Second update
The mother-in-law didn't believe it, and Qin Yao had no choice. Perhaps one day the truth would be revealed. She, Qin Yao, didn't know how to embroider at all. The cross-stitched duck in front of her had already consumed all her energy.
Liu Shuqin used the duck to tease her son, but Gu Cheng admitted it and said, "Is it ugly? I think it's ugly too."
Liu Shuqin: “…”
Her son's words left her speechless. Compared with his father and his older brother, the youngest son was the one who cared the least about his image and lived the most freely.
Oh, and the second daughter should also learn from her younger brother.
"This is a little gift from me as a father." Gu Cheng crossed his arms and said confidently, "Mom, why didn't our dad care about you at all? As his biological son, I have never felt much love."
Liu Shuqin: "Talk about this? We never talk about this in our family."
Gu Cheng urged, "You should have let my dad embroider a flower in the first place. When he retires in a few years, you can let him wear reading glasses and shine at home to embroider a beautiful handkerchief for your little granddaughter Miaomiao."
Liu Shuqin: “…”
Liu Shuqin's father-in-law is still alive today and has been retired for some time. He loves his great-granddaughter very much. These retired old cadres, even if they have been away from their posts for many years, still remember their "courage" in the past. From time to time, they hold small meetings at home, organize small organizations, small activities, and carry out small projects.
In other words, it's just looking for something to do.
What little T’s son said is right. I will try it next time and call on the whole family to embroider some flowers to cultivate their sentiments.
If she can't command the old man, how can she command her own husband? This must be prevented in advance to prevent him from messing around at home after retirement.
"Don't mess around in the kitchen. Let me do it. As a husband, it's so hard for me to get to stay at home. Go and spend more time with Yaoyao." Liu Shuqin rubbed her hands and went to occupy the kitchen with great interest.
There are a lot of fresh fish and shrimps on the island. These are ingredients that Liu Shuqin and Shen Guixiang have never touched. They are very curious about how to prepare these seafood. Qin Yao is pregnant and cannot enter the kitchen, so Gu Cheng stands at the door and instructs the two mothers remotely.
Chen Guixiang was very good at making sauces and taught Liu Shuqin several secret recipes.
"So many ingredients? I'll try it next time and let Lao Gu have a taste of it."
Gu Cheng said, "Mom, we have a specialty here called oatmeal. You can take it back and cook it for my dad. It tastes quite rough. You can change it to this to change the taste."
For example, in the primary school where Gu Miaomiao attends, students have to eat meals several times a year to recall the bitter past and think of the sweet past. They also have to go out for training once a year and take agricultural classes, which are experiences that future primary school students will never be able to experience.
"If you don't want to recall the good old days, add some milk, sprinkle some salt and pepper, and cook it into porridge. It tastes very good." Gu Cheng put his arm around his wife's waist and spoke without any guilt.
Qin Yao: “?”
What's the intention of recommending food that you don't like to eat to others?
"Okay, I'll remember it and make it for your dad to try next time." Liu Shuqin did not doubt him. In Liu Shuqin's opinion, her youngest son's cooking skills were already top-notch among the men in the family.
Oatmeal porridge with milk, pepper and salt? It sounds strange, why not add sugar? It’s not that our family can’t afford sugar.
Is this the unique taste that men love to eat?
Liu Shuqin decided to take note of this method and let the men in the family try it.
Liu Shuqin and her daughter-in-law He An prefer sweet porridge, so they skip this.
"Yaoyao, come and sit down. Have your meal here. Xiaocheng, hold your wife close."
"Yaoyao, I made your favorite food today."
"Yaoyao, did the child bother you today?"
…
Qin Yao sat at the dinner table and lived a life of "everything was provided for her". Her status in the family could almost be said to be "the moon surrounded by stars". Pregnant women enjoyed privileges and preferential treatment.
It is precisely because of this that Qin Yao is vaguely worried and tells herself not to be too complacent and to relax. This is probably the reason why many pregnant women suffer from postpartum depression.
Before she gave birth, she received too much attention from her family and everyone treated her as a baby. After she gave birth, everyone in the family focused their attention on the child and neglected the mother.
This feeling of loss cannot be expressed in just a few words.
"Mom, I'm very happy that you care about me so much now. When the baby is born, you should also care about me more, otherwise I can't stand it." Qin Yao shook her biological mother Chen Guixiang's hand. As the only daughter in the family, she has the confidence to act coquettishly.
"You are the mother of a child. You should pay more attention to your child as a mother."
Qin Yao: "Then I will take care of the child, and you take care of me."
Gu Cheng nodded: "I only care about you, not the children."
"No!" Qin Yao squinted her eyes. "If you don't care about your child, what kind of father are you? You have to take half the responsibility for the child's education in the future."
Gu Cheng couldn't help laughing: "I take care of you and the children, but you are the main priority, okay? Yaoyao, little friend."
"Don't make trouble."
…
Chen Guixiang and Liu Shuqin at the other end of the table looked at each other, smiles filling their eyes. It seemed like this young couple was getting along really sweetly.
Qin Yao's house became lively, and Chen Baozhen's house was not deserted either. Her mother-in-law also came over. At the same time, the mother-in-law of Bai Qiuling next door also came over. They were the mother-in-law control group in the original book.
Compared with Chen Baozhen's mother-in-law, Bai Qiuling's mother-in-law is more like a typical extreme person. There is nothing wrong with Chen Baozhen's side, just some minor frictions, but she still treats her like an ancestor.
The baby is getting older, and she feels tired every time she walks. Qin Yao is very sleepy, and she wants to stay in bed all day like a hibernating bear. Although it is not too cold on the island, there are still low temperatures in January and February. When it is night, the wind is stronger and the temperature is brighter. She curls up in bed to sleep, which makes people want to sigh: "It is a good autumn with cool weather."
That’s right, for Chen Guixiang and Liu Shuqin, they feel that the winter on the island is like autumn, which is incredibly comfortable. The sea breeze is gentle and cool. It is a little cold to sleep at night, but they can sleep until dawn after covering themselves with a quilt.
On New Year's Eve, Brother Qin San and Xie Hongni came together. Six people gathered together. When they came, they brought a lot of fruits from the farm, especially sugarcane, which they tied into a large bundle.
They brought good news, Xie Hongni was also pregnant, Chen Guixiang was very happy, "I'm going to have a grandson again."
Xie Hongni smiled shyly and looked at the man next to her. She never expected that she could really marry this idiot and now have a child.
"Congratulations, sister-in-law." Qin Yao held up her big belly. Her belly was so big now that she made a belly support belt for herself and hung it on her shoulders to save some energy.
It was so uncomfortable when I was pregnant, but now that the baby is about to be born, I feel so proud, as if I have accomplished some big project.
"She's going to give birth soon." Xie Hongni looked at her big belly, feeling a little envious and a little scared.
“Hopefully it’ll land soon.”
On New Year's Eve, everyone gathered together to make dumplings and stayed up until midnight. There were no fireworks on the island, but there were cannons set off for an hour. The noise was very loud, and accompanied by the children's screams, there was finally a bit of New Year's atmosphere.
Chen Baozhen's due date was approaching. Qin Yao was a month later than her, but she was born first, and the two little ones in her belly rushed forward. Before the Lantern Festival, on the morning of the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Qin Yao's belly started to move.
Gu Cheng was not at home at the time, so Chen Guixiang and her friend quickly called a military doctor, got on an ambulance, and sent Qin Yao to the military hospital. Liu Shuqin quickly asked someone to notify her son.
Gu Cheng arrived at the hospital around four o'clock in the afternoon and stayed by Qin Yao's side. The nurse originally stopped Gu Cheng from entering, but Qin Yao begged her to let him in. She was familiar with the doctors and nurses in the hospital, and the midwife listened to her and let Gu Cheng come in to accompany his wife.
"Yaoyao, don't be afraid."
"You're afraid."
Qin Yao smiled. She wanted to say, "You're such a coward." Gu Cheng was obviously fine, but his face was as pale as paper, as if he was the one giving birth to the baby.
She clicked on the favorability system, and the favorability gift on it was counting down. If she stayed with Gu Cheng for 24 hours, she would get the favorability gift. Thanks to the "photographic memory" skill she got from him, Qin Yao read a lot of literary works while at work, and she remembered them firmly in her mind.
Maybe with this, she could really become a literary writer?
...Thinking in a daze, Qin Yao persisted even though she had no strength left.
By around seven o'clock in the evening, Qin Yao gave birth to two children.
After the umbilical cord was cut and the babies were washed, the two were brought to Qin Yao to be seen. Qin Yao had heard the babies crying a long time ago. The first one was a little soft, but the second one was very loud. She wanted to sleep very much, but she was curious and wanted to take a look at the babies, so she forced herself not to fall asleep.
"Come and see the children. There are two boys. This is the eldest one, weighing a little over five kilograms."
Qin Yao was very tired. She prepared herself mentally, thinking that if she took a look, she would only see two "little red monkeys". How could she tell what they looked like when they were just born?
According to the two mothers, all newborn babies are ugly, even if they are clown babies, they are still their own children.
Qin Yao mustered up the courage to take a look, and then she was shocked: "!!!!"
Oh my god! This kid looks like her!
Perhaps it was because Qin Yao was well taken care of and the children were well-nourished, so the two children were not ugly when they were born. Their eyebrows and eyes vaguely bore the outlines of their parents. Qin Yao immediately recognized that the eldest child looked like her.
When Qin Yao brought her second youngest son to show her, she was immediately overjoyed.
She is complete, this brother looks like his father!
