Ling Xiaowei fell into a deep sleep with a smile on her lips.
The next day, Zhang Cuifen got up at dawn, rummaged through boxes and cabinets in her room and began to pack her things.
Ling Xiaowei lost her sleepiness, got up from the mat, walked to the room, and asked: "Aunt Zhang, what are you looking for!"
"Look for Mingming's childhood clothes and quilt, and send them to your Aunt Zhang Xiu's house later." Zhang Cuifen said excitedly.
"I'll go too." Ling Xiaowei suddenly became energetic. "I'm also looking for clothes from my childhood."
Then Ling Xiaowei went back to her room, rummaged through it, and packed it up. There was nothing she could wear. The clothes she wore were all given by others. She didn't know how many children she had handled.
It's tattered and has patches.
I can't get rid of these clothes, right! There is no shortage of fabrics at home, so she will make two sets of clothes for the baby.
Zhang Cuifen packed up a small bag of clothes, tucked it under her armpit, and called Ling Xiaowei: "Xiaowei, let's go."
Ling Xiaowei took a handmade woolen rabbit doll from the cabinet, which was perfect for babies to play with.
It was just dawn that day, but people in every household had already started working for the day. Passing by the neighbor's house in the back, the neighbor even said hello: "Are you going out so early?"
"It's still early, the sun is already out!" Zhang Cuifen said with a smile.
The two soon arrived at Zhang Xiu's house, two short brick houses with a faint yellow light coming from the windows.
There was smoke coming out of the chimney, and you could smell the aroma of beans from a distance.
I started making tofu so early.
The two entered the hut first. The doorway of the hut was very short. Zhang Cuifen had to bend down, but for Ling Xiaowei, it was just right.
It was very hot in the hut, and the big country was steaming. There was snow-white soy milk inside.
Next to Daguo there is a trough for making tofu and a net bag. At this moment, Zhang Xiu's husband, Ling San, is pouring soy milk into the net bag and filtering the bean dregs.
"Sister-in-law Zhang is here! Let's drink soy milk!" Ling San said with a naive smile, with enthusiasm on his face, but at the same time he was a little embarrassed. This Ling San was a well-known honest person in the village. He relied on his ancestral tofu craftsmanship to make a living.
It’s not bad that I only got a wife in my thirties, but it’s still better than those who didn’t get a wife.
"No more drinking. Is Zhang Xiu in the house? I'm going to see the child." Zhang Cuifen said.
When the child was mentioned, Ling San looked happy and said with a naive smile: "It's in the house, Zhang Xiu watched it all night."
Indeed, Zhang Xiu stayed up all night and just looked at the child. She became particularly nervous when the child moved. She had never raised a child, so she was very nervous, fearing that the baby would die if she ignored it.
That night, she fed the child five rice soups. She fed the child whenever it moved. Now the child slept soundly and she was a little sleepy.
"Xiu'er." Zhang Cuifen happily carried her clothes into the house.
This was the first time Ling Xiaowei came to Zhang Xiu's house. It was very simple. The house was not small, bigger than her house, but there were few furnitures in the house, and the floor was muddy and tattered.
Entering the east room, she immediately saw Zhang Xiu and the baby, lying head to head on the bed. Zhang Xiu woke up immediately when he heard the noise and said excitedly: "Sister Cuifen, you are here!"
Because of cerebral palsy, Zhang Xiu's movements were a bit stiff. She didn't move her body and tilted her head back to look at Zhang Cuifen.
In this dark room, this action is really scary.
"Don't get up, let me take a look at Xiaobao."
Zhang Cuifen said happily, then sat by the bed and looked at Xiaobao. Xiaobao was wearing a bellyband, a cotton embroidered bellyband, which was quite new.
"Oh, why is this little baby's belly so big?" Zhang Cuifen said in surprise, and then touched her belly. This bulging belly must be full of food.
"Xiu'er, how many times did you feed the child at night?" Zhang Cuifen said worriedly.
"What's wrong? I fed her five times. Whenever she moved, I fed her. I was afraid she would starve to death." Zhang Xiu said nervously.
Five meals! This will burst your belly! Ling Xiaowei looked at the baby worriedly.
She was wrinkled, her whole body was red, and her belly was unexpectedly big at the moment.
Would it be a wrong decision to leave Xiaobao to Zhang Xiu?
Zhang Xiu is not very smart, but she is by no means stupid. She is a bit stupid, but she knows basic common sense. I don’t know how she can keep the house in such good shape.
"Xiu'er, you can't raise your children like this, let me tell you..." Zhang Cuifen began to teach various parenting skills.
Zhang Xiu listened a lot to what children can and cannot eat, and how to take care of children when they are sick. Zhang Xiu listened very carefully. She kept these words firmly in her mind.
After a while, Zhang Xiu's husband, Ling San, came into the house with two bowls of soy milk, which were for Zhang Cuifang and Ling Xiaowei.
Ling Xiaowei was hungry, so she took the soy milk over politely and took a sip. It was really fragrant and delicious.
"This soy milk cannot be given to the baby. The baby will not be able to digest it." Zhang Cuifen took a sip and said.
Zhang Xiu remembered it. Although he didn't understand why, he remembered it.
Ling Xiaowei put the toy she brought next to Xiaobao's pillow. She really felt sorry for this baby.
Zhang Cuifen told Zhang Xiu a lot of precautions, and also took out the small clothes and quilt she brought with her, "This is from Mingming's childhood. It's not old, it's still very new. Let's give it to Xiaobao!"
It was already bright outside the house, and Ling Xiaowei kept touching Xiaobao from his hands to his feet. It was too dark last night and he didn't see clearly clearly. Today he can see clearly.
I can't tell whether it's beautiful or ugly, but the way it looks now, it's really not that good-looking. It's too red, like bacon.
Just when everyone was chatting happily, someone else came. They heard the sound of talking and laughing in the distance, and after a while, a monkey-like figure rushed in.
"Where's Xiaobao?" Shi Mingwei asked hurriedly as soon as he came in.
"Why are you here?" Shi Mingwei squatted on the bedside to look at Xiaobao, and said hello to Ling Xiaowei by the way.
"Why is it so ugly? It's wrinkled and looks like an old man." Shi Mingwei said unabashedly.
When Xu Xiaobao heard someone saying she was ugly, she twisted her face in dissatisfaction, rolled her eyes, and reached out to scratch in the air.
At this time, a group of people entered the house, including the village chief, village director, Grandpa Shi, and Shi Mingwei's uncle.
So many people came at once, which frightened the honest man Ling San. At this time, an old lady came over. At this time, Ling San's mother was excited and happy to see so many people coming. She thanked the party.
Thanks to the organization, a baby was sent to their home.
This matter should not be too sensational, so the village cadres took a look at it, gave some instructions, and then withdrew. They also left some food for the children, not much, but they were all practical.
