Chapter 259

Seeing that Tang Wan's expression didn't seem fake, Xu Cuiying felt a little embarrassed and she smiled awkwardly.

"I saw you sitting here alone and the children were crying, so I thought you were having a quarrel."

“There’s no big conflict.”

Tang Wan sighed, "I took the weaning medicine, the children want to drink my milk.

So I came out to avoid them, otherwise they would definitely not be willing to cooperate."

"Why do you want to wean yourself when you have milk?"

Xu Cuiying had an expression of wasting things, she wanted it but didn't have it yet.

Tang Wan actually went so far as to wean her. It really is true that comparing yourself with others can make you angry.

"I don't have time to come back every day to feed my baby recently. It's better to drink milk powder."

Tang Wan glanced at the listless child in her arms, "Sister Cuiying, did you buy the milk powder?"

She suddenly remembered what Wang Dani said yesterday, that Xu Cuiying would definitely not be willing to buy milk powder.

Sure enough, Xu Cuiying looked embarrassed for a moment, and she forced an explanation:

"I discussed this with Lao Cheng last night and we can't afford to consume so much milk powder every month.

I will feed him as much as I can. If he is not full, I can give him some rice soup."

Her nonchalant words left Tang Wan dumbfounded, "Is it okay to drink rice soup?"

"It's possible. Many children in our team were raised this way before.

And when they grow a little bigger, you can feed them sweet potatoes, potatoes, and rice porridge."

Xu Cuiying was very confident, as she had gone through the same thing when she was a child.

Milk powder is so expensive, it’s enough to cover their family’s expenses for a whole year.

So she really couldn't bear to leave.

"oh."

This was their family matter, and Tang Wan didn't want to interfere, so she just smiled awkwardly.

Then I didn't ask any more questions.

Perhaps because she felt it was embarrassing, Xu Cuiying did not stay long and quickly returned to her own yard with the child.

Zhang Hongyan, who heard the noise, stuck her head out from the next room and whispered to her:

"Big sister, why did I hear her borrowing milk powder from you yesterday?"

"Yeah, but she didn't buy it herself, so what can I do?"

Tang Wan threw her hands helplessly. She really didn't expect Xu Cuiying to be so frugal.

After all, Captain Cheng's allowance is quite good, so he can afford this amount of milk powder.

But she didn't want to comment on other people's family background, so she just pretended she hadn't heard anything.

"If it was a son, she would definitely be willing to give it up."

Zhang Hongyan chuckled, "Yesterday I saw her discussing with others whether the baby in her belly was a boy or a girl.

She was eager to give birth to a boy and was reluctant to buy milk powder, as she was also thinking about having a second child soon."

"All right."

Tang Wan didn’t really understand this, so she just listened and let it go. “Everyone has their own choices.

Although her daughter Nier looks skinny, we can’t do anything about it.”

She has two children of her own and knows how hard it is to raise a child, and she would never raise a child for someone else.

“You are right.”

Zhang Hongyan's face was full of envy. "I really envy you guys. I also want to have a daughter."

Her belly has been still since she gave birth to Wang Shengli.

In this era, people value having many children, which brings more blessings, so Zhang Hongyan really wants to have another child.

Thinking that Tang Wan was now a doctor, she looked at Tang Wan with shining eyes, "Big sister, can you take my pulse?"

"Hmm?" Tang Wan was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded, "Sister Hongyan, you really trust me.

I've only been to class for a few days, and you dare ask me to take my pulse."

"Well, just take a look."

Zhang Hongyan also spoke in a joking tone as she came from her own courtyard to Tang Wan's courtyard.

Tang Wan carefully placed her fingertips on her pulse, then narrowed her eyes.

"What's going on? Is there really something wrong with my body?"

Zhang Hongyan was shocked by her look. After all, she and Lao Wang had been spending less and less time together since they got married.

So she didn't suspect anything when there was no movement in her stomach.

But this time, Lao Wang stayed at home for a long time and she still didn't respond, so she had other ideas.

"Sister Hongyan, have you ever been caught in cold water during your period?"

Zhang Hongyan was a little shocked by Tang Wan's words, "Hey, sister, you are really amazing.

I washed diapers with cold water when I was in confinement shortly after giving birth to Shengli.

The weather was cold at that time, so I did a lot of things myself, after all, my mother-in-law was far away.

Another time, I remember it was in Leshan, Lao Wang didn’t go home for the New Year, so Shengli and I spent the New Year together.

I heard that the team was digging a pond, so I went to see out of curiosity. I fell in and it was so cold that I caught a cold for a whole week before I recovered.

"That's it."

Tang Wan sighed and said, "Sister Hongyan, I'm afraid you have uterine cold, which means your uterus is cold.

I'll prescribe some medicine for you later, so you can have a child.

Just don’t rush it, take your time.”

“It really has something to do with that.”

Zhang Hongyan was a little annoyed, "I just wanted to get something to eat for the child because he is still young.

Look at what happened. I almost killed myself. Okay, then you prescribe some medicine for me and I'll go to the hospital to get it.

Big sister, please calculate the medical fee and I will give it to you."

Tang Wan: …

She doesn’t have any ID yet, and it seems like even if she gets a prescription, the hospital won’t give her the medicine.

"How about this, I'll get you some medicine, and then you can make it yourself?"

Tang Wan thought of Uncle Acai. Fortunately, she now had a decent place to get medicine.

Otherwise she wouldn't know what to do in this situation.

"That's fine. Anyway, you can count the money together. Although we have a good relationship, I can't take advantage of you."

Zhang Hongyan smiled cheerfully, "In the future, big sister, you may become a famous doctor in our hospital. I'm afraid you'll have to queue up if you want to see me."

She was just saying it casually, but she didn't expect it to come true.

"I just started learning, Sister Hongyan, you trust me so much, I am very happy."

Tang Wan was telling the truth. Once this Hongyan sign is brought out, more and more people will trust her in the future.

As the two chatted, the crying of the children in the house seemed to subside a lot.

It was probably a compromise.

Tang Wan and Zhang Hongyan smiled at each other. After Zhang Hongyan went back, Tang Wan returned to the house and saw Wang Dani looking somewhat helpless.

"After making a lot of noise for a while, I drank enough and went to sleep."

"Thank you for your hard work, mother."

Tang Wan also felt sorry for the children. She stared at the tear marks on their faces and gently wiped them away.

Then she said softly, "Mom will not treat you badly. Drinking formula is no worse than breast milk."

"I just heard what you said to Xu Cuiying. She was going to feed me rice soup?"

Wang Dani's curious words made Tang Wan pause again, and she asked Wang Dani in confusion.

"Mom, did your team feed children this way before?"

"It wasn't always like this, but during the famine years, the adults were so hungry that they ate Guanyin soil, not to mention the children.

But now the harvest is good, so even if this happens, we still have rice porridge and sweet potatoes to eat.

Rice soup doesn't have that much nutrition, it's not even comparable to milk powder."
