Chapter 65: Not to be underestimated
Now no one can call him a "toothless baby" anymore.
In the past, people always joked that this child was growing too slowly and that he hadn't even grown any teeth yet. Now, there is finally a strong reason to refute this.
"Really?"
Li Weiwei, who was standing nearby, was also very interested after hearing this and hurried forward to witness this sudden surprise with her own eyes.
"It's real, you see, it's just showing its head."
Zhao Chunhua explained with a happy smile on her face, "No wonder he has been drooling so much recently, it turns out he is teething."
Although she had experienced many hardships and indifference in this world, and had not felt any warmth and care from her parents, she had no intention of forming her own family, but deep in her heart she still retained her love for the innocence and cuteness of children.
Because children represent hope, and they are the driving force that propels the world forward.
Although I don’t have children, my friends do.
She remembered that her friends often mentioned that parents need to pay special attention when their children start to grow teeth because it is an exciting but challenging stage.
When teeth are growing, the child's body will undergo various subtle changes, such as a slight increase in body temperature, and sometimes even symptoms of a mild fever.
In addition, the child may suddenly become less willing to eat, and may be more restless than usual when sleeping at night, tossing and turning. These situations require parents to remain vigilant and patient and observe the child's specific situation so that they can provide appropriate care and support in a timely manner.
"You play with him for a while, I'll make dinner."
She thought silently in her heart and decided to make a soft, sweet egg custard for the little baby who had just grown teeth as a small celebration.
This is not only a delicacy, but also a blessing for the healthy growth of little life.
How wonderful! As time goes by, the little one will be able to accept more and more types of food. This is a happy thing for everyone who cares about his growth.
Thinking of this, her heart was filled with warmth and anticipation.
As for their dinner today, it was much simpler - just a steamed bun, a sweet potato, and some fresh vegetables picked from the vegetable garden.
In fact, for them, being able to enjoy such a not luxurious but quite sumptuous meal in such an environment is already very rare and satisfying.
If it hadn't happened to be the busiest farming season of the year, even meals of this quality might not have been easy to come by.
Normally, villagers would choose to have a substantial breakfast in the early morning before work to ensure the physical strength needed for the day; and the evening meal would be kept as simple as possible, and everyone would think it was normal even if they were half full, and there would not be too many particularities or expectations.
Li Weiwei took the steaming bun handed to her by Zhao Chunhua, and looking at the simple yet precious meal in front of her, she couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
"I didn't do anything today, how can I enjoy such delicious food?"
Thinking of such a sumptuous treat of steamed buns and sweet potatoes, she felt a little unworthy, after all, she didn't help much.
"Don't think too much, just eat what you are asked to eat. It is true that there is no task suitable for immediate implementation, mainly because it takes some time for the two of you to slowly get to know and adapt to each other."
Faced with her good friend's sincere and friendly gaze and encouraging words, she finally felt relieved.
It is only the end of June and most crops will not mature until July or August (according to the lunar calendar).
After that, there will be a series of important things to do: first, re-cultivate the land, then plant crops suitable for growing in autumn and winter; in addition, you need to be busy picking ripe vegetables and fruits and pickling or drying them for future consumption.
Moreover, the firewood needed in winter also needs to be prepared in advance; in daily life, pig grass needs to be cut and chopped regularly to be used as feed for chickens.
During this period, it was almost impossible to find ready-made feeds specifically for feeding poultry.
Just by listening to the schedule, you can already feel the enormity of the task.
When the actual operation begins, each step will take up a lot of time and energy.
How could there be any free time?
After listening to Zhao Chunhua's introduction to how busy the schedule would be in the coming period, Li Weiwei felt much more at ease.
As long as there is specific
Just assign tasks to yourself to complete. If you do nothing every day and just eat and drink, you will always feel uncomfortable inside.
After dinner, Li Weiwei quickly washed all the used dishes and then hurried to the backyard.
There she began to chop a large pile of fresh green grass, and also took a few handfuls of coarse grain bran, mixed them together, put them into the pot and cooked them until cooked, then took them out and let them cool.
Finally, these carefully prepared foods were poured into the chicken trough one by one for the lively little chicks to enjoy.
It should be noted that when raising chicks, not too much food should be given at one time.
In order to avoid waste or affecting their health, they usually need to be fed in two meals a day.
What’s more, in order to increase the survival rate of the chicks, even the drinking water has to be specially treated - the water must be boiled first and then cooled to a suitable temperature before it can be provided to them for drinking.
At present, the family has not found a reliable source of income, so every penny and every resource needs to be cherished.
In these tight economic conditions, even these tiny chicks are considered a precious possession of the family.
Because at this time, every little creature or object that can bring value is crucial and should not be underestimated.
When night fell and everything returned to calm, Zhao Chunhua had no intention of resting immediately.
She understood that in such an environment, she had to make full use of every available working moment.
Although some people in this era had begun to try to use candles as a way of night lighting, most ordinary families like theirs still relied mainly on oil lamps to get through the long dark nights.
The light was not bright. For Zhao Chunhua, who was used to the brightness of modern society, this little light was like a night light placed on the bedside at night. It could only vaguely illuminate a small space around, allowing people to barely see the surrounding situation.
So she would rather choose to continue passing the time in the courtyard before it really gets dark.
