Xu Niannian tapped his chin and saw that he was frowning, so she wanted to tease him:
"What if, what if I'm pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl, one looks like you and one looks like me? I can't treat them differently then."
Favoring boys over girls or girls over boys is not allowed, at least in their family.
"Giving birth to two children at once, Comrade Xiao Xu is really lazy."
Xu Niannian pursed her lips. Twins are not lazy. During pregnancy, they have to endure more hardships than single babies, and they may be born a few weeks prematurely.
"It's better to just have one child, otherwise your head will throb from all the noise."
But neither of them expected how many children Xu Niannian would have in the end.
Xu Niannian moved her body and accidentally hit his knee, and heard Lu Huaijin groan.
"What's wrong? Did I hurt you?" She suspected that the man was still injured and her expression became serious.
He reached out to untie his clothes.
Being grabbed by Lu Huaijin's wrist:
"Don't be like that."
Xu Niannian also became serious:
"Let go, I want to see."
Lu Huaijin had no choice but to let go of his hand. Xu Niannian lifted up his clothes and found that he also had a lot of bruises on his body. Probably in order not to make her worry, he didn't tell her.
"Wait a minute. I'll get some hot water from the kitchen to wipe your body."
Lu Huaijin sat up:
"I'll go."
"If you keep doing this I'll send you back to the hospital."
After wiping his body, Xu Niannian took out a bottle of medicinal wine from the cabinet next to him.
This bottle of medicinal wine is considered to be the highest level of medicinal wine in this space, with the longest medicinal materials and preparation time.
Xu Niannian poured some medicinal wine on his body and pressed it with his palms, repeating the action until the wine was absorbed by his skin.
After she did this, the swelling and burning sensation on his body disappeared. Now he felt cool on the outside and warm on the inside, and his whole body felt comfortable.
The white and tender little hands wandered over his body.
Lu Huaijin slowly closed her eyes. It had been a long time since she felt so relaxed. It seemed that all the meridians in her body had been explored by her.
When Xu Niannian was sweating from pressing the tip of her nose, she realized that Lu Huaijin was almost asleep.
After finishing the last bit of work, she took out another quilt. He reeked too much of alcohol and she couldn't sleep in the same bed with him.
When Lu Huaijin was about to fall asleep, he always felt that he was too impatient before and was expecting the other party to get pregnant.
During this pregnancy, I have to eat vegetarian food again, and I will be a vegetarian for a whole year.
After giving birth to this baby, it’s better to get some measures.
The next morning, Xu Niannian got up and made breakfast.
She plans to make a clay pot rice and drink some bone soup today. She made a reservation for the rice cooker in her space yesterday. Now the corn, winter melon and pork ribs soup is ready, so she can just take out the bones later.
Her sausage is Sichuan style, slightly spicy, but when paired with mushrooms and potatoes, the spicy taste is immediately neutralized.
The fragrance drifted far away.
Da Niu and Er Niu got up early in the morning, but they were too embarrassed to come over directly when they smelled the fragrance in the yard.
Lu Ze woke up when he smelled the fragrance and ran directly to the kitchen to see his aunt cooking.
Xu Niannian glanced at his chubby face, which seemed to still have saliva on it, and urged him:
"Go and call your brother to wash up together. The food will be ready soon. After washing up, go next door to call Da Niu, Er Niu and the others."
Normally, Lu Ze would immediately run to take a shower after hearing this, but today he didn't move.
Xu Niannian stopped what he was doing:
"Zeze, what happened today?"
"Tomorrow is my brother's birthday. Can auntie make him some noodles?"
It turned out that he didn't understand. It was only after he became familiar with Da Niu and Er Niu that his mother made longevity noodles for Er Niu on his last birthday.
He then remembered that when he was three years old, his grandmother also made longevity noodles for him.
But my younger brother seems to have not eaten it yet.
"You said longevity noodles, sure. Yilin is going to be three years old soon? What about you?"
Seeing that his aunt agreed, Lu Ze nodded happily:
"Yeah, my fourth birthday has been a month or two past."
At the beginning, I wasn’t that familiar with my aunt and was too embarrassed to tell her.
Xu Niannian stayed for a while:
"Okay, Lu Ze, you can tell me anything from now on. You can invite your good friends to your house tomorrow. Tell me how many people are coming tonight and I will prepare for you."
Lu Ze's eyes lit up. Is this still possible?
"Isn't it too much trouble? Auntie has to take care of uncle and do all this. Just make him some noodles."
"It's not a problem, dear. Go wash up. The food is ready."
They talked for a long time and without waiting for Lu Ze to call Erniu and the others, Xu Niannian put out the fire and went straight to the next door to call for help.
Erniu and the others were sitting in the yard in a daze.
Hearing the knock on the door, he ran out immediately:
"Hello, Aunt Xu."
Xu Niannian asked them:
"Have you finished washing up? It's time to eat."
"Okay Auntie!"
They were ready early in the morning and immediately followed Xu Niannian into the yard.
Xu Niannian divided the food into two portions. She and Lu Huaijin ate in the house, and let the children eat in the yard.
It was the first time for Da Niu and Er Niu to eat clay pot rice. They asked in surprise:
"What's this?"
Lu Ze was in a good mood today. His aunt had done this for them once before, so he immediately replied:
“Claypot rice.”
But then, the four children all buried their heads in eating.
I tasted the salty aroma of potatoes mixed with rice, and only breathed a sigh of relief after eating half a bowl:
"Your aunt is so nice."
The last time Lu Ze heard Erniu say this, he heard that he wanted to exchange aunts with him.
So Lu Ze immediately stared at Erniu:
"My aunt is only my aunt. You should find a partner for your uncle as soon as possible. You are always staring at other people's families."
Erniu was swallowing rice grains when his words got stuck in his throat. He was reluctant to spit it out, so he swallowed it down forcefully.
"No, I thought about it, I don't see my uncle every day, it's better to be neighbors, so I can see Aunt Xu every day."
When Xu Niannian came out to get the soup, she heard Lu Ze's angry words and held back her laughter:
"Lu Ze, come in and serve the soup."
The soup was still a little hot, so I didn’t serve it out.
Lu Ze obediently went in and brought his own soup. Da Niu and Er Niu also went into the kitchen and brought their own soup.
After we sat down, Erniu started to flatter again:
"The rice and soup are so delicious. Aunt Xu, you are amazing."
Xu Niannian smiled:
"There's still some in the big porcelain basin. If you don't have enough, go in and scoop it out for yourself."
Lu Ze reflected on himself and realized that he was still not as sweet-talking as Erniu, so he decided to learn from him and win back the game in the future.
Lu Huaijin is much better today, and he eats by himself in the house without being fed:
"I could actually go out to eat."
"Our table is small, and it'll be a bit crowded if you go out, so just eat here."
Lu Huaijin glanced at the other quilt on the bed:
"Why did you sleep in separate beds last night?"
