Hearing Lu Zhengan's words, Song Huaishu remembered that tomorrow was his daughter's full moon banquet.

Putting Lu Xingyi on Lu Zhengan's chest, Song Huaishu turned around and came to the wardrobe, and took out a small red jacket from it. "Tomorrow is a big day for girls, so naturally you have to dress a little more festively. Look, how about this red set? ”

Previously unaware of the child's gender, Song Lan prepared a few more colors when preparing the child's clothes. Lu Zhengan looked at the big red set in Song Huaishu's hand, with a string of pink peach blossoms embroidered on his chest, and the edges of the petals of each peach blossom were edged with golden silk threads.

"Mother's embroidery is so good, this peach blossom embroidery is just like the real thing."

Listening to Lu Zhengan's praise, Song Huaishu couldn't help but smile and nod his head in response. "Two days ago, I came to bring two sets of thick cotton clothes for winter wear, and I also made a rabbit fur cape. You say, "Little children, how can they wear so many clothes?" And children grow up fast, and they can't wear it after wearing it a few times, and it's a pity that you say you lost it. ”

Lu Zhengan watched Song Huaishu put the clothes on the table beside him, patted the bed, and motioned him to go to bed quickly. After Song Huaishu lay down, he stretched out his head and blew out the candle that was specially moved to the side of the bed.

Lu Xingyi fell asleep with his fist raised not long after being put on the bed by Song Huaishu, Lu Zhengan turned the little girl to his side and reached out to hold Song Huaishu in his arms.

Since Song Huaishu gave birth to Lu Xingyi, Lu Zhengan took care of his daughter, and at the same time, Song Huaishu was worried that he hadn't taken a bath for a long time, and he didn't dare to let Lu Zhengan get too close to him, so the two had not been close for a long time.

At this time, Lu Zhengan grabbed Song Huaishu's still thin body, lowered his head and pecked on the top of his hair.

"Huaishu, thank you for giving birth to such a big fat girl, thank you for being safe and sound."

When Song Huaishu heard Lu Zheng'an's words, he stretched out his hand to hug Lu Zhengan's waist, and also looked up at him and smiled: "Thank you for taking such good care of me and my daughter, and thank you for never disliking me." ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhengan reached out and pinched Song Huaishu's nose, took the person in his arms as if hugging Lu Xingyi, and gently patted Song Huaishu's shoulder and slowly coaxed him to sleep.

At the end of the Yin period, Lu Zhengan moved his daughter to Song Huaishu and quietly got up.

Because it was already autumn, the sky was much later than before. Lu Zhengan carried the bucket to the back stream and filled the water tank at home.

When Lu Zheng'an made his third trip back to and from the stream, Mama Zhang, Mama Qin, and Mama Fu all got up.

After a hasty wash, Mama Zhang asked the two of them to go to the barn to bring out all the eggs that had been sent by the villagers.

After washing it in a wooden basin, I went outside the door and boiled it in the big pot where I had made dried peaches. The other pot was filled with a pot of water, and when it was boiling, a few catties of brown sugar were added to the pot, and when the guests or villagers who came to help arrived, they could quench their thirst.

At Lu Xingyi's full moon banquet this time, the master in charge of the spoon is still Master Zhao of Qingfeng Building. Knowing that Lu Zhengan was generous, when Lu Zhengan came to invite him, he agreed without hesitation. In the middle of the day, he took his fellow and two apprentices to Lu Zheng'an's small courtyard.

When Lu Zheng'an carried a pig out of the barn, Master Zhao was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but smile and said, "Little brother, this is really generous, when the contract was signed before, the banquet was rare to see in ten miles and eight villages." Now that the child is holding a full moon banquet, he has bought a whole pig, and you are really willing to do it. ”

"There is only one full moon banquet in the child's life, so naturally it has to be grander. It is estimated that there will be a lot of folks here today, thank you for your hard work, Master Zhao. ”

Although Master Zhao couldn't understand why the Lu family attached so much importance to a child who had been 'raised', since he had taken other people's money, he naturally wanted to do a good job for the master's family. Hearing what Lu Zhengan said, he immediately responded and beckoned the apprentice to work.

Just when Master Zhao was taking two apprentices to deal with the white pig, Lu Changgen and Lu Yang also came over dressed in new clothes, and at the same time, Lu Yingchun, who had not woken up, was beside him.

Looking at the few villagers who had already arrived in the courtyard to help, Lu Changgen asked, "Are everything ready?" Is there anything else to do? ”

"It's nothing, I just have to ask Aunt Changgen to help me see how the eggs are colored, I haven't done this, I'm afraid that I won't be able to dye it and ruin a pot of eggs."

Hearing this, Lu Yang immediately nodded. "Okay, you don't have to worry about this, just go and do your job."

When Lu Yang finished speaking, the cry of a baby suddenly came from inside the house. When Lu Zhengan heard this, he immediately looked behind him. smiled at Lu Changgen and Lu Yang: "It's a coincidence, my daughter woke up." ”

As soon as he heard that Lu Xingyi had woken up, Lu Yingchun, who had been dozing off, suddenly woke up. Staring at a pair of big round eyes, he asked, "Brother Zheng'an, can I go in and see my little niece?" ”

"Of course."

With Lu Zhengan's permission, Lu Yingchun suddenly became happy. When he turned around, he wanted to pull Lu Yang's family, but she refused.

Although Song Huaishu can give birth to children, no matter how he looks at it, he is still a man, and although Lu Yang is an elder, it is not too suitable for him to enter Lu Zheng'an and Song Huaishu's bedroom so rashly.

"I'll go boil red eggs, you go with your brother Zheng'an to see Niuniu." After that, Lu Yang was worried that Lu Yingchun would hurt Lu Xingyi, so he hurriedly instructed again: "I warn you, Niuniu is still young, you must be a little more careful when you play with her." ”

"Know, know." Lu Yingchun said, and jumped into the house behind Lu Zhengan.

By the time the two of them opened the door, Song Huaishu had already helped Lu Xingyi change into a dry urine ring, and was putting the big red thin jacket from last night on her body.

It's just that Lu Xingyi has just been full moon, and Lu Zheng'an wore her daughter's clothes before. Right now, Song Huaishu landed on Lu Xingyi's small body, and the soft bones of his legs made his nervous forehead sweat for a while.

Looking back at Lu Zheng'an leading Lu Yingchun over, Song Huaishu immediately breathed a sigh of relief as if he had seen a savior.

"You come and dress your daughter, she has soft arms and legs, I am always worried that I will hurt her with too much strength."

Hearing this, Lu Zhengan couldn't help but laugh. I went to the wooden basin behind the door and washed my hands, and after rubbing my palms warm, I walked to the bed. "Look at the sweat that makes you embarrassed, I'll come."

With that, Lu Zhengan grabbed Lu Xingyi's right leg and stuffed her into the trouser tube of the cotton coat, and in a few strokes, he put the clothes on Lu Xingyi.

Lu Xingyi, who was originally pouting, screamed twice after seeing Lu Zhengan, and then pouted and played by himself again.

Lu Zhengan looked at his daughter's well-behaved appearance, and couldn't help but take a sip of incense on her forehead. After calculating the time, he knew that Lu Xingyi should be hungry, and after beckoning Lu Yingchun to help watch his baby daughter, he went outside to give Lu Xingyi warm goat's milk.

Since Lu Xingyi landed, Lu Yang's family knew that Lu Yingchun was careless, and did not dare to bring her to Lu Zheng's home. The last time I came, Lu Xingyi had only been red all over his body for three days, and Lu Yingchun's reaction at that time was exactly the same as Lu Zhengan's.

Later, when he heard the adults say that it would be good when the little niece grew up, Lu Yingchun began to look forward to it. It's just that Lu Yang was afraid that she would be unstable and seriously hurt Lu Xingyi, so he refused to bring her here.

Looking at the red jacket on the bed like a fat doll in a New Year's painting, Lu Yingchun felt that there was no second one in the entire Lujia Village who had such a beautiful baby as her niece.

"Brother Song, is Niuniu still unable to eat candy?"

Hearing Lu Yingchun's words, Song Huaishu reached out and touched her head. "Yes, she can only drink goat's milk now, and she will only eat sugar when she grows up."

After receiving the answer, Lu Yingchun nodded immediately. "My dad just bought me maltose yesterday, and I wanted to give it to Niuniu. Since she doesn't know how to eat yet, I'll keep it for her and give it to her when she can eat it. ”

After Lu Yingchun finished speaking, Lu Zhengan also walked in with a small bowl of goat's milk. Looking at Lu Yingchun, who was obediently lying beside Lu Xingyi, he couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart.

Asked Song Huaishu to pick up the child, Lu Zhengan dripped the goat's milk in the spoon onto the back of his hand, and only after feeling that it was not hot did he feed it to Lu Xingyi's mouth. Looking at the sweet appearance of his daughter's food, the corners of Lu Zhengan's mouth couldn't help but hook.

After Lu Xingyi had eaten and drunk enough, he lay on the bed and played for a while, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Outside, Master Zhao had already begun to oil today's meat and vegetables, and the tempting fragrance wafted throughout the Lu family's small courtyard, and everyone stretched their necks to look inside.

And Song Huaishu's mother's family sent porridge and rice at the end of the hour, because Song Huaishu had no brothers and sisters, and the only people who came to deliver porridge and rice were the old couple of the Song family.

It's just that although there are few people from the Song family, there are many things. In addition to two large baskets of eggs, a mule cart also put two large baskets of white flour, brown sugar, rice, flower cloth and children's clothes and hats, and the whole mule cart was stuffed to the brim.

The onlookers looked at the Song family's generosity and couldn't help but secretly sigh. Looking at the cart full of things, I estimated that there were not ten taels of silver that I could not buy.

Just when everyone was sighing at the generosity of the Song family, two more carriages came on the mountain road. In addition to cribs and strollers, there were also a number of intricately crafted wooden toys, many of which were never seen before.

The knowledgeable people in the crowd looked at these objects on the car and knew that they were using fine rosewood, and the person who gave the full moon gift knew that it was the rich relative of Lu Zheng'an's family.

Lu Zheng'an, who originally learned that the two elders of the Song family were coming, went out with Mrs. Ji to greet him. However, when he saw the two carriages following the Song family's mule cart, Lu Zhengan didn't have to think about it to know that Ji Yuexian was coming.

Old Madam Ji couldn't help but sink a little as she glanced at the carriage that followed the Song family's car. Then, he turned to Mama Zhang and whispered, "Go, get that peacock out of the car for me!" ”

Chapter 90

By the time the full moon banquet began, Lu Xingyi also woke up. When it was time to put the whip, Lu Zhengan was still worried that it would scare his daughter, so he asked Lu Tiezhuo, who lit the incense, to put the whip farther away.

However, after the whip really burned, Lu Xingyi's big eyes widened. Don't say scared, look at the door excitedly and scream.

Song Lanshi hugged Lu Xingyi and looked at her expression and couldn't help but laugh, stretched out her hand and nodded her little nose, and scolded with a smile: "This little girl is really bold, if she can walk, she can jump, maybe she will run out to watch the excitement at this time." ”

Mrs. Ji looked at Lu Xingyi and laughed heartily. "It's good to be bold, no matter what occasion we encounter in the future, we won't have stage fright."

Ji Yuexian looked at Lu Xingyi, who had changed from a few days ago, and stood aside with his eyes blank, feeling as if he had been scratched by a cat.

I wanted to reach out and touch Lu Xingyi's white and tender little face, but as soon as I stretched out my hand, I was slapped aside by Mrs. Ji.

"I haven't washed my hands and greeted the girl in the face, you can't do something if you want you to do something, what's the use of asking you to come?!"

Hearing Mrs. Ji's reprimand, Ji Yuexian couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved. "Look at what Grandmother said, I didn't do anything about what you explained. You look at the toy, the bed, the car, none of them that I picked carefully. There are also children's clothes and materials, and the whole Linzhou is estimated to find such a good one. ”

"Cars, beds, toys and so on are still needed, and they are in the mountains all year round, what are you doing with all these bells and whistles? Besides, it's coming, what are you doing with all this fanfare? ”

Ji Yuexian also knew that she shouldn't follow Song Huaishu's mother's back, so it was rare that she didn't reply to the old lady's scolding. Looking at the old lady's face, he quietly touched Lu Xingyi's little hand without saying a word.

Seeing this, Mama Zhang hurriedly stretched out her hand and pulled the sleeve of Mrs. Ji's shirt, and persuaded in a low voice: "Today is the full moon banquet of the little lady, you will be angry when you are old." The young master is still young, and after this incident, he will know, so you should not lose your temper again. ”

Mama Zhang came forward to plead, Mrs. Ji's face was a little pale, she glanced at Empress Ji Yuexian, and hurriedly sat down Song Lan, who was holding Lu Xingyi.

At this time, Lu Zheng'an and Song Huaishu, who had been sitting and eating outside the village, also entered the door, and the two of them were still wearing the blue wedding clothes they wore when they were married, and they looked very right.

"The folks outside have already made arrangements, so let's pull up the table in the house and prepare for the banquet, right?"

Song Huaishu came to Song Lan's side and bent down to take his daughter into his arms. Stretched out his hand and touched the little girl's fleshy little hand, and echoed on the side: "Yes, it's the end of the hour, and the elders should be hungry, let's start serving the food and eating." ”

With Ji Yuexian's help, Lu Zhengan packed up the table of eight immortals in the room and carried it to the middle of the hall. After setting up the chairs, he gestured to Lu Tieniu, who was waiting in the courtyard.

Afterwards, Lu Tieniu was heard shouting 'light flowers' outside, and a crackling firecracker sound immediately rang out. At the same time, the cousins of the Lu family lined up with a tray and waited in front of Master Zhao, who was in charge, and waited for him to put the dishes on the tray before going outside.

Although after the Baoshan, Lu Zhengan has no spare money in his hands. But for Lu Xingyi's full moon banquet, Lu Zhengan didn't want to be stingy. In addition to the four cold dishes, there are also six hot dishes, steamed chicken nuggets, steamed fish nuggets, sliver meat, and a lot of various dishes.

The people in Lujia Village, who were sitting outside, waited until the wine and food were served, and they only felt that the full moon banquet held by Lu Zheng'an's family was more sumptuous than their own New Year's Day. When the dishes were almost served, everyone stopped being polite, bowed their heads and began to eat violently.

After the banquet ended, the people in Lujia Village did not leave directly. spontaneously helped Lu Zhengan clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and at the same time, he also helped to sweep the venue in front of the door.

When Lu Yang was at the banquet, he took the boiled red eggs out of the pot and distributed them among the four members of his family. After the villagers were divided, there were still thirty or forty left in the pot, and then they used small bamboo baskets and baskets of ten baskets to keep for the Song family and the Ji family respectively.

When the matter in the courtyard was almost over, Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu sent people out of the door, and Mrs. Ji, Mama Zhang, who had already packed up their things, and the two stable women also came out of the house.

Everyone has lived in the Lu family for a long time, and they have already had feelings with Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu. At first glance, it is still a little uncomfortable to separate. Especially the little girl who was sleeping in Song Huaishu's arms, everyone not only watched her be born, but also watched her grow up to the present day by day, and just left like this, and they couldn't help but feel a little reluctant in their hearts.

Mrs. Ji held Lu Xingyi's little hand, looked at her tranquil sleeping face for a long time, and finally made up her mind, looked up at Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu, who were also a little reluctant, and said: "You promised me before, saying that you would take Niuniu to Jiang'an Town to see me during the New Year, and you have to talk and count." ”

Hearing this, Lu Zheng'an endured the reluctance in his heart, smiled at Mrs. Ji and said, "Don't worry, old lady, as long as the weather is good, I will definitely take Huaishu and Xingyi to see you." ”

After getting Lu Zhengan's words, Mrs. Ji nodded, and finally said to Ji Yuexian, 'Let's go', and got into the carriage with the support of the two. After sitting down in the carriage, he opened the curtain and looked at Lu Xingyi, who was wrapped, and waved his hand to Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu.

"It's windy outside, beware of the children, don't come out to send them."

Lu Zhengan felt that the mountain breeze outside was not small, so he hesitated for a moment and let Song Huaishu carry the child into the house. He sent the old lady straight to the mountain road, watched the two carriages of the Ji family disappear on the mountain road, and then turned around and went home.

Because Song Xiren drank some wine at the banquet and poured a bowl of sobering soup after sleeping for a while, most of the people were already sober. Sitting on a small bamboo chair in the courtyard, he was being counted down by Song Lan's family.

Hearing Lu Zheng'an's footsteps entering the door, Song Lan turned his head to look at him and asked, "Send Old Madam Ji away?" ”

"Well, let's go. As soon as my father woke up, it was better not to sit in the yard and blow the wind, so as not to catch the cold. ”

Hearing Lu Zheng'an's words, Song Lan's angry glared at Song Xiren. "Leave him alone, let him sit here. It's about to become a wine Mengzi, and I don't look at any occasion. ”

"Isn't it happy that we have a girl in our family, and I happened to sit with the Changgen brothers, so we didn't hold back and drank two more glasses." Song Xiren covered his still somewhat cloudy head and couldn't help but say.

Lu Yang, who was on the side, came out of the stove house, and when he heard Song Lan's words, he also persuaded on the side: "Old sister, let's say a few words, Brother Song, this is quite good." Look at my parents' roots, they haven't sobered up yet. It's a happy day, so let's drink two more glasses. ”

Seeing so many people persuading themselves, Song Lan's family couldn't say anything more. He brought a bowl of brown sugar water from the house and handed it to Song Xiren, asking him to take a few sips to moisten his throat.

After waiting for Song Xiren to finish drinking and handing the bowl back to her, Song Lan remembered that Lu Xingyi was already full moon, and it was time to move the confinement.

"According to the rules, after the full moon, you have to go to your grandmother's house. But tomorrow is the fourth day of August, and the days are not good on Thursday. Just wait until the sixth day of the eighth month, your father and I will come to pick up again, let Huaishu and Yaya live for six days, and you will come again on August 12. ”

Lu Zhengan didn't expect that after the child's full moon, there would be a saying of 'walking the full moon'. Hearing that Song Huaishu was going to take his daughter to live in the town for six days, Lu Zhengan was suddenly reluctant.

"What about six days? Can't you go back the same day? After Lu Zhengan finished speaking, he saw Lu Yang's funny face, and he also knew that what he said was really inappropriate, and after coughing embarrassedly, he hurriedly explained: "The main thing is that my daughter has been taken care of by me at night, and I am worried that she will be a little uncomfortable after changing to a new place." In case it was time to make a night of trouble, so noisy that my father and mother could not rest well. And if you go for a long time, you have to take the goat with you, and it is really inconvenient to move so many things around. ”
