Chapter 388 Taking Care of Children

"Third Aunt!" Su Ying was about to go back to her room to sleep, but she saw Wei looking out the gate.

"Yeah!" Wei closed the door.

Su Laosan went out in the morning and went to Rong County with Dou Jing and Wang Yannian. At the end of the evening, no one had returned.

"Don't worry, Third Aunt, Lord Dou is here. I believe County Magistrate Wang won't dare to act rashly!" Su Ying knew what Third Aunt was worried about.

With two more babies in the family, Mrs. Du and Mrs. Wei squeezed into Yang Chunhua's room to help take care of the children.

"Wa wa wa..." One cried, and the other followed suit.

Du and Wei each held one baby in their arms, changed the baby's diaper, and then held the baby to Yang Chunhua to feed. After the baby was full, the baby would smack its lips and continue to sleep soundly.

"What a rare person! He goes to sleep after eating and drinking, and doesn't make any noise at all!" Wei liked him very much.

"Yes, two identical children are really rare!" Mrs. Du sighed.

The two sisters-in-law were half-lying against the head of the bed, each taking care of a baby on a temporary bed in the outer room.

It’s not that I don’t have money to hire servants, it’s just that this place is remote and I can’t find suitable servants, so I might as well do it myself.

"Zhen'er, what do you and your third brother think about A'lu's matter?" Mrs. Du asked casually. Mrs. Hu had asked her privately yesterday.

"Sister-in-law, A'lu is still young, so it's better to go back to Chang'an and make plans!" Wei said tactfully.

Mrs. Du glanced at Mrs. Wei and said, "Indeed, the family she's looking for is very rich and she's right here! I'll find a chance to refuse Mrs. Hu some other day!"

Although it is a pity, the Hu family really does not like it and it would be a pity to throw it away.

If I were in her place, I wouldn't want Ah Ying to stay here alone, even though she is very capable and doesn't have to worry about being bullied.

"Yeah!" Wei nodded. The matter was over and there was no need to worry about it anymore. It was good.

"Sister-in-law, what about Aying? What do you think?" Wei asked.

"Aying?" Madam Du thought for a moment and sighed, "Let's go back to Chang'an first! I guess it's going to be difficult!"

He didn't want his daughter to marry far away, but everyone in Chang'an knew that Su Ying had broken off the engagement. She would be fifteen next year, and when she turned sixteen, she would become an unwanted girl.

"Aying is an official now, are you afraid of not being able to find a good family?" Wei comforted.

"Zhen'er, why are we still talking about those empty words?" Mrs. Du smiled bitterly.

"The more capable a woman is, the harder it is for her to get married. No matter how capable she is, won't she still get married and have children?

When a husband's family chooses a daughter-in-law, they choose someone who is virtuous, humble and gentle. What kind of personality does Ah Ying have?"

"Aying is such a genius, how many people in the world are worthy of her? Shouldn't Aying choose someone else? Why let someone else choose Aying?" Wei lamented.

My sister-in-law is right, this is the way the world is.

Thinking about the rare and extraordinary woman in the world who could not escape the troubles of worldly affairs, Wei suddenly felt that it was better for women to be a little stupid.

"Knock, knock, knock! Zhen'er, open the door!" There was a knock on the door outside the courtyard gate.

"My husband is back!" Wei hurriedly got up and opened the door.

"Wa wah..." The movement was a bit too loud and woke up the little baby who was sleeping soundly.

"Don't cry, Xiaobao! Don't cry, Xiaobao! It's your third uncle who's coming home!" Mrs. Du hurriedly picked up Xiaobao and patted him to comfort him.

"Second sister-in-law gave birth?" Su Laosan heard the baby crying.

"Yes, twins, dragon and phoenix!" Wei said with a smile.

"Dragon and phoenix twins?" Su Laosan was stunned. What great luck had the Su family struck? Two babies, a dragon and a phoenix, in one pregnancy!

"Come in quickly! My husband hasn't had his meal yet. I'll go and make a bowl of noodles!" Wei saw that her husband's face was a little blue and purple from the cold, and he was very cold from riding all the way.

"Well, thank you for your hard work!" Su Laosan hugged his wife tightly.

"Husband!" Wei's face turned red and she quickly pushed him away, fearing that someone would see them.

Su Laosan hugged Wei tightly and said, "My wife, please give me twins, a boy and a girl, okay?"

"Husband!" Wei's face flushed red. Unable to break free, she raised her fist and gently punched him twice. "How many bottles of wine did you drink? You come back and talk nonsense!"

"Hahaha!" Su Laosan laughed muffledly. He liked to see his wife looking shy and embarrassed.

"I'm serious! Zhen'er, let's have another child, okay?" Su Lao San stared at Wei with burning eyes.

"I'll get you something to eat!" Wei pushed her husband away and hurried to the kitchen, her steps a little messy.

Wei cooked more noodles and also made a bowl of fermented glutinous rice, brown sugar and eggs.

It was first sent to the second room. The eldest sister-in-law received a bowl of turnip noodles, and the second sister-in-law received a bowl of fermented glutinous rice wine, brown sugar and eggs.

She then brought a bowl of noodle dumpling soup to her husband, and Su Lao San gobbled it up in no time, finishing it all, including the soup.

"My dear husband, is this enough? I have another bowl here!" Seeing that her husband was still not satisfied, Wei pushed her bowl over.

Su Laosan grabbed his wife's hand and said, "I want to eat meat!"

"Husband!" Wei knew her husband was being naughty again, "I have to go look after my second sister-in-law later!"

"Zhen'er, Zhen'er!" Su Laosan hugged his wife tightly, unwilling to let go. "Let's have another child, okay?"

"Husband!" Wei's hands, which had been pushing hard against him, gradually softened and wrapped around her husband's neck...

Mrs. Du and Yang Chunhua, who had just finished their midnight snack, were surprised to see that Mrs. Wei had not come over yet. They were both experienced people and understood what he meant.

"Sister-in-law, let Xiaobao hold me here!" Yang Chunhua said.

Mrs. Du handed Xiaobao to Yang Chunhua. Xiaobao smelled his mother's scent, snuggled into her arms, and continued to sleep soundly.

Dabao slept next to Mrs. Du. Except for a few whimpers due to urination or hunger, he was very well behaved the rest of the time.

It didn't make any noise at all, and Mrs. Du could also sleep soundly.

"Sister-in-law!" In the morning, Wei came in with breakfast, her eyes full of spring and her face as rosy as a peach.

Mrs. Du smiled but said nothing, yawning sleepily.

"Sister-in-law, go and have a rest!" Wei said hurriedly.

"It's okay!" Mrs. Du waved her hand.

"Hmm..." The baby urinated and felt uncomfortable, so he started to hum.

I got some hot water, changed the baby's diaper, put him in his mother's arms, fed him, and then he went to sleep.

Atang and Xiaotao slipped in, "Why aren't you awake yet?"

"They are too young and need to sleep for ten hours a day!" Mrs. Du said softly.

"Ten hours, sleeping that long? Won't you become a pig?" The two sisters curled their lips in disgust.

"Wasn't it the same when you were a child?" Mrs. Du laughed.

"Ah?" Xiao Tao was surprised and looked at Atang in disbelief.

"Mom, what about me?" Atang asked.

"You too!" Mrs. Du said gently.

"How do you know?" Atang was surprised. Atang's mother hadn't seen him yet.

"Babies need to sleep for a full ten hours. As they grow older, the sleep time should gradually decrease," Mrs. Du explained.

Oh, that's it! The sisters understood.

"Uncle San! How was your trip to Rong County yesterday?" Su Ying saw that Uncle San was going on a long journey again, carrying a package.

"Well, you agreed quickly! Lord Dou is returning to the capital, and I will go to Rong County to guard it and supervise the plowing of each county and village. Please take good care of the family!"

Su Laosan smiled, squeezed his legs together, and rode away on his horse.

Mrs. Du came out carrying a large basin of small clothes and diapers, looking sleepy.

"Mom! Let me do it! You go and rest for a while!" Su Ying snatched the basin from her mother's hand.

Mrs. Du did not argue and went back to her room to catch up on her sleep.

Su Ying boiled some water and washed the baby's clothes and diapers.

A big basin of food in one night. It seems that the family needs to hire two servants and a wet nurse, otherwise they will be too busy.
