The familiar confinement lady was basically Chen's mother, and Su's mother also came to help.
After a month, she refused to end her confinement life no matter what, even if her mother tried to stop her.
"You little bitch, there are so many people in the village who want to do it but can't. And you're asked to do it for half a month. It's like your life is wasted?"
Su Xia rolled her eyes, took off her hat, pointed at her greasy hair, and shouted helplessly: "If you don't wash it, I will give you a hair-cutting ceremony?"
Su's mother was also speechless, "Is it as serious as you say?"
"Of course, my scalp itches every night now, and I wish I could pull it off!" Su Xia gritted her teeth.
Which good person can bear not washing his hair for a month? When I gave birth to my baby, I couldn't help it and washed his hair on the 20th day, but it was Chen Jianguo who helped me wash it.
I made some ginger water specially for this purpose. After washing them, I used a charcoal basin to roast them dry.
Why--
If Chen Jianguo were here, she wouldn't have to endure it.
I couldn't help scratching my head again, I didn't want to look at my nails in disgust, there must be scalp inside.
'Pooh--
Who told you to watch people making noises and see premature births? Next time you watch the noise again, I will make you the one making noise! "Mother Su got angry when she thought of this. She looked at Su Xia unhappily.
What should Su Xia do? This matter has been talked about for a month, and she can't even beg for mercy. She keeps calling "Mom" affectionately and hugging him.
In the end, Su's mother was in tears and laughed. In the end, she had to boil water, but fortunately, it was already May and not cold.
Su Xia fought for her rights, put on her shoes and went to the bathroom in a hurry. Su's mother poured hot water on the side and then drove her out directly.
"Erbao is still in the room!" Su's mother was still worried about her grandson when she heard this. Besides, there was nothing to worry about with Xia Xia.
Su Xia happily poured a basin of water, took off her clothes and pants, and started to scrub. She scrubbed her wrinkled face and washed it briefly.
Change into clean clothes, then refill the water and start washing your hair.
After washing twice and applying twice in a row, the scalp will be re-traced.
Su Xia wrapped her hair with a towel, looked around the kitchen, curled her lips, and went back to her room. No wonder mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law in later generations don't live together, their living habits are so different.
There is a layer of dough on the kitchen chopping board now, ugh——
In fact, this is also what Chen's mother and Su's mother clean every day. The kitchen they use is already very clean, okay?
Mother Su looked at Su Xia's new clothes and rolled her eyes. "Did you take a shower?"
Su Xia shook her head. "Just scrub it once and then soak it thoroughly after a while."
Su's mother didn't say anything. She changed the baby's diaper and then threw the whimpering baby into Su Xia's arms.
"Feed him, don't let my grandson starve!" Mother Su went out with a diaper.
Su Xia decided to feed the second baby first. The baby in her arms is now plump and white, and it is obvious that he is getting enough milk.
I don’t know what Chen Jianguo is like?
…
Chen Jianguo on this side was also thinking about Su Xia, and asked his colleagues to exchange a lot of things and prepare to send them back.
"Old Chen, I have more here!" The door frame was pushed open, and he looked at Ding Xueming who came in.
Chen Jianguo muttered again speechlessly, "Why don't you knock on the door every time?"
"꾿——-
There's not many people around, why are you knocking?" Ding Xueming said indifferently.
Then he excitedly put down the thing in his hand and said, "Take a look, is it a good thing?"
Chen Jianguo looked over curiously, then looked at his brother in surprise.
"Where did you get this?"
Ding Xueming chuckled, "Not bad, a fellow villager got it from me!"
This was also the first time Chen Jianguo saw this thing. Although he had seen it before, it was not as complete as this one.
On the cotton cloth in the middle lay something that looked like a small carrot.
And it even has roots. "Don't look at it as small, but it's just right for sister-in-law. If it's any bigger, it will be too weak to be replenished!"
Chen Jianguo nodded, "How much is this?"
He looked at his brother and said, "This is a must, or else you can keep it for yourself?"
Ding Xueming nodded. "This is 10-year-old ginseng, 20 yuan. But you have food coupons, so I'll give you half of them."
Chen Jianguo nodded, carefully put the things away, and prepared to find a box to pack them and send them over.
Then he took out money and food coupons from the cabinet and handed them to Ding Xueming.
"Why do you return the food coupons?"
Ding Xueming sighed when he heard this. "Recently, things have been bad. Many people have been transferred, some to remote places. Did the engineer Shen go home in a hurry? I don't know what happened to him in the end."
Chen Jianguo paused and looked at Ding Xueming in shock, wondering how come he didn't know.
Then listen to Ding Xueming explain it carefully.
"You mean classes have been suspended in many places?"
"Elementary and junior high schools are still going on, some high schools have stopped, but the school has stopped classes!"
"Students went on strike, teachers and professors were attacked, and there was a group of Red Guards who made trouble every now and then. Some people were dragged into the streets and criticized..."
The more Chen Jianguo listened, the heavier his heart became. However, he heaved a sigh of relief when he remembered that his ancestors were all poor peasants from the countryside.
Why--
"There was a big uproar when the production started, but it only affected the countryside. I didn't expect it to affect the city now!"
After listening to Lao Chen's words, Ding Xueming thought about what happened before and realized that he was indeed in trouble.
"Okay, send it over when you have time. I never thought that one day I would be glad that I was a poor peasant!"
Chen Jianguo also felt the same way. When he was looking for treasures, he didn't have the same mood as before. He used to think that he had just graduated from junior high school, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch up with Shen Tianshi, who was a student. He didn't think...
Su Xia had no idea about the rumors on Chen Jianguo's side. The village was calm now, and the school was also in the village. As for the county town, there might be some, but because of its small size, there were naturally fewer troubles.
In the evening, Chen's mother also came over, mainly to discuss things with Su Xia.
"Full moon? Who said it was held?" Su Xia asked in surprise.
Chen's mother was also angry, because it was all about the men in the family.
"When my husband came back before, he didn't drive here. People from the village came to watch the fun. You and I talked back and forth. When we sent him away, we asked him to come back when the baby is one month old."
Su Xia was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then looked at the second baby in her arms.
"But mom, we didn't do it for our first baby, and now we're doing it for our second baby, what will our first baby think?"
"this?……"
Mother Chen didn't think about this. She looked at Su Xia and then at Mother Su.
Su's mother also felt that it didn't matter whether it was done or not.
Su Xia thought for a moment and said, "How about this, Mom, can you boil some eggs and dye them red? Then ask Father Chen to bring two eggs to Erbao's house, as a token of blessing for Erbao."
"That's fine. Jianguo is not at home, so it's just right for Bao, the eldest son, to come forward." Su's mother said with surprise.
Chen's mother also thinks this is a good idea.
She could see that this old daughter-in-law just didn't like the mess in Xia Huan's house.
Su Xia was also satisfied. All the villagers came over to look at this and that. What if the family’s livestock got sick?
So on the day of the full moon, Su's mother and Chen's mother boiled 60 eggs together, and then wiped them with red paper. Although it was not completely red, it looked much better than before.
Su Xia took a look and the corners of her mouth twitched. The grinding was really uneven, with patches here and there, but it looked like it was stained with red spots.
Then Father Chen took a shoulder pole and picked up two baskets of eggs, but the excited Baobao left.
"I didn't expect that Baobao was quite happy?" Mother Su looked at her grandson's back, revealing her happiness.
"If I can't be happy, I want to be a human being."
Mother Chen went back to feed the pigs. She had been feeding the pigs for a month since she went to school and was in confinement. However, the feed was fermented in advance by Su Xia, which was also very convenient.
Even if someone else feeds the pigs now, Chen's mother is not happy. Seeing the pigs getting fatter day by day, she laughs more than anyone else.
Su Xia packed 10 red eggs, a pound of brown sugar, and a piece of white cotton cloth for Su's mother. This was the heaviest thing because Shen Jiaxue was about to die, and she needed diapers and small clothes for the child.
Su's mother didn't want to put it away when she came, but when she saw the cotton cloth, she didn't want to move her hands.
"You, you're wasting money again!"
Su Xia didn’t care. There were a lot of these things in the space, and they came in other colors.
"This is for you, just keep it. As for when Xiaoxue goes, I have my own preparations."
Mother Su nodded with relief, "Don't forget your father-in-law and mother-in-law. They have been suffering for this month."
