1178 Getting Another Nanny
“Xia Wen, you deserve a thousand cuts! I want to kill you!” Xia He ran towards Xia Wen noisily. The two of them played like kids, making everyone laugh loudly.
Qiao Mei, in particular, laughed the happiest. She was not laughing at Xia Wen and Xia He, but at Xia Zhe who was behind them. He was still standing at the door expectantly, waiting for the two children to arrive!
However, Xia Zhe was not looking forward to being the first person the children would see. Instead, he was looking forward to knowing what the two babies looked like. He had not met them yet!
Xia Zhe also did not know how to carry a baby or if there was a need for a special posture for it. He stood there and tried to mimic different positions of carrying a baby, worried that if he did not carry the children properly, they would be affected adversely in some way.
Xia Zhe rubbed his hands one moment and paced back and forth the next. He was so nervous that he even did high knees on the spot. It had been a long time since he was so nervous. In his younger days, whenever he was nervous, he would do high knees to relax. He did not expect that there were still situations that would make him nervous.
“Xiao Zhe, stop loitering at the door. The children will only be sent over later! Come in and take a seat!” Xu Lan said.
Xia Zhe turned a deaf ear to everything, as if he was immersed in his own world. He ignored everyone who called out to him.
“Mother, just let him be. He’s very excited now! He probably can’t even hear what I say,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.
“Let’s not care about him. Let’s talk about you. How do you feel? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? If the wound itches, don’t scratch it! If the skin breaks, it will leave a scar and become something more serious. It’ll be bad if the wound gets infected,” Xu Lan instructed.
Back when she gave birth to Xia Zhe, she also had to undergo a C-section. Both Xia Wen and Xia He did not give her as hard a time. Perhaps it was because the Xia family was already doing very well when she was pregnant with Xia Zhe, so she ate and drank whatever she wanted every day, causing Xia Zhe to weigh more than the other two children. She was unable to give birth naturally, so she had to undergo a C-section.
It was also after that time that Xu Lan decided never to give birth again. She really could not forget the pain she felt at that time.
“Sister Feng watches me all the time! She won’t let me do anything and will carefully screen everything I eat, worried that there will be any issues. She’s much more meticulous than me! With her around, you can rest assured,” Qiao Mei said.
“That’s true. I’m not worried about you with Feng Hua handling everything. With her around, you’ll recover faster. However, is one nanny enough? Do you want me to find another nanny to do the cooking?” Xu Lan asked.
The Xia family was very upset about what happened to Wei Hao. They had already compensated Wei Hao’s family for their loss, but the gesture could not bring back the dead. The pain caused to Wei Hao’s family was indelible. Fortunately, Wei Hao’s family was very understanding and knew that the real culprit was not the Xia family. It was Cheng Gu who killed Wei Hao. One must put the saddle on the right horse and they did not resent the Xia family.
The Xia family decided to bear all the education expenses for Wei Hao’s children until they were able to find their own jobs.
“That’s good too. Sister Feng is so busy on her own. When we get home, there are still more children to take care of!” Qiao Mei said.
“Don’t worry about Xiao Wei and the rest. Those naughty monkeys are fine. Xiao Qin even learned how to cook! It’s just that after drinking the porridge she made, the other children all vomited it out,” Li Gui said.
“It’s fine. That’s quite common in the beginning. She just needs to take her time. As time passes, she’ll get better at it,” Qiao Mei said.
There was no hurry to find another nanny. She would think about it at length and it would not be too late to look for one only after she reached home.
Finally, the nurse brought the two children to Qiao Mei’s ward. The nurse did not allow Xia Zhe to carry them immediately. Xia Fang first gave Xia Zhe a briefing on the correct way to carry babies. She only allowed him to do it after confirming that he did not make any mistakes.
As the tiny child lay in Xia Zhe’s arms, his heart turned to mush at the moment. This was the first time he had looked so closely at a little baby. Babies were much more fragile than he had imagined, as if they would shatter if he exerted too much strength. This made Xia Zhe cherish these two children even more.
