The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 709 Lin Ya's Temperament

The door opened, and there was Tang Ying holding a wrinkled little baby.

The baby had fair skin, closed its eyes, and was crying loudly.

Tang Ying quickly placed him in the swaddle blanket she had prepared beforehand, wrapping him up as she said, "Mr. Liang, Sister Yang Mei, congratulations, it's a boy."

As she spoke, she wrapped the child up and handed him to Liang Yuan.

Looking at the little life, who was crying loudly, Liang Yuan felt somewhat at a loss.

Is this really my child?

I'm a dad now?

For a moment, he was unsure what to do. He simply reached out and carefully took the child, a smile unconsciously appearing on his face.

The child reached out his hand, still crying desperately.

Tang Ying smiled and said, "Mr. Liang, after the baby is born, it's best to let the mother start breastfeeding first; that's the best time."

Liang Yuan quickly and humbly asked, "Then what should I do?"

"You don't need to do anything, just leave it to Sister Yangmei."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan quickly picked up the child and brought him to Yang Mei's side.

Yang Mei was completely exhausted at this moment, covered in sweat. Not only was her hair wet and stuck to her smooth forehead, but her clothes were also soaked.

She looked weakly at the child in Liang Yuan's arms, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her face: "Let me see Dudu."

Liang Yuan quickly squatted down and carefully placed the child next to her.

Yangmei turned her head to look at this vibrant little life.

Seemingly sensing the familiar scent of the mother's womb, the child immediately stopped crying and began to babble softly.

Yang Mei's face was full of loving smiles, like that of a new mother.

She looked at Liang Yuan and said, "Just like you."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Your skin is like yours, very fair."

Yang Mei smiled broadly and said, "Your features are like yours, you're handsome."

Looking at the mother and son, Liang Yuan felt deeply moved.

He lowered his head and kissed Yang Mei on the forehead, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Sister Mei."

Yang Mei shook her head and said affectionately, "I am very happy and it is not hard at all. With you and the children, I feel that my life is complete."

Those who witnessed this scene outside all wore smiles of maternal affection.

At this moment, Tang Ying reminded him, "Mr. Liang, remember to let the baby breastfeed the mother. We'll head out now. Please call us anytime if you need anything."

She then left the room with several other nurses who had delivered the babies.

For a moment, only Liang Yuan, Yang Mei, and their child remained in the room.

Liang Yuan asked, "Why have they all left? How are we supposed to start breastfeeding now?"

Yang Mei chuckled and said, "Okay, I can do it myself. Tang Ying already told me."

She turned slightly to the side, opening her clothes at the chest to reveal her ample figure.

As if born knowing how to nurse, the baby Liang Hong leaned over and began to suckle with loud smacking sounds.

For some reason, Liang Yuan felt a surge of emotion upon seeing this scene.

This is his child, his woman.

From now on, he will need to protect not only his loved ones, but also his children.

Liang Yuan silently vowed in his heart that no one could destroy his family!
Even ancient superhumans won't do it!

Yangmei was very tired. She fell asleep halfway through breastfeeding.

Liang Yuan gently carried the child back after she had finished eating and helped her put on her coat.

The mother and son fell asleep on the warm bed.

Liang Yuan quietly left the room.

Outside the house, a large group of people were still gathered in the living room.

Upon seeing Liang Yuan emerge, everyone stood up and surrounded him.

Song Wen was the first to rush over and hurriedly asked, "How is Sister Mei? How is the baby?"

"They're all asleep."

Liang Yuan smiled, then looked at Tang Ying, Yang Shenmin, and the others, and said thank you, "Dr. Yang, Tang Ying, thank you."

"Hey, don't be so formal," Yang Shenmin said with a smile.

Tang Ying then said at the opportune moment, "Mr. Liang, childbirth is like a journey through the gates of hell for a woman, especially after the great flood. Many modern technologies have been lost, and our conditions for cesarean sections are not yet perfect."

"Many medical devices were unavailable, and there weren't enough doctors. In short, it was no easy feat for Sister Yangmei to give birth smoothly."

Liang Yuan nodded quickly and said, "That's why I should thank you even more."

Tang Ying laughed and said, "That's not what I meant. I meant that she still has to go through postpartum confinement. If she doesn't take good care of herself during postpartum confinement, she might develop health problems."

"I'll tell you what you need to pay attention to in a bit."

Liang Yuan nodded repeatedly. He really didn't know anything about this and definitely needed to learn.

At this moment, Lin Ya walked over and said, "Can I listen to this? I can cook, maybe I can help."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan was overjoyed and quickly said, "It's so great that you can help, Miss Lin Ya."

Tang Ying glanced at Lin Ya, knowing that she had been taking care of Yang Mei all along, and immediately nodded, saying, "Don't start taking supplements right away during postpartum confinement; you should eliminate toxins first and then supplement them."

"Eating too much nourishing food at the beginning can easily lead to problems such as breast engorgement."

"I'll talk to you about the specifics in a bit later."

Lin Ya nodded quickly: "Okay, okay."

At this moment, Aunt Li asked with a smile, "Liang Yuan, congratulations to you and Yang Mei for giving birth to a boy."

"It's good to have a boy. In this world, it's better to have a boy."

"The girl suffers."

The older generation still holds patriarchal views.

Especially in a post-apocalyptic environment, men are naturally more powerful than women, so having a son is indeed easier to raise and more likely to be successful than having a daughter.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Aunt Li, even if it's not a boy, I'm still happy. My children, whether boys or girls, will live a good life."

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

Aunt Li laughed and said, "It's my fault for being clumsy with words. As an old Party member, I shouldn't have said such things."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "From now on, let the child recognize you as his grandmother, and you can teach the child how to be a good person."

Aunt Li beamed with joy, repeatedly praising him. Everyone came forward to congratulate Liang Yuan, who thanked them all with a broad smile.

"Everyone, I'll treat you all to a meal when the baby turns 100 days old."

After some polite exchanges, Liang Yuan saw everyone off.

The rest are all family members.

Oh, Lin Ya has lived here for so long, she's practically family now.

Yang Mei even suggested to Liang Yuan last time that Lin Ya stay at home temporarily to save the trouble of traveling back and forth.

The last time, it was because Lin Ya went home that she was targeted by Leng Yuehua's people.

Liang Yuan had considered it, but he had promised Yang Mei and the others that he would not bring any more people home.

However, if Lin Ya has to take care of the child and Yang Mei now, she is essentially a live-in nanny.

A live-in nanny is a nanny who doesn't live in the house.
Especially as Tang Ying just mentioned, pregnant women during their postpartum period cannot even touch cold water.

This definitely requires someone to take care of the bayberries.

Song Wen, Dong Yan, and Ding Yan all have their own things to do and definitely can't get away.

It's impossible for anyone else to stay home and take care of Yangmei 24/7.

So after looking at it all, Lin Ya is still the most suitable.

"It seems we really have to let Lin Ya live at home; we'll need to partition off another room in this house."

Liang Yuan thought to himself.

"Brother Liang, have you decided on a name for the child?"

Song Wen couldn't help but ask, and Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, I discussed it with Sister Mei before. The child's formal name will be Liang Hong, and his nickname will be Dudu."

"Dudu?" Song Wen's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed happily, "This nickname is so cute!"

Ding Yan, standing to the side, seemed quite taken with the name Liang Hong, and asked, "Is it the 'Hong' in 'flood'?"

Liang Yuan nodded: "Yes, he was born in a flood world, so we named him Hong, hoping that he can adapt to this era."

Ding Yan said, "Of course he can. He has a good father and a good mother."

Liang Yuan glanced at her, but smiled and said, "He's not a good mother, but he still has three good mothers like you."

The three women were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Dong Yan exclaimed dramatically, "Wow, am I going to be a stepmother at 20? Hahaha, this feeling is really strange."

Song Wen laughed and said, "What's wrong with being 20? In ancient times, you would have been considered an old maid at 20."

Dong Yan rolled her eyes: "Okay, at my age, I'm just a freshman in college, you know."

Ding Yan smiled enigmatically and asked, "Are you sure there are only three?"

Liang Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he touched his nose.

Ding Yan must know that she has Zhuang Shuyuan as her lover outside.

Liang Yuan chuckled and said, "Don't just envy Yang Mei, I'll make sure you each have a baby."

The women burst into laughter.

For a moment, the room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Lin Ya, standing to the side, couldn't help but feel a little envious seeing the family enjoying themselves so happily.

Every night, after returning home from Liang Yuan's place, she would feel a sense of loneliness.

Although Shen Yunxi was in her room, Shen Yunxi was always busy with research and development, and it was difficult to see her for a long time.

In this flood-filled world without the internet and books, there are too few ways to alleviate loneliness and too few ways to entertain oneself.

Deep down, she longed for someone to talk to, for someone to understand her heart.

So at Liangyuan's place, she could feel their harmonious atmosphere and she loved it so much that sometimes she didn't even want to go home and just wanted to stay there.

Liang Yuan chatted and laughed with the women for a while, then Lin Ya checked the time and quietly went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Before Tang Ying left, she told her some precautions for postpartum care and dietary considerations.

Ding Yan, Dong Yan, and Song Wen all took the day off today. None of them went to work; they all stayed home, enjoying this rare time together.

In the afternoon, when Yangmei woke up from her nap, she could still hear laughter and cheerful voices outside.

At this moment, the child started crying loudly again, which immediately attracted the attention of Liang Yuan and others outside.

He and the women immediately rushed in to check the situation.

"Why are you crying?" Liang Yuan asked quickly.

Yang Mei shook her head, somewhat flustered: "I don't know either."

She was also a new mother and had no experience in raising children.

Ding Yan quickly asked, "Are you hungry?"

"Huh? I just fed her before I fell asleep," Yang Mei said.

Song Wen quickly said, "I heard some babies have big appetites, does that mean you need to breastfeed again?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mei immediately began to unbutton her clothes to breastfeed.

Dong Yan glanced enviously at Yang Mei's ample bust, secretly wondering if she would be able to increase her cup size after having a baby.

I've heard that you usually go up a bra size after you get pregnant.

This strange thought flashed through her mind. At that moment, Yang Mei had already unbuttoned her clothes, held the child in her arms, and was preparing to breastfeed.

But the child was still struggling and refused to drink the milk.

"Sweetie, what do you want? Are you hungry?" Yang Mei shook the child hurriedly, feeling a little helpless.

Hearing the commotion, Lin Ya came in and, seeing the situation, said, "Let me take a look."

Everyone immediately looked at Lin Ya, only to see her reach out to hug the baby and say, "Before Dr. Tang Ying left, she told me that newborn babies cry for only a few reasons."

"Either they're hungry, or they need to poop."

As she spoke, she opened the small bag and saw that, sure enough, the child had pooped.

Everyone was immediately left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Liang Yuan remarked with a sigh, "Taking care of children is a skill in itself."

Lin Ya laughed and said, "Actually, it's because we lack experience. Experienced people can tell at a glance."

Everyone watched her as she cleaned the child's bottom; the maternal glow emanating from her was no less than that from Yang Mei.

Lin Ya seems to possess this maternal quality innately.
