After two days of studying, Li Bokang is also a little familiar with taking care of children, and he will no longer be as busy as he was at the beginning.

After the child was born, time passed quickly, and An An's appearance changed a lot.

At first, it was wrinkled and red when she was born, but now, only two or three days have passed, and An An's skin has gradually turned back to fair, and it is not as wrinkled as before, and it has begun to grow slowly.

It's just that now An An's face is a little peeling, and at first they were very worried about finding Dr. Hua, but after Dr. Hua's consultation later, they said that it was normal, and the two of them were relieved.

The time soon came to the eve of An An's washing, and tonight she was going to discuss with Li Bokang and the two of them about tomorrow's washing.

Li Bokang still didn't want her to go out, he was still worried about her body, in his heart, nothing was as important as her body.

And Yang Xue herself doesn't want to go out, it's still summer, she hasn't taken a bath since she gave birth to a child, at most she just wiped her face and hands.

In addition, on the day of childbirth, she sweated a lot and didn't scrub it, but when she cleaned up her body later, Chunyue and the others saw it and wiped it for her.

Therefore, at this time, she felt that she had a sour taste on her body, and she didn't want to meet guests in such a posture.

Moreover, her current physical condition is indeed not particularly good, although she can walk around as much as she sees, but it can't support her for too much time, in this case, why didn't she go out in the first place, so as not to cause trouble to each other when she got it.

Besides, even if she wants to meet guests, won't there be a full moon banquet later, and there will be opportunities at that time.

Therefore, in the end, the two unanimously decided that Yang Xue would still stay in the room, and as for the matter of taking the child out later, it would be on Chunyue, anyway, the child would simply go out through the motions.

After deciding, Li Bokang asked Chunyue to give her a serious order, which made Chunyue nervous.

In the past two days, Chunyue has also learned a lot of skills in raising children, so she is still relieved of this time of incense.

Seeing that Li Bokang made Chunyue nervous, she pulled Li Bokang's sleeve and interrupted his chatter.

Li Bokang felt her movements, and stopped the words in his mouth for a while.

Seeing him stop, Yang Xue looked at Chunyue and said, "You don't have to be too nervous, you just need to take care of An An when the time comes, don't think about other things, you just need to remember that the most important thing for you at that time is to take care of An An." ”

"As for what the master said just now, don't listen too much, just remember your task, it won't take too much time at that time, don't worry."

Chunyue was still a little nervous when she heard this, but it was much better than just now.

Seeing that she was not as nervous as before, she let her go down to rest and prepare for tomorrow's events.

After Chunyue left, she said to Li Bokang: "You scared Chunyue just now, so she will be very nervous tomorrow, and maybe something will happen at that time." ”

Li Bokang also saw Chunyue's expression just now, and he also knew that he had said too much just now, but he was indeed very worried, and he was also a little worried about what would happen tomorrow.

An An is his first child, his first relative besides Yang Xue now, and it is understandable that he is so worried.

In fact, Yang Xue was also a little worried, but in the end she was a little better than Li Bokang, and she didn't show it so strongly.

Speaking of which, she can do this, or because of Li Bokang, she believes that he will take care of their mother and son, so it will be relatively easy like this.

The two comforted each other again before finally falling asleep.

The next day

Today is the day of An An's washing, and because Li Bokang also attaches great importance to today, he gave himself a rare half-day vacation today.

In addition to him, there are also Yang Xiancheng and Zhao Countywei, and he also gave them half a day's vacation, and they still have to go to the government in the afternoon.

Since there are guests coming to the house today, yesterday Shumo instructed the subordinates in the family to clean up the house, and the chickens in the yard before were temporarily locked in the utility room.

As for the dishes needed for today's banquet, he also ordered Laishu to go to the street with Chunhua's sister-in-law and Goudan'er early in the morning to buy them back.

At this time, the family is almost ready, just waiting for the arrival of the guests.

Not long after the hour passed, someone came.

The first to come was Mrs. Wang, and when she saw that no one had come, she said, "Yo, it seems that I have come too early." ”

"Grandma Wang said with a smile, come, please sit in the house for a while."

This is Shumo's voice, and Li Bokang handed over the matter of receiving guests to him today, so when he received Mrs. Wang and heard her say this, he said this.

Mrs. Wang didn't say anything, so she followed Shumo to the living room, sat down on the stool on the side, and waited while knocking on the melon seeds.

Not long after Mrs. Wang came, County Lieutenant Zhao and Yang County Cheng came all the way, and also brought the female dependents of the family.

Soon, Dr. Hua also arrived, and he also brought the female dependents of the family.

At this time, the people were almost there, so the washing of the three began soon.

As the name suggests, it means that on the third day after the birth of the baby, a bathing ceremony is held, and relatives and friends are gathered to wish the baby good luck.

The intention of washing the three is, first, to wash away the filth and eliminate disasters and avoid difficulties; The second is to pray for auspiciousness and seek good fortune.

At the beginning of the washing, the first thing was to add things to the basin of the host and the guests, some of them added gold and silver, and some of them added copper plates and fruits.

When they add something to the basin, Wen Po will say auspicious and festive words when they add something.

Then, it was time to add the plate, and when I added the plate, Wen Po used a mallet to stir it into the basin, and when I stirred, my mouth was still chanting: "One stir, two stirring, three stirring, my brother leads my younger brother to run." Seventy, eighty, crooked, naughty, sighing and snoring! Something like that.

Finally, put the child in the water to bathe.

In fact, it is not necessarily said that it is a bath, just put the child in the water and dip it in the water.

When the child gets wet with cold water, he cries as soon as he sows, which in their eyes is auspicious, and this is called a ringing basin.

After that, Wen Po began to chant blessings such as "what to wash your hair and be a prince".

After washing, he symbolically combed the child's hair, saying something like "three combs, two bunches".

Finally, pick up the child again, wrap it and gently pat it on the child's body with green onions, which means smart.

After these are finished, the gold and silver jewelry prepared in advance is tucked into the child's body, implying the meaning of the child's future blessings.

Finally, there are some actions that imply that the child will not be sick or healthy in the future.

In this way, the washing of the three is completed.

This time, Mrs. Wang's harvest is also very good, because the things that add the pot are all hers after that, and she can take them away directly.

Counting it, she can also harvest a few taels of silver this time, and this is because of the small number of people.

After washing the third day, they were left for lunch before they were allowed to leave.

In the afternoon, Li Bokang went to the county government again.
