Chapter 12: It turns out that Dad is such a Dad
"Mom, in my opinion, why don't we let my aunt wear some earthen trousers?" Zhao Chunhua suggested.
The so-called "earth pants" are a pair of small pants with a large buttocks made of cotton cloth, and then filled with clean fine sand.
The fine sand is first heated in a pan, then allowed to cool to the appropriate temperature before being put into the pants.
The child's little butt is placed right on the warm fine sand.
In this way, it is easy to take care of whether you have to poop or pee.
Poor families don’t have enough cloth to make diapers, so these traditional pants save both time and money and diapers.
Especially in winter, children who are only a few months old wear plain pants.
The sand is fried until hot, which can be considered as high-temperature disinfection.
Not only that, children can also keep warm by wearing earthen pants to sleep in winter.
After listening to her eldest daughter-in-law's suggestion, Mrs. Su pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, ask the eldest daughter to go to the river and bring back some clean sand."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Zhao Chunhua agreed and went out in a hurry.
Zhao Chunhua is particularly concerned about anything involving her sister-in-law.
Of course, Xiao Tangbao didn’t know what Tu pants were, but when she put them on, she understood.
I couldn't help but admire the wisdom of the working people.
We are wearing the original version of diapers.
**
The days of eating and sleeping pass by very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, little Tangbao is almost one month old.
"Tomorrow, how about... not having the full moon banquet?"
Old man Su sat on the kang with a worried look on his face.
Although I sold fish a few days ago and exchanged it for some rice, flour, grain and oil, there must be meat for a banquet, right?
You can't just put vegetables on the table.
That seems too shabby.
"If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. We have our own daughter, so just cherish her." said Mrs. Su.
Although I feel regretful and sorry for my little girl, I am also aware of my family's situation.
When Old Man Su saw that Old Lady Su agreed, he felt even more uncomfortable.
When he lowered his head, he saw the little girl on the kang, blinking her big eyes like glass beads and looking at him as her father. Old Man Su felt even more guilty.
He didn't even hold a full-moon party for his daughter. He felt so sorry for her!
Old man Su instinctively tried to grab the pipe, but when he failed, he remembered that he had quit smoking.
"I'm going out for a walk." Old man Su got off the bed, put on his shoes, and went out with his hands behind his back.
Old Mrs. Su looked at Old Man Su's back and knew that her old man was unhappy, but she didn't care.
Old man Su strolled along and unknowingly arrived at the foot of the mountain.
"Rustle, rustle..."
There was a noise in the grass not far away.
Old Man Su looked over quickly.
A gray rabbit jumped out.
Old Man Su's eyes lit up.
He bent down, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it at the rabbit.
The rabbit panicked and bumped its head against a big tree in front of it - it couldn't move.
For the first time in his life, Old Man Su witnessed the story of waiting for something to happen.
Just as I was about to go over to pick up the rabbit, I heard noise again not far away.
"Rustle, rustle..."
"Gulp..."
Two or three rabbits rushed over quickly, with a few pheasants fluttering behind them.
It is most appropriate to describe the current situation as a scene of chaos.
Old Man Su’s eyes widened.
This is all meat!
However, when he looked back, his pupils suddenly shrank.
Wild boar!
He finally understood why the rabbit and pheasant ran away.
It turned out that there was a wild boar behind.
Old Man Su turned around and ran away.
If such a strong wild boar hit him, it would probably kill him immediately.
Old Man Su is not confident that he can fight a wild boar with his bare hands.
The wild boar also discovered Old Man Su. Perhaps it thought that Old Man Su was big and easy to bully, so it rushed directly towards Old Man Su.
Old Man Su knew that he could not outrun the wild boar.
He gritted his teeth, aimed at a big tree in front of him that was so thick that two people could hug it, and ran straight into it.
Of course he wouldn't run into a tree.
He was inspired by seeing a rabbit hit a tree.
At the critical moment, Old Man Su suddenly dodged to the side.
Then--
There was a loud "bang!"
The big tree shook violently.
The wild boar's fat body fell to the ground.
Old Man Su didn't dare to hesitate. He picked up a big rock on the ground and smashed it on the wild boar's head.
Old Man Su threw away the stone only after he had beaten the wild boar until it was completely out of breath.
His legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
His clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
Old man Su was breathing heavily.
Then, a huge surprise came over me.
There’s meat at my daughter’s full moon banquet!
**
The news that Old Man Su had hunted a big wild boar spread quickly in Daliushu Village like a gust of wind.
The old Su family once again topped the list of entertainment gossip in Daliushu Village.
Daliushu Village was in an uproar.
Whether they were envious, jealous, envious, or sincerely congratulating, they all ran to Lao Su's house to see the wild boar.
"Old Su, you are so awesome! How did you hunt such a big wild boar?" Old Master Wang asked in amazement.
"Nothing much, just good luck." Old Man Su was low-key and modest, laughing, "The wild boar hit the tree by itself, and I just took advantage of it."
Mr. Wang: “…”
"Show off! Just show off!"
After Mr. Wang finished speaking, he knocked on his pipe angrily.
I have to say that Old Man Su's words really aroused enough hatred.
If you go through untold hardships and risk your life to hunt a wild boar weighing several hundred pounds, others will envy you but also feel secretly jealous.
But what Old Man Su said, isn't it obvious that it makes people feel unbalanced?
How come we can’t find such a big leak at home?
Old Mrs. Su was sitting on the kang holding little Tangbao. When she heard the conversation in the yard, she couldn't help but shake her head and laugh.
My old man seems low-key on the surface, but he is actually very arrogant inside.
Little Tangbao blinked his eyes and thought to himself, so this is what my dad is like.
