Early in the morning on the third day of washing, Dong’s courtyard was very lively.
Li Hui, Guo Dake and others were sitting in the courtyard chatting and congratulating Dong Cheng. Cheng Xue and other female relatives entered the moon room to look after the children and Mrs. Xu.
Wanghe Village has rules for organizing third-party baths, but there are almost none for girls. Even in ancient times, Li Hui and his wife only did it for two boys, and the girls did not bother.
Mrs. Dong Yang mixed the warm water, and Mrs. Geng put the mugwort and other things Cheng Xue gave her into the water. It was precisely because of these things that she was able to successfully enter the Dong family. Dong Lisong was really angry.
Let the couple come in, but Geng didn't say anything to his daughter. He didn't want his daughter-in-law to get angry, so he just turned a blind eye.
Under the guidance of the seventh aunt, Dong Yuanyuan's three-year bath was just beginning. The little girl's name was given by Li Hui just now, and she is one of the few girls in the village who has a name just after she was born.
Although boys are very important to carry on the family line, if there are only boys in the family but no girls, and one comes out of the blue, it would be really favored.
Cheng Xue looked at the fair little girl and could predict her future life.
Grandpa, father, two uncles, two brothers, a cousin...
Tsk tsk tsk, what a perfect character for Tuan Chong’s online article!
After taking a bath, Dong Yuanyuan was carried out by Geng, and Cheng Xue checked Xu's pulse.
He stopped his hand for a moment, nodded slowly and said:
"It seems that the recovery is good now, but the medicine cannot be stopped. Don't rush to breastfeed, I have a recipe for breastfeeding."
"Don't worry, I kept squeezing out the milk and didn't let the milk go back." Mrs. Xu responded with a smile, "The doctor prescribed the medicine for seven days. During this period, the five younger siblings were feeding the child. He took away a lot of food from the target. I'm really sorry."
/p>
"Look at what my sister-in-law said, we are a family, not to mention Sister Yuan is the eldest child of our family, so her brother should let her go." Mrs. Yu smiled and shook her head.
I have to say that the three sisters-in-law in the Dong family get along really well. As for the two aunts...
The second aunt became a widow. She was resentful of her parents' family and did not visit her again. However, she accepted all the things her parents' family gave her. The eldest aunt lived a good life, but she was married a little far away and could only communicate by letter occasionally. So she got a daughter.
I didn’t tell them about it, it would be troublesome.
Everyone tacitly avoided the two sisters and chatted about everyday things.
Xu Jin also came today and brought a lot of things. He specifically said that one of the things was given by his eldest brother Xu Kun. Although he is still not very talkative, he is obviously very smart when it comes to favors. After all, with this surname, Xu will be more annoyed.
You can't hold grudges, Dong Lisong also has to give face.
Fortunately, Xu Daguo didn't come, otherwise the old man would have been worried about whether to let in or not.
Dong Yang took the lead in making the banquet, and worked with Guo Yang and several others. There were four tables with twelve dishes on each table, which was quite sumptuous.
As the first winter snow fell, the two workshops in the west and south of the village began to get busy.
Needless to say, pine nuts, hazelnuts and melon seeds have returned to being shipped every five days. This year, due to the opening of two more stir-fry shops, the demand for green leafy vegetables such as cabbage and lettuce is particularly high. If it weren't for the large land
, there is enough manure, but with this frequency and intensity of demand, we simply cannot supply it.
Of course, such frequency of asking for food also means making more money, but when Cheng Xue vowed to go to Pang Lao to ask about the housing prices in the capital, she had to come back in despair and save money. It’s not that she can’t buy a house in the capital with the money she has, but she needs to
To accommodate so many of them, we have to use our capital.
Cheng Xue is a character who is good at saving money and seeks stability. She has to save enough food for two years, let alone capital. She has to save a part every year, and she can’t do it if she can.
Li Hui saw her dejected look, smiled and patted her shoulder, saying:
"Why are you in a hurry? Take your time. You still have me. We just have enough now."
Cheng Xue sighed, shook her head, and said:
"It's definitely not enough. I want to earn more."
As long as the family is not short of money, Li Hui will have no worries after becoming an official. It's not that she doesn't believe in Li Hui's character, but many things have to be taken care of. The officialdom is a big dyeing vat, and once you get out of the mud, it will be troublesome.
.
Li Hui noticed her worry and gently stroked the top of her hair.
"Don't worry, I can handle it. Don't forget, I have lived in the compound for many years, and I have learned a few things. I think the old man has been doing well recently, and his energy and energy are better than before."
After Cheng Xue's careful care these days, not only Li Hui's health has improved, but Pang Lao is also more energetic than before, and he hasn't said "after I leave" for a long time. The same is true for Zhou Fei. Before leaving at the end of last month, Lian
I specially sent a lot of things as a thank you.
Cheng Xue smiled and pushed his hand away, said "hmm" and said:
"I have put some warm and tonic herbs in the soup and porridge you drink. How to take care of your body in autumn and winter? Now that you don't stay up late, your health will naturally improve."
Nowadays, Mr. Pang teaches Li Hui for two hours every day. During the rest of the time, he either plays chess or practices calligraphy, and occasionally goes to the village. He lives a very comfortable life. Li Hui adheres to the principle of going to bed early and getting up early, and he can clearly feel the pain in his body.
Strong.
After changing the topic, Cheng Xue chatted with him about going to Beijing after the year.
She must take all four Tiandong brothers and sisters, Shunxi and Shuangxi, but she originally wanted to keep one, but Li Hui suggested taking them all. It doesn't matter if there are many people on the road, but she is afraid that someone will come and cause trouble. Even if Wentian is following, she still has to pay attention.
Some.
Cheng Xue nodded after hearing this and immediately wrote down their names. She was used to recording everything with pen and paper so that she would not forget and avoid omissions.
It's very cloudy outside, and the visibility inside the house has dropped just after noon. I guess it's snowing a lot.
Just as he was thinking about it, Yu Niang came in from outside, bowed her knees and said:
"Madam, Shunxi bought a pair of sheep bones. How about stirring them in the stove at night? It's snowing outside."
"Are you leaving now?"
"Yes."
Cheng Xue nodded, went to the ground to put on her shoes and said:
“I’ve finished the ingredients I fried last time, so I’ll stir-fry some more today and use a mandarin duck stir-fry.”
"Got it."
As Yu Niang spoke, she took her arm and went out. Li Hui smiled and continued to lower his head to read. Hearing the movement in Nuang Pavilion, he put down the book and went over. He saw Li Huaizheng lying on his back with his eyes blinking after waking up.
"Are you awake?"
Li Huai got up with a "hmm", came up to Li Hui and hugged his neck, saying:
"Dad, where is my mother?"
In the past, it was Cheng Xue who woke up, but today I didn’t see anyone, so I had to ask. At this moment, Li Hui suddenly remembered the modern joke, where a child calls dad followed by “mom”!
"Your mother has gone to the kitchen. Do you want to find your sister or are you playing here?"
"Looking for my mother."
Feeling the benefit of the little guy rubbing his neck, Li Hui carried him back to the kang.
"Forget it, your mother is cooking food. The kitchen is too spicy and you can't stand it. Dad will read you travel notes?"
A while ago, Mr. Pang returned to Fucheng and brought back many books. Some of the travel notes were written by Mr. Pang himself, which were interesting to read.
The little guy couldn't help but nod his head when he heard reading. He likes to listen to stories the most...
