When Song Tanglan saw this scene, she was really speechless. Could she say that this kid was really ugly two days ago?
But she knew that even if she told her, Su Tao would not believe it. She had already determined that she was lying to her. She had no choice but to swallow this loss.
Song Tangcheng spoke up to help, "The little cub's face was red the day he was born, and he was so skinny and tiny, he really looked like a monkey. He was quite ugly."
Su Tao looked at Song Tangcheng, who was radiating maternal love, and couldn't help but believe what she said.
"Really?"
"Yes, Xiaotao, if you don't believe me, then find someone to marry, have a baby, and then you'll know for sure."
Song Tangcheng had been lying in bed for the past two days and was a little bored. At this time, he couldn't help but tease Su Tao, so as to see from her expression whether the two of them had made any progress.
It's a pity that it didn't go as she wished.
The two of them still didn't break the window paper. Although Su Tao liked Sun Jianhua and had a good impression of him, she hadn't realized it yet.
"Second sister Song, please stop teasing me," Su Tao has developed a thick skin since she was often teased. Now she is no longer like she was before and can remain calm without blushing.
"Has the little one got a name yet?"
"Not yet. The full name has to be handed over to the elders, and I haven't decided on a nickname yet." Song Tangcheng thought about it when he heard her question.
Song Tanglan also felt that naming was a brain-consuming task. Most people in the countryside called their children by their nicknames, but there was a saying in the countryside that people with nicknames were easier to raise.
So among a group of children, there are either Tiedan, Zhuzi, Huzi, Qiangzi, Xiaohua, Xiaocao, Xiaoya and the like.
"Second sister, you have to give yourself a nice nickname. You can't give yourself a nickname like Tiedan or Qiangzi."
Whenever I think about calling someone by their nickname in the future, a bunch of people like Qiangzi and Huzi will turn around and look at me. How embarrassing that scene would be.
"Hahaha, don't worry, I'm not an unreliable mother."
Her husband and mother-in-law also suggested that she give her child a name like this, but she refused. Many adults and children have such nicknames, and she doesn't want her child to be so casual.
"That's good."
Song Tanglan suddenly thought of something, so he ran back to the room, took out a dictionary, and the three of them began a heated discussion about the child's nickname.
It should be simple and sound good.
In the end, Song Tangcheng decided to name him Mumu. Trees have strong growth abilities, and she hopes he can thrive and become a responsible person.
When Song Tanglan heard the name, the corners of her mouth twitched, but seeing that her second sister liked it very much, she didn't say anything else.
…
During dinner, Song Tangcheng told Cheng Fangyuan the little boy's nickname.
"Ayuan, I've already picked a nickname for the little one. It's Mumu. What do you think?"
"Wife, whatever you think sounds good is fine. It just sounds a bit like a little girl's name. Wife, would you like to reconsider it?"
Cheng Fangyuan thought he should let his wife reconsider it and try his best for the sake of his son who was just a few days old.
As for the result, the brat can't blame his father in the future. Anyway, he has tried his best.
"It's nothing, it's just a tree. Who says it has to be named after a girl? Just call her Mumu."
Song Tangcheng thought of this name, but they spent an entire afternoon looking up the dictionary before finding it. It was such a good name, she would not change it.
Cheng Fangyuan could only mourn for his son in his heart.
…
They had dinner in the room. Because Song Tangcheng couldn't be exposed to the wind during her confinement, he would stay in the room with her every time they ate.
Seeing that his second brother-in-law tried to get his consent but failed, Song Tanglan suddenly felt a little sympathy for his little nephew who had not yet grown up.
Thinking about him growing up and being called Mumu, the scene is a little indescribable.
During Song Tangcheng's confinement period, many people came to visit with gifts. Even Su Tao came to see the baby for the first time with eggs and canned food.
In the countryside, families with better conditions will let their daughters-in-law stay in confinement after childbirth, but most people's family conditions are average, so they rest for a few days and then go back to work in the fields. When they learned that Song Tangcheng would have to stay in confinement for a month, many women who had given birth were very envious of Song Tangcheng.
But there are also many mothers-in-law who complain about being a spendthrift and say that having to take a month off after giving birth to a child will cost a lot of work points.
Aunt Li had heard a lot of gossip, but it was never mentioned in front of her, so she usually ignored it. But some people insisted on bringing it to her face.
How could she bear this? She was so angry that she started cursing. After she felt relieved, she turned around and left.
I went back and told it to my two daughters-in-law as a joke.
This was not the first time Song Tanglan had seen Aunt Li scolding people. As long as she didn't make Aunt Li angry, she was usually very gentle and easy to talk to.
A month is neither short nor long. Song Tanglan didn't do much with her friends during this month because there was a woman in confinement at home and a baby who was just born not long ago.
Mumu is very easy to take care of. Apart from crying when eating, drinking, defecating or urinating, he is usually very well-behaved. Maybe it is because he is still growing, he sleeps most of the time.
It’s just that his meal times are irregular, and he needs to drink milk almost every two hours.
Recently, Su Tao and his friends have been going up the mountain to pick mushrooms like crazy. Now they can find Hericium erinaceus and Agaricus argentatus on the mountain. Both are rare delicacies. There are also many wild fruits on the mountain that are ripe.
Xiaohu runs to the mountains after school every day. Whenever he has a harvest, he will give some to Song Tangcheng and visit his younger brother at the same time.
A month later, Song Tangcheng finally left the confinement period. She took a nice bath and washed her hair, which took more than two hours. She felt much more refreshed.
"It's so comfortable. I can finally take a shower and wash my hair. Lanlan, you must be hungry. I haven't cooked for a long time. Second sister will cook for you a delicious meal."
"Okay!" Song Tanglan answered boredly as he looked at the little guy who had just woken up.
She has been washing the little guy's butt and diapers a lot these days. If it weren't for the fact that children's faces cannot be pinched, she would have wanted to pinch them right now to vent her anger.
"What should we eat? Your brother-in-law picked a lot of mushrooms these days. Can you see if they are dried? If they are, bring them back."
Song Tanglan looked at the one-month-old baby and thought that since he couldn't roll over, there should be no danger, so she agreed.
I went straight to the yard and picked up the mushrooms drying in the winnowing basket and took a look. I found that they were completely dry. I touched the other two winnowing baskets and found that one of them was not dry yet. The rest could be collected.
They piled them all together with sticks and took out sacks to put them all in.
