"Mom, did you add salt to the fish soup today?" Lu Zhixia asked casually.
Cai Wei: "I added a little bit for you, and I think it tastes alright. Just drink it all while it's hot!"
Lu Zhixia took a spoonful of soup and put it in her mouth. Sure enough, the taste was different after adding salt. Her mouth finally had some flavor, so she started to drink it.
Cai Wei: "I'm planning to make some pig's trotter soup, would you like some?"
Lu Zhixia: "Okay! As long as it's not too greasy!"
Cai Wei got off the bed. "Then I'll go out and get ready. You two take good care of the child."
As Lu Zhixia sipped her crucian carp and tofu soup, she realized that her appetite had shrunk considerably recently. She could eat as much as before, and a little bit was enough for her. However, for the sake of her two children, she tried to eat as much as possible.
If they really couldn't finish their food, they gave the bowl to Gu Lingxiao, who then drank the soup in one gulp.
Lu Zhixia got out of bed and started walking around. "I can't stay lying down all the time, or my back will give out."
Gu Lingxiao said, "Why don't you lie down and I'll give you a massage?"
Lu Zhixia waved her hand, "It hasn't come to that point yet."
Gu Lingxiao lowered his head to tease the children, finding it particularly amusing to watch their little eyes darting around.
Lu Zhixia walked around a few times and felt that her body was recovering quite well. She picked up the medicine bottle from the bedside table and took another Chinese medicine pill that her grandfather had specially prepared.
She felt that the medicine was meant to replenish qi and blood, otherwise her body wouldn't have recovered so quickly.
It tasted really bitter, so I quickly stuffed a piece of candy into my mouth to keep myself from crying like a meme.
Then I took a sip of water, and the cool taste completely disappeared into my stomach.
Then, sitting down next to the children, I said, "Have you noticed that the older one is a bit prettier?"
Gu Lingxiao: "Of course I found out."
As soon as he finished speaking, the second child burst into tears, his mouth agape in a very aggrieved manner.
Just as Lu Zhixia was about to hug him, he picked her up first. Watching him skillfully pat the child, the little guy nestled on his shoulder, the scene was incredibly heartwarming.
The eldest brother just stared wide-eyed and looked around, not crying because his younger brother was crying.
Lu Zhixia pinched his little cheek; it was so smooth and soft, so cute.
"Have you noticed? They're all very obedient."
"He's a fairly obedient child and rarely cries." Gu Lingxiao carried his son and walked back and forth on the floor. Gradually, the child calmed down. After circling around a few times, he finally put him on the bed.
“My mom said that my older brother and I were quite well-behaved when we were little, unlike other children. If the two children cried, they would cry together, and if they made a fuss, they would make a fuss together.”
Lu Zhixia couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, "You two are quite interesting."
Gu Lingxiao said, "As we grew up, my personality and my older brother's personality diverged. He was a more communicative person, unlike me. I am a person who doesn't like to talk."
Lu Zhixia realized that he didn't talk much, so she said, "Let's see what kind of personalities these two brothers will have when they grow up."
Gu Lingxiao walked over and kissed her forehead, saying, "Thank you for giving me such a lovely baby."
Lu Zhixia stepped back, "Don't get so close, my hair smells."
Gu Lingxiao, "What does it smell like?"
Lu Zhixia scratched her head. "You know how many days I haven't washed my hair. It's hot now, and I'm covered in sweat after just one night's sleep. I feel like my hair is about to go bad."
Gu Lingxiao pulled the person close and brought his nose to her hair. "I didn't smell anything."
Lu Zhixia was amused by his words, "I know it's a lie, but I like to hear it."
Gu Lingxiao said, "If you can't stand it, I can get you a towel to wipe you down."
Lu Zhixia nodded, "Yes, I want to wipe myself down."
Gu Lingxiao then gently released the person and went outside to get some warm water.
Lu Zhixia was overjoyed that she could finally wipe herself down.
Even though there was a pair of fiery eyes staring at her from behind, she didn't care at all.
Gu Lingxiao felt he needed to take a cold shower again. Luckily, the weather was hot now, otherwise he really couldn't stand it.
After wiping herself down, Lu Zhixia changed into clean clothes. She didn't wash her hair, knowing that she shouldn't wash her hair during postpartum confinement, and she tried her best to get through the 20 days.
Considering the current temperature, she felt that by the time she could wash her hair, it would probably smell almost like a toilet.

night.
Su Lan brought a cleaned black-boned chicken to visit.
"This chicken is good for your health."
Cai Wei looked at the dark-skinned chicken and said, "It's so dark."
Su Lan said, "It's because they're dark-skinned and lay smaller eggs that we rarely raise them here. But these chickens can be used in medicine; it's said they're good for your health."
Cai Wei: "Then how do we do it?"
Su Lan said, "Just boil it into chicken soup, it'll help my sister recover."
Cai Wei thought Su Lan was a really nice person. If it weren't for her help, with so many children in the family, eating would be so chaotic it would make everyone dizzy.
Lu Zhixia came out of the house when she heard the noise. "I have plenty of food here."
Su Lan said, "Women need to replenish their bodies after childbirth, otherwise they won't be able to make up for it later! We can just eat small meals frequently."
Lu Zhixia came to her side and asked, "How's business at the store lately?"
Su Lan: "It seems pretty good so far, but we'll know for sure when the accounts are settled at the end of the month."
Lu Zhixia: "As long as it's good, that's fine. I don't have high requirements. As long as we can make money, that's enough."
Su Lan laughed loudly, "We're not just making money now, we're making a lot of money. By the way, I came here to tell you that your brother-in-law and I are planning to buy a house."
Lu Zhixia: "Have you decided on a house yet? If you're going to buy one, buy a bigger one, since we have a lot of kids. If you don't have enough money, just let me know."
Su Lan said, "We didn't plan to buy a very big house because we will buy another house in the future. When our sons get married, they will each need a house."
