Chapter 136 Forced into marriage right after giving birth
Qin Dahe quickly stretched out his hands, and when he heard Qin Yingxue say that the second child looked like him, his smile stretched to his ears.
Even after drinking the milk, Song Shiyao was still awake, his bright black eyes darting around.
Qin Yingxue carefully placed Song Shiyao in Qin Dahe's hands. Qin Dahe tensed up, barely daring to breathe, and held the baby tightly.
"Third Brother, relax," Qin Yingxue reminded him with a smile.
"Okay, sure." Qin Dahe replied, but his whole body was still tense, as if the little treasure he was holding was a rare gem in the world.
Everyone does this the first time they hold a baby, so Qin Yingxue didn't correct her. Seeing Qin Dajiang's envious expression, she picked up the eldest child and handed him to Qin Dajiang.
"Can I hug you too?" Qin Dajiang asked excitedly, carefully extending his hands.
Taking advantage of the situation, Jiang Yueqiao, who was itching to do something, picked up her godson.
Qin Dajiang, being a father himself, was much more skilled at holding a child than Qin Dahe. After a short while, he relaxed completely.
Looking at the obedient baby in his arms, Qin Dajiang gently rocked him and began his self-introduction: "Baby, I'm your second uncle! You're the eldest brother, so when you grow up, you have to take good care of your two younger brothers! And you have to be filial to your mother; she endured so much hardship giving birth to all three of you..."
Qin Yingxue's eyes welled up with tears as she listened.
It seems that she has become more sentimental since becoming a mother.
When I'm touched by something or hear a moving sentence, I feel like crying.
She quickly took a breath to calm herself down.
Just then, Bai Haijian entered with Bai Haifeng and Yang Weijun.
Qin Yingxue distributed the candies she had prepared to them, watching them chat and laugh around the three babies.
The three treasures probably knew that today was a lively and festive day, and they all opened their bright black eyes and looked around happily.
Soon, the feast was ready, and everyone went downstairs to eat.
Zhu Huiwen also had a chance to go upstairs. She followed Qin Yingxue and Song Yanchuan, each carrying one of the three children, and went downstairs.
When they got downstairs, the three adorable babies, who looked like little angels, received unanimous praise and envy.
Even Zhang Meili, who was using Qin Yingxue's influence to intimidate her, looked at the three children with gleaming eyes and impulsively pulled Qin Yingxue aside, wanting to arrange a marriage: "My youngest daughter is only three years old this year. Although she is three years older than your son, as the saying goes, 'A daughter three years older brings good fortune'..."
Before Zhang Meili could finish speaking, Liu Chengming, who was talking to Song Yanchuan, overheard her and angrily grabbed her wrist, pulling her aside. At the same time, he said apologetically to Qin Yingxue, "Just pretend she's talking nonsense! Don't take it to heart..."
Qin Yingxue gave an awkward smile.
I never expected that I would be forced into marriage so soon after giving birth.
"If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll send you back to your hometown!" Liu Chengming glared angrily at Zhang Meili.
Zhang Meili shrank back; she wasn't going back to her hometown.
The countryside is full of chicken and dog droppings, there's nowhere to even step, let alone have a private car to pick you up and drop you off.
Today's feast was quite lavish for 1980, with a total of eight dishes: braised pork belly, stir-fried rice cakes with yellow crab, steamed small yellow croaker, garlic abalone, braised prawns, hand-torn cabbage, cucumber stir-fried with eggs, fish-flavored tofu, and three vegetarian dishes.
The staple food is rice and steamed, plump white flour buns.
On each table, there was also a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor) and a bottle of hawthorn wine.
After everyone was seated, they picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
Song Yanchuan stayed behind to greet the guests, while Qin Yingxue, Zhu Huiwen, and Jiang Yueqiao escorted the three children back upstairs.
Zhu Huiwen asked Qin Yingxue and Jiang Yueqiao to go downstairs for dinner, while she stayed behind to look after the children.
Qin Yingxue accompanied Jiang Yueqiao downstairs. When she saw Jiang Yueqiao sit down next to Ouyang Jian, Ouyang Jian considerately poured her a glass of hawthorn wine, brought two dishes from the kitchen, and took three steamed buns upstairs.
"Mom, let's eat something while the food is still hot, just to fill our stomachs first," Qin Yingxue said after setting the dishes out.
"Yingxue, I stewed some pork knuckle for you in the kitchen. You should eat the pork knuckle first." Zhu Huiwen quickly stopped Qin Yingxue when she saw that one of the dishes she brought up was stir-fried rice cake with yellow crab and the other was hand-torn cabbage.
"Mom, I'll eat the pork knuckle later." Qin Yingxue's mouth watered as she looked at the stir-fried rice cakes with yellow crab.
During her postpartum period, she mainly ate soups and broths, and they were all lightly seasoned with just a little salt.
Zhu Huiwen said that eating a light diet is beneficial for recovery and good for the body.
In her previous life, Qin Yingxue was unable to have children and therefore never experienced postpartum confinement, so she was unaware of these things.
But listening to your own mother-in-law is definitely the right thing to do.
But after eating it for more than a month, she found it tasteless.
After her postpartum period, all she wanted to eat was spicy, strongly flavored food.
The stir-fried rice cakes with yellow crab looked very appetizing, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Having spent so much time with Qin Yingxue, Zhu Huiwen naturally understood her thoughts and said with a smile, "Then eat less, we'll be having braised pork knuckle later! I added some Chinese medicine, which is said to help with breastfeeding."
"Okay." Qin Yingxue couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks and start eating.
The yellow crabs, prawns, abalone, and small yellow croakers on the table today were all delivered by Bai Haijian yesterday.
After recovering from his injury, he couldn't wait to go out to sea several times with Boss Hai's fishing boat. Whether it was due to incredible luck or some other reason, he always had the biggest catch on each trip.
After the New Year, he saved up money and bought a fishing boat.
Although it was only 60% new, it cost 2000 yuan and I bought it from Zhang San.
Although the fishing boat was simple, it had everything it needed.
Moreover, after one trip to sea, Bai Haijian discovered that this simple fishing boat was not as dilapidated as it appeared.
At least once he encountered a tsunami, and he thought he was going to die, but in the end, just before the giant waves crashed in, he held onto his last bit of determination to live and managed to steer the fishing boat away from the whirlpool...
When he bought the fishing boat, he was ridiculed by the villagers.
After that, no one dared to laugh at him anymore.
In particular, he always brings back a bumper harvest every time he goes out to sea, and now the villagers always have a fawning smile on their faces whenever they see him.
It wasn't that no one wanted to hitch a ride on his fishing boat, but Bai Haijian refused them all because the boats he found were rudimentary and he was afraid of accidents.
He always felt that his fishing boat was something special.
Even though it looks dilapidated on the outside, it's actually better than any of Boss Hai's fishing boats.
He had originally brought king crab and yellow croaker with him when his aunt finished her postpartum confinement, but Uncle Song refused and told him to sell them for money.
These were abalone, yellow croaker, and yellow crab. Uncle Song wanted to pay for them, but Bai Haijian refused. Just as the two were arguing, Qin Yingxue stepped in and persuaded Song Yanchuan to accept them.
Bai Haijian's face immediately lit up with a bright smile. After quickly saying goodbye to Qin Yingxue, he ran off in a flash.
Song Yanchuan was puzzled, but Qin Yingxue explained it to him.
“You helped him when he was at his lowest point, and now that he’s capable, he wants to repay you.”
"They are all good kids!"
Song Yanchuan said with a face full of emotion.
Even Yang Weijun...
