"The baby is a little strange today. I received a letter from her father and her brother. Normally she would have rushed over and clamored to read the letter, but this one didn't even come to me all day long. After all,

what are you doing?"

In the hall in the front yard, Yang Ruoqing, Luo Tiejiang and Tuoba Xian had just completed the belief of Luo Fengtang and Chen'er, and couldn't help but look forward and back, looking for the little girl.

Blacksmith Luo has been busy in the fish pond all day and night. In this month, the fish in the fish pond have ushered in another peak growth period, so they need to fatten up and increase the frequency of feeding.

"I didn't see her when I first entered the house. Maybe she went to the village to play with her friends!" Blacksmith Luo said.

Tuoba Xian smiled and shook her head slightly, "No, I haven't even stepped out of the door since I got up today."

"Ah? Where were you hiding? Could it be that you went to the play room?" Blacksmith Luo asked again.

The so-called play room refers to the fact that before their two children were born, while building this grand mansion, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang planned several rooms, as big as a warehouse, specially designed to be a children's paradise.

The colorful toys, rocking horses, slides, and trampolines accompany Luo Baobao and Dazhi as they grow up.

It's a pity that Chen'er has never played those...

"Not in the play room either," Tuoba Xian continued, picking up the feeling of disappointment in her heart.

"She didn't allow me to say it. You will understand later when we have dinner." Tuoba Xian said again.

Then she stood up, holding the prayer beads in one hand and gently fiddling with them, while in the other hand she held tightly the page of the letter from home that Chen'er had written to her alone and went back to the house.

Although she had heard Qing'er read the letter home written by her precious grandson before, it was not enough. She had to take it back home and read it again carefully...

At noon, lunch was finally put on the table to Yang Ruoqing's expectation, and Baby Luo finally appeared.

Seeing that she was wearing a colorful apron around her waist, the sleeves of her hands were rolled up to her arms, and her white and tender arms were stained with two pieces of pot ash, Yang Ruoqing suddenly guessed something.

"Mom, you used to cook for me, but now that I have grown up, I will cook for you too!"

The little girl came over, hugged Yang Ruoqing's arm and shook it gently, saying softly.

Yang Ruoqing leaned over and rubbed her head: "Okay, what did you cook for your mother?"

"Keep it secret for now, it's on the table!" Luo Baobao said.

Yang Ruoqing patted Luo Baobao on the shoulder: "Let's go and take a look. Mom will eat three big bowls of rice because of the food you cooked this afternoon!"

"Mom, didn't you say a few days ago that your cheeks are round and you need to eat less and lose weight?" Baby Luo raised his head and asked.

Yang Ruoqing said: "You cooked for me today. Even if my mother is fat, she is still worth it. Let's go and eat some food!"

…

The small yard built by the Xiang family at the entrance of the village is about to be completed, and the day to move into the new house has been set for the tenth day of October, which means it is perfect.

No, on the first day of October, the weather was good and the autumn sun was warm. Yang Huazhong and Xiao Jie's father each drove a carriage, carrying the eldest Sun, the Sun sisters, and the children of the family to the nearby Qingshui Town.

When the Xiang family moved into their new house, the Yang Huazhong family needed to give gifts, but the eldest Sun family did not need them. However, the eldest Sun family went to the Zhang family in town specifically to visit Xiaojie.

"Auntie, is Xiaojie going to be pregnant soon?" Yang Ruoqing rode beside the carriage, and Luo Baobao rode a smaller maroon horse beside Yang Ruoqing.

When Yang Ruoqing was chatting with Da Sun in the carriage, Baobao Luo waved to Feng'er in the carriage.

Feng'er stood at the car window and watched Baobao Luo riding a horse. The little guy was extremely envious.

Mrs. Sun then hugged Feng'er and asked him to sit on her lap. She said to Yang Ruoqing: "It's almost time. There are only a few days left. I have discussed it with your uncle and your uncle.

I will take Xiaojie back as soon as she is one month old, and then I will give her a make-up."

Hearing Da Sun's words, Yang Ruoqing opened her eyes wide in surprise.

"Auntie, you are really good at it. I see that most of the wives in our village can lie down in bed for half a month when they have a baby. It's really great that you can give Xiaojie two months at a time.

Give it your all!"

Yang Ruoqing felt that what she said was not an exaggeration at all.

Needless to say, women from powerful families in this era had to give birth to children. They were served by various servants, fed with all kinds of good food, and several wet nurses took turns feeding the children.

On the other hand, women from farmers' families are much more fragile when giving birth. It is estimated that many of their wives are still working before giving birth. It would be better if the child is a boy, and he can stay in bed for half a month.

It is said that it is a month of confinement. For the first fifteen days, you will lie down and be cared for by someone. In the next fifteen days, you will have to go to the ground to wash the baby. You will have to wash the diapers changed by the baby and your own dirty clothes.

, the prerequisite is to give birth to a son.

If the baby is a girl, then sorry, the service for the first fifteen days will be gone.

During the confinement period, washing and cooking meals for the whole family are all the tasks of a postpartum woman.

When my mother, Mrs. Sun, gave birth to me, she had to cook two meals during the confinement period.

As for the fourth aunt Liu, she gave birth to three girls in a row, and shoveled the pig pen for three months, which left the root of the disease in Liu's waist. She suffered from lower back pain when it was windy or rainy.

When the fifth aunt Bao Suyun gave birth to a daughter, her only brother happened to pass away. This was so tragic, so the Tan family spared her for the time being.

As for the second sister-in-law, Cao Bamei, and the third sister-in-law, Zhao Liuer, who later gave birth to daughters, although Mrs. Tan was not happy, due to the fact that she was a grandson-in-law, separated by generations, and having a grandson to protect her, Mrs. Tan did not reach out to her granddaughter-in-law except for her unpleasant words.

's house.

In addition, Yang Yongjin and Yang Yongzhi are both good men who love their wives, so the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law were able to live a complete confinement period.

"Qing'er, don't be surprised, right? Think about your birthday and your baby, if your mother hadn't stood up and said it, your Tangyazi would have made you sit in bed for three months! Now, Xiaojie

After two months, it’s nothing!”

Da Sun's voice pulled Yang Ruoqing back from her thoughts.

She couldn't help but remember that when she gave birth to her child, Tang Yazi was more nervous than she was. Later, after the confinement period, when the aunt and the others had cooked delicious food, he would bring it to the house.

She also went to the mountains to hunt game to keep her appetite, and went to the county town to buy snacks. So when she was in confinement, she had a double chin. She would bury her head to pick up things on the ground, and blood would rush into her cheeks.

It was so tight that even if Mrs. Sun hadn't said anything, she would have firmly refused the three-month-old baby.

"One month has passed for my husband's family, and another month has passed for my mother's family. Xiaojie can be considered happy among us women!" Yang Ruoqing said with emotion.

Da Sun said: "Your mother and I are women ourselves. Your mother didn't say it at the beginning. Confinement period is hard. I stayed at home to find a son-in-law. Your mother-in-law gave me two months during my confinement period."

Where is the child?"

"Later, Huang Mao gave birth to Xiao Shunzi, and I also gave her a double confinement. Regardless of whether she was a daughter-in-law or a daughter, she was all of my own flesh and blood. After all, it was right to take good care of her body. I can handle this bowl of water, and I believe Huang Mao can't do it either.
