Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 434

Chapter 434: Chapter 434: Waiting for When There’s Time

Just as they arrived at the entrance, they saw the small quilts and diapers hung out to dry in the courtyard, and an elderly woman was still washing something there.

Lin Chuxia guessed the woman’s identity and called out, "Auntie, I’ve come to visit Jiang Hong."

The lady looked up and saw a beautiful woman standing at the entrance. She quickly stood up to meet her.

"Jiang Hong is inside, come in quickly."

By this time, Jiang Hong had already seen Lin Chuxia and called out through the glass, "Chuxia, come here quickly."

Lin Chuxia quickened her pace and said, "Keep your voice down, don’t you scare the baby."

Jiang Hong smiled sheepishly, "I can’t help it, I’m just so happy to see you."

The auntie added from behind, "It’s fine, the baby won’t get spoiled by noise. If they’re always in quiet, they get used to it too much. Then the slightest noise will have them crying endlessly."

Jiang Hong nodded incessantly, "My mom’s right, this makes the baby easier to take care of."

She then introduced to Lin Chuxia, "This is my mother-in-law, she came especially to take care of me during my confinement period. Mom, this is Chuxia, my very best friend. When my water broke that day and no one was home, it was Chuxia who took me to the hospital."

Aunt Li had long heard about what happened, and she had been apprehensive about coming too early, worried about causing trouble for the young couple. She intended to wait until after their daughter-in-law had given birth to come over, but their little grandson was such a rascal, couldn’t stay put in the belly, and came out more than ten days early.

When she arrived and heard about the situation at the time, it gave Aunt Li quite a fright, and she had wanted to invite Lin Chuxia over to thank her properly, but recently the latter wasn’t at home.

Today, having finally met, Aunt Li was extremely grateful.

"Auntie, no need to be so polite. Living in the same place, if I hadn’t been there, someone else would have helped," Lin Chuxia said.

She handed over the pork ribs and vegetables she had brought.

Jiang Hong’s eyes lit up at the sight of the fresh green vegetables, "Where did you get these greens, ah, and cucumbers..."

They were quite rare this season.

"Have you forgotten? Our Qin Family Village is a community of vegetable farmers; this is what’s grown in the village."

"Your village is really impressive."

Jiang Hong picked up a cucumber and was about to take a bite, but Aunt Li blocked her immediately.

"Oh my ancestor, you’re still in confinement; you must avoid raw and cold foods."

"Mom, let me have just one, I’ve been craving it so much."

Seeing her daughter-in-law’s pitiful look, Aunt Li compromised and gave her the top of a cucumber, "You can only have a taste to satisfy the craving. Wait another ten or half a month, then you can eat as much as you want. Eating now and spoiling your stomach is something you’ll regret for a lifetime. I’ll make you some cucumber and egg soup to eat while it’s warm."

"Alright."

Watching Aunt Li carry things outside, Lin Chuxia remarked, "It seems you’re having a very comfortable confinement."

Lin Chuxia thought that Aunt Li took the cucumber from Jiang Hong because eating it would affect the breast milk or something like that. She didn’t expect it was just to prevent Jiang Hong from hurting her stomach; moreover, she was going to make something warm for her to eat.

Jiang Hong contentedly nibbled on the cucumber and nodded, "How could I not be comfortable? I’m gaining weight so quickly, my mother-in-law wants me to eat seven or eight eggs a day, plus brown sugar water, chicken soup, fish soup. It’s just that there are no vegetables, now the sight of cabbage stewed with tofu makes my eyes shine."

Lin Chuxia couldn’t help but laugh.

In the beliefs of the older generation, a woman in confinement should eat various nutritious foods, with meat and eggs being the top picks.

Being able to eat these foods every day showed just how considerate Aunt Li was of her daughter-in-law.

These days, not many women get the full confinement period, but from what Aunt Li said, she intended to let Jiang Hong complete the full 40 days.

Besides, there really weren’t many vegetables on the market at the moment.

The two were chatting when Lin Chuxia noticed the little one on the bed moved, rolling his large eyes around.

"Did our talking wake him up?"

Lin Chuxia had wanted to see the baby for a while, but since he was asleep before, she didn’t want to disturb him.
