"Where is the little doll? Show me! ”

Ye Yuan was talking, Fu Junzhuo ran over with a smoke, and shouted to look at the doll when he entered the door.

Yun Kai followed, "You quieted up and woke my brother up." ”

"Oh, okay." Fu Junzhuo knew that his mistakes could be corrected, and said in a small voice: "Aunt Lin, can I go in?" I want to see my little brother. ”

Lin smiled: "Come in!" ”

The little doll was placed next to the bed, wrapped in a bright red thin cotton quilt, still asleep. Fu Junzhuo saw it as soon as he entered the inner room, and quickly approached to take a closer look.

"Wow, he's so small!" Fu Junzhuo exclaimed, "Why is it so small, it's too small!" ”

Lin smiled: "You were so young when you were a child! ”

"How is it possible, I definitely can't be so small." Fu Junzhuo looked incredulous, and sighed again: "He's so small!" Then he compared his own hand to the baby's hand, "Wow, why is it so small!" ”

While sighing and shaking his head, "Little brother, I can't play with my toys when you're so young, you can grow up quickly, and I'll play with you when you grow up." ”

Yun Kai on the side was reluctant, "I don't need you, I have a lot of it, and my eldest brother's, eldest sister and second sister's, I don't need your toys." ”

"That's not necessarily," Fu Junzhuo retorted, "maybe my brother will like me more in the future, and he will use my toys." ”

Yun Kai said politely: "The beauty you think, this is my younger brother, naturally I like me more!" ”

"Like me more! I'm older than you, and I'm better than you can see my little brother. Fu Junzhuo said.

Yun Kai said disdainfully: "So what, this is my brother." ”

"My martial arts are also better than yours."

"This is my brother!"

"I'm better at writing than you are."

"This is my brother!"

"Okay." Fu Junzhuo was defeated. Discuss with Yun Kai, "We have such a good relationship, and your brother is also my brother, right?" ”

Yun Kai said generously: "Okay, but if you want to be an older brother, what is there to eat and have fun, you have to think about your younger brother, you know?" ”

The two little boys agreed to start the issue of how to take care of their younger brother and be my older brother.

……

"Brother Yuan, did you send someone to inform your eldest sister?" During the meal, Zhang suddenly asked Ye Yuan, "There is also whether you want to do the washing three, and if you want to do it, you must also be notified." ”

Ye Yuan said "oops" and said, "I really forgot, I just care about being happy." Let's do it too, our family is not short of this money. ”

The position of the three in the ancient Chinese birth ceremony is not low. Youzhou people believe that there are two major events in life: one is the "washing three" of three days after birth; One is the "succession of three" when he dies for three days. Therefore, whether rich or poor, there must be a move. But it's not like other places to do big things. The official celebration must wait for the "full moon", that is, the full moon.

So the meaning of the grandmother's question is not whether to do it, but whether to do it big, whether to kill pigs and sheep and feast guests. Ye Yuan definitely wants to do it, although he is not an old man, but he is not young, and he is still a son, how can he do it if he doesn't do it.

Zhang nodded, the son-in-law can do it if he wants, this is also a matter of giving his daughter a long face.

"Dad, can you not do the washing three?" Yunxi asked, she really thinks that the custom of washing three is not very good, the little doll who was only three days old, is going to take a bath in front of many people, shame is not ashamed and don't say, how dirty it is to wash the three basins and throw this and that, in case of bad luck, allergies and infections are unlucky, and the current medical conditions are not good, Yiyunxi said, it is better to toss less.

Ye Yuan was puzzled and asked, "Why don't you do it?" People have children who do three washing, why don't we do it? ”

"Listen to me first." Yunxi smiled: "I think so, if you want to do a big job, don't people want things?" Gold, silver, copper coins, and peanuts, walnuts, and dates, who knows if they are clean or not? My brother's belly button hasn't grown well in three days, if there is something unclean, my brother is so small, will he get sick or not? Besides, my mother's body has not yet recovered, and she has to receive a large number of people, will she be tired? ”

"It seems to make sense, wait a minute, I'll take a look." Ye Yuan listened to Yunxi's words, put down the dishes and chopsticks to look at the child's navel.

After a while, he came back and said to his grandfather: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, if we don't do it, I will definitely not grow well in three days, Xuanniang will fall asleep again, and I must need to take a long time to recuperate." ”

"It's okay if you don't do it," grandma smiled, "I remember what Yunxi said, old man, do you remember?" On our street, the one that sells gold and silver jewelry, a few years ago, there was not a child who got sick after washing three times, but I knew that it would be better to cry loudly. ”

Old man Lin nodded, "There is such a thing, maybe it is really like what Yunxi said, it is infected with unclean things." ”

"Then we're really not going to do it?" Ye Yuan agreed when he heard that the two elders were so simple, and he was disappointed again, he added a son to a lot of happy events, but he wanted to wash the three quietly?

"Why don't we make our own?" Yun Jin is a good person, seeing that his father was lost, he hurriedly came up with an idea, "Let's do this, cook and disinfect everything in advance and it should be fine." Yunxi, what do you think? ”

Yun Jin's last sentence was said to Yun Xi, Yun Xi was nodding and eating the food, as soon as he raised his head when he heard the words, he saw Yun Jin looking at her, Ye Yuan also looking at her, not only looking, but also a little pitiful, this is afraid of her opposition? When did her words work so well, congratulations, I'll eat more later.

After finishing the brain supplement, Yunxi smiled: "This is okay, it's good." "In the previous life, there were baby swimming pools in the small port of the street, and her classmates said that the child born in the hospital would give you a few baths in the hospital for a few days, and the fee was more expensive than the outside, she lived for a week, and she took out several red tickets just to bathe and touch the child.

"Then let's do it!" Ye Yuan was afraid that there would be any more objections, and as soon as Yunxi's voice fell, he hurriedly made a decision.

On the third day in the blink of an eye, his name was Ye Yuncong, the little brother named Congcong, and it was time to wash the third.

With only one's own family members present, the ceremony is much simpler, and eating noodles at noon, commonly known as "washing three noodles." "This is the same as the longevity noodles eaten on birthdays, which means wishing them a long life and a hundred years old.

After lunch, I started to wash three. The intention of "washing three" is, first, to wash away filth and eliminate disasters; The second is to pray for auspiciousness and seek good fortune.

The three washes are made by boiling with acacia puai, which also has some disinfection effects. Grandma touched the temperature of the water and felt that it was appropriate, so she untied Congcong's hug and stripped him of his essence.

In this kind of weather, the little doll's bare belly is not very cold, Congcong is still sleeping happily, and he glared at his calves twice because he was not restrained. Three days have passed, and the redness on his face has gone down a lot, and his wrinkled little face has also stretched, and he looks much better.

When Yunxi and the others threw all the things in the basin, grandma took a mallet and stirred it into the basin, said some auspicious words according to the custom, and began to bathe Congcong.

As soon as the water was sticky, the fragrant sleep began to cry, but everyone laughed, this is the "ringing basin", auspicious! However, as Cong Cong cried louder and louder, Ye Yuan couldn't stand it anymore, and urged his mother-in-law to wash and dry quickly, and went to eat in Selin's arms.
