Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 326: 326 was born

The little girl smiled with her lips pressed, ”Auntie, the little brothers are sleeping.”

”Yes, they are all sleeping. Earlier, Hai Yan was really very good.” The little girl just sat in the main room without causing any trouble.

”Yuanyuan, you rest. I’ll take Hai Yan to cook.”

In the evening, the three generations of the Li Family also came over, but only Li Liyun came to see.

”Sister Yuan Yuan, how are the three children all so well-behaved?”

”Little kids eat and sleep.” This year, the little girl didn’t get too tired. She looks much better than last year.

Li Hongxiang was outside talking to Tan Shaoting about the children.

”You two are both blessed. You must raise the three children with care.

Actually, I don’t need to tell you, Yuanyuan will definitely take good care of the kids.

Xiao Tan, your work is so busy, you can’t take care of them, the mother and the four kids.”

Only at this age do you realize that everything is fleeting; being together with family, happily and healthily, is the most important.

”Mr. Li, I understand what you mean, I’ll consider it.”

Before, he aimed to give Yuanyuan a comfortable life. Now, with three children, he really needs to reconsider because he can’t let Yuanyuan take care of all three by herself; it’s too exhausting.

”It’s good that you know, young people having aspirations is a good thing, but they must have a family, a wife and kids, in their hearts.”

”Yes, I understand.”

Li Shaoguang played with Hai Yan, and when Li Liyun came out, the grandfather and the grandson left.

The Zhao sisters came over, and Tan Shaoting had them eat there. There was also chicken soup, so they directly cooked noodles in it.

The sisters were really hungry, so they weren’t polite and ate until they were full before taking Haiyan back.

After all, at night, the couple still had to take care of the children.

”Xiao Tan, maybe tomorrow Yuanyuan will start lactating. If she feels uncomfortable, you can help express it.”

Tan Shaoting nodded expressionlessly, though he felt very uneasy inside.

After sending them off, only their family of five was left at home.

Tan Shaoting cleaned up and got onto the bed, watching the mother and four kids, unable to close his eyes with reluctance.

In the middle of the night, Tan Shaoting made fish soup for Su Yuanyuan again. He only put a few noodles in it.

After Su Yuanyuan was full, she watched Tan Shaoting feed water to the kids.

”Please help me fetch a basin of hot water in a while.”

She wanted to try it out on the kids.

Su Yuanyuan wiped with a hot towel and held the eldest, trying it out.

Only then did she understand the meaning of ”using all one’s strength.”

It was really painful. Moreover, the child still hadn’t suckled properly.

However, this child didn’t fuss at all; even when he couldn’t get anything, he kept sucking.

It was ten minutes later by the time he finally nursed.

After feeding the eldest and putting him down, it was the second’s turn. Though they hadn’t been weighed, their weights should be about the same.

The second managed to nurse the other side too. The second was clearly a better eater than the eldest.

The only one left was the little girl. The little girl’s appetite was also particularly good.

The five of them tossed around for more than an hour before lying down again.

Su Yuanyuan felt that she still had plenty of milk. She knew this was colostrum, which is especially good for the children, but she really hadn’t prepared a breast pump.

So she sat up again. Trying with her hands, damn, it hurt too much. But she endured it and expressed some, storing it in the space.

This colostrum is particularly resilient, and she was unwilling to waste it.

Tan Shaoting watched Su Yuanyuan’s actions, his heart wrenching.

”Yuanyuan, is it very painful this way?”

”Yes, but this milk is good for the kids these days, so I’m saving it for them.”

A woman who becomes a mother prioritizes her children above everything. Whether it’s inconvenient for herself is not a concern.

She fed them again at midnight and still stored some milk since the kids’ appetites were still small and couldn’t consume much.

In the morning, Tan Shaoting washed the kids’ diapers. He served Su Yuanyuan food and finally had time to tidy up the house.

Little Haiyan still came over today. The Zhao sisters wanted to quickly finish up, as the work in their field was the only remaining task.

Today, Su Yuanyuan’s spirits were particularly good, so Tan Shaoting asked about his worries.

”Yuanyuan, isn’t it not yet time? How come the kids were born early?”

Su Yuanyuan shook her head, ”I don’t know either, but I think it’s because it’s multiples, so premature delivery is normal, right?”

”I’m still not at ease.” He originally wanted to ask the doctor about it, but he really didn’t dare to leave. Now if he doesn’t see the mother and the four kids for ten minutes, he feels uneasy. Even when cooking, he would occasionally come in to check.

”It’s okay. I’m fine now.” Most importantly, she’s not bleeding much below now.

The children opened their eyes shortly after birth. If they’re awake or nursing, they also open their eyes.

They look quite interesting, and the kids’ eyes are especially beautiful, like Tan Shaoting’s.

Su Yuanyuan, as a new mom, thought her kids were the most beautiful.

At noon, Zhao Yanli came over to pick up lunch. They had beef and scallion buns.

The sisters didn’t ask, assuming Tan Shaoting brought it back.

”Next time, just steam some buns for us. Leave the meat for Yuanyuan.”

Tan Shaoting grunted. He didn’t mind, but in his heart, he appreciated Zhao Yanli for genuinely being kind to his wife.

Life went on like this. Three days later, Su Yuanyuan walked around on her own. It’s already October. The weather is quite cool morning and night, so Tan Shaoting kept the house warm.

The couple bathed the three kids at noon, avoiding the navel area.

The kids change day by day and don’t look as red as when they were born.

”Someday, the three of them will surely be fair-skinned.”

”Yes, don’t they say children are born red and grow up to be fair?”

This was the couple’s favorite moment, as the three little ones were at their mercy.

Hai Yan watched from the side, feeling very curious.

A few days later, the Zhao Family’s cotton was all picked. They borrowed Su Yuanyuan’s donkey cart to deliver cotton seeds to the plant.

The plant had promised. Whatever cotton seeds you deliver, the cotton seeds produced later will belong to you personally, since they can be machine-pressed for oil.

The two sisters didn’t keep any cotton this year, so they delivered it all. Now, only the cotton stalks in the field remain, which can wait to be plowed down.

The two sisters took Hai Yan to Zhao Qingxiang’s house.

They felt really bad about leaving Hai Yan here. Tan Shaoting was busy serving the confinement period and taking care of the kids alone.

At Zhao Qingxiang’s house, they saw the older sister-in-law peeling corn. There were already five baskets of corn.

”Have you finished picking your cotton?” Sun Yun asked with a smile.
