The water was boiled and steam rose from the pot. A layer of cloth was spread out and fat white buns were gently placed on top. The buns were steamed on high fire and they were soon out of the pot.

In the afternoon, Ye Lulu had her wish fulfilled as she ate fresh and hot buns. The taste was as good as she had imagined. The freshness of the wild vegetables seemed to carry the fragrance of the soil. Pork had been pickled with ginger, garlic, and salt, and there was no fishy smell at all. Mother Rong was good at making buns. When she bit into the steamed buns, she found that they were juicy.

Buns with wild vegetables, pork, and eggs were the best!

Ye Lulu had eaten three big buns, and she was almost catching up to Mother Rong! Mother Rong had to manage things outside the house and farm. Her appetite was naturally huge. However, how could Ye Lulu eat so much?!

Mother Rong was so frightened that she quickly held Ye Lulu’s hand so that she wouldn’t eat more. She told her that if she was still craving food, wait until she digested them first. Otherwise, it would not be a good thing if she ate too much during her confinement period.

They had buns for lunch, so they naturally did not eat the brown sugar eggs that they were supposed to make.

However, the brown sugar eggs were still eaten by Ye Lulu as supper. There were a total of five eggs in the rich brown sugar water, which was almost comparable to a proper meal.

However, Ye Lulu had to feed her three children, so she was different from ordinary pregnant women. Furthermore, she realized that she had a huge appetite and could indeed eat this much.

Ye Lulu fell asleep after eating the hot brown sugar eggs.

The days passed like a fish in water. Soon, half a month had passed.

Ye Lulu had gained weight and her body was much more voluptuous. She asked Mother Rong to bring a pot of water over so that she could take a look. Her originally thin face with prominent cheekbones had become round and smooth. Her skin was fair and tender like a peeled egg because she ate well. She looked very energetic.

Ye Lulu was satisfied. She did not blindly pursue a skinny figure. On the contrary, this body had suffered too much and was too thin and weak. She felt that it was very ugly to be as thin as a match.

She was not fat at all. Instead, she was very proportionate.

“Wa… wu!”

The baby lying on the bed suddenly let out a tender sound.

“Ah, the baby can make noise!” Ye Lulu looked over in surprise and found that it was her smartest child, the second son. She picked the child up and looked down.

After more than half a month, the baby opened up day by day and became more beautiful. It was already very fair and tender when it was born, but now, it was even more likable.

Anyone who saw this child would be surprised. How could there be such an exquisite child?

However, no one doubted anything because the nourished Ye Lulu glowed and became even more beautiful, compared to her delicate skinny appearance in the past.

Guan Chibei was fair, to begin with. No one doubted the child that this couple gave birth to. They only felt that they were lucky to have the most handsome child together.

“Waah!” Her second son smacked his lips. His lips were pink and tender, and his large eyes were alert.

He stared at Ye Lulu as if he already recognized her.

Babies could laugh and make sounds after more than half a month. Ye Lulu had read about babies on modern TikTok and knew that this was normal.

Ye Lulu hugged the child tightly as she kissed him on the mouth, nose, and forehead. She was as fast as a chicken pecking at rice, catching her second son off guard. He was stunned for a moment before he burst out laughing.
