Raising Babies in the 70s - Chapter 112

Qin Rou followed Lu Yan for a walk on the beach, and asked him if he played family with others when he was a child.

Lu Yan was at a loss, “Why do you think I will play this with people?”

“Just asking, the little childrens are playing it these days.”

Qin Rou poked his belly, “If you didn’t play this, then what did you play?”

Lu Yan made a pistol gesture with his right hand, “Of course it’s a game between men, fighting.”

“Destroy the enemy.”

Qin Rou nodded, “It sounds really cool.”

Lu Yan: “I never picked up the traitor card.”

Qin Rou: “…”

It seemed that it was no different from playing family, but it was a crime one.

“My fourth brother always got the traitor card, and my third sister shot him seriously. She liked to shoot the traitor the most.”

“And you’ll be watching?”

“I’ll pass the gun.”

Qin Rou was a little envious of him having so many siblings. It must be very lively.

She was pregnant with twins at the moment, and when the children would be born, it didn’t matter even if they were drama elites, maybe they could perform a two-person show.

It would be hilarious to watch.

Lu Yan put his arms around her waist, bowed his head and kissed her forehead. The sea behind her gently slapped on the beach, and the sea breeze became stronger at that time, blowing their clothes. Qin Rou was holding her hair that was hanging down.

“What about you? What did you like to play when you were a child?”

“Skipping rope, I have a good waist and could jump very high.”

Lu Yan looked at her for a while with a smile, and commented with conviction, “Good.”

Qin Rou pinched his waist, “What are you thinking of?”

“Tell me, do you think Brother Lu’s body is good?”

“Not good.”

“Then I have to practice harder, as I can’t make my wife dislike it.”

“Don’t make trouble, just wait. Once the children are home, I will let you be the traitor when they play.”

“I want to be a grandpa. Grandpa Lu has to guard Grandma Qin…”

Qin Rou’s belly was getting bigger. Although it was less difficult than at the beginning of pregnancy, at this stage, the belly had entered a period of rapid growth like blowing a balloon, and the suddenly enlarged belly had also caused many inconveniences in life.

She also had a little edema. She soaked her feet in warm water every day. Her mother-in-law Jiang Ping, who was a doctor, would also massage her. If Lu Yan came back, he would take over the job.

He would accompany her to take a bath and trim her nails after the bath. As long as Lu Yan was by her side, he would never let her put on her own shoes. Qin Rou was used to him helping her put on shoes.

Before going to bed, he would rub her back and shoulders, massage her legs and feet, and kiss her in various ways while massaging. In the past, she always felt that kissing too frequently was too sticky, but being kissed by someone she liked could indeed increase the feeling that she was valued by him.

Just like massage, it may only relieve a little, but it was more psychological satisfaction and pleasure.

Qin Rou was quite afraid that she would become ugly when she was pregnant. For a while, she didn’t dare to look in the mirror and didn’t want to take pictures, but Lu Yan insisted on taking pictures of her. Well, there was nothing else she could do. Qin Rou could only face her true self.

But after she looked in the mirror, she found that she had not turned ugly. On the contrary, she was still a little radiant, maybe it was because she was in a good mood.

It may also be because she was a little pig that was well cared for.

Another reason was that the natural diet was healthy. In that era, unhealthy food wasn’t around. Anyway, junk food such as fried chicken and cola was definitely out of reach, but one could eat all kinds of fresh seafood by the sea to supplement protein. Especially shrimp and fish, they were all steamed and boiled.

Lu Yan and her mother-in-law had stopped her from entering the kitchen. Lu Yan, who could only make steamed buns, would try to make casserole rice for her. Although the failure rate was high, he would give her the delicious part to eat. If it didn’t taste good, then he ate it himself.

In the morning, she also drank milk with the childrens, which made her body smell of milk. Her mother-in-law would accompany her to and from work. Qin Rou was no longer arranged as an announcer, but to the light logistics.

She couldn’t do a lot of things, so that she wouldn’t get tired. She couldn’t take care of the yard, so she could only let the yard grow freely. Lu Yan and her parents-in-law would sometimes help clean it up, but they couldn’t take care of it as carefully as her before. Coupled with the “loving care” of the two little childrens, it was becoming more messy.

Qin Rou was powerless to these things, but simply kept the lettuce, beans, leeks and small tomatoes planted on the terrace. The yard outside… it wasn’t in her hands.

On the contrary, the yard of the house next door got much more beautiful.
