After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?

Chapter 305: Able to Eat and Sleep Without Worries

Staying in the hospital is, after all, not as comfortable as being at home.

Once it was confirmed that Shen Qingqing and the two children were okay, Jiang Zhixun went home to get the car and pick them up for discharge.

Mothers cannot catch a draft, so he deliberately took a blanket and wrapped Shen Qingqing up tightly.

The weather hadn’t turned chilly this season yet.

Shen Qingqing complained, "Are you trying to roast me?"

She was "glared at" by the man.

Jiang Zhixun sternly said, "Don’t say that word, take it off once we’re in the car, it’ll be quick."

Shen Qingqing snorted, "Having kids changes everything, you even dare to glare at me now, who knows what you’ll do in a few years."

Jiang Zhixun’s face was awkward.

He had just been deliberately trying to scare her.

He meekly said, "I won’t dare anymore in the future."

Shen Qingqing ignored him and was about to walk off on her own.

Jiang Zhixun scooped her up sideways, "There are many people outside, can’t let you get bumped, it’s better if I carry you."

"You carry the babies."

"Let Dad and Mom carry them."

Other items had already been loaded into the car by Jiang Zhixun, so now everything was well-organized.

He took care of his own wife.

The two children were left for the grandparents to handle.

Father Jiang and Madam Jiang were delighted, each carrying one child, not bothering with Shen Qingqing and Jiang Zhixun’s "fussing."

"Let’s go home," Father Jiang said.

He walked ahead holding the babies.

Having had experience raising children when young, Father Jiang was very adept.

His posture for holding the babies was very standard, steady, and the little ones were sound asleep in his arms.

Madam Jiang, however, was still not at ease, frequently glancing over at her husband, afraid he’d do something wrong and hurt the babies.

As such, they truly didn’t have the mind to bother Shen Qingqing and Jiang Zhixun.

Father Jiang, Madam Jiang, and the kids sat in the back, while Shen Qingqing sat in the front passenger seat.

"Don’t open the windows, Qingqing and the children can’t catch a draft yet," Madam Jiang reminded again.

Shen Qingqing felt hot, constantly breaking into a sweat.

Madam Jiang said, "That’s because you just had children, your body’s weak."

Jiang Zhixun also thought that his wife was quite weak.

On the surface, she seemed in good shape, but inside was different from before having the children.

This time she really went through a lot.

"Take a good rest when we get home, keep up with nutrition too. I’ll go buy a few live chickens later, keep them in the yard, and make chicken soup for you every day."

Shen Qingqing teased, "Just don’t ruin the old man’s plants, or you’ll be in trouble."

Jiang Zhixun awkwardly cleared his throat.

"Keep them in a cage."

Shen Qingqing understood his sentiment.

"If I have chicken soup every day, I’ll get sick of it. No need to raise them in the yard, it’s a hassle! We can buy when we want to eat, and the doctor said to maintain a balanced diet. Eating other things can also nourish the body."

Jiang Zhixun nodded, "Then we’ll keep two; slaughter when you want to eat."

Shen Qingqing said, "You’re just wasting food."

Jiang Zhixun replied, "If you eat more, we won’t have to keep them alive for long."

Madam Jiang also said, "Let Zhixun go buy them, the babies can’t be left unattended. In the future, you’ll need to make special arrangements to grocery shop. It’s more convenient to keep a few at home."

With her mother-in-law’s words, Shen Qingqing didn’t say more.

She wiped her forehead and broke into another sweat.

Jiang Zhixun was very concerned about her, his desire to help her recuperate grew stronger.

"I’ll buy a few fish too, keep them in a basin."

Madam Jiang nodded, "Get a few pig trotters too."

Jiang Zhixun noted everything down one by one.

Shen Qingqing laughed with tears in her eyes, "Eating like this, I’ll gain dozens of pounds after a month of postpartum care."

Madam Jiang said, "Raising children isn’t easy. If you don’t eat well, it’ll harm your body, and that won’t do."

Shen Qingqing breastfeeds both children, so if she eats well, her milk supply can be ample.

Madam Jiang truly cared about her health and also had her grandson and granddaughter in mind.

"During postpartum, you need to eat well, rest well, don’t worry about gaining weight. After the postpartum period, you can slowly lose it. Once maternity leave is over, you’ll be even busier, and losing weight will be quicker."

Shen Qingqing nodded.

The body is her own, and after going through so much hardship, she also wanted to recuperate well.

Once her health recovered, she would have the energy to take care of the children.

And when she returned to work, she wouldn’t delay progress because of health issues.

From any perspective, eating well and resting well was her top priority.

Shen Qingqing turned back to look at the two little ones, sleeping soundly, she could even hear their breaths.

She smiled and said, "Being young is great, able to eat and sleep without worries."

Madam Jiang laughed, "You’re still young, no need to envy them."

"I’m already thirty."

Being in one’s twenties and turning thirty felt like a big difference, making Shen Qingqing suddenly feel old.

Madam Jiang gave her a playful look, "You’re just thirty, in the prime of your life. Life is so long, what’s the rush? I don’t even consider myself old."

"You’ve got a good mindset; I should learn from you."

"Mindset is the most important thing in life; worrying constantly only wears out your energy."

Shen Qingqing agreed with her.

Seeing her keep turning to look at the babies, Jiang Zhixun said, "You can slowly look at them once we’re home."

Shen Qingqing simply felt she couldn’t look enough.

Her own children had a very different meaning.

Before, she didn’t love or hate children, but when encountering ones particularly clean and cute, she’d want to pinch their little cheeks.

But with their own kids, whether cute or not, she loved them dearly.

The wonder of blood ties is truly magical.

Jiang Zhixun previously mentioned letting her and the children sleep in separate rooms once they got home.

Shen Qingqing reaffirmed, "No separating rooms with the kids."

Seeing how much she cared for the two little ones, Jiang Zhixun sighed, "You’ve barely known them, yet you’re disregarding your own health."

"Mind your own business."

Little children also need a sense of security; being beside their mother versus not being beside her makes a difference.

With so many people helping, Shen Qingqing didn’t need to undertake everything personally. She was willing to sacrifice a bit of sleep time.

Just being with the kids was worth it.

Madam Jiang didn’t expect her son to have such thoughts; while she was pleased he cared for his wife, she also pitied her grandchildren.

Just born, and their father was already planning to separate them.

She couldn’t help but mutter, "When you were a child, we tried to let you sleep alone in a room, and you cried with runny nose and tears, refusing to agree. But when it comes to Xiao Man and Xiao Xi, you’re so strict. They’re just little babies, yet you’re already trying to separate them."

Jiang Zhixun couldn’t remember events from when he was too young.

In his memory, he was sleeping alone in a room at a young age.

He looked awkwardly at his wife, "Don’t listen to mom’s nonsense, why would I cry? I was more than happy to have my own room."

Shen Qingqing couldn’t help but laugh, "You’re just stubborn."

Jiang Zhixun said with righteousness, "Xiao Man cries every day too, it’s not a big deal."

"Then why are you so anxious?"

Jiang Zhixun: "..."

Talking about his embarrassing moments in front of his wife made him anxious, of course.

The hospital wasn’t far from home, and after a short conversation, they arrived at the doorstep.
