Regarding Wang Shuanzi's body, and what happened in the couple's boudoir... Yang Ruoqing really couldn't answer this, and couldn't think of anything to do for Wang Shuanzi, so she could only change the topic.
"Auntie, don't worry. As long as they are taught well, I believe that big white and little black will be successful in the future." Yang Ruoqing said.
Yang Huamei nodded: "I hope so."
After entertaining Yang Huamei casually in the main room for a while, Wang Cuilian came over.
"Qing'er, the chicken soup is ready." She reminded with a smile and said hello to Yang Huamei.
Yang Huamei said: "Qing'er, your aunt really loves you. She specially made chicken soup for you to drink."
Yang Ruoqing smiled: "The whole family drinks. I have gained weight this winter. How can I dare to drink more?"
"You're not fat, you're just right." Yang Huamei looked at Yang Ruoqing and said.
The Qing'er in front of her was obviously about two or three years older than herself, but standing together, Yang Huamei clearly felt that she was really her aunt and nephew.
Hey, this woman who is nourished by a man is different. Her whole body is fresh and bright, like a flower.
A woman who is not nourished by a man will wither. She is only twenty-seven, not thirty, pitifully.
"Auntie, do you want to stay and have a bowl of chicken soup?" Yang Ruoqing's voice brought Yang Huamei out of her gloom.
Yang Huamei shook her head: "No, thank you."
Yang Ruoqing said: "Then I will scoop out a bowl and give it to Third Sister-in-law. She came back from the hospital last night. She is in confinement right now and needs nourishing."
Yang Huamei nodded: "The brown sugar and donkey-hide gelatin that the landlady sent me last night will be delivered to her daughter when she washes the Nine Dynasties."
Goodbye.
Yang Ruoqing came to the backyard and filled three bowls of chicken soup. Of course, even if it was chicken soup, there was something in it.
Chicken, mushrooms, etc.
Then he gave one bowl to Feng'er, one bowl to Ga Gong Lao Suntou, and the third bowl to Zhao Liu'er.
There was also a bit of excitement in Yang Yongzhi's house in the old Yang family's house.
Zhao Liuer was sitting there with a windproof handkerchief wrapped around her head. In front of the bed was a cradle, with the little girl lying in the cradle.
Jin, Liu, Liao Meiying and Li Xiuxin are all there.
Jin and Liu gathered around the cradle and looked at the fat girl who was said to weigh more than eight pounds at birth, while Liao Meiying was talking to Yang Yongzhi there.
As for Li Xiuxin, she was sitting sideways on the bed with Xiu'er in her arms, talking to Zhao Liu'er about having children and raising daughters.
Although the heads of the family, Lao Yangtou and Mr. Tan, were not there to cheer, the atmosphere in the room was particularly good.
"Wow, it's really lively in this room today. I'm here to join in the fun."
Yang Ruoqing entered the room with a smile.
Zhao Liuer looked here with a smile, while Yang Yongzhi came directly to Yang Ruoqing.
"Qing'er, what are you..." His eyes fell on the food box in her hand.
"I'm stewing an old hen at home today, and I'll bring a bowl of chicken soup to my third sister-in-law to make milk." Yang Ruoqing said.
Hearing this, Yang Yongzhi's eyes lit up.
"Old hen soup? This is really good stuff. Qing'er, you're interested." Yang Yongzhi said without any politeness, and directly reached out to take it.
Yang Ruoqing said: "It's hot. If Third Sister-in-law can drink it now, she can drink it now."
Yang Yongzhi looked towards Zhao Liuer, intending to consult.
Zhao Liuer smiled and said, "I just ate the Shuipu eggs made by my sister-in-law. I'm not hungry at all now."
Liao Meiying also smiled and said: "Then let Yongzhi put away the chicken soup first, and grab two taels of noodles to cook later. The noodles simmered in the chicken soup are also very nourishing and will not make you hungry."
Yang Ruoqing also nodded: "Sister-in-law, this is a good idea. Third brother, please put it away first. Be careful not to let the mice touch it."
When talking about this mouse, Yang Ruoqing's eyes flickered and she glanced towards Mrs. Liu.
It's a pity that Yang Yongzhi was so attracted by the surprise brought by this chicken soup that he failed to realize Yang Ruoqing's hint in time.
Yang Ruoqing couldn't make a choice, so she came to the cradle and looked at the little girl for a while.
"I haven't seen you for two or three days. This little girl has grown again." She said.
Zhao Liuer leaned forward and said with a smile: "She has to breastfeed seven or eight times a day and poop three or four times a day. How can she stop growing? I'm a little worried that she's growing too fast!"
Mrs. Liu said: "What's wrong? It's good if the child can eat, sleep, and be strong. You have to be like Xiu'er, then you don't have to worry about it, right?"
Li Xiuxin said hurriedly: "Isn't that right? My Xiu'er's body is so weak due to the shortcomings she brought from her mother's womb. If she eats too much, she will vomit, if she eats too little, she will cry from hunger, if she eats hard, she will be constipated, and if she eats too little, she will suffer from diarrhea. …”
"Hey, besides, my milk is just like plain water. It's not nourishing, so the baby will never gain weight!"
Mrs. Liu added: "Your milk is not nourishing. That's because you haven't eaten anything nourishing."
"Otherwise, why would those rich families give the wet nurse six or seven meals a day, as well as all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas? It's just for the milk. All the good food the wet nurse eats will eventually turn into milk and be drank by the child. It’s in the belly!”
Li Xiuxin nodded.
Liu changed the subject and turned his attention to Liao Meiying: "Mei Ying, you are the mistress of the big house. Although Xiu'er was not born in your belly, she is Yongxian's first child."
"If you think about Yongxian and Xiu'er, get more good things for Xiu Xin to nourish her!"
Liao Meiying smiled gently and said: "Thank you, Fourth Aunt, for your concern. Xiu'er is Yongxian's child, so naturally he is my child. My love for Xiu'er was visible to you, Fourth Aunt, a while ago. It's a pity that I can't cut it out from my body." Let’s feed the children meat.”
"Now that Sister Xiuxin is back, although Yongxian told me to be diligent and thrifty in running the house and not to be extravagant and wasteful, I still secretly used my dowry to buy fish and meat to replenish Sister Xiuxin's health. The girl can eat more, and Xiu'er can have more milk."
"Ah, are you so kind to Xiuxin? You also spend your own dowry to serve food? Then why haven't I seen your big house lavishing food and fish in the past few days?" Ms. Liu asked again.
No one in the room spoke. Yang Ruoqing and Zhao Liu'er exchanged glances and looked at Liu, Liao Meiying, and Li Xiuxin.
Li Xiuxin hugged Xiu'er and pretended that the matter had nothing to do with her, while Mrs. Liu stared at Liao Meiying with a half-smile, waiting for her answer.
Liao Meiying smiled faintly and said calmly: "It's not about big fish or meat. Both I and Yongxian advocate being diligent and frugal in running a household, but they also want to nurse their children, so I prepare meat and fish dishes for every meal."
"If Fourth Aunt doesn't believe it, you can ask my mother-in-law and Fu'er. If you don't believe it, you can go to the kitchen of the big house and see. There is a pair of crucian carp in the bucket and a piece of pig liver in the cupboard. These are all for Xiuxin prepared it!"
