Chapter 440 Scientific Feeding
“He’s my younger brother. I’m sorry! He’s not used to being touched by strangers.” Xu Yi bent down and picked Wu Yuan up from Si Hai’s arms.
The child wrinkled his nose, clearly unhappy with Fu Wanying's behavior.
"It's nothing, it's just that it was too sudden for me."
Fu Wanying stared intently at Wu Yuan.
His eyes were full of envy.
Suddenly, his gaze shifted to Sihai, who was standing to the side.
She was just tall enough to reach the edge of the table, and her head was tied with two small pigtails with a red string.
Her indigo clothes had faded from washing, and the cuffs were carefully rolled up, revealing her fair and delicate arms.
He was the one who introduced the dishes and took their orders when they came in to eat. His voice was still sweet and childlike, but his pronunciation was surprisingly clear. He spoke fluently and rapidly.
Fu Wanying's hands were itching to try it.
How many children do you have?
Fu Wanying asked curiously.
Xu Yiyi held Wu Yuan slowly, saying, "Five."
As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Wanying revealed a somewhat exaggerated expression.
Then Wen Shichen immediately reminded him.
Can I hug your little brother?
Looking at Wu Yuan's crystal-clear eyes, Fu Wanying asked again, unwilling to give up.
Xu Yiyi shook her head, "He doesn't like being held by strangers, and Wu Yuan is very heavy, you might not be able to carry him."
She glanced at Fu Wanying, her gaze sliding from her delicate wrists to her still-slender waist, and finally back to the other's exquisitely made-up face, clearly that of a person of noble birth.
Furthermore, now that she has twins, she might not be able to carry Wuyuan.
"Is it really that exaggerated?" Fu Wanying's tone was a little downcast, and she touched Sihai's chubby little hand when he wasn't paying attention.
Wu Yuan looked sturdy, but she was still an adult.
It's not like I can't lift a child.
And didn't Sihai just hug him?
"He's gained twenty pounds."
After saying this, Sihai carried the teapot filled with tea to the guest's table.
"My God, what did you feed him?" Fu Wanying's voice was full of shock.
You should know that her older sister's son was only 12 pounds at seven months old, looking thin and small, and not nearly as clever as Wu Yuan.
"Thick rice porridge, vegetable noodles, fish puree, tofu puree... and we'll also give them some fruit."
I give him some fruit when he wakes up from his afternoon nap.
They eat five or six meals a day.
Fu Wanying was greatly shocked, "Is he over one year old?"
"Eight months."
As Xu Yiyi spoke, she pulled Wu Yuan's little hand out of his mouth.
"So young and already not drinking milk?"
"I drink it too, but it's goat milk, I drink it in the morning and at night."
Seeing that she was genuinely curious, Xu Yi explained it to her carefully.
"He's already eight months old, and drinking milk alone isn't enough to satisfy his hunger."
Furthermore, babies around seven or eight months old are already recognizing people, learning to sit, and crawling, which consumes a great deal of mental and physical energy. If you only give them milk, they are prone to becoming weak and listless, or they may become chubby and flabby, leading to insufficient vitality.
Listening to Xu Yiyi's words, Fu Wanying was still in a daze when she walked out the door and got into the sedan chair.
"Wuyuan is so young and he's already eating other foods, how pitiful!"
After hearing so much, Fu Wanying finally felt that Wu Yuan was really too pitiful.
"You know, Mr. Xu makes a lot of money, why doesn't he hire a wet nurse for Wu Yuan?"
Wen Shichen hesitated, as his little nephew had been breastfed until he was a year and a half old before being weaned, which was considered early.
However, he is not as tall as Wu Yuan.
If Xu Yiyi hadn't said that Wu Yuan was only eight months old, he would have thought the child was already a year old.
Just now, when Xu Yiyi wasn't paying attention, he gently pinched Wu Yuan's calf.
That's incredibly sturdy.
Putting everything else aside, just looking at Wu Yuan's condition already shows a significant difference.
Full of energy and with a rosy complexion.
“In my opinion, it’s not that Boss Xu can’t afford a wet nurse.” Wen Shichen lowered his voice, “I heard she has a very good relationship with Doctor Wu, so maybe she’s feeding the child according to Doctor Wu’s instructions. You saw that Wu Yuan is being raised very well, otherwise…”
As Wen Shichen spoke, he placed his hand on Fu Wanying's stomach.
"Let's wait and see! There are still a few months until our baby is born."
The young couple whispered to each other as the sedan chair swayed back home.
……
"Big sister, how much money should we give An Shu and the others?"
Sihai was standing on a small stool, fiddling with an abacus.
Today, including Xu Pinghai, a total of seven people came to help. We can't let them work for nothing.
"The porters at the dock only earn ninety coins a day. If you round it up to a lucky number, sixty-six coins a person will be about right."
After all, business wasn't as busy tonight because of the rain.
They also provided two more meals.
Si Hai looked at Xu Yiyi after hearing what Lao Lu was saying.
Only after she nodded did he begin counting the money.
"Third Brother, what are you looking at? Come and count the money with me!" Sihai shouted, only to find Sanchuan standing at the door, looking up at the sky.
I'm not afraid of getting my neck tired.
"It's raining, there's no moon or stars."
Xu Yiyi suddenly spoke up, "The child is just curious."
Sanchuan snorted softly, then happily went back to the counter to count money with Sihai.
“This is from Brother Anshu.”
……
"This belongs to Brother Anyuan."
……
“Uncle Pinghai.”
The child smacked his lips and drew out seven piles of copper coins.
Finally, Sanchuan thoughtfully put the money in a money bag, and each of them took half before running back to the backyard.
"Brother Anshu, come quick, I'm paying your wages."
The child let out a loud cry. Xu Anshu was eating with his chopsticks when he heard this and was a little confused.
"What kind of wages?"
Xu Anshu put down his chopsticks and walked out. Sihai's two little tufts on his head bounced along with him as he stuffed his first paycheck into Xu Anshu's hand.
Xu Anshu froze, his hand hovering in mid-air, unsure whether to catch it or not. He looked at A-Tuan: "This... Sihai, what are you doing?"
"Pay your wages!"
Sanchuan eagerly answered, his eyes sparkling, "Since you've come to work, you definitely need to be paid."
Si Hai nodded in agreement with a serious expression.
The boys looked at each other in bewilderment.
Xu Anshu cleared his throat and said, "We're here to help. We're all family, there's no reason for us to accept money."
"We'll take it!"
Sihai stamped his foot in frustration, raising his little hand even higher, "Big sister said that even close brothers should keep clear accounts; only with clear accounts can they get along well!"
Xu Anyuan squatted down and looked Sihai straight in the eye: "Sihai, your brothers don't want money. It's only right that we help your family."
"Besides, we've already had two free meals while working here, so it wouldn't be right to charge them more."
Xu Anshu waved his hands repeatedly, refusing to accept the money.
"How can that be the same? Providing two meals is only right, and you've worked hard too."
Sanchuan didn't care and, following his elder sister's instructions, insisted on stuffing the money pouches into each of their hands.
