"Sister-in-law, these are longevity locks and little bracelets for the two children." Jian Ning took the items out of her pocket and gave them to Li Mengyao.
"Thank you so much, it's so thoughtful of you. These things are hard to find these days." Li Mengyao took the items and examined them carefully, clearly liking them very much.
"We don't need to talk about this as a family. Is there enough breast milk?"
"I still have some formula, I'll bring you some more later." Jian Ning pulled up a chair and sat down, moving very gently, afraid of waking the baby.
"I have enough to eat, I'm in good health, and my two kids are very easy to take care of."
Except when hungry or uncomfortable from needing a diaper change, she rarely cries. When I get enough rest, my milk supply is naturally plentiful.
Moreover, your brother is very meticulous. He usually takes care of the two children at night. He gets up as soon as they cry. Sometimes I'm asleep and can't even hear the children crying, but your brother has already taken care of it.
I've been incredibly grateful these past few days. I'm so glad I chose to marry your brother; it was the best decision I ever made.
Seeing Li Mengyao's happy face as she spoke of Jian Anping's kindness to her, Jian Ning felt happy too.
I sat and talked to her for a while, and then the two children woke up. They had just let out their first cry...
Jian Anping ran in from the living room: "I'll do it, I'll do it. Honey, you can just lie down. It must be that Tiedan peed again. That second son is so fussy, he always makes a fuss."
"Sister-in-law, have you named the baby? What are they called?" Jian Ning was quite curious.
"The eldest is called Tiger Head, and the second is called Iron Egg. These are nicknames given to us by your brother. We'll call them that for now and think of their real names later."
Now that no one is registering my household registration, it's uncertain whether I'll be able to attend school in the future. Giving me a simple name will make it easier to raise me.
As Li Mengyao spoke, she gave a bitter smile. The future of these two children was uncertain, and it was not certain whether they would even grow up healthy. In this day and age, it's really hard to say.
"It sounds nice, like a tiger's head and a tiger's face, and it's easy to say." Jian Ning looked at her brother and quickly changed the diapers for both children.
We're using disposable diaper pads now, one after one use and we throw them away. We used cloth diapers for a few days at first, but found them inconvenient at all, since washing them uses a lot of water. Plus, they don't dry easily in the hot and humid weather.
These diaper pads are all provided by Jianning.
When Jian Anping was storing supplies, she only bought food, drinks, and daily necessities; she never thought about children.
"Xiao Ning, have some mung bean soup. I cooked it and chilled it in the refrigerator. It's great for cooling down in the summer."
Aunt Li came in carrying a large bowl of mung bean soup. There aren't many snacks at home these days. This is the only thing that can sweeten our palates.
"Thank you, Auntie. Please don't bother. We're family. Please sit down and rest for a while. My sister-in-law is so grateful for your care during her postpartum period."
Jian Ning quickly stood up and took the large bowl. It was icy cold to the touch, which felt very comfortable in the hot weather.
"This is nothing. The people we should thank the most are you and your brother. If it weren't for you taking us, the two old folks, here with you."
We may never see our two grandsons again in this lifetime. Looking at these two adorable children, our lives have been worthwhile!
"Oh right, I've made some carp soup. I'll braise two more for you at noon. Eat over here. It's been so long since you've come over for a meal."
"Okay, just make something simple, nothing too complicated."
Jian Ning hadn't eaten at Jian Anping's place for quite a while. Today was a good day to relax and not think about those headache-inducing problems.
"It's no trouble at all. I just cook a meal; I don't know how to do anything else."
I'll go upstairs in a bit to pick some green beans and stew some pork ribs. I'll also steam some egg custard for your sister-in-law; these chickens aren't laying as many eggs in this hot weather."
"Are there enough eggs? I'll bring some over and put them in the fridge later." Jian Ning hadn't really considered whether the chickens would lay eggs in the hot weather.
"There's enough to eat. I raise a lot of them. If it gets too hot, I'll turn on the air conditioning to cool them down. These are my precious pets, more valuable than myself."
After Aunt Li finished speaking, she went back to the kitchen to busy herself. Jian Ning drank the mung bean soup in her bowl, took the empty bowl to the kitchen, and looked at the flames burning continuously on the gas stove.
Suddenly, she asked, "Auntie, how can this fire be put out?"
"Why is this child being silly? Of course you have to use water to put out a fire, what else can you use?" Aunt Li said with a smile as she kept busy with her hands.
"What if the temperature is too high, like lava, ordinary water simply can't extinguish it, and I still need to retrieve something from the fire? What should I do then?"
"I don't know either. How hot is lava? Everything in it would melt. What could you possibly get from there? If you ask me..."
Unless you become hotter than it and can't be extinguished, then just be like it. If it thinks you're lava like it, then that's fine.
Aunt Li was just joking when Jian Ning's eyes lit up immediately. "That's right!"
Was I being stupid? Why did I have to fight against the lava? I could have just made it think I was one of its own kind and wouldn't have attacked me. With some defense, it wouldn't have been impossible to get through this.
"Aunt Li, you're so wonderful! I love you so much!" Jian Ning strode over and gave her a big hug before turning and running outside.
"Why is this girl acting so crazy? Don't forget to come over for dinner later."
Aunt Li poked her head out of the kitchen and called out, but before she could even see Jian Ning, she had already run out.
He passed through the wall and returned home, then immediately entered the Immortal Abode and headed straight for the Scripture Pavilion. This time, his goal was very clear: cultivation techniques related to fire.
After searching for a long time, the two books I was most satisfied with were "Mysterious Yang Blazing Fire Divine Skill" and "Nine Revolutions Burning Heaven Technique".
Just by looking at the name, this second book is already incredibly powerful; it can even burn the heavens. What kind of fire could be more powerful than that?
He sat cross-legged on the ground and started reading from the first page.
The so-called Nine Revolutions Burning Heaven is actually about opening up the nine meridians in one's own body. When one reaches the sixth meridian, one can absorb the strange fire between heaven and earth for one's own use.
Upon seeing this, Jian Ning couldn't help but laugh. This was practically a cheat sheet specially made for her to pass the level!
Although lava is extremely hot, it's not even close to the level of a strange fire; they're not even in the same league. This Nine Revolutions Burning Heaven Technique can even absorb strange fire. Dealing with this magma is a piece of cake.
I'm done looking at other options, this is the one.
Excitedly, he jumped up from the ground, grabbed the manual, and ran out.
Feeling happy, I summoned a crane, rode it and flew around in the sky twice. Looking at the vast back mountain, I thought to myself that I must go and explore it sometime to see what's inside.
This dense forest has existed for countless years, and it must be full of rare and precious materials. Of course, there are also dangers. You need to improve your own strength before you dare to go in.
