Mu Xin also said that a large baby like Jing Rui was quite rare. She felt that it could have been because Shangguan Ning had been drinking the very expensive medicinal wine which Mu Wensheng had given her. The wine was filled with nutrients and essence, which had been easily absorbed by the baby and helped in its development. Therefore, it was not strange that Jing Rui was so well developed even after being born prematurely.
Jing Yichen was not at all worried about how his son would turn out.
He replied with a smile, “Ning, our son is no different from any full-term child. When you are strong enough to get off the bed, we can go and look at other children. Then you will know that I am telling the truth. Ruirui is not behind anyone else. But you should improve your milk production because our son might be quite greedy!”
Speaking of that, Shangguan Ning felt helpless. She took the crucian soup which Sister Lan prepared for her and asked in concern. “Sister Lan, what should I do about increasing my milk? Will crucian soup work?”
She had no intention of starving her boy, and mother’s milk was the best for babies. She did not have any intention of giving her son the milk powder.
Sister Lan and Sister Fang burst into laughter as they heard her. “Lady, you have just given birth to a boy, of course you are low on milk. Don’t worry, it will improve slowly.”
“Crucian soup is best for milk. Old Du can make a soup of peanuts and pig feet. That works well too. Master Junior is definitely going to be well fed!”“Lady, drink milk every day and that will also help. It is not very difficult to increase milk. Don’t worry! Also, keep your mood steady. If you get unhappy, the milk supply may get affected and it would not be good for Master Junior, either!”
“Also, don’t be afraid of putting on weight. If you eat food with nutrients during the first month, you will be able to recover well and will have enough milk to feed him. Don’t be careless about this!”
They kept talking for long, but Shangguan Ning did not find them annoying. Instead, she listened to them very carefully.
No one had told her about any of these, and when these experienced aunts shared their wisdom, she was naturally quite grateful.
Jing Yichen was also listening to them carefully. He decided to give them one month’s salary as bonus, making Sister Lan and Sister Fang extremely happy.
They had not expected anything in return for taking care of Shangguan Ning. Seeing that she had given birth to the baby, they couldn’t help but come up with all the ideas they could think of, teaching her what she could and could not do. Now when they got the bonus, they became even more passionate.
By the time it was evening, Zhao Zhao and Old Lady Zhao came to the ward, making it lively and full of fun.
When little Jing Rui woke up next, he opened his eyes. Everyone was surprised, because none of them felt that he was like a premature child.
Old Lady Zhao was experienced, and knew much more about children than Shangguan Ning. She said with determination at the sight of Jing Rui. “This child is a lucky fellow and a strong one too.”
Getting a great-grandson, she was extremely happy, so she gave him an exceptionally huge red packet.
She was thinking that if her elder daughter had still been alive, she would have been so glad today.
Zhao Zhao obviously had thought the same thing as her. Her eyes were red and tears trickled down her cheeks. “If my sister knew that she had a grandson, she would have really shown off everywhere. I will go and burn some paper at her grave and tell her this piece of good news!”
She was a straightforward woman and didn’t regard Shangguan Ning as an outsider. She just spilled out whatever she had in mind.
Old Lady Zhao did not stop her, in fact she also became very emotional.
Shangguan Ning knew that they were all happy. Zhao Qing might not be here, but they were glad on her behalf.
She had not met her mother-in-law, yet she also felt that she should tell her about this piece of good news, personally.
“When I recover, I will go and kowtow to mother with Jing Rui.”
They were not just going to visit Zhao Qing’s grave, but also to Huang Liyu’s. Both her mother and mother-in-law did not get to see Jing Rui. That was indeed sad.
Zhao Zhao wiped her eyes and said with a smile, “It is okay, no need to hurry! We can go when Ruirui grows up. You both should take care right now. Do not get sick because of exertion.”
She was so happy that she looked several years younger. Even the worry caused by the missing Zhao Anan was not that strong at this moment.
She was thinking that Zhao Anan could go anywhere she wanted. Nothing mattered as long as she returned unharmed. Anyways, she would cut her income and break her legs, so that she would never be able to run away ever.
What a horrible person that she did not even visit Shangguan Ning after she gave birth to the baby!
Zhao Zhao was a broad-minded person. After being sad for a short while, Zhao Zhao again started to play with Jing Rui. She refused to let go of him and even held him in her arms when he was fast asleep. She couldn’t hold back her love towards the baby.
Shangguan Ning felt loved.
Zhao Zhao looked really young, but she was in her fifties. Shangguan Ning feared that she would run out of strength after holding Jing Rui for so long, so she asked her to put down Jing Rui and take a rest.
When Shangguan Ning saw Zhao Zhao today, her first thought was that Zhao Anan was still missing.
Now when she became a mother, she could understand Zhao Zhao completely.
If one day Jing Rui went missing, she would get so anxious that she might burst into tears. Zhao Zhao’s behaviour already showcased her strength.
She thought for a moment and said softly, trying to console Zhao Zhao. “Aunt, don’t worry. Anan is fine! Mu Qing is definitely going to find her. She is just a naughty girl who has hidden herself . She is not in any danger. Maybe she is having fun somewhere right now!”
Shangguan Ning was not sure what had happened to Zhao Anan, but this was all she could say, otherwise Zhao Zhao would collapse due to stress.
Zhao Zhao understood what she meant. She chuckled, stood up from the sofa and said in a relaxed tone, “Aunt is fine! I know what Anan is like. She is just very spoiled. After I divorced her father, I felt that I owed her something, so I gave into her demands all the time. When she got sick, I started to spoil her even more. That was why she became so unruly!”
She paused for a moment and then said with determination, “I am Anan’s mother and I can feel if she is fine or not. Soon you will understand what a mother and child’s connection is.”
Shangguan Ning got slightly startled and could not help but believe her words.
It was great that Anan was doing fine!
Mu Xin also said that a large baby like Jing Rui was quite rare.
