Chapter 400 Not so good

Pomegranate had a rare late nap, and when he woke up, the sun was already halfway up in the sky.

After washing up and entering the pavilion, Xichun immediately brought him a bowl of fermented glutinous rice and eggs.

Laozao is a good thing. Have a bowl of it in the morning. The poached eggs are cooked thoroughly, leaving a little bit of sweet core inside. When you bite it open, the sweet core flows out. The taste is amazing.

It is also filled with small dough pieces squeezed out of brown sugar and glutinous rice flour. Each one is soft, sticky and sweet. When you scoop a few of them into your mouth with the soup, they are so delicious.

Pomegranate curved his eyes in satisfaction.

"Big sister, are they gone?"

"They left early in the morning with your elder brother and the others. Unlike you, you slept until your butt was exposed to the sun." Song came in carrying Baozhu, sat down opposite Shiliu, and looked at her angrily.

"It's not like I often sleep in." Pomegranate snorted and scooped up a small dumpling to tease Baozhu.

The child didn't know what was good or bad. When she saw her aunt feeding her, she opened her mouth and wanted to take the food.

Shi Liu quickly turned the spoon in her hand and fed it to her own mouth. "This has wine in it. Children can't eat it."

Baozhu opened her mouth but got nothing to eat and was stunned. She then pouted and started crying.

Song was busy coaxing her and asked Xichun to bring the steamed egg custard over quickly.

Baozhu, who had been crying loudly, finally calmed down when the egg custard came to her mouth.

Shi Liu shook her head as she watched, "Baozhu's crying is so destructive."

"What kind of killing power?" Song didn't understand. "This child has a loud voice. Her crying can be heard at the entrance of the village. Fortunately, she is a girl. If she was a boy, she would be dead when she could walk."

Shi Liu glanced at Bao Zhu, her lips curved, thinking that her mother was really naive. Who said that the boy was naughty? In her opinion, Bao Zhu's ability to destroy the house was not bad at all, just wait and see.

After drinking all the fermented glutinous rice soup in the bowl, Shiliu put down the bowl, and Xichun came up quietly to take it away.

"Where are the grandparents?"

Song wiped Baozhu's mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Your grandfather has gone to your great uncle's house for a stroll, your grandmother has gone to the old house, and your eldest cousin's wife seems to be about to give birth."

Shou'er is two years old now. Jiang, who was pregnant again last year, calculated that the baby is due in these few days.

"It's not comfortable to be in confinement in this weather."

"Who said it wasn't? Your eldest cousin's wife gave birth to Shou Ge'er in this month. She was in confinement and had prickly heat all over her body. After this, she didn't choose the right date for the second child and it happened to be this month again."

Song continued to feed Baozhu a mouthful of egg custard, but Baozhu grabbed the cloth button on her chest and wouldn't let go. She tried to pull it out gently but failed, so she just let her do it, as the cloth button couldn't be pulled off anyway.

Shi Liu's mouth twitched slightly when she heard this. She thought that she could still control the pregnancy. It was not like in the future where she could avoid pregnancy.

However, it is really uncomfortable to have confinement in hot weather.

"I'm going to the old house." Shi Liu said as she stood up, only to see Bao Zhu grabbing the cloth button and stuffing it into her mouth. She quickly reached out and grabbed it, "Oh, this little girl, she dares to put anything into her mouth."

Mrs. Song was also shocked when she saw it. "This child is too strong. He can even pull the cloth button off for me!"

Baozhu, who had frightened her grandmother and aunt, was still waving her hands and trying to snatch back the cloth button that Shiliu took!

Song hurriedly handed the collar to Baozhu. After grabbing the red, green and yellow collar, Baozhu stopped making a fuss and forgot about the cloth button.

Shi Liu breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head, saying that taking care of a child was really tiring.

"Mother, why don't we transfer two maids from the farm to help take care of Baozhu, so you can have some relief."

Song glared at her and said, "Isn't it a grandmother's duty to take care of her grandchildren? There's no way you'll be tired."

After hearing this, Shi Liu was no longer in a hurry to go to the old house and sat down again. "Mom, what you said is wrong. Who said that taking care of grandchildren is a right? There is no such thing as a right in this world. You should enjoy the happiness of raising your children--"

As she spoke, seeing that Song didn't understand, Shi Liu became angry. Yes, her idea was too advanced and her mother would definitely not understand it.

Sighing, Shi Liu changed her words, "Even if it's right, but, mother, our family is not short of money now. There are many people in the farm. If there was enough room at home, I would have transferred more people back. Look at those rich families, who takes care of the children themselves? Aren't there a lot of maids and servants?
Not taking care of the child yourself doesn't mean that you don't love the child. She is in front of you every day, and you can hold her whenever you want. But Baozhu is so heavy to hold in your hands. How tired would you be to hold her in your arms every day? Wouldn't it be better to have someone to help you take over and save some effort?

Besides, my sister-in-law is going to give birth to her second child soon. Will you be able to handle it by then? Now find someone to help take care of Baozhu. Once Baozhu gets to know her, you will be able to help her by then."

The last sentence is a sure kill, "Everyone in the village is our family, so you can just leave them there if you don't need them, right?"

After hearing this, Song thought about it and realized that it made sense. In those wealthy families, who would personally take care of the people? Don’t they have maids and old women to help?
If you are strong but not alert, your brain will not work well.

The people in the village were all bought with money!
Thinking of this, and looking at the chubby Baozhu, Song also felt her arms sore.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Shi Liu smiled and said hurriedly, "I'll ask Zuo Cheng to run a trip later! Okay, mother, you feed her first. I'm going to the old house now!"

With that, Shi Liu left the room and went out in a gust of wind. Song realized later that she had something important to tell Shi Liu, and hurried to call her, but seeing that she had disappeared, she shook her head and said she would wait until she came back.

The bowl of egg custard was finally finished. Song wiped Baozhu's mouth and looked up to see Lin coming out of the house.

After she entered the pavilion, Song told her that Shi Liu wanted to find two maids from the farm to help take care of Baozhu.

When Lin heard this, she smiled and said, "You are really thoughtful, little aunt. Baozhu is so restless, and it is really tiring for you to take care of her alone. It would be good if someone could help take care of her. This is because I am pregnant. Otherwise, I can't always tire you out."

Song smiled and said, "Baozhu is my granddaughter, how can she be tired? When the maid comes, she will help me during the day. At night, I will sleep with Baozhu. I am used to it. If I don't sleep with Baozhu, I will not be able to sleep."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed things in a harmonious atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Shi Liu also arrived at the old house.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Shouger squatting in the yard playing with mud. Xiangger, who was almost one year old but could already walk on his own, was also sitting beside them, playing happily. He spread a ball of grass on the ground and was not afraid of getting his clothes dirty.

Sanni, who is seven years old this year, is responsible for watching over the two of them so that they don't run around, fight, or eat mud.

Li Chunfang is now the manager of the Sheep Workshop. Last year, twelve-year-old Dani also started working in the workshop, specializing in knitting small items such as woolen socks. The mother and daughter earn a lot of money each month.

Erni is responsible for taking care of housework at home, while Sanni, who is the youngest, spends more time playing.

It doesn't matter where she goes, so Li Chunfang asked her to come to the old house every day to help take care of the two children.

At the old house, Yang Mei got married last year, Yang Tao also works in the sheep workshop, Jiang and Wan both work in the workshop, Li Rongsong and Li Rongbai deliver goods to the city every few days, and they also have to take care of the fields at home, so they really don't have much time.

Before that, Jiang's belly was not noticeable and she did not take maternity leave, so her two sisters-in-law took them to the workshop to work while they looked after them, or sent them to old Yuan to help take care of them.

When Jiang grew up, she was the one who looked after the children at home, and Sanni came over to play with them and help take care of them.

It's inconvenient if there is no elder in the house.

"Sister Pomegranate."

When seeing Shi Liu, San Ni started to call her sweetly. In fact, she liked Shi Liu very much. Her eyes were as bright as light bulbs.

To be honest, there is no child in the village who doesn’t like pomegranates.

Pomegranate was generous and often bought candy for them to eat.

Two-year-old Shou Ge'er looked up when he heard the voice and greeted Shi Liu in a baby voice, "Auntie Shi Liu."

As for Xiang Ge'er, who was almost one year old, he looked up and continued to play with the mud. Although he could walk early, he still couldn't speak well.

Shi Liu handed the walnut cake in her hand to San Ni, and asked her to take Shou Ge'er and his brother to wash their hands and eat together, while she strode inside.

Li Rongsong, who was serving as the gatekeeper outside the house, saw her coming and called out "Shi Liu", but he looked a little unwell.

Shi Liu knew that he was worried about Jiang, so she greeted him and went into the house.

In the east room, Jiang was lying on the bed with a bad look on her face, crying out in pain, while her sixth aunt-in-law was touching her belly.

"Shi Liu, why are you here?" When Old Yuan saw Shi Liu coming in, she hurried outside, took Shi Liu with her and was about to go out.

The eldest granddaughter-in-law's fetal position is not good, and the sixth sister-in-law is correcting her fetal position.

Shi Liu, an unmarried girl, felt bad seeing this scene.

Shi Liu only had time to take a quick look before being pulled out of the house. "Grandma, how is my cousin's wife? Is she okay?"

That scene was not easy to see, but it was okay to talk about it. My granddaughter was different from ordinary people and was more knowledgeable after all.

Old Mrs. Yuan sighed, "The fetal position is not very good. Let's see if your sixth aunt can correct it. If not, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult."

Shi Liu was also shocked when she heard this. Dystocia is a life-threatening matter. She originally wanted to think about it. Why not move to the farm before the birth? It would be cooler there, and when the baby is born, she could stay there to recuperate, which would be much more comfortable.

Unexpectedly, Jiang's fetal position was not good.

Li Rongsong, who was standing by, turned pale and kept walking around like an ant on a hot pan.

"It will be fine. If Sixth Uncle's wife can't come, I will ask Zuo Cheng to go to the city and invite the best midwife in the city!"

My sixth aunt has been performing births for most of her life. She is old now after all. There is no shortage of good midwives in the city.

After she said that, Old Mrs. Yuan and Li Rongsong looked a little better, hoping that Mrs. Jiang was okay.

Old Yuan turned around and went back in. Shi Liu glanced at Li Rongsong and saw that he was absent-minded, so she simply said, "Brother, let's go to the main hall and sit down. I have something to tell you."

Although Li Rongsong was worried about his wife, since Shi Liu wanted to find him for something, he still took heavy steps and followed her.
