Shen Xiangzhi paused as he walked in and said, “Mom, you and big brother stay at home and watch, I’ll go buy it.”
After he walked in, he said, "I have some connections, I should be able to buy it."
Not only do you need a ticket to buy meat, but the key is that a pig only has four hooves. If you are unlucky, you may not be able to buy any at all.
Mrs. An was eager to stay at home with her daughter, and said, "Okay, go ahead. If you can buy some, buy two more. I don't know how bad it would be for your health to have three red beans at once. You need to take good care of yourself."
"I see." Shen Xiangzhi said and asked An Hongdou again, "Do you need anything else? I'll bring it back for you?"
An Hongdou shook her head and said, "Just buy as you like. Don't listen to mom. I'll vomit if you buy so many pig's trotters."
She had finally lost weight, and didn't want to gain it back during the confinement period.
Moreover, during the confinement period, it is enough to have sufficient nutritional supplements and there is no need to eat too much meat and fish.
After Shen Xiangzhi went out, Mrs. An was so angry that she wanted to beat An Hongdou.
"Are you stupid, girl? If you don't eat something good during the confinement period, you won't be able to afford to eat in the future." After a woman has a child, she has to think about the child in everything she does. She won't be willing to eat or drink, and her whole life will be spent like this.
Mrs. An herself survived this way, but she hoped that her daughter would not have to endure the same life with her.
An Hongdou couldn't help but laugh, "Mom, eating more pig's trotters means you're living a good life? Aren't your requirements a bit too low?"
Old Lady An couldn't help but sigh: "You are so lucky, your son-in-law seems to have plenty of money. I don't know what the situation is like at home, but you have three older sons by your side now, so I can finally put my mind at ease."
No matter what, even if he doesn't want a wife, he can't give up his three sons, right?
Not to mention, after Hongdou lost weight, her face became white and tender and very beautiful.
An Hongdou thought of Fourth Brother An's story and asked, "Mom, how is Fourth Brother's matchmaking going?"
"It's good. The girl is good-looking, hardworking, tall and with a big butt. You can tell she can have children." Mrs. An said with some sadness, "But her family is very poor. She is the eldest in the family and has two younger brothers who are still single."
In fact, whether the family is poor or not has nothing to do with them. After all, when you marry a daughter-in-law, you will come to live with them.
But Mrs. An was afraid that the new daughter-in-law would be ignorant and always think about her parents' home in everything, which would cause great losses to her family.
"What does Fourth Brother say?" An Hongdou felt that Mrs. An's worries were not unreasonable, but it depended on how she thought about it.
If your mother's family is worthy and you have the ability, there's nothing wrong with helping them a little, as long as you don't drag down your own family for the sake of other people's lives.
However, what An Hongdou was most worried about was Fourth Brother An's personality.
Such people are too soft-hearted and lack independent thinking.
However, Fourth Brother An is capable and honest, which is also a big advantage.
He found her a fourth sister-in-law with a strong character, capable of making decisions and taking care of the family. As long as the two of them work together, their future life will definitely be good.
"Alas!" Speaking of Fourth Brother An, Old Lady An sighed, "I don't know which ancestor your Fourth Brother has this doughy temper. He has not wanted to get married since the incident with Zhao Yun. You see, at his age, he is not anxious, so how can I, as a mother, not be anxious? It was not easy to persuade the girl to come to our house to see her. I think the girl is pretty good, so I wanted him to settle down. But he said in front of the matchmaker and the girl, "Let me decide!"
The girl thought he didn't like her, so she went home angrily and said she would think about it again.
She went to see Miao Hong yesterday and asked her to help put in some good words for her, but until now, she still doesn't know if it will work.
"I would have ignored him if I had known. Because of the matter of finding a doctor for him, your mother missed the birth of your child. Yesterday morning, I was left alone to take care of you and three children. I guess she was too busy. I don't know how you two spent the whole night in the hospital!" Mrs. An was very angry. Mainly because she didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that the two of them gave birth on the second day after they arrived in town.
She was away for just one day, and coincidentally, she gave birth on that day.
As she spoke, Mrs. An reached out and poked Dabao's face, teasing him, "Isn't that right, you three little rascals? You deliberately took advantage of your grandma's absence to be born. Fourth uncle is ignorant, and you little guys are also ignorant. You don't know how to feel sorry for your mother at all..."
An Hongdou thought about how she had spent the previous night, which was indeed quite hectic.
But at least the child was fine, and she was relieved to be back here.
After not getting a good rest the night after giving birth, and tossing and turning early in the morning, An Hongdou lay down and took a nap.
She was awakened by the crying of a child.
It was quite light at first, but later all three of them cried together. Except for the youngest one who whimpered weakly, the other two cried very loudly.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I smelled the fragrance coming from outside.
An Hongdou was lying on the outermost side of the bed, with the three children standing in a row inside, crying.
Shen Xiangzhi was helping to light the fire. Hearing the crying, he ran in from outside in a panic and saw An Hongdou who had already woken up.
"Do you have milk? If not, just continue to rest. I'll go make milk powder for them." Chen Xiang knew.
"Yes, please get me a towel to wipe it." An Hongdou said.
When she woke up, she clearly felt her chest was swollen, and there was a lump when she touched it with her hand.
Shen Xiangzhi hummed and hurried out to fetch water.
After An Hongdou finished wiping, Old Lady An came in and saw this scene and said, "Why should you be so particular when you are poor? You still have to wipe the children's bodies when they are crying with hunger. How many people are like this? If they can't find water to wipe their bodies when they go out, you won't give them food?"
"Let's talk about going out later if we're going out." An Hongdou said while feeding the child.
After all, it is going to be put into the child's mouth. It has been covered in clothes for a long time and it always feels unclean if it is not wiped.
Also, she might have leaked some milk, her clothes were damp and she could even smell the milk.
Her milk was only enough to feed two children, because the third child ate less.
Last time it was the eldest child who drank milk powder, this time it was the second child’s turn, and the two brothers took turns.
The reason why Sanbao was able to continue drinking breast milk is because he is the weakest.
After feeding the child, Mrs. An brought over a bowl of pig's trotters stewed with soybeans. "It's freshly cooked. Eat it while it's hot."
Old Mrs. An put the soup on the bedside table, and An Hongdou lifted the quilt and wanted to put on her shoes.
"I'll do whatever you want to do. You just gave birth yesterday. Don't you feel uncomfortable?" Old Lady An asked her.
