Chapter 122: The Old Man's Troubles
Bai Ruozhu glanced at the whirring little pedal sleeping in the baby basket next to her, and sighed quietly, with this little guy, where can she go to play, she has to feed every two or three hours.
Fortunately, the noise in the middle of the night is not too bad, probably because the children of the poor are in charge early, or they know that their father is not there, so they are extra well-behaved.
"According to the rules, you will go to your grandfather's house to show them later, and your father will go to deliver red eggs in advance, just to say hello, so as not to have any moths over there in the old house. Lin Ping'er lowered her voice and said to Bai Ruozhu, after all, they are talking about the affairs of the old mansion, they are sitting in the courtyard at this time, and it is not beautiful to hear the loud voice by the neighbors.
Bai Ruozhu nodded, but at the thought of going to the old mansion, her face couldn't help but fall.
"Don't worry, my mother and your eldest brother will accompany you later, don't be afraid. Lin Ping'er noticed her daughter's affection and hurriedly comforted her.
Seeing this, Zhou Deshun's daughter-in-law hurriedly diverted the topic, and said with a smile: "Ruozhu has raised this confinement is really good, and it has recovered all of a sudden. ”
"Apricot blossoms?" Lin Ping'er showed joy, Zhou Xinghua is the daughter of Zhou Deshun's family, she married to another village at the beginning of this year, and she is pregnant at this time, which is really a happy event.
Zhou Deshun's daughter-in-law was full of joy and said: "The news that I just asked someone to bring back two days ago has not yet shown my pregnancy, so I guess I will go to see her after the farm is done." ”
When Bai Ruozhu heard it in her ears, she wondered in her heart, her confinement was not only well-raised, but also paid attention to food supplements, she had to tell the Zhou family's aunt well, Zhou Deshun and his family had helped her family a lot.
"Auntie, I'll tell you how to eat supplements, there are those who are particular about when they are pregnant, and there are special things to eat during confinement, so that the apricot blossoms can be raised well. Bai Ruozhu said with a smile.
Zhou Deshun's daughter-in-law hurriedly thanked her, and then suddenly calmed down, as if she wanted to say something but was a little hesitant, Bai Ruozhu looked at her mother, and sure enough, her mother also noticed it.
"Xinghua mother, do you have anything to say about this?" Lin Ping'er asked.
Zhou Deshun's daughter-in-law mustered up her courage and asked in a low voice: "I heard that Ruozhu knows some medical skills, so do you know what to eat to give birth to a male baby?"
Bai Ruozhu was stunned, it seems that no matter who it is, it is difficult to avoid vulgarity, people in this era are somewhat patriarchal, and she herself is really lucky to meet her father and mother who loves her daughter so much.
Zhou Deshun's daughter-in-law saw Bai Ruozhu in a daze, and hurriedly explained: "I don't have to have an apricot peanut son, or we are all daughters-in-law, and we all know the status of the firstborn boy and girl in the in-law's family, I am afraid that Xinghua will suffer in the future, and the confinement will not be good." ”
It turns out that this is the case, Bai Ruozhu has some understanding of Zhou Deshun's daughter-in-law, she has heard before, some people's daughters-in-law gave birth to a girl, and the mother-in-law is angry and does not let the daughter-in-law do it, and she scolds her to get up and work during the confinement, so can the daughter-in-law not fall ill? But who can say anything? The labor force of the poor family is limited, but they are not happy to sit for a month, Bai Ruozhu is the love of his father and mother to have such a good life.
Bai Ruozhu sighed slightly, and whispered to Zhou Deshun's daughter-in-law: "Auntie, the gender of this pregnant baby will be determined as soon as she is pregnant, don't listen to those crooked theories about what to eat to give birth to a male baby, but in the end it will harm the child." ”
Lin Ping'er heard this and hurriedly said, "Haven't you heard that there is a male doll in the next village who takes medicine? ”
Zhou Deshun's daughter-in-law shuddered, and hurriedly said: "I know, I must not listen to people's nonsense, this life is the fate of boys and girls." ”
Although she said this, her expression was obviously worried about her daughter, in such an era, a woman's fate is often out of her own hands.
Bai Ruozhu felt a little emotional, she wanted to be a woman who could control her own destiny, and she also wanted her family and friends to control her future and live a happy life.
After cleaning up, Bai Yihong had already come back with the basket, but he was a little sullen.
"Dad, what's the matter, can you still be angry when you go to the old house?" Bai Ruozhu saw his father like this and hurriedly asked, now that her father is the father of the head of the case, everyone in the village respects him, why does the old man still want to be angry with him?
Bai Yihong sighed and said: "Your grandfather asked me about the name of the child, and I told the truth that Lord Li came to our house that day and asked if the child was named, and later the master gave the child a name. ”
"And then my grandfather got angry, saying that you are now too big to take him seriously?" Bai Ruozhu pouted and asked, she didn't need to turn her mind to know what the old man said.
Sure enough, Bai Yihong looked at Bai Ruozhu in surprise, "Your grandfather really said that, but what he said is much more powerful than your words." ”
Bai Ruozhu patted her father's shoulder, her father is not easy, what can such a father and mother do?
"Dad, you don't have to take it to heart, is it possible that Master Li wants to give a name, and we don't know how to refuse? My grandfather just thinks about his face and his mood, so he doesn't worry about my second brother's future?
Fang Guizhi next to him nodded and said, "What a good thing it is for the eldest master to name the child, my grandfather will be happy for three days and can't sleep." ”
Zhou Deshun's daughter-in-law also said: "That's right, your old man is really difficult to serve." It's just that the last sentence she said in a low voice, after all, Bai Fu is an elder.
"Then what does the old man mean, don't let Ruozhu take the child over to show them?" Lin Ping'er frowned and asked, if the old man refused to see the child, he would completely tear his face.
Bai Yihong shook his head, "I didn't say that I wouldn't let me go, I just kept saying that our shelf was big and there was no one in our eyes, I was afraid that Ruozhu would have to suffer if she held the child in the past." ”
Bai Ruozhu thought about it, her father's worries were not unreasonable, the old mansion has been angry recently, and the old man still wants to find a place for the boss, and she still remembers that someone proved that she framed San Lang, and the old man will not use this as an excuse, right?
Thinking of this, she didn't want to hold the child even more. Although the rule in the village is that the descendants of the divided family have children, wait for the children to be held to the old man at the full moon, and then the old man gives a red envelope to draw auspiciousness, but in fact, many old people will come to see the child in advance during the confinement, and most of the people who are old like children very much.
But pedaling to the full moon now, grandpa and grandma have never come to see him, although Bai Ruozhu is not rare for them to come to see, but this relationship is too obvious.
