In Daqian, whether it is an official eunuch or a poor farmer, there is a custom of holding three baptism ceremonies for newborns, that is, on the third day of birth, a bathing ceremony is held, and a group of relatives and friends gather to add good luck to the newborn, which means that the filth is gone, and disasters are eliminated.

The Chu family's Xiao Zhengzheng is naturally no exception, this morning, Chu, Shen family relatives and friends have boarded the Chu family's courtyard door, the women into the small couple of the house, to visit the novice mother and baby, the men are together in the hall to drink tea and chat, in the middle of the morning, just after the milk is sleepy Xiao Zhengzheng, was Shen Mother with the bed of the new Baifu was wrapped tightly, carried to the hall to a group of relatives and friends to watch.

Don't look at him as a little baby who was born only three days ago, but he followed his father's indifferent temperament with a ten, these two days are, whether he is hungry and sleepy or uncomfortable, he just hummed a few times, attracting adults to help him solve it and stopped abruptly, there is no other child crying and wailing, that is, now he can't sleep peacefully, and he has to be surrounded by a group of people to look at the situation, and he just cried a few times, and then saw that it seemed to be useless, so he let everyone go.

The babies that Shen's mother and Qian's children have taken care of are not few, but at this time they are still amazed, such a sensible little baby is really rare, even the cousin and grandma and others are really a sensible child who is not troublesome!

Only Shen Luzhu was secretly a little worried, and said in his heart that this child should not pick on his father's shortcomings and inherit them, and perfectly integrate her laziness with Chu Yi's few words?

After everyone teased Xiao Zhengzheng, the three baptism rites were just about to begin, and there was a large wooden basin on the round table in the hall, which was just mixed with hot water, because it was a cold winter, considering Xiao Zhengzheng's health problems, Shen's mother and the Qian family discussed and simplified the process, just wet the handkerchief with hot water, and then the elders of the two families gently wiped Xiao Zhengzheng in turn, and the handkerchief was turned around in everyone's hands, which was considered to have taken a bath for Xiao Zhengzheng.

Then all the water in the wooden basin is poured out, and the parents will put the potting gifts that have been prepared in the wooden basin, or a few pieces of money, or newly made clothes, hats, shoes and socks, whether they are expensive or not, it is the love of the elders for the newborn in the family.

After the ceremony, Zhengzheng, who had fallen asleep, was carried back to Shen Luzhu's side, and the relatives and friends who came to participate in the baptism ceremony would continue to stay at Chu's house and leave after lunch.

The four brothers of the Shen family took advantage of the fact that after the ceremony, there were no other female dependents in the Shen Lu bamboo house for the time being, and hurriedly came in to take a look at their sister and little nephew, Shen Chuanbai, as the eldest, was pushed out by the younger brothers to give gifts to their nephews.

"This is for the right, I didn't take it out when I first added the pot, I thought I would give it to you in private!"

Shen Chuanbai wrapped a silver longevity lock and a pair of small silver bracelets in the red cloth in his hand, which was the size of a baby's palm, and the carving was very exquisite, which was suitable for the newborn Xiao Zhengzheng to wear.

"What is the eldest brother doing, why are you still quietly stuffing things in private?"

Shen Chuanbai explained with a smile: "These are the four of us combined, pooled together the money and went to the silver store to fight, without using the money at home, it is regarded as a proper meeting gift from our uncle, and it is not a gift to add a pot, so it is naturally to be given in private."

Shen Songjie also said: "Sister, you don't know, the rich families in that town all give this kind of longevity lock to the children in the family, saying that they can live long and be rich, and others have it, of course we have to have it!"

Shen Luzhu was naturally grateful to the brothers: "Then I will thank the uncles for Zhengzheng!" But since you didn't use the money in the family, didn't you contribute all the money in your own hands, brother? It's enough to put a longevity lock, why do you have to put on a pair of silver bracelets, and you're not a little girl, where can you use these silver jewelry!"

Shen Changshan, who was squatting on the side of the kang and staring at Zheng Zheng, said: "Cousin, if the four of us are uncles, if we only have one longevity lock, wouldn't it be too picky, but we can't put on four longevity locks for Zhengzheng to wear, it is the second cousin who said, it can also be made into a silver bracelet."

Shen Song nodded, admitting with some pride that it was his idea: "That's right, the jewelry shop in that town does have a lot of silver jewelry specially for children, where are children's things divided into male dolls or female dolls, we are looking so good, and we are painting it that year."

Like a boy who scatters wealth, you see the boy painted in that year, not both men and women wear gold and silver. Luzhu, don't shirk it, what kind of politeness do you have with us, brother and sister!"

Shen Zeqi also persuaded: "Yes, cousin, this is the intention of a few of us, and besides, children's jewelry, even if it is made of silver, it doesn't need more silver, so you can accept it with peace of mind."

"Okay, thank you, eldest brother, second brother, cousin, and cousin! Rightly, my uncles have taken out all their private money to make jewelry for you, and you will have to honor your uncles when you grow up, you know?" After Shen Luzhu finished speaking, he also reached out and poked the sleeping little fleshy face.

After washing three times, Shen's mother continued to stay in the Chu family's old house, and the Qian family helped to serve Shen Luzhu in confinement, and Chu Yi, the two novice parents, also began to learn little by little to adapt to the life with a baby, fortunately, the child is not a troublesome character, hungry to eat, sleepy to sleep, when awake to open a pair of big eyes to look left and right, compared to other people's children, it is a lot better.

The days with the baby always pass quickly, in the blink of an eye, after fifteen, and out of the first month, our Zhengzheng children are about to be full moon, and the little couple in the bedroom of the Chu family also discussed the matter of full moon wine.

"On the eighth day of the new year, the full moon is approaching, and I will finally be able to go down to the ground, and I can take a bath, and I am happy to think about it!"

Chu Yi was sitting on the kang with his wife in his arms at the moment, teasing his son who was lying in the shaking bed, and when he heard this, he turned his head sideways and kissed Shen Luzhu's cheek: "I'm afraid it won't work, A-Niang said that the longer the confinement, your body will be able to recover better, let's sit for forty days, and it's not too late to come out of confinement, can Azhu endure it a little longer?"

When Shen Luzhu heard this, it was like suffering a thunderbolt from a sunny day, and his whole body was paralyzed into Chu Yi's arms, and he leaned his head on Chu Yi's arm and looked at him: "Chu Yi, you smell it, if you don't take a bath and wash your hair, I'm really going to stink, and I can still be hugged and wiped my body!"

Chu Yi looked at his wife, who seemed to be a little loveless, and coaxed: "How can there be, our Azhu is still fragrant and soft, if it is uncomfortable, I will wipe your hair after a while?"

In fact, Shen Luzhu really couldn't stand her oily hair in the past few days, and had already begged Chu Yi, taking advantage of Shen's mother and Qian's inattention, to scrub her with a hot cloth once, but Chu Yi only dared to wipe the ends of her hair, and she didn't dare to touch the place next to her scalp, although her scalp is still a little itchy now, maybe wiping the ends of her hair is better than nothing.

"Okay, then I'll put up with it for a few more days, but it's really uncomfortable!"

Helplessly, Chu Yi could only say something to divert his wife's attention: "Righteous full moon wine, Ah Zhu, have you thought about what to do?"

"Full moon wine?" It's no wonder that Shen Luzhu was surprised, the village generally only gives children a wash and three washes, and when they are a year old, they will give their children another week, but it is really rare to do full moon wine.

"Hmm!" Chu Yi nodded: "Not only the full moon, but also the catch week, and the future birthday."

Shen Luzhu seems to understand what Chu Yi means, they only plan to have Zhengzheng's child, Chu Yi naturally wants to give everything he can to Zhengzheng, hoping that he will have a happy childhood.

"Okay, originally I planned to wait for the full moon, let's go to Qizen Temple again to pray for blessings, after all, I worshiped the mother who sent the child, if I have to sit for forty days now, then I am not in a hurry, let's do a full moon bar for Zhengzheng!"

"Okay."

Full moon wine, as the name suggests, is on the day of the full moon of the newborn, the main family will hold a banquet in their own house, invite a group of relatives and friends and neighbors to come over to drink wine and eat meat, one is to return the three baptisms before, and the other is to celebrate that the baby successfully survived the most dangerous first month.

The young couple didn't have any worries about money, and Chu Yi also specially went to the town to invite the back kitchen of the restaurant to undertake it, which became a new topic of discussion in the village for a while.

There are many people who don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, and they even took the matter to Uncle Chu's house and said, "You don't know yet, your second granddaughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy to your old Chu family, that family

Not to mention that they are all happy, not to mention the washing three, but also the full moon wine, and it is said that they have to find a cook from the restaurant in the town to come back to cook!"

"What does his family like to do, what does it have to do with my family, gone!"

Uncle Chu's family learned how to be cautious this time, and they didn't dare to say anything in front of outsiders, but they turned around and went into their own yard, and how they lost their temper is a matter of later words.

On the day of the full moon wine, Lin Qiuyi, who had already moved to the east side of the Chu family's old house, also rushed over, and after the banquet, while everyone was leaving or cleaning up, he knocked on the door and entered Shen Luzhu's house.

"Miss Lin, I'm really sorry, I can't get out of this house now, we're glad you to come."

In the past month of resting in the mountain village, Lin Qiuyi has figured out a lot of things, although she is still wary of others, she is no longer like a frightened bird, and the whole person looks at it and when she was just rescued into the Chu family, there is a world of difference: "I am also very happy to participate in your son's full moon banquet."

Lin Qiuyi paused after speaking, and then said, "Luzhu, I'm leaving, I'll leave in a while."

"Go? Do you have plans for the future?"

Lin Qiuyi nodded: "Well, in fact, I still had some things before, and I didn't tell you the truth...... So I don't have any relatives and acquaintances here at all, but it doesn't matter, I've thought a lot about it for more than a month, and my family and that person won't find this place anyway, and I'm tired of running, and I don't want to live a day of hiding anymore, so I want to settle down, but I can't just count on these savings in my hand to sit and eat, just think about going to the county or town, do a small business within my ability, and live a peaceful life by myself in the future."

Lin Qiuyi's transformation is something that Shen Luzhu is very happy to see, people can't always live in the shadows of the past: "You can think so, I'm really happy for you, Miss Lin is already very powerful, braver than most people in this world!"

"It's just that my fate is up to me, I should be most glad that I met your family, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how many more days I could live, how could there be anything brave and not brave."

"Don't say that, your fate will be in your own hands in the future."

"Lend you good words!"
