Chapter 173 Baby Walker

Xiao Caixia is now the joy of both families; everyone loves her.

Nini loves it even more, and looks forward to her little sister learning to talk and walk soon so that she can take her to the mountain to pick flowers to wear.

As soon as Grandma Xiaoman saw them arrive, she put down the hemp thread she was holding and took the child from Qiaoyun's arms: "Oh dear, Caixia hasn't eaten yet! Come, let Grandma feed you!"

So, Qiaoyun pulled over a straw mound, and together they each held the child and fed the baby.

Xiao Caixia is older now. Although she is still breastfeeding, she mainly eats solid food.

Feeding them has become a challenge; you have to coax them to eat, otherwise they'll eat while playing.

But with Nini around, she stopped playing and making a fuss, just babbling incomprehensible words, and shared a spoonful of food with Nini.

Qiaoyun naturally makes extra canned food for her child, and four-year-old Nini gets an extra meal every morning and afternoon.

Now, both children are healthy and strong, and they didn't get sick at all during the winter.

Nini is even taller than Xiaobao, who is a year older than Xu Changshou.

On the other side, Jiang Zhi took out the adult rehabilitation training walker she made: "Dazhu, I made this. You can use this to stand every day. If you can't stand, sit down."

Upon hearing that it was for walking practice, everyone put down what they were doing.

The frame-like equipment was placed in the yard, and Chunfeng, Xu Errui, and Jiang Zhi worked together to put Xu Dazhu inside.

Xu Dazhu's legs were weak and he couldn't move them freely. When he moved around while sitting on the ground, his legs could only drag on his sides.

When Xiaoman and Errui were at home, they would help him walk around a few times to loosen his joints.

The two of them rarely come back to the village now, and he hasn't been able to stand up for quite some time.

At this point, I can steady myself by supporting myself with the wooden sticks on both sides, but my body is shaking uncontrollably.

He had barely stood up for a minute when he started to stagger and was about to fall over, so Xu Errui quickly caught him.

"Dazhu, there's a rattan net inside. If you can't stand, sit down quickly!" Jiang Zhi instructed him on how to use it.

In just a short while, Xu Dazhu's forehead was covered in sweat, and he slumped down on the vine.

It was heartbreaking to watch, but Xu Dazhu smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie. With this chair, I can stand on my own more often from now on."

He only needs to tie a rope to a high place, grab the rope to pull himself up and stand in the walker, so he doesn't need someone to help him every time, and he can exercise anytime, anywhere.

For one or two years, as long as there was hope, he practiced every day without fear of fatigue or pain, and one day he would be able to stand up properly.

Chunfeng wiped Xu Dazhu's sweat, her eyes full of heartache. Ever since Dazhu was able to get out of bed, he had been eager to do the work. Now that he's been working out, he must be standing all the time.

Jiang Zhi said, "Take it slow, don't hurt yourself all at once. Also, adjust these heights yourself, and make changes if there are any uncomfortable parts."

What she's doing now is just a prototype; Xu Dazhu still needs to handle and improve the details himself.

Grandpa Xiaoman touched the baby walker, his face crinkling with laughter: "I haven't even made a wooden walker for Caixia yet, and you've already made one!"

The wooden cart is actually a sedan chair. Before, Xiaomanye wove a special basket for carrying babies, which made it convenient to carry babies while working.

In addition, it was unsafe to use a wheeled wooden cart on the mountain, so we didn't consider making one.

Jiang Zhi laughed and said, "Uncle Chang Geng, my craftsmanship is not good. I just made it on a whim. You think I should make a sturdier one instead."

She only considered that it was lightweight and didn't think that it needed to support the weight of an adult. She thought that this one would only be suitable for her when she had recovered to a certain extent.

Xiaoman nodded: "You're very thoughtful; you've considered things more thoroughly than I have."

After resting for a while, Xu Dazhu stood up again, and Xu Errui and the others surrounded him, chattering noisily.

Beside her, Jiang Zhi briefly mentioned the matter of selling the medicine prescription to Uncle Xiaoman: "Uncle Changgeng, they want to buy the medicine that was sent to Baicaotang before!"

That medicine was made with the collective effort of everyone involved, and even Grandpa Xiaoman knew it was sent to sell.

After so much time had passed without any news, I just assumed that others hadn't taken a liking to me.

No one had mentioned it before, but now that there's news, Jiang Zhi is letting everyone know.

"That's a good thing!" Xiaoman replied casually, his eyes still fixed on Xu Dazhu who was standing there.

Jiang Zhi smiled and said, "Uncle Chang Geng, I'm also a straightforward person, and I don't hide anything from others."

If we can sell the medicine, and your family contributes, I'll share some of the money. It's not much, but it's my way of showing my appreciation.

When making the medicine, Xiaoman's grandmother helped shake it into granules, while Xu Dazhu dried the bamboo tubes, carved the characters, and sealed them.

Although it may seem unrelated to the efficacy of the medicine, packaging is still very important for the first impression of a new product.

Attractive packaging not only prevents medicine from quickly clumping and spoiling in the humid environment of Bavaria, but it is also visually appealing and gives people a sense of seriousness and that it is a genuine finished product, which is also a matter of attitude.

If Jiang Zhi were to appear at Baicaotang with powder wrapped in oiled paper, no matter how eloquently she described it, and even if it had the same effect, the Huo family might not even be interested in seeing it.

Upon hearing about the money being divided, Xiaomanye looked up, his expression unchanged, and said earnestly, "Errui's mother, those things were all made by your family. We just did some manual labor and helped out a little; it's nothing to mention."

Besides, Baicaotang sells medicine and relies on prescriptions. Without good medicine, even if we carve a beautiful flower, it's useless.

At this point, Xiaomanye pointed at Xu Dazhu, who had sat down again, his fingers trembling slightly. After a long silence, his voice suddenly choked up as he said, "Dazhu can stand up now, Errui's mother. You have saved my family's life several times."

From now on, you'll be willing to do anything, from small tasks to being treated like a slave.

I, Xu Changgeng, have never owed anyone a favor in my life. Now I am, and if I can't repay it in this life, I'll have to repay it in the next.

Jiang Zhi was suddenly speechless. Money is a good thing, but it's not the most important thing in everything. In the hearts of these blood relatives, their children are the most important.

If I were to bring up paying Xiaoman a salary at this point, it would be incredibly tactless and lacking in social skills.

As if he knew what she wanted to say, Xiaoman waved his hand and said, "Errui's mother, do whatever you want."

I'm an old man with no other skills. I can't talk or do anything, so I can only do some clumsy and rough work.

While I'm still able to move around and look after these fields on the mountain, and while I can still say a few words to the Xu family, you can focus on your work and don't need to tell us anything.

If you think Xiaoman is obedient enough, then keep her around and use her as you see fit.

Having said that, Jiang Zhi didn't explain further and nodded, "Uncle Chang Geng, don't worry, I will keep Xiaoman's affairs in mind from now on."

A smile returned to Xiaoman's eyes: "Now that Xiaoman can settle down, even if his grandma and I were to die right now, there would be nothing left to worry about."

In his world, there are only two things: Dazhu's body and Xiaoman's future.

Now Dazhu is recovering day by day, with his wife Chunfeng by his side and a child by his side, he can live a good life from now on.
