I will never let my daughters-in-law suffer the same hardships I have suffered.
She is a mother herself and knows how difficult it is to be a mother.
Ever since she found out that her daughter-in-law was pregnant with twins, Huo's mother started saving up milk powder tickets.
One reason is that I am worried that my daughter-in-law doesn’t have enough milk.
Secondly, I felt sorry for her having to feed two children at once.
Breastfeeding is indeed more convenient, but the baby needs to drink milk every two or three hours.
Half an hour passed by the time I finished feeding the two children.
If the baby is more noisy during the confinement period, I am afraid I won’t be able to get a full night’s sleep.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Huo opened the last package of luggage.
"Sisi, Mommy has prepared some milk powder. You can breastfeed the baby if you want to today, and feed the baby with milk powder at night."
Fearing that she would be worried about the children's nutrition, Mother Huo added, "Your second sister-in-law went through the same thing back then. Look at how well Jing Qian and Jing Yu are doing. They're no worse off than those who were breastfed."
"Listen to me, mom. You will be responsible for taking good care of your body during the confinement period. The baby will sleep with me when the time comes. It's better for you to take good care of your body than anything else."
Hearing every word of concern from Mother Huo, Jiang Si felt a sudden pang of pain in her nose.
In fact, when she first learned that she had to observe a double confinement period, she was very resistant.
She knew that the elders were all doing this for her.
She was not allowed to wash her hair or take a bath for 60 days, and she couldn't brush her teeth. This was something she really couldn't accept.
Jiang Si had already made up her mind and was ready to find time to have a chat with them.
Unexpectedly, my mother-in-law had already thought of all these in advance.
What she didn't expect was that her mother-in-law would take the initiative to feed the baby milk powder so that she could eat more hot meals and sleep more soundly.
How could she not love such a naughty mother-in-law!
Holding Mother Huo's hand, Jiang Si expressed gratitude, "Thank you, Mom."
"Silly child, we are all family, why are you saying thank you?"
Mrs. Huo patted her hands and took out a wooden box from her bag.
"This is a longevity lock and a silver bracelet for the child. Take them."
Although the whole country is currently destroying the four olds, many traditional customs left by the older generation are still continued.
As long as you don't wear it in public, most people won't say anything if they see it.
This was the elders' good wishes for the children, and Jiang Si did not refuse. She thanked them and accepted it for the two children.
However, she confiscated the passbook that Mrs. Huo handed over to her at the end.
"Mom, we have a lot of money left, enough for us."
Huo's mother knew that she was rich and didn't need the money, and that was not the way to do things.
"Every child in the family has a baby. Your father and I have given it to you. We can't break this rule."
After saying that, Mother Huo patted her hands and said, "Your father and I are in Beijing, so we can't usually take care of you. This is a small token of our gratitude as grandparents. Please don't refuse it."
Having said that, Jiang Si had no choice but to take the passbook.
Everything that should be given was given, and Mother Huo looked relieved.
The two continued chatting about the topic of children for a while until Huo Tingzhou reminded them.
"Mom, it's getting late. Sisi should go to bed."
My wife usually goes to bed around 8:30, and it's almost 9 o'clock now.
As he spoke, Huo Tingzhou tidied up the things on the bed.
Then, he took out mats and pillows from the cabinet with ease.
Seeing that Mrs. Huo was still a little reluctant, Jiang Si said, "It's okay. I took a two-hour nap at noon and I'm not sleepy at all now. Mom, let's continue."
"No, no." Mother Huo was worried that it would disturb her rest, so she waved her hand quickly, "It's the same if we talk tomorrow."
