Chen Yunshu put the trial-made bib on the little boss. The size was just right, and most importantly, it was practical. If he didn't have time to wipe the saliva, he could just wet the bib and change it.
There are six kids in the family, plus replacements, so a total of twelve bibs are needed.
Fortunately, this thing is quick to make. In less than an hour, Grandma Gu and Mother Gu worked together to make fifteen bibs.
Grandma Gu saved the fabric to make clothes for her children, and gave away more than half of it, but she was happy.
In her opinion, as long as something is used by her great-grandchildren, it is not a waste.
In those days, cloth had to be purchased with coupons. If people wanted to make a new piece of clothing, they often had to save up cloth coupons for several months. Only the Gu family doted on their children so much that they would give the cloth they had intended for making clothes to their little kid to make bibs without blinking an eye.
Mother Gu knew that her daughter-in-law loved cleanliness, so she took the fifteen bibs she had prepared outside to wash them, and then gave them to the children after they were completely dry.
Normally, anyone who wants to hold a few babies has to wash their hands before holding them.
Several men in the family who have a history of smoking are afraid that the smell of smoke on their bodies will choke their children, so those who can quit smoking have done so. Those who really can't help the urge to smoke will go outside to smoke and never smoke at home.
Shen Yunshu is most relieved to leave the kids to their family members.
We agreed to braise the pig's head tonight, but the men in the family went out to look for pepper trees, and the big pig's head in the wooden basin has not been cleaned yet, so we have to postpone it until tomorrow.
After dinner, Father Shen sat in the yard cleaning the pig's head, while Grandpa Gu, Grandpa Shen, and Old Man Lin huddled under the light bulb and began to polish the pepper sticks.
Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Yunshu sent them back to the house to sleep.
But! The three old men were vying with each other, and none of them was willing to give in. They returned to their own rooms and continued polishing.
Only after they finished polishing the pepper wood in their hands did they fall asleep one by one.
The next day, three old men came to show off their treasures to the kids, holding the pepper sticks they had made all night long.
The kids can't speak yet, they can only babble in baby talk that adults can't understand.
Grandpa Gu stuffed the teething stick in his hand into the hands of the third child, who grabbed the stick and put it in his mouth.
The third child had a lot of fun playing with a teething stick made of prickly ash wood.
Grandpa Gu looked at Grandpa Shen and Old Man Lin proudly, but unexpectedly, Grandpa Shen and Old Man Lin ignored him at all. They were busy coaxing the kid.
The teething sticks made by the two of them were very popular with other kids. The naughty kids would hold the teething sticks in their hands and put them into their mouths. They would bite them tightly and refuse to let go as if they had eaten something delicious.
The teething sticks all looked exactly the same, and Shen Yunshu was afraid that she would not be able to tell which one belonged to which and cause cross infection, so she asked Grandpa Gu to engrave the children's names on the teething sticks.
At noon, Grandma Gu stewed lotus root and pork ribs soup. While blanching the ribs, Shen Yunshu secretly added a lot of ribs into the pot.
There was no other way. She had to keep the secret and couldn't let her family know, so she could only use this to provide nutrition for her family.
In a few years, when things no longer need tickets to be purchased, she can take things home with confidence.
When Grandma Gu came back from outside and saw the extra ribs in the pot, she felt strange, but she didn't think much about it. She just thought it was because she was old and had a bad memory.
The lotus roots in Chen Yunshu's space are pink lotus roots, which are most suitable for making soup. Grandma Gu cut six pieces of lotus roots and put them in the pot to cook together with the pork ribs.
"Grandma, is there any glutinous rice at home?" The greedy Shen Yunshu suddenly wanted to eat brown sugar osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root.
It is soft, sweet and has the fragrance of osmanthus, which is very suitable for eating in winter.
When Shen Yunshu went to college in the north, there were several universities not far from each other, which gave rise to a university town with vendors setting up stalls on both sides of the street.
Every autumn, an elderly lady would set up a small stall at the corner of the road, selling glutinous rice lotus roots with brown sugar and osmanthus.
The aunt loves cleanliness, and the things she sells are of good quality and low price. Students from several nearby universities like to go to her stall, and Shen Yunshu is among them.
A five-yuan bowl of brown sugar osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root was enough for her. When she was in college, Shen Yunshu was as thin as a monkey, with not a pound of meat on her body. A five-yuan bowl of brown sugar glutinous rice lotus root was enough for her to eat. Every day after evening self-study get out of class, Shen Yunshu loved to drag her roommates to buy food from the aunt.
After going there many times, I became familiar with the aunt. Every time I went to her stall to buy something, the aunt would cut some extra for her, and sometimes she would even bring her her own meat buns and bread.
Later, no matter where he went, when winter came, Shen Yunshu's favorite was still the glutinous rice lotus root with sweet osmanthus.
Grandma Gu smiled and said, "Shushu, do you want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root?"
"Grandma, you are really a worm in my stomach. You even know what I want to eat."
"You girl, you always make fun of an old woman like me. I still have three pounds of glutinous rice left from making zongzi for the Dragon Boat Festival. If you want to eat some, we can make them. It's not a big deal."
When it comes to pampering children, Grandma Gu is definitely the best in the family.
Shen Yunshu hugged Grandma Gu’s shoulders and acted coquettishly: “Grandma, you are so kind to me, I like you the most.”
"Ahem." Mother Gu, who was left out by her beloved daughter-in-law, became jealous.
Jealousy is everywhere.
Shen Yunshu, who was the best at observing people's expressions, immediately stepped forward and hugged Gu's mother's arm and acted coquettishly: "Mom, you are the best to me. You are the best mother-in-law in the world and the best mother-in-law to your daughter-in-law. No one can compare to you. In my heart, you will always be the most important. Gu Jiuyan has to go to the back row..."
