1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 349 Nannies and Postpartum Caregivers
Beichizi Street, Lu Family.

Aunt Zhou and Qin Ma, Gu Bohuai's housekeeper, were talking quietly.

Is the child awake?

"No, I'm sleeping soundly."

"It's already half an hour later than usual, should we wake you up and feed you once?"

"It's okay, let them wake up soon. They'll probably be up soon. They were up a little late last night, so it's normal for them to be a little late today."

Gu Qingye went back to work as soon as his holiday ended. He was busier than before because of the many things that were going on at the team. Lu Zhiyu had long since gone into seclusion, and Lin Nanxing also had to go to work. Gu Bohuai simply sent his personal caregiver over.

Qin Ma was a bit older than Zhou Saozi, but she never tried to take the lead. She did more and said less, and the two of them worked together very harmoniously.

Qin's mother peeked at the twins sleeping soundly and sighed softly, "I never thought taking care of children could be so easy."

Aunt Zhou laughed and said, "Who says it isn't true? Just the fact that we don't have to wash diapers saves us so much trouble!"

The twins have been using diapers since they were born. We have dozens of boxes piled up at home, and yesterday a new batch was sent from the port city.

At first, Qin Ma didn't know what it was, but she was amazed when she saw Zhou Sao change it.

She still believes that diapers are more breathable, but she has to admit that they are so convenient. You just use one and throw it away. It feels like you're using money, not diapers.

However, the leader's family is not short of money. I heard that Comrade Gu's maternal family are wealthy American businessmen. The baby products they send over are enough to open a store. They can afford to use twenty diapers a day.

"I reckon Youyou will wake up soon. I'll go steam the buns," said Sister Zhou.

"Okay, you go ahead, I'll watch over things here." Qin's mother moved a stool and stood guard by the crib.

When the person came in, Zhui Feng looked up and then quietly lay back down.

Qin's mother loves Zhuifeng so much, especially when the children are crying. Zhuifeng is just as effective as two children; as soon as its fluffy tail reaches out, both children immediately stop crying.

"Zhuifeng, there's some bone broth simmering in the kitchen. Would you like to go and have some?"

Zhuifeng remained motionless; it wouldn't leave its post until the child woke up.

Qin's mother had already experienced its sense of responsibility firsthand, and seeing this, she gently patted its head: "Does Zhuifeng want to wait for its younger siblings to get up? Don't worry, they'll be there soon."

Zhui Feng wasn't in a hurry at all. Little Grey had just brought him a piece of meat for a treat, so it was fine to have breakfast a little later.

Its ears perked up, listening to the twins' movements, while its mind began to plan its work for the day.

8:00-8:30, supervise the nanny's breastfeeding time.

8:30-9:30, playtime.

9:30-11:30, bedtime.

……

At this moment, two sentences of baby talk interrupted its thoughts.

“Ah…Eh…Oh oh oh…” This is my older sister.

“Hmm… (fading)… (quiet)…” This is the younger brother.

Zhui Feng could tell the difference just by listening. Although the twins were less than a month old, it was already clear that they had different personalities.

The older sister laughs heartily and cries loudly, while the younger brother usually only whimpers faintly. He doesn't fuss when he's hungry or wet, and he's as calm as a newborn.

Soon the twins were fully awake. Zhui Feng got up quickly, went to the kitchen to call Aunt Zhou over, and said it was time to change their diapers and feed them.

If we don't hurry, my older sister will definitely cry, and her loud voice will disturb my sleep, thought the nanny, Zhui Feng.

Our second nanny, Comrade Little Grey, didn't go to join the fun with the child; instead, she was standing by Lu Youyou's bedside, manually fanning her.

Despite being called a nanny, Little Grey has a pointed mouth and claws, making it unsuitable for caring for infants. In addition, its overdeveloped hearing system makes it dizzy when the baby cries, so it avoids the nursery.

A nanny won't do, but a postpartum nanny is a professional.

Little Grey took care of Big Beautiful Eagle during her postpartum period; it knew everything about prenatal and postpartum care.

Moreover, it accompanied Lu Youyou to every prenatal checkup. Although it didn't go into the examination room, it listened attentively to the lessons outside the window, learning how to care for pregnant women and how to care for postpartum women...

For example, you shouldn't face a fan when it's hot; natural wind is best. What if there's no wind outside? Manually setting a natural wind is still wind. Little Grey says that its two-meter-long wings aren't for nothing.

Lu Youyou was still asleep when Little Grey stood on the crossbar at the foot of the bed, flapping its wings back and forth.

When I get tired of standing, I lie down on the bedside table. The posture isn't very elegant, but it doesn't stop it from clapping its hands. There's also a breeze when it claps its hands, so I have to make sure that Mom doesn't wake up from the heat.

Little Grey stared intently at Deer Youyou, sometimes noticing her complexion wasn't rosy enough, sometimes noticing her jawline was more defined, and sometimes wondering if her hair's shine was a bit duller than before...

Oh, Mom has suffered so much, otherwise why would she be so sleepy?
If Lu Youyou knew what her eldest son was thinking, she would probably blush.

To be honest, the day she gave birth was indeed tough, but afterwards she had no worries and recovered quite well. Apart from not being able to go out and play, her life was almost like a vacation.

Some mothers are reluctant to let their children out of their sight, but Lu Youyou is not like that at all; she is not naturally a conflicted person.

With so many family members helping her take care of the child, and each one of them being extremely responsible, there's really nothing to worry about.

Another dreamless night passed. Lu Youyou was still half asleep when she felt a gentle breeze. With her eyes closed, she reached out and a large, fluffy ball landed firmly in her arms.

"Sweetie, are you tired?"

Even with her eyes closed, Lu Youyou could find her son's head perfectly and give him a big kiss.

Feeling the fluffy ball shaking its head, she smiled and hugged Little Grey tightly: "So good!"

Little Grey was so happy that its eyes narrowed into slits. It knew that its mother still loved it the most. Didn't it see that the title of "little darling" still belonged to it?
As for the twins calling each other "Da Bao" and "Er Bao," Little Grey thinks it doesn't matter. Neither is as affectionate as "Little Baby."

Lu Youyou took another half hour of nap, and when she opened her eyes again it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

"Youyou're awake. There are red bean buns in the kitchen, and I've also made some bone broth. Would you like me to make you a bowl of pork wontons?"

"Okay, thank you, Aunt Zhou. I'll go check on the child."

Aunt Zhou smiled and said, "It's just right that the children are awake now. They were fed once at 7:30. Now is the perfect time for you to go and feed them again."

Lu Youyou moved to the east wing, which had been specially prepared as a nursery. Although the twins were still at the age where they could only lie in bed and entertain themselves, all the furniture had been fitted with corner protectors and the floor was covered with carpet.

Zhuifeng had already heard the commotion and came out wagging its tail to greet them. Qin Ma was playing with the child with a rattle drum. Lu Youyou heard Da Bao's giggles before she even entered the door.

Lu Youyou was wearing a lemon-yellow pajamas. Children love bright colors, and even if they can't see clearly yet, their heads will unconsciously turn to follow them.
