Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

Jinghan and the others were about to go out. When they heard this, Jinghan said, "Grandma, let me stay and help you." Among these people, I am afraid that she is the only one who can do well. Jingya seems to be in a daze now.

"Isn't there an adult in your family? Why are you, a little kid, causing trouble?" the midwife asked.

"No." Jinghan replied.

"Okay, then you can stay and help me. Do whatever I ask you to do, do you hear me?" The midwife had no choice but to agree.

Next, Jinghan began the experience of delivering a baby for the first time in her life. As long as the midwife asked her to do something, Jinghan would do it quickly. Huixin's shouts and the midwife's instructions could be heard in her ears, and her men still had to work. The midwife asked for water at one moment and cloth at another, and Jinghan hurriedly handed it forward as she asked.

Qingnian stood in the outer room, walking back and forth. Listening to Huixin's shouts in the room, Qingnian's heart clenched. After about an hour, a loud baby cry came from the room, and Qingnian finally felt relieved.

In the room, the midwife took scissors boiled in hot water, cut the baby's umbilical cord, and wrapped it with a cloth strip. Then take a cloth, dip it in warm water and carefully scrub the child's body. Jinghan waited aside with a dry cloth. When she saw that the child had been wiped clean, she quickly wiped it with a dry cloth again. Then a small quilt was handed over, and the midwife helped wrap the baby in it.

The midwife and Jinghan moved Huixin from the top of the kang to the end of the kang. At this time, Huixin had fallen asleep from exhaustion. The midwife put the baby next to Huixin, then helped Jinghan clean up all the dirty things in the room, and then opened the door.

Qingnian was waiting outside. When he saw the midwife coming out, he asked, "Aunt Liu, how is my wife?" What he was most worried about was Huixin's condition.

The midwife looked at her like she was celebrating a new year, and smiled, "I have never seen a man who didn't ask what happened first, but instead asked his wife. Don't worry, your wife is very good, but she fell asleep from being tired. The child is also very good, he is a boy, fair and fat, weighing more than seven pounds."

Qingnian almost jumped up with joy after hearing this. He quickly took out a big red envelope and stuffed it into Mrs. Liu's hand. "Aunt Liu, this is the wedding money for you. Don't be too little. Thank you, Auntie."

Mrs. Liu took the red envelope, weighed it with her hands, and saw that it was heavy. She immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I have to keep this wedding money. Okay, it's nothing to do with me, so I'll go back. You hurry up and prepare it for the mother." Eat more, eat early, and get milk early, so adults and children will suffer less.”

Qingnian sent the midwife out, then returned to the house, came to the Kang, and looked at his wife and son. Huixin's face was still a little pale, but she slept quite honestly. She seemed really exhausted. In the small candle bag on the side, a little baby with a wrinkled face is sleeping with his eyes closed and frowning. Qingnian's eyes became a little wet as he watched. These are his wife and son, the people he is closest to in this life. It feels so good.

Jinghan just saw Qingnian coming in and went out. It was time to announce the birth of a baby. Jinghan went to the kitchen, found eggs to boil, and then went into the house to find a piece of red paper so that she could dye the eggs later. Not long after, the red eggs came out of the oven, and Jinghan put the eggs into several baskets. I happened to see Qingnian coming out of the house. "Brother-in-law, I boiled a hundred eggs. Think about which family is going to announce the good news, and go quickly. You go to a nearby place first, and then go to the mountain to tell my grandma. It is best for my grandma Maybe my mother can come, otherwise we don’t know how to take care of a baby and a woman in confinement.”

Qingnian hurriedly carried the basket and went to various relatives' houses to announce the good news, while Jinghan led Jingya and the others to cook something for Huixin at home. Jinghan had already bought pig's trotters and chicken, etc. Jinghan stewed the pig's trotters first and put peanuts and passepartout in them, which are all stimulating lactation.

Huixin slept for an hour and then woke up. Jinghan had also stewed everything and brought it to Huixin to eat. "Little aunt, you don't have to get up, just lie half down like this. Drink slowly. I put peanuts and other things in this pig's trotters. After eating, you will get milk quickly." Jinghan put the soup on the kang, and then found a A big pillow was stuffed behind Huixin. Huixin just lay half-lying, drank some soup, and then ate two eggs.

Jinghan looked at the little guy next to him, who had been sleeping the whole time. "This little brother is worry-free. He doesn't cry or make trouble." Jinghan touched the child's tender face. "Little aunt, don't eat too much first, or you may burst your stomach. If you are hungry, just say, I have been making soup on our stove. I will cook some millet porridge later. You can eat whatever you like, but there is no salty taste in this rice, so you have to make do with it. "Although Jinghan was never married and had no children in her previous life, there were always pregnant women among the people she came into contact with. Category. In addition, grandma often talks about some things in the past, some of which were about grandma taking care of her children, so Jinghan can understand a little bit.

Seeing Huixin finish her meal, Jinghan took the things out. She found a cloth, wrapped a few eggs in it, and put it on Huixin's Kang. "Little aunt, I will put the eggs on the bed. If you are hungry, just take them and eat them."

"Okay, Jinghan, you should take a rest quickly. You have been very busy this afternoon." Huixin said while lying down.

"It's okay, little aunt, you don't have to worry about me. I'm still young, so I don't feel tired. I just need to sleep a little more at night." Jinghan went out.

In the kitchen, Jingya and the others were cooking millet porridge. When they saw Jinghan coming over, they quickly asked Jinghan to sit down. "You should take a rest. Thanks to you today, we are all in trouble. If you weren't so busy here, even my little aunt would have gone hungry." Jingya was a little frustrated, she was worse than Jinghan I'm old, but when something happens, I don't know what to do, so I just get stupid. Really, Jinghan is all busy today.

Jinghan looked at her sister's expression and couldn't help but laugh, "Sister, what's wrong with you guys? You look listless. I'm just brave. Don't you always say that I'm like a tomboy? When something happens, I I just dare to step forward. I guess grandma can come tonight or tomorrow morning. By then, we will have a backbone. By the way, we have to make some food quickly. My brother-in-law hasn't come back for dinner yet. , and Big Brother and the others should be back soon.”

The sisters hurriedly cooked, chatting while busy preparing the meal. Shen Shizhong, Wenhan and the others left school and returned home. Wen Han and Wen Cheng were also very happy when they heard that their aunt had given birth to a younger brother. When Wen Han saw that there was a lot of firewood chopped at home, he and Wen Cheng hurried to the woodshed to chop firewood.

It was almost the time of Youshi, and there was movement outside the gate. Jingwan went out and saw that her grandmother and aunt were here. "Grandma, aunt, you are here. My little aunt has given birth to a little brother."

Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Xue entered the courtyard, followed by Qingnian. Everyone did not go directly into Huixin's room, but roasted in the kitchen for a while, then opened the door of the east room and went in to take a look.

Huixin slept all afternoon and was awake now, looking at her son. When I looked up and saw my mother and sister-in-law coming, I was about to get up.

"Don't get up, just lie down. You just gave birth and can't get up." Ms. Chen quickly stepped forward and held Huixin's shoulders. "You have to take good care of yourself during the confinement period, otherwise you will get the root of the disease. Your sister-in-law and I will take care of you for a while, and we will go back when you are out of confinement. Anyway, there is not much work in the mountains now, and Your third sister-in-law is cooking and stuff up there.”

Mrs. Chen looked at the little baby next to her, "Has he always slept like this?" Mrs. Chen reached out and touched the child's body, "Well, this kang is just right for warmth. No wonder he loves sleeping so much. It's warm. Baby. The place where you sleep should not be too hot, otherwise it will be easy to get spanked. The mattress is thin and suitable. Who laid it for you? "In addition to the small quilt, there is also a thick mattress underneath. Mattress.

Huixin took a look and said, "It should be Jinghan. I fell asleep after giving birth. If Jinghan hadn't been busy inside and outside today, I really don't know what would have happened."

Mrs. Xue also came over to take a look, and then asked, "Huixin, have you eaten? I'll make you something to eat." Mrs. Xue did see the millet porridge in the kitchen. But she was afraid that the children didn't know anything. They just knew how to cook millet porridge, and that wouldn't be enough.

"Sister-in-law, no need, I just finished eating. Jinghan made me pig's trotters soup, and there were peanuts and other things in it, which are said to be good for lactation. By the way, mother, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Hurry up and make it Let's order some food. Qingnian, go out and buy some ready-made things, and then make something for my mother and sister-in-law to eat." Huixin quickly asked Qingnian to prepare something to eat.

"Sister-in-law, no need, we have prepared the food. Brother-in-law, you don't need to go out to buy things. It's such a bad time, where can we buy food? Unless we order food in a restaurant, how expensive will that be? Let's I'll just eat some tonight, and I'll buy the food tomorrow and cook it properly." Just as Jinghan and the others had finished cooking, they were about to take it into the house.

So everyone set the table and ate together. After dinner, Mrs. Chen asked Qingnian to live in Wenhan's house, and then Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Xue lived in Huixin's house so that they could get up at night to take care of Huixin's mother and son.

The little guy who had been sleeping all afternoon finally woke up, let go of his voice, and started crying.

When Mrs. Chen heard the cry, she smiled happily, "Okay, listen to the noise, but it's big enough. The child is strong enough, that's good. I've been worried about it." Mrs. Chen picked up the small candle bag , looking at this freshly baked little grandson with a wide smile, it was so beautiful that the back of his head was smiling.
