Chapter 215: Premature Child Anian Gets Twins
"Should we add some sugar to it? Will the child dislike it? This taste...will goat's milk be okay? Otherwise, I should go find two wet nurses. Human milk is better than goat's milk."
She was very worried, because these two children were the most precious of their Pei family. If something went wrong because of drinking goat's milk, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
Instead, it was Aunt Mushao who shook her head. In her opinion, goat milk was much safer than human milk. They could control what the goats ate and used, but it was hard to say about humans. If one of them had bad intentions and ate something he shouldn't, the child would suffer even more.
So he rejected the matter and then made the arrangements to Pei Ziyao.
"Don't think too much. The child might like the smell of milk. There's no specific time limit for using goat milk. Just wait until your sister-in-law can start feeding the child normally. Once you get through the first month, it will be much easier later on."
After listening to her, Jiang Shiyuan also thought so. This child was one she had risked her life to keep, so she naturally had to take good care of him. That was why she was not afraid of hardship at all. She just wanted the child to get the best nutrition. So, goat milk was goat milk. She was confident that she could provide for two children in a short time.
After having this idea, Pei Ziyao didn't say much, but his ears had been alert all this time, and he would wake up at the slightest movement even at night.
At the beginning of July, Mrs. Pei returned to Hanzhou and went straight to Pei Zisu's mansion, but she found it empty-handed. Fortunately, Pei Zisu had received the news early, so he hurried to find Jiang Shiyuan, wanting her to move back to the mansion to give birth to the child.
A few days ago, the Prince of Han got married, but she did not show up. Although everyone was curious, they did not dare to ask too much. However, Pei Zisu found the King of Han and told him everything in advance.
Upon hearing that Pei Zisu had two children, the King of Han was naturally happy for him. He rewarded him with many things. However, Pei Zisu was afraid that it would be too ostentatious so he did not accept any of them. He said it would be more appropriate to wait until his wife gave birth.
The King of Han knew that the situation of the Pei family was complicated, so he agreed.
In the wooden house, Liuhua and Luoluo were packing their luggage. Jiang Shiyuan was lying on the chaise longue, looking a little tired.
Her nine-month-old belly had already made it a little inconvenient for her to move.
Living in this wooden house these days, it is quite quiet as no one disturbs her on weekdays. She originally thought that the child would be born here, but she didn't expect that she would have to go back. However, for the sake of the child, she had to agree.
Unfortunately, before she had packed her luggage, she started to have abdominal pain.
At first she thought it was just ordinary labor pains, but gradually she found that there was some pattern, so she asked Pei Zisu to find Aunt Mushao to take a look. They were also packing their luggage. Uncle Han was sitting there, looking a little weak. When Aunt Mushao saw Pei Zisu's expression, she immediately asked a question.
"Giving birth?"
"I think so. Aunt, come with me!"
When she arrived at Jiang Shiyuan's place, Luoluo and Liuhua, who were still packing their luggage, surrounded her, very anxious, while Pei Ziyao went to the kitchen to boil water. She remembered that her aunt had said that if the baby was to be born, plenty of water must be supplied.
After a careful examination, it turned out that she was about to give birth.
These children probably can't bear to leave this place, so they have to be born here. Fortunately, everything is prepared, so they obey the instructions of Aunt Mushao and do whatever they are told to do. She is experienced and can command the three of them with ease.
Jiang Shiyuan had heard Aunt Mu Shao talk about the things to pay attention to during childbirth many times before, so he was exhaling to ease the pain. "I'll give you a few needles first to stop the pain, and then I'll remove them when your cervix is almost fully dilated. Then you can push as much as you want and breathe as you want. Do you understand?"
"Understood. Thank you, aunt."
After just a short while, Jiang Shiyuan's sweat began to drip down. She felt a pain all over her body from her hair to her toes, but as Aunt Mu Shao's silver needles inserted into her body one by one, the pain seemed to gradually decrease.
Until the end, although there was pain, it had become bearable for her, especially compared to just now, it was nothing. She breathed a long sigh of relief. She had originally thought that this childbirth would be very painful, but she didn't expect that Aunt Mushao saved her a lot of pain.
"Go get the elixir and keep it ready at all times."
"Yes, Mrs. Han."
Liuhua quickly took out the life-saving pills. Ten pills were prepared at that time, but the ninth-month pill had not been taken yet and the baby was in labor, so there were two pills left.
"Don't worry, twins are smaller than normal babies, so they will be easier to give birth to. After they are born, take these two pills. This will help you recover quickly. Do you understand?"
Jiang Shiyuan nodded, and now she would do whatever Aunt Mushao said. Pei Zisu, who was standing beside her, held her hand quietly and refused to go out no matter what.
"You are giving birth to my children and risking your life for me. Why would I be inappropriate? If there is any conflict or bad things happen to me, I will definitely hold your hand tightly and watch the birth of the two children before I feel at ease. So, Ah Nian, don't think about chasing me out."
After hearing this, Jiang Shiyuan was speechless. The pain in her stomach came in waves. Although it was bearable, it still tortured her for several hours, from day to night, and then to the next day.
It was already dawning when the child began to move gradually. When the morning light rose slightly from the ground, Aunt Mushao said something.
"The cervix is open, you can push now."
At that time, Jiang Shiyuan had practiced breathing many times before, and finally he put it into practice. After several times in a row, Pei Zisu heard the sound of the baby falling to the ground.
The sound of the first child landing on the ground was as loud as a bell, and then Aunt Mushao shouted, "It's a girl." Before everyone had time to be happy, another baby's crying appeared soon.
When Mu Shao carried him out, the child's voice had some of his grandmother's crispness, but not as loud as the voice just now. Aunt Mu Shao took a look and then said, "It's a son."
With the cooperation of Liuhua and Luoluo, they quickly washed the two children clean, and then said something with rare excitement.
"You two are really lucky to have both a son and a daughter."
When Jiang Shiyuan heard this, he felt a little exhausted.
