"No, I just feel a lot lighter on my body and head," Fang Nuo said with a smile.
"You, you just can't stand this little bit. You were supposed to be pregnant after a few more days. What do you want to do?" Aunt Dahua said
"The smell is so bad, I can't stand it myself, Auntie," Fang Nuo said quickly and aggrievedly.
"You, I don't even know what to say about you. It's all gone now. You can be more at ease in the future. Once your confinement is over, you can do whatever you want to do." Aunt Dahua said
"Yeah," Fang Nuo nodded quickly and said yes.
"Okay, take care of the child. I'll go back first," Aunt Dahua said, putting Xiao Er in her arms and holding him.
"Auntie, don't leave. Have dinner at home and then ask Brother Qi to take you back," Fang Nuo said.
"No, I don't know if your uncle and the others have cooked dinner. I have to go back and have a look," Aunt Dahua said.
"Okay, Brother Qi, my aunt is leaving, why don't you send her off?" Fang Nuo shouted outside the house.
"okay, I get it"
After Aunt Dahua walked out, she saw that Shen Gongqi wanted to give it to her, so she said, "It's not dark yet, so don't give it to me. There is the pig's trotter soup I gave Little Norton today in the kitchen. You can heat it up later." Just wait for a while and then serve it to her."
"Okay, Auntie, please walk slowly," Shen Gongqi said.
"Well, you should be busy."
After Aunt Dahua left, Shen Gongqi went to the backyard to get some vegetables for him and Yaya to eat.
When he was making dinner, he also heated up Fang Nuo's pig's feet soup, then brought one piece into the house and placed it on the Kang table, and the three of them started eating dinner.
When Fang Nuo looked at the pig's trotter soup, she felt a little nauseous. During the ten days or so when she was home for confinement, Aunt Dahua and Shen Gongqi made different kinds of soup for her every day. Every meal was either chicken soup or pig's trotter soup.
The main reason is that there is no flavor in these soups, and they are all stewed. As a postpartum woman, she can't get a dip in them, and she gets tired of them after eating them for a long time.
For the waiter's ration, she still endured nausea and ate a piece.
Seeing that there is a lot left in the bowl, if I can’t eat it today, I will have to continue eating it tomorrow.
She raised her head and looked at Shen Gongqi pitifully.
Feeling his wife's gaze, Shen Gongqi raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Brother Qi, I don't want to eat pig's trotter soup tomorrow," Fang Nuo said.
"Then you eat first, and I will eat if you can't finish it." Shen Gongqi was already familiar with this process. In the past ten days, he had eaten his wife's confinement meal.
This resulted in his wife not gaining any weight during confinement, but he himself gained several pounds.
He still works in the fields every day and has gained so much weight. If he didn't work, he would doubt that he would gain more than ten kilograms.
When Fang Nuo heard that he had agreed, he pushed the bowl in front of him towards him and said, "There is enough for me in my bowl. Eat quickly."
Then he turned to look at his daughter and asked, "Yaya, do you want to eat pig's feet?"
When little Yaya heard this, her little head almost shook and she said: "No, mom, I can just eat stir-fried vegetables."
In the past ten days, Shen Gongqi was not the only one who was persecuted by Fang Nuo's confinement meal.
Little Yaya's obviously round face proves that she hasn't eaten less in the past ten days.
At first, she was quite happy to be able to eat meat with her mother every day, but after eating for a long time, she would get tired of it.
"The little girl is picky about food now and won't eat any meat," Fang Nuo said with a smile.
"Eat quickly. Don't worry about the child. She can eat whatever she likes." Shen Gongqi was afraid that the pig's feet soup in her bowl would become more fishy when it got cold, so he asked her to eat it quickly.
"Yeah, brother Qi, you can eat it too. If you feel tired, you can get some dipping water," Fang Nuo said.
"Okay, I understand, eat quickly," Shen Gongqi said
After the family had dinner, they walked for a while. They felt they were no longer feeling strong, so they went to boil water, wash up and rest.
Because Fang Nuo had taken a shower and shaved his head today, he felt extremely comfortable, and he slept more soundly at night.
Some time later, Fang Nuo was allowed to sit in the outhouse for a while when there was no wind or sun outside.
Aunt Dahua will come over to accompany her at noon tomorrow and make confinement meals for her.
Time passed so quickly, and finally it was the last day of confinement.
"Tomorrow I will finally be liberated, otherwise I would feel stinky again," Fang Nuo said while braiding his hair.
"Tomorrow I will boil some pots of water for you, and you can wash yourself well. But you still have to be careful not to catch a cold," Shen Gongqi said.
"Yeah, I know, after the confinement period, it happens that the vegetables in our vegetable field can be harvested, the radishes can be pulled out and buried, and the cabbage can also be chopped for pickling," Fang Nuo said.
"Hmm, I'll do this then. Just take care of the two children and yourself now." Shen Gongqi was afraid that she would be tired from working in a hurry as soon as she was just out of confinement.
"I know the severity, don't worry, I will call you if I can't do it, otherwise it would be boring for me to stay at home every day," Fang Nuo said.
"Okay, then after I get off work, I will go to the mountains to prepare this year's firewood," Shen Gongqi said.
"Yeah, okay"
After breakfast and sending Shen Gongqi out for work, Fang Nuo took care of the children at home.
Today, Aunt Dahua and the others didn't let Aunt Dahua come. It's all a loss during this period. She's about to give birth, so she asked Aunt Dahua to have a rest. In two days, their family will have full moon wine for the child. From time to time, I would invite some acquaintances from the village and Shen Gongqi’s friends to come over for a casual meal.
At that time, it was inevitable to ask Aunt Dahua to help, so she was asked to rest for two days.
Fang Nuo's meals on this day were all prepared by Shen Gongqi, and she could just heat them up and eat them.
Early the next morning, after Fang Nuo woke up, he went out, poured hot water, and washed his face well.
Shen Gongqi didn't go to work today. Seeing that she was anxious, he went to boil water for her, then took her to the bathroom and asked her to take a bath while he watched the child.
Fang Nuo took a good bath for almost two hours and put on clean clothes. He felt much lighter.
When she was taking a shower, she looked at the lines on her belly and felt a little disappointed, but when she thought about having a eldest son, she felt that everything was worth it.
Fortunately, her belly has almost recovered in the past month. Her belly is not very obvious now, it is just a little fatter than before.
After taking a shower, he went into the house, hugged the waiter and said, "Our waiter is awake. Are you hungry?"
"I just changed the diaper. Maybe he's hungry. You feed him and I'll pour out the water," Shen Gongqi said.
"Okay." Fang Nuo carried the waiter to the kang and sat down. Without avoiding Shen Gongqi, he fed the waiter breast milk.
Shen Gongqi was still a little shy, so he went out carrying the diaper that the waiter had just changed.
Use Fangnuo's bath water to wash the diaper first, then add water and continue washing.
After washing, scald with boiling water to disinfect, then wring out and dry in the sun.
After Shen Gongqi finished washing the diaper, he turned around and saw Fang Nuo coming out with the baby in his arms.
"Why did you come out?" Shen Gongqi asked
"I think the sun is pretty good now, let's take the waiter to enjoy it," Fang Nuo said.
"Children have tender skin, won't they get sunburned?" Shen Gongqi asked.
