Chapter 167 I'll take the blame, you be the good guy.

As Lu Xiangyang turned the corner on his bike, Jiang Jianni nudged him and said, "Quick, take me to get something to eat, I'm starving."

no way.

She is currently breastfeeding and is on a fasting period for many things in order to protect her child.

For example, ginger, chili peppers, and Sichuan peppercorns. Some people say that eating them will help stop breastfeeding, while others are afraid that eating them will cause internal heat, and if the child is too young, it will be difficult to treat.

After all, medical care was still very underdeveloped in the 1990s.

Unlike twenty years from now, when many children from birth to age ten will need to be hospitalized for pneumonia, bronchitis, or other illnesses almost every spring and summer or autumn and winter.

Even though Jiang Jianni doesn't really believe in these things, she gave birth to the children herself and doesn't want them to suffer too much at such a young age.

So I can only suppress my urges and comfort myself by thinking it will be fine once I'm weaned.

Lu Xiangyang obediently rode towards the street with the most snacks: "What do you want to eat?"

There are so many things I want to eat.

I want to eat boiled mutton, spicy dry pot, hot pot, and sliced ​​beef and tripe in chili sauce. I want to eat everything.

However, it's just a thought.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jianni instantly became listless and said weakly, "Anything is fine, there's only so much food anyway."

There's plenty of meat—chicken, duck, fish, pork, beef, lamb—a much richer variety than before I had children.

However, the available options are limited.

Lu Xiangyang was also helpless about this: "Just bear with it for a while."

“My mom told me that my brother and I were weaned at six months. When the two little rascals are six months old, we’ll wean them too.”

Jiang Jianni exclaimed in surprise, "That's your own child!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she giggled and said, "Since you, their biological father, have said so, I, as their mother, can't object. We'll wean them when they're six months old."

Lu Xiangyang was speechless: "...Fine, fine, fine, I'll take the blame as the father, you, as the mother, just play the good guy."

Jiang Jiani burst into laughter.

The food at the food stalls actually has only slightly fewer ingredients than restaurant food, but it still has all the essentials. However, Jiang Jianni has been drinking soup and broth for two months, so she is quite satisfied with eating a meal at a roadside stall occasionally.

When I got home, the two little ones were crying.

Jiang Jianni quickly went to greet her: "Are you hungry?"

Although she had breastfed the baby before leaving the house, a two-month-old baby can get hungry and want to eat again at any time, so the feeding times are actually quite unpredictable.

Aunt Liu smiled and said, "No, she's just waking up and making a fuss."

Two-month-old babies no longer sleep all day like they did when they were newborns.

After eating, drinking, and sleeping well, you will be awake for a while.

Aunt Lu rubbed her aching back and said, "I'm getting old. Luckily, you had children early."

“If you had your children a few years later, I really wouldn’t have been able to take care of them.”

She was puzzled.

The third child's twins weighed just over four pounds at birth, which was at least one or two pounds heavier than the average baby, let alone compared to other chubby babies who weigh seven or eight pounds. This made her always worry that she wouldn't be able to raise the two children.

But in just two months, the two children grew rapidly, as if they had been given fertilizer.

Not only did he grow to 62 centimeters tall, but he also weighed 7 kilograms, making him larger than a normal single-birth baby.

They're sure to grow up to be as tall as their father.

So much so that she can't stand holding him for long now.

no way.

The three years spent in the countryside did cause some damage to their health; Lu's mother developed problems with her back and other joints during those three years.

Even now, I'm still not very brave enough to bend over.

Not to mention carrying a baby weighing over ten kilograms for an extended period of time.

I really can't take it anymore.

The baby probably sensed the parents' presence and scent, and stopped crying after being placed in Jiang Jiani and Lu Xiangyang's arms, starting to look around curiously.

The two of them carried their children to the balcony of the master bedroom, letting the little ones experience the spaciousness outside.

Jiang Jianni couldn't help but sigh, "These two kids came at the worst possible time."

Lu Xiangyang retorted, "How is it not the right time? I think it's just the right time."

God knows how painful it must have been for him to be forced to stay in bed for two months after just getting married and having his first taste of sex. Only other men can truly understand how difficult that must have been.

Moreover, this child was conceived on the day of the wedding.

Is there a more auspicious day than this?

Jiang Jianni rolled her eyes at him: "I mean, if the weather is still warm, we can take the child outside to bask in the sun."

Although it's not freezing cold right now, it's still not suitable for babies to go out.

Of course, the worst part is that there's no heating.

Unlike single-story houses, apartment buildings don't have heated earthen beds (kang) for heating.

They can only keep warm with thick blankets now.

Jiang Jianni used to not understand why those period dramas, especially rural period dramas, always dressed very bulkily in winter, regardless of age or gender.

Now she understands.

Because in winter, only cotton-padded jackets and trousers are the most resistant to the cold.

The two children watched with their eyes open for a while before falling asleep.

The two tiptoed down and put the child down. Jiang Jianni whispered, "I heard there's heating now. Should we ask around and see if we can get heating installed in our house too?"

She only found out about the heating system from other teachers at school.

However, it's not centralized heating. Even if you install heating, you have to use a small boiler at home to keep warm after installing radiators.

The advantage is that you can control the temperature and time you want to heat up, but the disadvantage is that you can easily get carbon monoxide poisoning if you're not careful.

Jiang Jiani's family in her previous life was an ordinary family. She didn't know what heating was until she was in elementary school. Her family installed this homemade heating system when she was in junior high school.

During the period right after the installation, I heard her mother mention several times how improper fire control could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

One family was so oblivious that not a single member was alert, and as a result, the whole family died.

The others are those who discovered the problem in time and successfully saved themselves.

Jiang Jiani has also experienced carbon monoxide poisoning.

It was during my university years that I visited a classmate's home in the countryside during winter break.

That classmate's house didn't have heating either, so they used a coal stove to keep warm.

The next morning, while her classmates were still asleep, Jiang Jianni suddenly woke up.

I don't know how, but suddenly I realized I had carbon monoxide poisoning.

With weak hands and feet, she reached for the door. Her hand had just touched the doorknob, and before she could even open it, she suddenly fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

When I woke up, I had already been taken to the village clinic and was receiving an IV drip.

The classmate cried so hard that her nose and tears were all mixed up. She kept saying that she thought she was dead and was terrified.

She later found out that her classmate didn't feel anything at all.

She consulted a doctor and learned that she might be too sensitive to carbon monoxide.

A concentration that would be fine for most people, Jiang Jianni couldn't stand.

Thinking of her past experiences, Jiang Jianni couldn't help but shudder: "Forget it, I'll stop pretending. It's fine as it is now."

When centralized heating is available in the future, they can move to houses with centralized heating.
