Chapter 417: Donkey-hide Gelatin Cake

Mrs. Miao thought about it and agreed: "You are right. Boys and girls are the same. As long as they are healthy, that's all that matters."

Mrs. Miao was a city dweller, and she did not have a strong preference for boys over girls.

"I live next door. If you need any help, just ask."

Jiang Cuihua smiled and said, "My son-in-law is back. He can take good care of my daughter, but..."

"When my daughter gives birth, I would like to ask you to buy some pig's trotters, spare ribs, etc. for her to nourish her body."

There is no need to buy hens and eggs. When the daughter-in-law comes out, call Mrs. Liu Ersao and ask her to bring over a few hens that are raised for Liu Yinyin to eat.

And there are eggs. With so many laying hens at home, there is no shortage of eggs to eat.

"No problem." If nothing else worked, the old lady could still buy pig's trotters. "I'll ask my son to leave you one pig's trotter a day!"

Her daughter-in-law ate the same thing when she gave birth to her child, pig's trotters help her produce milk.

Old Mrs. Miao's grandson and granddaughter both drank breast milk until they were over one year old before they were weaned.

Jiang Cuihua smiled so much that her eyes wrinkled: "That's great."

I don’t know where Gu Cheng bought the things, but when he came back, he brought back two pounds of pork and a roast chicken.

Jiang Cuihua knew that her son-in-law was capable, so she didn't ask any more questions and went to the kitchen carrying the pork.

While muttering, "I'll go chop the stuffing and make the dumplings, so that our family can have a good meal tonight."

Gu Cheng gave the roast chicken to Liu Yinyin: "It's still hot, you and Yanyan eat first."

Jiang Cuihua was not left alone to work.

She chopped the meat.

Gu Cheng is in charge of kneading the dough and rolling out the buns...

I don’t know how long it took, but the two of them had made twenty large buns filled with sauce and meat.

Each bun is the size of a fist, and an adult can be full with two.

Jiang Cuihua sent four to Old Lady Miao's home.

There are sixteen braised pork buns left, eight for dinner and eight for tomorrow morning.

Just enough for two meals.

You don’t need to cook any other dishes in the evening. Just make some egg drop soup and eat it with the braised pork buns.

Liu Yinyin and Gu Yanyan each ate a big chicken leg.

In the evening, I ate another bun.

After dinner, Gu Cheng and Liu Yinyin washed up and went to the hospital to spend the night.

Liu Yinyin originally thought that the baby was about to be born.

As a result, I don’t know if it was because Gu Cheng came.

After two days, Liu Yinyin's physical condition was getting better and better. Except for the frequent fetal movements, there was no other discomfort in her stomach.

"These children will probably cause a lot of trouble in the future." Jiang Cuihua looked forward to the birth of her children every day.

Unexpectedly, when the time came, the children were not in a hurry to come out.

But it's better to come out later. The girl is only eight months pregnant. Actually it's not full term yet, about half a month away.

Liu Yinyin touched her belly and said, "Mom, I'll go back to sleep tonight."

Living in the hospital is actually quite inconvenient because of the poor sound insulation. Liu Yinyin is now a light sleeper.

The slightest noise outside will wake me up.

I have to wake up several times a night, and it's quite tiring to sleep like this.

"You can go back to sleep if you want."

Jiang Cuihua had no objection. Gu Cheng was at home anyway, and if his daughter's belly showed any movement, Gu Cheng could take her to the hospital.

When she was about to go back, Liu Yinyin said hello to the nurse at the hospital and said that she would not come tonight.

So that they don't have to go to check the room.

There were two nurses on duty at the nursing station, one of whom was Nurse Su Xiaoqing who had taken care of Liu Yinyin.

The other nurse...was a little girl with an oval face and was very pretty.

As they walked a little further, Jiang Cuihua couldn't help but mutter, "I don't know how the hospital arranged this. They hired some pretty young nurses."

Having been in and out of the hospital frequently these days, Jiang Cuihua has seen the world.

Most of the people who knew about living in Qing City Hospital were people of status and position.

There are also military officers.

Think about it carefully...if there is a young and pretty nurse hanging around every day, applying medicine, serving tea and water, and even asking about your health.

Which grown man wouldn’t be moved after seeing this?

Especially when you are sick, everyone will be soft-hearted.

Liu Yinyin: "Maybe it's for the image of the hospital."

Jiang Cuihua sighed: "What kind of image is that? Girls who are too pretty have high aspirations and are prone to making mistakes."

Liu Yinyin pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Mom, what do you mean by that?"

Jiang Cuihua coughed twice: "Nothing, I'm just worried that they might get confused and provoke someone they shouldn't provoke..."

Little did they know.

After the mother and daughter left, the head nurse's people also talked about them.

Where there are women, there is gossip.

Su Xiaoqing is not a person who likes to gossip, but her colleagues are the opposite, some of them are young and energetic.

"How many days has Comrade Liu Yinyin been staying in the hospital? She is staying here but not having a baby. Isn't this a waste of hospital resources?"

In her opinion, Liu Yinyin was not sick or in any pain, but she was pregnant, so it was a bit of a fuss for her to stay in the hospital to wait for the birth.

Hospitals are places where patients are treated and lives are saved.

Su Xiaoqing glanced at her and said, "She is pregnant with triplets and is staying in the hospital because of special circumstances."

"It's the same thing for triplets. After all, she was able to stay in the hospital early because of her man's connections..."

"That's also because her man is capable." Su Xiaoqing didn't understand why she had such a strong opinion of Liu Yinyin, and kindly reminded her.

"You'd better be careful with your words. You know what happened to the two nurses before."

Su Xiaoqing's colleague naturally knew about the incident two days ago, otherwise he wouldn't be so upset.

The female nurse whose hair was pulled by Jiang Cuihua before happened to be her cousin.

However, Su Xiaoqing had only been working at the hospital for a short time, and many people were still unaware of their relationship.

Thinking about my cousin being fired from the hospital, I feel so regretful now at home.

Colleague Su Xiaoqing opened her mouth but said nothing.

......

Liu Yinyin returned home and had nothing to do, so she took out a box of things she had stockpiled earlier.

There were several bags of things in the box, including dried red dates, dried walnuts, sesame seeds, dried longan meat, dried wolfberries, and rock sugar.

She had previously made some donkey hide gelatin, which she crushed and soaked in rice wine yesterday morning. It should be almost done by now.

After she found out she was pregnant with twins, Liu Yinyin collected these foods.

Prepare some donkey-hide gelatin so that you can eat some tonic food during your confinement period.

She is too heavy to do kitchen work.

Seeing this, Jiang Cuihua helped her make donkey-hide gelatin, and Liu Yinyin taught her beside her.

Making donkey-hide gelatin is very troublesome.

It was almost dark when I finally cooked a pot of donkey-hide gelatin.

Let cool on a plate until set.
