"Oh~I know. Husband, be careful when you’re out," Yan Jinsu said dazedly, watching her husband quickly get dressed in his military uniform.
Afterward, she moved forward with frustration and stuffed the folded prescription into the pocket on his chest, her hand gently brushed over his scabbing wound, her face filled with worry.
Seeing that new flesh had grown, she began to button his shirt, her voice weak, allowing one to hear the reluctance in her tone.
She had thought that her husband would take her home and not leave tonight.
Who would have thought that a casual topic she brought up ended up keeping her husband busy with work? But she couldn’t regret it, as the people in the county town were innocent after all.
To speak unpleasantly, it was them, the husband and wife, who implicated others. Yan Jinsu felt somewhat guilty.
Seeing that her husband was leaving, even though she was unwilling in her heart, she could only go along with his decision.
"My wife, since Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi haven’t been breastfed these past few days, shall we switch to formula from now on?" Xie Jingchen changed the subject.
He was also filled with reluctance; his wife had just escaped from hardship, and yet, he had to leave her because of his work responsibilities, feeling the same reluctance and guilt.
But the important matter was pressing; he couldn’t stay.
As his little wife was helping him with his clothes, he simply wrapped his arms around her waist and attempted to divert the conversation by asking tenderly.
To prevent his wife from shedding tears, which would make him feel even worse.
Speaking of which, over the past two months, every time he saw the two babies constantly competing for attention with him, he didn’t show it outwardly, but inside, he was not pleased.
Initially, he thought his little wife’s plan of breastfeeding for only six months was too little, given the current environment where newborns are breastfed for over a year.
But now, he feels that two months is enough.
He truly felt pained for his little wife.
She had completed her postpartum recovery without gaining any weight, and he felt that his wife was still slimming down, just like now, as he touched her waist - so slender, unlike other women loaded with postpartum baby fat.
His wife had given birth to two babies, and aside from her rounded belly, she hadn’t gained an extra bit of fat anywhere else.
Previously, he inadvertently heard a colleague say, breastfeeding is not only giving milk but also vital energy.
Now, it seemed quite accurate to him.
After all, it’s two babies; they must have exhausted his little wife.
"Ah?" Yan Jinsu was surprised by her husband’s question, "Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi are still small, they should be breastfed for at least three to four months."
"No, they are too clingy. Otherwise, let’s express the milk." Given Xiaojiu’s intelligence of a two-year-old now, Xie Jingchen was really reluctant for his little wife to breastfeed personally anymore.
Call him petty or patriarchal, but expressing milk would still work.
From his observations during this period, Xiaojiu at only two months has shown developmental progress typical of a two-year-old child, considering his pace of intellectual growth. By the time his wife breastfeeds him till six months old, who knows if Xiaojiu’s intelligence might reach that of a six-year-old?
A six-year-old child can remember things...
