang Zicheng said, “You’ll hurt her.”
“No way! I’ll be very gentle.”
Fang Zicheng hesitated for a moment. He looked at his sister’s delicate face and then at Fang Zikai’s hard fingers. His eyes turned cold and he said in a stern tone, “That won’t do either.”
Fang Zikai retracted his hand and scolded, “You forgot about your younger brother after having a younger sister. You’re half-hearted!” He ran angrily to the high stool by Qiao Jiusheng’s bed and sat down.
Fang Zikai crossed his arms and looked a little aggrieved.
Qiao Jiusheng asked him what was wrong.
Fang Zikai was waiting for Qiao Jiusheng to ask.
He quickly complained, “Brother is biased. He doesn’t allow me to touch my sister and said that I would hurt her! He’s biased. He just likes my sister and doesn’t like me. My sister has just been born. Everything I do is wrong. What should I do in the future!”
Fang Zikai felt that his position of being doted on in his brother’s heart was not guaranteed. “He’s half-hearted and fickle-minded. He’s a heartless man!”
Qiao Jiusheng was speechless.
She quickly interrupted Fang Zikai and corrected him. “You’re wrong to say that. You can’t use those sayings on your brother.”
“I know. These words can only be used on you and Dad.”
Just as Fang Zikai finished speaking, Fang Yusheng hit his head. “Nonsense.” Those words were also not suitable for him and Qiao Jiusheng.
Fang Zikai pouted and glanced at Fang Zicheng. He realized that Fang Zicheng was still staring at the little girl. His gaze was like he was sizing up a piece of gold, filled with curiosity and love.
He was extremely jealous.
He could not help but blame his parents. “Why did you give birth to a boy back then? Couldn’t you have given birth to a girl?”
