Chapter 142: The Banquet
Hearing the child crying, Aunt Zhou led the newly appointed nurse. went to Sister-in-law Zhou's house.
They walked over quickly, and when they entered the house, they saw that Sister-in-law Zhou had woken up, holding one, and patting one was coaxing.
Aunt Zhou hurriedly picked up the child in Sister-in-law Zhou's arms and asked her to lie down and rest, don't get up.
Over there, Sanya also picked up the crying child.
He lifted his hand and lifted his clothes, and put the granary in the mouth of the child who was waiting to be fed.
The little guy immediately stopped crying, and his little mouth sucked vigorously.
Children have this special function, don't look at its small, the small flesh is even translucent, you can see the bones inside.
But if you put the granary in her mouth, she will know how to eat it, and she will suck the soup out of her, and swallow it in her stomach, and in a moment she will be able to eat her hungry belly.
Sanya was holding a child in her arms and feeding, and it didn't take long for her to menstruate, eating here and eating it, and flowing straight out there.
The dripping Sanya pressed it with her hand, and saw that the child in Uncle Zhou's arms was still crying, so she said. "Auntie, you bring the child over, you hold her a little and let her eat this here." ”
In this way, Sanya was holding one and feeding, and Aunt Zhou was also holding one and eating.
Sanya's milk is good, and the two children stopped eating it for less than ten minutes, and it seems that they are full.
I saw that the two grandchildren were full and fell asleep again.
Aunt Zhou also laughed, she was worried that the child would not eat other people's milk.
Unexpectedly, they are not picky.
After feeding the child, Erya said a few words to the awake sister-in-law Zhou.
Because he was too worried about his child and afraid that he would not follow Zhou Shujie, he followed Uncle Zhou back to the house.
Sanya is going to live here in the next few days, at least until Sister-in-law Zhou's milk comes down.
At this time, those people in the village who got the letter had something at home, so they asked their daughters-in-law to use it to give milk to Zhou's sister-in-law.
Uncle Zhou was busy for a long time, and after greeting people and sending them away, there were a bunch of things on the ground of the house.
Zhou Shujie followed her to pack up these things, and then she went home.
In this era, whoever holds a happy event, the most with a gift is only two yuan, and the few even come with five cents.
Not to mention giving birth to a baby and breastfeeding.
Very few people give money, basically they give something.
Like the canned brown sugar harvested during the New Year, I am never willing to eat it at home, and I have to keep it as a gift.
Today, Aunt Zhou received several bottles of canned food, several bags of brown sugar, and a few pieces of cloth.
The cloth they sent was the same as the cloth sent by Zhou Shujie.
The cloth given by Zhou Shujie can be used to make a piece of clothing.
The cloth sent by the villagers, some of them were not even enough for a pair of pants.
It doesn't matter how much they give.
As long as someone sends it, you have to receive this love, and when someone else has a happy event, you also have to give someone a gift.
When you give a gift, you can decide how much you give him according to how much he gives you.
Now the living conditions of each family are not very good, so no one should pick anyone.
Uncle Zhou went to send people off and came back with a meal.
He returned the ox cart he had borrowed, and arrived home just in time for lunch.
When he had finished eating, he went out to look at the wheat.
Now the wheat is almost ready, and he has to go there at least twice a day.
Brother Zhou didn't come back, and if he said that it wasn't far from his father-in-law's house, he could walk back and forth in the morning.
I didn't come back, maybe there was something.
It is said that the mother of the child is worried.
I haven't come back for dozens of miles, and Uncle Zhou has said it twice.
It wasn't until more than three o'clock in the afternoon that Brother Zhou drove the ox cart into the house.
There was also an old lady sitting in the car, and a bunch of things were placed.
Uncle Zhou came out to take a look, and it turned out to be her mother-in-law.
It looks like this is here to serve her girl for confinement.
She quickly won and said with a smile. "Oh! You are here to serve my eldest daughter-in-law, you said that there are such a large number of people in your family, can you rest assured that you will come out? Come into the house with me, and see that my eldest daughter-in-law has given birth to two grandchildren. ”
This week's sister-in-law's maiden mother is a dark and thin little old lady.
She is about the same age as Aunt Zhou, but she looks much older than Aunt Zhou.
When I heard Uncle Zhou say this, the old lady said. "It's okay, there is a father at home." I won't be here for a few days, and I'll have to go back after two days of harvesting. It's not that I can't trust my mother, I just don't know what my girl is like, so I came to take a look. ”
Uncle Zhou, I don't have to say anything to my family, but I am a great outsider.
Now when I hear people say that they don't believe it, they just came to see the girl.
The smile on Uncle Zhou's face was even more vigorous.
Uncle Zhou and the others got out of the car, and they were very enthusiastic to lead them into Sister-in-law Zhou's house.
Sister-in-law Zhou in the house had already heard the voices in the courtyard, and she had already heard it, this was his mother coming, waiting for them to come in.
Uncle Zhou sent people into the house, stayed for a while and then went out, so that the mother and daughter could talk well.
She went out to discuss with Uncle Zhou and them, when is it good to invite guests to serve wine at home!
After some deliberation, it was finally decided that the wine would be served on the third day.
In terms of time, that is, the day after tomorrow.
Today is already a day, and the day after tomorrow will be set up for wine, and tomorrow I will have to let Brother Tuesday and them go to buy meat.
Not to mention that they all discussed what to cook.
Just said that sister-in-law Zhou, her mother-in-law can take care of her, she is very happy, and it is not that her mother-in-law takes care of her badly, but sometimes she is embarrassed.
Like now, she is a little swollen with her breasts, and her chest hurts.
I know that I have to rub it, but I can't use the strength to rub it myself, and I'm embarrassed to let my mother-in-law rub it.
This mother-in-law came just in time, and waited for the evening to use a hot towel to make it work, so that her mother-in-law could help her rub it.
Uncle Zhou, they finished discussing.
She asked Uncle Zhou to catch an old hen and kill it for her daughter-in-law to stew chicken soup to drink.
The chicken soup was stewed early, and the stew time was long, and the soup was delicious and nutritious.
It's easy to say that the dinner at night is good, except for Le Zhou's sister-in-law's alone, they ate at one table.
It's time to make good arrangements when you go to bed.
In the end, it was my mother-in-law who accompanied Sister-in-law Zhou to sleep in her house.
Aunt Zhou and Sanya led her children to sleep in their house.
Uncle Zhou and Brother Zhou, two men, both went to Brother Zhou's house.
Hearing the child crying at night, Uncle Zhou hurriedly lit the lamp and led Sanya over to feed the child.
After feeding, lead Sanya back.
Fortunately, the children of the Sanya family are trouble-free, they never cry at night, and they sleep until dawn.
They got up several times that night, but they didn't wake him.
The next morning, it was just dawn.
Brother Zhou got up.
He wanted to go up to the river in front of him to lay a net and get two crucian carp for his daughter-in-law to make soup to drink.
Now that his daughter-in-law's milk has not come down, he is also worried that the child will not have enough to eat and starve in the future.
Later, he will have to go to the county seat to buy meat, so he can only take advantage of the morning to go to this net.
Brother Zhou came back for breakfast after laying the fishing nets.
After eating and Tuesday the two brothers individually. drove the ox cart to the county seat and bought back twenty catties of meat and pork.
Uncle Zhou, cut the meat into small pieces, dipped it in salty salt piece by piece, and put it in a cool place.
There is no well in their yard.
The draft water is picked up from the well platform in the village.
can't be like Zhou Shujie's family, leftover meat can be kept fresh in the well, so it can only be smeared with salt and placed in a cool place.
Early in the morning of the third day.
Aunt Zhou began to get up and get busy.
She now cooks four meals a day for her daughter-in-law and three meals for her family.
She didn't feel tired of cooking so many meals.
As soon as he saw his little grandson, he felt happy.
I got up early this morning, finished my family's meal, and began to greet those old sisters and help me cook the meals for the banquet for a while.
There are only a few dishes for the farmer's treat, and in addition to the fresh vegetables from the garden, there are only some dried vegetables left on the table.
Uncle Zhou's mother's house still has some kelp dishes, and the kelp vegetables left over from Brother Zhou's marriage last year.
This was something she had left behind, and she thought that it would be good to have a dish or something when there were guests.
Otherwise, they don't have enough to eat.
was busy cooking here, and Uncle Zhou and Old Man Zhou went out to invite people.
Uncle Zhou invited his peers.
Mr. Zhou also invited old people from his own generation.
When everyone is here, the feast begins.
There were four tables in the courtyard, and they all sat down.
I ate and drank until two o'clock in the afternoon.
The feast was finished, and at three o'clock they were all cleaned up.
The table that should be returned has been returned, and the dishes and chopsticks that should have been sent have been delivered.
The courtyard was finally quiet.
