Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

"Master's wife, this is inappropriate." Cao Wei frowned: "You are already this old, I can do it."

"What are you doing here? What experience do you have?!" Yang Menglan glared at Cao Wei and glared back at him.

Nowadays, there is no such thing as confinement care. Most people, as long as they feel fine, can do whatever they want the next day after giving birth. Only some wealthy families have such a thing.

These two babies have just been born and Qin Jingru has just given birth, so there are a lot of things to do.

Sleeping in the same room, there are bound to be things happening at night.

"Master, this..."

"What's this? You should go to sleep instead of going to work. Listen to me on this matter. Don't be stubborn. Everyone has gone through this. Back then, it wasn't your master who followed me, but my mother-in-law. I know you love your wife, but you have to see if it's appropriate." Yang Menglan slowed down her tone a little, and said earnestly: "Besides, she can't afford to get sick."

In later generations, the issue of confinement is still controversial.

Cao Wei also asked Mr. Yang for advice on the issue of confinement after childbirth.

Mr. Yang said that the so-called confinement period does not have much significance for wealthy families. This tradition, which has been passed down from ancient times to the present, is intended to protect women at the bottom of society.

In ancient times, women had a low status. They didn't have good food or drink. For many women, giving birth was like going to hell. After giving birth, they were also going to hell. After giving birth, women were forced to work while they were still weak. This was not uncommon because they were already weak and malnourished, and they died directly. So, how can we solve this problem?

People can't keep dying like this. If one is born and one dies, and if people prefer sons to daughters, then extinction is inevitable sooner or later.

Thus, there is a rumor that a woman must eat more before giving birth to ensure the baby in her belly, and she must also eat more after giving birth to replenish her own essence.

This statement no longer has much meaning in later generations, as people in later generations generally have adequate nutrition and only need to be careful not to catch a cold. Once you have recovered, you can go out to play, without having to wait a month.

Mr. Yang also said that Cao Wei should look at things and not just look at the surface.

Most of the rules handed down from ancient times are aimed at ordinary people. Their purpose is to educate the people. They are all extreme and one-size-fits-all. For example, you can't see the wind during confinement. Is that right? No, but it requires judgment when you can see the wind and when you can't. Do ordinary people know how to judge? They don't know.

So, just let the pregnant woman suffer. It is better to not see the wind for a month than to catch a cold and lose her life.

Moreover, it is not just suffering. I can also eat something good during the confinement period. Although I don’t know if I can eat it, at least I have the idea.

However, this underlying logic does not apply to the Cao Wei family.

Before Qin Jingru got pregnant, she was the group's favorite. She had a lot of good food every day. Lou Xiao'e fed her, and there was also an old man Yang who helped her take care of her body. After she got pregnant, she went to her master's and his wife's house. Liu Sandao personally helped to cook, and there was also old man Yang watching over her. She was in a good mood. With her physical and mental state, there was no need to worry too much.

Seeing that his master's wife insisted so much, Cao Wei could only nod in agreement.

Anyway, I'm at home now, so I don't think anything serious will happen.

Shazhu ran happily into the backyard.

Seeing Cao Wei: "Old Cao, congratulations, I heard you gave birth to two babies."

"Haha, have one. Sister-in-law is almost done, right?"

Since Sha Zhu got in touch with Master Li again, the relationship between the two families has become more harmonious. Qi Su also often talks to Qin Jingru.

"It's almost time. There's only one month left. I just wanted to come and learn from you." Sha Zhu scratched his head happily.

"Then you have to prepare well." Cao Wei was not stingy and told Sha Zhu everything he had prepared in advance, leaving him stunned.

After a while, he scratched his head and said, "Do I need to prepare so much?"

"You think, hurry up and get busy."

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go get ready!"

There is no adult in Sha Zhu's family to help take care of him, so from now on, he has to rely on himself. It's quite troublesome to be honest.

The Chinese New Year in 64 was much more lively than that in 63.

The main thing is that there are two more children, and my master's wife is also here to celebrate the New Year.

Cao Wei asked someone to go to Qinjia Village to tell her that it was not convenient for Qin Jingru to go home now, and Qin Daqiong also went to the city to see his daughter. Qin Huairu did not plan to go back. After she went back last year, she felt very strange. It was better for her to stay at home.

Watching a baby grow up is actually a magical process.

It is always a delight to see a wrinkled little baby slowly grow up, stretch out, and become a beautiful and delicate figure.

After having a baby, the focus of the entire family is placed on the baby.

This is the situation in most families.

As for Cao Wei, it was a bit of a headache.

Because at this moment, there was a weird looking Lou Xiao'e next to him.

"Oh my, isn't this Mr. Cao? What's up? It's New Year's Day, and you're out shopping in person? This is really embarrassing for you. Otherwise, people will say that the emperor is a widower. Some people, for example, have lost the emperor's life or acquired the emperor's disease."

Cao Wei: ...

"Lou Xiaogou, you..."

"Ze, now everyone calls me Lou Xiaogou, why didn't you call me that when Jingru was around? Isn't it more stimulating to call her by a nickname in private?" After Lou Xiao'e finished speaking, she blinked her big eyes and looked at him.

Cao Wei: ...

"Is your butt itchy?" Cao Wei threatened in a low voice.

"Yes. Do you dare to fight me? On the street?" Lou Xiao'e said calmly: "Or I will fight you when we get home?"

Cao Wei: ...

Well, I really can’t fight. My mistress is at home.

"Anyway, I don't plan to go home this year, so you can do whatever you want."

"What do you want?"

"Hey, hey, hey, how come it's like this, what do I have to do? Didn't you provoke me first? Are you going to throw it away now that you have it?"

I can't stand it anymore, this woman is going against Tian Gang!

Cao Wei looked at the streets full of people and pulled her into the alley.

After a series of crackling sounds.

"I'm wrong, I'm wrong, stop hitting me..." Lou Xiao'e panted softly, with a hint of resentment in her tone; "How dare you hit me? You've been at home all these days and didn't even come out. I don't care. Today is New Year's Day, you have to come to the hut tonight."
