Chapter 80: End of Volume 1
Dong Shu woke up with Yuan Xi's crying, when she first woke up, Dong Shu was still a little dazed, and after being stunned for a moment, she realized that she had given birth, and it should be her daughter who would cry.
"Xianggong, is the child crying?"
Dong Shu was just about to prop himself up and take a look, when he heard a familiar answer in his ear, "It's Yuan Xi crying." As he spoke, Xu Shiqiu paused and said, "Yuan Xi is the name I gave our daughter to commemorate today's day." ”
Dong Shu didn't feel anything bad after hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, and said directly: "Hold Yuan Xi to me." As soon as Dong Shu's words fell, Xu Shiqiu gave Li Shi a look on the side, and then she walked to Dong Shu with Yuan Xi wrapped in a big red package.
Seeing her daughter in Li's arms, Dong Shu was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the child sideways.
I don't know if it's the reason why Yuan Xi was wrapped in a big red package, Dong Shu only felt that her face was red, such a small person, I am afraid that her face is not as big as her palm.
Yuan Xi, who was stared at by Dong Shu, didn't know if she felt the breath of her mother, and as soon as she was hugged by the Li family and approached Dong Shu, she stopped crying instantly.
Seeing that she suddenly stopped crying, Dong Shu looked at Li Shi with a little puzzlement, "What's wrong with Yuan Xi?" ”
"Back to Mrs., the third girl was hungry just now, but she won't be able to eat milk yet. As for this, the servant did not know. As he spoke, there was also a hint of puzzlement on Li's face.
Li didn't explain it too clearly, but Dong Shu, who heard her words, immediately reacted and said, "Then when can I eat it?" After saying this, Dong Shu glanced at Xu Shiqiu with a red cheek, and after seeing that Xu Shiqiu was not staring at him, he asked Li in a low voice, "I felt a little uncomfortable in my chest just now, when will Yuan Xi be able to feed?" ”
The Li family obviously didn't expect Dong Shu to say such a thing, although the Xu family is not as good as it was at the beginning, but there must be money for the newly born three girls to ask for two nurses.
Not to mention that Xu Shiqiu had already started to prepare his daughter's nurse before.
Li Shi glanced at Xu Shiqiu with a little embarrassment, and after noticing that Li Shi was looking at Xu Shiqiu, Dong Shu's face instantly turned red, "I'm asking you, what do you think Xianggong does?" After Dong Shu said this with a little annoyance, he thought for a while and continued: "If you don't know, go and ask your mother." ”
How could Li not know that she was selected to serve in Shihuan Courtyard because she knew how to serve the confinement and children.
Just when Li was embarrassed and didn't know how to speak, Xu Shiqiu looked at Dong Shu and said, "Lady, are you hungry?" Why don't you eat something first, and when you finish eating, you can just let Dr. Du take a look? ”
Xu Shiqiu said this, but he also thought that he would speak through Doctor Du later, so that Dong Shu would give up the idea of feeding Yuan Xi.
But he didn't expect that after Dong Shu finished eating a big bowl of chicken noodle soup without any salt, Dr. Du was very much in favor of Dong Shu personally feeding Yuan Xi.
"It's a good thing that Mrs. is willing to feed Yuan Xi, it's good for her and Yuan Xi's health, but when the child is young, the interval between each meal is very short, and Mrs. is afraid that she will not sleep well." Doctor Du is the only four people in the Xu family who can call Yuan Xi's name now, he looked at Xu Shiqiu After saying this, he saw his frowning brows, thought for a while and continued: "If you are really not at ease, choose a nurse to take care of Yuan Xi at night, and during the day, Yuan Xi will be placed next to Mrs. ”
Hearing Dr. Du's words, Xu Shiqiu finally agreed to his method.
Dong Shu also knew that the child loved to cry when she was young, thinking about the first two months when her aunt gave birth to her cousin, her cousin was always crying every night, and she was ready to cry on Yuan Xi.
But what she didn't expect was that Yuan Xi was particularly easy to raise.
As long as you feed her regularly and pay attention to her from time to time, she will pout and cry if she gets her diaper dirty. But if someone changes the diaper in the shortest possible time, she will put away the pouting just now and fall asleep sweetly again.
The Xu family didn't expect that Miss Xu San would be so easy to support, and when the people who took care of her in the back found the pattern, they roughly calculated how long she would urinate after she was full, and she didn't even pout.
Because Dong Shu gave birth in the early morning of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, before noon, the entire Xiahe Village knew the news that Dong Shu had successfully given birth to a daughter.
Although some people in the village are muttering behind their backs that Dong Shu did not give birth to a son, most people still say congratulations.
When the latter heard the former's words, he would snort disdainfully: "The Xu family is not like our family, even if Dong Shu gave birth to three or four daughters in a row, they can afford it." Besides, Dong Shu is still young, and she gave birth to a daughter within a year of marriage, and she will definitely be able to give birth to a son in the future. After saying this, the man rolled his eyes at the person who had just spoken.
The person who spoke before saw that it was a person who had a good relationship with the Dong family who said this, so he naturally didn't dare to speak again.
What's more, the family of the person who just said that 'gave birth to three or four daughters in a row' is his family.
His family is not as rich as the Xu family, except for the first daughter, the next three have been sent away, and I don't know if they are alive or dead now.
Dai was also a little sad after hearing the news that Dong Shu gave birth to a daughter, but fortunately, Dong Lei was at home today and persuaded her in time.
"The third prince likes his daughter, before Shu'er was pregnant, he said that Shu'er was pregnant with a daughter, this time he made his wish come true." Dong Lei first opened his mouth to tell his mother Xu Shiqiu's attitude, and then continued: "There are many men in the Xu family, and the big house and the second room are only one daughter in the family, and Shu'er will definitely be able to give birth to a son after that." The last sentence naturally told his mother that the Xu family's big house and second room had daughters.
After hearing Dong Lei's two words, Dai immediately smiled awkwardly, and then thought about the only two old hens left in his house distressedly, looked at Dong Lei and said: "Lei'er, in a few days, it should be a foreign family to send confinement rice, and we have two old hens at home, both of which will be sent to Shu'er?" ”
"Well, Kaichun Niang raises a few more chickens, and Miao'er is also married, so she must be pregnant soon. When Miao'er is pregnant, you will send a chicken to Miao'er in January. After Dong Lei said this, he looked at his mother's painful expression, thought for a while and said: "The third son told me that after Shu'er gave birth to a confinement child after the year, he would go to the capital. After he went to the capital, all the shops at home were handed over to me to watch, and my monthly income doubled. ”
Dong Lei still understands his mother, and as soon as these words came out, Dai, who was still in pain just now, immediately spoke: "Then the mother is going to feed the chickens, and they have been fed better in the past two days, and they will also gain weight." After saying this, Dai gritted his teeth and said again: "You go to the town tomorrow to talk to Miao'er about Shu'er's birth, and she told me before that she would prepare confinement rice for Shu'er." It just so happens that you buy some polished rice by the way, although the Xu family does not lack these, our family cannot lack gifts. ”
As soon as Dong Lei heard his mother's words, she knew that she was afraid that she didn't plan to let Dong Miao give Dong Shu confinement rice.
Now when he heard that his monthly routine was going to be doubled, he immediately changed his words, and even asked him to prepare to buy polished rice.
"There are also eggs, mother, you also collect some from the village, since you have sent them, then send them generously and happily. Let the Xu family know that our family really treats Shu'er as their own daughter. ”
"Okay, my mother understands!" Dai has lived a long time, so he naturally understands what Dong Lei means.
Anyway, she has to give this sum of silver, it is better to be generous and do it better.
Because Dai thought that Dong Lei's monthly routine would be doubled, he went out with the copper plate at home after feeding the two old hens at home again.
When Dai collected a circle of eggs in the village, Xiahe Village also knew that the Dong family was going to send confinement rice to Dong Shu.
In Xiahe Village, the daughter gave birth, and the lady wanted to send confinement rice.
What to send, according to the situation of the mother's family.
Generally, it is eggs and grain, because it is a daughter, if the eggs are singular, the grain is no more than ten catties.
But everyone didn't expect that on the evening of the twenty-second day of the first lunar month, when it was almost dark, Dong Miao, who married into the town, came back from the town with his husband renting a mule cart.
Dong Miao brought back sixty-nine eggs, six catties of polished rice, six catties of white flour, and six red-tailed carp with the length of an adult's forearm.
"I heard from my eldest brother that my mother was going to give ninety-nine eggs, so I bought sixty-nine." As she spoke, Dong Miao also pointed to the polished rice, white flour and red-tailed carp and said, "These are all brought by my mother-in-law." "Dong Miao went back to her parents' house today, and she was very confident.
A few days ago, she heard her eldest brother talk about Dong Shu's birth, and as soon as she proposed to come back with confinement rice, her mother-in-law took the initiative to help prepare these things.
It wasn't until two days ago that she learned from her husband that it was the end of the year, when her eldest brother came to the house and told him that the Xu family had a shop in the south of the town, near the county seat, whose lease was due to expire in March this year.
Xu Shiqiu disliked that the shop was too small, so he specially asked the eldest brother to come and talk to her in-laws, and was going to rent it to her in-laws' family and let her in-laws go there to open a grocery store.
Although this shop is not big, only half of the current shop in the family is so big, Dong Miao also knows that there are many rich people in the south of the town, and this shop must also make money.
After all, my in-laws had looked for a lot of connections before, but they couldn't rent a shop in the south of the town near the county seat.
After Dai heard Dong Miao's words, although he felt sorry for these things, he didn't speak stingily when he thought of the New Year's gift that Dong Miao sent back a year ago.
Later, after knowing from Dong Miao's mouth that Xu Shiqiu had pulled her mother-in-law's family, she naturally had nothing to say.
"You have a good rest tonight, tomorrow morning when the sun just emerges, you will arrive at the door of Xu's house, but you can't get up late." After Dai explained Dong Miao's sentence, he went to kill the last little rooster in the family, preparing to make up for his daughter and son-in-law.
Because Dai understands that as long as the son-in-law's family is developed, there will be more days for Dong Miao to supplement his mother's family in the future.
Dong Miao saw that her mother rarely understood so clearly, and knew that it must be the credit of the eldest brother.
At the same time, Dong Miao also understands that the relationship between her family and Dong Shu has gradually eased, as long as it continues like this, whether it is the eldest brother, her or her younger brother, it will change the life that originally belonged to them.
