Chapter 453 Were you bitten by a rat last night?
In the main room, the charcoal fire in the brazier made a crackling sound, and the warm air kept out the wind and snow.
The baskets placed against the wall on both sides are filled with purchased New Year's goods, the bamboo sieves are filled with soft glutinous rice cakes, and the roof beams are hung with dried bacon, giving the air a strong New Year atmosphere.
The whole Su family sat around and talked and laughed.
The children all came back, and Xiu'er gave birth safely, which was a double blessing for their family.
"Luckily, thankfully you're back. We were really scared today." Thinking of her daughter's difficult birth, Old Lady Su was still terrified. She looked at her granddaughter and gestured with her hands, "Tianbao, that... of yours is also a medical skill?"
The gesture he made was the one of Tianbao cutting open his belly with a knife.
The situation in the room was urgent at that time. She did whatever her granddaughter said. After she saw her two grandsons being taken out and her daughter's belly being sutured, she checked her daughter and found that she was still breathing. Then she rolled her eyes and died, even earlier than her son-in-law fainted.
Tian Bao touched his nose and said, "It's medical skills."
"Did you also learn this from your poisonous grandfather?"
"Um."
The old man had something to say, "After sewing up the beard more than a decade ago, Tianbao and I have been practicing whenever we have free time. In previous years, a lot of the rabbit meat we cured at home was cooked by Tianbao and me."
Master Su: "..." Suddenly, he felt that the cured rabbit meat was not fragrant anymore!
It was late at night, and the old man and the children were tired from the journey. After chatting for a while, they went to rest.
Su Da and Su Er continued to guard the main hall.
Xiu'er was lying on the bed and hadn't woken up yet. Even if she woke up, she couldn't move. The bearded man was good at fighting, but he would immediately feel helpless when asked to take care of his wife and children.
In addition, a newborn baby will be hungry within an hour at most, so someone needs to take care of it. It won’t work without someone watching over it.
The two couples waited so that they could be called at any time, chatted with each other, and didn't fall asleep so easily, and stayed up all night to celebrate the New Year.
Tianbao returned to his room and closed the door. His expression changed, he covered his head with his hands, and his breathing became disordered.
No one knew that when my aunt was undergoing surgery today, her mind kept replaying the scene of herself lying on the operating table covered in blood in her previous life.
Those scenes emerged completely out of her control. During the entire operation, her head ached from time to time, and it felt like ants were crawling around in her brain, an itch that she couldn't scratch.
If she didn't have enough willpower, she might not be able to hold on.
This was her first time performing surgery on a living person.
The scalpel was made based on the shape I had seen in my previous life.
The knife that once took her life, today she uses it to kill people.
In order to ensure her aunt's safety, she specially used spatial force to form a protective layer on her aunt's wound to avoid the possibility of infection.
Xu was also unable to suppress those negative influences because she had expended a huge amount of energy.
Tianbao bit her lips hard, using the pain to fight the itch that remained in her head. After it completely subsided, she took some light steps and lay down on the bed.
The same knife can be used to kill or save someone, depending on who holds the knife.
She was glad that she didn't turn into a devil.
Late at night, when everyone is asleep, the sound of wind and snow in the winter night becomes particularly clear. I wonder which house's doors and windows are not closed properly, and they are creaking in the cold wind.
People in each household in the village who stay up to celebrate the New Year also have their own night talks.
"You didn't see the scene. It was really scary. I went in to deliver water and almost fainted. It was Madam Huo who brought me back to life! They directly used a knife to cut open the abdomen and take the baby out. Where have we ever seen this before?!"
"Women are just making a fuss!" the man scolded in a low voice, "Xiu'er is Tianbao's aunt! If it wasn't to save someone, would Tianbao have used a knife? You saw what happened at the time. If it weren't for Tianbao, there might have been one...three lives lost!"
"Hey, why are you so angry? Am I talking bad about Tianbao? I'm just saying this to you because I've never seen her before. I've also raised Tianbao since she was a child. To be honest, I treat her like my own daughter. Isn't that surprising?"
"Huh, what's the extent of Tianbao's abilities? She knows a lot more than you've ever seen."
"That's true. I don't doubt anyone who says Tianbao can pick the moon. After we finish staying up late, let's go to bed early. It's not easy to visit on New Year's Day. Tomorrow morning, call Su Da and Su Er outside the house and ask them to bring the foot covers I made for the baby."
"become!"
…
"You guys were busy inside, and we couldn't rest outside either. When Gang Leader Hu pouted, we old men were in a state of panic and had to hold back our laughter. Hahaha!"
"He was the most frightened today. He just got married at this age. Calculating the dates, Xiu'er got pregnant on their wedding night. Ten months of pregnancy is the joy of anticipation, but the birth of a child is terrifying. Fortunately, mother and child are safe, otherwise, Gang Leader Hu would have had a hard time getting over this."
"You bitch, bringing up my age again! Don't say that in front of Gang Leader Hu, or he'll be furious!"
"Pfft! How could that be? I'm not stupid. But he really loves Xiu'er, which is unexpected. Xiu'er married the right person, and all the hardships have paid off."
…
At midnight, firecrackers were heard in the village one after another.
But this year is a little different from previous years. The sound of firecrackers is very far away, all outside the village.
The villagers were afraid that the loud noise would frighten the newborn babies, so they ran away from the place and then lit firecrackers to ward off evil.
…
In Fengyun City, Wangque Tower and Bai Mansion received the good news that the Su family had a new baby. They didn't care about any customs and had tea at the Su family on the first day of the new year.
The eldest princess came along and quickly started chatting with the ladies of the Su family, without any awkwardness.
Hearing Huo Ziheng's voice in the main hall, the bearded man who had taken root beside his wife's bed rushed out, "Old Huo, you're well-educated. Give my two boys some names! They were born on New Year's Eve, so for now, they've only got nicknames. The older one will be called Nian Nian, and the younger one will be called Sui Sui!"
Huo Ziheng laughed, but didn't refuse. "You're a shipping man, dealing with water all year round. Why don't you name your eldest son Hu Anzhi and your second son Hu Chezhi, taking the name from 'The mountains and rivers are both clear, and we walk up the mountain's shore'? How about that?"
"Okay! I'll treat you to a drink later!" The man turned on his heel and rushed into the room again, shouting excitedly, "Xiu'er, Niannian, Suisui has a big name! Hu Anzhi, Hu Chezhi! Does it sound good? If not, I'll ask Huo Ziheng to give you a new one!"
Everyone outside couldn't help laughing.
I've known him for many years, and the older he gets, the more impulsive he becomes, like a young boy.
The more people there are, the more lively the house becomes.
The boys from the Su family were ordered to sort out the gifts they had received. Little Wheat Ear and Bing'er Cat were sitting next to Aunt Xiu'er, always wanting to steal a kiss on the little baby. They had been battling wits and courage with the bearded uncle all morning.
Everyone was busy, so Bai Yu had a chance to stay with Tianbao. He quietly pulled her aside when no one was paying attention.
"Tianbao, were you bitten by a mouse while sleeping last night?" Bai Yu looked around slyly, covering his mouth with one side and whispering to the girl.
Tian Bao glanced at him expressionlessly and said, "Don't ask for a beating during the New Year."
"You're cut here." Bai Yu defied the odds and poked his lower lip with his index finger to indicate the location. "It wasn't bitten by a mouse, so did you bite it yourself? If you don't tell the truth, I'll scream."
Tianbao, “…”
He has been beaten many times since he was a child, so why does he become more courageous the more he is beaten?
I've also figured out how to deal with her.
