(I owe five chapters some time ago, and I've made up for four chapters, and today is the last day of three watches, and two changes will begin tomorrow.) It just so happens that tomorrow night is a radio interview, and I'm also relaxed, thank you friends for your support, and I'm working hard to code words! ）

When it was time to rest, Rui Xue persuaded Zhao Fengnian to go to the study, but the two have hardly been separated since they got married, and after such hardships during the day, Zhao Fengnian naturally did not want to leave his wife and children, and the wooden bed made when building the yard was also large, and it was enough for two children to lie down for two adults, and Rui Xue couldn't agree.

Sister-in-law Zhang couldn't speak if she wanted to persuade her, so she had to move the soft couch to the hall and make do with it for one night.

As a result, in the middle of the night, the two children had to wake up every half hour, either urinating or hungry, and the cry shook the whole yard every time, and it was extremely high-pitched. Their new father and mother bear the brunt of the noise, how can they sleep peacefully?

Rui Xue was already physically exhausted, tossing to the end, almost in her sleep, hearing the child's crying, instinctively scooped the child and put it on her chest, if it wasn't for Sister-in-law Zhang's side to protect her, the child could fall off the bed.

Zhao Fengnian slept in it again, and it was inconvenient for Zhang's sister-in-law to enter and exit, and from dawn to dawn, the three of them became black-eyed pandas and were tired.

It happened that Aunt Yun came over to help early, saw their appearance, asked the reason, and rarely relied on the elderly, half persuaded and half admonished, "Your husband and wife have a good relationship, and it is not bad at this time, the proprietress still has to take care of her body, but it is not okay to toss like this, the shopkeeper will move to the study to live for a month, and the left and right are not leaving home, thinking about their mother and son during the day, just come back at any time." ”

Zhao Fengnian blushed a little, and sure enough, he moved to the front yard.

It just so happened that Jian Wu Qinxin followed Caiyun to come in and serve, gave Rui Xue a salute, directly rolled up his sleeves, easily lifted the wooden couch back, and put it back under the window, entertaining guests during the day, waiting for the bedding, and whoever helped take care of the children at night slept on it, so that it was easy to get up.

In the washroom of the east house, two braziers were installed, on which wooden beams were erected, and the diapers changed by the children, after washing, were placed on them to dry in less than half an hour, and then the next batch was replaced.

Rui Xue initially felt that the arrangement between Sister-in-law Zhang and Aunt Yun was a bit exaggerated, but during the day, she saw that the diapers of the two children were flying all over the sky, and the dozens of pieces prepared were almost impossible to replace, so she knew that experience was really important.

The two children may have inherited their father's quiet temperament, in addition to being hungry and pooping and urine, rarely crying, Ruixue also saved a lot of thoughts, while hurrying to sleep and nourish her spirit, she tried desperately to stuff food into her stomach, what chicken soup, fish soup, pig's trotter soup, poached eggs, millet porridge, brown sugar water, no refusal, as long as it is good for her body and good for the child, all of them will eat and drink with their eyes closed.

Aunt Yun is old, and she takes a sewing basket and sits in the house to accompany the three of them during the day, and from time to time instructs the little maids to learn how to serve the children, Sister-in-law Zhang has good physical strength, so she is responsible for taking care of it at night, and Cui Niang is busy cooking in the stove, and the three of them have their own division of labor, and they are all busy and happy for Ruixue.

Just after noon, Cui Niang saw that Ruixue was still in good spirits, so she came in to ask how to prepare for the three dynasties.

Rui Xue was a little dazed, in her previous life, she had heard this in ancient times, but after all, she had never experienced it, so she was clear, so she said, "Sister-in-law, I haven't seen how to wash my children before, you tell me what rules there are, let me listen to it fresh." ”

Cui Niang smiled, pointed to Aunt Yun, who was sewing small clothes on the side, and said, "Second Aunt is the clearest, please say it." ”

Aunt Yun didn't shirk either, and scratched her scalp with the tip of a needle and said, "On the third day of the child's birth, I want to ask a midwife to come to the door, wash the child, remove the filth, and ask all the gods to bless the child in the future." Relatives and friends will come to congratulate on this day, and the family will prepare red fruits and cook noodles for guests to eat. ”

"What kind of fruit is a red fruit? At this time, is there still it on the mountain, or is it sold in the city? Rui Xue is not worried about eating noodles, there is no shortage of rice and noodles at home, but I don't know where to go to find the red fruit if there is no one.

When Aunt Yun and Cui Niang heard this, they all laughed, the flowers and branches trembled, Cui Niang even almost fell off the hairpin on her head, she hurriedly reached out to help, this was the first hairpin that Rui Xue gave her, she was so ruthless, "Sister, you think wrong, the red fruit is a red egg, not a fruit." ”

"Oh," Rui Xue knew that she had made a joke, blushed a little, and hurriedly said, "How many red fruits to boil, sister-in-law will look at and decide, the eggs will be bought in the village, and the money will go to the account office." As for the noodles of the banquet guests, the weather is a little cold now, just make noodle soup, cook more pork bone soup, put down the noodles, add some green onions to the bowl, look at the color is good, eat it is also fragrant, well, and then sauce some beef, cut a few slices in each bowl, save too thin. ”

Cui Niang has been busy in the back kitchen of the wine bite shop for these days, and has a deep understanding of the high cost of beef, the beef with good sauce is lighter than the raw beef, and the cost is higher, so she said with some reluctance, "Sister, the price of beef is high and it is not easy to buy, and secondly, put a few slices in each bowl of noodles, it is not real, it is better to fry some pork balls, adults and children love to eat, and the oil and water are big." ”

Of course, Rui Xue knew that she was reluctant to spend too much money on her own family, so she was grateful, so she immediately changed her tone and said with a smile, "I was afraid that my sister-in-law would be uncomfortable by the smoke and smoke, but I didn't expect my sister-in-law to take the initiative to be tired, so I'm not welcome to that sister." ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome, your sister-in-law and I don't do work for a day, and I'll be itchy all over." The three of them all laughed and discussed a few more words, and Rui Xue asked, "Do you want to bring a congratulatory gift to the door, and do we want to prepare a return gift at home?" ”

Second Aunt Yun shook her head, "No, usually the child's aunt will make some clothes and send them, and the rest of the guests mostly throw some copper coins when they add pots, and as for the distant guests, they all arrive at the full moon banquet." ”

Rui Xue remembered that Ma Lao Liu and Xu Kuan had said that their daughter-in-law was going to come over, but she couldn't say that there would be someone else coming to the door at that time, and she would prepare for it left and right, and try to be as complete as possible, "Sister-in-law, you are more tired, and then bake one or two hundred baked cakes, if you have a long way to come, send some as dry food when you leave, people are here to congratulate, we are not good at slacking." ”

"Okay, the oven is there, and it hasn't been removed, so it's easy to bake." Cui Niang should take a bite, although it is a custom for the main family to cook noodles and entertain guests, but it is not really possible to let the guests only hold a bowl of noodles, there must always be some side dishes on the table to match, and the three of them discussed the addition of fried fish, shredded potatoes, celery peanuts, spicy cucumbers, pig's head meat, chicken neck and chicken wings platter, a total of six side dishes, meat and vegetarian matching, the preferences of men, women and children have been taken into account.

Cui Niang had a number in her heart, and ran out again like a gust of wind to arrange, Yun Xiaoliu bought eggs from house to house in the village, but everyone refused to ask for money, and said that it was a congratulatory gift, ten of them, and twenty of them, and soon gathered three hundred, filled a large basket and carried them back.

Cui Niang took Caiyue's eggs and boiled them in two pots, and then began to prepare the side dishes to be used tomorrow. The dried beans in the front yard have been shipped, Yingzi, Jin Zhi'er and Pomegranate are all idle, so they come in to help Caiyun bake the baked cakes, and the children are not lazy, helping to do some small work, and the Zhao family's yard is busy.

Everyone was not familiar with Jian Wuqin, and when they heard that they were the guards of the proprietress of the guard, they were in awe, and no one dared to arrange work for them, but it gave them more opportunities to serve by Ruixue's side.

Rui Xue looked at them coldly, their hands and feet were quick, the sword dance was careful and decisive, the qin heart was simple and cheerful, they were all kind-hearted good women, and they added more and more love, often pulling them to sit down and say a few words of gossip, and slowly became acquainted.

Qin Xin likes to change diapers for the two children the most, every time she touches their slippery little buttocks, small arms and legs, she is very happy, giggles crisply, and the sword dance is also happy, but there is always a little sorrow in her eyes, Rui Xue saw it, but she didn't move, life is the best medicine, it can heal all pain, she always has a time to forget the past and completely integrate into the Zhao family...

After such a busy day, on the morning of the third day, Grandma Sun was pulled by the carriage again, this time she was not in a hurry, but she did not suffer hardship, so her face was good, and when she saw Aunt Yun, she smiled and said, "When I delivered the baby, my old wife was so tired that her hands and feet were weak, but I didn't expect that I would have to preside over this delivery." ”

Aunt Yun smiled and led her inside, and said with a smile, "Mrs. Zhao said that she was tired of the old sister the day before yesterday, but she was not at ease when others washed the child, and she had to do it with the old sister today, and after that, she must thank the old sister again." ”

Grandma Sun felt happy in her heart, reached out and stroked her unmessed sideburns, and said, "Okay, Mrs. Zhao believes in me, this old woman, don't worry, I will do it properly for her." ”

The two entered the inner room one after the other, Rui Xue recognized Grandma Sun and thanked her for helping her that day, so she hurriedly saluted and thanked her, and the old woman did not dare to hold it up, and returned the salute, so she looked at the child carefully, praised a few words, and smiled and talked about some experience in taking care of the child, although many of her statements were not scientific in Rui Xue's opinion, but she still listened carefully, which made her grandmother even more happy, and said straight in her heart, this Zhao family lady is a virtuous and courteous person.

Soon, the sun went up to the top of the east mountain, Cui Niang commanded everyone to carry a large pot of red fruits out, put them at the gate of the courtyard, and waited for the guests to enter the door to send two each, a good luck. Jujubes, chestnuts, lotus seeds, and longan are also packed into the blue and white porcelain plate, the baked cakes are neatly stacked in the big bamboo plaque, and the dough ready to be rolled out is also kneaded and placed on the board, and all kinds of side dishes have been prepared, placed in each large set of basins, covered with gauze covers, and the two large cauldrons between the stoves are boiling bone broth, which has been flushed with milky white color, and the strong fragrance floats out of the door, and every time people look at it.

Several children have already eaten bone soup noodles in the morning, and they have all changed into new clothes at this time, Wu Yu is a set of royal blue brocade gown, wearing a silver hollow hair crown on his head, plus he is already good-looking, this care is even more noble and extraordinary, Heizi and Da Zhuang are both duck egg green gowns of the same color, with a square scarf on their heads, and they are also elegant and handsome two scholars.

Niuniu was dragged and tossed by Sister-in-law Zhang for a long time, changed into a concubine-colored cardigan, with an ivory-colored skirt, and her black hair was no longer simply tied into braids, but two 'small mountain bags' were coiled in a regular manner, wrapped and tied with a ribbon with pearls, and then led her out.
