Raising Babies in the 70s - Chapter 85

Her sister and her family went to Lu’s house for dinner at noon. Every time she went to her sister’s yard, Qin Mian felt a little unbelievable. She sighed, “This is actually built by my sister. Yes, this is what my sister grew, so ingenious, it’s incredible.”

Chen Mian added, “Think about how you looked before you got married.”

At that time, Qin Mian: “…”

The man seemed to be a little bit squeamish.

Qin Rou snickered on the side, pulled Qin Mian and said privately, “I think my brother-in-law is made to be a primary school teacher.”

He was silent at that time, but since he had been with the primary school students for a long time, he had a lot of eloquence.

“I also like him to be a primary school teacher.” Qin Mian put her hands on her hips, “I just like to see him jumping around at home because of anger.”

Qin Mian and Qin Rou were cooking in the kitchen. When Qin Mian saw so many rolling pins, she said hesitatingly, “…So many, what do you do with them?”

“A rolling pin, don’t you use it, sister?”

“Of course I know it’s a rolling pin, but the question is do you use them all?”

“No,” Qin Rou said without any shame.

“You still bought so many.”

Qin Rou said very proudly, “Your brother-in-law uses it, I can eat it while lying down. The big steamed buns he makes are especially delicious, and he even makes dumplings…”

“Sister, I’m envious, you married such a good man.” 

Qin Mian never thought things could change so fast. Her sister almost became a stepmother in the first half of the year, but was married to a young man, the navy officer who was young and motivated, also loved his wife.

He would also do laundry and cooking for his wife. Such a good man couldn’t be found anywhere.

“Your husband is really good.”

Qin Rou smiled.

“You, since you are pregnant, pay more attention. If you have twins, you have to be more careful…”

“Twins…”

Qin Rou thought about it, and it was indeed possible. Her sister’s first born was twins. If the sister could have twins, then she was very likely to have twins. It was not easy to take care of two bear children at a time.

Qin Rou: “…Sister, don’t scare me.”

“How can I scare you? Isn’t it good to have two children? But in the future, you have to be careful…” Qin Mian told her things to keep in mind when raising kids.

“Sister, just tell me the good things, and tell me about the suffering in the future.” 

As a former kindergarten teacher, Qin Rou knew the pain of raising a baby.

It was already very scary to keep one mythical beast, let alone two little mythical beasts.

If it was still a divine beast like his father Lu Yan, then her yard would really be in jeopardy.

At the moment, her yard could still be the most beautiful yard in the colony. When the bear baby would come into the world in the future, he/she would give all her flowers and plants to them.

“What are you afraid of? I saw that you were quite good at taking care of children. Jingyi had followed you for a few months, and when he returned home, he was so well-behaved that he could wear clothes, eat, sleep, and draw… ” Qin Mian’s eyes were full of smiles. The whole family was very happy about the changes in their youngest son.

“You, aren’t you born good at raising children?”

Qin Rou: “…Don’t say such scary words.”

Qin Rou was really worried that she was pregnant with twins. It seemed that she would have to go to the hospital for a checkup in a while. If it was two, it would be really… exhausting.

Raising a baby was not easy.

The two sisters were cooking and chatting in the kitchen, Lu Yan and brother-in-law Chen Mian were talking outside, and the two children, Chen Jinghua and Juanjuan, took the younger brother Jingyi to play in the yard of their aunt’s house.

“A-mei, I didn’t expect your cooking to be so good, A-Jie might not necessarily be as good as you.”

“She’s a rare good wife!”

“Sister, don’t be so rude, your brother-in-law may not think so.”

“Who said that? I think my wife is the best.”
