Chapter 185 Pig's Trotter Soup



"Look at you. You are a mother now. You have to be more sensible in the future. Do you hear me?" Seeing her daughter's expression, Mother Lu reached out and tapped her head, asking her to listen. After all, she is the mother of two children and cannot be so ignorant anymore.

"Mom, please stop talking about me. Isn't it enough that I know?" Lu Qingyan turned her head away from her mother's hand and said angrily.

"I think you have a short memory. If I tell you something now, you will forget it in three days." Seeing her daughter like that, Mother Lu knew what kind of person she was.

"Oh, Mom, go cook quickly. I want to go to bed now, too." Lu Qingyan didn't want to listen to her mother's nagging. After watching the child fall asleep, she urged her mother to go out and cook, and not to disturb her.

"Okay, you take a nap first. I'll call you when the meal is ready." Seeing her daughter's tired face, Mother Lu said nothing more and walked out

After seeing her mother leave, Lu Qingyan lowered her head to look at the child, closed her eyes with a smile on her face, and fell asleep soon after.

When Gu Mingze came back, Lu's mother had just finished cooking.

"Mom, have Xiaoyan and the children woken up since I left?" Gu Mingze went into the house, hung his coat aside, walked to the kitchen, and said to his mother-in-law.

"He woke up, fed the children, and went back to sleep." Mother Lu replied without raising her head.

"That's fine. What kind of meal did you ask me to cook? Why does it smell so good?" Gu Mingze nodded when he heard his mother-in-law say that his wife and the child had woken up.

Then he smelled the fragrant aroma of meat. He sniffed carefully, smiled and asked his mother-in-law.

"I made pig's trotter soup for Xiaoyan. Let her drink more later." Mother Lu said as she lifted the lid of the pot and stirred it with a spoon.

I saw the plump white pig's trotters in the pot, stewed until they were so tender that the bones were gone. I felt hungry just by smelling them, let alone eating them.

"This smells so good, Mom, are you ready? I'll go call Xiaoyan to eat now." Gu Mingze couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he smelled the tangy aroma of meat. Then he waited for his mother-in-law to nod and say that the meal was ready, and then he went into the house to call his wife to eat.

"Xiaoyan, wake up, wake up." Gu Mingze walked into the room and looked at the three of them sleeping soundly. He didn't have the heart to wake up his wife, but the pig's trotter soup had to be drunk while it was hot. If he drank it later, it would not taste the same.

So he could only reach out and carefully push his wife to wake her up and eat.

"I don't want to eat. Put the food in the pot and I'll eat it when I wake up and get hungry." Lu Qingyan was very sleepy now. When the man called her, she said impatiently.

"No, you have to eat. If you don't eat, it's not good for your health. Just listen to me, okay?" This was the first time that Gu Mingze refused his wife's request, because his wife was in confinement and she couldn't not eat.

"Oh, you're so annoying!" Lu Qingyan was annoyed by the man's voice. Now she saw the man still chattering in her ear. She wanted to cover the man's mouth with her hand and tell him to stop talking.

"I'm just annoyed, but you still have to get up and eat." Gu Mingze said this, stood up, and told his wife to get up quickly so that he could serve her the meal.

"It's so annoying." Lu Qingyan muttered to herself, but she slowly sat up, put the pillow against the wall, and leaned against it, yawning continuously.

"Hurry, hurry, this is the pig's trotter soup that mom just made for you." Gu Mingze brought a small bowl of pig's trotter soup and placed it on the dining table, asking his wife to drink it quickly while it was hot.

Lu Qing couldn't help swallowing when he smelled the fragrant meat aroma. He picked up the spoon, scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and put it into his mouth.

She really wanted to spit it out on the spot, but when she thought that this was something her mother had specially prepared for her body, she swallowed it.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Gu Mingze saw his wife swallowing the pig's trotter soup and asked her with a smile whether it tasted good.

"It tastes good, but the mother didn't put salt in this pig's trotter soup, so it doesn't taste the same when you drink it." Lu Qingyan pursed her lips and looked at Gu Mingze and said, "Pig's trotter soup without salt is not good. I don't want to drink it, okay?"

"No, mother said that this pig's trotter soup is good for your health, you should drink more." Although Gu Mingze didn't have the heart to hit his wife, he finally said: "Mother made half a pot of soup for you, you need a big pot after you finish this."

"Ah?" Lu Qingyan couldn't help but wail loudly when she heard the news.

It's really the feeling of having no oil or salt.

"Just bear with it. It will only take two months. You will be fine once you get through it." Gu Mingze reached out and hugged his wife, saying comfortingly.

"Okay then." Although Lu Qingyan didn't want to eat these things, she could think that eating these things was not only good for her body, but also for the two children, so she resisted the urge to vomit, blew on the soup to make it slightly hot, picked up the basin, and drank it down in big gulps.

"You've finished the soup. Do you want to eat anything else? If you want to eat anything, I'll make it for you right now." Gu Mingze watched his wife finish the soup with a painful look on her face, and asked her if she wanted to eat anything. If she did, he would make it for her.

"Forget it. Even if there is something I want to eat, it won't be cooked by you without oil or salt. In that case, I might as well eat what my mother cooks." When Lu Qingyan heard the man's words, she waved her hand and refused.

"There's millet porridge and eggs in the kitchen. Would you like some?" Hearing this, Gu Mingze had no choice but to stop asking his wife what she wanted to eat. He just said there was millet porridge and eggs in the kitchen. If she wanted to eat them, he would cook some for her.

"I don't want to eat anything now. You go out to eat. I want to sleep for a while." Lu Qingyan was full of the big bowl of soup. Her stomach was bloated and she couldn't eat anything. So she asked the man to go out to eat and she wanted to sleep.

"Okay, I'll go eat first. Call me if you need anything later." Seeing that his wife really had no intention of eating, Gu Mingze gave her a few instructions and turned to leave.

"Mingze, how is it? Did Xiaoyan drink all the pig's trotter soup?" Mother Lu asked hurriedly when she saw her son-in-law coming out.

"She drank it all, but she disliked the taste of this drink without oil or salt." After saying this, Gu Mingze looked at his mother-in-law who opened her mouth, wanting to say something but not daring to. She could only stand there and whimper.

"Just say whatever you want to say, don't look like that." Mother Lu couldn't stand the look on her son-in-law's face, so she told him to just say whatever he wanted to say, and not to be so gruff in front of him.

"Mom, when can Xiaoyan eat something with oil and salt?" Gu Mingze asked directly when he saw his mother-in-law.

"More than two months later. Wait."
