Zhou Xi was feeding her daughter milk. After feeding her, she gently smoothed it down, wrapped it and put it aside, and patted away her son's hand that wanted to touch her daughter.
Guan Xiaolang could only restrain his hands, stand by the bed and look at his sister, and asked nervously, "Mom, why can my grandfather and grandmother touch my sister, but I can't?"
"Because your little chubby hands are too dirty. Did you play in the mud again?"
Guan Xiaolang immediately put his hands behind his back, turned around and ran away.
Guan Xin came in with a bowl of chicken soup, and was almost hit by his son. He laughed and cursed, then brought the chicken soup to Zhou Xi, "Drink quickly, there are chicken legs in the pot, I will get them for you later."
Zhou Xi took it and frowned: "Why did you kill the chicken again? Weren't you allowed to kill it?"
Guan Xin smiled and said: "I also bought ten of the chickens my mother brought and raised them in the yard. Adding in the chickens we raised before, one chicken a day is enough for you to eat until you are pregnant."
He said: "It was too hard for you to have this pregnancy. You couldn't eat for most of the year. Look how thin you have become."
That's true. Zhou Xi has been vomiting this time, from two months to more than nine months. Manbao sent her prescriptions but they didn't work. She also went to many doctors here to see her, but they just didn't work.
Basically, I vomited after eating, and then vomited after eating. At one point, it was so severe that I would vomit as soon as I smelled something fishy.
In the end, Lao Zhoutou and the others came back from the capital. Seeing that this was not going to work, they took Guan Xiaolang to Qili Village, and then Qian stayed here to take care of Xiao Qian. The family of three ate vegetarian food all day long, and even Guan Xin ate meat pie outside at noon.
I had to take a shower and change clothes in the military camp before coming back, so that I could feel better.
But there was a child in my belly, I kept vomiting like this, I couldn't even eat an egg, and I still lost weight quickly.
But Zhou Xi was strong and slowly got over it.
The birth of this baby went smoothly, maybe because I didn't eat meat. The baby was very small and his face was a little yellow.
However, after giving birth to the child, her appetite improved and she could eat meat and eggs.
But the doctor said, don’t eat too much at once to avoid discomfort.
Guan Xin lowered his head and glanced at his daughter, who was gradually getting fairer, and breathed a sigh of relief. This girl looked a bit like him. If her face looked like him, it would be difficult in the future.
It's good to be white, it's good to be white.
There was movement in the yard. Guan Xin quickly got up and went out. He saw Qian and three aunts from the Qian family coming in with a basket. When his son saw his grandmother, he rushed over and hugged her. He shouted very happily: "
Grandma!”
Qian's eyes narrowed with a smile, hugged him and asked, "Where are your father and mother?"
"Mom," Guan Xin hurriedly came up to her, smiled and took the things in her hands, then looked at her three aunts and called out, "eldest aunt, second aunt, third aunt."
He said: "Why are you bringing eggs here again? There are so many at home that I can hardly eat them."
Mr. Qian smiled and said: "Don't you have a cellar at home? If you can't eat it, store it in the cellar. It's cool underneath and can be stored for a longer time."
She said: "There is no need to always buy meat for her to eat. Eat more eggs, two in the morning and two at noon. Eating boiled eggs is better than meat."
Then he said: "There is also Xiaolang, it is the time when the body is growing, so he also wants to eat."
The three aunts smiled and said, "Yes, we can't wrong Xi'er and the children."
It was the first time for the three aunts to come to see the baby, and they all brought a basket of eggs and rice. This is considered a high etiquette nowadays when visiting a pregnant woman.
My aunt brought a hundred eggs.
Guan Xin really had a headache after receiving so many eggs.
But this thing couldn't be returned, so he put it in the corner of the room.
Qian and her three sisters-in-law went in to see Zhou Xi and asked, "Where is the sister-in-law who works for you? Why isn't she here?"
"Her child was disobedient and said he had heatstroke, so he went home for two days and came back tomorrow."
"It's the season and you're still suffering from heatstroke?"
"Who says it isn't? It's already autumn. I went out to play with other children and lost track of time. The sun stayed in the sun from morning to afternoon. I didn't drink even a little water. I forgot about the time while playing. Fortunately, there is a street on the street.
Someone was sent to Jishi Hall after he fainted, otherwise something big would happen."
The eldest aunt said: "This year is also evil. Although there is not much water, the sun is too strong. Every day when Si Zheng arrives, it is like a big furnace. It bakes people's skin until they are red. From Si Zheng to Shen Shi
It has been roasting like this for a long time, and many people have fainted in the field while harvesting wheat. It is really very hot."
Qian became worried, "It's okay here. I read a letter from Datou saying that not only is the sun over there in the capital sunny, but there is less rain, so this year's harvest is far less than last year's."
My eldest aunt knows that Zhou Man now has a lot of fields. I heard that she worked for the emperor's family and that the fields were given by the emperor and hired a lot of people to farm them.
So she asked worriedly, "The land full of treasures... won't be a loss, right?"
Qian laughed and said, "It's not a loss, but I'm afraid I won't make much money. This year is not going well, so everyone should be more frugal."
The eldest aunt could only nod.
The second aunt said: "However, the ginger and yams planted this year are both good. Erlang Qian'er also told us that we should divide the harvested ginger into old ginger and new ginger. After the old ginger is dried, he will transport it to the capital later.
, Xin Jiang will also be sent to Yizhou Prefecture. Sister, are you and your brother-in-law going to the capital again? "
Qian said with a smile: "Then we have to wait until this year's harvest is put into the warehouse, and Xi'er is also pregnant."
She said: "My big-headed daughter-in-law is about to give birth. We can take care of her when we go to the capital."
"Then the eldest daughter-in-law is here, why are you anxious?" The second aunt glanced at the eldest aunt and said with a smile, "Our eldest daughter has always been considerate, can she still take good care of her daughter-in-law?"
The eldest aunt had not seen her daughter for several years, and asked quickly: "Sister, Dalang and the others are still obedient in the capital, and they haven't caused any trouble to Manbao and the others, right?"
Zhou Xi gently patted the child and coaxed her to sleep. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Auntie, how could eldest brother and sister-in-law get into trouble? It's not like you don't know what sister-in-law is like. Manbao was raised by her.
We will only get closer and closer in the capital, so how can we say there is any trouble?"
Although she said this, Aunt Qian still felt that the family's foundation was the most important, and now the Zhou family's foundation was basically taken care of by Zhou Dalang and Zhou Dalang. On the contrary, Zhou Dalang, the eldest son, was always outside.
That's not right, it doesn't count as he is outside. He has been following Lao Zhoutou and Qian. It is also the eldest son's responsibility to take care of his parents.
Aunt Qian sighed, "As long as they are nice, I'm just worried that they are ignorant and will cause trouble to Man Bao in the capital."
Qian said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, Da Lang is my son and Man Bao is my daughter. You think too much."
The second aunt smiled and said: "If we have time, we can also go to the capital to see something."
She sighed and said, "Speaking of which, we watched Manbao grow up, but when she got married, we didn't even get a glass of wedding wine."
When Mrs. Qian heard this, she smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this? When Man Bao returns home, I'll ask her and her son-in-law to offer you three big bowls."
The second aunt was stunned, "Is Man Bao coming back?"
Qian smiled and said: "It will always come back. I heard Man Bao talk about the family leave they have for officials. They need to save up. The longer they save, the more days they can get when applying.
