Qiu Chen looked at the things on the plackets, not to mention the yellow-green color, and there were obvious smudged water stains on the surrounding placks, which meant that the child had a bad stool and diarrhea. When I got closer, I saw that the child's excrement contained granules like crushed peanuts...... This is a clear symptom of indigestion.

Children over three months old are generally soft and yellow-brown under normal circumstances. If it's too thin, or if it's green or black, it's not normal.

When Dou saw his wife and Hou Ye coming over, he showed a little panicked, his face was pale, and even a little sallow...... Trembling and about to reply, Qiu Chen moved his nose a few times, and when he turned his eyes, he saw a few diapers thrown in a wooden basin under the warm kang, the top one was obviously dirty, and the top one was a child's poop.

"What's wrong?" Qiu Chen saw that the child was wrapped in a quilt, his two little arms were exposed barely, waving vigorously, his crying little face was wrinkled and red, his face was smudged with tears and snot, he couldn't help but feel distressed, his brows wrinkled involuntarily, and his voice was inevitably a little chilly.

They didn't leave a night girl in the house, until they walked to the hall and walked into the west room, as soon as the door curtain was opened, their eyes lit up, and they saw several candles lit in the room, and Dou was holding Liang'er in the middle of the field, while coaxing softly, while gently patting the child's back. Through a curtain, the two children in the West Room also howled...... The three children burst into tears.

For a while, the child's crying still did not stop, and there was not even a hint of weakening, and the crying was heartbreaking, especially poignant in the silent night. Moreover, he also woke up the other two children, and they also cried one after another, and for a while, Qiu Chen was so anxious that he almost ran in a hurry.

Qiu Chen turned his head to look at Qin Zheng, didn't care about saying anything, nodded, and hurriedly walked to the west house.

As he spoke, Qiu Chen had already put on his shoes and fastened the buttons of his cotton coat as he walked out. There was a candle left on the desk near the window, Qiu Chen stepped forward to hold the candlestick, but a big hand reached out from behind her and held the candlestick for her, "Let's go, I'll go over with you to have a look!" ”

"There's a fire in the house, it's not cold, you don't have to worry about me. I'd better go and see, or I'll always be worried, and you can sleep. I'll check it out and I'll come back. ”

The children are still young, and they will inevitably cry when they wake up, so Qin Zheng said so. But Qiu Chen felt that the child's crying was not quite right, and the cry was sharp, as if something was uncomfortable...... It's a little different from crying with milk.

Qin Zheng was also very vigilant, almost sat up with Qiu Chen, and when he saw that his wife was about to get up, he stretched out his hand and said, "You lie down, I'll go and see, maybe I'm just hungry and want to feed!" ”

As he was sleeping soundly, he heard a faint burst of crying, Qiu Chen was slightly confused for a moment, and then he woke up, sat up, grabbed the cotton clothes on his body and put them on his body to get out of bed.

didn't say much at night, Qiu Chen prepared hot water after washing, waited for Qin Zheng to take a bath, and went to bed early. Ming'er has to get up early.

When the children went to sleep, Qiu Chen called the three children's nurses together and told them carefully, just to let them take good care of the three little ones. turned back, and told Mama Chen and Chengying again, leaving the two of them at home to take care of the house, and also optimistic about the three small ones at the same time.

Dou agreed without hesitation, hugged Liang'er and retreated, entered the Xili room, and coaxed Liang'er to breastfeed and sleep.

Dou didn't delay for long, and hurried back after a while, Qiu Chen noticed that her hands had obviously just been washed, and there was a faint smell of soap when she stretched out, knowing that she had washed her hands after going to the toilet, she was more satisfied, and then handed over Liang'er, who was sleepy and a little impatient, to her. Touching Dou's fingers, he noticed that her fingers were cold, and Qiu Chen also reminded: "Use warm water to wash your hands in the future...... Do not wash your hands with cold water if you have everything in the clean room. ”

Despite this reason, Qiu Chen also hopes that the nurses can concentrate on taking care of their three children...... However, I still feel a little surprised to hear that the nurses are so dedicated that they don't even see their own children...... Think about it again, it is not easy to make a living, since these women have come out to be nurses, they must be poor at home and have no way to make a living. They are nurses here, eating and drinking are the best, and there are monthly silver in clothes, and there are also rewards during the New Year's holidays, and the income is rich, not only for the children, but also for the family, and there is a lot of leftover. What's more, Mrs. said that she took care of the little masters, and when they are old, they will also have a pension silver...... Under all kinds of preferential treatment, they do their best.

Pi Shi also said: "Madame treats us so kindly, we also have to abide by our own duties." ”

Sun held the child and couldn't salute, but hurriedly smiled: "Thank you Madame, we brought the money and things back, and the child's grandmother can't afford the child, so we don't need to look at it...... Well, the children outside are sloppy, and if they are contaminated with unclean things, and the little masters are sick, the slaves and maids will not be able to atone for their sins. ”

Qiu Chen said with a smile: "A few big girls in my house can write, if you write a letter to your family or something, just look for them." …… If you miss your child, you can also bring a letter back and ask your family to bring it to you. ”

Sun and Pi naturally thanked with infinite joy.

It's just that it's convenient to go, and it's normal, and Qiu Chen didn't dig into it. Holding Liang'er and coaxing, he said: "Seeing that the New Year is coming, the three of Chang'er are still young, and I can't let you go home to take a look, I asked people to prepare a New Year's gift for each of you and send it home for you. Send it back early, so that the elderly and children at home can buy some clothes and New Year's goods! ”

While coaxing Chang'er, Sun replied, "I didn't hear Sister Dou say that she was uncomfortable. ”

Qiu Chen didn't care, and only asked, "But what's uncomfortable?" ”

Chang'er's nurse Sun said: "Sister Dou has gone to the clean room, and she will be back in a moment." ”

Chang'er's nurse Sun and Jiu'er's nurse Pi came in response, but Liang'er's nurse Dou did not come in.

The children came back, even the three little ones were hugged over, Qin Zheng asked a few older children, and teased back the three children, the family was happy and had dinner, Qin Zheng took the children to practice as usual, Qiu Chen took three small baths, massages, exercises, played for most of the hour, looked at the three little sleepy, then called the nurses to come in, and took the children to feed and sleep.

Qiu Chen glanced at him, and happened to hear that the children were back, so he left Qin Zheng and went to take care of the children. Qin Zheng touched his nose a little boringly, and couldn't help but laugh a little, he didn't talk much on weekdays, and he didn't joke even more lightly. Just a joke, how can a smart wife not understand that the matter of going to Zhuangzi is already in place. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in the mood to joke.

After taking a sip of tea, Qin Zheng raised his eyes and saw his wife's inquiring gaze again, and said with a rare joke: "But I haven't washed my face?" ”

After washing, removing a coat and changing into a set of cocoon silk robes at home, Qin Zheng sat down on the warm kang near the window in the east room, Qiu Chen took the tea from Yuegui and handed it to her husband.

Her husband was so caring and considerate, Qiu Chen was naturally happy when she heard it, she pursed the corners of her mouth and smiled, but she didn't agree, she only followed her husband a few steps and came to the blue yarn cupboard, and came out of her husband's arms, untied her husband's cloak, and handed it to Chengying who was waiting next to her, took it down and cleaned it up, and she followed her husband into the second room.

Seeing his wife looking at him with a slightly upturned face like this, with a gentle and inquiring look in her eyes, Qin Zheng couldn't help but think of the first time they met, and his wife also looked at him so generously, his heart softened, Qin Zheng reached out and grabbed his wife's shoulder, pulled her into his mink fur, and said with a trace of concern: "It's a cold day, you don't have to come out." You wear thin clothes in the house, and the wind at the door is very cold and hard, and it is easy to catch a cold. ”

Qiu Chen greeted the door of the house and saw Qin Zheng pick the curtain and step into the door, with a cold wind blowing on his face, there was a faint smell of alcohol that was not annoying. raised his eyes to look over, but saw that Qin Zheng's face was normal, and his eyes were very clear, obviously he had drunk but was far from drunk.

The mother and son were busy for a day, and Qin Zheng didn't come back to eat when he went to Yamen to order Mao, so he sent someone to say that he had gone out with King Yong. It wasn't until the time of the lantern that he returned to the house.

The three children were busy with their own work, and Qiu Chen also turned around and took Qingxing and Chengying all the way to the back garden to see the preparations for the party.

Qiu Chen couldn't help but be a little stunned as he watched his daughter's back Xiao Yan disappear into the door. Although he agreed to Aman, he was a little worried after all. Or, it has nothing to do with other worries, as long as the mother is both happy and worried about the growth of her children.

Aman suppressed the joy in his heart, agreed, and hurriedly turned around and went out.

"I'll leave this to you. Remember, tell Lang Zhong and the little guys to wear masks, so as not to spread the disease. Qiu Chen still admonished in the end.

Children have to grow up after all, just like young eagles, if they are always held in their hands and don't give them the opportunity to practice flying, how can they soar into the blue sky and fight in the sky?!

Qiu Chen looked at his daughter, and sighed again in his heart that his daughter had also grown up. I knew in my heart that my daughter was thinking that she was going to see the farmer and exercise her medical skills...... Although he was inevitably a little worried, he also hesitated a little and agreed.

"Mother, my daughter remembers one thing, the old people on Zhuangzi, in the winter, some of them have committed old diseases, or coughing and wheezing or waist and leg pain is not conducive to walking, and some young children feel cold and evil, that Zhuangzi is located in a remote area, and it is inconvenient to seek medical treatment...... If you don't ...... Well, why don't you take two Langzhong and go to Zhuangzi for a free clinic, accumulate merit and virtue, and it is also a piece of kindness from your mother. ”

Aman was already on vacation because he had to help Qiu Chen take care of his family affairs, and these days, he didn't even go to Renhetang for a consultation. talked about hunting, and listened to Qiu Chen tell the brother and sister to wear thicker, bring some replacement thick clothes or something, going to the countryside is not warmer than everywhere in the house, it is really cold, don't be careful to freeze. Aman also thought about it, rolled his eyes, and his heart moved, but he couldn't bear to wait for his brother to take Brother Yun away, and only she and her mother were left in the house, so he smiled and spoke.

Spring, the general bird courtship breeding season, and some herbivores, such as deer, roe deer, yellow sheep, etc., is pregnant to give birth season, since ancient times there is a custom of not hunting in spring, and some will be treated differently, only hunt adult males, and let go of pregnant females and young animals, is also the most simple animal protection guidelines.

Ah Fu couldn't hold back and burst out laughing. Qiu Chen also laughed, touched Aman's hair and said, "I didn't have time to work before the New Year, and when I have time, I will take you to Yanyi Town to hunt." However, in the turn of the year, when the spring opened, you can't shoot and kill, you can only catch them alive. ”

Qiu Chen glanced at her with a smile, Aman looked at her in surprise, smiled, and said, "I know, busy for the New Year, hehe, it's not bad to shoot rabbits and pheasants!" ”

"Ah, shooting?" Aman shouted excitedly, and then said with some pity, "It's okay if you go to Yanyi Town, where is there any prey in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, it's just a few hares, pheasants and pigeons!" ”

"That's good." Qiu Chen smiled and said, "You are ready to prepare, and your father will also go with you, if you have kung fu, you may be taken to hunt." ”

Qiu Chen was relieved that his son was really old and sensible, not only more calm, but also knew how to explain her and not let her worry.

Ah Fu smiled and said, "I'm a little worried." However, the boys' kung fu has already been practiced, and it is the same for the skills and tactics to be led by Brother Chengzi. Mothers don't have to worry about their sons! ”

Qiu Chen saw clearly from the side, and said with a smile: "Fu'er is worried about the ice show, right?" ”

When I told the children, it didn't go to say that they were naturally full of joy, but Ah Fu hesitated a little and agreed.

The second day was the fifteenth day of the lunar month. The fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year is a big day, which is suitable for entering the temple to offer incense, but not suitable for other activities. Moreover, the reason why Qiu Chen postponed it by one day was also to deliberately set aside a day to prepare for the party on the eighteenth, and also to set aside a day for the children to prepare and prepare. Brother Yun is young, and she is still in charge of everything, Afu Amandu is getting older, and she is willing to respect the wishes of the children if she has some of her own wishes.

Secretly exhaling a breath, Qin Zheng hugged his wife wordlessly. Qiu Chen also stretched out his hand, hugged her husband's waist back, squeezed her body into her husband's arms, found a more comfortable position, closed her eyes with peace of mind, and fell asleep.

Seeing that his wife should be angry and happy, Qin Zheng also understood that his wife was used to the casual days in the countryside, and it was inevitable that she would miss it after a long time, and she would prefer to go to Zhuangzi to live for a few days. It's just that he is entangled in general affairs, and how can he be so casual and capricious. In addition, it is inevitable to feel ashamed, and promised his wife to travel south many times, but he has never been able to fulfill it.

After speaking, without waiting for Qin Zheng to speak, Qiu Chen himself denied it first, and sighed: "Still not good...... It's also the New Year, so you can spare two days to work...... On the eighteenth day, Chang Jiayi will come to our house for a treat. ”

Her eyes were particularly shining in the night, and she blinked and said, "I still want to go to Tongzhou...... If that's the case, let's just go to Goose Wings! ”

Hearing Qin Zheng say this, there was really some truth, Qiu Chen also believed it, and the dissatisfaction and resentment that was full of dissatisfaction just now was instantly replaced by joy.

Qin Zheng lowered his head, put his head against his wife's forehead, and said, "Ministry of Works, it was busy before the wax moon, but it was not busy when it came to the wax moon." My side has nothing to do with any of them, there is a beginning and an end, and when I am done, I will have nothing to do for the time being. ”

Qiu Chen was stunned for a moment, raised his head suddenly, and asked, "You don't want to go to the government?" It's the Chinese New Year, aren't you busier than usual? ”

Qin Zheng smiled silently and said, "Oh, I originally wanted to accompany you to live in Zhuangzi for a few days, but I didn't expect that people are not rare!" ”

“…… Not at all! Qiu Chen's expression had already explained a qiē, but he still subconsciously refused to admit it, and his mouth was stiff.

Looking at his somewhat childish wife, Qin Zheng couldn't help laughing, lowered his head and kissed his wife's hair, and asked with a smile, "Do you think I snubbed your mother and son?" Well? ……”

"You didn't have a holiday, and you still have to go to the government...... Otherwise, we can take the kids to hunt in the mountains! Saying this, Qiu Chen couldn't help but miss the days when Qin Zheng 'thought' at home, no need to go to the office, easily, and a lot of time to accompany her and the children, where is like now, going out early and returning late every day, and there is no one in the dark.

Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled, "Why should I be at home by myself?" ”

Qiu Chen nodded: "Well, that's it." I'm going to prepare, take the kids the day after tomorrow, stay in the Zhuangzi for one night, and come back the next day...... It's just that you're at home by yourself. ”

Qin Zheng patted his wife's back and chuckled, "What you think makes sense...... It's better to take the children to the Zhuangzi for a walk, the situation of the villagers is better, and we know what is there, but there is nothing wrong with it. ”

Nodding in response, Qiu Chen was a little ashamed and said, "What you said is reasonable, but I didn't think it was thorough." ”

That's true. Under the pressure of hunger and cold, it is inevitable that those people will get sick, not to mention anything else, cold and typhoid fever are indispensable, these diseases are contagious, and they can be fatal in this era. If you take the children to be infected, it will really outweigh the losses and backfire.

These are just unexpected, as soon as Qin Zheng said it, Qiu Chen also understood.

Looking at his wife's surprise and surprise, Qin Zheng took her shoulders and slowly explained: "If it is freezing today, it is not easy to clean, and coupled with hunger and cold, it is inevitable that those people's homes will be a little pickled, and it is impossible to say that they have been contaminated by the blight...... So, neither you nor the children go. Ordered people to go to those villages to distribute them, and those people could wear clothes and eat. ”

More unexpectedly, Qin Zheng did not support it.

Qiu Chen ordered to go down, and Mama Chen and the others acted quickly, and quickly prepared cotton clothes, food, rice and other things. Qiu Chen pondered that the things at home were almost ready, that is, the Wutong Garden over there of the Liang Guogong Mansion was also cleaned up, so she discussed with Qin Zheng, she wanted to take Afu Aman and Yun Ge'er to Zhuangzi for a trip, in addition to condolences to the old people in Zhuangzi as usual, and also according to the list of sending people to inquire about the good list, go to the surrounding villages, especially the villages around Zhuangzi that have been affected by disasters, and send some winter clothes and food. She wants to let the children see the suffering and hardships of those people, so that they can cherish their current life more, and also cultivate the concept of pity for the poor and the elderly.

Approaching the New Year's Festival, Qin Zheng was still busy going out early and returning late, and he could hardly be seen in the mansion during the day.
