Lin Kangping listened and went to take two strings of money, and said: "Father, I will send you the New Year's gift in two days, and I will take a string of money to play with today." ”

Tian seemed a little unhappy at first, but after listening to Lin Kangping's words, this is not a New Year's gift, there should be a big one, and he was happy in a blink of an eye.

"It's strange, I'm the boss, why didn't anyone ask me for money?" Zifu asked.

"You are embarrassed to say that your character is not good, and the fourth brother of the other family asked you for a time, so you gave someone a copper plate, and the brother-in-law sent the whole purse over. If you want to leave me alone, I won't look for you anymore, you are still the eldest brother, this shot is too stingy. Liu said with a smile, after Zifu went home, he didn't blame her for giving birth to another daughter, but still treated her as before, and Liu slowly let go of the burden in his heart and waited for her husband and daughter wholeheartedly.

Liu's words made everyone laugh, and Zifu saw everyone laughing, still quibbling and saying, "How is it possible? I can only give a copper plate, why don't I remember, don't be mistaken, right? ”

"No, I still remember, the second brother is more generous than you and gave two." Zishou said.

"You really can't rely on me, you said that the eldest brother is there, I don't have any eyesight to see, I can only blame the eldest brother." Zilu waved his hand and said.

"You don't say that you have your own intentions, but you still want to pull the eldest brother, it can be seen that you are unkind." Zixi smiled.

Ziqing laughed for a long time, suddenly felt a little pain in her stomach, frowned, Lin Kangping saw it and asked what was wrong, Ziqing said that her stomach hurt,

Shen Shi listened and hurriedly said: "Don't start the labor pain, if it hurts for a while, squeak quickly." ”

"It seems that my little nephew is also not very good, and when he heard that I was going to ask his father for money, he was in a hurry, and he was about to come out." Zixi's words caused everyone to laugh again.

After laughing, Ziqing felt okay again, and still beckoned everyone to play cards, saying don't spoil everyone's interest. Who knew that they had just coded two laps, Ziqing felt pain again, and Lin Kangping hurriedly instructed Xiaoqing to find Lin An to pick up Wen Po.

"It's still early, and some of the first children have been born for two or three days. Don't panic, I'll go get my things ready, you lie down. Shen said.

Lin Kangping helped Ziqing to lie down on the kang next door, Shen pushed everyone away, but no one refused to go, Zifu said: "My sister gave birth to a child, and we are also anxious to go back." It's not interesting for us to wait here, it's better for us to play mahjong while waiting for my sister to give birth to the child, maybe my nephew is in a hurry, and he won't toss his mother, so he quickly climbed out. ”

"What are you your nephew and crawl out of?" Liu asked.

"Otherwise, my sister-in-law and I will go over with the children first. We can't help here, and the kids are making a mess here. Chan said.

"Well, you'd better all go back. It's going to be messy for a while, and your sister is going to scream in pain, and it's weird and uncomfortable for you to hear it. Shen said.

In the end, the four Zifu brothers stayed, the Liu Chen family left with the children and Ziyu, and the old man and the Tian family were sent back by Zeng Ruixiang.

Lin Kangping sat next to Ziqing, holding Ziqing's hand, Ziqing's heart was also up and down at the moment, she knew that the medical conditions in ancient times were poor, and her age was not very old. Giving birth to a child is undoubtedly stepping into the ghost gate, and I don't know if I can return to modern times if I hang up? But if he wanted to throw Lin Kangping down by himself, Ziqing was also very reluctant.

Zifu and the four of them really played mahjong in the outer study, and Wen Po had been invited, checked it, and said it was still early. Let's go to the guest room to rest. Ziqing's labor pains only really started at dinner, at first it hurt once in half an hour, and gradually once in a quarter of an hour after an hour, and later, the more and more intensive pain made Ziqing full of sweat, Lin Kangping kept helping her wipe it, and Shen Shi saw that it was almost over, and told the maid to ask Wen Po.

Ziqing explained that Shen's scissors or something should be wiped with white wine first, the children's cloth and underwear Ziqing have been boiled and dried, and the room is also warm, so there is no need to wear a thick cotton jacket.

It hurt for most of the night, Ziqing had no strength, drank a bowl of chicken soup, Lin Kangping gave her a piece of ginseng, Wen Po saw that it was almost there, and drove Lin Kangping out, Ziqing didn't dare to shout loudly, one is to save her strength, and the other is afraid that people outside are worried, it really hurts just a few times, it is easy to open nine fingers, Ziqing is going to faint, Shen woke her up, and listened to Wen Po's instructions to work hard, "Okay, see the hair, work harder, make as much effort as you want, hold on, and the child will come out." ”

Ziqing was really exhausted, feeling that she had reached a limit, and she really couldn't use half of her strength, and she didn't even have the strength to shake her head. Shen gave her another piece of ginseng, rested for a while, and tried hard for a while, but the child still didn't come out. Wen Po looked at it carefully and said: "Ten fingers have been opened, it seems that there is a place where the child is stuck, don't stretch out your hand to block it, so that the child can't get out, don't try it first, I'll help you turn around, don't be afraid, listen to my orders." ”

After Wen Po finished speaking, she put her hand in, touched the child's head and slowly moved a little place, Ziqing felt a heart-wrenching pain, Shen helped Ziqing wipe her sweat while comforting Ziqing, in fact, she was also up and down in her heart, secretly chanting Buddha. After a while, I heard Wen Po tell Ziqing to work harder, Ziqing took a breath, pressed down with all the strength of her body, tried hard several times, and finally felt a rush out from under her with a bang, and finally heard the child's cry, Ziqing's heart was relieved and she fainted.

Here Wen Po hugged the child, cut the umbilical cord, put it in the water to wash it, and carried it out to report the good news, Lin Kangping heard that the mother and son were safe, and he was excited, and he almost didn't stop, but fortunately, Zifu and they were all on the side and supported him.

Wen Po went back to clean up the placenta that Ziqing flowed out, and the Shen family helped Ziqing change the small mattress and straw under him, and laid a small mattress filled with grass and wood ash, which allowed Lin Kangping to come in, looking at Ziqing's pale face, he was distressed.

Ziqing slept until the afternoon of the next day before waking up, only to know that he had given birth to a boy on the fifteenth day of the 22nd month of Yuanhong, and Lin Kangping had rewarded all the people in the family with a penny. Ziqing looked at the child with wrinkled skin next to her, and her first feeling was that she was dazed and frightened, and she didn't know how to bring herself into the role of a mother, and said: "It's so ugly, it's small and ugly, like a little old man, not to mention, it's quite similar to you." ”

"Mother said, it's good to grow up, you wake up, drink some soup." After speaking, Xiaoqing brought a bowl of chicken soup, Ziqing tasted it, but there was no salt, and he looked at Lin Kangping and said, "It's so unpleasant, there is no saltiness at all." ”

"Mother said, you can't eat salt for the first three days, you can just take a moment, tell me what you want to eat, I told the stove to do it." Lin Kangping personally took the chicken soup to feed Ziqing.

After drinking the chicken soup easily, Shen came over again, held the child and fed two spoons of water, and taught Ziqing how to hold the child to practice sucking.

Ziqing held the child's head with her right hand, hugged the child with her left hand, the child's body was soft, and she held Ziqing's **, and did not suck out the milk, just thin yellow water. Ziqing's heart is also soft and numb. The dazed and panicked disappeared, and a very peculiar feeling rose in my heart, a touch connected by blood. Some people don't believe that they are only seventeen years old, and they are still imaginary years old, and they are actually mothers.

Seeing Ziqing, Shen frowned and said, "It was like this at the beginning, so you have to eat more and drink more soup." When you eat well, your child can eat well. ”

After a while, a bowl of fish soup was brought to Ziqing, and in the evening, the whole pig's kidney was cut open to the meridians inside, and a little rice wine was steamed and sent to Ziqing, there was no salt at all, and it was a little ashamed, Shen stared at Ziqing after eating, saying that it was good for women to eat this after giving birth.

The next day, the child was finally able to eat some milk, although it was a little thin, but after all, it was milky milk, and Ziqing was overjoyed. Hearing Shen say that he drank more crucian carp soup to make milk, Lin Kangping remembered his own fish pond, and called Wang Tieshan to pull the net, leaving dozens of big fish to eat by himself, and the remaining 2,000 catties of fish were filled with water in large wooden barrels, and Lin Feng and they were taken to Anzhou City to sell.

Shen discussed with Lin Kangping, and the relatives came to give the milk gift, and they were all entertained, no matter how light or heavy the ceremony was, they should not be neglected. Wait for the child to be full moon, and then officially invite relatives and friends to get together.

Lin Kangping didn't understand these rules, and said: "Mother, you have decided, I don't understand these either, what do you ask me to do, just tell me." ”

Zhou and Qiuyu came together on the eighteenth day of the lunar month, twenty eggs per person, about a pound of meat, Ziqing thanked them, left them to eat, each family returned a gift, a family of cotton cloth and a bag of snacks, hundreds of dollars more than the gift they gave, and the two went back happily.

The next day, Zhou accompanied Ziping to come again, still those things, Ziqing was a little strange, and said to Shen: "Mother, do you say that my sister Ping saw us give us a return gift and brought her here, otherwise, why didn't you come with my aunt yesterday?" "It's not that Ziqing is too careful, in fact, Ziping has always been not close to Ziqing, Liu and Chen have children, Ziping has never faced each other, Zifu also went to her house to see her, and it is estimated that she will not give less silver.

"I'm also thinking about how many times Yonglian was born and I didn't see her coming, why did she come to see you? I get the idea. Forget it, give up something to do good deeds, you should accumulate some virtue for your children, my little grandson, so that he can grow up healthy and healthy. After Shen finished speaking, he hugged the child.

"Mother, do you think my aunt's family will come? We didn't go back to Gui Ying to get married, if they come, will we entertain them? To be based on Kangping's temperament, I am afraid of closing the door to them. ”

"Speaking of that time Gui Ying got married, there were really a lot of jokes, your aunt kept saying that she wanted to buy a dowry for Gui Ying, but she sent Gui Ying away for only two taels of silver, there was no decent makeup, or your second aunt and sister-in-law couldn't see it, one person added a silver ornament, eight dishes on the table, not even a decent meat dish, your aunt and father still stared at others to eat and drink, crying and mourning like digging out the heart and lungs, your sister-in-law can count your aunt and aunt father for a good meal." Shen smiled.

As he was talking, Zifu came over to give gifts to the children. (To be continued)
