Within two days, Aunt Li also gave Lin Zhu a return gift, bringing two chickens and a basket of eggs. Because her eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant, Lin Zhu doesn't want her to break the bank again, anyway, she has a lot of food here, so she wants her to take it back, so that she can make up for Liu Qiucui's body, after all, pregnancy is a big deal. But Aunt Li said that she didn't take it back, and mentioned that Liu Qiucui was happy because of pregnancy, and she couldn't eat meat, eggs, fish, or anything, and fried some cabbage with meat every day, and the cabbage was eaten, and all the meat was left, and they were watching from the side, and there was nothing to do in a hurry, but fortunately, the doctor said that it would get better in the first three months.

Lin Zhu listened to Aunt Li's chatter for a while, and now the family is preparing for the New Year, so she can only stay here for a while, and when she leaves, Lin Zhu told her that there is no cabbage and it is okay to take it from her. Aunt Li nodded, waved her hand again to signal that she didn't want to send it, and turned to leave.

Lin Zhuren is weak and weak, so he can't always hold the little bun, but he can't let him lie down all the time, and the little bun will lose his temper after a long time. Lin Zhu remembered the kind of newborn backpack bag that he had seen before that could be hung on his chest, which was divided into four parts, a backpack, a waist stool, a hat and a saliva towel. The main thing is the backpack and waist stool. Lin Zhu asked Aunt Li for help, Aunt Li listened to Lin Zhu's introduction, and felt that this idea was very good, and it could also be used after her little grandson was born in the future, and with this back bag, it not only saves effort, but also frees your hands. Aunt Li happily helped with the design and production. After that, the children before the age of three or four in Linjia Village enjoyed this treatment if they could. Even this kind of backpack bag is spread in various places.

Because of the limited materials, the back bag is a little simple, and it is not the same as the one sold in the shopping mall I saw before, but it is enough for Lin Zhu. In this way, you can hold the little bun of Fu Douer for a while and walk around the house for a while.

The little bun in her arms also looked very happy, and she also smiled with her small mouth split, "What are you laughing at?" You little naughty. Lin Zhu teased him while holding him around the room. Looking at his little face, which was much fatter than at the beginning, Lin Zhu felt a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. Her mind is an adult, and her natural motherhood is spontaneous. Kiss his little face gently, feel the touch brought by the delicate skin, very comfortable.

It's about to come to the end of the year, Lin Zhutuo people went to the town to catch the market when they bought some noodles and red beans and sugar back, and saw someone steamed bean buns during the New Year, and they also had to make dumplings. Steamed bean buns and dumplings wrapped in Lang are first put outside to freeze, and then they can be heated or boiled when they are eaten, which also saves a lot of cooking time, because as the time to take care of Fu Dou'er is getting longer and longer, now Fu Dou'er is very sticky to her, when he is awake, he will cry when he can't see her, Lin Zhu feels that it is the reason for his insecurity, maybe he was treated slowly when he was too young before.

In this way, Lin Zhu even washed diapers in the house, where Fu Douer could see it.

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, Linjia Village here regards this day as a small year, because this day is also the festival of the stove, so every family will prepare sugar to sacrifice the king of the stove, I heard that the sugar is used to stick the mouth of the king of the stove, so that he can not say bad things in the world. Lin Zhu also sacrificed to the Lord of the Stove according to the custom, although she didn't believe in this, it was also very fun and interesting to do.

After this day, the end of the year is closer, and every household cleans up the dust and cleans the house. Then I began to prepare things to eat for the New Year, as well as things to go to relatives.

Lin Zhu has no relatives to move around, and the two families who want to be good have already given New Year's gifts, so she just needs to prepare what she wants to eat for the New Year. The staple food has been made of bean buns and dumplings, and then it is ready to cook the pig's head and make it into pig's head meat. I also have to marinate some pork belly and pork heart and pork liver, and the two chickens sent by Aunt Li were killed and cleaned up, so Lin Zhu is also ready to boil one first, and then dry it for later use after cooking.

It takes a long time to burn the fire to do this, but fortunately, there is not only firewood such as straw at home, but Wang Lin also sent a lot of firewood to Lin Zhu, which is enough. So Lin Zhu boiled all these while Fu Dou'er was asleep.

On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, the day was very cloudy, and it seemed to be snowing from the morning, and small snow particles fell from time to time, and it didn't take long for big snowflakes to fall from the sky, and the snow was getting bigger and bigger. By noon it was already covered with a thick layer. Although it stopped, the sky was still overcast.

After Lin Zhu dried the washed diapers, he wanted to take the broom to the front yard to sweep the way out while Fu Dou'er was sleeping, because he had to go to the well from time to time to fetch water, and if he stepped on the snow, it would be terrible to slip by the well.

She walked out of the house, and the snowflakes outside fell on her face, and she couldn't help but shiver. Shrinking his neck, he still swept to the front yard with a broom.

Because Fu Dou'er fell asleep, Hei Dou'er was also liberated, and when he saw Lin Zhu going out to clear the snow, he also followed it out. As soon as I arrived outside the door and saw the white snow world outside, I was very excited, and I shook my four little short legs in the snow. Lin Zhu didn't care about it, and let it play in the yard.

After sweeping down the road for dozens of meters, Lin Zhu felt that his back was a little sweaty, and when he arrived at the well, he cleaned up the snow around him. When I was about to call Black Beans back together. Suddenly, I heard a knock on the door outside, and a deep voice, "Is there anyone?" Okay, help! "It's a woman's voice.

Black Beans suddenly rushed to the courtyard gate and shouted outside. The people outside heard the sound of a dog, and it seemed to have the intention of retreating, but after a while, there was a sound of banging on the door, but it was not as loud as just now, and the person's voice was much lower, "Okay, okay, open the door, give saliva." ”

Lin Zhu picked up a stick from the side and held it in his hand, and when he arrived at the door, he gently opened a crack in the door. I saw a woman in her forties sitting outside, with very thin clothes on her body, her face and hands were red from the cold, her hair was a little messy from the wind, her eyes were closed, her back was against the wall, and she looked weak. Lin Zhu opened the door, and Hei Dou'er rushed out first, shouting at the woman, but the woman just opened her eyes and looked at it, without any movement, probably frozen. Lin Zhu walked over and touched her with his hand, "Are you okay?" Can you still move? ”

The woman looked at Lin Zhu and reluctantly said, "Little girl, where are the adults in your family?" Can you get them to give me a drink, I really can't walk. "Wait a minute." Lin Zhu stopped drinking the black bean, didn't let it scream anymore, and let it wait at the door, and then she hurriedly went back to the house to get a pot of hot water and brought a cup over.

"Thank you." The woman had improved significantly after drinking hot water. "Where did you come from, how did you come to my door?" Lin Zhu's house is a little remote, and few people pass by here, so she asked a little uneasily.

"I came from Qingluan Town, and I wanted to find something to do, but I didn't find anything along the way, and I ran out of entanglements." The woman sighed. "What about your family?" Hearing this, the woman's face suddenly turned ugly, and she said with some hatred, "I don't have a family. As soon as I heard it, I knew that Lu Dao was a person with a story, and Lin Zhu was not good at asking.

"What kind of job are you looking for, now you are preparing for the New Year, and no one is looking for helpers." Lin Zhu felt that at this time, she would not find any work.

"I used to work in a big family for more than 30 years, and I could do any job in the family. Even if you go to the field to farm, you are capable. The woman paused and took a sip of water, "Little girl, do you ask if the family needs help?" I don't want money, just stutter. "Do you take care of children?" Lin Zhu thought of the little bun at home, and it was really difficult for her to take care of it alone.
