Chapter 13: The Parenting Sutra
[The list of new books of milk plants has dropped to 48, please vote for your friends, and remember to invest a wave if you haven't invested yet. Thank you. 】
Aunt Liu Mei has talked about this matter, and Chen Yang naturally refuses to excuse herself.
He said with a grateful face: "Then Auntie, Xiao Qian will trouble you, milk powder and his diapers, tissues, spare pants and other things are in the backpack." ”
Chen Yang picked up the backpack on the ground and handed it to Aunt Liu Mei.
Liu Mei stretched out a hand, put the backpack directly on her shoulder, and then hugged Xiao Qian with both hands, and said while walking back: "No problem, don't stand stupidly, I have brought up my two children with my own hands, Xiao Qian will be handed over to me, you can rest assured." ”
Chen Yang nodded, he wanted to say a few more words to Xiao Qian, but Aunt Liu Mei had already walked a long way.
Since Xiao Qian now has someone to help take care of him, he naturally has to pull peanuts as soon as possible. The more peanuts you pull today, the more money you can make tomorrow.
However, Chen Yang obviously underestimated his feelings for Xiao Qian.
During this day, although the peanut pulled it hard, it became very irritable because he couldn't see Xiaoqian.
I thought it would be fine if I couldn't see Xiao Qian, but he was wrong.
After Xiao Qian was taken away by Aunt Liu Mei, he was thinking about Xiao Qian every second, afraid that he would fall, touch, knock, be hungry, and be thirsty.
I'm afraid that he will feel scared because he can't see his father, and he will cry out of breath because he is insecure.
Although Xiao Qian couldn't walk yet, Chen Yang's mind imagined out of thin air that Aunt Liu Mei accidentally stepped on a banana peel or tripped over something else while walking with Xiao Qian.
If that were the case, Xiao Qian would definitely be thrown far, far away, and then fall very hard, very badly, very badly.
Even......
Thinking of this, he quickly took out his mobile phone to see if there were any missed calls on his phone.
If something really happened to Xiao Qian, Aunt Liu Mei would definitely call him as soon as possible.
Fortunately, the phone does not show a missed call.
He breathed a sigh of relief and pressed the button to increase the volume, and a series of sounds such as the ringtone, system sound, and alarm clock sound were all turned on to the maximum.
Moreover, he did not put the phone back in his pocket, but put it directly on the ground.
That way, if someone calls, he'll be the first to find out......
It's time for lunch. He took out a cold rice ball about two fists in his snakeskin bag and devoured it on the cold boiled water that had been sunburned to some temperature.
There were no vegetables, no other food, just cold rice balls and cold boiled water.
After eating, he did not rest, and continued to pluck peanuts.
From morning to noon, from noon to evening.
The Sun has undergone the first birth and the middle heaven and the setting.
Chen Yang's heart has been in turmoil since the moment he was separated from Xiao Qian, and the sense of uneasiness will only become stronger and stronger with the growth of time, and there is no such thing as landing.
In the hurry to clean up the peanut vines in the field, thinking that he would soon see Xiao Qian, he finally understood why people always say, 'No matter how hard it is, you must take your child with you'.
Because children are the lifeblood of their parents and the spiritual pillar of their parents, once separated, they will be like addicts @ gentlemen without big @ hemp, like drunkards without spirits, like birds without wings......
Only by taking your children with you can you feel the meaning of life.
The joy and satisfaction of taking care of children by hand is incomparable to any job.
And the child's growth is only once, and it cannot be turned back, let alone repeated. Once you miss it, you really miss it.
Chen Yang hopes that he can still take Xiaoqian with him and accompany him every moment of his growth when he is not forced to do so.
Therefore, no matter how difficult it is in the future, as long as you are not cornered, then keep Xiao Qian by your side.
Like a river surrounding a mountain, like a white cloud clinging to the blue sky, as long as you still have the ability, no matter how hard or difficult it is, you have to take Xiaoqian with you.
Although having someone to help take care of the child can make it easier for you, but in exchange for the child's insecurity and your own worries. If so, it's better to keep it with you, although it will be a little harder, but as long as the child is with you, you will be happy.
Although the child can't speak yet, his heart will definitely be surrounded by a full sense of security because he can see his father all the time.
After Chen Yang took the peanut vine and other things home in a wheelbarrow, he hurriedly ran to the village chief's house.
Before he entered the gate of the village chief's house, he heard Xiao Qian's cry from afar.
Chen Yang's heart twitched, and he hurriedly pushed the door and ran in.
When I ran to the door of the hall, I happened to see Aunt Liu Mei holding Xiao Qian, who was crying and crying, trying to coax her.
The black shadow blocked the light at the door of the hall, Liu Mei looked up, and saw that it was Chen Yang, her brows immediately relaxed, and she said with a smile: "Oh, Chen Yang, you are finally here, look at what happened to Xiao Qian? I have been crying since I woke up, I washed the milk powder, and he refused to drink it." ”
As if feeling his father's breath, before Chen Yang could speak, Xiao Qian turned his head, opened his eyes, and looked at him with teary eyes, his mouth was still crying sadly, and his two little hands were also stretched out.
Chen Yang hurriedly walked over, ignoring the stinky sweat on his body, and immediately took Xiao Qian from Aunt Liu Mei's hands.
At the moment when he hugged Xiao Qian into his arms, he really had a feeling of hugging the whole world.
He swore that he would never leave Xiao Qian easily in the future.
As soon as Xiao Qian entered his father's arms, he tried his best to bury his little body in his father's arms.
One of his little hands, with all his might, grabbed his father's collar as if he was afraid that his father would disappear out of thin air.
Miraculously, his original heart-rending cry stopped abruptly the moment it touched his father's chest.
It's as if an erupting volcano was extinguished in an instant because it sank underground.
Liu Mei said with a smile: "Look, how old is Xiao Qian? Alas, at the end of the day, children still need parents. ”
Chen Yang nodded with deep feeling: "Auntie, I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble today." ”
Liu Mei turned around and picked up the bottle from the table, handed it to Chen Yang and said, "Don't say this kind of thing, I didn't help anything, I just took the child by the way." ”
Chen Yang put the warm bottle to Xiao Qian's mouth, and the little guy immediately ate it hard.
Back at home, Chen Yang first put Xiao Qian in the crib, turned on the TV, and then ordered Dashan to guard Xiao Qian, and he went to take a bath.
After washing off the stinky sweat, I changed into clean clothes and began to have dinner.
The first step for dinner is to cook rice in a rice cooker.
There are still the last dozen catties of rice in the rice tank, and it will definitely not last for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Because Baishi Village is located between the mountains, the light hours are short, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, so rice can only be planted once a year, and it is generally not harvested until August 15.
After harvesting, it has to be exposed to the sun on the roof for a few days before the rice can be milled with a rice mill.
After Chen Yang stared at the rice bowl for a while, he measured a tube of rice in the rice cooker with a bamboo tube, and then went to wash rice and cook rice.
After cooking, kill the small carp that I bought in the morning, put the whole carp on a plate, cut in some ginger, and then go to the kitchen to make a fire.
The area of the kitchen is not large, only about ten square meters, and after the stove takes up one or two square meters, there are only less than ten square meters left.
Add a few finger-thick pieces of wood to the stove, then light a fire with pine blocks, and when the wood is completely burned, add two or three thicker pieces of wood.
At this time, a jubilant flame jumped out of the top of the stove. Chen Yang put a large iron pot with a diameter of about forty or fifty centimeters.
The big iron pot covered the round mouth of the stove roof, and the jubilant flames that had been running straight up immediately fled to the edge of the iron pot.
After a while, the iron pot was hot, and two spoonfuls of peanut oil from last winter were added. Wait another ten seconds or so, and then put the whole carp into the pot.
There was a stabbing sound, and white smoke instantly rose in the pot.
If you fry the fish in hot oil before making the soup, the soup will be as white as milk.
Fry the fish until it is half-cooked on both sides, add a spoonful of water to the pan and bring to a boil over high heat.
When the soup boils, remove two more firewood from the stove and change to low heat and simmer.
During this period, of course, he would not forget to go to see Xiao Qian from time to time.
Xiao Qian is very well-behaved, always lying in the crib, falling into deep thought for a while, and babbling to himself for a while.
Because it takes some time to cook the fish soup, Chen Yang took advantage of this gap to go to the field and pick two eggplants and came back.
Wash the eggplant and cut it into thumb-length pieces, and set aside on a plate.
The snails were only picked up this morning, and they won't be eaten until at least tomorrow night.
After he helped the snails change the water, he unloaded the peanut vines from the wheelbarrow, and then sat at the door of the hall house, teasing Xiaoqian and Dashan while plucking the peanuts from the peanut vines.
Normally, farmers pull out the peanut vines, take them home, and then pick peanuts while watching TV. It's not so hard and it's more efficient. If you want to pluck peanuts in the field and pick peanuts at the same time, then you are really looking for sin.
Let's not say that the fiery sun will make people very uncomfortable, just the large and small mosquitoes will make you suffer.
It's okay when you pull peanuts, because the human body is moving, mosquitoes are not so rampant, but if you stop picking peanuts, you are really feeding mosquitoes alive.
Therefore, when conditions permit, smart people will generally take the peanut vine home and slowly pick peanuts, so that they can pull more peanut vines during the day, and they can also find something to do when watching TV at night.
After nearly an hour of boiling, the fish soup in the pot has become very strong, and the aroma wafts out of the kitchen, which is particularly tempting.
Chen Yang went to wash his hands and poured out the fish soup.
After pouring out the fish broth, heat the pan again, but this time instead of peanut oil, white lard was added.
Once the lard has melted in the pan, pour in the pre-cut eggplant strips, then sauté until soft and cover with oil and simmer.
After boiling the eggplant, Chen Yang fried another egg.
It's not that he's greedy, it's that without protein supplements, he's really not motivated to work.
If you just take care of Xiaoqian, it doesn't matter if you eat meat or eggs, because the physical consumption is not large, even if you are vegetarian, you can stick to it.
But now he has to take care of Xiao Qian and do farm work at the same time, if there is not enough nutritional supplements, he will always fall down one day.
Once he falls, the most pitiful thing is Xiao Qian.
So, even for the sake of Xiao Qian, he had to make his dinner a little meaty.
When all the dishes are cooked, the iron pot is put on the stove, the fire is extinguished, and dinner begins.
According to doctors and various parenting experts, baby food can only be added after four months of birth, and the addition of complementary food must follow the process of less to more, from thin to thick.
As for the rice or something, you have to wait at least eight or nine months before you can feed it.
But Chen Yang doesn't plan to follow these rules.
He strained a layer of peanut oil from the surface of the fish soup, soaked a little rice in the fish soup, and then crushed the rice with a spoon and fed it to Xiao Qian.
Children are amazing creatures, and as soon as the food comes to their mouths, they can know if it is what they want to eat. If they want to eat, they will open their mouths, and if they don't want to eat, they can't pry their mouths open.
Therefore, if Xiao Qian doesn't like to eat fish soup and rice, Chen Yang can't do anything about him, on the contrary, if Xiao Qian eats with his mouth open, it proves that fish soup and rice are still acceptable to him.
However, because the child's stomach and intestines were not fully developed, Chen Yang didn't dare to feed too much, but only fed two spoonfuls with a small spoon.
He still remembers that his grandparents used to say that when he was a child, he started eating rice just three days after he was born.
Although it is not known whether it is true or not, it is conceivable that in their era when there was no milk powder, mothers may have been weaned due to early dedication to work, so rice became a staple food for children.
Of course, some families with a slightly better economy are more free, and they can also make some rice cereal for their children to eat.
However, most of them still feed rice to their children to save time.
Mothers put rice in their mouths, chew it, and feed it to their children, something almost all rural mothers do.
Chen Yang didn't know what the people in the city were like, but he knew that the children in the past could eat, and the children now can eat too.
A child's growth is a process of exploration and exploration.
As long as it does not hurt the child, let the child voluntarily eat a little bit of rice, it is not an absolute thing.
Of course, everything has to be done on the premise of not harming the child.
Xiao Qian is willing to open his mouth and eat deliciously, which proves that he likes to eat such fish soup and rice, and his body really needs these nutrients.
After dinner, he helped Xiaoqian take a bath and continued to pick peanuts until eight o'clock.
And Xiao Qian, but lay alone in the crib and fell asleep shallowly.
Still like a loyal guard, the mountain lay quietly under the crib, squinting his eyes, and only opened it lazily for a while.
