Chapter 397 Resignation

Zheng Qiangwei has only been a mother for a few days and is still in confinement after giving birth. She doesn't know how to take care of a child at all.

Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "I raised Yanyan by myself, so I have some experience."

Holding a baby and coaxing a baby both require experience. Only those who are used to taking care of children know how to hold them comfortably.

It’s normal for new parents not to know how to take care of children.

Yang Suqin is a mother-in-law, but she has a job. She gave birth to her children when she was young, and the elders helped raise them.

So, she herself has no experience in raising children.

Especially for newborn babies, with their small arms and legs, I dare not use force when holding them.

The young lady finally stopped crying, and Zheng Qiangwei breathed a sigh of relief. Then she said worriedly, "Yinyin, put the child down."

Liu Yinyin was pregnant and it was not convenient for her to hold the baby all the time.

"It's okay." The little girl weighed only six or seven pounds. It was summer now and she wasn't wearing much clothes. She didn't feel heavy at all when she was held.

Liu Yinyin said: "I will put her down after she falls asleep, to prevent her from crying again later."

After holding the girl for about five or six minutes and seeing that she seemed to have fallen asleep, Liu Yinyin put the child down.

A newborn baby's hearing has not yet fully developed, so there is no need to worry about disturbing her.

Liu Yinyin noticed that Zheng Qiangwei looked unhappy: "How are you doing recently?"

Zheng Qiangwei smiled bitterly and said, "It's so bad that it's like this."

That's her mother-in-law's personality. As a daughter-in-law, Zheng Qiangwei can only endure it even if she feels dissatisfied.

Liu Yinyin didn't ask any more questions: "By the way, I heard Aunt Wang say this morning that there is a family in her village that has an old hen that doesn't lay eggs, and they want to exchange it for some fine food."

"Do you want to buy it and eat it? If not, I will buy it."

It is really inconvenient to eat meat on the island. The supply and marketing cooperative only supplies pork once a week.

Chicken, duck and goose meat are also only available after a period of time.

It is a rare opportunity for villagers on the island to buy chickens.

Zheng Qiangwei was in confinement, which was the time when she needed to drink chicken soup to nourish her body.

When Yang Suqin came, she also brought her a lot of supplements, including Panax notoginseng, ginseng, bird's nest and so on.

However, Zheng Qiangwei still likes to eat some meat.

If there are old hens for sale, she will naturally take them.

"I'll get you some flour."

Zheng Qiangwei was still in confinement after giving birth and couldn't go out, so she had to ask Liu Yinyin to help buy an old hen.

Liu Yinyin can still help with this.

I was carrying flour out when I ran into Yang Suqin coming back...

However, Yang Suqin came back alone and did not see Liu Ersao.

Seeing Liu Yinyin coming out of her house, Yang Suqin couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Liu Yinyin: “…”

baffling.

"Mom, isn't Sister Liu here?" Seeing Yang Suqin coming back alone, Zheng Qiangwei's head started to hurt again.

Her mother-in-law is a person who looks down on country people from the bottom of her heart.

It's hard for others to change her mind.

Even if it was Liu Yinyin, she looked down on her in her heart.

Yang Suqin's face turned cold: "Don't mention her, she's just a woman from the country, but she's so arrogant. I personally went to her house to invite her over, but she said she didn't have time."

Mrs. Liu has been busy decorating the new house these past two days and really hasn't had much free time.

Zheng Qiangwei sighed: "Let's wait for her to come in two days."

Yang Suqin couldn't swallow the anger in her heart: "I told her not to come again in the future."

She was just a servant hired to help, and Yang Suqin would not allow Liu Ersao to ride on her head.

Zheng Qiangwei was simply speechless: "...Mom, if she doesn't come, who will help us take care of the children in the future?"

She couldn't take care of the baby during her confinement period. Not to mention whether Yang Suqin could take care of the baby alone, she only got half a month's leave this time.

You can't stay on the island for long.

Yang Suqin said nonchalantly: "It's not that easy. I will find a new servant to help me at home tomorrow..."

"Mom!" Zheng Qiangwei was shocked, "Don't say that nonsense."

It is not allowed to hire a maid at this time, as people would think it is petty bourgeoisie.

If reported, the consequences will be serious.

If you are really busy at home, you can ask an acquaintance to help, but if you hire a servant, the nature of the matter is completely different.

Yang Suqin choked: "...I know, am I such an ignorant person? I only said that in front of you."

Her own son is a soldier, so Yang Suqin would naturally be careful about some things she said, otherwise it would have a bad impact on Yang Yiming.

Zheng Qiangwei skipped the topic and said, "Mom, Sister Liu is doing a good job, and Xiao Shanshan likes her too. I want to keep her at home to continue helping."

"No, I've asked her not to come."

The words have been spoken. If Liu Ersao comes back again, Yang Suqin will be very embarrassed.

"She's not the only one who can do it. Xiao Feng, the lover of Lu Liangshan next door, doesn't have a job either. I'll go ask her tomorrow. She should be able to help."

Yang Suqin was talking about another next-door neighbor, Feng Xiaoxian, the wife of Deputy Captain Lu.

Zheng Qiangwei: "...Mom, I'm not familiar with her."

Yang Suqin: "It doesn't matter. Everything will be fine in the future. Comrade Xiao Feng is a cultured person and it's easy to get along with him."

Yang Suqin was determined to find someone to help with housework at home, and Zheng Qiangwei couldn't stop her.

After that, Mrs. Liu Er never went to work at Zheng Qiangwei's house again.

It's a shame to lose your job, but there's nothing you can do about it.

Fortunately, Liu Yinyin's family also needs help from Liu Ersao.

Liu Yinyin really needs help. Her belly is getting bigger and bigger, and it is inconvenient for her to do laundry and mop the floor.

And cooking...Liu Yinyin is almost sick of eating in the cafeteria every day.

She wants to eat some home-cooked food now.

Liu Ersao and Liu Yinyin come from the same place and have similar tastes.

With Mrs. Liu helping with cooking, Liu Yinyin's appetite improved a lot.

Mrs. Liu was also happy working at Liu Yinyin's house.

Time flies, and another month has passed in the blink of an eye.

"Little sister, why hasn't your brother-in-law come back yet?" asked Mrs. Liu.

Gu has been away from Chengdu for more than a month and there is no news at all.

Liu Yinyin shook her head: "I don't know either."

She went to the army to ask, but the people in the army said that Gu Cheng was carrying out a confidential mission and refused to give her a definite answer.

However, it should be safe to care for adults.

Mrs. Liu said, "Your belly is so big now, how can you live without someone by your side at night?"

What if something happens and no one knows, Liu Ersao thought to herself.

Being a military wife is not easy. Your husband is often not around and you have to do everything on your own.

Liu Yinyin didn't think it was a big deal. "There's a bathroom upstairs. I laid a non-slip mat on the floor. It'll be fine."

Pregnant women urinate frequently, and Liu Yinyin has to get up to go to the toilet several times a night.

For safety reasons, she installed anti-slip mats in the rooms and bathrooms.

I also wear non-slip slippers on my feet.
