After watching Zhang's mother leave, Zhang Guoqing returned to the bedroom, locked the door, opened the thermos, poured in hot water, and found a new towel. "Jiaojiao, let me wipe you with a hot towel first. Otherwise, our son will have nothing to eat."

As he spoke, he took off Zhou Jiao's underwear, quickly wiped the quilt with a steaming hot towel, and hurriedly covered it with the quilt.

"Don't be careless. You can't stand the cold during confinement. It's really cold in Northeast China right now, and it's really inconvenient without air conditioning. Hehe, Jiaojiao, look at us, do we look like the year we first met?

"Oh, you were a freshman in college then. I still remember you were so skinny, with a sallow face. Your big eyes looked particularly bright, and you looked so energetic. At that time, I thought that if I were to be my wife, I would raise you to be plump and white. With your big eyes, you would look better than the dolls in New Year pictures. You finally gained some weight, but now you're back to where you were before liberation." He recalled, "Afterwards, he tried every way to get close to her, and it took him two years to get her to accept him. During those two years, he saw her busy with work, desperately trying to squeeze out time to make money, which made him feel even more sad than he, an orphan."

After much effort, he planned to get married and gave her 50,000 yuan as a betrothal gift. His friends consoled him, but he didn't really take it to heart. He stayed with her for more than 5 years, waiting for his mother to agree. Let alone 50,000 yuan, even if he spent everything he had to have her, it would be enough.

What's more, he was reluctant to let her get married without a matchmaker. With her parents' blessing, even if it was a blessing of money, he wanted her to hold her head high in front of others.

In the face of money, he would rather fight hard in front of customers than let her suffer any harm. She, who was alone, and he, who was an orphan, were originally tolerant of each other and gave each other warmth.

Zhou Jiao said coquettishly: "Hubby, luckily you are here, otherwise how can I survive?"

"Haha, I'm not afraid. I have my husband here. I'm not afraid. As long as we're together as a family, we're not afraid. Take care of the confinement first. We'll think about our future life after the New Year. You can't use your brain now. Confinement is all about eating and drinking."

"Yeah, I'll listen to my husband. Actually, apart from you and the child, there's nothing left in that world from my previous life that I'm nostalgic for. The only pity is the necklace space. There's a lot of food and baby formula in it. If the space was still there, my son wouldn't have to worry about running out of formula and diapers..."

Bang bang, then milk powder, diapers, and a bowl of braised pork appeared on the quilt that Zhou Jiao was covering herself with.

The couple was dumbfounded. Zhou Jiao babbled incoherently, "Honey, I was just craving braised pork, and the baby formula and diapers came out on their own. I was just thinking it would be nice if they were still there, so I came out. Wait for me, I'll try to get the confinement soup out."

Sure enough, the familiar blue and white porcelain bowl of postpartum soup was still piping hot. This was specially ordered from the postpartum care center.

The two of them were grinning at each other. With the space, they felt confident about their future life. Even if they had money, they might not be able to buy rice and brown sugar, let alone pig's trotters, crucian carp, and old hens for milk production.

Now Zhang Guoqing is no longer worried that Zhou Jiao will not be able to recuperate during the confinement period, and the child does not have to worry about not having milk to drink.

After a while, Zhang Guoqing said to Zhou Jiao in a serious tone, "Jiaojiao, put all your things into the space first. Listen to me first and then speak!"

Think about the aroma of braised pork in this sealed room. Isn't it too rare for people nowadays? Just smell it and you will know. There are also some strong aromas in the space that you cannot take out.

We are still living together and it is very easy to be exposed.

Don't use it casually in the future. When we split up after the New Year and have our own space, we can make plans then. Tomorrow I'll go out and find a small stove to put in the living room for protection. You can keep the postpartum meals in it during the day and replenish them at night. If anyone asks you about it, just tell them I found it."

Seeing Zhang Guoqing's serious face, Zhou Jiao knew the seriousness of the matter, so she listened carefully and nodded. Now the safety of the family is the most important thing, and they are not afraid of having no space.

Zhang Guoqing touched Jiaojiao's head and thought, "Alas, I scared her by talking to her in a nice way. If I don't speak seriously and fail to handle it carefully, it will be troublesome if it causes trouble."

"It's okay, I'm by your side. If anyone really has doubts, just shake your head. If someone asks, just say you don't know, it was all your mother and I who did it. Now your mother has a good excuse."

Zhou Jiao nodded hurriedly, like a chicken pecking at rice: "I know, it's a crime to possess a treasure. Don't worry. I don't usually use it. When I do, you take it out and peek. Only at night when you are home late at night and everyone is asleep, we can secretly eat it alone. Haha, it's quite embarrassing."

"Now think of something happy. Look inside the space to see if everything is there. And see if the gold is there too. Are you happy now?

Thinking about it again, I seem to have bought a lot of organic rice, farm pork, bacon, and a lot more. Well, when I think about that fat man's mutton shop, I seem to have let him brag about buying 10 sheep from his hometown. Later, he slaughtered them and sent them to me in a refrigerated truck, and you accepted them at that time.

Thinking about it again, oh yes, the last time we were at the farm house, I think I bought a lot of beef from the neighboring farm, haha..."

Zhou Jiao is nodding her head in admiration now. At that time, she was not willing to put it in the space, and even bought a lot of plastic boxes to put it in.

"That's right. You also asked Xiao Yang to buy 50 black-bone chickens and eggs at a high price. They're here too. Everything is here, but the staple food, rice, is relatively scarce. The pork is the most abundant, and it's just cut into strips. Find a way to bring it out for Mom tomorrow."

Zhang Guoqing was finally relieved when he saw Zhou Jiao's expression. Now he can rest well during the confinement period.

In a famine year, sweet potatoes and potatoes are better than eating tree roots and bark. You should also collect some wild vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins. In addition, you should take the opportunity to buy some soybeans and mung beans. Soybeans can supplement protein and can also be used to make tofu. Mung beans can cool down and quench thirst in the summer drought and can also grow bean sprouts.

Zhang Guoqing watched his son's tiny arms and legs feeding, Jiaojiao looked at the child in her arms with a gentle smile, and suddenly his nose felt sore. At this moment, he was overwhelmed with mixed emotions. In the past, he had never wanted a blood-related child so deeply.

This is his son, the continuation of his life in this world. He wants to give him all the good things in the world and keep him away from evil and danger.

He now understands his father a little bit. His father loved him at that time. He rushed over as soon as he heard that he was in the welfare home. He must have been as excited and anxious as he is now.
