The pork butcher is smoother than a pig butcher!

Chapter 136 The Art of Praising People

Gan Minglan didn't know how to resolve this awkward situation.

Fortunately, the child saved her.

The little girl, Yuanyuan, who was placed to sleep next to her, started to cry and fuss.

The familiar feeling is back.

Baby's hungry!
Baby wants to eat!

Enjoy your delicious meal!
The little one has been starving these past few days.

After being sent to the prefectural city that day.

Zuo Wenkang used his connections with the garrison commander's personal guards to find a suitable wet nurse for his daughter, who was only a dozen days old.

Don't know what's going on.

This tiny baby has suddenly become a picky eater.

It should be time for her to nurse, and her stomach should be empty by now.

But she didn't find her wet nurse's milk delicious at all.

Not only does it have a poor appetite, but it's also extremely noisy and prone to crying.

Several times, her little voice became hoarse from crying, and no one could soothe her.

The amount of rice consumed at each meal has been declining sharply.

In an effort to maintain his daughter's previous good appetite, Zuo Wenkang changed her wet nurses three times within seven days, but none of them could make her like dry food.

The old father was so worried that he almost lost his mind.

If he doesn't come back to ask his daughter's mother for milk, he's afraid his own daughter won't be able to survive.

When I got back...

He was almost scared out of his wits.

How can a daughter's mother still breastfeed her child when she's so badly injured?

After consulting with the military doctor, the doctor said that the external wound medication would not affect breast milk.

These past two days, Mr. Luo has been taking Yuanyuan to eat at the buffet every meal.

Yuanyuan is being coaxed and held by her wet nurse while eating.

This little thing will absolutely not open its mouth unless it's starving to the point of desperation.

It's better now.

They didn't even open their eyes, just held their own rice bowl and ate with gusto.

They absolutely won't stop until they've finished eating all the rice in both bowls.

Mrs. Luo watched with trepidation each time, afraid that her little granddaughter would overeat.

But they were completely unharmed.

After eating and drinking to their heart's content, they become well-behaved children.

She doesn't cry or fuss, and is very easy to take care of.

She repeatedly marveled at how healthy her daughter-in-law was.

Normally, a new mother's milk supply should decrease if she stops breastfeeding for seven to ten days.

They were on the verge of weaning the day they returned.

But the daughter-in-law still had milk.

Little did she know that her daughter-in-law had been taking every opportunity to manually express milk from her breasts whenever she experienced breast engorgement and pain.

She also uses her supernatural abilities to clear the meridians in her chest every day.

So now.

There has been no case of blocked milk ducts.

After the granddaughter came back, she was able to continue eating.

Mrs. Luo attributed it all to the fact that her daughter-in-law had good food at her parents' home, which laid the foundation for her good health.

Whenever I think of this, I have to praise my own foresight back then.

This family is where it is today because she's been shrewd and calculating all her life!

Gan Minglan ignored her mother-in-law's sudden radiance and, holding her daughter who was almost twenty days old, couldn't help but feel heartache.

It is said that newborn babies grow rapidly, changing every day.

Yuan Yuan's skin is no longer as red as it was at birth, and it's starting to turn whiter. Surprisingly, her weight is almost the same as before she left.

She watched her daughter, who was lying in her arms, eating hurriedly.

Listening to Madam Luo recount their experience of changing several wet nurses for the little one in the prefectural city, the little one's mother was truly at a loss for words, both laughing and crying.

It's not that the wet nurse's milk is bad.

Instead, she drank the essence of the sacred tree like water throughout her entire pregnancy.

The breast milk produced by such a body is definitely different from that of ordinary people.

For the first two weeks after her daughter was born, she was essentially drinking nectar every meal.

Suddenly, it was replaced with ordinary meals.

The baby may be small, but she's not stupid!

The scent of wood on my mother and the taste of her breast milk were completely different from those of other mothers.

Look at how pathetic she is now.

Anyone who didn't know better would think she only had one meal left.

Mr. Luo watched with great interest.

He murmured:
"Yuanyuan is so young, and she's already this smart? I remember Fatty wasn't this clever before he was six months old. Who did she take after?"

Gan Minglan: "Isn't it said that sons resemble their mothers and daughters resemble their fathers? What was my husband like when he was a child?"

Oh My God.

I haven't seen my daughter-in-law for a few days, how come she's become so good at praising people?

While praising my son for being smart, she also praised her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Luo smiled, her face crinkling with wrinkles: "Yes, yes, let me tell you, when Kang'er was a month old..."

Luo spoke for a full quarter of an hour about the topic of Zuo Wenkang's exceptional intelligence from a young age.

Zuo Wenkang, who was about to come in carrying a bowl of chicken soup, blushed deeply upon hearing this.

Even the rice-eating Yuanyuan got tired of hearing it, so she took a big sip from the top of her rice bowl.

"hiss!"

Not everyone can withstand the pain of being sucked by their own daughter!

If she weren't so young, I would have spanked her.

A certain new mom thought this way.

After the news of General Yu's awakening spread, the post station became lively again.

The military dependents all brought her nourishing supplements (eggs) to visit her.

"General Yu, please don't go to the border town! Let our garrison commander plead with the border soldiers on your behalf, and you can stay at Jinzhou Pass!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think General Yu can do whatever he wants? Even the garrison commander can't disobey the imperial decree! With General Yu's abilities, he might have even greater opportunities if he goes to the border city."

"General Yu, if it weren't for you, my whole family might be just an old woman like me left. You saved my eldest son and second son once. You are our family's benefactor."

"Without General Yu, our Jinzhou Pass would definitely have been slaughtered and looted by the Hu people. You are the benefactor of the entire Jinzhou Pass!"

"Yes, yes! We have placed a longevity tablet for you at the White Pagoda Temple so that all the children will remember your kindness in the future."

Gan Minglan was so frightened by the last woman's words that she waved her hands repeatedly:

"I am still a criminal and do not deserve to be treated like this by you aunties. The nickname 'General Jade' is easy to bring trouble. Please don't call me that anymore."

Saving others is saving yourself. No matter how strong I am, I can't stop the Hu people's army of thousands.

Ultimately, it was you native Jinzhou people who defended your Jinzhou Pass with your lives and blood.

If the aunties really want to make offerings, they should make offerings to the brave soldiers of the Guan army who fought valiantly in this war against the Hu people!
They are the greatest heroes, and their descendants, as well as every passerby who travels through Jinzhou Pass in the future, should remember the names of these martyrs!

The military families who had lost their husbands or sons could no longer control their emotions when they heard Gan Minglan praising their own family members.

I burst into tears instantly.

Meanwhile, in the corridor outside the room, stood a group of Guan Jun soldiers with red eyes.

General Yu truly lives up to his reputation!
Her heartfelt words made them feel ashamed of themselves.

Those who survived enjoyed glory and official careers.

And the brothers who died in this battle.

They are the ones who should be remembered the most!
