Chapter 39: 39 Happy Tears
Han Xuewei spoke plainly, "These are tears of happiness! I'm so touched, I have babies now! Three adorable babies! There are three of them!"
When Lin Yi saw the three new lives joining the big family, his heart was also deeply moved, but he didn't have the maternal emotions that Han Xuewei displayed. He just instinctively thought that these vibrant lives were magical.
But the next second, he distinctly felt a warm current in his hand, followed by a foul smell in the air?!
Lin Yi's hand froze in place.
That feeling...
Did it get on my hand?
Lin Yi looked down and saw his daughter's face had turned bright red, and then she began to cry with soft yelps.
Han Xuewei also saw this scene, and then she saw Lin Yi's bitter face, which made her laugh.
"Oh my! This smell is too foul, isn't it? Honey, did you smell that? How can it stink so much?!"
Having said that, Lin Yi brought his little daughter even closer to Han Xuewei, who quickly covered her nose and shouted, "Quick, change the baby's diaper!"
The parents from both sides, as well as the maternity matrons present, couldn't help but laugh at this scene.
Every time Han Xuewei laughed, her own wound would hurt along with it, and she said with a pained expression, "Aiyaya, I can't laugh anymore, the wound is so painful!"
After hearing this, Lin Yi also started to worry and stopped joking with his wife.
"Does it hurt a lot? Honey, I won't tease you anymore."
Han Xuewei waited until the pain in her wound slowly subsided before she slowly said, "Hurry up and wipe our daughter's butt! This is her punishment for you, who made me hurt so much?"
Since it was still March, the weather in the north was still a bit chilly, so the heating was generally not turned off.
The nearby maternity matron said patiently, "If the child pooped, it's best to deal with it as soon as possible, as bacteria can grow easily in a warm environment. You need to use warm water to clean it thoroughly, and cleaning a girl requires even more attention to detail than a boy."
Han Xuewei then understood what the nanny meant.
Her husband was a big man, definitely inexperienced, who would know how to help their daughter wipe her butt? So she quickly said to the maternity matron, "Please, Nanny Ji, help him with it."
Nanny Ji hurriedly took the child from Lin Yi's arms, while another maternity matron helped run hot water in the restroom.
Lin Yi said apologetically, "If my sons pooped, let me take care of it as their father! That would be my punishment. After all, we have two sons, so double the punishment! Hahaha..."
Lin Yi was very earnest in tucking in the blanket for his wife, but he hadn't finished being busy when farting sounds came from the other two cribs...
Could it be???
It's really such a coincidence??
Both sons pooped at the same time!!!
"Oh my God, did you guys plot this together? Giving your old dad such a hard time!"
Lin Yi looked helplessly at his two sons in front of him.
Meanwhile, Han Xuewei tried her best to suppress her laughter, but her silvery giggles could still be heard.
Lin Yi's mother was also laughing uncontrollably, saying, "Do you think it's easy to be a dad? Your dad and I had our fair share of wiping your butt and changing diapers back in the day! We've been through the same."
"From now on, you've got kids too, and no matter what you do, you'll have to work even harder because raising three children isn't that easy."
"Okay, Mom, don't you know me? I always work hard at everything I do... Okay, okay, I'm off to change the kids' diapers..."
As Lin Yi spoke, he approached the two cribs and rolled up his sleeves.
He hadn't expected fatherhood to feel like this.
Since he lacked experience, he was somewhat clumsy with changing diapers, and it was only under the joint guidance of the two moms that he managed to get the job done.
It wasn't as smooth as he had imagined; Lin Yi not only dirtied his hands but also the baby's blanket. With no other choice, he had to replace it.
With this experience, he figured he would be much more adept at changing diapers for his sons in the future.
Even though his two sons were twins, telling them apart wasn't too difficult.
Since the eldest son's weight was normal and the younger son's weight was on the light side, he could feel the difference as soon as he picked them up.
Looking at it this way, the eldest had hogged all the nutrition from his little brother and sister! In the future, he'd have to take on the responsibility of protecting his siblings!
Since Han Xuewei had undergone a cesarean section, she still needed a stitch removal surgery. The whole family stayed by her side, waiting for the surgery to be done before they all went home together.
So every day, Aunt Zhang prepared meals for everyone, and Lin Yi and Han Xuewei's dad took turns bringing the food from home to the hospital.
Actually, Lin Yi had also thought about staying with his wife at the confinement center for a while to recuperate, but then he realized that since they had hired a maternity matron, staying at home would be more spacious.
Moreover, the maternity matron they had hired was highly capable and had an excellent reputation, as well as being a kind person.
In addition to looking after the babies, she would also give Han Xuewei professional massages and work on every acupoint on her body every day.
During this time, Lin Yi had even found one of the best lactation consultants in the city online and could even arrange for her to come home to induce lactation.
Everything was taken care of, and he had thought of everything for Han Xuewei.
Lin Yi had often seen how some women ended up with health problems because they weren't taken care of properly during their confinement period. No matter what, such a thing could not happen to his wife!
A few days later, as Lin Yi entered the hospital room, he saw Han Xuewei breastfeeding their daughter.
Han Xuewei's face immediately turned red, and Lin Yi also felt somewhat at a loss.
Although the two of them were husband and wife, and had been close before, Lin Yi had had too much to drink that day, which didn't mean much.
It was the first time he had seen Han Xuewei so shy, and for a moment, he also felt embarrassed.
Both dads would take a walk downstairs every day at this time, straightforwardly avoiding the scene, whereas the two moms and the maternity matron were already used to it.
Lin Yi paused, then said softly, "Maybe... I'll take a walk downstairs for a bit..."
Nanny Ji, whose surname was Ji, couldn't help but laugh when she saw this and said, "Mr. Lin, you two are husband and wife, how can you still be shy!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the other few people also laughed.
What she said was indeed true – what was there to be shy about breastfeeding a child?
With that being said, Lin Yi was even more at a loss, unsure whether he should leave or not.
Han Xuewei offered a way out, "It's okay, just sit on the sofa and wait, I'll be done soon."
