Liu Yun transmigrated into a series of books written by an author, becoming the biggest scapegoat in the story. This couldn't stand, so she decided that whoever wanted to be the scapegoat could...
It’s still more comfortable at home!
Because Liu Aidang's wife was also pregnant and there were many children in the family, Liu's mother always came and went in a hurry.
The triplets' crib has been moved to their parents' room, and the cradle they used to have has been handed over to the boy and girl twins.
Having gone through postpartum confinement once before, Liu Yun handled it with ease this time. Apart from the lochia, which initially caused her unbearable pain, she was able to sneak out to her room for some fresh air and enjoy a few pieces of fruit after it cleared up.
This maternity leave was entirely spent on postpartum care. After returning to work, Liu Yun's life became more and more regular. Every morning, after breakfast, she would feed the twins and then comfort the triplets so they wouldn't feel neglected before going to work. At noon, she would go back for lunch because she had an hour of breastfeeding leave, feed the twins, and comfort the triplets. The same routine was repeated in the evenings. Occasionally, she could even find time to go online.
Liu Yun's nutrition was excellent, and the twins were growing every day. Liu Yun had noticed a ewe in her spatial storage that had given birth and could be milked, but she didn't know how. Just as she was wondering if she should find an excuse to bring it home, her father, without a word, brought back a milking ewe. Now, Liu Yun and the triplets were drinking a lot of milk, not just goat milk but also formula. The house was also constantly stocked with various soups. Liu Yun was running around all day, but her complexion didn't worsen; in fact, it was very rosy, making everyone in the office extremely envious, especially Zhang Meng, whose face was sallow. Apparently, she had given birth to a daughter, and her mother-in-law barely cared for her; her own mother had taken care of her during her postpartum period.
In fact, whether in the city or the countryside, the preference for sons over daughters is the norm. The Yu family is ultimately rare. Most families are like Zhang Meng and the woman in the hospital. Regardless of whether the family is well-off or poor, the preference for sons over daughters is the same.
Take the Liu family for example. Did Liu's parents love Liu Jing? Yes, but it couldn't compare to their love for her brothers. That was because Liu Jing was their first daughter. But look at how Liu's parents treated the original owner when their second child was also a girl. It might be due to the protagonist's halo, but the main reason was still their preference for sons over daughters.
Dangdang and An'an are chubby, and Tuantuan, Yuanyuan, and Beibei love to tease these two chubby babies who can't talk. The chubby babies even have names now: the older sister is called Yu Jin, and the younger brother is called Yu Hua.
"Grandma, how long until my little brother and sister grow up and can play with us?"
"When will they be able to eat fruit?!"
"Can Beibei eat their fruit?"
“When you start school, your younger siblings can play with you, and then you can teach them to read and write. Grandma also knows that you haven’t finished practicing your characters today. Dad will be back soon, and then you won’t have any more fruit. I’m sure you’ll be very happy about that.”
"I'll go write it right away."
“Yuanyuan is already doing great; she can write ten characters already.”
“Beibei is great too, she can write Beibei now, Daddy should give Guoguo more of that.”
Looking at the three cheerful children, Yu's mother admired Liu Yun. How did she manage to make her three children call for their father whenever something happened, and their mother whenever nothing happened? And how did she raise these three children to be so confident and outrageous, yet achieve such excellent grades?
Liu Yun could only say that she had watched too much online parenting and decided to try it out, and the results were surprisingly good.
When your child is learning to speak, don't constantly teach their mother. Instead, encourage them to call out "Dad" more often. "Dad is so affectionate! Dad is so great! He can do everything. What can Mom do? Just eat."
So if we have any problems, we should go to Dad to solve them, but we can come to Mom to play.
As for self-confidence, children should be encouraged more. As long as they are not arrogant, a little more self-confidence is a good thing.
Liu Yun and Yu Qian have been dedicated to teaching their children self-discipline and self-awareness. Everything else is fine, but when it comes to food, they seem completely unable to change. They eat whatever is available, without stopping. Liu Yun even suspects it's because there are too many snacks at home. Fortunately, they only give them all-natural snacks and have never given them candy; otherwise, how could they possibly have healthy teeth?
As the weather gets hotter, Yu's mother is getting busier. Every morning, she has to bathe Dangdang and An'an and wash their bottoms. Then she applies talcum powder to their bottoms, elbows, wrists, knees, ankles, armpits, and necks. Otherwise, the children are too chubby and it's hot, so they are prone to rashes.
Seeing that Mrs. Yu was getting busier and busier, Mr. Yu was also starting to plan his retirement. After working hard for most of his life, he was ready to enjoy his grandchildren. June is graduation season, and Mr. Yu has retired. Tomorrow, the couple will take their twins and triplets for a walk after dinner.
Yu Qianhe and Liu Yun are very grateful for the help from Yu's parents. They try their best to make their home as comfortable as possible. Now Yu Qianhe makes breakfast, and Liu Yun makes dinner, or Liu Yun and Yu's mother make dinner together.
To be honest, in Liu Yun's heart, Yu's mother held a much higher position than her own mother. She had little affection for Yu's mother; her kindness stemmed mainly from the fact that she was using the original owner's body. Her parents, on the other hand, at least managed to raise her through high school, didn't starve her, or abandon her. They did raise her, so she felt she could be kinder to them as much as she could. Although outsiders saw her as doing exceptionally well, always bringing large bags of gifts and ensuring she lacked nothing in terms of food and clothing, she knew in her heart that her generosity was simply because she didn't need these things. What she gave was often just a pittance slipping through her fingers; she didn't care, and all she wanted was a good reputation.
But she had genuine feelings for her parents, especially her mother. Whenever she brought large bags of things, her mother never questioned her, and she always knew how to maintain a proper distance. Whenever her second or third sister-in-law said something, her mother would immediately retort. During both of her pregnancies, her mother took care of her every step of the way. She also did her best during her postpartum period. Her mother spent more time taking care of the triplets and the twins than she did. She usually took care of them at night when she was sleeping.
Not only her biological mother and children in the 21st century, but even the original owner's mother here didn't treat her as well as Yu's mother. Yu's mother and father gave her the feeling of her grandparents who raised her in the 21st century. Therefore, she was very willing to do her best to be good to Yu's father and mother.
Since the triplets grew a bit older and were able to eat complementary foods, Liu Yun has found a market for the eggs in her space. Now, her family can be described as a major consumer of eggs, and Liu Yun has to bring back a basket of eggs every other day.
Every morning, if we eat noodles, each of us will fry an egg. If we eat porridge or something else, each of us will boil an egg. Dangdang and An'an each consume an egg a day, which is nine eggs a day. Occasionally, we also use eggs to cook dishes.
After more than half a year, the fish in the space were raised again. With Mr. and Mrs. Yu helping to take care of the child, Liu Yun did her best to nourish the two elders in terms of food. And sure enough, perhaps because they were no longer working and had no pressure, the atmosphere at home was good, they ate well and slept well, Mr. Yu did look younger and more energetic, and he was not as serious as before.
Yu's mother hadn't been to the old house in a long time and missed her old friends and neighbors.
So the couple would take their kids out for a walk every day after dinner, bringing along their formula and bottles. Sometimes they would even sleep at the old house. The family would stay here for a few days and there for a few days, always having clothes and supplies from both places.
Seeing the leisurely life of Yu's parents, an elderly married couple, made Liu Yun extremely jealous.
She wanted to do that too, but reality wouldn't allow it.
