She looked at Dafu and Erlu beside her, feeling extremely painful in her heart.
She couldn't let go of her youngest son, but in fact, the ones she couldn't let go of the most were Dafu and Erlu.
The youngest son was just born, so there was definitely not much affection, and the child might not survive. She was more worried about Dafu and Erlu.
Now she understands that relationships really have to be nurtured, not born with blood ties.
It's like her three children are all her biological children, but their feelings have different depths because of the length of time they have been together. This may be cruel, but it is a fact.
The Qian family and Zhou Yin are like the Xiao Qian family and Man Bao.
Even deeper than Xiao Qian and Man Bao, because Qian's mother-in-law passed away a few years after giving birth to Zhou Yin. Unlike Man Bao, Qian and Xiao Qian shared her feelings for their mother.
Seeing that Mrs. Chen was feeling better, Mrs. Qian put the child down, swaddled the baby and said, "I'm not hungry for rice soup. I'll feed him some more later. If possible, I'd better go and ask for milk. It'll be hot when I get back."
Give him something to drink, and when he is a few days older, you can try feeding him some rice porridge."
Both Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen listened very carefully.
Qian was not the person who had the most children, but she was the person who had the most children survived, so they naturally listened attentively.
Man Bao immediately said: "You can also use goat milk."
Mrs. Qian looked down at her, and Manbao also raised his bright eyes to look at his mother and said, "Mom, goat milk is also milk and very nutritious."
That's right. She frowned and said, "Goat milk is a bit smelly."
"You can boil it with tea leaves and just put in a little bit," Man Bao gestured, "The little nephew will be able to breastfeed by then, and there's no need to go elsewhere to find it."
Currently, there are no newborns in Qili Village, so they have to go to other villages if they want to ask for milk.
Even if you find another pregnant woman, you may not be able to find one, so it would be best if you can buy a sheep.
But a sheep that happens to be lactating may not be so easy to find.
Mrs. Chen hesitated for a moment and then nodded, not doubting Man Bao's words.
One is because Man Bao is a scholar, and the other is because Qian didn't say anything to refute.
When Mother Chen saw that they had finished speaking and the children had calmed down, she said enthusiastically: "The sweet wine is ready. Let's go out and have a bowl."
Man Bao and Bai Shan Bao were also invited, and he said with a smile: "You are children, can I boil an egg in sweet wine for you?"
This can be regarded as reciprocating love, but of course not every child has it.
Bai Shanbao didn't think there was anything wrong with eggs, and Manbao, who ate eggs every day, asked, "Would beating eggs taste better?"
After receiving Mother Chen's nod, she agreed and followed her to the kitchen with great interest.
Zhou Hu was also in the kitchen. Someone from the village came to help, but he also had to go into the kitchen occasionally to take a look.
When Chen's mother saw him, she took the opportunity to propose buying a milking goat. She glanced at Manbao who was waiting and whispered: "I think this is a good idea. Goat milk is also milk. What if San'er is really cheated?"
Are you fed?"
When Zhou Hu heard this, he said without thinking: "Then I'll ask someone to look for one. If there is one that produces breasts, we will buy one."
Although a sheep is expensive, Zhou Hu can't afford it. At worst, he can just sell it later when he needs money urgently.
It's just that it's not easy to find a sheep that happens to be giving milk.
Zhou Hu was a little worried, "Mom, what should I do these days if I don't have any sheep?"
Mother Chen sighed, "Let's feed the rice soup first. Your Aunt Qian just fed a little bit of it."
Zhou Hu breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai Shanbao listened on the sidelines and pulled Manbao's hand. Manbao also heard it and was wondering whether to buy some milk powder for them in case of emergency. When Bai Shanbao pulled her, she turned to look at him.
Bai Shanbao whispered in her ear, and Manbao's eyes lit up. After they finished eating the sweet wine and boiled eggs, they ran out hand in hand.
Chen's mother wanted to talk to them, but she didn't have a chance to contact them.
Bai Shanbao took Manbao back to look at his sheep, then took it out from the fence and said happily: "Let's send it to him."
"Alright
Need tea."
Bai Shanbao gave her the rope, "Just wait, I'll get it."
Bai Shanbao ran away and came back not long after, but he was followed by Mrs. Liu and a group of servants.
Mrs. Liu glanced at the sheep they were holding and said with a smile: "Newborn children cannot eat tea."
She said: "You are so old, you can't sleep even after drinking tea, let alone such a little baby."
Man Bao's eyes widened: "What should we do?"
"Just boil the goat's milk. If you really can't drink it, put two drops of vinegar in it and have a look."
"Would vinegar help too?"
Mrs. Liu looked at Man Bao's confused look and nodded with a smile.
Of course it is useful to a certain extent, but it is not as obvious as tea.
The two children had an idea, and they were contented to lead the sheep and set out to cross the river.
The servants of the Bai family were used to it, so they turned around and reported to the old lady without stopping.
Only then did I know that the old lady already knew, and even agreed to it.
Things in the village were never secrets. Mrs. Liu thought that it was a good thing for the child to have a kind heart. It was just a sheep, and their family could not afford it.
But to the people in the village, a sheep is too valuable.
When the two children appeared in Zhou Hu's yard with the sheep, everyone was shocked.
Mother Chen's eyes were bright and she wanted to kneel down for the two children. She didn't pay much attention to Bai Shanbao at first, but now she couldn't help but look at him. Only then did she realize that the clothes he was wearing were different from all of them.
very nice.
Zhou Hu also knew that this sheep must belong to the Bai family, because the old Zhou family did not have any sheep.
So he also looked at Bai Shanbao blankly.
Bai Shanbao gave him the sheep's rope, waved his little hand and said: "My sheep are producing milk, please use it before you buy the sheep."
Mother Chen thanked her repeatedly and urged Zhou Hu to accept it.
Zhou Hu hesitated for a moment and then took the item and said, "Don't worry, young master, I will send it back to you as soon as I buy the sheep."
Bai Shanbao didn't care much about this. What he wanted to see more was the child and asked curiously, "Is he still hungry now?"
When Mother Chen heard this, she immediately took the sheep aside to milk them, ready to try their recipe, but when she squeezed out the milk, she remembered that there was no tea.
Man Bao said sheepishly: "Although tea can remove the smell, it seems that babies can't eat it, so why don't you put some vinegar in it?"
Mother Chen agreed without much hesitation. She thought it would be good to have goat milk. As for the taste, she didn't think much about it at this time.
This sheep produced quite a lot of milk. The Bai family had already milked it once in the morning, but Mother Chen still produced a lot of milk.
She put it in an earthen pot, put it on the fire and boiled it, carefully added a few drops of vinegar, then closed the lid and cooked it.
Man Bao reminded, "Small fire."
Mother Chen smiled at her and asked, "My dear lady, do you often boil goat's milk at home?"
"No, my family has never cooked it," Man Bao pointed at Bai Shanbao and said, "His family has cooked it, and the cheese is delicious."
"Yes," Bai Shanbao felt a little regretful now, "We will have no cheese to eat in the future."
Mother Chen immediately did not dare to speak, for fear that the young master of the Bai family would regret it. After all, he was still young, and children would always think out of their minds.
She didn't know what cheese was, but she heard it was made of milk.
