The pork butcher is smoother than a pig butcher!

Chapter 126 Scholar Zuo: With a daughter, all is well!

The arrival of a new life could not diminish the sorrow of everyone after dawn.

The postmaster who had been so hospitable to them was dead.

Of the vast post station, only two stable boys survived.

Of the escorting officers who accompanied everyone from Daming Prefecture to where they are today, twenty-seven remain.

The leader surnamed Mao was killed in action.

The leader surnamed Huang was seriously injured.

Sixteen other officers suffered knife wounds of varying degrees.

Two-thirds of the men of the Zuo clan were injured.

Those over forty years old basically didn't make it back.

Of the more than 6,000 defenders at Jinzhou Pass, 4,000 perished in the battle.

If it weren't for the military families and civilians of the entire city joining the battle later, the outcome would probably have been the same as that of the defenders of Heping Pass.

The people truly experienced what it means for their homes to be destroyed and their lives to be taken!

The house was burned down.

Children and grandchildren died in battle!
at the same time.

The atmosphere was also very heavy inside the Kashgar Khanate cavalry's headquarters.

The situation last night started off quite well for their side.

In particular, Yaqub Beg's fire set the entire Jinzhou Pass ablaze.

Never imagined.

The vanguard had barely reached the city gate tower when their main camp suffered a devastating blow as their warhorses went berserk and fled.

And then.

After the vanguard entered the pass, they were never able to return.

In addition, there were the horse archers who died under artillery fire while building that wall.

Fifteen thousand people were killed!

The initial force of 80,000 men in the Holy War.

just now.

All the horses have run away.

There are fewer than 35,000 cavalrymen left!
and.

The entire city is now mobilized for war.

That's tens of thousands of people!

Even after burning down all the houses at Jinzhou Pass, they could still go through the main gate to Jinzhou City across the street to resupply.

If they can't even hold onto one goal, how are they supposed to fight the next battle?
Just when the leaders, both big and small, were at a loss, Yaqub Beg arrived to report.
A northwest wind blew through the night.

The temperature dropped by about ten degrees.

Gan Minglan finally woke up around noon.

Although her wood-based healing abilities are very strong, she still used a lot of effort to kill the enemy and win last night.

She slept for about five hours, but was woken up by a slight throbbing pain in her chest.

I've experienced this physiological phenomenon before; it hurts a lot when you rub it.

It would be even worse if it wasn't kneaded.

Recalling her past experiences, Gan Minglan immediately used her special abilities on her breasts.

Before long, the mammary glands were completely cleared.

There was a faint oozing of milk.

She picked up the half-asleep little one lying beside her and stuffed food into her mouth.

The little guy really won at the starting line.

With her mother's amazing skills.

Drinking colostrum is very easy.

The little guy is now a pink monkey all over.

Her father weighed her using a wooden scale from the post station.

Just five pounds.

This weight is about the same as that of a full-term baby.

It's still too early to tell whether his facial features resemble his father's or mother's.

The most striking feature of her entire body was her jet-black, two- or three-inch-long, urchin-shaped afro.

The amount of hair he has can only be described as astonishing.

Gan Minglan was extremely envious.

Her daughter's hair volume is really good even after she turns thirty!
Gan Minglan, who had little hair and was prone to falling out in her previous life, envied him.

The little guy clenched his two pink fists tightly, and sucked on them with great gusto.

The amount of colostrum is small, and it's gone in just a few mouthfuls.

The baby isn't full yet!
How come it's gone?

Seeing her little face with her eyes closed and her brows furrowed, Gan Minglan quickly picked her up and gently patted her. She had regained the original owner's memories.

Baby soothing skills included!
Hearing the commotion from the mother and daughter, Zuo Wenkang pushed open the door and came in.

He was holding a bowl of red date and millet porridge with two eggs poached in it.

He looked at his wife apologetically and said:

"Madam, please make do with this. All the shops in the city have been burned down, and this is all the food the post station can make."

I heard that Guan Jun plans to send someone to Jinzhou, the prefectural city across the Zhuo River, to make purchases tomorrow. I'll ask someone to buy two chickens for me then.

"Thank you for your hard work! Millet porridge and eggs are already excellent food, and it must have taken you a lot of effort to find them. I thank you on behalf of my daughter!"

"This is my own daughter, how can I possibly thank you enough? You're the one who's worked the hardest!"

In the matriarchal Phoenix Dynasty, no woman personally breastfed her child.

It is said that breast milk affects their ability to walk and do things outside.

Therefore, the children of the Phoenix Dynasty were raised on cow's milk, goat's milk, mare's milk, and the like.

He was extremely grateful to his wife who was willing to breastfeed their daughter herself.

Let alone just asking someone to buy two chickens.

He would gladly jump into the turbid river right now to catch fish for his wife.

Red date and millet porridge is really too much of a sacrifice for the mother and daughter.

Gan Minglan thought that drinking millet porridge was quite good.

You should eat light meals for the first few days after giving birth.

It's best to avoid eating meat and drinking soup until the lochia has completely stopped.

In her past life, she had a client who owned a postpartum care center, and she often went there to freeload meals.

I've heard it so many times.

They can also give a detailed explanation of postpartum meal combinations.

I'm not worried about not having enough breast milk.

Newborn babies have a very small appetite and can't drink much at a time.

Zuo Wenkang was content with having a daughter.

Holding his soft, squishy daughter in his arms, his eyes were full of love.

If we absolutely have to trace it back to its source...

It may be due to the obsession men in matriarchal societies have with having daughters.

Gan Minglan: Very good, very good! Keep it up!

Don't tell me yet.

They were just starting to hold the baby, so they were a bit clumsy and overly nervous.

Less than a day.

Aside from breastfeeding, Gan Minglan had almost nothing to worry about.

I don't want to let go when I'm holding the baby; I don't feel tired at all.

He could not even smell the blackish-green meconium that the little guy produced.

Every time his daughter poops, he washes her bottom with warm water.

His mother didn't need to help him wash his soiled diapers.

A grown man washes diapers cleaner than his mother, a professional laundry worker.

Mrs. Luo watched her son bustling about.

I kept rubbing my eyes!

Is this still the same son she gave birth to, the one who would avoid her grandson's diapers drying in the sun a few years ago?
Zuo Wenkang, facing his mother's doubts, retorted confidently, "How can that brat Fatty compare to our Yuanyuan?"

Fatty's shocked face:
"Daddy, is your nose broken? Your round poop smells even worse than mine!"

His father, without batting an eye, exclaimed, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Yuanyuan will always smell like milk!"

Gan Minglan hugged her son, whose eyes were wide open in surprise, and comforted him while suppressing a laugh:

"Your dad's obsessed with your little sister right now. He'll know how good our little one is after he's been washing diapers for half a month!"

Fatty said with a wronged expression, "I don't wet the bed anymore, but Yuanyuan poops so many times a day!"

Anyway, I'm very dissatisfied with his father's blatant lies.

Fortunately, his grandmother and mother still doted on him as much as before.

His mother had just secretly slipped him another piece of dried meat.

Delicious dried horse meat.

He never gets tired of eating.

Unfortunately, Yuanyuan hasn't grown any teeth yet.

I'll tempt her properly once she grows teeth.

Oh, I'm so worried.

Before I was born, I was worried about why my little sister hadn't come out yet.

After she was born, I worried about how long it would take her to grow up.
