This little linen parcel had been prepared before.
As there were more and more linen in the tribe, people began to actively develop the uses of linen without much guidance from Han Cheng.
One of them is to make some linen cloth and fold it in several layers to make a small swaddling bag to wrap the newborn baby.
Of course, it is only used when the weather is hot. When it is cold, it will be wrapped in leather.
Compared with the swaddling clothes commonly used for swaddling children in the tribe, the swaddling clothes used by Han Cheng to swaddle his own children are more sophisticated in workmanship.
The fabrics used were all woven by Bai Xuemei herself, and they were all carefully beaten with a mallet more than once to make them very soft.
After cleaning and wrapping it up, the little one looks much more pleasing to the eye.
He stopped crying and kept his dark eyes open, not knowing what he was looking at.
The little guy's eyes look pretty, which suits Bai Xuemei very well.
Han Cheng handed the wrapped little one to Ruhua who was standing by the side and asked her to hold it first. Han Cheng used the clean water brought by others to start a simple cleaning for Bai Xuemei.
Han Cheng tried to slowly pull the placenta with his hands, and found that the placenta had fallen off, so he slowly pulled it out.
Han Cheng asked people to shovel it with a bone shovel, bury it deeply on the dung pile outside, and fertilize it.
Han Cheng had no desire to let people eat this thing.
After giving Bai Xuemei a simple cleaning, I put her into clean clothes.
The benefits of natural childbirth and the strong physical fitness of primitive people are reflected at this time.
With Han Cheng's help, Bai Xuemei slowly stood up from the ground.
Many people didn't like children very much before they had children, but once they had children, they immediately became different.
Bai Xuemei, who originally liked children, became even more radiant after giving birth to a child.
Regardless of his own weakness, he stretched out his arms to hug the little guy.
Han Cheng thought for a while, then took the little guy from Ruhua's arms and let Bai Xuemei hold him.
After a while, the little guy fell asleep. Looking at the not-so-good-looking little guy, Sister Bai Xue grinned happily.
Huo Er, who was standing by, saw that it was really uncomfortable for her to hold the baby, so he stepped forward and gave instructions on how to hold the soft baby.
The toilet in summer is not a place to stay for a long time, and the smell inside is really quite unpleasant.
After handling the necessary matters, Han Chenggong and Ruhua helped Bai Xuemei and slowly walked towards the room.
The little guy was held by Bai Xuemei herself.
Originally, Han Cheng didn't want Bai Xuemei to carry him away, but Bai Xuemei was reluctant to let go.
Han Cheng looked at Bai Xuemei carefully and felt that she was in good condition, so he didn't force her.
The group of people slowly came to the house where Han Cheng lived. Wu, who had returned from the quarry, stood at the door and opened the door curtain to let Han Cheng and others in.
The door curtain is made of linen sent by the Fire Tribe, with a bamboo pole on each side.
The upper bamboo pole is lighter and the lower bamboo pole is heavier. In this case, hanging on the door frame can stretch the linen cloth and cover the entire doorway.
The windows are also treated with the same materials and similar techniques.
In this way, the room can be ventilated and breathable in summer, while being free from mosquitoes.
The low-quality cloth sent by the Fire Tribe is still very good for making screens and door curtains.
When he came to the room, Han Cheng did not let Bai Xuemei sit on the kang directly. Instead, he first took off the big bamboo mat on the kang, spread a layer of linen on the straw mat under the bamboo mat, and then let Bai Xuemei sit on the kang.
The bamboo mat was made a year ago by the first carpenter of the Qingque tribe, Jia Mianjia, under the instruction of Han Cheng.
The materials used are bamboo and thin hemp rope.
The workmanship is of course relatively rough, and one piece of bamboo mat can be worth several pieces from later generations. It is not very neat, but it is undeniable that this is indeed a bamboo mat.
There are not many bamboo mats like this in the tribe. They only exist on the kang where no more than ten people, including Han Cheng, Wu, and Senior Brother, can sleep.
It's not that Han Cheng and others deliberately used this method to highlight their identities, but the production of bamboo mats is labor-intensive and time-consuming, and they can't make much at one time.
But in summer, the characteristics of bamboo mats will be highlighted.
With the existence of these characteristics, as time goes by, the number of bamboo mats in the tribe will slowly increase.
Han Cheng took off the bamboo mat because the bamboo mat was cooler and people who had just given birth were more delicate and needed to be more careful.
Although the bodies of primitive people are relatively strong, Han Cheng still did this, otherwise Bai Xuemei would suffer from some problems due to this, which would be regrettable.
The little guy was also picked up by Han Cheng and placed on the kang without letting Bai Xuemei hold him again.
A newborn baby should not be held constantly. If it is used to being held and it cries just thinking about being held and puts it on the kang, the adults will be very busy.
After settling the mother and son, and greeting the others with a smile, Han Cheng got up and left the room, all the way to the cave that served as the kitchen.
Add some water to a smaller stove, close the lid and start lighting the water.
After the water boiled, Han Cheng walked to the jar and took out three eggs.
There are three eggs, one large and two small. The small one is a chicken egg and the big one is a wild goose egg.
One wild goose egg is almost as good as three chicken eggs.
With a crisp sound of "papapapa...", Han Cheng skillfully beat three eggs into the pot.
Then he turned around and added some firewood to the stove. After waiting for a while, he saw that the eggs had changed color. After they solidified, he used a hardwood spatula to gently scoop them up to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
After cooking for a while, use a wooden spatula to gently press the eggs. When you see that they are ready, take them out with the eggs and soup.
Let it cool down a little, put some honey in it, and a bowl of nutritious poached eggs will be good.
A woman who has just given birth can eat a poached egg with honey for every meal during the three days after giving birth. This is a rule set by Han Cheng.
As the rule maker, Han Cheng naturally does not need to abide by this rule. After all, he has the greatest privilege in the tribe.
So he cracked three eggs for Bai Xuemei at once, and one of them was a large wild goose egg.
Han Cheng felt at ease doing such things.
You cannot pursue absolute fairness everywhere in life. In fact, absolute fairness is the greatest injustice.
It is only fair to work as much as you want and eat as much as you want. Otherwise, if you have worked your butt off and made a lot of things, your living standards and treatment will be exactly the same as those of those who make soy sauce. Thinking about this makes people angry.
Primitive people don't have much resistance to sweets...well...it seems that they have no resistance to any more savory food.
A bowl of poached eggs was brought over, and without much effort, Bai Xuemei had eaten it completely without leaving even a drop of soup.
As soon as the mother-in-law Bai Xuemei was taken care of, the little guy over there had already peed.
Fortunately, Han Cheng had the foresight to put the little guy on the kang, loosen the swaddling clothes on him, and cover him with a thin linen sheet, leaving the little bird exposed.
When the little guy pees, it is enough to put Han Cheng, a father, to shame.
Lying on the kang without moving, a column of crystal water spanned a distance of more than two meters and fell to the ground.
Fu Jiang, who was lying there, was caught off guard and was doused on his head. He shook his body and left the house with some resentment, unwilling to stay under the same roof with this dangerous little master.
