Raising Babies in the 70s - Chapter 121

Qin Rou was in confinement.

There were often fish, shrimp and pork to eat. The family even killed a chicken and made chicken soup for her. Her mother-in-law also wanted to get some pig trotters to make soup for her, but Qin Rou said she did not want to eat it.

She wanted something lighter.

The weather was hot, and confinement was quite painful. Qin Rou didn’t have much appetite, so she wanted to eat something fresh and juicy. The meat she only wanted was boiled shrimp, or dried scallops.

Compared with meat, she preferred to eat green vegetable leaves, as well as small tomatoes grown by her, which were particularly appetizing.

Her mother-in-law and Lu Yan didn’t force her and let her eat whatever she wanted. She always had goat milk and eggs every day, and all good things were given to her.

The only good thing about confinement in the summer on that island was that there were a lot of fruits, especially the bananas from Qiongzhou Island, which was really her favorite. Bananas were super sweet. Beside it, there were also lychees and papayas whose yield was so large that farmers even fed it to pigs.

Qin Rou preferred supplementing dietary fiber.

In addition to drinking goat milk, she often drank coconut water happily. Lu Yan climbed up and picked it himself for her. It was a pity that Qin Rou didn’t see her husband climbing a tree to pick coconuts.

The coconuts planted in front of her house were theirs. In the past, someone was called to pick them up. But this time in order to express his love as a father, Lu Yan simply climbed the coconut tree with a rope.

The ugly childrens grew up day by day, almost the same appearance every day, and gradually opened their eyes. Although the skin was still wrinkled and red, the two of them changed from ugly to not so ugly.

The two look exactly the same, and it was hard to tell them apart at first glance, but Dabao (the first born) had a red ribbon tied around his wrist to prevent the parents from confusing them.

If they were carelessly confused, then they themselves would not be able to tell the difference between the elder brother and the younger brother.

Qin Rou and Lu Yan had chosen names for the children. The eldest son was named Lu Weizhou, and his pet name was Zhouzhou (m. porridge). The younger son was Lu Weize, and his pet name was Jiaozi. Originally, they wanted to name Zhou Zhou Zhe (porridge porridge) and Jiaozi, but he felt that the word Zhou Zhou Zhe was too complicated and abusive. That was why they named him Zhou.

Continent (Zhou) was a land and island surrounded by the water, Ze was a vast ocean, Zhou Zhou could go out to sea in a boat to find his younger brother Ze Ze, Ze Ze could land on a dumpling-like boat to find Zhou Zhou…

“It’s like a tongue twister.” 

That was probably the occupational disease of the announcer.

“Zhouzhou and Jiaozi!” Qin Rou couldn’t help pinching her sons’ little fat faces, pinching on the left and the right, never favoring one over the other.

After pinching, as an experienced mother, she blamed herself again, thinking that her little children’s faces were already wrinkled, and she pinched them, so it may ruin her children’s appearance.

The little children’s faces were really tender.

That pair of brothers, all day long, ate and slept, slept and ate, just like two piglets.

Pig day by day.

“My babies are so cute.”

During that period of confinement, it was really boring, and she couldn’t do anything, except admiring her ugly childrens.

The ugly childrens were not so ugly anymore. They looked extraordinarily well-behaved when they slept. They had a pair of small hands and small feet, and one finger was particularly small. Seeing them made people’s hearts melt. When the two little guys closed their eyes, their eyelids were very thin. Qin Rou was very surprised to find that her children’s eyelashes were very long and super beautiful, and their little nose was tall and straight.

Qin Rou tried her best to hold back, telling herself not to poke the bridge of her children’s noses.

– They seemed to have an ADHD mother.

Qin Rou stared at them tenderly. Those two little children looked too similar as if they were copied and pasted.

When they slept, they pursed their small lips gently, and when they breathed, there was still a milky fragrance.

Qin Rou lowered her head and kissed the little faces one by one.

They were so cute.

“You’re teasing them again.” Lu Yan entered the room. He had just finished washing the diapers, and as soon as he came in, he saw his wife fiddling with the childrens, “Be careful, they will wake up because of you.”

“Jiaozi was crying.” The little childrens were super cute when they were sleeping quietly, but when they cried, it was a duo of magic sounds. One cried, and the other never fell behind. The other quickly followed and cried together. 

Especially the younger son, the little Jiaozi, howled extremely.

Qin Rou honestly stopped moving.

Lu Yan smiled gently, walked over, sat down beside his wife and children, and pointed to his handsome face. Qin Rou leaned over and kissed his handsome face very clearly.

Just when she was about to withdraw, Lu Yan held her shoulders and kissed her.

When the two separated, Qin Rou didn’t know whether she despised herself or him. 

“It’s a loss for you to kiss me like this.”
