Chapter 5 The Milk Sheep Goes Down the Mountain

Zhao Cao'er didn't lie. The diapers she had prepared would be enough. However, there were still one or two months before she gave birth, which was enough for her to prepare another batch.

Moreover, what Qin Shan said was borrowing, and he would bring a new piece of cloth back to them later. With his temperament, he would never take advantage of the second house, and the value of the new cloth would definitely be higher than a few diapers.

It's not that Zhao Cao'er doesn't know this. In fact, in line with the mentality of not taking advantage of it, she has already prepared to borrow it. It's just a few diapers. She has many children and several pieces of tattered clothes. A few diapers won't be a problem.

The reason why they kept quiet was just to make Qin Shan bow his head and vent his frustration.

Unfortunately, she only thought about Qin Shan not taking advantage of others, but ignored his straightforward personality.

"If you don't want to borrow it, just say so. What are you talking about?" Qin Shan turned dark and turned away, intending to borrow it from another family in the village who was about to have a baby.

Zhao Cao'er was dumbfounded and hurriedly defended: "Brother, no, that's not what I meant. Don't leave! Dachuan, you idiot, stop me quickly."

Her new cloth can't be lost like this. As for her face... can her face be used as food or as money? It's not as important as the benefits she will get.

Under Qin Chuan's obstruction and Zhao Cao'er's caution, Qin Shan did not go out to meet others, and finally returned to his room with a few diapers Zhao Cao'er dug out.

Lin Qiuniang heard this farce clearly. When Qin Shan came back, she didn't say anything. She took the diaper and put it on the bedside so that she could change the diaper at night.

The diaper problem was solved for the time being. The couple sat on the bedside, smiling and looking at the breasted dumplings who stretched out their arms and kicked their legs. They couldn't think of anything else to do.

At this moment, Naituanzi cried without any warning: "嘤嘤嘤-嘤嘤嘤-wooah-woowa-"

The repeated crying made the couple cry uncomfortably. Qin Shan subconsciously went to ejaculate Tuanzi's little buttocks, and found that it was wet but not peeing. He was at a loss and asked Lin Qiuniang: "What's going on? It's okay, okay?" Cried?"

Lin Qiuniang said anxiously: "I must be hungry. My daughter can't eat what we are eating. What should we do?"

She was anxious, and Qinshan was even more anxious.

Looking at the milk dumplings that didn't even have the strength to cry, Qin Shan thought of a way and put the milk dumplings into Lin Qiuniang's arms and said, "I'll go to my mother to get some eggs. You take the eggs and take my daughter to find Erbangzi." Wife, please help me."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiuniang understood what he meant and urged: "Go quickly, two or three eggs are enough."

Ergangzi is a younger brother of Qinshan, but the two families have been together for a long time, and their relationship is no different from that of other villagers. At the beginning of the year, Guangzizi's wife gave birth to a son, and now she is the only one in the village to nurse the child, so she is the only one left to look after him.

Naituanzi is the granddaughter recognized by Mr. Qin, and she belongs to the Qin family. Naturally, Mrs. Miao would not let her granddaughter starve with a few eggs, so she happily took out five eggs and handed them to Qin Shan.

Qin Shan said that he couldn't afford so many and wanted to take out two.

Mrs. Miao stopped him and warned: "I heard from Ergangzi's mother earlier that Ergangzi's daughter-in-law doesn't have enough milk. I'm afraid she won't be happy if I ask someone to help me this time. I'll ask your wife to tell Ergangzi's daughter-in-law more later. A few good words and I can finally get over tonight."

After tonight, we can only talk about what to do tomorrow.

Qin Shan silently took the eggs, worrying about Naoduanzi's future rations.

After taking the five eggs, Lin Qiuniang hurried to Ergangzi's house with the milk dumplings crying from hunger. Ergangzi's wife was not surprised when she saw the child in her arms, and she guessed the purpose of her visit, and the look on her face

He showed a bit of displeasure.

There were several people who went into the mountain with Qin Shan today. The news that Qin Shan had picked up a child and returned home in the evening quickly spread within a small area.

Although the second-stick daughter-in-law did not want to breastfeed Naituanzi for fear of starving her son at night without milk, she could not write two characters of Qin in one stroke, and Lin Qiuniang presented five more eggs, so she could not refuse.

Seeing that her mother-in-law and husband had no objection, she took the milk dumplings and went to the back room.

Lin Qiuniang hurriedly followed her in, followed her mother-in-law's instructions, and kept saying good things about the second-rate wife.

How could the second-stick daughter-in-law not understand Lin Qiuniang's thoughts? Just because she promised her grandma dumplings once did not mean that she would breastfeed her a second time, she said tactfully: "Sister-in-law Lin, this child is only three months old and can only be fed after half a year old."

Order rice soup, there are still three months in between, what are you going to do?"

Lin Qiuniang also knew that it was unrealistic to let people breastfeed her daughter all the time, and couldn't help but worry: "We don't know how to do it. If it doesn't work, we can only feed rice soup. We can't let the child starve."

The second-stick daughter-in-law is also a mother. She is not willing to feed Tuanzi, which does not mean she can watch such a young child starve to death, so she sincerely suggested: "You should take the time to go to the city. If you are lucky, you might be able to buy a dairy goat. Wait."

After weaning the child, we can also sell the sheep for money, so it won’t cost much in total.”

She knew the situation of the Qin family, so she didn't say anything about hiring a nanny.

Not to mention that a wet nurse is very expensive, costing at least six taels of silver for three months, and she also provides delicious food and drinks. Only rich families can use it. Even if the Qin family bites the bullet and hires one, how can the Qin family's second room not cause trouble?

Not to mention that the Qin family still supports a scholar. If something goes wrong, this wonderful family will break up.

"You're right, buying dairy goats is a good idea." Lin Qiuniang's eyes lit up, thinking about the feasibility of buying dairy goats.

The more I thought about it, the more I thought it could be done like this. Just like what Ergangzi's wife said, after the child is weaned, she can sell the sheep and get back the money she spent.

Dairy goats are rare, and sheep farmers rarely sell dairy goats, unless the family is in a hurry for money. Otherwise, even if the lamb dies, the goat will be kept and continue to give birth to babies. If it is sold, it will be sold together with the lamb, and the cost will be

Expensive.

No matter what, buying dairy goats is the best way right now, you have to try it.

After thanking Ergangzi and his family, Lin Qiuniang left with her full milk dumplings in her arms.

Mrs. Miao had already prepared dinner and was waiting for Lin Qiuniang to come back to start the meal. No one else said anything, only Zhao Cao'er complained a few times, saying that the child in her belly was hungry.

However, everyone knows her temper and is too lazy to argue with her.

After the meal, Lin Qiuniang took the initiative to do the dishwashing and asked Mrs. Miao to go back to her room to rest. After the kitchen room was cleaned up, she went back to her room and told Qin Shan about buying dairy goats.

Qin Shan was worried about his daughter's food rations. When Lin Qiuniang mentioned this, he patted his head in annoyance: "I'm so stupid, why didn't I think of this? Buy it, you must buy it. I will go to the city early tomorrow morning."

Qingshan Village is some distance away from Le'an County. It takes about an hour to get there by carriage, and at least two hours on foot. The Qin family does not have a carriage, so it would take a whole day to go back and forth on two legs.

The Qin family is not divided, and the money is managed by Mr. Qin. Buying a dairy goat is not cheap, and at least two taels of silver are needed. Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang did not have so much on hand, so Qin Shan found Mr. Qin.

Without saying a word, Mr. Qin threw him a few silver coins and said, "You will get it back after you sell the sheep."

Qin Shan happily returned to the room with the silver coins in his pocket, walked up to Nai Tuanzi and kissed her on the forehead: "Nanny, my father will definitely buy the dairy goat back tomorrow."

He was sleeping so hard that he smacked his milk dumplings and seemed to have dreamed of something delicious.
