I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s-Chapter 645 - 644

Beidewang’s emotional transition caused a sense of unease in Wu Yuekai’s heart. Moreover, he had also heard what Bei Jiale said yesterday. He was eager to know what the problem was and believed that the child’s parents should be informed. If there’s an issue, it could be resolved early.

Although Beisitian knew there would definitely be some situation, she found it hard to resist the sleepiness. She soon fell asleep amidst the chatter of everyone.

Seeing this, Wu Yuekai left with Li Xuejun. Although he didn’t get to hold the child, he was the one who named the child, which made him very happy. So even after only sleeping for two or three hours, Wu Yuekai was quite energetic.

The old leader was happy, and naturally, Li Xuejun was happy too.

During the daytime, there were visitors. However, Beisitian spent the entire day in a drowsy state. She didn’t know who came, nor did she have the energy to care. Her uterus was still so swollen that every time the doctor came and pressed on it, the pain made her sweat cold. Now, whenever she saw the doctor coming, she would get into a battle-ready state.

This pain had long surpassed the pain of the wound on her lower abdomen, so now regarding that wound, Beisitian didn’t really feel much.

This situation was to last at least three or four days, with the lochia flowing continuously. Mrs. Qin diligently changed her pads, and the nurse cleaned her twice a day, ensuring good hygiene in the private areas.

The three little ones were quite a handful. Basically, when one cried, it would trigger the other two to cry. After three days, Beisitian finally had some milk, though very little. Fortunately, the three little ones had small stomachs, and it was generally enough to meet their needs.

"I think that when we get home, we’ll need to add a bottle of formula at night. This way, you can rest well, and the children won’t be overly reliant on breast milk," Mrs. Qin said.

She learned this from others. Babies who are breastfed at night get hungry quickly. It takes time to feed each child, then change their diapers, and an hour passes just like that. Before long, they wake up again, leaving no room for Beisitian to rest.

Going through postpartum confinement like this is very taxing on the body.

Mrs. Qin was considering the situation from Beisitian’s perspective.

However, she could not handle the three children alone. She had to listen to Beisitian and hire two more people. Gao Ma was responsible for the daily living needs, just as usual. These two temporary workers, meanwhile, were dedicated to assisting Mrs. Qin in taking care of the children and Beisitian.

"We need to find two experienced ones," Mrs. Qin said.

In recent days, aside from Luo Anguo looking after Luo Xuping, neither Mrs. Qin nor Luo Xudong had rested well. On the third day, with the doctor’s advice, Beisitian started to get out of bed.

With Luo Xudong’s support, it took Beisitian fifteen minutes to stand from the bed onto the ground, because any exertion would cause pain to the wound on her lower abdomen.

In the past two days, she had regained some energy and made herself a Xuan Talisman to expel blood clots. After drinking it, she endured pain for most of the day. Finally, her uterus was completely repositioned, and all the clotted blood was expelled.

The doctors and nurses were astonished by her recovery speed. However, they knew that this family was rather special and didn’t pry with unnecessary questions.

After staying about a week in the hospital, Beisitian was ready to be discharged. Although it was a private room, staying there was not as comfortable as being at home.

"If you say you can be discharged, let’s do it. It’s far more comfortable to do postpartum confinement at home than here," Mrs. Qin said.

Professor Qiu saw she was recovering well and didn’t ask about the appearance of another Beisitian that day. He just reminded her to come back for a check-up in forty-five days and then allowed her to be discharged.

When being discharged, Beisitian was wrapped tightly. Mrs. Qin said she shouldn’t be exposed to any wind, as it would be bad for a woman, even though she had a Caesarean section but also experienced labor pain. She should still follow the usual postpartum confinement practices.

The doctor said that a normal confinement period should be over forty days. Beisitian thought she truly couldn’t last that long. Forty days without a bath would be unbearable, yet seeing the stance of Luo Xudong and Mrs. Qin, she realized she shouldn’t dream of bathing.

This matter needed thorough discussion with them because it’s really uncomfortable otherwise.

On the day of discharge, the Wei Family Brothers came, and the elderly couple from the Tian Family as well as Tian Qiu and Tian Zhi also came. Seeing the three chubby children, they all gathered around them.

Seeing this situation, it was clear there were plenty of people to hold the babies, so there was no worry about having too many to handle.

Upon returning Beisitian to the small courtyard, everyone knew she was in postpartum confinement and didn’t pause to linger, except for the Wei Family Brothers and Tian Zhi, who stayed as usual.

Tian Qiu originally wanted to stay, but the children were too noisy. Fearing that they’d disturb Beisitian, she had to leave with her kid.

Returning to her own home, Beisitian finally breathed a sigh of relief. As the saying goes, "There’s no place like home." No matter how good the conditions are, your own home is always the most comfortable.

Gao Ma was on a long-term contract, so temporarily, the two temporary workers were her responsibility. She was to show them around the place, explaining what needed attention.

Gao Ma, being smart, recognized their temporary status. Her role was specific to the children and the mother, hence she carried no airs and explained matters to them amicably.

The two temporary workers were found with Zhou Quan’s help. After Beisitian mentioned it, Luo Xudong had Zhou Quan handle it. Zhou Quan was efficient, finding candidates who weren’t random strangers. Many were local women, known for not being scheming or lazy, and being sincere and hardworking.

Gao Ma is also someone Zhou Quan found. With plentiful family secrets, she maintained discretion, clever and trustworthy.

The two temporary workers were wives from the area, around thirty years old, quite skilled in caring for children. With them on board, Mrs. Qin’s role was relieved from being the primary caregiver.

With others taking care of the children, Mrs. Qin focused all her attention on Beisitian. Simply put, if the adult is well, the children will also be well. Beisitian needed a healthy recovery without any lasting ailments.

Seeing Mrs. Qin by her side every day, Beisitian found it immensely amusing, realizing that sneaking a bath really wasn’t going to be possible.

Now she had several meals daily, all personally prepared by Mrs. Qin. Breakfast was sesame paste and walnut paste mixed with brown sugar to eat as a thick mush. At ten o’clock, they’d cook noodles in yesterday’s bone broth with a poached egg, tasting lovely. Lunch was a proper meal, mainly stir-fried dishes focusing on vegetables, with a mild flavor since Beisitian had to breastfeed, and if she ate salty, the children would taste it too.

In the afternoon, there was an additional snack made by soaking two kinds of fruit in milk. The fruit varied daily, providing substantial nutrients.

Dinner featured a variety of milk-boosting soups like bone soup, pig trotter soup, and turtle soup made creatively, without a pinch of salt, leaving Beisitian rolling her eyes.

However, she really enjoyed the water Mrs. Qin boiled for her, a concoction of red beans, black beans, coix seeds, peanuts, lotus seeds, silver ear fungus, and goji berries, cooked together. As it was tasteless, Mrs. Qin added some brown sugar to it.
