Chapter 491: Home
It was Huang Shi who came in from behind and saw this, and then he explained:
"Shuimei is still a little weak and doesn't have enough milk!"
"That's not enough food. What do you feed them?" Yu Mengqing asked curiously.
She really didn't know the answer to this question.
In the end times, mothers who have no breast milk can use milk powder instead.
Hearing this, Li Shuimei finally reacted, smiled awkwardly, and then said:
"The rice soup is still there, but my body is not strong enough. I tried for a long time but couldn't even feed them two mouthfuls."
"Shuimei, lie down, I'll do it!"
When Huang Shi heard this, he immediately helped Li Shuimei lie down.
Then he picked up the rice soup in the bowl and prepared to feed the child.
It was only when I touched it in my mouth that I realized that the rice soup had already gone cold.
So he hurried out with the bowl in his hand.
It looks like it's ready to be heated up.
Seeing this, Yu Mengqing felt relieved.
She had looked at the rice soup just now. There were not many rice grains in it, but it was still very thick.
It seems that Huangshi is quite thoughtful.
But when she saw the tiny child in her arms, Yu Mengqing couldn't bear it.
These two children had already suffered more than the other children during childbirth, and you can tell from their expressions now.
And because they are twins, they are much smaller than normal children.
Naturally, their resistance and other aspects are much worse.
If there is no mother's milk, it is still a question whether the baby can be raised.
Even if I survived, my health afterwards was not satisfactory.
Thinking of this, Yu Mengqing said to Huang Shi who had just entered, "Is there anyone raising sheep in the village?"
"sheep?"
"Yes, it's a sheep!"
"Yes, yes, but General Yu, if you want sheep, I will ask for you later." Huangshi said quickly.
It was a rare occasion that Yu Mengqing needed him, so naturally he wouldn't refuse.
Although it was just a small thing, Huangshi was happy that he could help her.
And it really is just a matter of one sentence.
"It's not me who needs it, but you who needs it!"
"Ah? Me? I don't need it?" Huangshi said curiously, pointing at himself.
Not to mention that he is too poor to afford it now, even if he could afford it, he doesn't think it is necessary to buy a whole sheep as a tonic.
"It's not just you who needs it, but your children who need it. And it has to be a cow or sheep that can produce milk."
"You mean to let them drink goat's milk?" Li Shuimei on the side was the first to react and asked in disbelief.
This was the first time they heard of drinking goat milk.
"Yes, they can drink it, but you have to boil the goat milk you squeeze out and let it cool to the right temperature before giving it to them."
"Really? General Yu, are you telling the truth?" Huangshi asked in disbelief.
"What General Yu?" Li Shuimei suddenly asked curiously.
Everyone: “…”
Next, Huang Shi explained the identities of Yu Mengqing and Chu Shiheng to Li Shuimei one by one.
Li Shuimei suddenly realized.
"So you really are the Jade General who fought on the battlefield?"
Hearing this, Yu Mengqing just nodded helplessly.
She has become immune to this problem these past two days.
Because I've heard it too much.
"How about it? You haven't just heard of our Meng Qing's name now, have you?" Guo Peiying asked proudly.
It looked as if Yu Mengqing was herself.
"General Yu, then I... I..."
"Go ahead, this matter should be dealt with as soon as possible. We don't need your hospitality here!" Yu Mengqing interrupted Huangshi directly.
She naturally knew what Huangshi wanted to express, which was simply to find dairy sheep.
Seeing this, Caiyue subconsciously took the rice soup from Huangshi's hand.
Finding a ewe is not the same thing. Once you find one, you have to squeeze it out.
After squeezing it out, it needs to be boiled and then cooled. This whole process takes at least one or two hours.
The child is hungry now, how can he wait?
There is no other way, I have to use rice soup instead for this meal.
"Aunt Li, please stretch out your hand so I can take your pulse!" Yu Mengqing, who was sitting next to her, said softly to Li Shuimei.
"Isn't this...isn't this a bit too much trouble for you?"
"What's the trouble? Now that I'm here, there's no such thing as trouble or not."
Hearing this, Li Shuimei stopped being shy and simply stretched out her right hand.
She has never been the kind of person who acts pretentiously, and she is indeed weak now.
If you take good care of yourself, you will be able to better accompany your children as they grow up in the future.
"General Yu, what's wrong? How am I doing?" Li Shuimei asked anxiously.
She had suffered heavy bleeding during childbirth, and she is still using the purple ginseng slices Chunhua gave her to make tea.
Although it has been brewed countless times, it no longer has any trace of the purple ginseng flavor.
But Li Shuimei just couldn't bear to throw it away.
It was only later that she realized how precious purple ginseng was.
Soon, Yu Mengqing withdrew her right hand.
He looked at Li Shuimei solemnly and said:
"Your body is basically hollowed out, you need to replenish it."
In fact, Yu Mengqing has already said it very vaguely.
In her current physical condition, not only is she weak, but her qi and blood are also deficient.
Looking at her face again, it was indeed extremely pale.
"Aunt Li, try this. It might help you produce more milk."
Hearing Yu Mengqing's words, Xue Zhonglan on the side hurriedly handed over the brine in his hand and said.
In her eyes, these were all made by Yu Mengqing using special potions.
At least it's better than her doing nothing.
Looking at her poor and shabby house, even if Li Shuimei didn't say anything, the others could probably tell something.
That’s right, there are countless families like this in the village.
Seeing this, Yu Mengqing immediately felt that her decision was right.
She can help Huang Shi and Li Shuimei at this time, but what about in the future?
The saying “it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him how to fish” is actually quite true.
Her current assistance was only a temporary relief.
If we want to help them, we have to change fundamentally.
Therefore, growing ingredients is their only and most convenient way out now.
Li Shuimei didn't know what Yu Mengqing was thinking. Only then did she notice the black thing that Xue Zhonglan had.
"Girl, is this a pig's trotter?"
"Well, don't be fooled by the black color of the pig's trotter, it tastes really good." Guo Peiying on the side couldn't help but say.
As he said this, he subconsciously licked the corner of his mouth.
That greedy look immediately made Li Shuimei laugh.
"Then let me try it?" Li Shuimei asked with a smile.
