Chapter 9 Drying the Nest

"Don't be busy walking yet, let's calculate how much money we spent on groceries yesterday. Don't tell me ten dollars, I know it's not enough. Since I gave birth to a child, how much have you helped us, and the child can't let you pay for the full moon" I took Aunt Guo's hand and looked at Uncle Guo and asked, "Do you say that Uncle Guo doesn't have this reason?"

Uncle Guo waved his hand and said, "I don't know how much money was spent yesterday, you can count this with your aunt, I'll go outside to smoke a cigarette and save myself from choking on the child in the house." After saying that, Uncle Guo took a cigarette and walked out

"Oh, you kid doesn't have much to do you a favor, and it didn't cost much to buy those bottles of wine, so you don't have to count it. Aunt Guo said.

"That's not good, help is a help, the money can't be counted, my brother still has to settle the account, just tell me how much it spent?" I said.

After pulling for a long time, Aunt Guo was so entangled by me that she couldn't help it. He said, "Okay, you kid! I spent a total of 25 on shopping yesterday, just give me 15 more with the money you take." ”

"How much cornmeal is used to steam steamed buns?" I asked again.

"I used a bag of cornmeal, and I'll talk about this in the fall. Aunt Guo looked at me and said helplessly, she knew that if she didn't say I, I would have to ask hard.

"Hehe~ You let me pay back the food now, I don't have it, I can only remember it first" I said with a smile, and took another 20 yuan and put it in the hands of the passer. Seeing that Aunt Guo was going to object, I hurriedly said: "Aunt Guo, just take it, don't tear it with me, this 20 yuan is really not much, the 15 yuan for going to buy vegetables, isn't there a dollar for the master in charge." Didn't you bring two rabbits for the remaining four dollars today? It was brought back by two sisters-in-law in the mountains. How could I just use it without saying anything? You can keep this money, if you want it or not, go back and give this money to the two sisters-in-law, and let them buy candy for the children. ”

Aunt Guo looked at me and said, "Okay, okay, I'll take it! Take it, it's all up to you, alas, ....... After speaking, he sighed helplessly.

"Oh, Aunt Guo's days are still long, and the days of our mother's life are still to come?" I said.

"It's okay this time, right? I'm going home," Aunt Guo said, glaring at me.

I smiled and said, "It's all right, it's okay this time, it's really hard today, go home and sleep and rest, hehehehe."

Aunt Guo was amused by me and said, "You little daughter-in-law, your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter, okay, I'll go home and sleep." You can also take a good rest, don't be too tired just out of the full moon" Aunt Guo shouted as she walked outside: "Old Guo, don't smoke when you go home, you big smoking gun"

Uncle Guo snuffed out his cigarette and shook his head and said, "Forget it, you women, it's too inky to do things." ”

"Hey, you're so bold that you dare to dislike my ink. Aunt Guo glared at Uncle Guo and said.

"Alas...... Who dares to dislike you," he said and smiled.

"Hee-hee-hee-he It's really rare to still flirt."

Sent them to the door, said goodbye to Aunt Guo, closed the courtyard door, and walked towards the mother-in-law sitting under the tree.

"Mother, I'll take you to visit the door tomorrow, right?" (I'll call my mother-in-law my mother in the future)

"No, no, no, look at the baby," the mother-in-law whispered.

"You don't need to look at it, others don't know, you can't lose it. I whispered.

"No, don't look, steal, rob. When he said "rob", he also had a cold war, as if he was still very scared.

"Mother, if you listen to me, you won't lose it, the more you look at others, the more likely you are to know, if you don't look at him, you won't lose it. I persuaded one after another, I really don't want to throw her home, I remember that in my last life I went back to my mother's house for half a month, and when I came back, I knew that my mother-in-law had been sick for several days, because after I left, my mother-in-law didn't care about day and night, sat under the tree and watched the door and waited for me to come back, and after waiting for several days she got sick, cold, cough, high fever, after she got well, she didn't like to talk, just sat under the tree every day, I won't let this happen in this life, I will go there and take her there.

"Hmmm......"

I saw that my mother-in-law seemed to be a little shaken, so I quickly said: "Mother, I asked Aunt Guo and them to take care of the house, and there are many bad people in their family who can run away." Besides, I'm going to hold the "steamed buns" and "obediently" them, if you don't go, they will cry and no one will coax them!

"Hmm...... Go, coax the child" The mother-in-law finally agreed.

Holding my mother-in-law's rough hands, looking at my mother-in-law nodding, she gave me unrealistic hopes, and I always hope that when I wake up that day, my mother-in-law can be like the old woman of a few people's homes, saying me, scolding me, managing me, teaching me, I don't have a mother, I want to have a mother-in-law like a mother.

At night, in the dim kerosene lamp, I looked at the two sleeping children. The two of them have been forty-one days now, and they don't see that the child of Guo Sange's family is as old as when they were born, but they can see a little flesh on their faces and hands. Listening to their breathing is very heavy, like a cold, I used to understand, I thought that the children were sick, and I didn't dare to sleep all night long, and when I opened my eyes and looked at them, I was afraid that they would be gone when I didn't know. I now know that this is "incomplete development of the heart". It is a symptom that many premature babies have, and there is no way to treat it now, so we can only wait for them to grow up, and wait for it to grow up on its own. Later, the country's medical conditions became better and better, and in my last life, my little grandson was brought in a sterile incubator for three months.

Now the main thing is not to let them catch a cold, because if you have a cough caused by a cold, you may get asthma. In my last life, my son was an asthma and suffered a lifetime of sin, and in this life, I want them to grow up healthy and healthy.

If you want your child not to catch a cold, you can only make the house warm in winter, when the lowest temperature in the Northeast is minus 30 degrees. There was no heating or air conditioning, so it seemed like it would take a lot of effort to warm the house.

Okay, I don't think about it so much, there are still many months until winter. Pack up some of your child's usual things. Tomorrow I will go back to my parents' house to take it with me.

Nothing was said all night, and the next morning was in the morning.

I got up to the morning sun and the sound of chickens, and after breakfast, I cleaned up Lisuo'er, and the eldest brother and second brother also arrived. They came to pick us up and go back to our parents' house to dry the nest, which is our custom in the northeast, after the daughter gave birth to the full moon, the mother's family will come to pick up the daughter and carry the grandson home. The mother-in-law's family, okay, the quilt and mattress of the woman's confinement are taken out to dry, commonly known as "drying the nest".
