Hearing her eldest son's urgent cry, Yu Mingxiang sat up with a jolt, hurriedly put on a cotton-padded coat, and rushed out.
When Qin Weiguo saw his mother come out, he quickly followed her.
"Xiaoru has been crying while looking at the baby ever since she woke up, and I can't stop her no matter what I do..."
Yu Mingxiang: "!!!"
Hearing her son's words, her heart jumped into her throat with anxiety.
Lifting the curtain and entering the east room, Yu Mingxiang rushed to the bedside and hurriedly asked, "Xiaoru, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Waaah."
Xue Ru's eyes were red from crying. Hearing this, she looked at her mother-in-law with a pitiful expression and said, "Mom, I'm fine, it's him..."
As she spoke, Xiaoru pointed to the baby lying next to her, "He's so ugly, his head is flat and pointed, like a little monster."
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang exclaimed, "!!!"
A breath caught in his throat, neither rising nor falling.
He was so angry that he slapped his daughter-in-law's hand.
She looked at him with a mixture of speechlessness and amusement, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
“What’s wrong with my little grandson? All newborns are like this. He’ll grow out of it. As for his head shape, babies born vaginally often have slightly crooked heads, especially since your baby was breech. Don’t worry, babies have soft bones and their skull sutures are still open. Just pay attention to his sleeping position and it will correct itself quickly!”
Xue Ru: Really?
Yu Mingxiang said irritably, "You think you can just throw it away if it's fake?"
"I've seen people cry tears of joy after giving birth, but I've never seen anyone cry because their baby is ugly! You really are something else... Just wait until your child grows up and finds out about this, and see what they think of you!"
Xue Ru: "..."
Her eyes welled up with tears, and she felt like crying again.
Upon seeing this, Yu Mingxiang exclaimed: "!!!"
Knowing that new mothers are extremely sensitive psychologically after childbirth, what else can she do?
This is her own daughter-in-law, of course she has to coax her!
"Stop crying! Crying during postpartum confinement can damage your eyes. If you ruin your eyes, you won't be able to go back to the lab and do experiments."
"Can I go back to the lab?"
"Yes! It definitely can!"
"..."
It was a false alarm.
After finally managing to appease her daughter-in-law, Yu Mingxiang hurried to the front yard to cook.
Now she has to cook not only for the whole family, but also for her daughter-in-law's postpartum meals, and as for Gu Guanhai...
There are no such things as "patient meals"!
Anyway, since his daughter-in-law wanted to breastfeed and eat a low-salt, bland diet, Gu Guanhai, being a patient, could just eat the same.
She took out millet from her storage space.
The millet, stored in the space for three or four months, has now become plump and glossy, each grain a bright yellow. When cooked with spiritual spring water, the aroma is simply irresistible...
That's so domineering!
There were no greenhouses or anything like that back then, and vegetables were scarce in Northeast China during winter, mostly just cabbage and radishes.
Yu Mingxiang stir-fried a cabbage heart with shredded pork for her daughter-in-law, then stir-fried a cabbage stalk with vinegar, boiled about ten eggs, made some egg pancakes, and took out the fermented bean paste with shredded pork that she had made in advance. She divided the fragrant millet porridge in half, added brown sugar, and breakfast for the whole family was ready.
A moment later.
Gu Guanhai looked at the reddish millet porridge in front of him, and then at Yu Mingxiang who had brought the food.
"This...did you send it to the wrong address?"
If he remembers correctly, only new mothers drink millet porridge with brown sugar, right?
This must have been prepared by her for her daughter-in-law.
Yu Mingxiang glanced at him and said, "I didn't send the wrong thing. This is for you. You need to replenish your qi and blood right now."
Gu Guanhai exclaimed upon hearing this: "!!!"
Is she sure she's not just lazy and doesn't want to do anything?
Yu Mingxiang: ...
Seeing his constipated expression, I forced a smile and turned away.
Gu Guanhai watched her departing figure, raising his hand as if to call out, but...
They disappeared without a trace before giving him a chance!
He just...
Looking at those blatantly prepared postpartum meals, I was caught in an unprecedented dilemma.
Yu Mingxiang took the food to the backyard, and remembering Gu Guanhai's expression just now, she couldn't help but...
"Ha ha!"
Men eating postpartum meals!
Hahaha!
Qin Xiangdong, who was passing by, saw his mother laughing so hard she was doubled over, and asked in confusion, "Mom, what are you laughing at?"
