Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios
Gu Qingyao had stayed home for more than 30 days and was bored stiff. Ji Mingyue had already been discharged from the hospital and wanted to go out to have fun.
She wore thick clothing even in the living room, and she felt warm.
Mo Beihan emerged from the kitchen carrying a bowl of ginseng chicken soup. He placed it in front of Gu Qingyao. “Here, drink this bowl of chicken soup.”
Gu Qingyao glanced at it. During her confinement, she had drunk all kinds of soup like chicken soup, fish soup, pork rib soup, pig trotter soup and pigeon soup. She had drunk so much soup that it made her sick!
“Idon’t want any more soup! I’ve been drinking soup every day for such a long time. I’ve had enough of soup!”
Mo Beihan disagreed. “Nonsense, I change your menu every day. You don’t eat the same thing twice in a week. How can you possibly have drunk enough soup? You last drank this soup seven days ago!”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
“Impossible! I clearly remember I had chicken soup three days ago!”
“That was black chicken. This is a free-range chicken that we raised ourselves. It’s different.”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Gu Qingyao touched her face. She felt that she had gained a lot of weight recently.
“I mustn’t eat anymore. If I carry on eating like that, I’ll turn into a little pig. How ugly!”
She controlled her weight when she was pregnant. Even though she was expecting, she did not overeat when it came to supplements. She just ensured that she had a balanced diet. So she did not gain much weight during her pregnancy, and her baby was not too large. That way, she had not suffered much
during the birth, and the child was very healthy.
But Mo Beihan had been overly concerned during her confinement. If she continued to eat like this, when would she regain her figure?
Mo Beihan disagreed. “So what if a girl is a little plump? It’s not as if we can’t afford to feed you. Childbirth has weakened you greatly. You must nourish yourself properly.
“Yao Yao, don’t ignore your future wellbeing for the sake of temporary vanity. You didn’t see yourself when you were pushed out of the delivery room. Do you know how frail you were then?
“Listen to me and take good care of yourself. It doesn’t matter even if you’re a little plump for a few years. You will certainly regain your figure in the future. That way, even when you grow older, you will still be healthy and have rosy cheeks. That shows you’re in good health.
“Look at those families who can’t bear to buy health supplements for women in confinement. They seem all right in the short term because they’re young. But in a few years, they will have all kinds of ailments. Be good and drink this!”
Mo Beihan spoke very earnestly. He had done a lot of research on how to take care of women when they were doing their confinement.
He remembered his Yao Yao had always been very healthy and calm.
In their previous life, Yao Yao might have been weaker in terms of mental strength, but she had always been very healthy. As a doctor, she had always taken good care of herself. Even when she grew older, she had kept her looks and she did not show her age at all.
In this rebirth, he had never seen his Yao Yao looking frail.
Mo Beihan had been thoroughly frightened by her appearance when she was pushed out of the delivery room. Childbirth was too hard. He would not ask her to have another child again. She must be carefully cared for so that she had no chronic ailments.
‘When Gu Qingyao heard his words, she suddenly felt as if she was being rather unreasonable.
In this era, so many people were still going hungry!
Many women did not even have eggs to eat when they gave birth. They had to go back to working the fields a few days after birth. What confinement?
Their husbands begrudged them every mouthful of rice, and if they did not have a son, they were blamed for being useless
Meanwhile, her husband was making her all kinds of delicious meals every day to repair her health and would rather her be confined for the last two months.
