After having this youngest girl, Lin Qing He felt that her role was to supply rations. The rest was to watch the father and daughter scatter dog food.
Sons will be biased towards mothers and daughters will be biased towards fathers. This was extremely credible because her daughter didn't smile at her when she hugged her.
This was born by her through ten months of hard work, but she didn't smile with her. Just giggled at her dad and especially liked listening to her dad's voice.
Occasionally, when she cried, it happened when her dad was in the bath and can't coax her. Her cry would be endless, but as long as she was held outside the bathroom and get her dad to call out twice, she would magically calm down.
After her dad finish washing up and get picked up by him, she would drill into her dad's arms aggrievedly.
Lin Qing He's brain open wide for a while. Wondering if her daughter had transmigrated or reborn again as she could coax her dad.
She coaxed her dad's IQ to zero!
Of course, that was her imagination. Her daughter was a normal child. Still, fate was so mysterious. Maybe due to when she was in her belly, Zhou Qing Bai liked to talk to her through the belly?
"Wife, this chicken soup is specially stewed for you." Zhou Qing Bai said during the mealtime.
Lin Qing He gave him an eye-roll and remarked with displeasure: "What specially stew for me? You stew it for your daughter."
"One person drinks, two people get nourished. Don't be afraid of getting fat, you can't get fat after eating so little." Zhou Qing Bai coaxed.
Lin Qing He didn't think that she ate too little. A bowl of rice, meat, fish, eggs, and soup. Even when the portion wasn't large, it was definitely a lot.
But honestly, although breastfeeding was a little tiring, she won't really get fat because of paying attention to the diet.
Originally, she was worried.
Still, Lin Qing He drank it. She turned to Zhou Si Ni, "Si Ni, drink more."
"Since I came here, I have gained a lot of weight. However, Fourth Aunt, what Fourth Uncle said made sense. Don't be afraid of getting fat. Eat more and Mi Mi's milk will be nutritious." Zhou Si Ni persuaded.
When it was her sister Er Ni and sister San Ni, they ate a lot. So, their children were nice and plump.
Lin Qing He said: "I know the limit."
She wasn't a stepmother. She won't starve her own daughter. It was just the little girl had a small appetite and can't eat too much.
After a meal, Lin Qing He began to do stretching exercises. The bowls and cutlery were left to Si Ni to clean up. Zhou Qing Bai went in to look at his daughter.
Now she was into her second month. Many babies were very noisy at this month, but his family's youngest girl was very quiet. She will only hum when she is uncomfortable, or when she is awake. When she isn't hugged by her dad or couldn't sense her dad's presense, she would cry.
Especially clever. Why else would Lin Qing He's imagination run away?
Zhou Qing Bai took a look. Youngest girl was still asleep. Sleeping quite soundly. So he exited the room without disturbing her.
"I'll wean her when the spring starts next year," Lin Qing He said to him.
She wants to explore around and set up some shops, but she can’t go. One trip took a long time while her family's little girl has to drink milk once every two hour. How can she get away?
"Next year, she's still small." Zhou Qing Bai hesitated.
"Not small. More than four months old. She can try to eat rice mush." Lin Qing He replied.
"Feed until six months before we discuss." Zhou Qing Bai stared at her and stated.
Wean at four months? This was too small. Zhou Qing Bai felt that she should be fed longer. If it is six months, it would be better.
"Then what else can I do next year?" Lin Qing He looked at him and asked.
"Aren't we going to open a tea cafe next year? We will be very busy at that time. We will bring our girl with us and go around to check the tea shop." Zhou Qing Bai answered.
"You aren't afraid of trouble." Lin Qing He disgruntledly said. She felt that four months was little too, so she continued: "Six months then. I will stop feeding after six months. Directly feed her other stuff."
"Okay." Zhou Qing Bai nodded.
Lin Qing He finished exercising and grabbed a book to read. Zhou Qingbai bought back a few English books for her. They needed to be translated. She did some translating exercise when she had nothing to do.
The speed was fast. Even the bookstore came knocking and wanted a long term cooperation.
This opened up another new way of path for Lin Qing He. She considered how she might not be able to return to her post next year. Then she could find a translation job by herself then. One that she could take home and do on her own.
Translation at this time was particularly popular because many foreign masterpieces were in demand to be translated into Chinese or vice versa.
Long-term cooperation can be dropped. Since she have nothing to do during this time, they can cooperate for now.
When Xue Mei Li came over carrying the pig's trotters soup, she asked her what she was doing?
Once she heard that she was doing this part-time translation job, she instantly became impressed: "I also want to pick up some hand-made work to do at home, but I don’t know how to crochet a hat like my mom. Even more with your translation work. I am now more and more discovering that I am useless."
"Forget it. You will soon be the chief director's wife. When you are free with nothing to do, go out to drink coffee, sip tea, and listen to the violin. How wonderful is that?" Lin Qing He said.
Xue Mei Li laughed: "I can't afford such a life."
"An official wife, what can't afford? You're living too economically." Lin Qing He remarked.
"It's just a small deputy chief. What official wife?" Xue Mei Li grinned and continued: "This pig's trotters and peanut soup is specially stewed for you. Perfect for producing breastmilk. You need to drink more."
"I have to accept your thought." Lin Qing He responded. Although she felt helpless, Xue Mei Li was indeed thoughtful. She had stewed pig's trotters and peanut soup for her a few times. It was all stewed and delivered. .
"Where is Xiao Geng's godfather?" Xue Mei Li asked.
"Sleeping with his youngest girl in the room." Lin Qing He chuckled.
"He really love his daughter." Xue Mei Li smiled. Then she urged Lin Qing He to drink the soup and eat the pig's trotter.
Lin Qing He complied. Although it was a little greasy, it was really delicious. She could act spoiled with Zhou Qing Bai. While Xue Mei Li, who brought it over, she definitely accept it.
"You continue to work away. I'll go back first and cook it for you next time." Seeing that she had eaten everything, Xue Mei Li was delighted and jollily said.
"Qing Bai bought a lot of fish and shrimps back this morning. You can bring some back for Xiao Geng to eat. He likes to eat sea fish and shrimps." Lin Qing He stood up and said.
"No need. I bought some myself this morning." Xue Mei Li hurriedly declined.
"Take some back. They are all fresh." Lin Qing He persisted. After splitting some out, she got Xue Mei Li to take it away.
