Chapter 0272: Mochizukiko

Liu Canlu's daughter-in-law gave birth to a son, the mother and son were safe, and Wang Xiangzhong was also very happy when he went home and learned the news. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

This is the third child born in Taohualing Village this year, and since the strict family planning in 93 and 94, the fertility level in Taohualing Village has plummeted. Wang Xiangzhong is worried that the primary school he spent money to build will not be needed in the future.

Because it is a child born on the twenty-second day of the lunar month, the next step is to be busy looking at the moon in the first year.

The Liu family has few brothers in Taohualing Village, and when there are happy events, they are all supported by a well-connected party in the village.

This confinement is a custom in Luzhong City.

When a child is born, the child's father will go to the child's grandmother's house to report the good news. Then when the good news is announced, the grandmother's family will also attend and serve.

After the good news is over, the next family that gave birth to the child will discuss a date and notify relatives and friends to come to see the confinement.

On the day of the moon, generally speaking, the elders of the child have to come to see the newly-born junior, and put some money under the pillow of the junior, so as to have a happy celebration.

At the same time, the child's grandmother's family needs to prepare a lot of things, such as eggs, pork legs, noodles, rice, etc., which can be loaded with several baskets.

A few baskets are slowly taken away, from the child's grandmother's house to the child's birth, and then the child's family has to prepare hard-boiled eggs, candy or something, pressed into the child's grandmother's basket, and let the child's grandmother's family take it back together.

There are a lot of jobs to do, so having a baby is actually very troublesome.

The Mochizuki here in Luzhong is a bit like drinking full moon wine in other places, but Mochizuki is not held before the full moon, so there is still a difference.

Moreover, the confinement child cannot be expected to be two years, so the child born on the twenty-second day of the lunar month has to consider doing this in the first year.

Liu Canlu got a big fat boy, seven pounds and eight taels, very happy.

The next day, early in the morning, Liu Canlu ran to Wang Xiangzhong's house and happily brought candy to Wang's family.

Liu Canlu told Wang Xiangzhong that the day of looking at the moon was set for the 28th day of the lunar month. Generally speaking, the days of the moon are mostly set on the "third", "sixth", "ninth", and "twelfth" days from the birth of the child. All take an auspicious number, the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, which happens to be the sixth day.

After sending Liu Canlu away, Wu Xiufen muttered, saying that it was better for men to occupy six than to occupy nine.

However, Wang Xiangzhong glared at her and said that if it was Zhanjiu, it would be the first day of the Lunar New Year. Where is the reason to look at the moon on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so Liu Canlu can only look at the moon on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month.

Liu Canlu's purpose in coming to Wang's house was to report the good news, and the other was to ask Wu Xiufen to help that day.

The relationship between Wu Xiufen and Meng Qing has always been very good, Liu Canlu offered to let her help, and she naturally agreed. At the same time, Liu Canlu also told Wang Zheng and Wang Xiangzhong to go to his house for a drink that day.

Wang Xiangzhong asked Liu Canlu if the banquet at home was open, and if he wanted to use the private room in the company's canteen.

Liu Canlu said that his family does not have many relatives, so there is only one table for men and two tables for women.

In the next two days, Wang Zheng's car became Liu Canlu's special car.

Because Meng Qing gave birth two weeks in advance, many things that should have been prepared were not prepared.

On the afternoon of the second day of Meng Qing's birth, Wang Zheng was dragged by Liu Canlu and drove to Beishidian Town, Southern Tainan City to buy eggs, sugar and wine.

The eggs were bought, and then that night, Wu Xiufen went over to cook several pots of eggs with Liu Cantang's daughter-in-law.

Now most of the people in Taohualing Village work in the Wang family's company, and Liu Canlu is the captain of the Wang family's construction team, so naturally there are many followers to his house.

When Wang Ning was born three and a half years ago, there were less than a dozen households in Taohualing Village who gave the Wang family followers, but when Meng Qing gave birth, 68 households in Taohualing Village, except for Sun Youqian and Ma Huanhua, who ran away from the black households, the other 66 households all came to the Liu family to follow the members.

Three or four years ago, it was generally five dollars to drink with the amount of money. But now, with the increase of everyone's income, the minimum amount of money that comes to the Liu family is ten yuan, and the one who has a good relationship is fifty yuan.

In his previous life, Wang Zheng remembered that Meng Qing only gave birth to a daughter and never gave birth again. I didn't expect that now I have both children and daughters, and Wang Zheng is also very happy.

For a few days, Wu Xiufen and Wang Zheng were helping out at Liu's house, and in a blink of an eye, it was the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and the day of the official confinement was coming.

Early in the morning of the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Wang Zheng, Wu Huahua, Liu Tao, Yang Ming, Cui Wei and Cui Qiang came to Liu Canlu's house to join in the fun.

The Liu family was lit up and down, looking beaming.

At noon, the banquet began, and Wang Xiangzhong also came to Liu's house.

Wang Xiangzhong was able to come to Liu's house, which can be regarded as giving Liu Canlu enough pavement, which made Liu Canlu very happy.

The relatives of the Liu family are also from the neighboring villages, so of course they know Wang Xiangzhong's identity and status. When drinking, the relatives of the Liu family wanted Wang Xiangzhong to sit on the head.

Of course, Wang Xiangzhong knew that he couldn't sit on the top, and finally let Liu Canlu's brother-in-law, that is, the uncle of the newborn child, sit on the top, and he sat in the second-in-command position.

Generally speaking, according to rural customs, most of the guests who come are children and grandmothers. And the uncle is the biggest guest.

The custom here in Luzhong, if anyone's child makes a big mistake and the parents can't control it, they will move out of the uncle to take care of it. And when the nephew saw his uncle, no matter when, he had to be neat and honest.

After the banquet, I wanted to send Liu Canlu's brother-in-law's family home.

This time, twelve people came to Liu Canlu's wife's maiden family, namely Meng Qing's two brothers and two sisters-in-law, a sister and a sister-in-law, brother-in-law and brother-in-law, and a nephew, a niece and two nephews.

Liu Canlu had already discussed with Wang Zheng that the responsibility of sending his brother-in-law home would be handed over to Wang Zheng.

Then, at about four o'clock in the afternoon, when the banquet ended, Liu Canlu's relatives drank tea for a while, said goodbye to Meng Qing, and offered to leave.

At this time, Liu Canlu and Liu Cantang helped Meng Qing's two brothers and sisters-in-law lift their baskets into the trunk of Wang's Audi 100 under the archway at the head of the village, and then let Meng Qing's two brothers and two sisters-in-law, as well as a niece and a nephew, sit in Wang Zheng's car.

Seven people were crammed into the car at once, and it seemed a little crowded, but Liu Canlu's relatives, who had taken this kind of high-end car for the first time, were very excited.

Wang Zheng carefully sent Liu Canlu's relatives back to his home along the way, and by the time he returned home by himself, it was already dark.
