Mother Zhou and Mother Lin are willing to take Xiao Yiyi, and they can do it when they change diapers, but the child is hungry and has no choice but to wake up Xiaomeng.

Zhou Yunmeng is having a good day, as if the whole person has pressed the pause button, there is no need to think about writing essays, and he can enjoy this rare rest and extremely warm life with peace of mind.

Only some taboos of confinement made her uncomfortable.

Like when they first went home to live, Zhou's mother and Lin's mother said that they were afraid that she would catch a cold in the hall, so they basically stayed in the room and never went out except for going to the toilet, and the three meals were sent in for her to eat.

After surviving the first fifteen days, she could go out of the room to eat at the dining table, breathing the air outside the room and eating, which was called a comfort.

Also, you can't take a shower and wash your hair.

In this regard, Zhou's mother said: "Xiaomeng, it is easy to catch a cold when taking a bath and washing your hair, let's wipe our bodies with hot water every few days, and we have to wash our hair for at least a month." Fortunately, it's autumn, so it's comfortable. ”

Yes, it's autumn.

Zhou Yunmeng remembered that modern times don't seem to be so particular, and after a certain stage, you can wash your hair and take a bath, of course, it must be as many times as possible.

But her words couldn't resist Mother Zhou and Mother Lin's kindness to her, so she simply endured it.

I wiped my body once every two or three days, and I didn't let her go to the toilet to wash, saying that it was warmer in the room. Usually when she wakes up from a nap and is warm, Zhou's mother boiled a wooden bucket of hot water and brought it into the room, and took a basin and a towel for her to wipe herself.

Zhou Yunmeng's hair is dry, usually produces less oil, and it is autumn again, so his hair is not more dusty than when he stays in the room, and it is okay to endure it for more than ten days.

The hair in the back is oily, I can't stand it, Zhou Yunmeng is glad that there is a leave-in drying spray in the daily chemical area at home, and after spraying, her jet-black hair becomes fluffy in seconds, and when the fragrance on her head dissipates, she will go out of the supermarket, and no one will notice the change.

In addition to sleeping and eating, nesting in the room is to tease the child. But for that long part of the day, it can also be a little boring.

Fifteen days after her confinement, she felt better and went in and out of the supermarket often.

First, the temperature in the supermarket is automatically adjusted, and people are comfortable to stay inside; Second, it is rare to have such free time, you can go into the supermarket leisurely and aimlessly, and find some things that you haven't noticed in a hurry.

When Zhou Yun dreamed of entering the supermarket, he excused himself by saying that he wanted to sleep quietly, and called Zhou's mother or Lin's mother to carry Yiyi to the next room to play or sleep.

Even if the child can't turn over now, doesn't remember anything, and doesn't understand anything, she doesn't worry about letting the child stay alone, and she doesn't worry about letting the child look at the good mother and disappear directly.

For oily hair, the leave-in hair spray solves the needs of the moment, and it can't solve the needs of the remaining ten days.

Fortunately, by chance, Zhou Yunmeng wanted to give Yiyi clothes after picking out in the maternal and child product area, and went to the nutrition shelf to get a can of postpartum nutritious porridge and prepared to go to the fresh and cooked food area to heat it in the microwave oven to eat, and inadvertently found a small shelf that could not be smaller, placed in a separate row in the corner, and there were some confinement tips books on it.

She was moved, took a copy and opened it to the catalog page, took a cursory look at it, and then moved to the bar counter in the fresh and cooked food area, unwrapped the plastic film packaging of the nutritious porridge, and put it directly into the microwave to heat it.

These are convenient packages that can be heated directly in the microwave.

Taking advantage of the heating, Zhou Yunmeng sat on the rotating high stool in front of the bar and looked at the book in his hand leisurely.

There are tips on how to remove hair oil during confinement, Zhou Yunmeng smiled, sure enough, no matter when or who you are, the troubles faced by confinement are inseparable.

The book says that after diluting it with alcohol and water, dip it with a cotton swab, comb it from the scalp down like combing your hair, and do it once a day in the morning for a few days, so that your hair is dry and itchy.

After Zhou Yunmeng saw it, he decided to give it a try.

"Ding!"

The microwave went off, the nutritious porridge was heated, Zhou Yunmeng got up and went over to open it, took out the nutritious porridge with a tong, and ate it with the matching spoon.

While reading this book, there are other confinement tips that seem to be useful, and she just hates to meet too late.

That night, Zhou Yunmeng said to Zhou's mother: "Mother, I saw one in that Shanghai magazine, and the method is ......"

This Shanghai magazine was received during her hospitalization during childbirth, and Zhou's mother went to the mailroom to get it back.

Basically, every half month, she called the kind editor who had never met and seemed to be a friend to send the latest Shanghai magazine.

It is precisely because she has been in contact with the Shanghai market that Zhou's mother and her sisters are not surprised about her classmates in Shanghai.

She also plans to send a letter to Shanghai after a while, and then use it to get back from the supermarket.

This will be Zhou's mother listened to the method of combing her hair with alcohol mixed with water during confinement, but she didn't suspect anything, and the method that the girl saw from the book was correct.

She sighed: "No wonder it is said that knowledge changes fate, it is true that there are many experiences passed down by the older generation, and there are methods in books that we don't know." ”

Zhou's mother thought that alcohol in the hospital was a good thing to clean wounds, and when the village mother came to deliver the child, the scissors were also scalded with alcohol or soju first, and the scalp would definitely be able to itch.

Why didn't anyone in the village think of this method before?

Zhou Yunmeng smiled: "That mother went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to help me buy another comb, I specially used it to comb my hair with alcohol." ”

Cotton swabs are difficult to buy, and they are generally available in hospitals at this time. She simply asked Zhou's mother to buy a comb, under the pretext of using a comb, but in fact, she was alone in the room, and then took a cotton swab from the daily area of the supermarket to get it.

Its practical comb is also fine, and it is more convenient to comb than a cotton swab. However, the comb tooth gap is smooth, and the alcohol slides off quickly, which is not as good as the cotton swab stick head that can absorb alcohol.

Disposable disposable throw-aways are also more hygienic in this matter. Since there is one in the supermarket, Zhou Yunmeng is of course more willing to follow the method in the book.

Zhou's mother should be fine, and the next day she and Lin's mother took a shuttle bus to the farmers' market to buy things, went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy a comb, and went to the grain and oil shop to get a porcelain jar of alcohol back.

I can't wait for tomorrow morning, Zhou Yunmeng asked Zhou's mother to help get a bowl of alcohol mixed with water after taking a lunch break, and operated it in the room by herself.

After wiping it, the scalp is cool and cool, and when it is all wiped off, it takes a lot of cotton swabs and time.

There was also a smell of alcohol on my head, and I had to wait for it to dissipate slowly.

Zhou Yunmeng was glad that he had prepared for it, and he had fed Yiyi before getting these, and asked Mother Lin to carry him to the next room. Before the smell of alcohol dissipated, she couldn't hold the child.

Children's sense of smell is still in the early stage of growth, and they can't stand these irritating smells.

She opened the door so that the smell could escape.

In the next few days, Zhou Yunmeng got up in the morning, had breakfast, and fed Yiyi, and then went back to the room to get these.

After persevering like this, she also found that this method was easy to use and effective, her hair was indeed a lot drier, and her scalp, which was originally a little itchy, would not itch at all.

The troubled problem was solved, and she continued to sit comfortably in confinement.

Thirty days after giving birth, after eating at noon, and even taking a break in the morning, Zhou Yunmeng went to wash his hair first, which was called a comfort.

As soon as Mother Zhou and Mother Lin saw her come out after washing her hair, they held a dry towel alone, opened their bows left and right to help her wipe her wet black hair, the movements were gentle and the speed was not slow, until her hair was wiped dry until it was seventy or eighty percent dry.

The last ten days of confinement are simply blissful, and the trouble of not being able to take a shower and wash your hair is gone, and only happiness remains.

Yiyi is the same every day, and it is still a beautiful and cute milk doll. She has been awake for a long time, with wet apricot eyes, a small mouth, a small fist, and a few waves of her little fist, and she is happy to tease her.

As soon as the corners of the little lips were raised, the fleshy cheeks revealed shallow dimples, which made people smile and soften their hearts completely.

Zhou Yunmeng's greatest pleasure is to play with Yiyi.

Zhou's mother, Lin's mother are also, and Lin Jinping is even more. There is no way to be in the army during the day, but when you come back at noon and in the evening, after accompanying your daughter-in-law, you will go to play with your children.

Even if the child is asleep, he loves to see his daughter sleeping comfortably.

For most people in this era, confinement means enjoying the care of their in-laws, not having to work, and being able to recuperate, which is a rare good day.

But Zhou Yunmeng felt that she was basically in confinement every day, and after forty days after giving birth, her life was still like that, but there were fewer taboos.

For example, you can take a bath and wash your hair, for example, you can walk around the house at will, you can go downstairs, for example, you can eat some salty meat dishes......

But Zhou's mother still told her to pay attention to it after a while: "Xiaomeng, we still have to pay attention to keeping warm, wear more clothes, don't blow the wind and catch a cold, you will have a headache when you get old in the future." ”

Zhou Yunmeng smiled and responded: "Mother, don't worry, I usually dress very warmly, and no one will be cold when I am cold." ”

It's early winter, and it's getting colder, with occasional rain at night, and even colder the next day.

She has always cherished herself, and she will not wear less clothes, even Yiyi She also wraps them tightly.

As long as the child is not uncomfortable, she dresses the child so much.

Yiyi loves to laugh with her family, waves her hand to say hello, and when it is hot, she will pout and hum a few times, and then tear the wrapped quilt a little more, Yiyi will continue to play happily with her family when she is comfortable and not hot.

The third daughter-in-law is out of confinement, and Mother Lin is reluctant to let go of her granddaughter, and she is embarrassed to stay here any longer. There is a mother-in-law, and the confinement will be called a hand, and this will still stay here, like what kind of words.

She talked to her mother-in-law and the third husband and wife about going back, and said: "I have to go back to my hometown to see, and when you come back for the New Year, I will see you again, and it will be less than a month." ”

It was January 1976 just a few days ago.

directly blocked the words that the mother-in-law and the third husband and wife might want to keep her.

Zhou's mother thought about it, but there were still sons and grandchildren in her mother's house, so it was naturally impossible to put them here. Originally, I just said that I would come to see it for a few days, but it has been almost a month and a half, and I can't make it difficult for my mother-in-law.

Lin Jinping and Zhou Yunmeng also nodded in support of Lin's mother's return.

Zhou Yunmeng said with a smile: "When we go back for the New Year, Yiyi will be more energetic for more than two months, and I will definitely love to invite you to play." ”

The child is now, as long as she is awake and sees someone there, she has to play with someone, she ahh

Mother Lin was happy just thinking about it: "Yes, when the time comes, your father will definitely be happy to see Yiyi, and he will tease her with me." ”

Lin Jinping listened to his mother's words and thought about his father's taciturn face, which is good for his nephews and nieces, but he rarely teases children.

However, Yiyi is so cute, and Dad has been looking forward to it for so long, maybe it's really possible to be like what my mother said?

He said: "Mother, there is a shuttle bus to the county seat the day after tomorrow, and when the time comes, I will ask for leave to take you to the train station in the morning." ”

Mother Lin smiled and responded.

In the next two days, Mother Lin took care of the third daughter-in-law and granddaughter more attentively, and she was even more shy and warm to Zhou Yunmeng, and hugged and teased her granddaughter.

Knowing that her mother-in-law was reluctant, Zhou's mother was also happy to be relaxed in the past two days, and when she needed to hold the child and coax the child to change the child's diaper, she gave it to Mother Lin.

Mother Lin also said goodbye to Fang's sister-in-law, Sister-in-law Ye, Han's mother's side, and the old partners who played together here during this time.

On the day when Mother Lin was going back, Mother Zhou went to the canteen early to make breakfast and came back, with six big meat buns and two pieces of fresh meat pancakes for her mother to eat on the way.

It's not that she doesn't want to help make lunch, it's that the canteen is rare, and it has to be supplied in a state-run restaurant in her hometown to queue up early to buy it.

These quantities are so large that they must not be eaten all, and they can be heated for the children at home.

Naturally, an aluminum lunch box can't fit down, but Mother Lin said that if she took one more lunch box, there would be one lunch box left at home, and the next time they went back for the New Year, it wouldn't be enough to pack, so they directly wrapped oil paper and put it in the package.

She packed the lunch box she had brought with her when she came.

On this day, Zhou Yunmeng also got up early and had breakfast with Mother Lin.

Zhou's mother heated those buns and pancakes in the kitchen, so that they were put into the lunch box and covered, and they were still hot at noon.

Zhou Yunmeng asked Mother Lin: "Mother, have you packed up your things?" ”

Mother Lin smiled: "Third daughter-in-law, don't worry, I have packed everything that should be packed, just a package of clothes." ”

She hugged her granddaughter and teased, pretending to make her laugh with all kinds of funny expressions.

It's also a coincidence, Yiyi is usually used to eating rations at this point, and then coaxes a few times and falls asleep. But today, after feeding, Mother Lin coaxed her, but she was not happy to sleep.

Zhou Yunmeng said: "Mother, if she doesn't sleep, let her be, and when she is sleepy, she will sleep, just so that you can play with Yiyi again." ”

At that time, Zhou's mother came out of the kitchen with dishes and chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Yiyi, this child, I know that my mother-in-law is going back, and I can't bear you, so I want to play with you again." ”

How can a more than one-month-old child understand this, but Mother Lin loves to listen to these words, and she suddenly blossomed with joy, and asked while teasing her granddaughter: "Is Yiyi reluctant to milk?" ”
