"Don't block the door, let me go in and take a look." Ye Yaodong happily carried the child into the house.
Lin Xiuqing had a piece of cloth wrapped around her head and lay there looking at him with a big smile on her face, "Luckily the baby was born. I was almost worried to death. Now I am finally relieved."
"It was born just in time. Fortunately, it happened quickly."
"She's already had several children, isn't that fast?"
Ye Yaodong put the child next to her pillow and showed him to her, "You've worked hard. Are you tired? Does it still hurt? Are you hungry?"
She smiled and shook her head, "It won't hurt after giving birth."
Mother Ye also slapped her forehead at this time, "Look at my memory. I just said I would stew eggs for you, but I forgot. Giving birth is very tiring, and it's almost time for dinner. I'll stew two eggs for you to fill your stomach..."
"I have prepared the meal..."
"Then I'll stew two eggs for you to go with the rice," Ye's mother said, then turned to Ye's father and said, "Hurry up and go get the bucket of eggs I saved, and the biggest pot of postpartum wine, the 20-jin one."
In the local area, women have to drink confinement wine during the confinement period. This wine needs to be brewed several months in advance. It is actually rice wine, but it is specially made for postpartum women to drink to warm the uterus.
During the confinement period, rice wine is added to everything cooked.
"Hey." Father Ye responded and hurried back to get it.
When A Guang saw that the baby was born safely and there was nothing left for him to do, he said he would go back.
Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Ye cleaned up all the things left after the birth in the house and went back to their own homes to prepare dinner.
The old lady also helped to invite the two children to eat first, allowing them to talk slowly in the house.
Ye Yaodong touched the child's face with joy, then touched the child's hand, feeling like he couldn't look at the child enough.
"It's a daughter. Are you happy?" Lin Xiuqing was very happy seeing the surprised look on his face.
"Of course, luckily it's not a son. Two would be too many for me. If there's another one, I won't be able to handle it."
"Tsk~ I was the one who beat her, you just fanned her and handed her the whip. Stop touching her and let her sleep. She will grow faster if she sleeps more."
Ye Yaodong happily took his hand back, "She's just been born, and you want her to grow up fast. Is she hungry? Her mouth is so wide open, and she's looking around."
"Let me see."
Lin Xiuqing raised her head and took a look. The child just opened his mouth and kept licking the blanket. She smiled and said, "What a glutton. He wants to eat right after he is born."
"Isn't it time for dinner? She will be hungry too, feed her quickly."
"Um."
They were an old couple, so Lin Xiuqing didn't act pretentiously and started breastfeeding in front of him.
Ye Yaodong didn't have any evil thoughts. It's not like he hadn't seen or eaten anything like it before.
Watching his daughter eating with relish and making smacking sounds, he couldn't stop smiling.
"Look, she's starving. She eats so eagerly."
"The baby hasn't been named yet."
"Oh yeah, what do you think it should be called?"
The couple had always been worried that the child would not be born. Ye Yaodong still had the shadow of his past life, so neither of them dared to think too much about it and had not really decided what to name the child.
"Shall I take it?"
He thought for a while and said, "Let's wait. Let mom find a fortune teller to calculate my birth date and time tomorrow. Then I can get whatever I need."
"OK."
After the two talked for a while, Ye's mother came in with the food.
"Are you breastfeeding? Is it ready? If not, pull it out first."
"Wait a minute, she just ate."
"It's okay, the adults should eat first. Only after you eat, you will have milk to feed her. Otherwise, the food will get cold. You can't eat cold food. Dongzi should eat first too. Your two sons are about to fight over food. The old lady won't have time to peel the food."
"You two bastards, you're itching for trouble..." Ye Yaodong cursed and walked out.
The old lady was peeling shrimps for them. There was already a pile of shells on the table and she was too busy to peel them. The two of them were yelling with their mouths open.
"My... My..."
"It's mine... You've already taken a bite..."
"You eat a lot..."
The old lady smiled kindly, her face rosy, and she didn't mind the two quarreling at all, "Don't worry, there's food for everyone, there's so much, take turns to have a bite each."
"Why spoil them? They can't even peel the fruit in time to eat it. Ye Chenghu is so old, but he can't peel it. If he can't peel it, then don't eat it."
"Oh, they are still little, how could they do that? The thorns here will cut their mouths. I will peel them slowly for them, and you can eat yours."
"Just let them eat by themselves, and you can eat too. There are meals available."
"Don't worry, I'm not hungry. How can the two children eat properly without anyone to feed them?" The old lady smiled and peeled out another piece of meat, then cut it in half and put a piece in each child's mouth. Only then did the two children take a mouthful of rice contentedly and then continued to wait.
Ye Yaodong shook his head and said, "Let me peel it."
"I'll do it, I'll do it. Go get some food. You've been out at sea all day. Go eat quickly or you'll starve."
"It's okay. It won't take a while." He glared at his two sons again, "Eat quickly. Don't dawdle. You can go see your sister after you finish eating."
When they heard that they could go see their sister, they immediately picked up spoons and started digging, not even waiting for anyone to feed them.
"Eat slowly, don't rush..."
A bowl of rice is finished in no time at all, and no side dishes are needed.
"Ah? You finished eating so quickly? Are you full? Eat a little more?" The old lady was still peeling half of the bananas when two of them slipped off the table. "Then finish this one. I've already peeled them..."
The two of them ran straight into the house without even looking back. The old lady looked at Ye Yaodong complainingly, "Look at you, why are you urging them? You ran away without even eating your meal properly."
"It's good to be full. They won't starve. I'll pack you some food."
"Don't worry, you eat first, I'll go back and eat later, your mother has already prepared the meal."
"Just eat here. There's food available, so you won't run out of food."
"You should eat more. Going out to sea is very tiring. You went out at night and have been sleeping and eating all day. You also have to pull the nets and do physical work all the time. It's too hard. Tomorrow, ask your mother to kill a chicken for A-Qing, and you can eat some to replenish your body..."
Ye Yaodong handed a full bowl of rice to the old lady and sat down himself.
Before I even picked up the rice bowl, the old lady pushed the rice in the bowl back to me and said, "Why are you filling so much for me? I can't finish it all. You need to do manual labor, so eat more..."
"Eat yours, there's more."
"You eat, you eat..."
Ye Yaodong had no choice but to bring a large bowl of rice covered with a plate next to the stove to the table to show her. There was still some rice left in it, enough to fill another bowl and a half.
"See? Are you worried that there won't be enough food? Just eat yours."
The old lady smiled and said, "You eat, you eat, I've had enough..."
He shook his head and ignored her, only picking up a few more dishes for her. All the nutrients were in the dishes.
Ye's mother stayed in the house and watched the child for a while before coming out. "Tomorrow I have to ask someone to go to your mother-in-law's house to tell them that Aqing has given birth. I also have to buy some more duck eggs, red eggs."
"Okay, I see. Take some time these two days to calculate the child's birth date."
"Okay, you have to buy some things from Secretary Chen and walk around a bit to see if you can get a smaller fine."
He nodded. The amount of the fine was not decided by Secretary Chen alone, but he would definitely have to prepare a generous gift and go to the door to express his gratitude.
One life for another, he saved Secretary Chen's eldest grandson, and Secretary Chen repaid him, and both little lives were saved.
The old lady also reminded: "Buy more things and send them over, thanks to Secretary Chen."
"I know, do you want to eat here, mother?"
"No, the family has cooked dinner. I'll go back to eat first and come back to clean up after dinner. Remember not to let Qing touch water. If the child needs to change diapers, you should learn how to help change them. Otherwise, we don't live together now, and I won't be able to come over to change them at night."
"Oh, I see."
I also need to learn how to change diapers...
Are you training him to be a nanny
The opportunity is coming soon...
Not long after Ye's mother left, Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang ran out screaming and pinching their noses, "Ah, it stinks... Dad... My sister has pooped... So disgusting..."
Ye Yaodong still had a mouthful of rice in his mouth. He chewed it twice and swallowed it before getting up.
The old lady stood up first and said, "I'll do it. You eat yours. How can a grown man like you change diapers?"
"fine."
If you don't change it now, I'll have to help change it at night. It'll be done sooner or later.
But now that the old lady was there, it was not his turn to do anything. He just helped to add some warm water and watched the old lady change the baby's diaper.
The two children stood far away, curious and wanting to see, but also feeling disgusted, and just kept looking there~
Ye Yaodong also felt that he couldn't eat the rest of the meal.
The child cried for a while, but stopped after his diaper was changed.
"Just thunder but no rain!" he said jokingly with a smile.
Ye Chenghu waited until she was done pooping before taking a closer look. He then said with disdain, "You don't have any tears at all. You're just pretending to cry!"
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "She is still young, where do the tears come from?"
"Eh~ You're not sleeping anymore? You opened your eyes." Ye Yaodong looked at her curiously, "You have double eyelids... like you..."
The old lady smiled and said, "The nose is like Dongzi, and the mouth is also like Dongzi."
"It's so small, with such a small nose and mouth, can you tell?"
Why didn't he notice it
"Yes, he looks exactly like you when you were a child, with a high nose and a small mouth. He was so cute..."
Ye Chenghu also looked at the old lady with suspicion, "What's so beautiful about her? She's so ugly!"
"It will look nice when it grows longer."
Ye Yaodong was ashamed. How could he have such a high nose bridge when he was so tiny? His mouth was open so wide when he was howling before!
The old lady has her own filter, she really loves the person and everything about him.
The old lady smiled and said, "Really, the daughter looks like her father. Her mouth shape is exactly the same as yours..."
"Yeah. You're right. Both of my sons look like Qing. It's time for my daughter to look like me."
