Chapter 152 The Treasure That Protects the House
Qian Shuzhen sent Tingnan a letter, along with some baby clothes that she and Zhao Xiaojuan had made, and some dried vegetables that Jinyue liked to eat.
She knew that Jin Yue was in a big city and things were different from before; she probably had everything she needed, but this was a token of their affection.
Zuo Jinyue was overjoyed to receive the large package sent by Ting Nan. Touching the baby's clothes, she could feel her grandmother's care and love. The loose threads inside and out were handled very well, so they wouldn't rub against the baby's delicate skin.
Based on the weather changes and the baby's age, Qian Shuzhen made two sets each of short-sleeved shirts, long-sleeved shirts, lined jackets, and cotton-padded coats. There were also two cute little vests, which are so practical. When the baby gets a little older, he can wear the vests to sleep so he won't get cold from kicking off the covers.
Looking at the bed covered with small clothes, Li Yan and Yang Sumei were filled with emotion. Although the Song family was far away, their hearts were close, unlike the Du family—whom they had to be wary of.
There were also some dried vegetables that Li Yan had never seen before. After listening to Jin Yue's introduction, she and Yang Sumei immediately followed the recipe and made them together. That night, everyone ate an extra bowl of rice.
Du Hongxue was even happier to see this. With Xiaoyue eating well, there was enough food for his son Xiaopinyu, and he no longer needed to get up in the middle of the night to make milk.
Making this milk costs money and is tiring, but the main problem is that the baby doesn't like it. Even stuffing his mouth won't get him to eat it; he'd rather starve and cry.
This time, Qian Shuzhen sent half a bag of red beans she grew herself, asking her to make porridge for Jin Yue, saying it would help with lactation. She also sent some tongxin grass, saying that cooking it with pig's feet would also help with lactation, which is exactly what Xiao Yue needs.
Zuo Jinyue trusted her maternal grandmother, Qian Shuzhen, completely, considering her a wise and invaluable elder. Whether it was psychological or not, after drinking red bean porridge and eating a few bowls of pig's feet soup with water chestnuts, her milk supply really did increase.
Baby Du Pinyu is well-fed and cries less. She changes every day, becoming chubby and fair-skinned, which is very endearing.
The old lady has come to visit several times. Every time she comes, she stares at her great-grandson and is reluctant to leave. When Wu Jinfeng sees this, she feels as if she is being scratched by a cat.
Why is this child so endearing? Look at all the valuable things the old lady brought over; any one of them could cover their expenses for half a year. No, no, I have to discuss this with Du Hexiang. In this crucial moment, Wu Jinfeng still admitted that General Du was smarter than her.
Back home, Wu Jinfeng naturally embellished the story, saying, "Husband, look at the situation now, you and Lao San are treated like stepmothers?"
"What nonsense are you spouting? I know what I'm doing," Du Hexiang said irritably.
“I know what’s going on, I know what’s going on, you always say that. Boss, you were the one who agreed to this marriage in the first place, and you said you knew what was going on, but look what kind of person you married. She always has a cold face, or she’s always in the lab. I want her to have another child, but I can’t even see her.”
“What do you know, you old woman? My eldest son’s wife is someone who does important things and research. Haven’t I told you? My eldest son is lucky to have married her. I put in a lot of effort back then. She’s the treasure of our family. Even if any of us in the family gets into trouble in the future, the higher-ups will give us a lenient punishment because of her…”
"Pah, pah, pah... What nonsense are you spouting? Quickly spit three times. God bless, may the good things come true, and may the bad things not come true, may the bad things not come true."
"Pah, pah, pah... I told you to be more polite to her, did you hear me? Didn't she give you a grandson? Remember this, she's much more valuable than that Zuo Jinyue."
"Hmph, the grandson she gave birth to for me, doesn't he have your family name 'Du'? Besides, even if I wanted to serve her, I'd need to be able to see her in person, wouldn't I? What are you busy with all day long?"
