Haizhu took out two longevity locks and put them on the swaddling clothes, and said, "The two little girls should grow up safely, be happy, be healthy, and live a long life." ”

The child is too young to withstand the pressure of the gold and silver pendant, and there are five pairs of gold bracelets and a longevity lock on the swaddling side.

Shen Sui went out to receive guests, Haizhu sat on the edge of the bed to talk to Yao Qingman, the woman lying on the bed had a blue complexion, bloodless lips, blue and black under her eyes, and on a hot day, her body was covered with a finger-thick quilt, which was tightly covered, and her head was wrapped in a turban, and her forehead was all wrapped in it.

"I heard Han Ji say, you have suffered a great sin and suffered a lot." Haizhu took her hand, covered with a thick quilt, her hand was still cold, and she asked softly, "Is there a doctor who comes to check the pulse every day?" You have to take care of it now, and if you don't feel well, send your mother-in-law to call the doctor. ”

"Yes, doctors come every day." Yao Qingman squeezed Haizhu's hand and said gratefully: "The night I gave birth, thanks to the presence of the young general, he invited the doctor and sent the old ginseng, and also kicked Shen Sui to come in to accompany me, if it wasn't for him to support me outside, the three of us would have died a long time ago." I couldn't go out during confinement, and the major general couldn't come in, so I never had a chance to thank him. ”

"It's going to be a long time in the future, it's not too late to thank you when you're out of confinement, don't worry." Haizhu said.

Yao Qingman nodded, she looked at Haizhu and stopped, hesitated for a long time before smiling, and said: "I don't know what to say, some people have children easily, some people lose their lives when they have children, I am worried when I see you, I hope that the pain will not have anything to do with you, don't suffer from my sin." ”

Haizhu bowed her head, she couldn't say that she wouldn't give birth, she could only smile wordlessly.

"Haizhu?" A childish voice sounded outside the window.

"Your brother is here too?" Yao Qingman asked when he heard this.

"It's a parrot." Haizhu opened the door and went out, and after a while, she came in with a bird, and she saw that Yao Qingman's mood was relatively low, so it was good to let the parrot come over to tease her.

The parrot came in and looked around, and when it saw the child in the cradle, it was shocked.

"Xingzhu was like this when I was a child, and I grew up like this." Haizhu held it away from the child, and said, "What are you surprised about?" Your birds are born as eggs, and their hatchlings are not hairless. ”

The parrot ignored her, it stared at the person on the bed, the bird's sense of smell was developed, it could smell blood and deeper tastes, the person on the bed was extremely weak, and it stood obediently on the back of the chair and watched by her.

"Can you speak?" Yao Qingman was curious.

"What's your name?" The parrot muttered quietly, and in an instant opened its beak to learn the cat's meow: "Meow-", and then learned to meow, and all kinds of birds, and even imitated the sound of waves and wind.

"Madame, sing you a song." The parrot made a tune, and the singer who was learning to sing spoke with one paw, half-squinted, and opened his voice softly.

Yao Qingman was shocked and excited, she looked at the birds and Haizhu, there are still talking birds in the world? Birds can talk? Can you learn how to bark a cat or a dog?

Haizhu also knew that parrots can also bark cats and dogs, and this bird is very pitiful and amusing.

The child in the cradle was woken up, and a weak cry came out of his mouth, and the parrot looked at it before anyone could find it, and it stared at it with wide eyes and dumbfounded.

Haizhu went out to call someone, the nurse came in, she sat in the house to feed, Haizhu went out with the parrot, and the moment she opened the door, she smelled the fresh air, and the blocked nose was ventilated.

"Haizhu, come and sit and drink some tea." Shen's second sister-in-law greeted.

Haizhu nodded, she went over to Shen Sui and said, "Qingman's house is too stuffy, you can open the window to ventilate when it is hottest at noon, cover people with a sheet when you open the window, and close the door and window when the smell is gone." The smell of blood in the house dissipated, and she felt better lying in the house. ”

"Can you open the window?" Shen Sui was not sure, "I'll ask my mother and my sister-in-law." ”

"When my third aunt was confined, she opened the window every day at noon to disperse the smell, and your family has a mother-in-law and a nurse, so if you don't know, ask them more." Haizhu stopped him, and asked his mother and sister-in-law about a very simple matter, and he had to pull out a lot of things. She continued: "No matter how bad it is, you ask the doctor, doesn't the doctor come every day? You ask more carefully, ask more questions and don't suffer, don't think about things when something is wrong. Just like before, if you call a doctor when Qingman starts, how can she suffer such a big sin. ”

Shen Sui hung his head when he was trained, and he nodded and said, "You're right, I don't have a long memory after eating a lesson." ”

"Haizhu, what are you talking about?" Mother Shen saw that something was wrong, so she walked over and asked.

"Phew." The parrot standing at the head of the wall suddenly spoke.

The people in the courtyard looked over, and it raised its neck and snorted again.

"Come here." Haizhu beckoned, she turned to look at Shen's mother sideways, and said: "I'm teaching him how to serve women in confinement, there is no elder Zhang Luo in the family, Shen Sui is running around without a head, he is in a hurry, Qingman and the two children are also guilty." ”

Shen's mother's face trembled, and because of Haizhu's identity, she forced a laugh and said: "There is a mother-in-law and a nurse at home, three meals a day are delicious and delicious, and the body will recover after confinement, you have never given birth, and you don't know in this regard." ”

"Mother, don't interrupt us when we talk." Shen Sui spoke, he frowned and said: "I don't know how to learn, you don't want to worry about it, just give money, as for what happens on our side, don't interfere." ”

The smile on Shen's mother's face couldn't hold back, she was embarrassed by her son, or in front of several daughters-in-law, she directly turned cold.

"Mother, Xiaoliu is filial, if you don't want to worry about it, don't worry about it." Shen Huai spoke out to relieve the siege, and he followed Shen Sui's words and asked, "Is it tight on hand?" Second brother get you some? ”

Before Shen Sui got married, he often took money to eat and drink from his four brothers, he was thick-skinned and didn't feel ashamed to take money from his family, not to mention that the four brothers ate and drank at home and lived with their fathers and mothers. He nodded and said: "The two children are weak, they need to be supported by medicine, and Qingman's body also needs to be warmed, my daily life is okay, and I am a little poor when I have children, Dad, you give me some silver." ”

"Okay, I'll get it for you later, and I'll prepare it when I come." Father Shen spoke.

Shen Mu snorted coldly, "I thought you would have a lot of backbone." ”

Shen Sui looked at her in surprise, and he asked rhetorically, "Why am I spineless?" I borrowed money to buy this house, and the debt was paid, and I either didn't have any money in my hand, or I was a little tighter, and then I stretched out my hand to you. There is such a big thing going on in my family, you are the child's grandmother, and you are indifferent when you see my two poor children? ”

"That's not what my mother meant, she said the wrong thing." Shen Huai pulled it, he untied the money bag on his waist and stuffed it to Shen Sui, and said: "This is the heart of my second sister-in-law and your two nieces, you take it, your family is helpless here, and you can only take care of your younger siblings and two children, and you will be angry when the money is tight." ”

Shen Sui held the money bag and didn't move, and after a while, he said in a dumb voice: "Thank you, second brother, I'll pay you back when I get relieved, two years at most." ”

"My own brother, I won't pay it back if you say anything." Shen Huai patted him on the shoulder and said, "Mother is this character, don't worry about her." ”

Shen Sui insisted that he should pay it back, he knew the situation at home, the family was rich, but the money was in the hands of the two old men, the four brothers had no serious business, and the money was not enough, so they all relied on the father and mother to make up for it.

"My brother will settle the account, and I will pay you back when I have money." He spoke jerky, and at this moment he suddenly realized that if he wanted to be free from shackles and anger, he could only rely on himself.

Haizhu stood aside and watched coldly, Shen Sui is the youngest in the family, and he has been spoiled since he was a child, so he knows nothing about human affairs, if he marries a daughter-in-law who his mother likes, this life will pass in chaos. He is still his father's favorite youngest son, he is favored, he is short of money and uses tricks to say nice things, and the money is in hand, and he doesn't need to worry about the affairs of the family, just like his four brothers.

The parrot tilted its head to watch, and it muttered a few meaningless sounds in its throat, and when it moved, it flew down the wall and said, "Haizhu, go back." ”

"Do you want to go back? You know the way, fly back by yourself, and find the maid in the house to bring you food. "Haizhu sat down and drank water.

The parrot was reluctant, and it landed on her lap, and a child came to touch it, and it spread its wings and made a gesture to fight.

"It's bad-tempered, don't touch it." Hae-joo stopped the child's hand.

The child retracted his hand and took a loquat from the plate and asked the parrot if it would eat, "If you sing another song, I will give it to you." ”

The parrot turned its head away from him.

Haizhu fed it a cup of water, and talked to Shen Sui's sisters-in-law. Shen Sui also put away his stinky face, a colleague came, he asked his brother to take someone to the restaurant, and his eldest brother and third brother were there to entertain guests.

Shen Sui's eldest brother's son insisted on feeding the parrot, but Haizhu stopped his hand again, grabbed the parrot in his hand and threw it, and the parrot flew to the eaves and squatted.

The children came over and stood under the eaves and stared up, and they were shouting to the birds to come down, making the babies in the house cry.

The parrot is also annoyed, and it pouts and poops down.

The boy with bird droppings on his head cried angrily, and the parrot stood on the beams of the house and laughed.

"Ignore this strange bird and stay away from it." Mother Shen glared at the bird in annoyance, people couldn't afford to provoke it, she took the bird and said, "It's weird, it's really like you're a baby." ”

"You're weird!" The parrot understood, and it wanted to fly down to hit people again, but remembering what happened last night, it flew to Haizhu's shoulder to complain.

"You're a baby, not a strange bird, and it's hard to buy." Haizhu coaxed it, what a child.

The parrot was still not happy, staring at Mother Shen for a long time, her little eyes dripping.

On the third pole of the day, Han Ji came back from the barracks, he went back to change his clothes before going to Shen Sui's house, and as soon as he walked in the door, the parrot came up and landed on his shoulder.

"She called me a weird bird." It raised its wings and complained.

The room was silent, Shen's mother's face was like fire, she couldn't wait to roast this bird that could speak, and explained apologetically: "If you coax the child, I talked nonsense." ”

Han Ji flicked the bird's beak and said, "You are not a strange bird, she has never seen a talking bird." ”

"Short-sighted." The parrot scolded triumphantly.

Haizhu covered her face, where did you hear this? She turned around and said, "Let's go back and teach it well, if a bird doesn't know where to learn, don't take it to heart." ”

Mother Shen smiled weakly, how dare she say anything, she was unlucky today, no one or no one could embarrass her.

Chapter 209: Parrots are raised as children

Han Ji took out a slender wooden box from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Sui, said an auspicious word, and then asked, "Are you going to the restaurant?" ”

Shen Sui nodded, and waited for him to come, and everyone else arrived.

"Did you take the little guy with you? Have the parrot go back. Haizhu said that she was worried that when the bird went to the restaurant, it would attract a group of curious children.

"The bird doesn't come back." The parrot jumped on Han Ji's other shoulder, far away from Haizhu, and when it touched his side face, it suddenly remembered that it had beaten him last night, and it quickly fled with a weak heart, and flew to the wall to stand.

Han Ji grabbed the air, he glanced at Haizhu and smiled helplessly.

"Take it with you, you are in the private room at noon, and you don't let it out." Shen then spoke.

"Shall we go then?" Shen Huai took the lead and walked in front to lead the way, "Major General, please." And towards the sea pearl also than gestures.

Han Ji walked in front of Haizhu, the parrot flew left and right, Haizhu stretched out his hand to it as if he didn't see it, it didn't worry about her.

"Colored birds, mother, look, colored birds." A little girl came out of the yard and stood with her head up in the doorway staring at the birds.

The old man who had returned from grocery shopping avoided the side of the road to make way, squinting at the birds with extremely colorful feathers.

"Don't speak." Haizhu admonished.

The parrot croaked and closed its beak tightly.

Walking to the most lively street market on the island, turning the corner is the restaurant, Han Ji beckoned to the sky and said, "Come down, fall on my shoulder." ”

His voice was implied to be threatening, and the parrot did not dare to be fierce again, it obediently retracted its wings and flew down, squatting on its slippery clothes and following the person into the restaurant.

The generals sitting in the lobby stood up one after another to salute, and watched curiously and shocked as the young general came in with a bird.

"No courtesy." Han Ji spoke gently and said, "Today, to celebrate Shen Shen's victory, everyone eats and drinks well, and they don't pay attention to these false courtesies." ”

With that, he climbed the stairs and took Haizhu to the private room upstairs. The parrot squatting on his shoulder turned his head to look at the people sitting in the lobby, and glanced at Shen's mother walking behind, it snorted angrily and quickly turned the bird's head.

Shen's mother secretly hated, but she could only pretend that she didn't hear it.

Upstairs, a private room was separated by a screen, and the two doctors and the midwife had already arrived, so Shen asked his mother to lead a nest of children to a table, and the others to sit at another table. If it was before, Shen's mother was unwilling, but just now she made a fool of herself, and she couldn't wait to stay away from Han Ji and Haizhu.

"The bird is thirsty." The parrot landed on the back of the chair and shouted.

Haizhu took a teapot and looked at it, there was tea in it, she went out and called Xiao Er to send a pot of water, and when she entered the door, she caught a glimpse of hand washing water on the basin rack behind the door, she walked over and brought a parrot over, put it in the basin to wash its paws and cool down.

Xiao Er brought the kettle over, and Haizhu picked up the parrot and wiped its paws with a handkerchief, saying, "Change the basin and send it." ”

Xiao Er turned around and went out with a basin of water.

Han Ji moved a square stool and put it in the corner of the wall, poured a bowl of water and put it on the stool for the bird to drink, and asked it if it was hungry.

"It hasn't stopped talking all morning, and it's probably not hungry." Haizhu said.

"It's like you're raising a child, washing its paws and feeding it water, and you're worried about whether it's hungry." Shen then opened his mouth to joke.

"Nonsense." Shen's father reprimanded him, "It's just a bird, it's no different from a cat or a dog, and it's not a child." ”

The speaker had no intention of listening, Haizhu glanced at the parrot, as far as she knew, the lifespan of the parrot was decades, and it could indeed be raised as a child, and when she and Han Ji were old, the parrot would also be old, and they would be buried together. What makes her most excited is that the parrot has been a child mentality until she is old, a child who does not grow up, childish and quirky every day, is much more fun than raising a child.

The parrot quenched its thirst, it raised its beak and leaned over, motioned for Haizhu to wipe the water for it, and met her eyes, and it asked in a daze, "What are you looking at?" ”

"Look good-looking." After wiping the bird's beak, Haizhu wiped its hair with a wet handkerchief, and finally folded the handkerchief and put it on the ground, whispering: "and pull the handkerchief, quietly, don't be disgusting." ”
