Yun Huaying gently placed the child on the bed, covered Lebao with a blanket, and asked her for help: "Sister-in-law, I'm going to Jing County in a few days. We've decided to move the graves and bring Grandpa and Mom's ashes back to Kyoto for burial. Taotao is too young to be brought there. Could you please help me feed him for three or four days?"
"Sure, I have enough milk to feed two children. If it's not enough, let Lebao drink milk powder. He prefers milk powder anyway." Long Wei agreed without hesitation.
Han Xiao had already followed in and said, "Huaying, let Wei Zi feed Taotao tonight and see if he drinks it."
"Yes, try it once. If he drinks my milk, you can go to Jing County to do your business with peace of mind."
"Okay." Yun Huaying smiled and replied, "I'll cook tonight. What would you like to eat?"
Speaking of food, Long Wei pleaded, "Huaying, I want to eat hot pot."
She had only been eating confinement meals for seven days, and she was really fed up with the food without oil or salt. Now she wanted to vomit when she saw the stewed pig's trotters.
Yun Huaying was an experienced person and could understand. She smiled and said, "Forget about hot pot. I'll make you something non-soggy tonight so you can try something fresh."
"OK."
Long Wei was looking forward to tonight's meal.
There are many people eating at home recently, so they have prepared a lot of grains, meat and vegetables. They went to the state-owned supermarket and bought some pork, fish and shrimp. Yun Huaying will cook tonight and Han Zheng will help prepare dinner.
Everyone in the family loves pancakes. Yun Huaying fried a large basket full of pancakes tonight and asked Han Xiao to give two low-salt pancakes to Long Wei to fill his stomach first.
Although the pancake had only a hint of salt, Long Wei ate it with gusto, asking as he ate, "What else did Huaying make for me?"
"Steamed egg with meat patties, boiled shrimp, steamed spareribs with chestnuts, steamed pumpkin with candied dates, stir-fried shredded lettuce, and I think I made a dessert for you, which is also steaming in the steamer."
"Hey, this is what postpartum food is."
Long Wei, feeling his appetite was already whetted, urged him, "Go and learn quickly. Learn more so I can improve my life."
Han Xiao chuckled: "I have already learned these dishes. If she makes new dishes tomorrow, I will learn from her and cook them for you later."
The postpartum meals prepared by Yun Huaying are varied, but they are actually very simple. They are all steamed dishes and simple stir-fries or boiled dishes. These are not difficult to learn and he can learn them at a glance.
She had steamed dishes, while the others had heavy-flavored dishes.
The three or four pounds of shrimps bought from the department store were all made into braised shrimps, and the spare ribs were made into Han Zheng's favorite garlic spare ribs, filling two large bowls. There was also the bacon given by Lin Shan's mother, which was mixed with the dried radish dried by grandma and stir-fried with chili peppers, and two bowls of scrambled eggs with pickles to go with the rice, two bowls of stir-fried lettuce, and two bowls of braised tofu. It was a simple meal.
All the men in the family, young and old, are big eaters. Each of them has an average of two bowls of rice. Pancakes are not considered a staple food for them, but only a dish. They are all gone in less than ten minutes after the meal starts.
When Long Gan pushed the door open carrying the thermos, he saw that only the elders were sitting and eating, while everyone else was standing. His sister, however, had a separate seat with four or five bowls in front of her. He smiled and said, "Weizi, you have a good meal. You eat four or five dishes in one meal."
"Of course."
Long Wei doesn't eat in the bedroom. She eats three meals a day in the living room and is happily enjoying her sumptuous confinement meals.
Long Gan first went to greet the elders of the Han family. He saw that there were many bowls on the table, but the dishes had been almost finished. Everyone was still eating pancakes. He saw that there were still pancakes in the winnowing basket, fried until golden and crispy. He also felt hungry, so he grabbed the chopsticks from Jiao Junming next to him, picked up a pancake and stuffed it into his mouth.
"hehe..."
Seeing her brother also trying to grab food, Long Wei laughed happily and reminded him: "Brother, you are here to bring me food, not to eat for free."
Her parents' home is nearby and her elders love her so much that they stew soup for her every night. She eats at least four meals a day and eats the soup sent by her parents' home as a midnight snack.
Long Gan was eating with gusto. While chewing, he asked, "The pancakes are delicious today. Who made them?"
"It's made by Hanajacar."
Long Wei pointed at the dish in front of him and told him with a smile: "The dishes I had tonight were also made by Huaying. They were all steamed and tasted pretty good."
"Eat more if you like."
Long Gan brought her dumplings tonight. His grandmother had made them at home that afternoon. He poured them into her bowl and said, "Eat them while they're hot. Grandma said she'd fry you some lion's head dumplings tomorrow."
When Long Wei heard about the lion's head, his eyes lit up: "Brother, please send it over earlier. Give me two more. Brother Xiao also wants to eat it."
"Wait until a full month has passed, then you can join the army."
Long Gan wanted to "send her away" immediately. He couldn't stand this sister who "specially cheated her parents" and was too lazy to talk to her. He was in a hurry to go back for dinner. He said goodbye to the elders of the Han family and went back with the thermos bucket.
Long Wei had a big appetite tonight and ate all the food. After finishing his meal, he lay on the sofa with a very satisfied look on his face: "Huaying, I heard that you made dessert and it's still warming on the stove. I'm so full that I can't eat anymore."
"I made double-skin milk, you really don't want to eat it?" Yun Huaying looked at her with a smile.
"eat!"
This was Long Wei's favorite. He immediately stood up from the sofa and began to walk back and forth in the room. "Let me digest it. I'll have two more bowls later."
Han Xiao collected her dishes and saw that she was walking with big strides. He reminded her helplessly, "Wei Zi, please walk slower."
"oh."
Long Wei retracted two-thirds of the foot she had just stepped out, and moved slowly around the room, imitating the lotus steps of ancient ladies.
"Pfft." Han Xiao was the first one to be amused by her funny actions.
Everyone else laughed too. Long Wei was a lively and cheerful girl. With her at home, there was constant joy in every day.
Not long after, Taotao woke up and started crying as soon as he opened his eyes. Yun Huaying immediately went back to the room, picked him up, changed his diaper, and brought him to Long Wei to feed him.
Long Wei carried Taotao back to the room to feed him. Maybe it was because of the different smell on her body, he refused to drink at first, but Long Wei had plenty of ways to make him drink. After taking two sips, he probably thought it tasted good, so he ate obediently.
Seeing him drinking, Yun Huaying felt relieved. She settled her son down and was no longer worried about returning to Jing County for three or four days.
Taotao is not shy. After eating and drinking, he doesn’t necessarily need to be held by his parents. Anyone else in the family can hold him. As long as they play with him, he will dance and jump happily.
Han Lin returned to Kyoto to take the college entrance examination. Now that she has some free time, she took the initiative to help take care of her nephews. She took turns holding Taotao and Lebao, and helped wash their diapers and clothes, which made her brothers and sisters-in-law's work a lot easier.
