"It's only been a month."
She did suffer significant health problems from giving birth to twins, but her body has recovered considerably after five years of rest.
Perhaps it's also because Chen Suwen has been using medicinal cooking techniques in her meals recently, which has had a nourishing effect on her body, leading to her successful pregnancy with her second child.
"Congratulations, sister-in-law! Today is truly a double celebration." Li Yulan said, her voice full of envy.
She also wants a second child, to give her son a younger brother or sister to keep him company.
I wish I could have twins like my sister-in-law.
“Third sister-in-law, you didn’t harm your body when you gave birth to Acong. You should have recovered quite a bit after two years of rest, right? Try a little harder, and maybe you’ll get pregnant again,” Xu Huixue advised Li Yulan.
"I know, it's because Cunming is always out driving and rarely comes back, so I can't get pregnant even if I want to, right?"
“He’s been staying home lately, and I’m trying my best to help him.”
As the married women chatted, the topics gradually became somewhat inappropriate for children.
Fortunately, they only spoke up because they saw Zhou Xian take his younger siblings out to play, and there were only two newborn babies in the house who didn't understand anything.
The three women were talking about some topics that were not suitable for children, and gradually they started talking about their respective families and their mothers-in-law.
On the other side, Chen Suwen directed her son to roast mutton, and when it was almost done, she called people over to eat.
Just give the children one or two skewers of roasted lamb, no more. Of course, they can eat as much braised pig's trotters as they want.
Chen Suwen also prepared a soup made with centella asiatica, which is good for reducing internal heat, and stir-fried cauliflower is also good for reducing internal heat.

Eating so many lamb skewers, along with pig's feet with ginger and braised pig's trotters, is bound to cause some internal heat. You should drink more soup to reduce the heat.
"This gourd root is so tender! Where did Aunt Chen buy it?" Zhang Dazhuang asked in surprise as he drank the gourd root soup.
He liked the refreshing taste of Centella asiatica, but since they lived in the city, they rarely found places to dig it up, and sometimes they missed the chance to buy it from others.
Only when family members have nothing else to do will they take a car to the suburbs or other places to search for and dig up Centella asiatica.
However, such tender centella asiatica roots are relatively hard to find.
"They grew naturally in my yard, I didn't buy them," Chen Suwen said proudly.
After discovering that centella asiatica had grown in her vegetable garden, she excitedly used her wood-type ability to accelerate its growth, instantly producing enough for one or two meals.
Of course, she didn't dig up all the centella asiatica roots; she left some to grow there so she could dig them up and eat them next time.
She cooked this centella asiatica in the broth of boiled chicken. The deliciousness of the chicken broth combined with the sweetness of the centella asiatica was a perfect match.
"Your vegetable garden even grows centella asiatica? That's so nice." Zhang Dazhuang said with some envy. "I'm still envious of Uncle Zhou and Aunt Chen's family, having your own yard to grow vegetables."
Whether it's Zhang Dazhuang's family or Zhang Daqiang's family, they both live in tenement buildings, where there's no place to grow vegetables.
If you want to eat vegetables, you have to buy them. Sometimes you can grow your own in a flowerpot, but that's only enough for one or two meals and can't meet your needs all year round.
But they are not too willing to live in bungalows; they still prefer to live in apartment buildings.
