She Only Cares About Cultivation

"Nonsense, I just poured hot water on it, don’t worry,"

The milk powder went directly into her space, Caihua didn’t see the milk powder, but she saw the bottle, so she believed it.

Actually, even without milk powder, her family’s An Ran wouldn’t go hungry. The milk in her space is much better than the milk powder outside.

Cows that grow up eating Space Spiritual Grass and drinking spiritual spring water produce milk that’s naturally good, without any bacteria or adverse factors.

There wasn’t time to boil the milk, so she plans to feed the fresh milk from the space to her in the future. The milk powder can be reserved for times when it’s inconvenient to boil milk outside.

As if making excuses, when the child was full and handed over to Caihua for burping, she pretended to take clothes from the cabinet, but was actually rummaging through her space for some soft fabrics and cotton. Tiny clothes need to be made right now, and the cloth was intentionally bought in Japan, but only cloth because what they make there are kimonos, which don’t suit our Hua Country’s style.

The floral cloth outside was prepared domestically, which can be used to make big padded jackets. Doing this, for someone like An Yi who has been a mom and grandma, it’s a piece of cake.

So after the well-fed An Ran was burped and fell asleep, the two sisters came together to help tidy up. Asked about the small clothes for the child, An Yi replied.

"Don’t worry, I’ll finish it today, if not by tonight. Also, the wrap and little mattress, look, I found plenty more fabric to make diapers. Put these in the pot to boil and scald them, then stretch a rope in the hall to hang them,"

An Yi’s dexterity seems to have renewed their understanding.

"Don’t look at me like that, your sis has done everything, even been a nanny, I learned all this from the wet nurse. I’m far more experienced in taking care of children than you two, pay attention and learn."

No wonder she can do everything, turns out she’s taken care of kids before, that explains it.

Actually, saying this way, they also guessed if An Yi is preparing things for her own child, after all, life is long, who can really claim for sure they won’t have children?

But they dared not ask this, they could only silently ponder in their hearts.

Lunch at noon was made by Qiuxia, Caihua washed the sheets and An Yi stayed on the heated bed with the child.

The clothes on the child had long been discarded, because this child was thrown away, the clothes were the worst, and even the wraps had hardened.

After cursing the old fogeys as worthless, An Yi wrapped the child in some private cotton cloth, her hands never ceased moving, occasionally opening the wrap to measure dimensions, as they were on the warm bed, the baby slept deeply.

Placed the child at the end of the bed, where the temperature is lowest, because the baby’s skin is delicate, don’t let them get roasted, with a thick layer of pads underneath.

No waterproof pads for now, just need to be diligent in observing the baby, any wrong indication needs a quick check. Of course, the pads underneath are also ragged little mattresses, if peed on it’s no pity, saves washing, can just be tossed.

With a little kid added at home, the three sisters became busy like a spinning top immediately, until dark, when she urged them to go home.

"Rest assured, I can manage by myself, you’ve all been tired for a day, don’t do anything tomorrow, have a good rest day."

The heated bed was already fired up at home, plus with An Yi there, the child was behaving, so they left feeling comfortable.

Due to low light indoors, An Yi reentered her space to make clothes for An Ran after they left.

If she heard a cry, she’d come out to check, change the diaper, and feed milk.

She boiled a pot of milk in the afternoon, leaving it outside at just the right temperature, then put it back into the space.

If the baby cried, she’d directly pour into the bottle, with the perfect temperature, ready to drink.

A well-fed An Ran just sleeps, as long as she doesn’t pee or poop, she’s very quiet. Babies in confinement months are like this, sleeping most of the time.

So this night, not only did An Yi have a good sleep, but she also finished the baby clothes and precious cotton jackets for the child.

Before sleeping, she arranged the half-dry diapers on the corner of the bed where the pads were lifted, with bamboo mats on top, wiped clean, diapers laid on would dry in a short time, very convenient.

The Northeast winter, outside is tens of degrees below zero, indoors as long as enough firewood is burned, temperatures of about ten degrees, even twenty, are no problem. Quite a lot of firewood has been gathered at her home, as the mountains behind are forest areas with abundant firewood, and Northeastern people plant numerous trees for the convenience of heating in winter, and with harvested crops, after harvest, all that can burn is stacked in the home’s wood room.

Each spring, tree planting activities are organized everywhere, only with a cycle can people avoid freezing, can’t just take without giving back. Reforestation in forest areas is a matter every Northeastern person values highly, after all, the winter gathering doesn’t only take branches, there are large logs to saw open, those are fine firewood, can be sold for money too, so in principle the forest region is also an income-generating project for the village groups.
