Song Yan never thought she would experience a day of transmigrating into a book. Well, if she transmigrated, she transmigrated! The 1970s weren't that scary.
However, she didn't expec...
At night, Wei Aiguo would wake up if Song Yan moved even slightly.
"Are you feeling unwell anywhere?" Wei Aiguo asked.
"It's alright! I need to get up and use the restroom."
Wei Aiguo would definitely not let Song Yan go out. No matter how uncomfortable or unwilling Song Yan was, she had to take care of things inside the house.
Knowing that Song Yan was a clean person, Wei Aiguo immediately scrubbed the bucket clean and brought warm water for Song Yan to wash his hands.
Wei Aiguo lit a fire and warmed some porridge for Song Yan.
This porridge is made with brown sugar.
Song Yan didn't feel hungry, but the smell of porridge made his stomach feel empty.
An egg and a bowl of hot porridge made me feel quite comfortable.
Song Yan then began her postpartum confinement period.
I wake up drenched in sweat every time I sleep, and the rules about not showering, not washing my hair, and not eating salt are strictly enforced. I'm constantly being fed chicken soup and fish soup, and suddenly it feels like every day is an eternity.
People from the whole group came one after another to help with lactation.
Traditionally, four eggs are given as a gift, and six is considered quite a lot. Back then, many families would give eight or ten eggs. Giving hens was also common, indicating very close relationships.
Many families in Songyan bring twenty eggs, and several others bring hens as gifts.
Did Song Yan have no idea he was so popular?
Aunt Wei smiled: "You casually treat someone's illness and give them some medicine. You don't think much of it, but it doesn't cost any money and it's convenient. How can I not thank you?"
Song Yan felt that most of these were just colds or flu, nothing serious, and that most people could recover on their own without taking any medicine.
Song Yan: "Today, Chen Xiaodong's mother brought 20 eggs. I have no dealings with this old lady! Chen Xiaodong's wife already brought a hen, so she shouldn't have needed to come."
And Sun Akun's younger sister, she married and moved away a long time ago, I don't even know her."
Aunt Wei raised an eyebrow. "Erzhuang's wife couldn't get pregnant for many years. She only got pregnant after you took a look at her!"
Chen Xiaodong has a married younger sister who is in the same situation as Erzhuang's wife. After Erzhuang's wife became pregnant, she went there to inquire about how she got pregnant.
"She probably didn't say anything before because you were further along in your pregnancy. I think she'll come to see you after your confinement period."
Song Yan bought several baskets of eggs. He couldn't eat them all, so he had Xiao Hu take them to sell.
Wei Aiguo could only get seven days of leave, and he left after seven days.
Jiang Xiaoxiao is coming over to sleep with her and will help take care of the child at night.
Song Yan absolutely refused.
Having just sent away the person who was watching her every day, Song Yan insisted on sleeping alone.
Bai Shuang stayed in Song Yan's room and wouldn't leave. The moment Song Yan turned over, she would immediately lift her head and stare at him.
Song Yan patted Bai Shuang's head, "Are you trying to become a spirit?"
That evening, Song Yan brought Bai Shuang into the space.
The temperature in the room was warm and comfortable, and Song Yan washed herself from head to toe. She felt like she had come back to life.
Before, Wei Aiguo would often come and rub against me, sometimes even touching me. Could it be that he has rhinitis and can't smell anything?
Song Yan's rapid growth is definitely related to the spring water. The spring water flow is getting smaller and smaller, and it changed its course long ago, no longer flowing into the pond. Instead, it flows towards the edge of the space, into the misty edge.
Song Yan wasn't sure how weak the water flow would become, and what would happen if it stopped flowing altogether? After thinking about it, she decided to collect some spring water!
Because there was no salt left, the duck eggs weren't pickled. The large vat was empty! Song Yan washed the vat clean and started collecting spring water into it…
The little girl is very easy to care for; she only wakes up twice a night to nurse, and she's very well-behaved, just whimpering. After changing her diaper and feeding her, she falls asleep.
Wei Aiguo comes back every seven days, and it seems that the child is different each time.
The baby was almost a month old, and Song Yan and Wei Aiguo still hadn't named her. The whole family, including Wei Ping and Wei An, tried to come up with names. But every time they suggested one, everyone would nitpick and find fault. Even after the full month, she still didn't have a name, and everyone called her "Little Girl." Wei Ping and Wei An called her "Little Sister."
In this era, full moon celebrations were not held, and Song Yan was allowed to take a bath the day after the full moon.
By this time, the weather had turned cool, and sometimes there was frost on the ground in the mornings. The autumn harvest was also nearing its end.
…
Last year, Captain Wu let Lao Han and the others move in even later. This year, Lao Zeng took the initiative to go to Captain Wu and said that his old leg pain had flared up and was in severe pain every day. The severe pain was preventing him from working. He said it would be much better if he could sleep on a heated kang. He asked the captain if he could move in a few days earlier.
Captain Wu wouldn't make things difficult for him over such trivial matters, and agreed on the spot. Old Zeng happily moved his things.
Actually, they didn't have much. The food Song Yan had prepared for them would soon be finished within a month.
So the day after Song Yan's full moon celebration, they moved into the house next to Song Yan's house.
Song Yan naturally knew why they were in such a hurry to move over.
That night, Song Yan deliberately left the front door unlocked. When he heard Bai Shuang and Hei Zai's whimpering, Song Yan quickly went outside.
These two big dogs are fine during the day; they don't mind strangers as long as they don't approach. But at night, they become very aggressive.
Song Yan held Bai Shuang in one hand and Hei Zai in the other. "You two go inside quickly!"
The weather was cool, but not too cold. They didn't rush to the child after entering the house, letting themselves catch the chill for a while.
The little girl's diaper had just been changed; she wasn't asleep yet, her eyes were bright and alert.
