Chapter 153: Don’t call our children little mice!

Yu Xia covered her mouth and laughed: "Look at the way you two miss each other, it's stickier than honey."

She added a spoonful of soup to Fu Yucheng's bowl and said, "Drink more soup, it's more nourishing than just eating meatballs."

Fu Yucheng scooped a spoonful of soup into Yun Tangyin's bowl and said, "You should drink more too. The dried shrimp in this soup is a good source of calcium, much better than calcium tablets."

Just as Yun Tangyin was about to push him back, he held her hand down: "You're pregnant, you need nourishment more than me."

In the afternoon, Yun Tangyin sat on the bamboo couch embroidering baby shoes. Fu Yucheng leaned against the headboard and watched. Suddenly, he picked up a bamboo strip and fiddled with it: "When I get better, I'll weave a few more bamboo cradles for the child. They're lighter than wooden ones, so you can rock them easily."

"Okay," Yun Tangyin said, "We can also weave a few small pockets on the side of the cradle. It will be more convenient than carrying a cloth bag alone."

Fu Yucheng's eyes lit up: "You are more thoughtful than me who only thinks about the appearance."

He lowered his head and carved patterns on the bamboo strips. "I'll carve some little tiger patterns. It looks better than a plain one, and it can also ward off evil spirits."

Yun Tangyin couldn't help laughing: "Your head is full of these things, there's no place to put them if you keep doing them."

She stuffed a piece of maltose into his mouth.

Fu Yucheng chewed the candy and nodded: "Sweet, sweeter than honey."

Song Yushuang came in with a bamboo tray containing freshly steamed pumpkin cakes. "Try it now. It's made with brown sugar, and it's more nourishing than the white sugar version."

She stuffed a piece into Yun Tangyin's hand and said, "Give it to the child as a supplement. It's better than eating dry food all the time."

As soon as Yun Tangyin took a bite, she was warmed by the sweetness of the pumpkin: "It tastes better than the ones in the pastry shop in town."

She passed half a piece to Fu Yucheng's mouth and said, "Try it too. It's softer than malt sugar."

Fu Yucheng chewed on a pumpkin pie and suddenly pointed at the bamboo outside the window and said, "When I get better, I'll make you a bamboo flower stand. It's sturdier than a wooden one and can hold your favorite roses. It's better than having them in the house and taking up space."

"No need to bother," Yun Tangyin smiled and shook her head, "It's good to have you accompany me."

In the evening, Fu Yucheng wanted to get out of bed and move around. Yun Tangyin quickly supported him and said, "Walk slowly and be careful."

She stuffed a bamboo cane into his hand and said, "I made it. It's lighter than a wooden cane and more stable."

Fu Yucheng took two steps with his cane, then suddenly stopped and stuffed a small bamboo gadget into her hand: "I'm making a bamboo butterfly for you. It's more beautiful than a real butterfly. You can pin it on your lapel."

Yun Tangyin pinned the bamboo butterfly on her clothes and spun around: "It looks better than wearing flowers."

At dinner, Fu Yucheng put a piece of steamed fish into Yun Tangyin's bowl: "This fish has no bones and is lighter than braised fish. Eat more."

Yun Tangyin put a piece of tofu in his bowl and said, "Eat this. It's easier to digest than fish and will help heal your wounds."

Yuxia came in with a bamboo sieve to dry hawthorns and said with a smile, "Second brother, my dried hawthorns are even more sour than those sold in the pharmacy. When you get better, give them to Yinyin to drink in water. They'll be more soothing than preserved plums."

Fu Yucheng immediately responded: "I bought her some dried tangerine peel a long time ago. It's more appetizing than dried hawthorn. I put it in the bamboo cabinet."

Yun Tangyin patted him and said, "You are the only one who can do it." Her eyes were full of smiles.

At night, Yun Tangyin changed Fu Yucheng's wound dressing and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the wound had healed well. "It looks like it will be healed in two days. It's healing faster than expected."

Fu Yucheng grabbed her hand and pressed it against his face: "It's all thanks to you. It works better than any magic medicine."

He snuggled into her arms and said, "When I get better, I'll take you to the market in town. It's better than staying at home."

Yun Tangyin put her arm around his waist and said, "Okay, let's go buy your favorite braised pork elbow. It's more delicious than the ones we stew at home."

The bamboo wind chimes outside the window rang softly, as if accompanying the young couple's agreement.

The next morning, Yun Tangyin had just put breakfast on the table when Fu Yucheng came over and said, "Let's study today."

Yun Tangyin took out the unfinished book and smiled: "You are the only one who is proactive."

She had just read two sentences when Fu Yucheng interrupted: "That's not right."

Yun Tangyin tapped his arm and said, "Listen carefully. If you interrupt me, I won't read any more."

Although he said he was angry, his eyes were full of smiles.

Yuxia came in with a bamboo basin of water and said with a smile, "These two can bicker even while reading a book. They're more lively than young people."

She placed a plate of salad cucumbers on the table. "It's freshly made with mashed garlic. It's more refreshing than pickles and perfect with porridge."

Fu Yucheng put a cucumber into Yun Tangyin's bowl and said, "Eat more. It's better than eating hot dishes all the time."

Yun Tangyin also put a piece of rice in his bowl: "You should eat it too, it's better than just drinking porridge."

The sunlight poured into the house through the bamboo window, shining on the two of them, making them feel warm.

Fu Yucheng looked at Yun Tangyin's profile, and his heart felt like a warm stove. He felt that these days of recuperation were sweeter than any other time.

Fu Yucheng couldn't sleep at noon, so he pestered Yun Tangyin to chat: "Do you think the child will look like me or you when he is born? If he looks like you, his eyes will definitely be brighter than the stars; if he looks like me, he will definitely be stronger than me."

Yun Tangyin smiled and patted him: "It hasn't been born yet, you are more anxious than anyone else."

She pressed a small stuffed doll into his hand. "Just sewn it."

Fu Yucheng held the puppet and looked at it: "This little tiger is sewn so beautifully, it looks more lively than the ones I bought in town."

He suddenly leaned closer to her arms, "With you by my side... I really feel like I have hope for the future."

Yun Tangyin raised an eyebrow: "You only know how to say nice things to make me happy, but you don't know how to take care of yourself. Do you know how worried I am when you come home injured?"

Fu Yucheng nodded quickly: "I know, I know. I really won't dare to do it again in the future."

In the evening, Fu Yuanshan came to see Fu Yucheng, holding a bamboo birdcage in his hand: "I made this for you. It's lighter than a wooden one. Raising a bird to relieve boredom is better than lying down all the time."

Fu Yucheng took the birdcage and looked at it: "This craftsmanship is far worse than mine. I'll show you my skills when I get better."

Yun Tangyin stuffed a piece of pumpkin pie into Fu Yuanshan's hand and said, "Brother, try it. It's sweeter than the last time."

Fu Yuanzheng bit his smile and said, "My sister-in-law is more skillful than my husband."

At dinner, Fu Yucheng poured a bowl of millet porridge into Yun Tangyin's bowl: "This millet is sticky and better for the stomach than rice porridge. You should drink more."

Yun Tangyin put a piece of pork ribs into his bowl and said, "You should eat more too. It's more filling than millet porridge."

Song Yushuang looked at them and smiled: "They are truly a match made in heaven, more suitable than anyone else."

At night, Fu Yucheng touched Yun Tangyin's belly and suddenly said, "Did the child kick me just now? He's more lively than a little mouse."

He stuffed a small bamboo rattle into her hand and said, "When he comes out, use this to tease him. It sounds better than a bell."

Yun Tangyin shook her head and almost laughed out of anger: "Who would compare their own child to a mouse? You did it on purpose!"

She leaned closer to his arms and pinched Fu Yucheng's nose: "Don't call our child a little mouse, you hear me!"

Fu Yucheng hugged her tightly and nodded to admit his mistake. He felt sweet in his heart. He felt that although he could not go out during these days of recuperation, he was happier than any other time.
