Before she could say anything, Wang Lijuan saw her, walked over quickly with a smile, and said, "Sister-in-law, why are you waiting at the door?"
"Didn't I look at the time and see that it's almost west o'clock and I saw that you guys haven't come yet, so I came out to take a look. I just saw you coming when I came out," Fang Nuo said with a smile.
"Our Doudou has just woken up, otherwise we would have been here a long time ago. As you know, you can't hug people while sleeping, otherwise they will cause trouble after interrupting their nap," Wang Lijuan said
"I know, come inside and sit down quickly. Your brother and the others are cooking. We'll have dinner in a minute." Fang Nuo pulled her into the courtyard, and Haiyang followed behind with Doudou in his arms.
The three of them entered the main room and sat down. Haiyang saw that he was the only male here, so he gave Doudou to Wang Lijuan, and he also went to the kitchen to help serve the food.
"Hey, I haven't seen you for a while. Sister-in-law, why has your waiter lost weight?" Wang Lijuan asked.
"I haven't lost weight yet. The weight is still there. During this period, I added some complementary foods to the child, so the meat became firmer," Fang Nuo replied.
"Well, he's just over seven months old now. Why are you giving him complementary food? Can the child absorb it?" Wang Lijuan asked.
"Yes. Generally, a child can eat some complementary food after six months. Otherwise, milk alone will not be enough to provide him with the nutrients his body needs to grow," Fang Nuo said.
"There is such a saying. No wonder I said that my Doudou hasn't grown much in the past few months. Sister-in-law, what do you usually feed your children?" Wang Lijuan asked
"Feed some rice cereal, or a small amount of meat or vegetables, mince it very finely, and cook it for the child to eat. If you want to feed it, just mix it with it. Otherwise, give him steamed eggs. He should have a meal now." It’s only more than half an egg,” Fang Nuo said.
"This, I don't understand any of this..." Wang Lijuan said
"I'm going to make steamed egg custard for the waiter later. If you don't know how, I'll teach you later," Fang Nuo said.
"The relationship is good, I would like to thank you first, sister-in-law," Wang Lijuan said with a smile.
"Thank you. We are all mothers. We should communicate with each other about things that are good for our children," Fang Nuo said.
"Hmm, I still don't understand a lot, and I'll have to ask my sister-in-law for advice then," Wang Lijuan said.
Fang Nuo: "Okay, your first child is like this. When I first gave birth to Yaya, I also figured it out little by little. Fortunately, Yaya was a very well-behaved child at that time and didn't make any noise at all. People, you can eat whatever you give them.”
Wang Lijuan: "Your Yaya is very well-behaved now. Every time I see her, I want to have another daughter."
Fang Nuo: "Then let's give birth. Anyway, the one in your arms is almost ready to walk now."
Wang Lijuan: "I alone have the final say whether I will give birth or not."
Seeing that she was a little shy, Fang Nuo smiled and joked: "How about I ask your brother to talk to Haiyang..."
Wang Lijuan blushed even more when she was told: "Oh, sister-in-law, you know how to make fun of me."
After she and Haiyang gave birth to Doudou, Haiyang had to go to work every day. As a new mother, she was also very busy taking care of the baby every day. Both of them were very tired during the day. After going to bed at night, they fell asleep. It had been a long time. Not doing that anymore.
She had some needs during this time, but she didn't know how to mention it to Haiyang, and she was embarrassed, so she continued her previous life.
She had just been married for more than a year. After getting married, she moved out to live alone, so she had never been influenced by the ladies in the village. She still felt shy about talking about such topics with others.
"Hahaha, okay, I won't do it if I don't say it anymore," Fang Nuo said with a smile.
When Shen Gongqi walked in, he heard his wife laughing loudly, so he walked in and asked, "What are you two talking about? You are laughing so happily."
"Let's talk about women's topics. What do you want to hear?" Fang Nuo said.
"No, I don't want to" Shen Gongqi quickly refused.
"I thought you wanted to hear it, so I planned to tell you. Are your dishes ready?" Fang Nuo asked.
"Well, you can start eating after you put it on the table," Shen Gongqi said.
"Have you made dumplings? Didn't I say you eat dumplings during the holidays?" Fang Nuo asked, looking at the dishes on the table.
"You don't have to eat it. Didn't you steam the rice dumplings? There are no dumplings," Shen Gongqi said.
"Okay, let's go wash our hands and eat. Can your Doudou sit on his own?" Fang Nuo asked Wang Lijuan.
"Not yet, but you can play on your stomach by yourself."
"Then put the two brothers on the mattress in the back to play by themselves. Let's eat first." Fang Nuo said. He put the boy on the mattress first, then turned around and took Doudou. He placed the two children side by side and took two from one side. A small toy was given to each person and let them play with it by themselves.
The adults washed their hands. Shen Gongqi took Yaya to wash their hands. After washing, they all sat on the kang and sat in a circle around the kang table.
When everyone is seated, we start eating.
Wang Lijuan saw the braised pork and asked Fang Nuo: "Sister-in-law, what kind of food is this?"
"This is my specialty, the braised food platter. Try it. Here are pig ears and pork cheeks. Here are pork liver, pig heart, and pig intestines. Here are pork belly. See if you like it. Whatever you eat, you can pick it up yourself," Fang Nuo and Wang Lijuan introduced.
Wang Junyu had eaten it two years ago, so when he started eating, he had already picked it up and ate it.
Wang Lijuan first picked up a piece of pork cheek and tried it. After chewing it for a few times, she was pleasantly surprised and said: "Well, it's really delicious. The meat is glutinous and has a unique aroma. It's delicious."
Haiyang heard that his wife said it was delicious, so he took a piece and tasted it, and also gave her affirmative words.
Fang Nuo: "There are also soy sauce beef and pork rind jelly here. You all should try it. This dipping dish is accompaniment."
Several people also tried it, and the results were all very delicious, so they speeded up picking up the food.
"Well, sister-in-law, your craftsmanship is better. Every time my mother makes braised food, compared with yours, I always feel that the taste is a little bit inferior," Wang Junyu said.
"Your mother can actually do it," Wang Lijuan said
"My sister-in-law taught me this. We ate it during the Chinese New Year every year for the past two years," Wang Junyu said.
Wang Lijuan looked at Fang Nuo with starry eyes and said, "Sister-in-law..."
"I saved the marinade today. You can take it back with you when the time comes. Clean and put whatever you want to marinate in it. Marinate it and soak it overnight, and then it's ready. Just soak the vegetables in it for a few minutes, and then you can take them out and eat them." Fang Nuo said
"I knew you were the best, sister-in-law," Wang Lijuan said happily.
"Eat the food quickly. You must eat more today, otherwise our whole family won't be able to finish the food, and it will be wasted by then." Fang Nuo urged a few people to pick up the food.
"Yeah, yeah, we definitely won't give you any leftovers from such a delicious dish."
Sure enough, at the end of the meal, there weren't many dishes left.
Fang Nuo asked Wang Junyu to help carry the waiter, and took Shen Gongqi to the kitchen. He cut one or two taels of cold vegetables into a bowl, put three bowls in them, put them in a basket, and put six rice dumplings on them.
