Raising Babies in the 70s - Chapter 94

Lu Yan’s parents got the news that Qin Rou was pregnant, and was carrying twins. Jiang Ping took her little daughter-in-law and spoke warmly. Although she heard that her little daughter-in-law was a little pepper, she still tried her best to soften her voice, for fear that she would scare her.

“Does Lu Yan treat you well?”

“Did he bully you? He was the most naughty when he was a child…”

“How is your life here?” 

“It’s good, Lu Yan is very nice”

After chatting with her mother-in-law, Qin Rou finally relaxed, not as nervous as before.

While chatting , she also found out: ——Maybe my mother-in-law and I are the best compatible height for a couple?

Compared with Lu Yan, the height difference between her and her mother-in-law was more convenient for kissing.

Qin Rou found that her father-in-law looked very serious, rather dull, and didn’t talk much. 

Her father-in-law and mother-in-law were relatively easy to get along with. It was just their local dialect, which Qin Rou didn’t understand very well.

But they seemed to be getting along pretty well.

With so many guests at home, it was natural to prepare a large table of sumptuous meals at night. Qin Rou, Lu Yan and Jiang Ping were busy in the kitchen together. 

Jiang Ping said, “Your father said he wants to eat the steamed buns you make.”

Lu Yan lazily responded, “Okay,”

Qin Rou: “…” It turns out that the big steamed buns made by her husband were loved by the family?

“Xiao Qin, you are pregnant, so don’t work in the kitchen.”

“No, no, I’ll cook some dishes for you all.”

Jiang Ping was very happy when she heard it. 

“Mom, leave the kitchen to me and my wife.”

Qin Rou: “…”

“Okay, I’m going out, you do the work, don’t tire Xiao Qin,” Jiang Ping went out. 

Just before going out, she looked back, and caught a glimpse of her youngest son stealing a kiss on the woman’s cheek.

Tsk, tsk, he really thought his old mother was an eyesore.

When Old Lu outside saw her, he asked, “Why did you come out?”

“Let the young couple have a private chat.” 

The other old man just wanted to poke his eyes out, “You’re really a father and son. Xiao Lu is definitely your own son, your own.”

“It’s the same as when you were young.”

“Pretend, you’re too good at pretending!”

It was outrageous, outrageous. To beat his daughter-in-law, Xiao Qin, changed her attitude. Her voice had softened a few degrees. The son who made his father jump with anger was short tempered, otherwise one would really think he was a motivated and promising young man with a good temper.

“Old Lu, you can pretend too.” 

Lu Zongyi said calmly, “You have to look like an elder in front of the juniors.”

“Look at how good your son is and how much he loves his wife. They all said that he loves his wife.”

That made Lu Zongyi’s scalp feel numb. They asked other colony members about his son and daughter-in-law but Mrs. Yang said that Chief Lu especially loved his wife. The couple were very affectionate, and they never heard them quarrel. Before Lu Yan went to sea, the couple hugged on the pier for a long time, and the captain next to him could not separate them no matter how much they teased…

Lu Zongyi: “…”

Old Wang: “…”

“Old Wang, my Lu family may really thank you.Otherwise, how could my son find me a suitable daughter-in-law?” 

In the first half of the year, he was urging his son to find a partner. Then his son got married as he found a girl he liked. One of them was handsome, the other was beautiful, one was an officer, and the other became an announcer and now his daughter-in-law had two babies in her stomach.

How could there be such a beautiful thing?

“Next time, I really want to invite you and Old Jiang to drink at my house. I will open two bottles of good old wine to entertain you. How about the bottle you mentioned earlier?”

Old Wang couldn’t be more happy, “Didn’t you say that even if you smash this bottle of wine, throw it into the sea, you will never open it for me to drink?”

“I will have two grandchildren soon. Come, come and have fun with me.”

Lao Wang: “Fu*k you.”

Five guests came to the house, so Jiang Ping and Old Wang’s wife came to help make a large table of dishes. Lu Yan made a lot of large steamed buns and Qin Rou prepared the fillings. Outside, Old Lu, Old Wang, and Old He gathered together to make dumplings. Thanks to their enough rolling pins, they all had one in hand.

The duck that Qin Rou brought back was finally made into a sour plum duck. Qin Rou had no other hobbies, so she liked to collect casserole and became a fan of it. The shrimp, salted fish and minced eggplant were especially beautiful when served in a casserole.

Sautéed sea cucumber with scallions, steamed grouper, fried squid with loofah, and steamed prawns, prawns, blue crabs and oysters.

The loofah and eggplant were newly picked in the yard. Qin Rou still had a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables in the yard. She went to pick some square beans and lettuce, and made stir-fried square beans and lettuce with oyster sauce.

The shrimp slippery ball soup was boiled later.

Jiang Ping cooked the meat, and Qin Rou thought it smelled very delicious. Jiang Ping asked her to try some. It was a bit like a noodle cake, but it was fragrant and crunchy on the outside. It was dipped in white sesame seeds. Well, when it was cut in half, there was still tender and juicy meat stuffing inside.
