The pig's trotters continued to be served until Li Xiumei was discharged from the confinement period.
Li Xiumei, who ate and drank well, also became white and plump.
At this time, the curtain has been raised for spring plowing.
In this era, almost all labor was done by manpower, from repairing ridges, to turning the soil, to irrigation, seedling cultivation, transplanting rice, etc.
Li Xiumei has even more reason not to go to work because she has to take care of two children.
That day, Li Xiumei was taking He Wen to bask in the sun at the doorstep.
Liu Zhi is here again.
Liu Zhi was still annoyed recently, and just mentioned to He Dong that he should find some milk-inducing food for Li Xiumei occasionally.
He, on the other hand, buys pig's trotters every day.
Never mind that, it’s your own money after all.
I really don't know how I fell in love with this loser in the first place.
"Sister Xiumei, you're basking in the sun."
When Li Xiumei saw that it was Liu Zhi, she also smiled.
"Sister-in-law is here. Thanks to you for asking Dong Ge's brother to persuade him, I have never stopped eating these pig's trotters during my confinement period, and the baby is well fed."
After saying that, Li Xiumei weighed He Wen in her hand. He was almost as old as she was when she was two years old.
Liu Zhi took a look and found that it was true.
In just over half a month since we last met, He Wen has become plump and white. I guess He Wu has gained weight as well.
After searching everywhere but finding no one, he hurriedly asked, "Where is Brother Dong's son?"
"He Wu makes a fuss whenever he's in the sun, so I put him indoors."
Liu Zhi muttered to herself, "Oh, I knew Li Xiumei didn't care about her son. She even said he cries when exposed to the sun. Maybe she just doesn't want to be brought out."
"Then I'll go and hold the baby. My partner and I are also planning to have a baby. I'd like to hold your child and share in your joy." After saying that, Liu Zhi went into the house.
Who knew it would come out again after a while.
"Sister Xiumei, the child has defecated, go take care of it. You guys are the same, you didn't put a cushion under him, and the bed is all covered with it."
"Did he poop? It's okay, my mother-in-law will clean it up when she comes back. Let him lie down first."
Liu Zhi suppressed his anger and said, "This is not good. What if the child catches a cold? If that happens, Brother Dong will blame you for not taking good care of him, and I won't stand up for you."
Li Xiumei thought about it and it made sense. If you were sick, you would have to spend money on medicine and medical treatment. "I'll be right back. Please sit down first."
"Big sister, let me help you hold the baby."
Li Xiumei handed He Wen over.
After entering the house, Li Xiumei took a handkerchief, lifted the child's legs and began to wipe them.
When the cold towel touched his skin, He Wu burst into tears.
Liu Zhi, who was outside the door, rushed in in one step.
"Xiumei, I heard the child crying, so I came in to see if there was anything I could do to help you."
"Nothing, I'll just clean the child up. You can go out first, the room smells weird."
When Liu Zhi saw Li Xiumei roughly pulling He Wu's arms and legs, he felt like his heart was being pulled up.
"Why don't I come? I've taken care of children at my parents' house before, so I know how to take care of them."
When Li Xiumei heard this, she threw the towel away, took He Wen and went out.
Liu Zhi took the filthy towel, feeling a little disgusted, and muttered softly.
"Li Xiumei, you're so good! You didn't even bother to get some hot water to wash my child's bottom. This cold towel would freeze to an adult and make them cry out."
"Big sister, what did you say?" Li Xiumei poked her head out of the house.
"Oh, nothing, just wanted to ask if you had hot water."
"I don't know. Go look in the pot. My mother-in-law should have left some." Li Xiumei pointed to an earthen stove next to the house with a small clay pot on it.
Fortunately, there was still half a jar of water in it. I found a basin, added some cold water, and brought it into the house to wash the child's butt.
He Wu was picked up from the quilt. He groaned a few times, clenched his fists and twisted his body a few times.
"Oh, He Wu, be good. Mommy will go wash your butt."
"How come it's still so light? Damn Li Xiumei, you ate so many of my pig's trotters and didn't even feed my child properly. You deserve to be struck by lightning."
"I don't know what Ho Tung's mother thought of her child, stuffing him naked into the quilt. What a damn family."
In fact, Zhao Moli felt that the quilt at home was thicker and it was better to cover the child with it instead of wrapping him in a swaddling blanket. That was how He Min raised the child at the beginning.
Nonsense, how can it be the same? When He Min was born, it was a hot day. Even covering herself with a small towel was too hot.
After washing the child, I found that none of the child's clothes were found, even the swaddling blanket he was in when he was born was gone.
She was angry and opened the cabinet under the bed without thinking.
OK, isn’t this He Wu’s swaddling blanket? It turns out it was kept secret.
He Wen is just a little girl, but she only has two or three sets of clothes, and they will be out of shape in the blink of an eye. It’s a waste of money. I might as well buy some malted milk for my son.
After wrapping He Wu up, Liu Zhi took He Wu out to bask in the sun.
Comparing the two children, Liu Zhi felt that Li Xiumei's heart was too biased.
Her daughter is plump and white, but what about her son?
Not only was he extremely skinny, he was also covered in jaundice, but no one took him seriously.
Liu Zhi was getting angrier and angrier as she thought about how her own son had always wanted a child. She had the idea of taking the child back home. At worst, she could just tell him that he was adopted from his mother's family. He only had two days to live anyway.
Liu Zhi's parents' home is from Houhu Village, and her previous husband died.
As she had no children, she was sent back to her parents' home by her husband's family. Two years ago, she was married off to a new home in town.
But her husband was already an old man in his fifties or sixties, very sick and useless in that regard.
