Chapter 139: Premature Birth
An Jiahe went to the hunting ground to participate in the autumn hunting, and brought back a lot of animal skins, so the old lady of the An family sent someone to send some to the old lady, and kept them for the winter to make big coats and gloves.
The fur took up space, and the fur was packed in a large box, which contained a whole sheet of fox skins, as well as suede and roe deer skins.
"The things that the master has explained have been completed, and we have to go back to resume our lives, so we won't bother much." The housekeeper stood up with a smile and said.
The old lady nodded when she heard this, and glanced at Mama Lu, who took out a purse and handed it to the girl next to her. The girl chased out and said with a smile: "This is our old lady's heart, you aunts didn't even make a hot stool this time, keep it to buy tea and eat." ”
The purse is not light, and the old lady is naturally more generous when people send over so many good furs that are difficult to buy with money. Moreover, the family of An is already higher than that of the Jin family, and if his granddaughter wants to be sent to someone else to be a daughter-in-law, it is inevitable that she will be despised if she is too shabby. Although the family is not as good as the An family, if it is about financial resources, the Jin family dares to compare with the An family.
The housekeeper had long expected that this trip was fat, so she accepted it with a little politeness. Along the way, he talked to the girl with a smile, and said to the second door: "The sixth day of the next month is our old lady's birthday, and the old lady means that it is not a big deal, and the daughters, nieces and nieces will get together for a meal." But after all, it's the old lady's Qianqiu, and the wife has to prepare well, otherwise I won't be in a hurry to go back. ”
This is obviously taking advantage of people's short-handed hands and deliberately revealing some news to the Jin Mansion. That girl is also a clever person, and she naturally wants to return to the old lady when she goes back.
"The old lady of the in-laws is too old, even if it is not a big deal, we must go." When the old lady heard this, she asked the eldest lady to prepare a congratulatory gift, and said to Yuyi, "The mansion is the mansion, and you, the prospective granddaughter-in-law, should also show some expression." Things don't care about being valuable, the key is mind. However, if you give gifts alone, it is not very nice to make people pay attention to it. You sisters combined, it's best to give something together. ”
Yuyi hurriedly stood up and agreed, and replied with a smile: "The old lady is very right, I will take my sisters to discuss." It just so happened that the sixth sister hadn't had time to get together when she came back from going out, and she had something to say. ”
The old lady smiled with satisfaction when she heard this, and she was most willing to see her children and grandchildren happy. Before she took Youyi with her side to raise her, she secretly observed Yuyi for a period of time, and saw that this eldest granddaughter was still as usual, filial to herself, and caring for her sister, so she couldn't help nodding secretly in her heart. The daughter-in-law must have the bearing of the daughter-in-law, their sisters are all girls of the Jin family, and they will help each other in the future, and they will be both prosperous and lossy!
Now that Yuyi has set up her in-laws, she has to pay more and more attention to her behavior. If there is really any immoral behavior that reaches the ears of the An family, I am afraid that this marriage will cause twists and turns. A girl who has been divorced will definitely not have a good home in the future. An family is a scholarly family, and the most important thing is etiquette and virtue. Even if you don't get divorced, you won't be respected if you marry into an family in the future.
The old lady said, "This whole fox skin is for Qiaojun, she has just come from the south, and she will definitely not be able to adapt to the winter in the capital." Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, I made her a big one to protect her from the cold. Nowadays, although there are people selling whole furs outside, I have heard that many of them are home-raised foxes and roe deer. The fur is not as bright as the wild one, and the warmth is also poor. The hair is so dense that it is hard to find a length! ”
Qiaojun is Jin Haowen's daughter-in-law, and now she is pregnant, and her belly has been bulging for more than seven months. It's cold now, and she's afraid of the cold, so she wears like a cotton bale, and her belly is getting bigger and bigger.
The Yuyi sisters went to the room of the young yi, and the sisters talked nonsense.
Yun Yi sat next to Yuyi, and asked about the hunting ground vigorously. She blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "Good sister, just talk about it, except for Sister Yuyi, we are all unlucky and uninformed little girls." I can't go to a place like that in my life, I can only listen to you and tell me about my long knowledge. ”
"Why did you get rid of me?" Yuyi asked.
Yun Yi replied with a smile: "Sister Yuyi is quite a clever person, why is she suddenly confused?" You are the future young grandmother of the An family, can you still have a chance to go to the hunting ground with you? ”
"Are you still finished, girl? Entertain me all day long......"
"I was wrong." Before Yuyi finished speaking, Yunyi hurriedly returned. Her face was full of remorse, and she suddenly smiled and said, "Yuyi is not smart and confused for a while, but she is thinking about things in her heart." The nurse's mother-in-law celebrates her birthday, how to send this congratulatory gift to her old man's heart? Hehehehehe. ”
"You girl, it's getting more and more excessive. I'm going to tear your mouth off today, and no one is allowed to stop you! Yuyi blushed and stamped her feet over. Yun Yi hurriedly dodged behind the sisters, and the room rang out with cheerful laughter.
The old lady heard it in the upper room, and said to the eldest lady and the others with a smile: "Their sisters are just when they love to play and laugh, don't hold them back, it's better to be casual in your mother's house if you get married in a year or two." ”
"That's exactly what I said." The second lady then replied, "The girls are here, and I am not embarrassed to reply." Sister Xuan was pregnant, and someone sent a letter in the morning. ”
When the old lady heard that Xuanyi was pregnant, she couldn't close her mouth happily. She called Mama Lu and took out a few ginseng sticks from the box.
"Pick a long-term one, what does it matter if my old woman eats it or not? Sister Xuan's baby is not easy to come by, you must pay attention to nourishment, and give birth to a big fat boy at once. After speaking, he told the second wife to send a safe and experienced person over, Sister Xuan is young and the first child, and she doesn't understand many things. Although there are in-laws and parents, it is still more practical for people to go to their parents' homes.
The second wife agreed, and replied with a smile: "Old lady, please rest assured, the person who sent the letter said that Sister Xuan's mother-in-law danced happily and didn't sleep well for a few nights." Every day, I was in the soup and water, and even went to the ground to tell Sister Xuan to be careful, not to mention others. The mother of the family said that both boys and girls are the descendants of their family. ”
"My mother-in-law is a person who understands. This woman was born as soon as she was happy, and she was born one after another in the future, and she was afraid that she would not have a serious grandson? The old lady nodded.
The second wife's eyes flashed, and then she nodded with a smile, "The old lady is very right, but if this first child is a boy, he will have the bottom in his heart." After speaking, he glanced at Yan who was sitting next to him.
Yan lowered his head slightly, and he couldn't see any expression, but the old lady smiled at her, "Child, you weren't jealous when I gave you sister-in-law ginseng, right?" She hasn't moved for more than three years when she entered the door, and her in-laws are unhappy if they don't say anything. Your sister-in-law is bitter in her heart, and this time she finally got pregnant, so don't worry about it. ”
"The old lady killed me." Hearing this, Yan hurriedly got up and knelt under the old lady's knees, "Since I entered the Jin family, my in-laws have treated me like my own parents, and the old lady has been even more protective and painful. Although I don't spend much time with my sister-in-law, I regard her as my own sister from the bottom of my heart.
As a woman, I understand her suffering, and I can't wait to share it for her. Now that God has mercy on Lin'er, I can't say how happy I can still be jealous? I thought about making some children's clothes with my own hands, and I thought about the saying that I couldn't use needlework for less than three months, so I couldn't help it. ”
Hearing this, the second wife's eyes were a little more smiling. The old lady hurriedly took her hand and said, "I know you are a good boy, hurry up, the ground is cold." Mama Lu hurriedly helped.
Yan's belly is bulging, with an obvious tip in the front. Judging by the experience of the elderly, this is the nostalgia of a girl. The second wife was uncomfortable because of this incident, although she never revealed it in her words on weekdays, but Yan and her mother-in-law could naturally feel it when they got along day and night.
The words of the second wife clearly reflected herself, and she understood it very well in her heart. It's just that she doesn't understand that she got pregnant within a few months of getting married, and it is clear that she is good at giving birth. According to the old lady's words, she gave birth to several children one after another, and she didn't worry about having no sons. Is the mother-in-law angry that the firstborn child is not her son, or is she not satisfied with her daughter-in-law at all?
"Now that you have a big belly, it's not convenient to do anything, so you can rest in the house when you have nothing to do. Your mother-in-law has her own attendants, so you don't have to set rules on the side. The old lady asked Yan to go down and rest.
When the second wife heard this, she smiled and said, "Who said it wasn't, but this kid didn't listen." It's a shame that the old lady knows who I am, otherwise she would have scolded me for being a bad mother-in-law and a new daughter-in-law. ”
"It's strange and panicked in the room alone, it's better to go and sit with my wife. Anyway, I don't have to do anything, and I still eat and drink according to my preferences. People who don't know see me going to my wife's house sooner or later, and think how filial I am. As everyone knows, I'm going to enjoy happiness! Yan hurriedly replied with a smile.
"This mouth is learning more and more dexterously." The smile on the old lady's face deepened, "In a few years, you will become more and more naughty in front of us, and we will be bored and panicked." He laughed.
"Who got naughty and made the old lady angry?" Howen hit the outside and came in.
When the old lady saw her eldest grandson coming, she hurriedly beckoned him to sit beside her. While ordering the girl to have some refreshments, he said with a smile: "We are talking about your daughter-in-law." ”
"She is pregnant, and the old lady should not worry about her for the sake of the child in her womb. If there is anything wrong with my grandson, I will go back and teach her a lesson. ”
"Look, we haven't done anything yet, he blatantly protects his daughter-in-law!" The old lady scolded Haowen with a smile, "When I was confused and taught your mother, I didn't see you in such a hurry." You kid remembered for me, I feel sorry for my daughter-in-law, it's a good thing that two people love each other, but I can't forget your mother's nurturing grace. Marrying a daughter-in-law and forgetting her mother is not what children like us should do! ”
"The grandson must not only forget his mother, but also the old lady. The old lady loves her grandson very much, and teaches her grandson a lot of things, and she is both a grandmother and a teacher in her grandson's heart. "Howen grew up under the nose of the old lady, and many of the tricks of doing business were taught to him by the old lady.
Hearing this, the old lady smiled with folds on her face, turned her head to everyone and said, "Their little couple is changing the way to make us happy, it's really embarrassing for them." I'm not old and confused, I know their filial piety! ”
"They should be filial, and this is a blessing that the old lady should enjoy." And they all followed.
His son and daughter-in-law were praised in front of the old lady, and the second wife's face was more radiant. She looked at her daughter-in-law again, and her eyes softened a lot.
"Come on, it's rare for you to come back early, take your daughter-in-law back to the room." The old lady took the young couple back. The two men got up and said goodbye and walked out of the room side by side.
Out of the East Cross Courtyard, Howen's face sank, and he walked forward without saying a word behind his back. Yan followed closely behind, looked at his face and didn't dare to speak.
went back to their room, closed the door and drove the girl and mother-in-law down. Yan personally served Haowen to clean his hands, and brought tea up, and then asked in a slow voice: "It's early for you to come back today, and I'll let them make the osmanthus fish you like to eat." ”
"Your cousin has come to the capital with him, and there is not a day that does not cause trouble." Howen said angrily.
Yan guessed something, and replied with a smile: "I didn't agree with him coming with me at the beginning, but my cousin went over me and went directly to my master." My cousin can't do anything, but he has a clever mouth that can bring the dead alive. In addition, the master was soft-hearted and kind, and he wanted to save face for me, so he agreed to him.
I know that my lord is embarrassed, and now it is not like in the capital, everything is difficult. Although I, as a woman, don't know how good it is, but a person like Ye who is exquisite in all sides goes out early and returns late to lack skills, so I know how difficult it should be. Besides, the master and the third uncle are old, and the uncle doesn't care much about business, and half of the responsibility of the whole family is on the master, even the iron man can't resist it. I should take care of my body, and I will have to carry the whole family in the future. I went to my cousin and told him to go back to the south and stay honest, it's a big deal to be a villain! ”
After saying this, Howen's face looked much better. He took a sip of tea and said, "Forget it, when I go back, he yells nonsense, and others think that I can't tolerate my relatives." Fortunately, your cousin is not too confused and knows who is close to him. Now that I am short of trustworthy people around me, let's keep it for now. ”
Yan Shi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then said some light topics. There was a girl outside who replied, saying that someone was looking for the eldest young master, and Howen got up and left.
Yan asked his cousin to come over, and in the middle of the night, a Humpty Dumpty man walked in.
"What is my sister calling me for? There's a lot of stuff waiting for me in the shop outside? I was busy this day, and I couldn't do it without showing up, and the grandchildren all wanted to take advantage of the loopholes to climb up. They squeezed me in a different way, and blew the wind in my brother-in-law's ear behind my back. It just so happens that you call me over today, and when your brother-in-law comes back in the evening, you tell him to give me some real power, so as not to always make people run out! ”
"Bang!" Yan put the teacup heavily on the table, which scared Cheng Jiadart.
"Scare me, being angry is not good for the fetus, don't scare my little nephew." Seeing that Yan was angry, his tone softened, and he hurriedly smiled.
His biological mother died of postpartum wind when she gave birth to him, and his father immediately married his stepmother. Yan's mother felt sorry for her nephew and urinated by her side. In addition, the Yan family has no brothers, and this nephew is closer than half a son. Therefore, Cheng Jiadart was pampered by Yan's mother, and his four bodies were not diligent and his grains were not distinguished, so he was left with a clever mouth smeared with honey to coax Yan's mother.
The Yan family also does some business, but it is far from the Jin family. Besides, the Yan family's business has the children and nephews of other houses interfering, and Cheng Jiadart can't even touch the edge. This time, when he saw the Jin family moving north, he said that Yan's mother asked him to come with him, saying that he wanted to help the Yan family, but in fact, he was just to get some silver and spend it happily.
Cheng Jiabiao changed his method and said nice things to coax Yan's family, and also said that he was a bastard, so that the girl had a big belly and worried about herself.
"Sister, don't be angry, if you are really angry, you will beat me. Brother, it's okay if I have rough skin and thick meat, even if it's broken, it doesn't matter, I deserve it! He tickled Yan's hand and pulled his chest to expose the flesh.
Yan couldn't cry or laugh, "There are girls and mothers-in-law inside and outside the house, what kind of system does my brother have become like this!" ”
This Cheng Jiabiao is three years older than Yan's, and the two of them grew up together, and their relationship is naturally close. Moreover, Yan fell into the lake when he was a child, and it was Cheng Jiabiao who jumped down and fished her up, for which he also had a serious illness and almost died. How could Yan really turn his face with him, it was just that he wanted to knock and knock.
Yan shook his head helplessly, and said with a sigh of relief: "You followed me all the way to the capital, just because you were afraid that I would be wronged, and there was no family member in front of you to help me. My brother knew that I had just married into the Jin family not long ago, and I hadn't really stood up yet. My brother was a little restless, so he endured it for a while. When your brother-in-law needs manpower, his own family is more trustworthy than others. If you become his confidant, you can talk about anything in the future. ”
"Okay, okay, what does my sister say about me." Cheng Jiabiao agreed repeatedly, "Let's see how I clean up those grandsons in the future and let them secretly stumble." ”
"Come on, we'll talk about that later. There are still fathers and uncles in business, don't let them say anything, otherwise even Howen won't be able to keep you! Yan advised, and explained in detail before letting him leave.
Sending away his cousin, Yan only felt tired, and his back was sore and his stomach was also swollen. She hurriedly lay down to rest, now that she is a month old, she occasionally feels uncomfortable in her waist and stomach, as long as she lies down, it will be relieved.
But this time the situation was completely different, she felt her stomach fall badly, accompanied by the pain of piercing her heart. She felt bad and hurriedly greeted the girl and the mother-in-law, there was a mother-in-law in front of her who was old and had some experience, and when she saw this, she hurriedly sent someone to inform the second wife.
After a while, not only the second wife, but also the old lady, the eldest wife, the third wife, and Aunt Li all came over. They are all people who have given birth and raised, and they have had this experience, and when they see Yan's situation, they feel that the situation is not very good.
Because the Yan family is only seven months old, there is no stable woman in the house. The eldest lady hurriedly sent someone to invite her, and called a few old ladies to guard in front of her.
"How are you feeling?" The old lady insisted on staying in Yan's house and refused to leave. She had high expectations for the child in Yan's belly, and it was difficult to sit in a hurry at the moment. I think that this old lady Jin has also come through strong winds and waves, but now that she is old, it is related to the fourth generation of the Jin family, and it is difficult for her to be calm.
Yan's face was pale, and his forehead was full of beads of sweat the size of beans. She was giving birth for the first time, and suddenly her stomach hurt and fell, and her heart became more and more bottomless. Seeing goodbye to the elders in the family all around her, especially the old lady was full of anxiety, feeling that she was afraid that she would not be able to keep this fetus, and her tears couldn't help but fall down.
"Child, don't cry, what's wrong with you?" Seeing this, the old lady became more and more worried, and hurriedly asked Mama Lu to come forward and take a closer look.
Mama Lu uncovered the quilt and put her hand inside. I saw that her face changed, and everyone looked at her outstretched hand again, and it was blood-red.
"Mom, I'm red!"
Everyone knows what it means to be red for seven months.
"Where's Wen Po? Hurry up and send someone to urge again! The eldest lady held the old lady and gave the girls eagerly.
The girl ran out, ran back after a while, and replied breathlessly: "Back to the old lady, Mrs., Mrs. Wen has arrived at the gate of the house, and she will be there soon!" ”
Yan Shi was even frightened by the pain, his brain was in chaos, he only felt that the room was full of people, some people talking, some people running, but he couldn't feel the specifics. Her hand was on her bulging belly, and she felt that this little life was about to leave her, and her heart was like a knife!
After a while, the girls came in with two stable women one after the other. The two stable women were so tired that they stuck out their tongues, and they couldn't breathe, and when they entered the house, they were dragged to the bed to see Yan's.
"My God, this is an obvious dog fetus, I'm afraid it's ......" A steady woman screamed in shock, and swallowed the rest of the sentence raw.
The old lady and others were completely chilled when they heard this, this dog fetus is a vulgar folk saying, and in professional terms, it is low-lying placenta.
If the fetus sits too low, it may slip at any time, and the later it is, the more dangerous it is. Now that the Yan family is seven months old, if this child is born, I am afraid it will be difficult to protect it!
"You must keep this child, our Jin family is not short of money! Keep it, your reward is ten times greater, if you can't keep it, I'll send someone to smash your signboard! The old lady said with her eyes open, vaguely able to see the decisive demeanor of her youth.
The two stable women didn't dare to do their best when they heard this, touched the sweat on their foreheads and hurriedly started their hands. One probed the details of Yan's situation, and the other instructed the girl to prepare hot water, scissors, spirits, etc.
"You go to the Buddha hall with me and pray for the blessing of the Bodhisattva, and only when there are many sincere hearts can the Bodhisattva be moved!" The old lady took her three daughters-in-law to the small Buddha hall, and when she entered, she knelt down in front of the Bodhisattva.
She prayed sincerely, "The Bodhisattva is above, Jin Yu has sincerely worshiped the Buddha for more than 20 years, and has been blessed by the Bodhisattva to survive in the world." Now the granddaughter-in-law of the Jin family is pregnant with a dangerous fetus and is about to give birth prematurely. Please also ask the Bodhisattva to bless her and the child in her womb, I would rather reduce my life by ten years! ”
"The Bodhisattva is above, and the believer Jin Leng sincerely bows. Begging the Bodhisattva to bless my daughter-in-law and the child in her womb, and to bless my mother-in-law with health and longevity, I am willing to take out the most precious thing and sacrifice it. The second wife behind her hurriedly said, kowtowing again and again.
The eldest lady and the third lady hated when they saw it, but they didn't dare to show it on their faces. was originally her daughter-in-law and her grandson, but after saying this, it seems that she is the only one who is filial! Hmph, when you seize the opportunity, you will flatter, and you will be "the most precious thing", and you won't even say what it is, liar!
As soon as she wanted to speak, she heard the sound of footsteps outside, and Mama Lu's voice came in, "Back to the old lady, the young grandmother has given birth!" ”
"Alive?" The old lady couldn't care so much, so she asked busily.
Mama Lu's happy voice could be heard through the curtain, "Congratulations to the old lady, the three wives, the eldest and youngest grandmother gave birth to a ...... Boy, I'm crying. ”
"Oh?" Hearing this, the old lady turned around and knelt down again, kowtowing while talking about Amitabha, tears rolling in her eyes.
"Let's go and see!" She stood up without waiting for help, and walked outside in a hurry, while the others hurriedly followed.
The second wife was even more anxious, and stepped forward to hug the old lady.
When everyone returned to the door of Yan's room, they heard the cry of a child inside. It's just that the cry is a little faint, like a kitten meowing, and it makes people's hearts tug when they hear it.
A mother-in-law came out with a curtain, and saw that everyone was busy saluting, wanting to laugh but not laughing, "Congratulations to the old lady, madam." The young grandmother gave birth to a little boy! ”
It's a childe, and the word "small" is also used extremely appropriately. I saw Wen Po holding a red cloth in both hands, and a small baby was lying on it. He was covered with fine fluff, and his facial features were wrinkled and he couldn't see his appearance. His little mouth was open, and he snorted every once in a while, his eyes kept closed.
He was only two years old, his head was not as big as a rice spoon, his small hands and feet were motionless, and he was so weak that people did not dare to breathe out, lest he suffer the wind or give his life.
Can this live? The same thought welled up in everyone's hearts.
"Did you pull the umbilical cord?" The old lady is old and has some experience, and she is the first to calm down when she sees this situation. She doesn't care about anything vulgar or not, when has this been so exquisite?
However, this also exposes the heritage of the Jin family, which is not a scholarly family in its bones, and does not have the ubiquitous elegance and nobility of those families that have accumulated several lifetimes.
Wen Po shook her head when she heard this, "Don't worry, old lady, the time when this meconium comes out is different, and it takes two or three days to pull it out." ”
The old lady frowned when she heard this, if it was a healthy full-term child, she would not care so much. If the baby's meconium does not come out, it cannot be fed, and it is extremely easy for such a weak child to die if he cannot keep up with the feeding.
"Have you found the nurse?" The old lady asked the eldest lady next to her again.
"When I returned to the old lady, I had already sent someone to pick it up. I fell in love with two of them before, and my family background is also neat, and my milk is very full. When you enter the house, you will be able to regulate your diet, and your milk will get better and better. The second wife couldn't help but look sideways at the eldest lady when she heard this, and she felt a little admiration in her heart. Just now, everyone was in a mess, and she didn't see when the sister-in-law ordered someone to pick up the nurse.
Besides, although the Jin family lives together in three rooms, this is for the nurse's money to come out. But after all, it is a matter of the second room, and she should be arranged as a mother-in-law. It's just that the Yan family still has more than two months to give birth, and there were some things on Sister Xuan's side a while ago, and she was negligent for a while.
No wonder the old lady handed over the right to be in charge of the house to the eldest lady, she is really exquisite, and everything is arranged properly. I don't know if I haven't lived together for a long time before, but now it seems that the eldest lady really has some means.
As soon as she wanted to speak, she heard the old lady instruct again: "Get some sugar water, and put some on the child's lips first." ”
The girl hurried to do it, and after a while, she brought a reconciled brown sugar water. Mama Lu took it, dipped it in soft gauze, and hit it on the baby's lips again.
Everyone held their breath and watched, and the baby was suddenly touched, screamed twice, and then remained motionless. I can't even click my mouth, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to eat, and everyone's hearts are two points colder.
Yan sat up from the bed, "Old lady, my granddaughter-in-law begs you one thing, let me raise this child myself." As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed.
Mama Lu stepped forward to support her, "Grandma, now is not the time to be strong." You have to give birth to confinement, and the rest is decided by the old lady and the ladies. ”
"Child, you are so born. Your aunt has invited a nurse to come, and she will feed the child well. ”
"Old lady, I gave birth to him once. I'm afraid the fate of our mother and son is not deep, let me raise him for a few days, and the love of our mother and son is complete! Tears fell as he spoke.
The second wife hurriedly said, "Don't cry, it's terrible to hurt your eyes during the confinement." I will go to the small Buddha hall every day to recite the sutras, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless this child to grow up healthy! ”
The old lady saw Yan's face full of begging, tears falling down with a smile, and said with a sigh: "Since you insist on doing this, let's do it." It's just that you must not be too sad, fate is predestined, and you can't force it! ”
Staying by Yan's side is also taken care of by the girl, mother-in-law and nurse, and it is not necessary for Yan's to work hard. Since she wants to see the child a few more times, let's fulfill her wish. I'm afraid that when the child is really gone, she will have too many feelings for the child and will become more and more unable to give up.
The eldest lady saw that the old lady had been working hard for a long time, and her face showed tiredness, so she asked her to go back to her room to rest. In addition, he instructed the girl and the mother-in-law to boil soup, and sent people to the shop to deliver news, etc.
Not long after Haowen arrived at the shop, he suddenly heard that the little maid came to deliver a letter, saying that Yan had given birth to a boy, and he was very surprised. Although he didn't quite understand, he also knew that he would give birth when he was pregnant in October. It's only been seven months, why was it born all of a sudden?
The little guy couldn't understand the details, so he hurried back on horseback. Although there was some apprehension in my heart along the way, I was still happy even more. After all, it was his first child, and he was still a son, and his complicated feelings could not be described in words.
But when he entered the house, he saw the child, like a basin of cold water poured on a red-hot coal-fire.
"You're so alive, there's still something going on in the shop." He paused for a moment, looked at the boy twice, and then found an excuse to go.
Seeing this, Yan's tears flowed again, and the girl next to him hurriedly comforted her.
It's just that Yan wiped his tears, but the discomfort in his heart was not relieved at all. She took the child from the nurse's hand, carefully pressed it to her chest, and watched the child's face motionless.
Her mother's family was originally engaged in small business, but later gradually made a fortune, but it was far less rich than the Jin family. So there are not so many rules in her mother's family, and she still retains a lot of ordinary people's habits of living.
She clearly remembers that after her cousin-in-law gave birth, the whole family revolved around her and the child. The cousin was even more in front of his sister-in-law's bed, and he was reluctant to leave for a moment. A few days later, the child suddenly had fever and convulsions and died, and the sister-in-law was naturally very sad. My cousin tried his best to persuade him, and he didn't want to be unlucky in the confinement room, so he stayed down.
The elders didn't have any complaints, and they all felt sorry for their cousin-in-law to endure such a blow during the confinement, worried that she couldn't stand it and that something would go wrong. All kinds of tonic soups, home remedies, I heard that what to eat is good for people in confinement, so I opened up, that kind of care is from the heart, and people can feel it.
My sister-in-law's confinement was very good, and nothing went wrong. Soon after the confinement period, she became pregnant again and gave birth to a chubby son, who is now seven years old. The sister-in-law knows in her heart that she is grateful and cherishes her blessings, is very filial to the elders in the family, respects her husband, loves her son, and the family is happy.
When she married into the Jin family, the whole family was happy, thinking that she had entered a high-ranking family. In addition to being happy, she also felt honored, there were so many sisters in the clan, no one was as good as her to marry!
But when she really entered the Jin family and became a daughter-in-law, she felt tired and cold. Large families have many rules, and they can't be sloppy in their words and actions. There are more people waiting around, but the distance between family members is also far away. Many times, it is the rules and regulations that are followed, not the favors!
According to the rules, it is not wrong for Howen not to stay in the confinement room for long, but she is just bored in her heart. This child was given too many high hopes before he was born, but now he is abandoned. The old lady said that she was tired and went back, and the eldest lady Zhang Luo told her to go to the small Buddha hall to pray for blessings. In fact, the Yan family knew very well in their hearts that they all felt that this child would not survive, and left disappointed one by one.
Now, even his biological father doesn't want to take a few more looks. What a pathetic child! Yan's heart was sour, looking at the baby with a weak breath, he was stubborn, no matter what, he wanted to let this child live!
It is often said that the seven-month-old child is still alive after birth. The main thing at the moment is to get the child to eat.
Thinking of this, Yan hurriedly asked the nurses to come over and asked them to breastfeed the children.
The nurse hugged the child to her chest, which was bigger than the child, and the child's small mouth could not hold its head at all, and it would not suck. After trying several times in succession, the child was tossed and became more and more demoralized, and Yan had to ask the nurse to stop.
"Both of them have given birth to several people, and they have more experience than me in going in and out of large families to be nurses. In this situation of this child, how can I let him eat milk? The two of you are out on an errand, and if he is good, you can stay. If your method works, I will reward you heavily! "Yan has some ideas.
The two nurses looked at each other, and one of the older ones stepped forward and replied, "We are all ignorant women in the market, and we dare not be knowledgeable in front of the eldest and youngest grandmothers." However, I heard the old man in the family say that this newborn child can't eat milk if he has meconium in his belly. Drain the meconium first, and then think about breastfeeding. ”
Hearing her say this, Yan's heart was relieved, presumably she had some local methods, otherwise she would not dare to answer.
"Sister-in-law Liu, right? Do you have a laxative? Yan hurriedly asked.
"Yes, yes, but ......"
"You don't have to worry, this kid is already like this, if he really doesn't have the blessing to grow up, it's destined to be fateful, and he can't complain about others! Just say, do it or not, and make my decision! Seeing her hesitation, Yan continued.
When the nurse heard this, she said: "It's all a method of dropping slag from the soil, and I didn't dare to talk about it in front of the young grandmother." It's just that the young grandmother said this, so I said it, and the young grandmother should listen to the story. ”
Seeing Yan nodding, she continued: "This is a true thing I heard my grandmother talk about, and it happened in our family.
At that time, our family was very poor, and my grandmother had to work from morning to night while pregnant with her child. At the head of seven months, I accidentally twisted my work, but I didn't expect to give birth to the child in the ground.
At that time, there was no one in front of me, and the grandmother bit off the umbilical cord with her teeth, and wrapped the child in clothes and carried it home.
The boy was not as big as a young master, his head was like an apple, his face was wrinkled like a dehydrated orange, and he didn't cry a word.
Ordinary people, especially poor families, are often unable to support more children. When the grandmother returned home, she put the child on the kang, boiled some hot water and washed it briefly, and put on the clothes she had prepared in advance. She saw that the child couldn't feed and didn't pass meconium, so she simply ignored it. Life and death are fate, it's a big deal to have another one, anyway, there are already several children in the family.
Unexpectedly, the next day, the child pulled out a large pile of meconium. There was not much food at home, and my grandmother had no milk, so she fed her children rice soup. I didn't expect that child to survive, it was my grandfather!
Later, my grandmother found out by chance. It turned out that she left my grandfather on the kang and left it alone, but my eldest grandfather saw it and thought it was interesting, so he dipped his chopsticks in the pickle soup and gave it to my grandfather to drink. The pickles were made with a ground ring and ghost head ginger, but I didn't expect it to have this effect. Later, a relative had a child who was also born prematurely and could not pass meconium, which was also used in this way. ”
Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly went to find these two things. They are all grown on the side of the homes of the poor, and they are not expensive and easy to find. In a short time, the girls had gathered all their things and salted them again. When some of the soup is marinated, dip it with chopsticks, and reach in to dip it while the child is grinning.
Dead horses are treated as live horse doctors, and I don't know if they can work.
Unexpectedly, the next morning, Yan smelled a smell and hurriedly opened the diaper, and saw a large lump of black, green, black and green poop.
She cried with joy, and for the first time felt that poop was also a good thing! She hurriedly asked people to deliver a letter to the old lady and others, and instructed the girl to prepare water for the child to wash. The nurse naturally won a heavy reward, and the other one couldn't help but be a little blushing when she saw it.
"Grandma, I know a magic method that can bless the little master to grow up healthy and healthy!" Another nurse said, and when Yan heard the word "grow up", she naturally asked her to continue, "Tie a child who is about the same age as the little young master, write the eight characters of the little master's birthday, and then burn it." When Lord Yama received it, he would not send a little ghost to ask for the little master's life. ”
Try it if it doesn't work, anyway, it won't take anything, Yan hurriedly told the girl to do it.
