Scales are very useful, such as knowing exactly how many kilograms of millet are produced per mu.
For example, accurately grasp the changes in Bai Xuemei's weight.
Another example is what is going on right now, weighing a newborn baby.
Heiwa becomes a father again.
It has been almost three years since this guy and Zhuang became spouses, but even now, the two of them are still very much on fire.
I really don’t know where they get so much energy and passion.
Even though Han Cheng told Hei Wa more than once that young people should exercise restraint to avoid crying in vain in the future... the passion between the two still did not diminish much.
If the seeds are sown more frequently, the germination rate of the seeds will be higher. No, the first child in the Heiwa family has just learned to stagger away, and the second one has already been born.
In order to give birth to this child, Zhuang suffered a lot. It was more laborious than giving birth to the first child. His screams of pain filled the entire tribe.
Han Chengdu even wanted to go and deliver the baby himself.
In the face of life, any differences between men and women must be pushed aside.
Moreover, Han Cheng has already noticed Zhuangzhuang for a long time...
Just when Han Cheng was encouraging himself, rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands and was about to go over, the loud cry of a newborn baby rang out in the room.
Then Hei Wa's voice of surprise also rang out.
Han Cheng and some other people waiting outside went into the house.
"Ouch!"
After seeing this newborn baby who was not very clean, Han Cheng couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
It's not that this little guy has two little sparrows, but he is big enough.
He is obviously fatter than the average baby.
No wonder Zhuang put so much effort into giving birth for the second time!
As Han Cheng thought, Hei Wa over there was already busy looking for a scale to weigh the newborn baby.
Weighing newborn children was something that became popular in the tribe after Han Cheng came up with the scale.
In fact, before the scales were invented, people in the tribe were very concerned about the size of newborn babies.
Experience tells them that the larger the newborn baby is, the stronger it is and the easier it is to survive.
In the past, there were no scales, so we could only measure babies based on their size. There was no way to determine which baby was bigger and by how much.
Now with scales, everything has become extraordinary. People can accurately know the weight of their newborn babies.
As a result, there were several babies in the tribe named five and a half pounds, six pounds...
Giving birth to a big fat boy is not only a great joy for the mother, but Heiwa, a second-time father, is also extremely happy.
The child born two months ago by Liang's spouse weighed six pounds and seven taels, making it the heaviest baby born in the Qingque tribe since the advent of scales.
Tietou felt a little unhappy every time he heard Liang and the others yelling "six catties and seven, six catties and seven."
Because his first child was obviously bigger than Bi Liang's child, but because there was no scale, the first place fell on Liang's head, who weighed six pounds and seven pounds.
Now that Zhuang has given birth to such a big fat boy, it would be strange if he didn't rush to find a scale.
A scale was found, and the crying baby was wrapped in a kilogram of animal skin mattress and hung on the hook of the scale.
The rope on the scale weighed past the eight kilograms, but the scale beam was still tilted high, showing that the baby hanging in front of it weighed far more than seven kilograms.
With a happy face on his face, Hei Wa continued to move the scale back until it reached nine catties and eight taels before the scale beam was considered balanced.
Excluding one pound of skin, this child actually weighs eight pounds and eight taels?!
Han Cheng, who saw the result from the sidelines, couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Hei Wa and Zhuang are really awesome!
Heiwa's mental arithmetic ability was not strong enough. Nine catties and eight taels minus one catty equaled eight catties and eight taels. He thought for a long time before he figured it out.
Just when he was about to shout joyfully to announce the good news to everyone, the scale beam that had been stable just now suddenly slowly dropped down.
At the same time, a crystal water column shot out from between the legs of the newborn baby, with a range of two meters that made all the adults in the room feel ashamed...
Hei Wa's eyes widened, looking at the water column that continued to spray from between his son's legs, and then at the scale beam that continued to hang downward, with a dull look on his face.
"thump!"
The weight of the scale fell to the ground, and the scale beam that had lost its control was raised high. At this time, the fat boy from the Heiwa family was still peeing.
When he finished urinating, he picked up the scale and weighed it again, only nine pounds and three ounces were left. In other words, this guy had peeed out as much as half a kilogram, and his weight was only eight pounds and three pounds.
two!
"You naughty thing!"
Unable to accept this result, the furious Heiwa made a show of slapping the infant, who was sucking his fingers innocently.
"Hahaha……"
Everyone watching around couldn't help laughing.
From then on, the second child in the Heiwa family had a name, Banjin.
Whenever someone calls him like this, Heiwa will slap Banjin's body in frustration.
He pretended to hate iron and said, "I won't hold it back..."
The millet was beaten for the third time, and this time the millet obtained was only fifty-one kilograms.
While Balloon and others were pounding the millet, Senior Brother and others also carried stone hoe and bone shovel to plow the fields where millet and rapeseed had been harvested.
After it has been exposed to the sun for a period of time, it is better to plant rapeseed.
Most of these lands have been plowed at least once, and there are not many grass roots, tree roots, gravels, and other things. The plowing is much faster than clearing land, so it does not take too much time.
While the senior brother and the others were doing this, Han Cheng was not idle. He led some people who focused on logistics to stock up on storable food.
At the same time, the original four canoes and the two newly built canoes were fully inspected.
The oars and pole cables were also carefully inspected.
These are all things related to life safety, so it’s impossible not to check them carefully.
In addition to these, stone sickles, bone sickles, ropes and other things have been prepared and inspected.
The autumn wind has begun, and the leaves are withering. It's time to go down the river, harvest wild hemp, and fulfill the promise to the Fire Tribe along the way.
At this time, the millet has been harvested, dried, and stored in the house. The field for planting rape has also been turned over. It is not yet time to pick the fruits, so it happens to be free.
After hauling wild hemp back from the downstream, it was just in time to plant rapeseed and pick fruits.
Tietou looked at the empty deer pen and several canoes parked by the river, looking a little worried.
The deer went out to graze, and based on past experience, he now led a few other people who often mow the grass out together.
But now, he is in the tribe.
The few people who often cut grass with him are also in the tribe.
Looking at the stacked haystacks, which were not very tall, and thinking about the deer and rabbit herds that had expanded a lot, Tietou hesitated for a while, and finally turned towards Han, who was directing people to carry things to the canoe.
