Chapter 477 Dad’s Daily Life

After the child was born, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia were not so bored anymore. Even if they stayed in the ward all day, they could have a lot of fun playing with the child when they were bored.

Newborn babies only eat and sleep, so Zhou Jing can play with them while Gu Jia is feeding her.

“I feel like I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.”

Also lying on the bed, Gu Jia would rather lie at home.

"Stay for another three days to prevent inflammation and infection."

Zhou Jing was not in a hurry to go home. He treated Gu Jia in the hospital so that she could recover as well as possible after giving birth.

Gu Jia looked up at the drip bottle, then returned her gaze to the crib and said with a smile, "The little guy can really sleep."

"Will you cry when you wake up?"

Zhou Jing reached a hand into the child's quilt and gently rubbed the child's chubby and soft soles of his feet.

"If they cry, you can comfort them and rub the soles of their feet and palms more. This will help with nerve development."

Gu Jia was not worried about the child crying when he woke up. As long as he was not crying because he was sick or uncomfortable, it was okay for him to cry if he was woken up by being amused.

After rubbing the little girl's feet, Zhou Jing continued to rub her hands. The little girl always clenched her fists when she slept, and Zhou Jing gently stroked the back of her hands.

"Wake up soon."

Noticing that the child's mouth moved, Gu Jia smiled and said.

Zhou Jing stopped teasing her, took his hand back, sat on Gu Jia's bed and said, "Give the little cutie a little golden dragon necklace and a pair of bracelets when she is discharged from the hospital. What gift do you want?"

Gu Jia thought for a few seconds and said, "I don't know either. Just give me whatever you want."

“Being casual is the hardest.”

Zhou Jing was thinking in his mind that he hadn't sent Gu Jia a bouquet of flowers in the past few days. Flowers are beautiful but they wither easily, and Gu Jia is not very fond of flowers. Zhou Jing thought of making a bouquet of roses with pure gold, roses that will never wither.

"It must be easy since you have such a vivid imagination. Have you thought of a gift?"

Gu Jia said with a smile.

"I got it."

"What are you going to send?"

"I won't tell you now, so you guess."

Zhou Jing kept it a secret and prepared to give Gu Jia a surprise. A bouquet of golden roses should be able to make up for the fact that Zhou Jing didn't have the habit of sending flowers.

"Earrings, necklace, bracelet, or ring?"

These were all Gu Jia could think of.

"neither."

Zhou Jing shook his head.

"That's worth looking forward to."

Gu Jia became even more curious, but she didn't ask too much at this time. It was better to keep it a little mysterious.

Gu Jia pinched Zhou Jing's cheek and said, "Aren't you sleepy after not sleeping last night? Go lie down for a while."

"I sleep during the day but can't sleep at night."

Zhou Jing's mind was full of his daughter today and he couldn't sleep at all.

"I don't know if the little one will make a fuss at night. If he keeps asking for milk, he won't be able to rest well at night."

Gu Jia looked at the child. After the child was born, she slowly realized that adults' psychology would change after having a child. When there was no child, each other was everything to the couple. After having a child, there was a bridge between the couple. With this bridge, the relationship between the couple was undoubtedly closer. At the same time, a lot of their hearts were divided by the child, and the divided hearts of the couple were gathered on the child.

"It will be fine after the age of three."

Zhou Jing was mentally prepared to be woken up by his children at any time at night. Being a parent is not an easy thing.

Gu Jia's drip was finished. Zhou Jing turned off the catheter controller and pressed the call button, "Change the dressing."

"There's none left today. Pick up tomorrow's medicine and send it to the nurse's station before six o'clock."

The nurse came to the ward, removed the needle for Gu Jia and said.

"it is good."

Zhou Jing nodded.

Around five o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Suqin and Gu's mother came to the hospital and brought food to Zhou Jing. Gu Jia's meal was dragon beard noodles.

Zhou Jing's meal was much more sumptuous, with braised pork, lamb, and cold beef.

"I want to eat yours."

Gu Jia's dragon beard noodles had light soup and only a little chicken thigh meat. Zhou Jing's looked even tastier.

"You can eat if you want."

"Chew the meat till it's tender."

Wu Suqin and Gu's mother are experienced people. Until they were not so fragile during the confinement period, they did not necessarily have the conditions to eat well as they do now.

"Then I'll eat it."

Gu Jia was not that particular about confinement after childbirth, but after hearing what her family said, she stopped holding it in and ate some solid food.

"Eat. A good appetite means that your digestive system is fine. If your digestive system is fine, you will eat well and recover quickly."

Zhou Jing picked out two pieces of braised pork without fat for Gu Jia.

“There’s no chili or garlic in the dish.”

In order to ensure that her daughter-in-law could eat with peace of mind, Wu Suqin was careful when cooking and did not add any irritating seasonings to the dishes for her son.

"How many times did Zhou Zhou drink milk in the afternoon?"

Mother Gu sat next to the crib, smiling happily at the sleeping baby.

"I woke up at around 2 o'clock and ate once, and then at around 4 o'clock."

Zhou Jing said while eating.

"The child also has a good appetite. Is the child passing gas smoothly?"

Wu Suqin was also in a happy mood, her eyes were full of joy as she looked at her little granddaughter.

"It went well. I had two bowel movements this afternoon. The meconium should be almost gone."

Talking about other people's feces and urine while eating will affect Zhou Jing's appetite, but talking about his own kid's feces and urine will not affect his appetite at all. Not to mention talking, even if the kid's feces and urine are thrown on his face, it will not affect Zhou Jing's appetite. This should be the nature of all living things, just like animals will clean the dirt off their cubs by licking.

"It's easier for adults to raise children if they are tougher."

Mother Gu reached her hand under the child's buttocks to see if he had urinated.

"I hope she's tougher, but staying in the city all the time is worrying. Air pollution is a problem."

After having a child, what Gu Jia is most worried about is the air quality. The air quality in the city is hard to describe. The endless cars on the road are emitting exhaust gas all the time. The fact that children in the city are prone to illness must be related to air pollution.

"When the children are older and less busy, bring them back home to live. The conditions in the countryside are pretty good now."

Wu Suqin was also worried.

A new house was built in my hometown in the countryside two years ago. The yard is clean and tidy, and the roads in the village are paved. It is comfortable to live in my hometown. There is a car at home, which is convenient for driving and is suitable for raising children and living in old age.

"After I was weaned, my mother took me back to the countryside."

Zhou Jing wasn't too worried. With his physique in such good shape after his rebirth, the child should have much better resistance than ordinary children.

"Sure, you can come home once or twice a month."

Wu Suqin had no problem with that; having a child to take care of was something to do.

“I want to go back to the countryside, too.”

If it weren’t for the company, Gu Jia would definitely return to Qing County.

"The villa area in Tangdu has a nice environment and a high greening rate."

Zhou Jing has already bought a villa in Tangdu. It will be completed this year and available for occupancy next year. In addition, Zhou Jing is also planning to buy a house in another remote but better place.

After dinner, Zhou Jing went to get tomorrow's medicine while there was someone watching over him in the ward.

At around six o'clock, the child woke up again. The little guy kicked in the quilt and started crying, his watery eyes full of tears.

"You peed, didn't you? Daddy will change your position."

Zhou Jing touched the little guy's butt and found it was wet. Zhou Jing moved the little guy to another position and wiped his butt with a tissue. The little guy immediately stopped crying.

"It turns out that my butt is cold and uncomfortable."

Wu Suqin gently held the child's feet, took out the wet diaper and mattress and replaced them with dry ones.

"Are you hungry?"

Mother Gu gently rubbed the child's belly to help relieve the gas. The little guy smacked his lips, and his bright eyes looked around and stopped at Gu Jia.

"Do you want a hug from your mom?"

Zhou Jing said while holding the little guy's feet.

The little guy kept smacking his lips. Gu Jia smiled and said, "He must be hungry."

"Let her move around before feeding her."

Zhou Jing rubbed the soles of the little girl's feet with one hand and rubbed her palm with the other.

The child grabbed one of Zhou Jing's fingers and looked at him with a rich expression.

"Do you remember what Daddy looks like?"

Zhou Jing gently scratched the little guy's palm.

The child loosened his hand, then pinched Zhou Jing's fingers again.

"You're so good for not crying or making a fuss."

Mother Gu gently held her granddaughter's other hand.

"Wink for Grandma."

Zhou Jing demonstrated blinking, and the little guy actually blinked.

"Zhou Zhou is so good."

Wu Suqin tickled the child's feet.

"Let's have dinner."

After letting the child move around for a while, Zhou Jing carefully picked her up and put her in Gu Jia's arms. Gu Jia unbuttoned her clothes and fed the child.

After watching the child finish feeding, Wu Suqin went home to make a midnight snack, while Gu's mother stayed in the hospital to look after the child.

With his mother-in-law around, Zhou Jing could feel more relaxed. He went out to see his mother off to a taxi, then walked around the streets near the hospital and bought some food to eat when he was bored in the evening.

Zhou Jing bought some fresh fruits and snacks, and called Gu Jia to ask if she wanted to drink milk tea.

Gu Jia smiled and said, "Can I have some milk tea?"

Zhou Jing said: "You can drink less to relieve your craving, otherwise I will drink and you will be greedy."

Gu Jia thought about it and thought it would be okay to satisfy her craving: "Then I want taro balls and pearls."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Jing walked into the milk tea shop and ordered a cup of taro ball pearl milk tea and a cup of red bean milk tea.

“I want to eat everything I see.”

Gu Jia looked at the things Zhou Jing bought and said.

“You can try them all.”

Zhou Jing glanced at his daughter who had fallen asleep again and put his things down.

"Pour me half a cup and I'll drink the rest. Hot or cold?"

Gu Jia should exercise restraint and just satisfy her cravings.

"Yours is hot."

Zhou Jing poked a hole in the edge of the taro ball milk tea with a straw, poured half a cup for Gu Jia, and gave the rest to his mother-in-law.

Mother Gu took a sip of milk tea and said, "Does the family need to prepare anything before you are discharged from the hospital?"

"Everything is almost ready, just wipe the crib."

Zhou Jing had prepared everything that needed to be prepared in advance.

"Move your bed in the bedroom to the middle tomorrow, and we'll clean up the bedroom and under the bed."

Before her daughter was discharged from the hospital, Gu's mother planned to clean the house thoroughly.

"Okay, let my dad move the bed." Zhou Jing nodded, put a straw in his own milk tea, handed it to Gu Jia and continued, "Try mine, it's cold."

Gu Jia took a sip of Zhou Jing's milk tea and said, "Hui Fei may come to BJ next month to attend Zhou Zhou's full moon celebration on behalf of Zhao Minjuan and Zhang Rui, and take her son on a trip for a few days."

"Then I'll book the hotel in advance."

Zhou Jing nodded.

"Ah."

Gu Jia thought so too. It was not easy for her best friend to come from far away, so she should not be negligent in entertaining her.

"Has Huifei's son been promoted to first grade?"

Zhou Jing took an tangerine and peeled it while speaking.

"He is six years old this year and will be promoted to first grade in the fall. Huifei's son suddenly became naughty last year, swearing and fighting in kindergarten. Even his father couldn't control him. Huifei was the only one in the family who could control him."

"Boys are like this. They are at their most mischievous at the age of five or six."

Mother Gu said with a smile.

"When boys become naughty, you can't discipline them too strictly. Too strict discipline will suppress their individuality."

Zhou Jing is a boy, and he hopes that his son will have some personality, and not be too strict since childhood so that he grows up to have a sheep-like and lifeless personality.

"It's not good to be too flamboyant. If we have a son in the future, I think you will need to take care of him. I'm afraid I won't be able to intimidate him."

Having a child was not as difficult as imagined, and Gu Jia confirmed the idea of ​​having a second child.

There is no problem with Zhou Jing. He can't bring himself to do that to his daughter, but he can use the Seven Wolves education on his son appropriately.

Mother Gu got the important information about preparing to have a second child from the conversation between her daughter and son-in-law. She was very happy and hoped that her daughter could have both a son and a daughter.

The child was sleeping. There was no bed screen on the crib in the hospital. When it got dark, Zhou Jing only turned on the lights in the living room to prevent the light from affecting the child's sleep. The child could not be disturbed while sleeping. Zhou Jing sat next to the crib, watching his daughter and eating fruit.

"Natural birth confinement doesn't take a month, right?"

Gu Jia wants to return to work as soon as possible.

"Take a week or two to see how your recovery goes."

Gu's mother did not ask her daughter to stay in bed for a month. It didn't matter if she didn't have to do physical work at work.

Gu Jia looked at Zhou Jing and said, "It should be fine tomorrow, go to work!"

"Not in the next one or two days, wait until you are discharged from the hospital."

Zhou Jing is not in a hurry in the next two days because of something happening in the company.

A little after nine o'clock, Wu Suqin came to the hospital to deliver a midnight snack. Gu Jia had some meat for dinner, and the midnight snack was lighter, so she cooked some millet and walnut porridge.

Zhou Jing and Gu Jia had a midnight snack, while Wu Suqin and Gu's mother went home together.

"Put a diaper on the child and go to bed early!"

Gu Jia touched the child's bed. He didn't wet the bed. He had been fed half an hour ago, so he wouldn't wake up for a while.

Zhou Jing opened the cabinet and took out a diaper. He gently lifted the child's bottom and put the diaper underneath. He observed the child for a while and prepared to rest. "Don't turn off the lights outside!"

"Don't turn off the lights, just lock the door."

Gu Jia was worried that someone would steal or switch the child at night.

Zhou Jing went to the nurse's station and asked what they needed to pay attention to at night. The nurse said that the child should not sleep too deeply, and should get up two or three times to see if the child has defecated. If the child cries, they must wake up to see what's going on.

Back in the ward, Zhou Jing set three alarms on his mobile phone, one at twelve o'clock, three o'clock, and five o'clock. The alarm tone was not loud. Zhou Jing did not need the alarm to be too loud, nor did he like it to be deafening.

Lying in bed, Zhou Jing's mind was full of the child. He couldn't sleep too deeply at all, and the child was in his dreams even when he was asleep. Not long after falling asleep at less than twelve o'clock, Zhou Jing woke up to check on the child.

"Are you awake or not?"

Gu Jia was a light sleeper and woke up when she heard the noise.

"You're awake. Go back to sleep. I'll call you when I need to feed you. Don't cry even if you pee, little cutie. You don't need to put on a diaper. The cushion with edges will be uncomfortable."

Zhou Jing took out the diaper and threw it away, then took out a thin cotton diaper.

"Don't cry, little cutie. Daddy will change your diaper. The diaper has left marks on your butt. It must be uncomfortable."

The child woke up, and Zhou Jing coaxed him while putting a pure cotton diaper under the child's butt. The diaper was thin and large, so the child would not feel uncomfortable.

"You are better at taking care of a child than a woman. She should not be hungry now. Do you want to moisten her mouth with some water? Just treat it as water."

Gu Jia looked at Zhou Jingdao who was performing the movements skillfully.

"No, I peed a lot this time, so I'm not short of water. So feed me less, it's a little hot in the bed."

The child's body was hot, and Zhou Jing was worried that the child would be uncomfortable due to the heat. Drinking water would help regulate body temperature.

The child had trouble controlling the amount of food he was eating, so Zhou Jing took out the bottle, scalded it with boiling water, and gave it to Gu Jia after it had cooled down.
