Zhao's complexion was rosy, which was attributed to the good health benefits of the medicinal ingredients in the tonic soup.
She slept well, and her complexion recovered quite well after one night. She was still a little weak, but the main thing is to rest. She will regain her energy in a few days.
"Mother, little sister, thank you. I'm not cold. I just feel a little bloated in my chest. Let me feed Song'er a little bit."
Zhao said somewhat embarrassedly that she ate something first after waking up, and when the baby woke up, Qin took him to change his diaper and feed him water. They didn't rush her to breastfeed, which made Zhao feel sweeter than honey.
Qin smiled and hugged him.
"Song'er, this name is quite nice."
Zhang smiled and said.
“Yu Lin named them. He said the boy would be named Qin Yansong and the girl would be named Qin Zhen.”
Zhao blushed slightly; her son had been born first, and she hoped the next one would be a daughter.
"This name is fine. You two can decide. It's your own child, so you can name it whatever you want, like a kitten or a puppy."
Zhang was even more satisfied after hearing this.
"Mom is just joking. If my eldest brother and sister-in-law really named their children cats and dogs, you and Dad would be the first to jump up and object."
Qin teased Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang smiled sheepishly: "You silly girl, you're teasing your old mother now."
When Zhao was feeding the baby for the first time, Zhang and Qin both turned their heads away. They had already taught her the details, and since there was no rush, they let Zhao figure it out on her own.
Qin Yansong ate his first bite of food, and he was so well-behaved, munching away happily.
He would go to sleep after he finished eating.
Very convenient.
Qin Jin'an was only interested in him for half a day. After discovering that all he did was eat, poop, and sleep, he immediately lost interest in him and took Bai Diandian to play with the village children.
...
Southern border region.
Qin Yulin woke up laughing.
Seeing his constant smile, Liu Sanbu immediately leaned over and asked, "Brother Yulin, what sweet dream were you having? As soon as I woke up, I saw you smiling from ear to ear."
“I had a wonderful dream last night. In my dream, a baby snuggled into my arms and kept calling me ‘Daddy.’”
Qin Yulin and Liu Sanbu talked about their dreams from the previous night, and in doing so, they thought of home.
"Brother Yulin, do you think your wife has given birth?"
After getting to know each other, Liu Sanbu learned that Qin Yulin's wife was pregnant and would give birth in February, and the child was probably already born.
"Possibly."
Qin Yulin felt it was possible, but he couldn't go back and had no way of knowing the exact details.
All he could do was pray that everything would be alright.
"Then let's hurry up and drive these barbarians back, so you can go home and see your children sooner."
Liu Sanbu's eyes were filled with determination; he really wanted to drive these barbarians away as soon as possible.
He also envied Qin Yulin, because Qin Yulin's family was waiting for him to come home, and everything was so good.
"Alright, we're about to go into battle this time. As the vanguard, we'll face more danger, but we've trained for so long, it's time to make our move."
Qin Yulin smiled and looked towards the distant alien army camp, his eyes filled with a chilling intent.
"Alright, let's show those barbarians what we're made of."
Liu Sanbu followed Qin Yulin closely, having already decided that this was the person he wanted to follow, and he would only follow Qin Yulin's lead.
Such scenes are not uncommon in the camp.
No one knows where the new generals will end up, but some outstanding generals already have followers around them.
I heard this is the last battle of the year, and the barbarian army is mobilized.
The soldiers in the southern border region were also sharpening their swords, ready to kill the enemy.
In early March, the bugle call to arms began to sound—
...
Qin Yansong is very well-behaved and often stares at his family members with wide-open eyes.
Every time he saw Qin Jin'an, he would stare at her and smile at her.
Unfortunately, Qin Jin'an didn't think he was as cute as Bai Diandian, as he would only come to see him for a short while each day before running off to play.
Qin Yansong was relieved of worry; Zhang, who took care of him, was not tired, nor was Zhao.
So in early March, Zhang told Qin to go about her business, as she could manage on her own at home.
While Qin was busy with the shop, Qin Tianhai went home.
All the land in the house must be planted.
Qin Jin'an followed along in the fields. She loved farming and felt a sense of honor in helping to sow the seeds.
She was happy just imagining the crops growing and tasting them, especially since she had planted them herself.
The white dots are helping to cover the soil in the field.
This resulted in the following scene.
Qin Tianhai was digging a ditch in front, Qin Jin'an was throwing seeds, and a black dog was covering the soil back up with its two front paws.
People were amazed when they saw it.
Everyone said the Qin family was blessed; even their dog could farm.
"White Dot, you are the smartest dog. Not only can you read, but you can also farm."
During rest periods, Qin Jin'an would always stroke its white-spotted fur and praise it.
The white-spotted creature's tail was practically shaking off.
Qin Tianhai smiled kindly and stroked his beard.
Back home, Qin Tianhai helped wash the diapers, but Qin Jin'an, finding it unpleasant, directed Bai Diandian to help instead.
Bai Diandian was very interested, but Qin Tianhai pushed it away and said seriously, "Diandian, it's human nature for a dog to eat poop, but if you eat it, Yu Bao won't let you sleep in the bed."
Baby poop and pee are a real treat for dogs.
White spots are a natural trait in dogs, but they are intelligent.
As soon as it heard that, it ran away with a "whoosh".
On March 16th, Zhao's confinement period ended.
The full moon celebration was very lively, with everyone in the village coming to eat, drink, and see the baby.
Many women surrounded Zhao, their expressions filled with envy.
"Xiaolan, you're so lucky. Your mother-in-law is really good. Everyone's saying that the better you treat your daughter-in-law, the more prosperous your family will be. Even those men in our village who used to beat their wives have stopped doing so. It's all thanks to your family."
A woman smiled and said to Zhao.
"Yes, yes, my mother-in-law doesn't hit me, but the way she treats me before is different from now. She's good to me, and I'll definitely remember it. I'll be willing to serve her in the future."
"That's right. Our hearts aren't made of stone. She treats me like her own daughter, so I'll definitely treat her like my own mother. When our hearts are close, our lives will surely get better and better."
As they talked, everyone began to sigh with admiration.
Madam Zhao smiled gently, feeling that this was quite nice.
After talking about the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they talked about the children, praising Zhao's children for being worry-free and sensible, and saying they had come to repay a debt of gratitude.
The full moon celebration was over in a lively and joyous manner.
Zhao thought that once she was out of confinement, she wouldn't have to rest indoors every day.
But Zhang still slept with her.
"Mom, I'm all better now, and I can help with chores around the house."
Zhao wanted to be good to her family and help them as much as possible so that her children wouldn't have to worry. However, there were many things to do at home, and Zhang was never relaxed.
“No rush. Our family can afford it now. You can have a double postpartum period. After April, when the weather gets warmer, you can help with the chores. You'll have plenty to do then. Just listen to your mother for now,” Zhang said with a smile. She understood the hardships women faced best. Zhao’s parents had passed away early, and she had fallen out with her aunt’s family. Zhao was now like her daughter, and she couldn’t be more willing to give Zhao more care.
