Chapter 58 Do you want to call the whole village?
When the Luo family heard what Wang Zongming said, they couldn't help but look at Wang Ziru.
Could it be that this young wife is just trying to make a living by chance?
That's a life!
Wang Ziru noticed the panic on her brother's face, picked up the bowl and drank a few mouthfuls of porridge, "You go back first, I will be with Bao'er's father tomorrow."
"No, sister, you..." Wang Zongming didn't dare to say it clearly in front of the Luo family.
Others may not know about his sister, but doesn't he know about her?
Not to mention treating other people's children, I remember that one time their youngest brother had a fever and was unconscious. She was sensible by then and didn't know what to do, just like her parents.
Although there was a barefoot doctor in their village, according to his memory, it seemed that the girl had never learned medicine from him before she got married?
He looked at his brother-in-law and whispered, "What do you think, Bao'er's father? According to me, since I'm here, I'll take them back with me."
Zhai Ximo hummed, and looked at his wife and children who were sitting in the main room eating breakfast. "Then you go back first. We will go to Longwang Village early tomorrow."
I finally saw my brother-in-law off.
Zhai Ximo turned around, walked into the main room of the Luo family, and asked, "Bao'er's mother, are you done here?"
"I'll be back soon after breakfast. What's the matter?"
"..." Zhai Ximo nodded and walked back to Zhai's house.
Since she had the job of working for the Luo family, Wang Ziru also understood that after Luo Laosi came back from getting herbs from the next village, she would go to the stove room herself, boil the motherwort he had brought back with ginger slices and sugar in water, and then ask Luo Laosi to give it to his wife to drink.
"Drink it for three days in a row."
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Luo family was worried: "I heard from the elders in the village that women cannot take medicine during confinement. Will it be okay for the baby if you give her these medicines?"
"Motherwort is a traditional Chinese medicine that can invigorate blood circulation and dissipate blood stasis! This amount will not hinder her from breastfeeding her baby."
In the side room, Wang Ziru stared at Zhao Junxia drinking a bowl of soup.
"I'll come after lunch and help you take care of the children. It's warmer in the afternoon, so you can build a small shed in the yard first..."
Luo Laosi was in a heavy mood. He couldn't bear to see his child being sick, and he couldn't let anything happen to the child.
He sent Wang Ziru out without saying a word.
Back home.
Wang Ziru felt a little tired. She sat in the kitchen, took a breath, cleared the ashes from the fire, used the sparks inside to ignite a handful of dry grass, and soon ignited the unburned firewood.
The clever Baoer hurried to the kitchen.
The young man walked around the stove and then went to their own room to search everywhere.
He returned to his mother and sat down angrily.
"What's wrong? What are you looking for?" Wang Ziru saw that the child went to the stove excitedly, and then ran around in our side room, as if he was looking for something important.
Baoer sat on the pony, licked his lips, and said disappointedly: "Mom, Auntie didn't leave any rice for us..."
Wang Ziru's head buzzed.
It turned out that the children were looking for glutinous rice all over the house.
That’s right. My eldest brother’s family was putting up the beams of their new house, and according to the custom of the village, they went to the grain station to buy glutinous rice.
Isn’t it just to share their family’s happy events with everyone?
"Last night, Dad brought a bowl of chicken to my aunt. Why didn't she leave any rice for us?"
Wang Ziru took the fire tongs in her hand and fiddled with the dry firewood in the fire. "Do you want to eat glutinous rice? Tomorrow, we will go to celebrate grandpa's birthday. On the way back, we can buy some glutinous rice at the grain station."
"Really? Do we have glutinous rice?" Baoer's eyes were as bright as bells in surprise, and his mouth couldn't close. "Mom, have you ever eaten glutinous rice? Is it sweet?"
"Yes! It smells good."
When Zhai Ximo saw the mother and daughter finally come back, he walked into the house and sat down by the fire while no one was paying attention.
"What's the situation with the fourth son of the Luo family's wife? Is it serious?"
"Who said it's serious? It's just a normal symptom of giving birth. It will be fine after a few days of rest." Wang Ziru said unhappily, and then looked at the man, "You didn't go. If you had gone to Luo's house in the morning, you would have been so angry that you would have foamed at the mouth by Zhao Junxia's mother-in-law."
“Ahem…”
Zhai Ximo was speechless. How could it be so exaggerated?
Seeing that the man didn't believe her, Wang Ziru told him about the old woman blaming her daughter-in-law for wasting toilet paper.
However, Zhai Ximo didn't say anything after hearing this. He just smiled and said, "The Luo family has four daughters-in-law. Four women must use several kilograms of toilet paper every month. Just think about it, how much does a few kilograms of toilet paper cost? It's understandable that his mother is reluctant to spend money on it."
"Besides," the man paused and glanced at his wife, "how much paper do you use every month? It's only about a quarter of what they use."
Naturally, I couldn't realize how much the Luo family's monthly toilet paper expenses were for four women.
There is also a woman in labor.
After Wang Ziru thought about it, she felt that men were more clear-headed than her in looking at problems.
At this time, Baoer ran over and asked his father, "Dad, have you eaten the rice made by my aunt? Is it delicious?"
Zhai Ximo was stunned. "Rice? Are you talking about glutinous rice cake?"
The boy looked at his mother with a frown on his face. He had never eaten glutinous rice cake before and had no idea what it tasted like.
Wang Ziru sneered, "As soon as the kid got home, he searched the whole house for glutinous rice."
After a while, the man brushed away the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow, Dad will go to the grain station to buy some glutinous rice."
Then he got up and went out.
At noon, the mother and son simply cooked two bowls of noodles for each other.
After lunch, sit down and rest for a while.
Wang Ziru took the child to Luo's house again.
Far away, still on the village road, they heard Grandma Zhao Junxia scolding her son harshly.
"Mom, the Luo family is unhappy. Why don't we go back?" Although Baoer is small, he vaguely felt that his mother was doing something very dangerous from the arguments among the Luo family in the morning.
He was afraid that his mother would cause trouble.
Wang Ziru said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, Bao'er. Mom knows what she is doing."
"In the future, we will follow Dad to the army, and Mom will take time to teach you a lot of knowledge."
"Um."
Luo Laosi also saw Wang Ziru coming to help with her child.
At this moment, he was at a loss in the yard.
"The shed hasn't been built yet?" Wang Ziru asked when she saw a few wooden sticks and a pile of tattered floral fabrics scattered in the yard.
Luo Laosi looked at his mother and said, "My mother said that we can only give the child medicine and absolutely cannot take him out to sunbathe."
"Otherwise, the child will easily die."
"What does your mother know? If you say so, I'll go home." Wang Ziru's face was indifferent.
"Hey! Sister, don't go back yet!" Luo Lao Si saw that the person who knew something was about to leave, and hurriedly called her, "I will do as you said and build a shed to give it a try! If the child has any reaction, we will stop immediately."
Wang Ziru originally really wanted to help others.
Nod in agreement.
While the temporary sunbathing shed was being built, Han Xiuxiang and Tian Dagui came to Luojiayuanba curiously to watch.
Tian Da Kui was a kind-hearted man and hurried over to help.
"Everyone in the village knows about this! But you shouldn't listen to your mother on everything. She is old and doesn't know how to raise a child nowadays..." Tian Da Kui helped but he was also busy talking.
Half an hour passed.
A simple shed was built with a circle of old cloth around it and a piece of tape on the top.
Several sisters-in-law of the Luo family also helped to light three braziers and brought them out, placing them in the basin, and put a chair inside the shed.
Seeing that the child was about to be taken out to bask in the sun, Zhao Junxia's mother-in-law stamped her feet in anger and said, "Do you want to call the whole village to come before you stop?"
"Auntie, it's not as serious as you say. I will be responsible if anything happens to the child."
Wang Ziru looked calm.
I walked into the side room, took off all the child's clothes, wrapped him in two large diapers, put a small hat on him, wrapped him in a thick cotton blanket, and then carried him out of the side room.
Zhao Junxia was very nervous, not knowing whether this method would really work.
At this moment, Hongmei Village is sunny and beautiful, with green mountains and clear waters.
It was the hottest time of the day, the sun was very bright, and even sitting on the embankment, it felt very sunny.
Under the nervous gazes of a dozen pairs of eyes from the Luo family, Wang Ziru carried the child into the simple shed, sat down, and adjusted her sitting posture.
"Put a brazier in front, too."
Luo Laosi looked at the young child in Wang Ziru's arms and was extremely worried, but he could not help at all.
After placing the brazier, Wang Ziru skillfully unfolded the clothes wrapped around the baby and covered her eyes with a diaper, exposing the baby's delicate little face and yellow body to the sunlight.
All of a sudden, a cry of “Ah!” rang out from the courtyard!
Luo Laosi sucked in a breath of cold air and waited by the side with trembling hands. "Sister, will this freeze the baby?"
"What a sin! My granddaughter is going to die." Grandma Zhao Junxia stood in the yard and burst into tears.
There are hundreds of households living in Hongmei Village. The news spread quickly among the villagers, especially the neighbors near the Luo family, who dropped their work at home and flocked to the Luo family's courtyard to watch the excitement.
