"You stay home and rest. I'll go. After I get to know them well over the next day or two, I'll take care of them."
Huang Duoer couldn't persuade her sister-in-law and had to stay at home to look after the baby. It was the first time she was so idle. Not only did she not enjoy it, she felt uneasy, as if she was being lazy.
"Wanjin, Meiyin, let's go." After harnessing the donkey cart, Qiu Yuling finally had time to take care of her old friend.
Wan Jin couldn't wait any longer and even ate the chicken bones at noon absentmindedly. But when he heard the call, he excitedly circled around Qiu Yuling and kept crying.
A donkey and two dogs followed Qiu Yuling all the way to Chaigang.
Qiu Yuling did little but cheated a lot, and even found time to improve the meals for a few people who couldn't speak human language.
Wanjin felt that he didn’t eat well at noon and his stomach was empty.
Qiu Yuling stroked the dog's head and said, "Sister Kaixue will take you with her."
Wan Jin seemed to understand and turned around in circles while howling.
Bank of America acted like a dog that had nothing to do. He glanced at his bitch and continued eating.
However, the donkey's ears were shaking, as if it wanted to change its owner.
No matter how much you say you love it, it is not true love. Only when you are willing to feed it food can it be considered true love.
"Hey guys, have you eaten yet? If you're full, let's go back. The car can't hold any more."
Hearing the knock on the door, Huang Duoer ran over to open the door without putting down the third child in her arms. "Oh my God, you are so capable. You have such a big car?"
Qiu Yuling said that they all did the work when there was no time, and she only did this one thing, so it was normal for her to shovel more.
Huang Duoer now really felt that her sister-in-law was worthy of being her mother-in-law's child. She was as skillful as her mother-in-law when doing things.
As her sister-in-law, she immediately asked Qiu Yuling to take a rest, saying that she had to cook the afternoon meal herself.
Qiu Yuling did not fight for it this time, but she arranged the dishes. The staple food was noodles with braised meat. She picked the wild vegetables she had tied up separately, blanched them and mixed them with sesame oil. She put the peppercorns in the cupboard at noon.
Huang Duoer nodded in agreement.
"Red beans come first, laugh! Oh, right, good baby, orange beans come too, yes, yes, the gums are all leaking out, great! Yellow beans..."
Huang Duoer glanced at her sister-in-law distractedly, and she was also good at taking care of children.
My mother-in-law can only hum a little tune about being chased by wolves and being chased by dogs. She also hums a few lines randomly, or imitates a little baby's "ah ah oh oh" and shouts a few lines. She has never talked to them like my sister-in-law does.
"Are you hungry? It's just right for you to drink." The goat's milk had been cooked and cooled in advance. At this moment, without waiting for the three brothers to blow the charge, Qiu Yuling put a bottle of milk in each of their hands, and helped to hold on if anyone couldn't hold the baby steadily.
The three brothers rolled their eyes and were extremely satisfied with the new breeder.
"People who can read can do anything, right?" Huang Duoer rubbed the dough off her hands, let the dough wake up first, and came over to watch the three brothers drink milk.
"That's not necessarily true. It depends on the person. There is definitely no one in my family who can do it better than me, haha~" Qiu Yuling saw that her sister-in-law seemed to be always polite to her, so she deliberately acted arrogantly.
Huang Duoer smiled and said, "That's true." For a moment, she felt that her sister-in-law was not a star in the sky, and she had her own advantages.
"Well, I want to wean them off so they don't have to work in the fields. Then I can take turns with my parents and I to look after them, so that everyone can have some time to rest."
"It's only been seven months, right?"
"Well, it's been seven months. Recently, the milk has been getting less and less. It's okay to feed one, but I really can't keep up with three." I felt a little embarrassed to say this to my sister-in-law.
However, Qiu Yuling understood clearly that the food supply had been reduced after the confinement period. In addition, Qiu's mother was used to being frugal, so even if there was food, she would not eat it to her heart's content.
In addition, there are only two meals a day on time, and there are no snacks or anything. I feel weak and it would be a wonder if I can keep up with the baby.
Qiu Yuling didn't say whether it was good or bad. This was her and this family's life, and she had to deal with it herself. No one else could say anything.
Otherwise, she would have to carry all the dust on her back, and then she would blame her sister-in-law for taking charge of her household and being the boss.
"You should discuss this with mother, or decide it yourself. I don't understand it yet."
"That's right." Huang Duoer laughed. Her sister-in-law has grown taller this year, but she is still a child. She is capable, but she doesn't know everything.
"I'm going to rinse the bottles. You can lie down for a while if you're sleepy." The kang mat under the grape trellis was quite large. The three little brothers couldn't crawl properly yet, so they didn't need to be watched all the time.
Qiu Yuling actually lay down on the side, sleeping with her hands under her head.
She didn't know exactly when she fell asleep, but suddenly she felt it was raining. She woke up suddenly, but it turned out that they were not raindrops, but Qiu Wencheng's drool.
Her sudden move almost knocked Xiaodouzi over. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and held onto the child with her hands, preventing the child's head from hitting the ground.
"Why are you chewing everything? Did you leave teeth marks on your aunt's nose?" She got up and went into the house to take out a small mirror. Sure enough, there were two teeth on the bridge of her nose.
"Little Stinky Orange Bean, if I get disfigured, I'll definitely find you a wife with a pockmarked face."
"Let me see if the skin is broken?" Huang Duoer had just gone to the backyard to feed the livestock, and when she came back she heard what her sister-in-law said.
"It's okay, his tooth has just come out, how could it break the skin? I'm just playing with the child."
Touching the small printed words, she thought that the three brothers were teething and grinding their teeth, so she should get some teething sticks or something for them.
If you don't have an oven, you can use a tandoor to bake chewy sticks with the same effect. However, the tandoor is too big, and it's not worth burning up the tandoor to give them the few rations they need.
After thinking about it, she decided to build a small tandoor, which could not only be used to bake teething sticks for the children, but also to make soluble beans and other things.
However, the iron bars used as the keel and to support the baking tray are not available for the time being, so I can only wait until I go to the county in the next few days to get them back.
"Sister-in-law, they keep yawning. Isn't it time for them to go to bed?"
Huang Duoer looked at the sky and estimated the time. It was almost time.
The aunt and sister-in-law worked together to take care of the baby's poop and piss and feed him milk. After all this time, the three brothers fell into a deep sleep like three little pigs.
"Today is my most relaxing day. They didn't make much noise all day." After tucking in the quilt, the two of them moved out and sat under the eaves. Huang Duoer looked very comfortable.
"Raising a child is no easy task. If you raise them well, even a single tree can stand out in the forest. If you don't, even if you have more children, they will just be a burden and decoration."
It was still too early for family planning. To be honest, Qiu Yuling did not like the responsibilities of women at that time. It seemed that giving birth to children endlessly was the only way to contribute to society.
Look at every dynasty and generation. Aren't the top talents the ones who were born and raised with good fortune? Great leaders have good conditions, but how many of them did the Communist Party of China have?
The poorer they are, the more children they have, and the more children they have, the poorer they become. Occasionally, a promising child comes out, and the whole family has to bring him along to show their gratitude.
