After saying that, Wen Po began to bathe the baby. After this procedure, the water in the basin has cooled down. Poor little Linlin was stripped naked and put into the water. In the past few days, Xiaocao has bathed the little guy almost every day. The little one is also accustomed to the rhythm of one wash a day, and when the swaddling clothes are opened, he is obedient and silent. But when the little guy who stripped naked, when he was put into the slightly cool water, he was suddenly startled, and began to show his amazing loud voice, crying loudly.

Wen Po smiled and said: "The little boy is blessed at first glance, and the 'ringing pot ringing basin' is auspicious." ”

Then he began to bathe the little one, and while washing, he recited the greetings: "Wash your hair first, and be a prince; After washing the waist, one generation is taller than the other; Wash the eggs, as the county; Wash the ditch and do Zhizhou. ”

Another woman lit it with a mugwort leaf ball, used ginger slices as a support, and placed it on the baby's head, symbolically broiling it. Comb the baby's hair and dress it up again, and say "three combs, two folds, grow up and wear a red top; Draw eyebrows on the left, sideburns on the right, and find a daughter-in-law in the four villages; Brush your teeth, rinse your mouth, and talk to people so as not to be embarrassed. ”

He rolled the egg on the baby's face again, and said in his mouth: "The egg is rolling on the face, the face is like egg skin, and the willow is red and white, and it is really a lover." Then he gently slapped the little guy three times with a green onion, saying, "One dozen smart, two dozen smart"

……

Where is Fang Haolin at the mercy of others, the whole process is extremely uncooperative, his two calves are kicking, and he cries desperately with his eyes closed. Mrs. Fang heard it on the side, and she was so distressed. But the tradition passed down by the older generation is to pray for the blessing of the child, so she had to endure it and not stop it.

finally stayed up until the end of the washing procedure, Yu Xiaocao took Xiao Linlin and stuffed it into the arms of Mrs. Fang who was lying on the bed. The little thing, which was tired from being tossed, immediately stopped crying as soon as it entered the familiar and warm embrace, and fell asleep with a sob.

Yu Xiaocao expressed extreme disapproval of tossing a three-day-old baby like this. No wonder the survival rate of babies in ancient times was low, if the body was a little weaker, it would be strange if they didn't toss and get sick! That night, Xiaocao took a hot bath with spirit stone water for the little guy with some nasal congestion, and added spirit stone liquid to the water he drank, so that Xiao Linlin avoided the danger of getting sick.

This spring, Yu Xiaocao lived a full and busy life. Serving the godmother's confinement, trying to get her confinement meals to replenish her body; helped the godmother take care of Fang Haolin's little pot friend, Xiao Linlin only stuck to her godsister except for his mother; I also have to go back every few days to help water water, corn and potatoes, and top dressing......

Of course, she doesn't have to do it herself, her father and mother are in the family's more than a dozen acres of fields, and her aunt's family has healed to help her, she only needs to be responsible for the so-called "fertilizer" in a fake way.

When she planted melons and vegetables last year, Yu Hai didn't believe much in her so-called "fertilizer", which could promote crop growth. Originally, it didn't look much different from Qing Shui, colorless and tasteless, and he thought it was his youngest daughter's playhouse who said it casually.

But later, the vegetable field and melon field at home rose well, not to mention the watermelon, and I don't know what the effect is without comparison. The two or three acres of vegetable land at home, roughly calculated, turned out to be more vegetables than other people's seven or eight acres of land. Not to mention, the yield of sweet potatoes in autumn is three times that of the two dogs next door, a full triple!!

Yu Hai once observed the whole process of his youngest daughter's preparation of "fertilizer", but it was just a drop of water from a small bottle into a bucket. He also quietly licked it with his tongue, which was no different from the water he usually drank. But isn't it strange that such an ordinary water has shown such a great effect?

I remembered that my youngest daughter once said that when her soul visited the underworld, she had met immortals. Is it really the result of the ignition of the gods? Giving her the magical ability to turn ordinary water into fertilizer for plant growth? Yu Hai thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to reveal a word, for fear that some well-intentioned people would listen to him and treat his favorite little daughter as a monster!

Since then, in order to help his youngest daughter cover, he has dug a large manure pit at the foot of the back mountain, and collected the manure of the family's livestock, human excrement, and fertilizer from the dead leaves in the mountain. When it comes to the season of top dressing, it will be taken out to cover up.

The people in the village saw that the crops and vegetables of the Yu family were growing well, and they all praised Yu Hai for his diligence and ability, and his manure chased enough...... None of them were suspicious of Xiaocao.

Aunt Xiaocao's family lived in the town for a few days. Liu Hu's health was just a little better, so the family hurriedly packed up and returned to Dongshan Village with Yu Hai. In their opinion, although it is convenient to live in the town, it costs money to move. In the countryside, wild vegetables can be found everywhere, and you have to spend money to buy them in the town. At present, their food and housing are all borne by the younger brother, and she, who is an older sister, is not able to take care of her younger brother, not to mention, and always asks her younger brother to supplement herself. Do you think she'll be able to live in town in peace?

Fortunately, Liu Hu's body recovered very quickly, and he ate rice and noodles from time to time, and chicken, fish, and meat were offered from time to time, and the family's food was like the New Year. The three children saw that they had gained weight, their faces were also rosy, and even their personalities were a lot more lively. Yu Caifeng also felt that her body was healthier than before she fled.

As soon as his man could walk on the ground, Yu Caifeng packed up his few luggage, took his brother's carriage, and returned to Dongshan Village.

After Yu Caifeng got married, she only came back once. More than ten years have passed since I left Dongshan Village, and when I saw the old elm tree at the entrance of the village again, I really felt a little timid. smoothed the cotton clothes and pants that the little brother bought, and squeezed out a smile at those unfamiliar or familiar faces in his memory.

"Yo! Isn't this the Caifeng of the old Yu family!! I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and the children are so old? "Under the old elm tree, there are a few old people who play chess and talk about the mountains. As soon as the village chief raised his eyes, he saw Yu Caifeng's family getting off the carriage, and was stunned and recognized her.

Yu Hai's uncle Yu Lichun heard this, hurriedly stood up, walked a few steps to this side, looked at Yu Caifeng carefully, the corners of his eyes were slightly moist, and he choked up: "It's Caifeng, it's really Caifeng's child!" I've lost a lot of weight, and I've suffered a lot along the way, right? ”

"Village chief, uncle......" Yu Caifeng burst into tears, not knowing whether to think of the fate that he couldn't control before, or the joy of reuniting with the old people.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back!!" Yu Lichun wiped the corners of his eyes with his cuffs, and said with a smile, "Your father has been talking about you in the Northeast since he heard about the drought in the Northeast last year. You kid is also a stubborn, why don't you come back sooner, you have suffered a lot, right? ”

Yu Hai hurriedly interrupted: "Village chief, uncle, my sister is a newcomer, let her go back and settle down first." ”

"Go, go!" The village chief waved his hand to them, but Yu Lichun followed them all the way to the Yu family's old house.

Follow the path in your memory and go all the way in the direction of the old house. Although he was prepared in his heart, when he saw the blue brick house and the elegant stone yard, Yu Caifeng's heart was still shocked - his younger brother is really developed, except for the village chief's house, he really can't find such a stylish house!

As soon as you enter the door, the vegetables that thrive in the sunlight are so green that your eyes are close. Among the women who helped pick vegetables, several of them were Yu Caifeng's best friends when she was young, so she was naturally very broad.

Yu Caifeng settled down in the courtyard of the two rooms next to her in such a daze, and it wasn't until a long time later that she realized that this was not a dream. The three brothers and sisters of the Liu family thought that the house in the countryside would be similar to what they lived in the Northeast, but they didn't expect it to be more magnificent than the house in the town.

Although there are only two main houses, the yard is big enough, and there are wing rooms on the east and west sides, which is definitely more than enough for a family of five. The three brothers and sisters shared a room each, and they were so happy that they didn't know what to do with their own rooms!

Before they could be happy, Liu Hu gathered the children that night and solemnly admonished them: "Children, you must remember that we are only temporarily staying at your uncle's house. When my father's health is better, I will find the village chief to see if I can approve a piece of land to come down, build two grass houses, and move over! It's not like living at your uncle's house! ”

Liu Junping nodded sensibly and said, "I heard that it is very easy to find work on the dock now, and the salary is high, so I will go to the dock tomorrow." ”

Liu Yan'er bit her lip and said softly: "I can also embroider purses to make money......

Liu Fangping, who was only six years old, opened his mouth, but lowered his head and said glutinously: "I...... What should I do if I can't make money? ”

Liu Yan'er comforted him empathetically: "You can help with household chores, such as collecting firewood, lighting a fire or something." In the future, our family will definitely raise chickens and pigs, you can help feed the chickens and pigs! ”

Xiao Fangping immediately became happy, nodded again and again, and said, "Mmmm! Xiaoping can help catch insects and feed the chickens, and the chickens can be sold for money when they grow up and lay eggs! ”

Looking at the sensible and obedient children, Yu Caifeng held them in her arms, her heart was sour and proud.

Hearing that Liu Junping was going to the dock to find work, Yu Hai glanced at the little guy's ungrown body and thin arms, thought about it, and said, "Our watermelon is about to ripen, and it will definitely not be busy when the time comes." How about Junping stay and help his uncle? ”

Now the Liu family's family of five eats and lives in the Yu family, so they will naturally not shirk if they can help. Liu Hu, who had just recovered, Yu Caifeng, who couldn't stay idle, and Liu Fangping, who thought he was an adult, went with Yu Hai to help when he went to the field every morning. Several people are good at labor, and more than a dozen acres of land are watered, fertilized, and weededed, and they are quickly cleaned up.

It is worth mentioning that Wang Ergou, this guy, has been much more diligent than before since his son was born. He planted watermelons for Yu Hai on land rent, and he treated the melon fields more attentively than he used to grow sweet potatoes at home, and he had to come to see them several times a day.

Seeing the watermelon grow from a small one day by day, he seemed to see a silver ingot flying towards him, as if he saw that his own house had also been built with a blue brick house, and his son had grown up and gone to school......
