My name is Zhang Wei, I am 35 years old, and I am a sales manager of a logistics company. My wife's name is Li Na, she is 33 years old and she is a human resources manager. We have a lovely 6 year old daughter named Xiaomi. My brother-in-law Zhang Lei and his wife Wang Fang live near my house, Wang Fang is pregnant, and the due date is just a few days away.
Our family lives in a three-bedroom, two-hall house in the city center. The decoration style of the house is modern and simple, and the furniture is arranged in an orderly manner, giving people a comfortable and warm feeling. I am usually very busy at work, but after work, I find time to spend with my daughter and do housework with my wife. On weekends, we would go out on outings or go to the movies as a family, and the family relationship was very good. My brother-in-law's family often comes to my house as guests, and everyone is always chatting, eating and drinking, and the atmosphere is very good.
At noon that day, my wife and I were watching TV in the living room when we suddenly heard Wang Fang shouting for help in the bedroom: "Ouch, my stomach hurts!
When my wife and I heard the sound, we hurriedly ran into the bedroom, only to see Wang Fang lying on the bed, her face pale and her forehead sweating, obviously from labor pains. My heart was tight and a little at a loss, but fortunately, my wife reacted quickly, immediately took out the delivery bag prepared in advance, and said to me: "Quick, let's send Wang Fang to the hospital quickly!"
I hurriedly picked up Wang Fang and carried her out. The wife called for an ambulance and followed her out with her maternity bag. The brother-in-law Zhang Lei was working overtime at that time, and his wife called him, but he didn't say a word and hurried back.
At this time, the ambulance also arrived, and several ambulance personnel carried Wang Fang into the car. My brother-in-law and I followed in the ambulance, while my wife drove behind. Along the way, Wang Fang moaned in pain, and the little uncle took her hand with an anxious expression. I looked at them and felt nervous, hoping that everything would go well.
After about 20 minutes, we finally arrived at the delivery room of the hospital. The nurses quickly examined Wang Fang and confirmed that it was labor pain, so they asked us to wait outside the delivery room first. My brother-in-law and I stopped and paced in the corridor, and from time to time we could hear Wang Fang's cries of pain, and our hearts were in our throats.
The nurse came to us and asked us some basic information, such as Wang Fang's name, age, and the time of her last menstrual period. The little uncle was so nervous that his hands were shaking, and he couldn't say anything, so I had to help answer. People came and went in the hospital, some mothers shouted in pain, and some newborns cried, a lively scene of childbirth.
We sat down in the waiting room, surrounded by tense faces. Some parents-to-be paced anxiously to and fro, while others prayed silently. I saw a young mother soothing her baby in her arms, her face full of exhaustion but full of happiness. This reminds me of the scene when my wife gave birth to millet, and I was so nervous at the time, for fear that something would go wrong.
After about an hour, a nurse finally came to inform us that Wang Fang was about to start labor. We followed the nurse to the door of the delivery room, only to see Wang Fang lying on the bed, her face flushed, panting for breath. The little uncle hurriedly stepped forward to hold her hand and said some comforting words to her.
Then there was a long wait. Wang Fang contracted violently, and every time she would shout loudly, and the little uncle would always be by her side. I stood aside, watching the scenes of the couple of them, and my heart was also extremely worried.
Finally, in Wang Fang's painful moans, a cry suddenly sounded. My brother-in-law and I looked at each other and smiled. The doctor came to us and said, "Congratulations, it's a healthy boy!" We rejoiced, and Wang Fang was so tired that she was panting, but she had a happy smile on her face.
The little uncle was so excited that he burst into tears, and said to Wang Fang again and again: "Thank you for your hard work, you are amazing!" Although Wang Fang was exhausted, when she saw the baby, her eyes were full of happiness. The nurse picked up the baby, and the uncle carefully took the child, looking at the small, wrinkled face, with tears in his eyes.
I stepped forward and hugged my brother-in-law's family of three, and I was extremely happy in my heart. At this moment, I seem to relive the scene when my wife gave birth to millet. I still remember that at that time, my wife was also in a cold sweat, but when Xiaomi was born, the smile on her face was so bright and happy.
After Wang Fang took a short break, we began to celebrate. My family members are praising my craftsmanship for everything you say. His wife said: "If it weren't for Zhang Wei's cooking so fragrant, I'm afraid I would have lost weight into a bamboo pole a long time ago!" The little uncle also praised repeatedly: "Brother, your craftsmanship is really a must, next time I must ask you to make some supplements for Wang Fang!"
I was a little flustered by these compliments. Cooking is indeed my forte, I have been learning from my mother since I was a child, and I have not abandoned this hobby when I worked. Every time my family or friends and relatives get together, I will carefully cook a table of good dishes, which is highly appreciated by everyone.
Just as I was dreaming, my wife suddenly whispered in my ear, "Zhang Wei, are you okay?
That's when I realized that it was just a dream. My wife sat down next to me, looked at me and said, "Don't daydream. I told my brother-in-law that when Wang Fang is better, you can make her some confinement meals. You must know that confinement meals are very important and essential for the recovery of the mother......"
My wife's words woke me up suddenly. Yes, confinement meals are essential for the mother's recovery. I couldn't help but reflect on my own negligence, which I didn't take into account at all.
After childbirth, the mother is very weak and needs a lot of nutrients to replenish it. However, if the diet is not reasonable, it can easily lead to a series of complications such as fatigue, dizziness, and excessive postpartum bleeding. Therefore, during this special period, it is necessary for mothers to consume foods rich in protein, vitamins and minerals to recover their strength as soon as possible.
I began to think back to my wife's confinement period. At that time, my mother-in-law and I carefully prepared a set of confinement recipes, making soup and porridge for my wife every day, and making all kinds of nutritious dishes. With these nourishing foods, my wife's recovery is progressing quite well. But now that I think about it, Wang Fang and my brother-in-law are only children, and they don't know anything about confinement meals!
As an experienced craftsman, I am confident that I can prepare a complete set of nutritionally balanced and authentic confinement recipes for her.
Looking at the list full of materials, my resolve was even stronger. For Wang Fang's health and for this new life, I must do my best to make the most nutritious and delicious confinement meal for her!
The house is filled with the strong aroma of bird's nest, and the smell is appetizing. After about an hour, the soup was ready. I scooped out a small bowl and tasted it first, it was sweet and delicious, and it was very much to my liking.
At this time, Wang Fang and his brother-in-law also returned home to rest. I brought Wang Fang a bowl of hot bird's nest syrup, and she drank it in small sips with a satisfied look on her face. "Brother, this sugar water is really good, mellow and sweet, it is simply tailor-made for mothers!" Wang Fang was full of praise.
Seeing her satisfied look filled my heart with a sense of accomplishment. I told Wang Fang that this is just the beginning, and that I will carefully prepare a complete set of confinement meals for her, so that she can eat the most nutritious and delicious food.
Since then, I have been cooking several different confinement meals for Wang Fang every day. There are traditional supplements such as pork trotter tendon soup, pigeon soup, dragon and tiger by, as well as some home-cooked dishes that are rich in protein and vitamins. Wang Fang praised me again and again, saying that my craftsmanship is really amazing, she has eaten these confinement meals, and her body is improving significantly every day.
My brother-in-law and other family members also sincerely thanked me for taking care of me. They said that if it weren't for me, the "chef brother", Wang Fang's confinement period would not have been good. My wife was even more impressed with me and praised me as a considerate and good man.
One day, the whole family gathered together and enjoyed a confinement meal that I made myself. In the lively atmosphere, everyone is praising my craftsmanship. I was extremely proud in my heart, and the happiness of this moment came spontaneously.
At this moment, the little uncle suddenly stood up, raised his wine glass and said to me: "Brother, thank you for your careful care during this time! With you, Fangfang and I can spend the confinement period so calmly." I wish you all good health and all the best for your family!"
Everyone raised their glasses and extended their best wishes to me. I deeply felt the love and care of my family, and my heart was full of happiness. Yes, with such a warm and harmonious family, our family is a family of joy!
In this way, under my careful care, Wang Fang's confinement period passed quickly. A month later, her body had fully recovered and her mental state was refreshed. Whenever she holds her child, her face is always full of happiness and she looks like a kind mother.
My brother-in-law is even more grateful to me. He said: "Brother, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid Fangfang's confinement period would not be good." Not only are you so skilled, but you are so considerate, I don't know how to thank you!"
I waved my hand again and again, indicating that this was the way it should be. After all, family members should be considerate and supportive of each other. As long as I see Wang Fang and the child are healthy, I feel sincerely happy.
Since then, our family's life seems to have added a little new warmth. Every weekend, Wang Fang would come to my house with her children in her arms. At that time, the living room was always filled with aromas and laughter.
I'll prepare a table of good food, and then we'll sit around and eat. My wife and daughter would compliment me on my workmanship; Wang Fang will feed the child some complementary food from time to time, and make him happy while feeding; The uncle would talk about interesting things at work, which amused us all.
After dinner, the adults sit on the couch and continue to chat, while the children roll on the carpet and play with toys. Sometimes my wife would take out her camera and take a beautiful group photo of our family; Sometimes Millet would take Wang Fang's children to play in the small garden outside. A warm scene of joy and harmony.
I often sit on the sofa and watch the warm scene in front of me, and my heart is filled with happiness. Yes, this is what a happy big family should look like! With the company of family members, life will be so rich and colorful, and it will be so happy and beautiful.
In addition to these family gatherings, there are many small blessings in our lives. For example, on weekends, I take my wife and daughter to the park for a walk, and the family of three walks along the tree-lined paths to breathe in the fresh air and feel the warmth of the sun.
There are many such small blessings in life, it may be just a simple hug, a sweet smile, and an unintentional compliment, but they all make me feel the true meaning of happiness. With the company of family, life will be so colorful and happy.
When I think back to those days, my heart is always filled with gratitude. I would like to thank my wife and daughter for their continued understanding and tolerance. Thanks to my brother-in-law's family for giving me the opportunity to show my skills; I am even more grateful to God for giving me such a warm and harmonious family.
Yes, life may be uneventful, but as long as you have your family, it will become colorful and colorful. Just like those ordinary daily life, although it seems ordinary, it is full of the true meaning of life and the source of happiness.
I told myself to always cherish everything in front of me and savor the little things in life. After all, this is the most precious wealth! With the love and care of our families, we can find traces of happiness in ordinary life and feel the true meaning of happiness.
Let's love each other and go on happily as a family. Although there is still a long way to go, as long as we hold hands and stand shoulder to shoulder, we will be able to overcome any difficulties and obstacles and meet a better tomorrow!
