Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

“Alright, let’s talk about other things later, I have to feed the baby first.” Qin Xue turned her body and started to breastfeed the child. Since it was just the beginning and she had been eating, there was very little milk.

Qin Xue mainly wanted the baby to have the colostrum and clear the milk ducts so that milk would be produced.

“Chu Molin, take some money and buy a chicken to make a soup to increase milk production.” Qin Xue thought that if her milk didn’t come in and she couldn’t buy formula, it would be very difficult to raise two children.

“Alright, how should I cook it?” Chu Molin didn’t know about confinement meals.

“Clean and chop the chicken, then rinse and crush the ginger. Saute the ginger in oil and add the chicken pieces until they change color. Add water and simmer for twenty minutes. Add white wine and simmer for another ten minutes. Remember, don’t add salt or seasoning.” Qin Xue almost forgot to tell Chu Molin about this.

This confinement meal was a dish from a certain place in the Southern Region. Qin Xue’s classmate had made it before, and its main function was to promote blood circulation and replenish qi.

At that time, her classmate cooked it due to menstrual issues, and Qin Xue had tried it too.

Now that she had given birth and had lochia, eating this could help clear the lochia, which was good.

“Alright, I got it. Is it okay for your little sister to stay here alone?” Chu Molin asked with concern as he looked at Qin Xue.

“It’s okay, I’ve had a good rest and can help take care of the children.” Qin Xue checked the babies and found no abnormalities, so they didn’t need to be separated from their mother. As long as there were no problems, newborns didn’t need to be kept in an incubator.

Thus, Qin Xue could help take care of the children without worrying. Moreover, shortly after they started crying from hunger, the babies fell asleep once they drank some milk. So far, the two children seemed easy to manage, but she didn’t know how things would be later on.

“By the way, Chu Molin, you need to send a telegram to our families to announce that I’ve given birth.” Qin Xue almost forgot to share the happy news with the family.

“Alright, rest then. I’ll go back and prepare your meal.” Chu Molin thought this sounded simple to cook, but he still didn’t know how to make it properly. He would buy the ingredients and try, but if things didn’t work out, he’d ask Fang Hong for help.

If Fang Hong was at home, he would ask her to teach him how to make a confinement meal, and she probably wouldn’t refuse.

After Chu Molin left, Qin Xue got up to use the bathroom. As she walked, she felt some pain. Most women experience tearing during childbirth, but she considered her situation pretty good, as she was able to deliver twins without undergoing a cesarean section.

Natural childbirth allowed for a faster recovery than a cesarean section, and it was better for the baby as well. So although Qin Xue had experienced some tearing, she should recover quickly.

“Lele, I can watch them here, you go and have breakfast in the cafeteria.” Qin Xue looked at her sister. She didn’t know when Chu Molin would finish cooking and come back, so it was better to let her sister eat something first.

“Sister, are you sure you can manage alone?” Qin Jiale looked at her sister with concern.

“Don’t worry, go ahead. If you’re still worried, eat quickly and come back soon.” Qin Xue said it very casually and simply.

“Alright, I’ll be back quickly.” Qin Jiale was still worried about her sister, especially since she had just given birth.

“Go on, I’ll be fine.” Qin Xue looked at her sister helplessly. Why did they all treat her like a disabled person?

Qin Jiale’s trip to the cafeteria was indeed fast. She bought a bun and a bowl of porridge, finished them quickly, and hurried back to the ward.

“Lele, did you really eat?” Qin Xue looked at her sister, who had only been away for a short time.

“I ate.” Qin Jiale poured a glass of water for her sister.

Qin Xue took a sip of the water and thought, okay, her sister was just worried about her, she should be glad.

However, wouldn’t eating like that hurt her sister’s stomach? She hoped that her sister wouldn’t do this again.
