The next day was Xiaoman.

Xiaoman is one of the 24 solar terms, and there is a saying that the Xiaoman River is full in the south, which means that it is about to enter the rainy season, and the rain begins to increase, and there will often be continuous and large-scale heavy precipitation.

But in the north, a small full means that the grains of the summer crops are beginning to fill full, but they are not yet ripe, but they are only small and not yet full.

In addition, there is very little rain in the north, but the temperature will start to rise quickly, and the temperature difference between the north and the south will narrow, and the hot summer will enter together.

From the night when the showers rain down to the early morning, the rain turns to light rain, but it is also dripping.

It was inconvenient to go out on a rainy day, and the vegetables in the field were not enough to take care of, so Gao Mingcheng rarely sat under the eaves and looked at the rain outside.

After the new rain in the empty mountains, the mist shrouded the mountains, and the sky and the earth were gray.

Gao Mingcheng rarely had time to sit so leisurely on weekdays, and at this time he sat on the small bench, and suddenly missed the recliner.

The recliner made of rattan is very comfortable and durable, and it is also very comfortable to decompress when you lie down for a while once in a while.

He wondered if he should buy one...... No, I'm going to buy two reclining chairs to come back.

Although it was raining and the work in the field could not be done, many beauties were not idle, she went to Dong Feixia's side early in the morning to help Dong Feixia take her apprentices, and the group began to make some shirts, trousers and skirts that have been more popular recently.

Many Meimei said that they planned to wait for the market day to take it to Junling first to see if anyone would be willing to buy it, or they could take it to the town and county to try it.

For these, Gao Mingcheng is naturally supportive.

After he was bored for a while, the rain gradually stopped, so he picked up an umbrella, and took a pot of tea oil and a bottle of honey, planning to go to Grandma's house.

They have a custom of giving points, that is, when someone in a relative's family is pregnant, they will send some money, or a small rooster or pork belly or something like that.

These are also called belly money.

After Gao Mingcheng learned that He Xiuman was pregnant yesterday, he planned to send points today, and he sent his own tea oil and bees, which are all good things, and there is no need to spend extra money to buy them.

He once heard that it is better for pregnant women to eat tea oil, because the taste of tea oil is light, not as strong as rapeseed oil, most pregnant women in the first three months, very tormented, can not smell the smell of cigarette oil, and can not eat anything.

He carried things, all the way to Grandma Xi's house, it was raining today, and their family of three was also resting at home, just walked into the courtyard gate, and heard the sound of the radio.

"Granny fine, tall and strong." Gao Mingcheng shouted as he walked into the hall.

After entering the hall, Gao Mingcheng handed the things in his hand to Gao Zhuang and said, "I'm here to give your wife points, you can put these away and let your wife make up for her body." ”

"Hey, thank you." Gao Zhuang hurriedly took the things.

Grandma Xi said: "Mingcheng, you are too polite, you couldn't have come to give points, but you ended up taking such a good thing...... Would you like to eat here at noon? Wait for Xiuman's mother's family and Zhuangzhuang's aunt's family to send off the points, and then have a meal together. ”

Gao Zhuang said: "I don't plan to wait for the rain, the weather is better, so I will go to Xiuman's mother's house and talk to my aunt's house, it will probably take next month to make a table of wine, if you catch up with the busy field, maybe you have to wait a little longer." ”

Relatives will go to the pregnant woman's home to give the pregnant woman points, and at the same time, the pregnant woman's family will also entertain the relatives with a table of good wine and good food, as for the specific time to send points, this time is very flexible, as long as the pregnant woman gives birth to a child, go through this custom again.

Gao Mingcheng sent it early, hoping that He Xiuman would eat tea oil and honey as soon as possible, which would be good for his body.

He Xiuman sat there, watching the three of them talk, and his heart was also infinitely emotional.

Before marrying into the family, He Xiuman probably knew Gao Mingcheng and his person, because this name appeared very frequently in Gao Zhuang's mouth.

After marrying into the family, she heard more about Gao Mingcheng from the mouths of Gao Zhuang and Grandma Xi, and knew that although Gao Mingcheng was not related to this family, he was also a member of this family.

And it's a big part!

Gao Mingcheng promised to eat here at noon, but when he was free, he decided to go to his parents' house.

Since the separation, he has rarely come to the door, only when something happens, or when his parents shout, he will come to the door.

Gao Mingcheng wanted to enter through the back door, but the back door was locked, so he had to go around to the front door.

Before I even entered the house, I heard the crying of a baby.

It is said that he sleeps in January and cries in February, and his eldest brother's son is prone to crying at this time.

Luo Xiaohua hugged her little grandson and coaxed, and kept saying good things in her mouth, which was completely different from her previous image of scolding people with her waist crossed.

Except for his mother and little nephew, no one else was at home.

"Mom, what about Dad and Mingwan?" Gao Mingcheng asked.

Luo Xiaohua glanced at him and said, "The cub cried all night yesterday, your eldest brother and sister-in-law didn't sleep well, give the child to me to watch, and he sleeps at home." As for your dad and the third child, they went to the reservoir to fish, and your sister-in-law's milk is not enough, so she wants to stew crucian carp soup for her to drink! ”

"Oh, your grandmother went to see Grandma Gaoliang, saying that she has been in poor health in the past two days, so several people who have a good relationship have gone to see her."

Speaking of Gao Liang's grandmother, Gao Mingcheng recalled for a moment before remembering that she was gone this winter.

Grandma Gao and she are good friends, and when they are uncomfortable with each other, they will come to visit, and elderly people like them are likely to see each other less.

"Ouch, the cub must be hungry, Mingcheng, you're here, you come and hug it, I'll make him milk powder." Luo Xiaohua handed the baby to Gao Mingcheng, and then hurriedly went to make milk powder.

A short time later, she came over with a glass bottle filled with warm milk.

This milk powder is from the milk powder factory of Red Star Farm. At this time, logistics is not developed, and many factories produce products that are supplied to the surrounding areas, and only the most famous ones will be sold across provinces.

At this time, the milk powder is not divided into one section, two sections, three sections and four stages like the infant milk powder of later generations, there are two kinds of infant milk powder and adult milk powder.

Luo Xiaohua took the child, adjusted his posture, and gently coaxed: "Come, cub eat milk." ”

She fed the child milk, but the feeding process was not smooth, and the baby, who was used to breastfeeding, was a little reluctant to drink both the bottle and the milk.

This made Luo Xiaohua anxious, coaxed and persuaded in a low voice, but the two-month-old baby didn't give face at all, not only did he not drink, but he also cried louder and louder.

In the end, Luo Xiaohua had no choice, and hurriedly said to Gao Mingcheng: "Second brother, what should you do, why should you go, I'll go to your sister-in-law with my cub!" Hey, this milk powder is so precious, I refuse to drink it! ”

Luo Xiaohua was reluctant to waste milk, so she took the bottle herself, drank all the milk in it with a gurgling, and then went to get the umbrella and walked in the direction of the eldest son's house with the child in her arms.

Gao Mingcheng witnessed her series of movements, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
