"When is the Juren exam?"
"After half a month, I might have to stay up late every day for the next half month."
"Xiao, you should focus on your own things first. The crops at home are about to be harvested in the autumn."
"It will take a while. The crops are growing very well this year. Dad and Grandpa Qian go to check on them once or twice every day. We are sure to have a bumper harvest this year."
He had never grown crops, having never owned a plot of land since childhood. But after watching them struggle for the past few years, he probably figured it out.
The crops in that year were particularly good, and the fish grew very well.
"When you are out of confinement, Dad plans to invite the governor to visit our home."
"To see the crops?"
“Well, and the fish in the rice paddies.”
Women have blood in their blood during the confinement period, so it is not customary to invite outsiders to their homes, except for close relatives.
On the day she was released from confinement, Zhao Xiaoyu took two of her personal servants to take a bath for the entire morning.
Song had been urging her outside the door, telling her not to take so long to wash for the first time. In fact, she wanted her daughter to wait before washing, but she couldn't bear it.
At least two pounds of mud were washed off her body, and her hair was washed countless times. Xiao Liu spent a full hour combing her hair.
Comfortable!
After coming out, I felt much more relaxed.
"Finally I'm alive!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? You've been showering since early morning and now it's almost time to eat."
"Mom, you don't know how hard it is to be in confinement in the summer. No, even if it wasn't summer, I wouldn't be able to bear being dirty for so long. Did you see the water I just carried out? It was all black the first time."
Song looked at her with amusement, "Who would dislike being dirty? Why didn't you say anything when you were even dirtier? You didn't take a bath for the whole winter, and your head was full of lice and fleas..."
"Mom, stop talking. I'm getting goosebumps."
I don’t want to think about the nightmares of the past. I wonder if the people living in the village are cleaner now. They were really careless in the past.
"Look how particular you are. Hurry up and go eat. Everyone is waiting for you."
There was no full moon party. There was nothing much to do in the city because I didn't know anyone. I wanted to invite the teacher's family to have some fun, but I thought that he would take exams soon and time was precious. He must be studying hard every day, so they didn't want to disturb him.
"I feel a little sorry for Yuanbao. His house wasn't very lively during the full moon."
"That's nothing. Even if you invite a thousand people over now, he won't know what a commotion is. He might even be annoyed by someone disturbing his sleep."
Song knew her daughter's personality. She didn't care about these things at all and was only interested in holding a banquet.
"Let's go, Mom. Let's go eat! I haven't seen Dad for a month, and I miss him so much."
"Your father talks about you every day."
"father!"
"My daughter! You've finally made it!" Zhao Dashu looked his daughter up and down. "Why haven't you gained weight? That shouldn't be the case. Did Xiao Lei swallow all the soup you drank during the confinement period?"
My daughter hasn't gained weight at all, but my son-in-law has at least grown a lot bigger.
Xiao Lei was so uncomfortable that he didn't even dare to look at his father-in-law. His father told him the truth. During the confinement period, his wife didn't want to eat anything, so his father-in-law made her eat it, and it all went into his stomach.
After a month, he ate so much meat and soup that he could feel his clothes were too tight and he had gained weight.
"Xiao Lei, did Xiaoyu not eat anything during the confinement period? Why isn't she gaining any weight?"
"No...no, I ate it."
My wife said she couldn’t say she didn’t eat it, she must have eaten it.
Zhao Xiaoyu couldn't bear to look at Xiao Lei. Didn't his guilty look tell everyone that he had eaten postpartum food?
"Dad, I ate it. Maybe I was born with a low body type and didn't gain any weight. But Xiao Lei also helped me eat a little bit, just a little bit.
Think about it, even a pig can't eat that much for six meals a day, and I lie in bed all day long. How can I eat? Who can eat that much? But I still eat a lot. Doesn't the child need milk too?
