Chapter 1001: Chapter 1005: Sensible Daughter
"My breast milk is definitely enough for them," Qiao Duo’er said confidently.
She had just finished feeding not long ago and already felt her breasts were refilling; at this rate, milk production wasn’t going to be a problem.
Tan Zhenghong was quite awkward, hesitating for a while before giving a clumsy excuse.
"Although he is young, he is a man."
The little guy was restless while nursing; besides eating, he couldn’t help but reach out and touch now and then, which annoyed him greatly.
Qiao Duo’er rolled her eyes, "Childish!"
Both her son and daughter were her treasures; she wouldn’t favor one over the other because favoritism could negatively impact the psychological growth of both children. She vowed to treat them equally.
After a mental struggle, Tan Zhenghong gritted his teeth and said, "Then he can only nurse until he’s one year old."
"Deal!"
Qiao Duo’er agreed promptly; after all, breastfeeding needed to be weaned off after one year as its nutritional value couldn’t meet a growing child’s needs.
Tan Zhenghong looked at the two little ones seriously nursing and then at the spot they were latched onto; he resigned himself to it in silence.
Forget it, he would lend it to them for a year, after which no one else should even think of touching his private territory.
Qiao Duo’er’s attention was completely on the little ones, completely missing the rapidly changing expressions on Tan Zhenghong’s face, or else she could have teased him about this for a lifetime.
In this world besides Tan Zhenghong, who else would compete with their children for affection?
Newborns have tiny stomachs, and after just a few sips of milk, they drifted back to sleep.
Just then, Qing Yue brought in the food, and Tan Zhenghong moved the little ones aside to let Duo’er eat properly.
Lunch was prepared with millet porridge, pork liver soup, and two light dishes. Qiao Duo’er poked at them with her chopsticks, unsure of where to start.
Now, most of her attention was on the pain of her contractions, the food tasted bland, and she had no appetite at all.
"Madam, your body is weak now, you can only eat light foods, otherwise, it’s not good for your health, and it can also lead to plugged ducts. Can we change the dishes once you feel a bit better?" Qing Yue patiently advised.
This was the best food for a postpartum woman’s body.
Qiao Duo’er pouted, "I don’t feel like eating anything right now."
"Then... I’ll make you some fruit tea to stimulate your appetite, and then you won’t feel this lack of appetite," Qing Yue suddenly thought of a solution.
Soon after, the fruit tea was brought over.
The fruit tea was sour and sweet, just right in flavor. Qiao Duo’er finished it quickly, and although it filled her stomach, it also stoked her appetite.
Eating the special postpartum meal prepared by Qing Yue then became easier to swallow.
Following that, Qiao Duo’er was only responsible for three things: eating, nursing, and sleeping. Even so, she still found it very exhausting.
Because both little ones would cry every half hour, and each time, they wouldn’t stop until they got what they wanted.
Sigh, she wondered who they inherited their stubbornness from.
They had just been put in their little beds not long ago when one of the babies started howling again.
Tan Zhenghong immediately went to check and, seeing that his daughter had made a mess, his expression instantly changed.
For him, there was indeed a different treatment between his son and daughter.
"You can’t disturb your mother’s sleep; if she doesn’t rest well, her health will suffer, and you need to be good," Tan Zhenghong tapped his daughter’s nose then lifted her from the little bed.
After washing her and changing her into clean clothes and diapers, the little girl laid her head sideways and fell back asleep, snoring softly.
Tan Zhenghong was secretly pleased; he didn’t see it as a fluke but rather believed that his daughter had understood his words and was also feeling sympathy for her own mother.
