Tong's third production, the process was quite smooth. Zhang Baogao happily hugged his youngest son, and listened to Wen Po's congratulatory words, and immediately rewarded a double red envelope. He hugged him for a while, and then reluctantly handed over the child to the Lin family on Thursday, and then hurried into the house to see his wife.

Doctor Chen rushed back immediately after getting the news the next day, and sighed again and again after listening to the production process. He checked Tong's pulse and saw the baby, so he happily announced to Zhang Bao's family that the mother and child were safe, but they were a little weak, and they had to be taken care of during the confinement.

Shuning lay in front of her mother's bed and looked at her little brother, looking at his little hands and feet, and the tender and tender skin that was really "blown", how cute she looked.

This is her brother, her flesh and blood. Recalling the younger siblings born to their parents after remarrying in her previous life, Shuning couldn't help but feel a little gloomy. For some reason, not only did her stepmother not like her touching her little brother, but even her mother didn't allow her to hug her sister, saying that she was afraid that she would drop the child. Although she has siblings, she is no different from an only child. Speaking of which, since she has crossed over to this world, the house left by her grandparents will probably be able to fulfill her stepmother's wishes and be owned by her younger brother, right? Whether you keep it for yourself or sell it, it's pretty good.

Her mind went a little far for a while, until Tong asked someone to help the child change the diaper, and then she woke up and teased her current little brother again.

Tong looked at his daughter teasing his youngest son with a loving face, and when he heard her shouting "Oh, the baby is smiling at me", "He's grabbing my hand", "Look he's kicking", he will also smile.

Not long after, as soon as the curtain was lifted, Zhang Bao came back from a business trip, and picked up his son without saying a word. Shuning said dissatisfiedly: "Amma, you should have washed your face and kissed the baby again, your face is dirty." ”

Zhang Bao said indifferently: "How can my face be dirty? ”

Shuning retorted: "The wind is so strong outside, there must be a lot of dust on your face, the newborn baby is the most delicate, what if you get sick with dirty things?" ”

Zhang Bao helplessly shouted "Suyun, fetch water", then put his son back to his wife, turned around and went out to wash his face, changed his coat again, and then came back in and said, "Is it okay now?" ”

Shuning pursed her lips and went to tease her little brother by herself. Tong smiled secretly.

Zhang Bao asked her, "How are you doing today?" Nothing uncomfortable, right? Can the child make a fuss? ”

Tong replied: "I'm very good, the child is also well-behaved, when I saw him so quiet in the stomach, I thought it was a girl, but I didn't expect it to be a son." She smiled contentedly, and Zhang Bao said: "My son is the best, even if you go back to Beijing, you can straighten your waist, right?" , not inferior to others at all. ”

Tong smiled and asked, "You came back from outside the city again?" I've heard that farming is the duty of general judges, so why do you now ask a colleague to take care of it? ”

Zhang Baodao: "This is not as good as the Central Plains, and many things will not be so clear, such as the Guangzhou General Bai Yin Lida, in addition to being in charge of military affairs on weekdays, he occasionally adjudicates cases. That Su Tong was very good at the law of criminal names, but he knew almost nothing about farming; I have some experience in farming, but I have never decided a case. As soon as the two of us went to the prefect and discussed it. I was in charge of agriculture, water conservancy, and taxation, and the prefect was in charge of the overall situation. Aren't they all doing well now? ”

When Tong saw him say this, he remembered something: "Su Tongju is Mr. Su's brother, right?" Speaking of which, I really didn't expect to meet Mr. Su's kindred in such a distant place, and the things in this world are really wonderful. ”

Zhang Bao smiled: "Isn't it?" When he first met, Mr. Su thought he had recognized the wrong person, he and Su Tong had not seen each other for nearly ten years, and the two families had also broken off the news. It's good, at least it's easier for us to get along, and it's not easy to get into quarrels or anything. ”

Tong nodded. When she looked back and saw that her daughter had stopped teasing her younger sons, she was only listening to them, so she said, "It's not too early, go back to the house, you can see your brother every day." ”

Shu Ning nodded, and asked again, "Have you ever thought about what to name your brother?" According to me, he was born in Guangdong, and it would be nice to be called 'Yuening' or 'Guangning', otherwise it would be better to be called 'Haining'. ”

Tong Shi turned his head to look at his husband, and Zhang Bao said: "It's really good, but at the beginning, you Marfa said that if this compatriot is a boy, he will choose the name himself, and I will wait for me to write back and ask for it, now your brother is still young, don't worry." ”

Shuning thought about it and went out. Tong asked Zhang Baodao: "Who do you plan to send back to Beijing to report the news?" Wang Ruibao husband and wife? ”

"Could it be that there are others? They are the most useless now! As soon as I think of your mother and son almost having an accident, I can't help but be afraid. The more Zhang Bao thought about it, the more angry he became, "People like them will only be lazy and greedy on weekdays, and they will think about climbing up all day long, otherwise they will intrigue with others, compete for power and profit, and never refuse to do things well in a down-to-earth manner, and will only shrink behind others when they encounter difficulties." I've seen a lot of people like this! If they are left behind, I don't know what will happen again. It's a pity that their old son is Eniang's companion room, I can't move them, otherwise I would have been thrown out and killed! Now I send them back to Beijing to report the news, and I will not ask them to come back, so that I will not be angry! ”

Tong Haosheng comforted him before saying, "I'm fine now, you don't have to worry." It's you, who run around every day, and you have to take care of me when you come back, so you have to take care of yourself. Now you're living in that house, are you used to it? ”

It turned out that after Tong's delivery, confinement was inconvenient, so Zhang Bao moved to the high-ceilinged head house behind the main hall.

Zhang Bao replied: "Naturally, it's close to the study, and it's convenient for me to write official documents at night, so you don't have to worry about this." ”

Tong Shi said again: "This time I gave birth, thanks to the help of the Liu sisters, you have to thank them." ”

"I've already sent a thank you gift, don't worry, I still know these gifts." Zhang Bao said with a smile.

Tong smiled, and then teased his son with her husband.

Tong listened to the advice of the old lady Chen and asked a cook who could make medicinal food supplements to come back. She heard from Adi that there was a 12 women nearby, who specialized in introducing domestic servants to others, so she sent some silver over, and within two days, a woman in her twenties came, saying that she was introduced by 12 women, and her name was Ah Yin.

Ah Yin is twenty-five or sixteen years old, his facial features are still upright, he can speak a little official, his hands and feet are very sharp, and he is also very good at cooking, especially good at making soup. It's just that she is so old, and she still wears the long braids of an unmarried woman, but she is wearing a black dress that only widows can wear. When Tong saw her for the first time, he was very surprised.

After Ah Yin followed Ah Hua to the kitchen, Tong asked Ah Di about her origin. Ah Di had already heard some news from the Twelve Ladies and told her.

It turned out that this Ah Yin girl, who was originally a person in a seaside fishing village, had a childhood sweetheart fiancé since she was a child, and was about to get married before the fiancé went to sea to fish and encountered a typhoon and died. She now goes to the city every year to work as a domestic servant for a few months, earning some money to go home and help the family. Because of her outstanding cooking skills, many families are willing to invite her.

Tong Shi listened to her story and sighed, and after tasting the extremely delicious crucian carp soup she made, he immediately decided to keep this person for a long time. Seeing that the master's family was very kind, Ah Yin agreed, but said that he would go back to help when the family was too busy. Tong reluctantly responded.

In the following days, Tong's can enjoy a variety of delicacies every day, eggs and brown sugar water are not to mention, just the soup has Tongcao crucian carp soup, papaya crucian carp soup, red bean soup, flower pig's feet soup, red dates, wolfberry hen soup, lean meat stewed ejiao and so on more than ten kinds, chicken, duck and fish meat is indispensable, but it is not a blind big fish and big meat, every meat has fresh vegetables to match, the taste is also refreshing and delicious. Because I was afraid that she would have no appetite, I also made some barley rice, longan glutinous rice, red bean rice and the like for her, and there was also a snack basket on the small table next to the bed, which put sesame candy, peanut candy, red dates, walnuts and other snacks, in order to prepare her for hunger in the time other than the meal.

In addition, Ah Yin also made ginger vinegar and wine brewing for Tong's according to local traditions, and Tong's still ate the former, but he was not used to the taste of wine, and Ah Yin did not force it.

Tong's was pregnant in the past, but she just drank some chicken soup or something, how can there be so many tricks? As a result, after the confinement sitting, the whole person gained weight, and when he saw Zhang Bao, he was embarrassed, but Zhang Bao had been very busy recently, and he had lost some weight, but Tong simply pulled him to take a tonic together, but Zhang Bao was embarrassed now. He felt that he was a big man, and he actually ate maternal supplements, which was too shameless. So Tong had no choice but to ask Ah Yin to make another tonic soup for him.

Doctor Chen had already moved back to the village, and came to check her pulse every few days, and told Ah Yin what herbs to cook the best soup with, and Ah Yin was very interested in discussing with him.

After Shuning saw these scenes, she was led to the memory of the Cantonese food she had eaten and cooked before the crossing, and then looked at Ah Yin's eyes and lit up. The cooking skills I learned from Chunxing in the past are just the basics, and this is the real chef.

It's decided! She wants to learn how to cook from this master! Then I made all the delicacies I remembered and saw!!

Ah Yincai got guidance from Mrs. Chen, and happily sent the old man away, but suddenly felt a chill in the back of his head, and couldn't help but shiver.

=================== I am the dividing line ===================== time flies slowly

When the newborn was full of months, although he looked a little thin, he was still healthy, and he was very well-behaved and would not cry all day long, and the whole family hurt him to the heart.

Zhang Bao wrote a letter to his parents in Beijing to report that he had added another ding, but he remembered that it was already November, and he had to send something as a New Year's gift. It's just that he has just arrived now, and he missed the opportunity to send autumn food, so he has nothing to give for a while, plus the day is a long way, so there is no need to think about eating and the like. Zhang Bao discussed with the Tong family again and again, and then decided to buy a few satin horses and a horse of Doro from a newly acquainted comprador of the Thirteen Lines, plus a certain merchant's filial piety to meet the gift, a pair of copper cloisonné enamel bottles from the former Ming Chenghua Dynasty, to make up a New Year's gift, and let Wang Ruibao and his wife and another servant send back to Beijing.

Shuning hurriedly sorted out the pictures, letters and other things that had accumulated over the past few months, and specially drew a floor plan of the new house, and wrote a long letter, repeatedly instructing the servant to hand over to Duan Ning himself, so he and Zhang Baotong's family watched them set off for Beijing.
