Zhang Yumei learned to burp her child with young mothers.
Zhang Yumei, a peasant woman from Yantai, Shandong province, lost her only son in a car accident seven years ago, leaving her devastated with the idea of “having more children”; for this reason she spared no effort to “throw away her Family‘s money” to seek children, scattering hundreds of thousands of dollars of savings, and finally she succeeded in giving birth to twins at the age of 58.
Zhang Yumei’s son died in a car accident in 2014, and she washed her face with tears every day, unwilling to communicate with others. To help her distract herself, her family asked her to go to a relative’s house to help take care of the children. Zhang Yumei had a feeling that there was a force to make her have another child, so the idea of “having another child” was born.
For the next seven years, Zhang Yumei set out on the road to find a child, traveling to hospitals in Yantai, Qingdao, Beijing, Nanjing, Jinan and other places, but was rejected countless times by doctors because she was too old. At first, her relatives, Parents and brother lent her money, but they all advised her to give up because of repeated failures. Some unscrupulous people even took advantage of her “eagerness to have a child” and cheated her out of her money.
Last year, Zhang Yumei finally succeeded in getting pregnant with twins. When the news spread, the question of whether the pregnancy was natural or IVF attracted media attention. Some people even thought she was irresponsible and selfish, and worried that she could not afford to buy milk powder, and if she did not have more income in the future, raising two children would be “even worse”. For these questions, Zhang Yumei silently bear.
What’s more, at the age of 58, her parents and in-laws are already in their eighties and nineties, and her husband has mobility problems due to injuries, making her the most “lonely” pregnant woman. Fortunately, the young pregnant woman in the same ward as Zhang Yumei lent a helping hand by asking her family to buy her meals and accompany her for checkups, so that Zhang Yumei could keep the baby in the hospital.
Today, Zhang Yumei’s child care is completely different from years ago, in addition to physical strength is not as strong as before, often back pain, child care knowledge has also lagged behind. However, she takes the initiative to learn from young people, including putting on diapers for her daughter and learning how to use an electric milking machine, etc. Despite the exhaustion of taking care of the twins, Zhang Yumei is extremely happy.
No matter how hard Life is, Zhang Yumei can’t help but smile when she sees her newborn babies.
Zhang Yumei, who gave birth to twins at the age of 58, is taking good care of her two little babies.
