Fragrant Spring - 422 Becoming a Dad

Liping's stomach hurts from time to time and sometimes gets better, but every time it gets better, the next time it hurts even more.At around nine o'clock in the evening, the amniotic fluid also broke, and I cried out in pain.Lin Hua's mother came in and out, ordering Lin Hua to boil water for a while, and urging Lin Hua's father to find scissors for a while.Although it was premature, it was not as difficult as imagined. Lin Hua had just boiled the water when he heard the cry of a baby coming from the room. Lin Hua's tense heart finally relaxed, and he threw away his hand The cigarette butts, only to realize that I do not know when, tears quietly left out.Looking at the ground, there were more than a dozen cigarette butts that he had smoked halfway and discarded.

Lin Hua's mother came out of the room and said to Lin Hua with a smile, "Here, I gave birth to a baby girl. I'm now a grandma."

Lin Hua said impatiently, "I'll go in and have a look."

Lin Hua's mother slapped Lin Hua with a smile, and said, "What's the hurry, help fetch water in, I'll carry the basin." Lin Hua's mother seemed to have thought of something again, grabbed Lin Hua, and asked: "How many do you take?" Here comes the antimony." The antimony is a coin, and the older people in Muwa Village call it that.

Lin Hua understands why mothers want coins. Muwa Village has this habit of putting a few coins in the basin for the first time, the third morning, the full moon, and the next year when the baby is bathed.Lin Hua didn't know what it specifically meant, but he only knew that since it was releasing money, it must be auspicious.Lin Hua quickly took out the money from his trouser pocket, and handed all the [-] cent, [-] cent and [-] cent coins to his mother.Just as Lin Hua wanted to fetch water, his mother snatched it over again, and his mother said, "I'll fetch water, you prepare three red envelopes, one for my sister (Lin Hua's daughter), and the other for Liping and Aunt Zhang, remember It's thirty-six cents."

This is another custom in Muwa Village. In Muwa Village, everyone pays attention to profit. Sanliu is established in some dynasty. Of course, the rich 36 can also.Today Lin Hua was happy, he didn't seal the thirty-six cents as his mother said, he sealed three six.Anyway, only one is for Aunt Zhang, and the rest are for my family members, which is like putting money from the left pocket to the right pocket.

After Lin Hua sealed the Lishi, she pushed open the door of the room and came in. She saw that Liping had changed into a new outfit, with a towel on her forehead, her face was a little pale, and she was lying quietly on the bed.Mother and Aunt Zhang were busy bathing the child. A few coins were sprinkled in the tub, shining brightly in the swaying water.It is said to be bathing the child, but in fact it is just to wipe it with a towel. The child is held in the palm of the mother, crying with eyes closed, and dancing with its little hands and feet, which is very cute.

Seeing Lin Hua coming in, Aunt Zhang said with a smile on her face, "Congratulations Hua Zi, you have won a daughter."

Lin Hua said: "A daughter is good, I want a daughter even in my dreams."

Since it was a premature birth, the Lin family had nothing to prepare, so they had to find Lin Hua's old blanket and wrap it up for the baby first.After the mother wrapped the baby with fidgety hands, Lin Hua took out the red see, stuffed one into the blanket, and said softly: "Baby, daddy gave you a red see, I hope you will be healthy and fast Grow up." As he spoke, he touched her small face.

Lin Hua's mother shook the baby gently, and said on behalf of the baby: "I see, our baby will grow up healthy and healthy, oh, baby is hungry, I want to eat grandma." The child was carried to Liping's side, and Liping was asked to breastfeed the child.

Lin Hua continued to distribute the red seeds to Aunt Zhang, and said, "Thank you so much."

Aunt Zhang naturally accepted it, she and Lin Hua politely said a few words and then helped to pour out the dirty water.In Muwa Village, children are very particular about pouring water for their first bath. It should not be poured into the road or gutter, but should be poured under a lush fruit tree.

After Aunt Zhang went out, only her mother was left in the room, and Lin Hua was not shy. In front of her mother, she leaned over and kissed Liping, and said, "My wife, I love you." It was stuffed under Liping's pillow.

Liping smiled happily. She was about to speak, but Lin Hua's mother said it first. Lin Hua's mother said: "It's what you mean, you didn't love Liping before."

Lin Hua also smiled, this time Lin Hua's words were taken away by Liping, Liping said: "Mom, Huazi has always loved me very much."

It's really strange to say that this woman is born prematurely, she will also have milk, and the milk will come as soon as the baby is born.Liping turned sideways, picked up her clothes and fed the baby.Although the child was born prematurely, he is still quite healthy. As soon as his mouth touches Liping's milk, he will suck it up by himself.And the crying stopped in an instant. I don't know if the sentence, "If you have milk, you are a mother," is appropriate here.

Lin Fen and Qiaoying came to Lin Hua's house together after they got the news from nowhere.As soon as Lin Fen entered the room, he asked, "Dad, did you give birth, is it a boy or a girl?"

A woman gave birth to a child and has not yet confinement. Except for her husband, most men do not enter her room.Lin Hua's father and Youcai were sitting in the main room smoking. Lin Hua's father was rarely happy. He said, "This child was not born by my father, but by Liping. Come in and have a look, and keep your voice down, so you don't disturb the child."

Qiaoying thumped Lin Fen on the back, smiled and said, "Look at how anxious you are, you can't even speak." As she spoke, she pushed Lin Fen into Lin Hua's room.

The child was full, and was lying quietly beside Liping, sleeping soundly.Seeing Lin Fen and Qiaoying, Liping bowed her body and whispered to Lin Hua, "Go get a bench for Fen and Qiaoying to sit on."

Qiaoying walked to the bed, didn't care about looking after the child, held Liping's hand, who was still very weak, and said, "You are so brave."

Liping smiled and said, "What kind of bravery is that? You will be brave in the future."

Lin Hua brought a bench and sat with his sister and Qiaoying. The three women were chatting. He just stared at his sleeping little daughter. Lin Hua really wanted to hug her, but he didn't know where to start.

At this time, my mother found an old hat for Liping to put on, and said: "Put this one on first, and I will go to the county seat tomorrow to buy you a new one."

There are so many customs in Muwa Village. Women must wear hats during the confinement period, and they must not wash their hair. It is said that it is to prevent headaches in the future. I don’t know if there is any scientific basis. Anyway, it has been passed down from generation to generation in the village. .Liping said: "You don't need to buy new ones. You will wear them for a month anyway. Buying new ones is a waste of money." Liping married Lin Hua's family and learned to be thrifty. This is part of the reason why Lin Hua's mother loves her so much. .

The more Liping was like this, the more Lin Hua's mother doted on her. She couldn't bear to underestimate such a sensible daughter-in-law.Lin Hua's mother said: "Why don't you buy it? After buying it, you can still wear it for your next child. Don't keep my old hat. This hat was from when I took Huazi. It's been more than 20 years."
