Chapter 229: Full Moon
Tang Bao tilted his head and looked fixedly at the two small balls on the bed, his big eyes blinking, and he didn't blink his eyes.
Wen Xi came in, looked at him like this, and felt funny, "Tang Bao, what are you doing?" Come here, don't disturb your mother's rest. ”
Tang Bao pouted, walked over reluctantly, pulled the corner of Wen Xi's clothes and asked, "Sister Wen Xi, why are your younger brothers and sisters so ugly?" ”
Wen Xi was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, nodded Tang Bao's head, and said: "You kid, your younger brothers and sisters have just been born, so naturally they are a little different, just wait for them to grow up." ”
Tang Bao was a little skeptical, "Really? So was I that ugly when I was a kid? ”
Wen Xi blinked narrowly and said, "Yes, when you were a child, you were uglier than them!" ”
When Tang Bao heard this, he seemed to be very shocked, and stood in place in a daze, his eyes widened, and he looked dumbfounded, which made Wen Xi almost burst into laughter.
After wiping Xia Mei's face, and the palms and feet of her hands and feet, to keep them clean and warm, Wen Xi took Tang Bao and walked out softly.
Tang Bao asked again: "Sister Wenxi, when will my mother wake up?" ”
Wen Xi was also a little worried when he heard this, but he replied on his face: "It's almost there, I'll wake up today." ”
The doctor came to see it, and said that this time Sister Xia Mei's loss was too strict, and she couldn't have any more children in a few years, and then prescribed some medicine, saying that if she rested enough, she would naturally wake up.
Wen Xi and Yun Ni naturally could only wait, Liu Quan was responsible for running errands and grabbing medicine, dealing with other things, and taking care of Xia Mei and the child, all of which were handed over to these two little girls.
Xia Mei's reputation now is in full swing in Qingshan Town.
After all, people are people who are personally rewarded by the emperor, and Wen Xi and the prefect personally summoned them, how many people have such honors? Mr. Xiucai is afraid that he does not have such an honor!
Nowadays, no one says that it is not good for other people's daughters to show their heads, look at others, a few daughters' families can still do things that many men can't do, and there are even many daughters who want to learn from them, want to run out to do business every day, and fantasize about those romantic and legendary stories in the book happening to them.
Xia Mei didn't know anything about this, she had just woken up at the moment, she was still very weak, she could only be awake for three or four hours a day, and the rest of the time she was sleeping, and she was basically synchronized with the two babies.
Wen Xi and Yunni set up a small bunk in the room, anyway, there was a thick layer of skin on the ground, which was not hard at all, and the two of them took turns to keep vigil for Xia Mei, taking care of her getting up at night and breastfeeding the child.
Xia Mei was very guilty, and simply thought about whether to buy a maid, otherwise she would feel very distressed when she was tired of these two half-grown girls. As a result, as soon as these words came out, Wen Xi vetoed them, and the little girl vowed to take care of her master for the rest of her life. I also have to take care of two little nephews, little nieces.
Xia Mei was very moved in her heart, she saved this pair of brothers and sisters with a good thought that day, as well as Yunni, and now she has received countless benefits, which shows that good people will be rewarded after all.
After feeding the child, Xia Mei's spirit was a little weak, and she also knew that this time her body was losing a lot, otherwise she wouldn't be so sleepy and tired. So on weekdays, the chicken soup and supplements sent by Su and Chen, she also finished eating them with a smile, and the friendship has reached this point, and the favor is different, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and they are now relatives.
Of course, relatives should support each other.
During the confinement, Xia Mei has always maintained a happy mood, because Yunni has already shown her Wen Hao's letter, which only said that they are safe and should have been able to come back, but there are still some procedures to go in the army, and it is estimated that it will take about a month to come back.
After receiving this news, Xia Mei was in a good mood, and even drank two more bowls of chicken soup, what she didn't like to eat on weekdays, at this time, she also worked hard to eat it for balanced nutrition. Raise your body with peace of mind, take the child, and wait for your husband to come back.
When confinement, the fish soup is a big supplement, the thick white and white fish soup tastes delicious, after removing the fishy smell, only the freshness of natural fish, Xia Mei loves to eat, Liu Quan went to the river all day long, and got a few fish back every two days, Wen Xi boiled the soup according to the method taught by Xia Mei, braised it, Xia Mei can eat two bowls of rice, two bowls of soup.
This amount of food has never been eaten before, even when I was pregnant with a child, I didn't eat so much, in fact, when I was pregnant with a child, my heart was not as relaxed as I thought, but I tried hard to suppress myself, deceived myself not to care, not to worry.
So the appetite has not been very good, the nutrition of the two children has not kept up, although the child is healthy, but not fat, the son is only six pounds and seven taels, and the daughter is only five pounds and five taels, very thin.
And now, after getting Wen Hao's news, I feel relieved of that stone, and naturally I have a good appetite and eat anything. After eating a lot of milk and enough water, the two children slowly made up for it, and they grew up a circle.
Now, just out of confinement, the two children are already white and fat, the elder brother is strong, tiger-headed, and clever, and the younger sister is delicate, not crying or making trouble, well-behaved and distressing.
"Sister Xia Mei, these two children, you give them a milk name, we always call it brother and sister, it's not appropriate!"
Teasing the two children in front of the window, Yunni said to Xia Meijian, Wen Xi on the side sat on the ground making small shoes for the children, and also raised his head and smiled when he heard the words: "Yes, Master, you hurry up and give it a name, it sounds cute." ”
When Xia Mei heard this, she also smiled and nodded, "Well, you're right, it's time to choose a name," said and pondered for a while, thinking left and right and feeling dissatisfied, just saw Tang Bao, who had been looking at the little doll in a daze, and smiled: "That's it, Tang Bao, you are the elder brother, you come and name the younger brother and sister!" ”
Tang Bao was stunned for a moment, raised his head to look at his mother, and when he saw the encouraging and gentle gaze in his mother's eyes, he was a little happy in his heart, and tilted his head and said, "Mother, I have already chosen a good name for my younger brothers and sisters!" ”
Wen Xi was amused when he heard it, "Hey, you kid is clever enough, tell me, what name did you choose?" If not, I'm going to spank you! ”
Tang Bao wrinkled his nose, made a grimace at Wenxi, and smiled sweetly at Xia Mei: "Lady, I think my younger brother should be called steamed buns, and my sister should be called steamed buns!" ”
The sound of the child fell into the room and was silent for a moment, and then there was a burst of laughter, which could be heard from afar.
Wen Xi wiped the corners of his eyes and laughed with tears, and when he saw Tang Bao's aggrieved appearance, he felt even more cute, and pulled him into his arms and comforted: "Our Tang Bao is really cute!" That's how the names are taken...... Larger than life! Come, sister rewards you and takes you to candy! ”
Xia Mei also held back a smile and said: "Well, I also think Tang Bao's name is good, and your younger brothers and sisters should also like it, so let's call it steamed buns and steamed buns!" It's a good listener. ”
Yun Ni also smiled and answered: "Yes, let's choose a name, it may not be as good as Tang Bao's children, they all say that cheap names are easy to feed, this name is good, and the children will definitely grow white and fat in the future!" ”
The three of them were comforted, Tang Bao finally did not become angry, and happily accepted the fact that his younger brothers and sisters became steamed buns and steamed buns, and he was very proud of the names of his younger brothers and sisters, which he came to take.
When you go out and talk to those little playmates, everyone will definitely be envious!
Thinking like this, Tang Bao was even more happy, and ran out to play after eating candy.
Xia Mei couldn't smile bitterly, this child was inevitably a little awkward in her heart, I don't know how those people outside arranged it, the child is still young, and she has to teach it well!
The full moon wine is managed by the Su family and the Chen family, Xia Mei has now regarded the two of them as her own sisters, and she gave a set of big gifts when she was out of the confinement, all of which are dressing boxes of the same specification, and the things in them are readily available, this thing was sent by Yongcheng, saying that it was a congratulatory gift, and Xia Mei also took this congratulatory gift to borrow flowers to offer Buddha.
Su and Chen did not shirk it, they both understood that this was Xia Mei's deliberate gift of recognizing relatives, and the rules were rules and could not be broken. If something happens to Xia Mei in the future, these two families can't be left alone, after all, they are all a family, and it is only right to take care of each other.
The full moon wine was very grand, everyone who should have come came, even Chen Langsheng personally came to send a congratulatory gift, wrapped a big red envelope for the two children before leaving in a hurry, Xia Mei knew that the war had just ended, he must have been busy going back to open the store, so he didn't stay longer, just thanked him, and said that of course he would return Yunyun in the future.
The people in the village more or less gave more gift money, after all, Xia Mei stood up during the war and selflessly took the potatoes she planted to them for free, if not, it is estimated that many people would starve to death, the imperial court taxes were too strict, and the people had almost no surplus food at home.
Fortunately, with potatoes, we were able to get through this.
Although it has been potatoes every day for the past few months, the people who eat them have yellow faces and thin muscles, but they are still alive. Dayu is still there, no family is broken, no people are displaced, no starvation is everywhere, and there are no riots and uprisings.
One qiē, all of them are waiting to be revived. This time, everyone is really grateful for this hope.
In the end, when Li Sheng came to give Xia Mei gift money, he solemnly bowed to Xia Mei, and Xia Mei hurriedly helped him up, "What is this doing!" Get up quickly, don't torture me! ”
Li Sheng is a strong man, not good at words, so he can only say with a stern face: "Sister-in-law, my brother is not here, what will happen to you in the future, call me, your business is my business, let me go to you as a cow and a horse, I have no complaints!" ”
Xia Mei really couldn't cry or laugh, and said helplessly: "Village chief, what are you doing, others don't know what they think is wrong with the two of us, will you still be able to speak!" Say anything! ”
Li Sheng touched his head a little embarrassed, "I'm just not very good at talking...... In short, I thank you for the hundreds of people in Dashan Village! If it weren't for you, half of the people in our village would have starved to death! ”
Xia Mei smiled with relief: "This is all what I should do, you can't hide it, and you don't have to take it to heart." ”
Li Sheng just recognized Xia Mei's great kindness, didn't say much, nodded and went out, and said again before leaving: "Sister-in-law, my father asked me to sue you in a dream, you have done well enough, it is enough." ”
When Xia Mei heard this, she was stunned for a moment when she looked at his back as she walked out, and then chuckled. Just out of the corner of his eye, a flash of water.
Fortunately, with potatoes, we were able to get through this.
