With so many people in the room, including unmarried girls and unmarried boys, Cai Xiaolian and Madam Yang naturally didn't discuss this issue.
Gu Nian personally cooked several simple dishes for the three of them, and Gu Xin even used diluted jade bead water so that the New Year's Eve dinner could continue.
After the meal, Uncle Gu dragged his brothers and Lu Zheng and the other boys into drinking. In short, he said that they had to get him drunk and he wasn't allowed to leave until he was drunk.
Grandma Gu was speechless. Last time you found out your wife wasn't pregnant, you breathed a sigh of relief and said you wouldn't leave until you were drunk. Now that you know your wife is pregnant, you still want to drink until you're drunk. You're such a grown man, how come you're not mature at all?
So that night, Grandma Gu stopped glaring at Gu Shouxin and Uncle Gu. She let them get drunk, hoping they wouldn't want to drink for the next few years. What a nuisance!
Grandpa Gu and Yang's father were also happy and drank a few cups together. Then the two old men got off the table and sat down by the fire to chat.
Grandma Gu called her three daughters-in-law aside and sat them with Grandma Xiao around a brazier, where they started talking about breastfeeding.
Grandma Xiao meant that there was no need to find a wet nurse, since Kuncheng was close to both the Yun Kingdom and the Shashen Kingdom. They could go and buy cattle and sheep to give Xiaoqi and Xiaoba cow and sheep milk.
Grandma Xiao meant that her own milk was only good for the first six months, and after that it was similar to drinking cow's milk or goat's milk, so she took this opportunity to wean her off the milk.
Gu Xiaoqi was born in early April and has been breastfed for eight months. She can be fed cow's milk and goat's milk for a few more months and then gradually start eating solid food. Gu Xiaoba was born in early July and has only been breastfed for a little over five months. There's nothing that can be done in this situation; he has to be weaned.
Zhang also shared her experience, saying that she became pregnant with Sisi while breastfeeding Enzi, so she stopped breastfeeding Enzi and asked a woman from the same village to help breastfeed for two months. When Enzi was almost nine months old, she started eating rice porridge and gradually began to eat soft white rice.
What could Cai Xiaolian and Yang Shi do but accept it? They couldn't just say they didn't want the baby in her belly!
Grandma Xiao gave the three of them some precautions, especially Zhang and Cai Xiaolian, because they were both getting on in years and it would be difficult for them to conceive again after this pregnancy, so they had to take good care of their health.
The three of them obediently wrote it down.
After Grandma Xiao finished speaking, Grandma Gu brought up the summary and planning that everyone had made the night before. She felt sorry for her daughters-in-law, so she didn't let them work while pregnant and told them to stay home and take good care of themselves.
But all three daughters-in-law have their own things to do. They are taking care of their pregnancies and not working. So someone has to take over their responsibilities. The men in the family all have their own things to do, so who will take over?
So, the granddaughters came in handy.
Grandma Gu called over the three Gu sisters and Huo Yanyu. Once the children sat down, there was no more room for anyone else around the brazier.
Grandma Gu explained the matter to the group, and they were naturally willing to take it on. However, who would take over whose responsibility was still up for discussion.
Grandma Gu meant that over the past year, this girl had formed two teams, and there was no need to disrupt them in the following year. Gu Nian and Huo Yanyu would continue to be in one team, and Gu Xin and Gu Si would continue to be in another.
Gu Nian and Huo Yanyu took over the furniture store from the Yang family and helped train the manager, as well as the embroidery workshop managed by the Zhang family.
Gu Xin and Gu Si accepted Cai Xiaolian's business dealings and were responsible for the sale of houses and shops in the new city.
As for the accounts, Gu Nian and Huo Yanyu will have to handle them themselves; they can't leave it all to Gu Xin and Gu Si, as they both have a lot on their plate.
As for Cai Xiaolian's other businesses, Grandma Gu will manage them until her daughters-in-law have recovered from childbirth and are ready to hand them over.
