Juhua finally had a moment to look over the cow that had just given birth. It was peacefully eating fodder and seemed to be in good shape. She made a point to look under its belly, and her heart filled with joy when she saw its teats were swollen and full, not at all shriveled like they usually were.
With so many people around, she had been holding it in. She waited until the commotion died down and the crowd had dispersed, leaving only her own family. Once they returned to the front room together, she said to Zheng Changhe, "Father, once the calf gets a bit stronger in a few days, I'd like to milk the cow every day and boil the milk to drink."
Zheng Changhe had heard Juhua mention this before, so he quickly nodded. "Alright. We'll probably know by tomorrow if she has a lot of milk. Don't you worry. I'll feed her well, so there will definitely be plenty."
