Chapter 238: Washing Three
The two midwives looked at Miss Cao'er's small white and tender hands, and their eyes lit up. The midwife who said that the fetal position was not correct squeezed out a smile and said, "Miss, if you come, Madame will be saved!" Don't be afraid, just do what we say! ”
Mrs. Fang, who was dying of pain, seemed to be a little unconscious. After Yu Xiaocao fed her a few drops of spiritual liquid, she forcibly held back the apprehension in her heart, carefully washed her hands and washed them, and specially smeared the spiritual liquid, resolutely putting an end to any possibility that could hurt her godmother.
The entrance to the palace has been opened to seven fingers, and Xiaocao's hands are small and soft. She reached in lightly, and not too far she came across a tiny foot. As if sensing that someone was touching him, the little foot kicked slightly harder. Xiaocao carefully pushed this foot inside, and told Wen Po as she pushed. Perhaps because of her calm and calm attitude, the two stable women wiped the beads of sweat on their faces, gradually calmed down, and guided Xiaocao's movements little by little.
With the help of the two stable women, the fetal position was adjusted soon after, and Xiaocao touched the little guy's fluffy little head, and the hanging heart finally let go.
The little guy seemed to be impatient, the fetal position had just been adjusted, and Mrs. Fang, who was physically and mentally exhausted, did not exert much effort, and the little guy's head squeezed out of the birth canal and fell into the palm of Xiaocao's hand.
The midwife's heart was completely relaxed, and the two of them helped the little guy cut the umbilical cord, and the other wiped off the dirty blood on his body with a soft cloth towel, and smiled and said to the little grass holding the baby: "Pat him and let him cry!" ”
Xiaocao was slightly flustered and held the soft little body of the little guy. The newborn fetus is red all over, and the skin is so tender that it seems to be transparent. The little guy had his eyes closed, his little face wrinkled, and he couldn't tell who he looked like. He seemed uncomfortable in Xiaocao's hands, twisted his little face, and kicked his legs. With such a young and cute baby, how can Xiaocao get his hands on it?
Seeing this, the midwife smiled and took the newborn and skillfully turned his body. Maybe it was from a soft hand to a rough big hand, which made him uncomfortable. Before the midwife's hand slapped his ass, the little one let loose in a bad temper and began to cry.
In the house town that was anxiously waiting in the yard, when he heard a loud and powerful cry, his heart was relieved, and he grinned and muttered: "Stinky boy, crying quite loudly." It must be a tiger little guy, like his old man!! ”
With the help of the midwife, Xiaocao puts a diaper between the legs of the little one. Looking at the small and delicate little Ding Ding under the little guy's lower abdomen, I thought evilly: If the little guy grows up and knows his nakedness... The body was seen and touched by her, and she didn't know what kind of expression it was.
With a smile on the corner of her mouth, she wrapped the little guy in swaddling clothes, tied it into a small bag, hugged it to her godmother, and said softly: "Godmother, it's a younger brother!" You see, the little guy is so energetic. ”
Mrs. Fang tiredly tried to open her eyes, and looked at the little guy who was crying and his face was flushed, and the corners of his mouth slowly hooked up a loving smile - this is the little guy who is related to her, for the sake of this child, she has waited too long and too long, and is almost about to give up. With him, her life was complete. Mrs. Fang, who had been tossed by this little guy for a day, fell asleep fragrantly after seeing the child. In my sleep, the smile on the corner of my mouth is still so moving.
"Daughter-in-law...... Is my daughter-in-law okay? "I was finally allowed to enter the house town of the delivery room, and when I came in, I didn't care about the child, and first asked Mrs. Fang about the situation.
Linglong held a basin of sewage and whispered to him, "Shhh...... Madame is so tired that she has just fallen asleep, so keep your voice down and don't make any noise to her. ”
Hearing this, the house town hurriedly lowered his voice, pinched his throat and whispered, "Is your wife okay?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay! Mother and son are safe!! The two women smiled with chrysanthemums on their faces, as if they saw the silver ingots and beckoned to them.
The house sat down by the delivery bed, not even bothering to look at the child, and only focused on the slightly pale face of the daughter-in-law. Gently brushing a strand of naughty hair from her cheeks, he said softly as if he was afraid of disturbing her: "Daughter-in-law, thank you for your hard work!" ”
Holding the forgotten little guy, Yu Xiaocao's eyes were full of emotion and envy. In this era of male superiority and inferiority of women, and the coexistence of wives and concubines, if there is such a person, although he will not say any rhetoric or do any romantic acts, but he will love only one of her with all his heart, what a happy thing!
If Yu Xiaocao had a choice, if she couldn't meet someone who loved her wholeheartedly, she would rather be single for the rest of her life until she was old......
The little guy named Fang Haolin early in the morning, as if he was born to deal with his father, as long as the house town hugged him, he would cry wolf howl, and it didn't rain when it thundered. The house town also suffered because he felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, and he couldn't look at his baby son who was in his forties. Mrs. Fang laughed and said that the two must have been enemies in their last life.
Although Fang Haolin's little pot friend is a little temperamental, he is usually quite well-behaved. Except for a few chirps when you're hungry or a diaper is dirty, the rest of the time it's all about sleeping!
Listening to Xiaocao, breastfeeding is good for both the child and the mother, although the nurse invited it early, Mrs. Fang still breastfed Xiao Linlin herself. This made the house town dissatisfied with this little guy who stole his daughter-in-law's attention. After the birth of his son, his status in his daughter-in-law's heart has seriously declined. Hum! Stinky boy, see how I you in the future!! There was a sinister smile on the corner of Housetown's mouth.
Fang Haolin, who had just finished breastfeeding and was spitting bubbles in his sister's arms, sneezed and wrinkled his little face unhappily.
Mrs. Fang looked over a little nervously and asked, "What's wrong?" Did you catch a cold when you took a shower at noon? ”
As soon as the little guy was born, he was fed and drank diluted spirit stone water, and Yu Xiaocao knew very well in his heart that the little guy's body was as strong as a calf. "There are many reasons for sneezing, and it doesn't have to be illness," she laughs. Godmother, my brother's health is fine, don't be too nervous! ”
Mrs. Fang smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I've been looking forward to it for almost twenty years to come to such a small thing, I'm a little nervous!" Cao'er, you must remind me in the future, don't spoil the little guy! ”
Yu Xiaocao put Xiao Linlin, who was already asleep in her arms, on the bed next to her godmother, and whispered: "People often say: strict father and mother." Isn't there a godfather? ”
Mrs. Fang thought for a while and said with a smile: "As far as your godfather's temperament, don't look at the beard, you still look like a child." He actually competed with his own children for favor, and it was enough! ”
Yu Xiaocao quipped: "Doesn't this mean that Godfather is nervous about you and cares about you!" You can't patronize your brother and ignore your godfather! ”
"That's it, that's it! The girl is right!! The house town pushed the door in, his face was covered with a deep smile, touched Xiaocao's hair, and praised, "Good girl, godfather didn't hurt you in vain!" ”
Mrs. Fang was a little shy in her heart, but she used a big white eye to hide the shy joy in her heart......
After the birth of a newborn, in addition to the full moon, the most solemn thing is to wash the three. 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 three" is, first, to wash away filth and eliminate disasters; The second is to pray for auspiciousness and seek good fortune.
Because relatives and friends are in the capital, Fang Haolin's washing of small pot friends is simple and grand. To put it simply, it is because there are not many people who come, and many relatives and friends in the capital can't rush to get the news. It is said to be grand because parents and people around them attach great importance to this matter, and there should be a lot of the same.
On the afternoon of the third day after Fang Haolin's little pot friend was born, Yu Xiaocao's family came over early, and Liu's and Xiaocao's aunts helped Zhang Luo wash the third matter.
The two midwives smiled like a flower on their faces, and with the help of the girls, they set up incense tables on the front of the outer hall of the delivery room, and enshrined thirteen gods such as the mother who gave birth, the mother who gave birth, and the mother who gave birth to the child. The incense burner contains millet, which is used as incense ash for incense. Mrs. Fang's bedside is also offered a statue of "Kang Gong Kang Mother", and five bowls of osmanthus cake are placed in front of her as offerings.
The girls put on the table a copper basin containing locust tree sticks and wormwood to boil into sap, and some ceremonial supplies. At this time, the big and small officials of Tanggu, the stewards on the dock, and several cronies of the house town also came to the door with gifts for the pot. Even Princess Jing brought her two sons to congratulate her in person.
Wen Po picked up Xiao Linlin, and the washing began. The town of the house has been an orphan since he was a child, and the master is far away in the frontier, so the Yu family is his own family, and Yu Hai takes the lead in adding a small spoonful of water to the basin, and then puts the gifts they brought into the basin. This is "adding a pot".
Yu Hai and his wife added a pair of silver bracelets engraved with "auspicious wishes" and "longevity". Yu Hang also used his own small treasury to add a delicate silver collar to Xiao Linlin. Xiaolian is a pair of anklets with bells hanging from them. Even the little stone, which is less than seven years old, has been added with nine silver rings. As a sister's Xiaocao, she prepared the gift early, which is a set of small locks inlaid with gold and jade, which is exquisite, chic and auspicious.
Princess Jing gave a pair of jade ruyi with mutton fat jade, and the two sons also loosened valuable gifts. In particular, the king of Yangjun sent not only valuable but also rare, a small pendant carved from ivory brought back from the West.
The officials of Tang Ancient Town and the subordinates of Fang Town also added pots in turn. The girls also added some longan, red dates, chestnuts and other happy fruits.
From time to time, the two stable women said festive greetings, such as when adding water, they would say "long flowing water, smart and clever"; When adding jujube chestnut longan, they will say, "Early Lizi, Liansheng Guizi, Longan Longan, Lianzhong Sanyuan......
After adding the pot, Wen Po picked up the mallet and stirred it in the basin, and said, "One stir, two stirs, three stirs, my brother leads my younger brother to run." Seventy, eighty, crooked, naughty, sighing and snoring! Xiaocao listened to it with great interest and thought it was quite interesting!
