The weather gradually got hotter in June, and the kang in the bungalow became even hotter. Su Anying was afraid that the child would develop prickly heat, so she dressed her son in half-sleeves and shorts.
The baby, who is nearly two months old, is chubby, and his arms and legs are as long as lotus roots.
The little guy was lying in the stroller and was bored. When he saw someone reaching out to him, he was probably so happy that he started dancing.
Xu Shiyan stretched out his hand, took his son out of the stroller, touched his buttocks, and found that the diaper was dry.
So I safely hugged my son and put him on my lap, lowered my head and looked at him, and deliberately made a sound with my tongue, making the little baby laugh.
After spending this time together, Xu Haiyuan didn't cry as soon as he saw Xu Shiyan. Instead, he could babbling and chatting with Xu Shiyan happily.
Xu Shiyan just coaxed his son, and agreed casually. From time to time, he picked up the rattle and shook it to attract his son's attention. The father and son got along quite harmoniously.
Unfortunately, this harmony was quickly broken. After a while, Xu Shiyan felt a heat on his legs.
Okay, he's such a big boy, and he peed on him again.
"You are a real troublemaker when you catch someone, right? Every time I hug you, you pee on me.
Thanks to your dad for being thoughtful and not changing his pants when he came back."
Xu Shiyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he quickly picked up his son, took out the wet diaper, and then took out another piece from the bed, folded it and stuffed it into the baby's pants.
"Daughter-in-law, my son peed all over me again." After changing the diaper, he turned to complain to his wife.
"Who told you not to pee? He can pee now. If you pick him up, he should pee first. Otherwise, why not pee on you?"
Su Anying heard it in the outer room and was speechless for a while.
"My mother and I are at home during the day, and I pee all the time. You see, I don't even need a few diapers now."
People of this era are like this, babies start to pee when they are one month old.
Xu Shiyan remembered that in his previous life, he heard someone say that children cannot pee well.
But everything is like this, what can he say? There are no diapers now, and if the child doesn't pee, the bed for such a big baby can fit into a large basin in one day.
The daughter-in-law is tired of coaxing the children to cook all day long, and then she has to wash so many clothes?
He is working all day long, and there is nothing he can do at home to help him, so stop giving random orders.
After all, these people have been here since they were young, so aren’t they all doing well?
"I changed his mattress and put it in the car. Where is the mattress he changed into today? I washed it together."
The pants were peed and had to be washed out. The wife was busy over there, so Xu Shiyan simply washed them with water himself and rubbed out a few pieces of pants.
While I was rubbing my clothes, Xu Shiqin came back.
"Hey, third brother, put it there quickly, I'll do it." Xu Shiqin saw his brother's clumsy way of rubbing clothes and quickly took over.
"Okay, you better go into the house and coax the child." Xu Shiqin drove his brother away with a look of disgust.
"Oh, by the way, third brother, when you go up the mountain, you have time to break off some oak tree leaves and come back.
It’s almost the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Forestry Bureau has distributed welfare, giving each person two kilograms of glutinous rice. I’m thinking that I still have rhubarb rice at home, so I can mix it with some rice dumplings to make it appropriate for the festival.”
Xu Shiqin remembered something and hurriedly gave Xu Shiyan instructions.
"You are an apprentice, do you have a lot of benefits?" Xu Shiyan was stunned when he heard this. Isn't this benefit so good? Even apprentices have it?
"Well, didn't my master say before? He needs to find someone for me to take care of the work.
I have been notified today, asking me to go back and change my household registration as soon as possible. So I will also have a share of the holiday benefits."
Xu Shiqin rubbed his clothes quickly and explained casually.
"So fast? Master You is amazing. OK, then I'll take some time to break off some oak tree leaves."
It’s not easy to eat rice dumplings these days. Rhubarb rice is okay as every household grows some, but rice dumpling leaves are hard to buy.
Most people use oak tree leaves to make rice dumplings. The leaves are large and the leaves are used to make rice dumplings. When cooked, the rice dumplings have a special fragrance and are very delicious.
Xu Shiyan went up the mountain all day long, so it was not difficult to break off some leaves.
"Little sister, you don't need your brother to go to the mountain to break them off. We have them in the woods behind our house, and the leaves are big."
As soon as Xu Shiyan agreed, Su Anying, who was serving food over there, said something.
"There are quite a few oak trees in the back hill, but they haven't grown yet. They are short trees with quite big leaves."
Su Anying was not idle at home. While her son was sleeping, she wandered around the house. She knew best what was in the woods behind.
"Today is the second day of the lunar month, and the day after tomorrow we can go to the woods and break it up. It happens to be the fifth day of the lunar month. Let's go back to the big house to see our parents, and then we can move my little sister's household registration out."
The Dragon Boat Festival is a big festival. Even if we separate, we still have to go back to see the elderly during the festival.
Not to mention, Xu Shiqin also had to change his household registration, so we just happened to do it together.
When Xu Shiyan suggested this, everyone had no objections, so they quickly packed up and ate.
After finishing the meal, Xu Shiyan quickly boiled a pot of water, poured Niu Maoguang into the pot and boiled it.
Pick out a piece of beef hair from the pot, split it from the root and pull it. If it can be split into two halves, it is done.
This thing can't be heated too much, it won't come out of the scale if it's heated too high, and it won't work if it's heated too lightly, because the color won't look good.
When the heat is just right, quickly use the fork used to pick out the beef hair and spread it out on the broken mat in the yard.
Xu Shiyan spent a lot of time this day, gathering almost seventy or eighty kilograms. One pot was not boiled, so he divided it into two pots.
"By the way, those are monkey legs. You can boil them separately later and keep them for cooking. You can also dry them and eat them in the winter."
Monkey's leg is also a type of fern. Compared with oxmaoguang, it has a groove on the stem.
Monkeys also have hair on their legs, which are flat black hairs, different from the fine yellow hairs on Niu Maoguang.
Niu Maoguang is actually not tasty and bitter in the eyes of Chinese people.
But the monkey legs are very delicious, fragrant and smooth. They are good when fried fresh. If they are dried and soaked in winter, they are good when mixed with cold dishes.
Xu Shiyan saw monkey legs in the mountains and picked up some of them. He didn't want to sell them and kept them for his own consumption.
Whether it's a cow's hair or a monkey's legs, you have to brush them after perming them.
In the evening, they built a fire in the yard, threw some mugwort on it to smoke out mosquitoes, and then the three of them started rubbing cow hair together until it was almost ten o'clock.
"Daughter-in-law, you have to show off your work at home tomorrow, and I have to go up the mountain. I will take advantage of this time to gather more.
If you don’t know how to do it, just ask your neighbors about the mountain that Huang Shengli, Sun Xiaofeng, and I went to together.
Aunt Huang and Aunt Sun will also show off their talents tomorrow, you can learn from them."
Twelve pounds of ox hair can be used to produce one pound, and the purchasing price at the purchasing station is two yuan and fifty cents.
Xu Shiyan got these back today, which can make about five or six kilograms. The season lasts for nearly half a month, and he can still get a hundred or ten yuan back.
This is quite a lot. After all, it can’t be compared with mountain climbing or hunting. In daily life, you have to earn big money, but you can’t let go of small money, right?
