Chapter 429 Mother Care
On the other side, I put some mushrooms in to make soup for the kids.
I didn’t make any staple food, so I just soaked some rice noodles.
If you are not full, you can cook some rice noodles.
In the evening, Liu Yinyin moved out the stove and the dining table, and a group of people ate around the table.
"Mom..." Jiang Cuihua was seeing this situation for the first time and exclaimed in surprise, "Why are they eating only vegetables and no rice?"
There are more than a dozen plates full of vegetables, enough for the family to eat for two or three days, Jiang Cuihua thought.
The bone soup was already boiling, bubbling with steam.
Zheng Qiangwei's mouth was watering: "Auntie, hot pot is all-you-can-eat."
Liu Yinyin scalded a piece of beef and put it in her bowl: "Mom, try it..."
Jiang Cuihua took a bite and said, "The beef is really delicious after being cooked like this."
"Mom, please eat more."
I haven’t eaten hot pot for a long time. This time, Liu Yinyin was so full that she was full.
Not only her, but also Jiang Cuihua, Zheng Qiangwei, and Liu Ersao, all enjoyed the meal to their heart's content.
Autumn goes and winter comes. In the blink of an eye, two months have passed and it is the end of the year.
Two major events happened on the island in these two months.
The first thing is that a month ago, Gu Cheng was promoted again. Now he is no longer a deputy, but a brigade commander.
Although Liu Yinyin was surprised, she still had to live her life, except that her monthly salary had increased by a few dozen yuan.
Other changes are not significant.
One more thing...
Liu Yinyin felt a headache just thinking about it. A week ago, she received a letter from her hometown.
This time the letter was not sent from my hometown, but from Gu's family.
The letter said that Gu's mother was coming to the island to visit her grandchildren.
Liu Yinyin didn't know what Gu's mother was planning, but her sudden announcement of coming was really surprising and worrying.
Jiang Cuihua frowned and said, "Did you know that your son-in-law got a promotion and wanted to come and enjoy the good life?"
Logically speaking, Liu Yinyin gave birth to triplets at once, and a normal mother-in-law would only be happy.
But Gu's mother... Jiang Cuihua really didn't dare to say that her in-laws would care about the child.
The reason I came to the island was probably because of Gu Cheng.
Liu Yinyin shook her head slightly: "Probably not, she didn't know that Gu Cheng got a promotion."
The people in Gu's family really didn't know about Gu Cheng's promotion.
Gu Cheng always sent the money back directly without even writing a letter.
The Gu family did write to him a few times, just to say... Father or Mother Gu was feeling dizzy and hoped that Gu Cheng would send some money and tickets back.
"Then why is she here? Is she here to see the triplets?" Jiang Cuihua muttered.
She herself didn't believe what she said.
"Let her be." Liu Yinyin didn't want to get entangled in these troublesome things.
Jiang Cuihua was quite worried about her.
"Yin Yin, we can't think like that." It's not that Jiang Cuihua has a bad heart.
However, Mrs. Gu is not an easy person to get along with. If she is reluctant to leave after coming to the island, the girl’s life will be difficult in the future.
Liu Yinyin: "Mom, don't worry, I won't be bullied by her."
It doesn't matter if Gu's mother comes, because she and Gu Cheng are in charge of all the matters at home.
Jiang Cuihua grumbled: "I'm not afraid that you will be bullied..."
It's not that she was bullying, she was just worried that her mother would cause trouble for her daughter.
"It's up to you to decide."
After all, she is Gu Cheng's biological mother, so Jiang Cuihua can't say anything unpleasant.
Liu Yinyin changed the subject and said, "Mom, I want to go to Qing City."
The New Year is coming soon, and she wants to go to Qing City to buy some supplies.
The supply of materials in the supply and marketing cooperative on the island is limited, and many things are not available for purchase.
Jiang Cuihua: "Are you going alone?"
The children are more than three months old. When the weather is good, they can be taken out for a walk.
The weather is so cold now, it is definitely not possible to take the child to Qing City.
So, someone has to be at home to take care of the children.
Liu Yinyin nodded: "I'll go alone. I've been to Qing City several times. Nothing will happen."
She originally wanted to go by herself so that she could smuggle things out.
The New Year is coming soon, and I have to send some New Year’s goods to my family.
And there is Jiang Cuihua...who has been taking care of Liu Yinyin and several children at home for the past six months.
It's really hard work. Liu Yinyin wants to buy some cloth and cotton to make her two sets of winter clothes.
Buy some supplements for her to replenish her body.
Jiang Cuihua knew that her daughter was a person of insight, so she just said, "Be careful."
That night, Liu Yinyin told Gu Cheng that Gu's mother was coming to the island.
Gu Cheng frowned upon hearing this: "I'll send a telegram back tomorrow, asking mother not to come."
My mother is not young anymore and has never ridden a train. What if something happens on the way?
Liu Yinyin did not comment. Just as Jiang Cuihua said, Gu's mother was Gu Cheng's biological mother after all.
Blood thickens in water. As her daughter-in-law, Liu Yinyin cannot comment on anything about her affairs.
Liu Yinyin changed the subject: "By the way, I'm going to Qing City tomorrow. I want to go to the department store to buy some nutritional supplements for Dad and Mom."
The people she was referring to were, of course, Liu Lai Fu and Jiang Cui Hua.
"It's really hard for mom to help take care of the children," Gu Cheng said. "I'll go to Big Swallow Island again and get some bird's nests for you to eat."
Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "That's fine."
Bird's nest is a good thing and can be stewed every now and then.
Gu Cheng thought of something and told Liu Yinyin: "It will probably take some time to buy a house."
He asked his friends in Qingshi to help him find out if there were any suitable houses for sale.
However, not many people know how to sell houses these days, so buying a house is really not an easy thing.
"Don't worry." Liu Yinyin said.
Buying a house in Qing City is just for the convenience of commuting to Qing City in the future.
If you really can’t buy it, it doesn’t matter.
The next day, after Liu Yinyin finished her breakfast, she boarded the boat to Qing City.
Not many people go to Qing City during this season.
Liu Yinyin pursed her cashmere scarf. It hadn't snowed on the island since the beginning of winter.
However, it was still quite cold. The sea breeze was strong on the island and it felt like a knife scraping on my face.
After arriving in Qing City, Liu Yinyin first went to the family home near the hospital.
She brought a bag of flour and twenty eggs for Mrs. Miao.
It was almost lunch time and Mrs. Miao was cooking at home.
Seeing Liu Yinyin, he was quite surprised: "...Yinyin, come in and sit down."
Liu Yinyin handed her the things and said, "Grandma Miao, I have other things to do, so I won't go in."
Mrs. Miao: "Why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you have lunch at my house before leaving?"
Liu Yinyin didn't agree: "No, Grandma Miao, I'll come to see you next time."
When Mrs. Miao realized that she couldn't keep her, she went to the kitchen and got a piece of pork for her.
"I just bought it this morning. Take it home and eat it. I'll go to the meat processing factory and buy another one tomorrow."
