70: Raising a wife, the whole village is inhaling the aroma of stewed meat.

"Is it because Brother Guiliang's family doesn't have enough money to hold a funeral?"

"Well, later, I delivered mutton to his house, and many people in the village went over and brought him food as well, at least to lend a helping hand."

"If our mom insists on getting that five yuan back, then all this help will seem ridiculous."

Liu Yue'e heard this at the door and sighed inwardly.

Fortunately, she wasn't in the village. If others found out that she was demanding the five yuan back and forcing Liu Guiliang's family into a corner, Zhou Qingwen would lose all face in the whole village.

Liu Yue'e secretly felt fortunate.

"Luckily, I didn't ask for it."

Auntie gently patted Liu Yue'e's hand and said, "Alright, shall we go wash the diapers?"

"Okay, sure."

Liu Yue'e looked at the diapers outside and said happily, "The three kids are eating well, so we can change their diapers more often."

Chen Lanxin comforted her, saying, "It's alright. Fortunately, we didn't tell anyone outside that we wanted that money, so let's just let it go."

"Hmm, never mind, it's only five yuan. We can save a little and we'll have it."

Chen Lanxin smiled and said, "Yes, yes, that's right!"

Liu Yue'e took a deep breath. She didn't know that Zhou Qingwen had delivered a wild goat and heard Liu Guiliang's complaints.

However, Liu Yue'e now understands.

Five yuan is not much to him, but for Liu Guiliang, it must be the price of oil and salt for his whole family for a month.

At the very least, Liu Yue'e used to live a frugal life like this.

Zhou Qingwen changed Xiao Jinxuan's diaper in the room, and then changed Xiao Jinxue's diaper.

Then she brought the two children to Yu Yalan's side and fed them.

Yu Yalan fed the children carefully, her eyes filled with love as she looked at them.

Seriously, it's so cute it's melting my heart.

Jin Xuan ate heartily; as the older brother, his appetite was clearly much larger than Jin Xue's.

Moreover, when I held him, I could feel that Xiao Jinxuan was significantly heavier.

Xiao Jinxue is too delicate, and her figure is much lighter.

Zhou Qingwen said with heartache, "Little Jinxue, you have to keep drinking milk, otherwise your brother will steal Grandma's milk."

Little Jinxue glanced around, then delicately resumed nursing.

Yu Yalan smiled and said, "Look at you, eating the same things as your daughter and son, won't you grow too strong?"

"For a girl, it's enough to be pretty and cute."

Zhou Qingwen laughed and said, "When I teach my daughter boxing in the future, which boy will dare to bully her? I'll knock him down with one punch!"

Yu Yalan's eyes widened in shock: "You've turned my daughter into a tomboy?"

"What's there to be afraid of? Our daughter won't have trouble finding a husband. She just needs to learn how to protect herself!"

Yu Yalan laughed bitterly, "You actually taught such a good girl to become a boxing champion?"

"Otherwise what?"

"Get out of here! My daughter doesn't want to learn boxing! It's terrifying!"

Yu Yalan helped her daughter lie down. Yu Yalan's bottom was a little sore from sitting for so long.

She hasn't been eating staple foods for a while, and she's lost weight very quickly.

However, we've started adding staple foods in the last couple of days.

However, the amount of staple food is controlled very little.

There are many meat and vegetable dishes.

Seeing Yu Yalan hug her daughter and lie down on the bed, Zhou Qingwen immediately leaned over and said, "Wife, it's good for our daughter to practice boxing. In the future, only your son-in-law will suffer losses, never your daughter!"

Yu Yalan raised an eyebrow slightly: "I don't want to!"

Zhou Qingwen swallowed hard; he wouldn't give up!

Yu Yalan held Xiao Jinxue, lay down, and closed her eyes slightly, perhaps because new mothers are more prone to fatigue.

She fell asleep again.

Zhou Qingwen looked around and saw that his wife, son, and daughter were all asleep on the bed.

He crawled into bed and fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, I heard the sound of a baby crying.

Zhou Qingwen immediately opened his eyes and turned up the oil lamp on the table.

The oil lamp at night cast long shadows.

"Don't cry, child, Daddy's here."

Zhou Qingwen ran to the foot of the bed, picked up Xiao Jinxuan, and touched him; he had peed.

Zhou Qingwen quickly changed the diaper, then took the bottle and gave Xiao Jinxuan a little warm milk.

Once Xiao Jinxuan felt comfortable, he fell asleep again.

Yu Yalan and Xiao Jinxue were still asleep.

Perhaps it was because the mother and daughter were very close together.

Therefore, I slept very soundly.

Zhou Qingwen gently placed Xiao Jinxuan down and patted him lightly.

Xiao Jinxuan was also sleeping soundly.

After putting Xiao Jinxuan to sleep, Zhou Qingwen got up and dressed to prepare breakfast.

Because it was already 5 a.m.

When Zhou Qingwen came out, he saw Liu Yue'e and said, "Mom, I shouldn't have spoken to you so harshly yesterday. I'm sorry!"

Liu Yue'e was taken aback by the sudden apology.

"It's okay, I don't blame you."

After a long pause, Liu Yue'e smiled and said, "It's all because I valued money too much in the past. You're right, these five dollars are no longer the most important thing to us. The Liu family is struggling, so we shouldn't ask for the money."

"Mom, the wild goat I gave away yesterday is worth several tens of yuan. If I take five yuan from him, the whole village will gossip about me behind my back."

"Okay, I understand. Let's not talk about it anymore. I'll go make breakfast."

"Yeah, me too."

"Let's go together."

Zhou Qingwen was rolling out dough, while Liu Yue'e was making pancakes in a pan.

It's a thick, leavened flatbread, crispy and delicious when served with meat broth.

Zhou Qingwen couldn't resist and ate the first one he made.

One bite, and it's crispy and fragrant. "Mmm, it smells so good! Mom, you should take a bite too, so you'll have the energy to work!"

Liu Yue'e smiled and said, "Okay!"

Liu Yue'e took a bite in the spot where Zhou Qingwen had bitten.

"Not bad."

"Of course! This pancake has six eggs in it!"

Yu Yalan smiled and said, "Let Xiaoya and the others eat more of this later."

"Eat them all."

Yu Yalan woke up at this time, went to urinate, and when she came back, Xiao Jinxue was awake. She reached out and gently picked her up and changed her diaper.

Gently, I held her and looked around the room before she nursed.

Xiao Jinxue fell asleep instantly again.

Let alone a newborn baby, they just eat and sleep, sleep and eat again.

Of course, do mothers think that postpartum confinement is a time for idleness?

No, that's not it at all. That's taking care of the child's eating, drinking, and toileting needs.

I'm so busy I'm tossing and turning in bed.

If it weren't for Zhou Qingwen's help, Yu Yalan probably wouldn't be able to sleep well at all.

Taking care of two children is twice as tiring as taking care of one child.

Zhou Qingwen carefully entered the room and saw Yu Yalan sitting there drinking water: "Wife, are you hungry?"

"Hmm, I am a little hungry."

"Okay, I'll go get your toothbrush. You can rinse your mouth and then have breakfast. Breakfast is shortbread and venison soup."

"Okay, are those shortbreads the kind you bring when you hunt?"

"Yes! Mom made them herself."

"Okay, I'll have two!"

Yu Yalan held up two fingers with her little hand, her smiling face making Zhou Qingwen's heart itch. He stepped forward and kissed her forehead, saying, "You little darling, I really want to do you!"
