Zhen Wanwan looked around and saw that only Wang Cuihua was busy cooking breakfast. She asked in confusion, "Sister-in-law, where are Mother and Huzi?"
"Ah, they went to fight monsters early, and Mother went to the Zhou family to help."
Monster?
Zhen Wanwan's lips twitched slightly, feeling helpless towards these wild children. They were probably bringing the Ultraman stories she told them into real life.
She didn't say much about it and quietly went about her own business.
She placed the two babies in a row and began tidying up the children's supplies. First, she took off the diapers from the two babies, which were diapers that Grandma Li had torn apart from a few pieces of cloth. She then put the disposable diapers that she had taken out of her space back on the two babies.
The two little babies comfortably lifted their toes, blinked their big eyes and looked up at the ceiling, seemingly thinking about something, which Zhen Wanwan was completely unaware of.
She was sterilizing the bottles in boiling water, preparing to use them to make formula for them later. Last night, she hadn't had time to sterilize the bottles, so she had them make the formula in a large bowl first.
After a while, she touched the boiling water and watched it cool down. She then washed the bottles clean before opening the milk powder cans and scooping two spoonfuls into each of the two bottles.
The aroma of milk instantly fills your nostrils; it's sweet and delicious, and just smelling it makes you feel sweet.
"What is this smell? It's so sweet!" Siqin helped Madam Fang come over from next door. As soon as they entered the Zhen family's cave, they smelled a milky fragrance.
Zhen Wanwan exclaimed in surprise, "Madam Fang, Siqin, what brings you here?"
Upon seeing the two people before her, Zhen Wanwan was once again amazed by Madam Fang's beauty. She walked in gracefully with her pregnant belly, every movement exuding elegance.
Siqin stayed close to her, carefully supporting her.
Zhen Wanwan quickly tidied up the things on the table, sat down to greet them, and Madam Fang gently took her hand and invited her to sit down on the stool as well.
She said, "Don't bother with anything else. You just gave birth, and your body is still weak. You should rest more..."
Siqin chimed in from the side, "This servant doesn't think Lady Zhen looks like she just gave birth at all. Her belly has shrunk, but nothing else has changed!"
Looking at her flat stomach, Zhen Wanwan was filled with emotion. The pill was truly effective; it not only relieved the pain but also helped her recover very quickly.
She felt like she didn't need to go through postpartum confinement anymore, and even felt that her body was better than before!
"Miss Siqin has such good eyesight. Many people in our village have to go back to work in the fields right after giving birth..."
Siqin understood this. When she was a child, her family was poor. When she was three or four years old, she worked in the fields with her parents. Her mother went to work in the fields right after giving birth to her younger brother. Because there wasn't enough food for the whole family, her parents sold her to the Fang family.
However, this misfortune turned into a blessing, as he was unintentionally rescued by Madam Fang and from then on stayed by her side. He no longer had to rely on the weather for his livelihood or worry about marrying the wrong person and ruining his life.
Madam Fang, who had grown up in luxury, had a completely different mindset from them. When she heard Zhen Wanwan's words, she was shocked. This woman was inherently weak, and childbirth was like going through the gates of hell.
Rural women have to go back to work in the fields right after giving birth; these men are truly useless!
If Zhen Wanwan heard these words, she would definitely cry out with tears in her eyes, "What a kindred spirit!"
"Hmm... Waaah..."
The baby boy on the bed gave two perfunctory hums, as if to tell Zhen Wanwan that he was hungry!
Zhen Wanwan got up and picked up the little one. She gently tapped his nose and said with a helpless smile, "You little rascal, you can't wait even a moment longer to nurse!"
Siqin curiously leaned closer to look at the doll: "This is so small! It's the same size as the puppy that Granny Wu keeps."
"How dare you be so rude!" Madam Fang was displeased with Siqin's unrestrained speech. She glared at Siqin reproachfully and said, "I've really spoiled you. Hurry up and apologize to Madam Zhen."
Although Zhen Wanwan was unhappy that her son was compared to a puppy, she didn't say much because the person had come to visit her out of kindness.
"I'm sorry, Madam Zhen, I spoke recklessly. Please forgive me." Siqin felt wronged after being reprimanded by Madam Fang, but she still sincerely apologized to Zhen Wanwan.
Seeing this, Zhen Wanwan generously forgave him.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward, and Zhen Wanwan had no choice but to feed the baby formula first. Mrs. Fang was quite surprised to see Zhen Wanwan feeding the baby with a bottle.
"Madam Zhen, this bottle is quite rare. I wonder where you bought it?"
Mrs. Fang noticed the baby bottle as soon as she entered the room, but due to her good upbringing, she didn't dare to ask directly. Now that she had the chance, she certainly wouldn't let it go.
"Oh, I bought this from a traveling merchant by chance in my hometown. It's perfect for breastfeeding my baby." Zhen Wanwan naturally couldn't tell the truth, so she just made up a story.
After listening to Zhen Wanwan's explanation, Mrs. Fang looked at her baby bottle with regret: "What a pity, I was thinking of buying a few to keep on hand."
Just as Zhen Wanwan finished feeding one baby and was about to switch to another, she paused, realizing she had a bold idea but didn't know if it was feasible.
However, this matter needs to be considered in the long term. She felt that she should first understand the market and see what the demand was like.
“If Madam wants this baby bottle, I have an extra one here, and I can give it to you.”
Mrs. Fang hesitated. She knew that Zhen Wanwan's family was not well-off, and she would feel guilty taking things for free. However, she really liked the baby bottle.
After thinking for a moment, she decided to accept it: "To be honest, I really love this bottle. If you, Madam Zhen, are willing to part with it, I will be extremely grateful."
Zhen Wanwan had been observing her micro-expressions and naturally knew that she genuinely wanted the baby bottle. Feeling somewhat relieved, she also made new plans for the future.
It's said that women's money is the easiest to earn, and in her opinion, the money of stay-at-home moms who are both rich and have plenty of free time is even easier to earn.
She had been thinking about how to make a fortune after fleeing the famine, and now the answer was right there, so she was no longer worried.
Since she can't use up all the stuff in the supermarket anyway, she'll just open a maternity and baby store and make it a big success.
Zhen Wanwan happily fantasized that she could lie down with her eyes closed and loads of silver notes would roll over to her.
What a wonderful future this is!
Her lips curled into a wide smile, as if she had become the richest man in China and was highly regarded by the noble ladies.
The little one in her mother's arms stared longingly at the bottle in her mother's hand. Her twin brother had already finished his bottle and was now lying on the bed in a daze, feeling quite content. But she waited for a long time and her mother still hadn't fed her.
She looked at her mother, who was hugging her and grinning foolishly, and didn't know whether she should remind her or not. She was afraid of upsetting her, so she was caught in a dilemma. But her stomach kept rumbling, and she couldn't help but let out a few soft hums.
"Hmm... Hmm..."
"Oh dear, my sweet baby is hungry. It's your fault for neglecting you." Zhen Wanwan's beautiful fantasy was interrupted by the little one in her arms.
The boy, who had already eaten and drunk his fill and was lying in bed counting stars, fell silent when he heard his mother's affectionate tone towards his younger sister.
Why is Mother still discriminating against me?
