Yun Ningyan smiled and said, "Auntie, I use my own homemade face cream every day."
"Have you used yours?"
“You can’t be stingy. Once you’ve used it all, have Huo Junshan send it to you.”
Zhang Guihua's face showed even more wrinkles when she smiled.
"Ningning is really amazing. She can even do face touching, and the effect is excellent."
"Look at me, ever since I used Ningning's face cream, all the freckles on my face have disappeared."
"Ha ha ha ha......"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Lin Mengmeng, Zhang Qiang, and Liang Weiwei then left.
They were worried that Yun Ningyan would get tired from talking too much.
After they left, the brigade leader and Zhang Guihua also left.
Li Xiangyun said, "Ningning, you've talked for so long, go lie down on the bed and rest!"
Wen Yingqiu helped her to the bedroom.
Li Xiangyun: "Then I'll go to the kitchen and prepare the goose and ribs. We'll stew them for dinner tonight."
"You all should take a break!"
She then went to the kitchen.
Huo Junshan also went to help.
Wen Yingqiu stayed with Ningning, watching her lie down, close her eyes, and fall asleep soon after.
Wen Yingqiu sighed, sat down next to her daughter, and half-reclined.
Ningning has worked so hard!
I must take good care of myself after giving birth!
Having two children at once must have taken a toll on your body.
I don't know how much I need to eat to make up for it.
Yun Qinzhi also went to the west room to rest for a while.
Li Xiangyun, Huo Changgen, and Huo Junshan were busy in the kitchen.
She didn't know where the third brother got the goose and the large piece of pork rib.
"Old man, the water's boiled. Go and pluck the goose's feathers!"
Huo Changgen took the goose out into the yard.
Huo Junshan placed a basin of hot water at his feet.
"Throw this goose feather further away later, don't throw it in the yard."
After saying this casually, Huo Junshan turned around and went to the kitchen to chop ribs.
Huo Changgen!
Only his third son dared to boss him around.
He kept his head down and worked hard.
Huo Junshan chopped the ribs into small pieces.
Then blanch them in boiling water. Once the goose has been plucked of its feathers, blanch it in boiling water.
After blanching the goose, we started preparing the side dishes.
Dried green beans, hazel mushrooms, frozen tofu, and also cabbage and potatoes.
Soak the dried green beans and hazel mushrooms in hot water.
That means the preparations are complete.
"Mom, everything's ready. It's still early, we can start cooking later."
"Let's take a break!"
Li Xiangyun and Huo Changgen went back to the front to rest, and they would come back to help with the cooking later.
Huo Junshan tiptoed into the living room; both bedrooms were quiet.
He quietly found a chair, sat down, closed his eyes, and pretended to doze off.
Yun Ningyan slept for another hour or so.
She woke up because she needed to urinate.
In the later stages of her pregnancy, she experienced frequent urination every day, and had to get up several times in the middle of the night!
The moment she moved, Wen Yingqiu woke up.
"Ningning, what's wrong?"
"I need to use the restroom."
Wen Yingqiu helped her sit up and bent down to put her shoes on.
"Let's go! I'll help you go."
Their toilet is outside, so they usually relieve themselves in the open.
The toilet is usually just for show.
But now she has to go to the toilet with her mother.
Huo Junshan was a little worried, so he followed and said, "Mom, let me help her! I'm strong."
Wen Yingqiu nodded: "Okay, be careful."
"It's the dead of winter, and we still have to go to the toilet in the yard. It must be so cold."
After Huo Junshan helped Yun Ningyan back, he made her a cup of malted milk powder.
"Have a couple of sips to warm yourself up, or maybe you should go back to bed?"
Yun Ningyan shook her head, refusing to lie down anymore, as her back was aching from lying down.
"Then let me give you a massage."
night.
Li Xiangyun went back to rest for a while in the afternoon and then came back.
Huo Changgen came back with her and helped start the fire.
Huo Junshan assisted, while Li Xiangyun was in charge of cooking.
First, braise the pork ribs and goose together. Then, add hot water, seasonings, and side dishes, and simmer over high heat.
When it was almost cooked, Li Xiangyun cut a circle of corn cakes around the edge of the pot.
There was a whole pot of meat and vegetables, which was more than enough for the group of them.
When the meal was almost ready, Huo Jianshe also came over.
"Uncle Yun, Auntie!"
The first thing he did upon arrival was to greet Yun Qinzhi and Wen Yingqiu.
Wen Yingqiu smiled and said, "You're here. Have a seat. It'll be time to eat soon."
Huo Jianshe smiled and said, "I originally wanted to come earlier, but my mother said I talk too much and told me to come over when it's time to eat, not to come so early!"
Yun Ningyan smiled and said, "Since you're here, please help set the table and chairs. Let's eat!"
Huo Jianshe helped set up the tables and chairs.
Huo Junshan then brought over the stewed meat.
A whole big bowl of meat.
The pancakes were placed in a small bowl.
"Come on, come and eat! There's more in the pot if you're not full."
Several people sat in a circle.
Wen Yingqiu ate a piece of pork rib and praised, "Sister-in-law, your cooking is really delicious, even better than what you can find outside."
Li Xiangyun waved her hand: "How can my work compare to what you get outside? I just do it haphazardly."
Wen Yingqiu laughed and said, "I usually just cook whatever I want at home. Sometimes I don't even want to eat what I make. I'm really not good at cooking."
"But my husband, Lao Yun, can cook. It's just that he's too busy with work and doesn't have time to come home and cook."
