Chapter 478 Zhou Jing's Little Ancestor
On the first day the child was born, Zhou Jing woke up countless times throughout the night. Sometimes he woke up naturally, and sometimes he was woken up by the baby's crying. The same was true for Gu Jia. It was their first child, and their hearts were firmly drawn to the child.

Zhou Jing and Gu Jia fed the baby three times and changed diapers three times in one night. They experienced firsthand how difficult it is to be a parent. Zhou Zhou is in good health so Zhou Jing and Gu Jia can worry less. Many children suffer from discomfort here and there, bloating, etc. after birth, which makes their parents even more exhausted.

"Get some more sleep!"

At dawn in the morning, the child fell asleep after feeding, and Gu Jia yawned and said.

"Would you like some water?"

Zhou Jing filled their cups with water.

Gu Jia moistened her throat, then lay down and continued to sleep.

Zhou Jing couldn't sleep, so he lay on the bed looking at his phone. After seven o'clock, the nurse began to make rounds. Zhou Jing got up and opened the door. After examining Gu Jia, the nurse clipped the thermometer under the child's armpit.

"Can I be discharged from the hospital tomorrow?"

What Gu Jia was most concerned about was when she could be discharged from the hospital. It was too uncomfortable to lie in the hospital.

"Yes, he is recovering very well, but it is recommended that he be discharged the day after tomorrow. The baby will be vaccinated with the hepatitis B vaccine tomorrow. It is best to observe him in the hospital for a day after the vaccination so that he can be treated immediately if there are any adverse reactions."

The nurse said in her heart that I could be discharged today, and if there were no abnormalities with the normal delivery, I could be discharged within 24 hours.

"Then I will be discharged the day after tomorrow. Do I need to complete any procedures in advance before I am discharged?"

Gu Jia was not in a hurry for a day.

"I'll get my birth certificate today."

"it is good."

After the nurse left, Zhou Jing sat next to the crib. It was interesting to watch his daughter sleep when he had nothing to do.

Gu Jia smiled and said, "Is there a big change between today and yesterday?"

"It's getting bigger and more beautiful."

Zhou Jing gently tickled the little guy's feet with his fingers.

"See if there's any booger in her nostrils."

Gu Jia looked at the little guy and said softly.

Zhou Jing squatted on the ground and saw that there was a little booger in the little guy's small nostrils. "Clean it up when he wakes up."

"Do you want her to make trouble sooner?"

Gu Jia looked at Zhou Jing's bored expression and smiled.

"It's boring to sleep all the time. It's more fun to make some noise."

Zhou Jing looked at the little girl and couldn't help but gently hold her clenched fist.

"What should I do if my mom and your mom both want to coax the child?"

Gu Jia thought about this problem.

"Take turns to coax them, two months each."

Zhou Jing doesn’t care who takes care of the child. It is of course good to have more elders willing to take care of the child.

Just after eight o'clock, breakfast was delivered to the family. Gu's mother and Zhou Guozhong came to the hospital together, and Wu Suqin prepared lunch at home.

"Put the stool for Dad next to the child's bed."

Gu Jia pointed at Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing took a stool and placed it next to the crib for his father to sit on.

"Pinch hand."

Zhou Guozhong, who is usually serious, smiled and woke up his granddaughter with shining eyes.

The child imitated and pinched his hands.

"Do you want it?"

Zhou Guozhong picked up the small rattle and shook it.

The child raised his little hand, obviously attracted by the rattle.

"Tickle."

Mother Gu gently scratched the child's feet.

The child instinctively retracted his legs, his mouth moved smackingly, and a little saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth.

"Are you hungry? Do you get hungry when mommy eats?"

Zhou Jing wiped her saliva and said.

"Feed her first. She can't sleep without something to eat."

Gu Jia put down his bowl and chopsticks and said.

"It's okay. Let him lie awake for a while and move his arms and legs to help with bowel movements and intestinal gas."

Zhou Jing let Gu Jia eat first. He took out a silicone pacifier from the cabinet. The pacifier had been washed when he bought it. Zhou Jing scalded it with boiling water from the water dispenser, rinsed it with cold water, and handed it to the little guy's mouth.

The little guy consciously opened his mouth and held the pacifier.

"Zhou Zhou is so good. Let mommy eat her fill before feeding you."

The child stopped crying and Gu Jia ate breakfast peacefully.

"I guess you two didn't get enough rest last night. How many times did the child wake up?"

Mother Gu asked the young couple while coaxing the child.

"I woke up three times between 11am and morning, defecated once and urinated twice."

Gu Jia said with a smile.

"One or two year olds are like this."

Mother Gu took a little yellow duck and pinched it in front of the child.

After finishing breakfast, Gu Jia fed the child while Zhou Guozhong went outside for a walk.

“How do you tell if your child is full?”

Zhou Jing said as he looked at his daughter who was eating with gusto.

"She'll block it with her tongue."

Gu Jia held the child in her arms and rubbed the child's back gently with one hand.

"so smart."

Zhou Jing pretended not to let the little guy eat.

The little guy acted very stubborn, burying his little head in Gu Jia's arms while eating.

After the child was full, Gu Jia did not put her back in the crib immediately. Instead, she held her and rubbed her tummy, letting her burp to pass gas. The child did not seem sleepy after burping, so Gu Jia continued to hold her and tease her.

Gu Jia held the baby for a while, then Zhou Jing took the baby and put it back in the crib, then wiped the baby's belly button with iodine.

Zhou Guozhong stayed in the hospital for a while and then went home with a lunch box, diapers that needed to be washed, and the baby's clothes. Gu's mother stayed in the hospital to take care of him.

After going to work at nine o'clock, Zhou Jing contacted the relevant department of the hospital to prepare to apply for a birth certificate for the child. The birth certificate required Zhou Jing and Gu Jia's ID cards and copies, and marriage certificate. Zhou Jing prepared all the materials in advance.

The staff came to the ward to take photos of the child and register the information. The birth certificate needed to fill in the child’s detailed information and the parents’ basic information.

At around eleven o'clock, Wu Suqin came to the hospital to deliver meals, and still prepared separate meals for Zhou Jing and Gu Jia.

During the company's lunch break, four key members of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd., Tang Yuan, Wang Tao, Qin Zhengyu and Li Jianwei, came to the hospital, each bringing a carton of milk and a fruit basket.

"Happy New Year, I wish everyone a happy new year."

Zhou Jing greeted several people in the corridor.

"Happy New Year, Mr. Zhou."

"Congratulations, Mr. Zhou."

"."

Zhou Jing brought a few people to the ward.

"Please take a seat. It's troublesome for you to make a special trip in the middle of the day."

Knowing that tea had been prepared in advance for the visitors, Mother Gu poured a cup for each of them.

Wu Suqin brought them stools.

"Gu Jia, this should be the first time Director Tang meets you."

Zhou Jing first introduced Gu Jia.

"I met Mr. Gu at his home last year to get his seal. Happy New Year, Mr. Gu. The baby is so cute."

Tang Yuan wished a happy new year to Gu Jia and walked to the crib.

"My dad, my mom, and my mother-in-law."

Zhou Jing continued to introduce.

"Happy New Year, uncle and aunt."

"happy New Year to all."

"Zhou Jing has been busy at home recently, and everyone in the company has worked hard."

Zhou Guozhong, Wu Suqin and Gu's mother have great respect for several key members of the company.

"It's all what we should do."

Wang Tao and others also respected Zhou Jing's family.

"Has Mr. Zhou's little princess been named yet?"

Tang Yuan is the only woman among the backbones of Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. Women are always more gentle when facing children. "My full name is Zhou Muyu, Mu means envy, Yu means fish, and my nickname is Zhou Zhou, which means millet porridge."

"What nice names! Mr. Zhou and Vice President Gu are so talented, so they must have come up with them themselves, right?"

"It was Mr. Zhou who gave it the name."

Gu Jia said with a smile.

"Mr. Zhou is very talented. The online novel he wrote two years ago is still very popular."

"Mr. Zhou is also an online writer?"

"Yes, the fantasy novels I wrote are all over the Internet, and the physical books I published are also selling very well."

"."

Tang Yuan felt that his boss was such a good man. He was so talented, capable, and family-oriented. He owned three companies. Even though his time was at the end of the Spring Festival holiday, he was able to put aside company matters and stay in the hospital with his wife and children every day. He was truly a model of a good man.

Wang Tao and others did not stay in the hospital for long. After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they returned to the company.

"How do we thank them for the red envelopes they gave us when the baby is full? I guess everyone in the company will give their share. Should we give them bonuses or treat them to a meal?"

Gu Jia looked at the gifts sent by the company and said that although Zhou Jing was their boss, he should be rewarded for such things.

"Give them half a day off, and the company will reimburse them for a meal together."

Zhou Jing is not a stingy person and will not take advantage of his employees in such matters.

"can."

Gu Jia nodded.

Zhou Jing asked his parents to take two fruit baskets home, leave one box of milk, and take the rest home.

It was the 14th day of the first lunar month when Gu Jia was discharged from the hospital. She happened to go home to celebrate the Lantern Festival, and her home was particularly lively during this Lantern Festival.

On the morning of the 14th day of the first lunar month, Zhou Jing went through the discharge procedures. At around 10 o'clock, he packed up and prepared to leave the hospital. Before leaving, Gu Jia dressed tightly and Zhou Jing also wrapped the child tightly to prevent the child from getting cold.

"I feel like I don't have to observe confinement for a month, and I feel much more comfortable than before I had the baby."

Without the burden of a big belly, there is no need to worry about any unexpected events in the belly like before giving birth. The baby was born at 6.6 jin, the right size. It took only a few minutes from the beginning to the end of the birth, and no major trauma was caused to the body. Gu Jia is now physically and mentally relaxed and does not feel the need to observe confinement after childbirth.

"Don't worry, take a good rest for a while."

Wu Suqin said to Gu Jia.

"Some systems and organs in the body will definitely change before and after giving birth, and you need to slowly adjust and restore them to the physiological state before pregnancy."

Zhou Jing was not in a hurry to let Gu Jia go to work.

"That's right. Uneducated people don't understand that if you don't take care of yourself during the confinement period, you will inadvertently develop a disease. You are educated people and you should pay more attention."

Wu Suqin continued.

Zhou Jing and Wu Suqin both cared about Gu Jia, so Gu's mother didn't say much.

"Westerners don't have the concept of confinement."

Gu Jia felt that what Zhou Jing said made sense, but she still said with a smile.

"Westerners know nothing. When it comes to physical conditioning, you should trust Chinese medicine. Western women age very quickly after giving birth, probably because of the lack of conditioning after childbirth, which leads to accelerated aging."

Zhou Jing smiled and said.

"Makes sense."

Gu Jia completely gave up the urge to rush to work and decided to stay at home for a full month.

"Happy New Year, Nurse Liu."

After everything in the ward was packed up, Zhou Jing took out a red envelope and put it into the nurse's pocket.

In the past two days, Zhou Jing gave each nurse who worked in the three shifts a red envelope of 500 yuan. It was New Year's Day, to thank them for their careful care of Gu Jia and her daughter, and also to bring good luck to the child. Yesterday, he gave a bigger red envelope to Gu Jia and the child's attending physician. The medical profession is indeed not easy. Anyway, Zhou Jing is not short of money, and as long as the mother and daughter are safe and healthy, everything else is fine.

"no, I'm fine."

The nurse declined.

"Here, it's a New Year's red envelope."

Gu Jia put it back on the nurse.

"Thank you, Sister Gu. I wish Zhou Zhou grows up healthily."

There were no colleagues around, so Nurse Liu obeyed the order respectfully. Although accepting red envelopes from patients was against professional ethics, she had to accept it because she could not resist. It is not easy for an ordinary nurse to receive red envelopes from patients.

Zhou Jing set off holding the tightly wrapped child, Wu Suqin supported Gu Jia, Zhou Guozhong drove the car to the hospital gate in advance, Zhou Jing helped Gu Jia sit down, and put the child in Gu Jia's arms.

"Jingkai, return it to me?"

Zhou Guozhong turned around and asked.

"Just drive it!"

Zhou Jing asked Gu's mother to sit in the passenger seat, and he and his mother sat in the back and squeezed in with Gu Jia for a while.

As there were children in the car, Zhou Guozhong drove extra carefully.

"Freedom is finally restored."

After returning home, Gu Jia felt the freedom she had before pregnancy.

"Jia Jia, don't take a bath yet. Wait until you're out of confinement."

Mother Gu admonished her daughter.

"Ok."

Gu Jia hadn’t taken a shower for almost half a month, and after giving birth to a child, she felt like she was starting to stink.

"I'll wipe it for you at night."

Zhou Jing carried the child to the bedroom and carefully put the child on the bed. The baby, who was only a few days old, was very small, which formed a sharp contrast with the spacious double bed, making the child look even smaller. With this elf, the home seemed to have a more homely feel.

"How about trying this crib."

Gu Jia walked to the crib that her family had bought. The solid wood crib was covered with brand new light pink bedding, and it felt like a baby's paradise.

"Don't use it for now. Put it on the big bed when the adults are watching during the day. The sea is wide enough for fish to jump, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly."

Zhou Jing looked at the little one sleeping on his side on the big bed and felt that the child would be more comfortable in the big bed.

"The bed is big enough for the kid to roll around."

Gu Jia sat on the edge of the bed. It was not cold at home, so she took off the child's cotton jacket and covered him with a small quilt.

"The little cutie is awake."

The child opened her eyes, and Zhou Jing lay on the bed and smiled at her.

"I'm the mom and he's the dad."

Gu Jia kissed her daughter's little hand.

After playing with the child, Zhou Jing went to the living room to bring the toys and the cradle to the bedroom, and put the toys suitable for the child on the bed.

"Jia Jia, try not to get out of bed. Go to bed and rest."

Wu Suqin came over and said.

"I won't go to the company during the confinement period."

Gu Jia closed the bedroom door, changed into her pajamas and went to bed.

"It won't be boring to have a little cutie at home, right, little cutie?"

Zhou Jing held the little guy's feet and kissed him.

"What should I do if I don't have to feed my child milk powder for a while?"

Gu Jia was worried that the milk powder would be bad for the child if it was left for too long.

"The adults have eaten it, and we can buy more when we need it."

Zhou Jing said while lying on his side on the bed and looking at the child.

Only adults can eat now. Gu Jia touched the child's belly and gave her a gas-relieving exercise. "Follow your mother's rhythm, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Two, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight."

“Is this exercise effective?”

"My best friend said it works. We should not let the child's neck hang in the air now. After a month, we can let him lie down more."

Gu Jia's movements were very gentle and small, and would not hurt the child.

Wu Suqin prepared lunch for Gu Jia first. Zhou Jing put the child in the crib, put the small folding table on the bed, and let Gu Jia eat in bed.

"It shouldn't be a problem to get up and eat, right?"

Gu Jia wanted to eat.

"Just eat in bed. If you can stay in bed during the confinement period, then don't get out of bed."

Wu Suqin brought the meal to Gu Jia. Today she cooked stir-fried baby cabbage, stir-fried beef with celery, tomato and egg, rice and millet porridge. "There are many dishes today. Jing should eat with Jia Jia first."

"Row."

Zhou Jing was a little hungry, so he sat on the bed to eat.

"Zhou Zhou, do you want to eat? If you want to eat, open your mouth. I can't give it to you now. Mommy will feed you later."

Gu Jia picked up a piece of beef and handed it to the child, then opened her mouth to demonstrate. The child opened his mouth, but Gu Jia ate the beef in one bite.

"You made the little ancestor unhappy and now you have to feed her."

Zhou Jing took a small toy and put it in the child's hand.
