"Okay, the children are still young. Can we wean them when they are a little older, about eight months old?"
After all, he is my husband, so of course I have to coax him.
I kissed him on the forehead, and he kissed me back instantly.
Zhou Huaian finally stopped after he had kissed her enough.
"Wife, while the child is sleeping, you should also take a nap. I will make soup for you and you can eat it when you wake up."
"Well, okay, go ahead! Just don't make it too greasy, but don't make it too bland either."
After eating several light meals, Su Qingxue was already tired of it.
Zhou Huaian frowned, "Okay."
There wasn't a trace of reluctance in his words, as if the person who had just frowned was not him.
Although he agreed, he only planned to add a little more salt to the chicken soup and don't even think about anything else.
When I went outside, I saw Sun Rui busy in the kitchen, plucking the feathers of a chicken in his hands. I simply joined in and prepared to help.
"Sun Rui, the doctor said your sister-in-law can't eat anything too salty. She has to eat light food. But she has been eating too light food these past two days. She may not be able to eat anymore. Think of a way to make her eat more, but not too strong."
He just threw the trouble to Sun Rui. After all, Sun Rui's craftsmanship was so good, so what was difficult for him shouldn't be too difficult for him, right?
Sun Rui didn't say anything, just listened silently. In his mind, he was already thinking about what to add to the chicken soup to make it nutritious and light.
Suddenly I remembered that there seemed to be some yams in my house. "There are some yams in the utility room of my house. You can get them. Stewing some of them in the soup should make it lighter."
Sun Rui's words seemed to give him inspiration. Thinking of the many things his wife often brought back from the mountains, he instantly had an idea.
"I have this stuff in my storage room, so there's no need to go get it from you. I'm too lazy to go. You can add some mushrooms to it. It should taste better and lighter."
After figuring out how to stew the chicken soup, both of them seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. As for what they would eat themselves, it really didn't matter. There was no need to be too particular, as long as it could fill their stomachs.
I remembered what the doctor said about drinking more brown sugar water or brown sugar eggs.
Zhou Huaian put down the half-plucked chicken in his hand and said, "You clean it up first and stew brown sugar eggs for your sister-in-law."
If you want to stew the eggs well and make them especially soft, it will definitely take a long time. It is better to cook some brown sugar eggs first for your wife to fill her stomach.
In the storage room, Zhou Huaian had already bought a large basket of eggs in advance, about a hundred eggs in total, just for his wife to eat during her confinement.
There are also chickens and ducks with their feet tied up, which are temporarily placed in a small corner of the backyard and fenced in separately. This is so that my wife can eat better during the confinement period, and she won't let her body suffer from giving birth.
The chickens Sun Rui just killed were caught in the backyard. He bought 30 of them, which can be said to be all the old hens in the village.
At the same time, people envied Su Qingxue. Everyone felt that she had good vision and married a man who was so good to her.
It's already very good if the daughter-in-law can have one or two chickens while she is in confinement after childbirth.
She is nothing like him. She buys 30 at a time. It's really enviable.
He took five eggs and left the pantry directly, went to the kitchen, and took out a bag of brown sugar from the cupboard.
When I was about to make it, I suddenly thought of adding some rice wine and red dates?
I don't remember who told me this.
But he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be no rice wine at home, but there was plenty of white wine.
It seems that I won’t be able to eat brown sugar eggs with rice wine today. Next time I will ask the aunties in the village to see if there is such a saying. If there is, I will buy it no matter how difficult it is.
Su Qingxue was in great spirits and couldn't fall asleep at all. She was playing with the two children beside her.
They didn't stop until Zhou Huaian came in with a bowl of brown sugar eggs.
Su Qingxue looked at the four eggs in the basin. Was she trying to fill herself to death by making so many eggs at once?
Her appetite had returned to normal long before she gave birth. "You can't finish so much. Bring me a bowl and I'll give you two."
"Don't eat so quickly. Eat as much as you can so you don't get hungry later. Besides, you have two children to feed. How can you have milk if you don't eat more?"
Although he was unhappy that his son was taking advantage of his wife, he was also worried that the two children would not have enough to eat.
Although compared to before giving birth, after giving birth, the two large lumps of flesh seem to be full of food and have no shortage of food for the baby.
But that was because the two children were very young. In his estimation, if the children were a few months older, they would definitely not have enough to eat.
Then he could only nourish his wife's body well first. Children don't drink milk, but their mother's blood. He didn't want his wife to suffer too much.
I am already considering weaning them off breast milk after they are four months old, since we have enough money to buy milk powder at home anyway.
"But if you eat too much, you won't be able to eat when the food is ready, right?"
"It's okay. You can eat whenever you are hungry. By the way, try to drink more soup. There is a lot of brown sugar in it. It is good for your health."
Worried that his wife would act like a spoiled brat and refuse to eat, Zhou Huaian set the table on the kang, placed the bowl on it, and then ran away.
Su Qingxue was still thinking about whether she could eat one less, and was about to discuss it with him, but before she could finish her words, he ran away.
In the end, she couldn't bear to waste food, so she ate all four eggs, including half a bowl of brown sugar water.
I was clearly full, but I didn’t feel bloated at all.
There was only one thought in my mind: it's over, a bloated stomach is not so easy to shrink.
He shouted to Zhou Huaian outside and asked him to take the bowl away.
She wanted to take it out herself, but was worried that Zhou Huaian would be angry, so she thought it better to let him get it himself!
I know that my body has almost recovered, but others may not know this, so I can understand.
Zhou Huaian had been outside paying attention to the situation inside the house. When he heard someone calling him, he hurried in.
Seeing that the bowl on the kang table was clean, he gave his wife an appreciative look.
"Wife, you are awesome."
"Zhou Huaian, can we discuss this? Don't cook so many eggs next time. Just two will be enough. If you cook too many, I'm worried that I'll get tired of them. You don't want me to get tired of them and be unable to eat them anymore, right?"
