Chapter 213 Postpartum Confinement is like a rebirth for women

We were busy all day. Aunt Mai's family made five crab roe bricks, five crab meat bricks, and five pork belly bricks. Qin Suisui's ten jin (5 kg) of crab roe bricks were also made into two crab roe bricks, two crab meat bricks, and one pork belly brick. If they take all of this home, it will be enough for their family to eat for a long time!

"Okay!" Qin Suisui went home excitedly and brought over the remaining crabs, which weighed exactly thirty-odd jin.

Aunt Mai didn't mention money, but Qin Suisui couldn't be ungrateful, so she slipped two more yuan to her.

The money was given in front of her sons and daughters-in-law. After all, just because Aunt Mai had no objections to her didn't mean her sons and daughters-in-law had no objections. Giving the money made both sides feel comfortable, and it wouldn't put Aunt Mai and her husband in an awkward position in front of their sons and daughters-in-law.

The next morning, Qin Suisui, like a happy little bee, carefully arranged dried chicken, dried rabbit, cured pork, sausage, ribs, pig's feet, and crab roe and meat bricks in the yard to dry.

For convenience, Pei Jiuyan cut down a few sturdy bamboo stalks and built two racks in the backyard specifically for drying cured meats.

The reason they didn't put it in the front yard was twofold: firstly, there was a vegetable garden in the front yard, so there wasn't enough space; secondly, they had a lot of cured meats, and putting them in the front yard would be too conspicuous, and anyone who came by could see them.

Pei Jiuyan helped her with the work, and seeing the little girl's excited face, he couldn't help but laugh: "I can take care of these things, you can sleep a little longer."

Qin Suisui shook her head: "Now I finally understand the joy that hamsters experience when they hoard food. You have no idea. What I enjoy is the process of preparing food."

These words made Pei Jiuyan reflect in his heart whether he was not earning enough or being capable enough, which made his wife feel insecure and caused her to want to hoard food.

After packing everything up, the family ate breakfast, and Pei Jiuyan took Zanzan to school.

Qin Suisui was tidying up the fish and shrimp from yesterday in the yard, preparing to dry salted fish, dried squid, and dried shrimp.

However, just as Pei Jiuyan said, this kind of slippery work wasn't suitable for her. Qin Suisui got annoyed after a while and simply gave up, deciding to wait for Pei Jiuyan to come back and do it.

She drew water from the well to wash her hands, then ran to the front yard, pulled up a carrot, and gnawed on it. Standing at the gate, she pondered whether she should find an excuse to go out today and take some mutton and beef from her spatial storage.

Before I had even finished eating the carrot, I heard a sound coming from outside the yard.

Qin Suisui strolled out and saw that it was Aunt Tang from next door who had been discharged from the hospital and returned.

She knew that Sister-in-law Tang had woken up; she heard that she woke up the day after giving birth, which was the day she returned from the sea base.

However, because Sister Tang's premature birth was also related to the incident at the sea base, and because the ward was always guarded for the safety of the mother and child, Qin Suisui did not go to the hospital.

"Sister-in-law, you're back!" Qin Suisui threw away the carrot that was now just the bottom and quickly went to greet her.

After giving birth and experiencing severe bleeding, Sister Tang's face was still somewhat pale.

Upon seeing Qin Suisui, tears immediately welled up in her eyes, and she grasped Qin Suisui's arms with both hands: "Suisui, thank goodness I have you!"

Although she was not fully conscious at the time, she knew that Qin Suisui had gone to great lengths to save her and her child.

It's mid-December now, and the weather is a bit chilly. There's even a cool breeze outside today. Qin Suisui quickly helped her up and led her inside: "Sister-in-law, let's go quickly. Let's not talk here. It's very chilly outside. You can't stand the cold while you're in postpartum confinement."

Once inside the house, Aunt Tang felt like crying again.

Guo Gang scratched the back of his head: "Sui Sui, please help me persuade her. Your sister-in-law has been crying a lot in the hospital these past few days. I've told her that she shouldn't cry during her postpartum period because it's bad for her eyes, but I just can't persuade her."

Tang's wife glared at him: "I almost died! If it weren't for Sui Sui saving me, you'd be getting a new wife by now!"

Guo Gang: ...

Qin Suisui chuckled: "Brother Guo, your wife just gave birth, and her hormones are still unstable. It's normal for her to have mood swings. Don't take it to heart. I'll talk to her."

Guo Gang nodded: "Okay, then I'll trouble you, Sui Sui. I'll go out and put Xiao Bao to sleep first."

After Guo Gang left and the door closed, Aunt Tang grabbed Qin Suisui's hand, lowered her voice, and said with a look of horror, "Suisui, I saw it that day. It was clearly Tu Meizi and her brother-in-law in that room!"

Qin Suisui patted her hand, indicating that she understood.

That day, after she braved the rain to enter Sister Tang's delivery room, the first thing she said was: "Sister-in-law, no matter what you saw in the cabin, you must insist that you don't know anything, don't say anything, just say you didn't see clearly."

Tang's sister-in-law trusts Qin Suisui, so she hasn't told anyone about this matter, not even her husband Guo Gang.

The reason she wasn't allowed to speak was because Qin Suisui wasn't sure if the matter could be completely resolved. After all, the organization was still investigating, and if it couldn't be completely resolved, it would involve Sister Tang in danger as well.

After comforting Sister-in-law Tang, Qin Suisui told her everything that had happened in the past two days.

She didn't have the idea of ​​"not letting you know for your own good." In Qin Suisui's view, if you really want what's best for the other person, you have to tell them everything completely so that if they encounter a problem, they can make the right decision.

After hearing this, Sister Tang's eyes reddened again: "So, Sister Tu was tortured to death by those beasts like that?"

Qin Suisui put her index finger to her lips, making a shushing gesture: "Sister-in-law, the organization is still investigating this matter, so it's fine for you and me to know."

Sister-in-law Tang nodded, trying hard to hold back her tears.

"Come here, let me take your pulse and see what you're lacking. We'll make up for it slowly! Don't worry, with me here, I guarantee you'll be back to your youthful self in less than six months, looking as young as 18 again, and making our Brother Guo completely infatuated!"

Sister-in-law Tang chuckled: "If I could go back to being 18, who would want to date that old man? I would definitely go find some young and handsome guys."

That's what she said, but Qin Suisui knew that Sister-in-law Tang and Brother Guo had always had a good relationship, which was why she dared to joke like that. If it were some chauvinistic men, they would have a huge fight if they heard such words.

However, Qin Suisui was right. For women, postpartum confinement is like a rebirth. If postpartum confinement is done well, some minor ailments may even improve, and both physical condition and overall health will be greatly enhanced.

Unfortunately, her grandmother used to do this kind of work. Before the social atmosphere became so strict, many well-off families in Jiangcheng would go to her grandmother after having a baby and ask her to help them take care of their health.

Because of this, Qin Suisui didn't need to rack her brains to find an excuse to go out.
