Steamed buns, go farming with your mother

Chapter 2 Confinement
Time passed quietly, and before I knew it, the sun was already westward, and the sky in the west was shining brilliantly.

"Tomorrow will be a fine weather," Wang said softly, glancing at the sky, and then put the child who was full and asleep on the bed, took the bowl, and led the sheep to get up and go out.After a while, there was a faint sound of lighting a fire and boiling water in the yard outside.

Su Ho came back to his senses, looked at the sleeping child beside him, and felt a burst of satisfaction in his heart: This is my child.Su Ho came across by accident and took possession of this woman's body. Blood is thicker than water. This body was pregnant in October or September. The hard work during the period is self-evident, but the closeness of the body to the child cannot be concealed. Su Ho did not experience the pain of pregnancy, but Su Ho did feel the pain of childbirth.After giving birth to a child, the feeling of being a mother is so strange.

From what Suho saw and heard after time travel, I can feel how difficult it is for a poor family to give birth to a healthy child.And for an incomplete family, this child is the hope and future of this suffering family.Now, Su Ho is in this strange age and is not familiar with the place of life. She doesn't know whether the etiquette here is the same as in ancient China, which is very harsh on women.Or, for a married woman, a child would make her life a bit more enjoyable, without so much gossip.

Su Ho looked around the house, and once again understood what a family is like. Maybe life will be difficult in the future, but she has never been an irresponsible person. There are sons and mother-in-law here. Compared with the divorced couple in modern society Yes, only caring about her parents, she felt that life here would be more meaningful, at least, she knew what she wanted.Good days are made by people, she believes in herself.

The wind blew across the yard, bringing with it a smell of food. After not eating for a day, Su Ho felt hungry.Just thinking about it, Mrs. Wang came in with a bowl: "He'er, are you hungry? This day, I just took care of the children and got so busy that I forgot about you. Come on, drink this bowl of egg soup to replenish your body." !"

Su Ho felt that he was hungry, so he was not polite. He took the bowl and drank it in small sips. After a while, the bowl of soup was drained. With something to rest his stomach, Su Ho felt much better.

Looking at Su Ho who was drinking soup with her head down, Wang felt that this daughter-in-law was a bit different, she felt a little more generous, with an inexplicable aura about her, she was no longer a shy little daughter-in-law who dared not look at others It looks like, seeing Ergou's daughter-in-law, I can still laugh, but I used to bow my head and leave.Maybe it's because of the birth of a child. People often say that a mother is strong. That's it. Wang didn't think too much about it, but she felt very relieved. She really loves this daughter-in-law. What's more, they may be just a few of them in the future. depend on each other.

Su Ho raised his head and saw Wang Shi looking at him lovingly. His heart felt sour, but he was also moved. In modern times, parents get married on the spur of the moment, and having him is even more of an accident. He has never had such things. This woman really loves her daughter-in-law, like a daughter.Although she knew that she was not her original daughter-in-law, Su Ho still couldn't help but yearn for this warmth. From now on, I, Su Ho, will be your daughter-in-law, and I will respect you as my own mother. Out: "Mother-in-law, from now on, can I call your mother? I will find a way to support you and the children! You are my real mother!"

Wang's heart was shocked, but tears quickly filled her eyes. Since her son disappeared, how long has it been since no one called her mother: "Good boy, my good daughter, my old Wang family is sorry for you, it is my Douzi who is sorry You."

"Mother, don't say that, I will honor you well in the future, and honor you with my father-in-law." Seeing the old man like this, Su Ho hurriedly comforted him.

"Mom, you haven't eaten yet, why don't you go to eat first, turn around, and tell me about your husband." Su Ho was also curious about what kind of person he married: "There are so many things that I have forgotten .”

"Okay, He'er, you should rest for a while and recover. A woman loses the most by having a baby." In order to cover up her gaffe, Wang wiped away her tears and went out while talking.

At this time, the sun has gone down, leaving only a trace of the afterglow of the setting sun in the whole sky.Su Ho took another look at the sleeping soundly child, tiredness welled up in his heart, and he fell asleep unconsciously.

Mrs. Wang watched Yu Hui eat a bowl of wild vegetable paste, cleaned up the dishes, and went into the house.Pushing open the door, seeing that Su Ho had fallen asleep, and seeing the child nestled aside, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

Mrs. Wang stepped forward to tuck the blanket for Su He, then turned around and went out the door, and entered another room.It turned out that there were two thatched houses in this small yard. Before, Su Ho and his wife lived in one, and Wang lived in one. Now that Wang Douzi is missing, Su Ho and his children lived in the other room.

After Mrs. Wang returned to her room, she brought hot water, washed her face and feet, took the sheep to her room, and fed it with a handful of grass. Then, she counted the remaining silver around her by the moonlight, feeling worried for a while. , became a gold hairpin, and only got eight renminbi in exchange for a sheep with milk, and spent five renminbi, leaving three renminbi, but the family had no food left, and the child was still young, so he couldn’t live without someone to take care of him. He is still in confinement, how can life at home continue.Mrs. Wang thought for a while, but had no idea, so she had to sleep first.

Su Ho felt that he had only slept for a while, and was woken up by the crying of the child. He opened his eyes suddenly, and saw that the room was pitch black, and the crying of the child in his ears became louder. After a while, I remembered that this is not the era of drunken lantern riddles.He quickly picked up the child, but he didn't quite understand why the child was crying. After all, it was Su Ho's first time raising a child.After thinking for a while, Su Ho touched the baby's diaper first, and found that it was not wet. Then he guessed that the baby was probably hungry, but he didn't have any milk. What should he do?
The first cry of the child woke Wang up. There was no oil lamp at home, and rural people were used to smearing and working. She guessed that the child was probably hungry, so she hurriedly dressed and got up, and squeezed the child by the moonlight. Take a bowl of goat milk and go to Suho's room.As soon as he entered the door, he saw Su Ho's bewildered look. Recalling when he was young, he felt pity for this daughter-in-law even more. Old man Wang treated her very well.

"The child is hungry, give him some milk!" Mrs. Wang took the child from Su Ho who was in a hurry, and carefully fed the milk to the child. The child smelled the milk and ate vigorously.

"He'er, look, you don't know how to take care of the child, why don't you put the child in my room at night?"

"Mom, you're getting old, you don't sleep well, and you're so tired during the day, let the child stay with you, so you don't even want to rest at night, let me come, just teach me!" Su Ho I feel sorry for the elderly, and I am afraid that the children will make the elderly suffer.

"It's okay," Wang said with a big hand: "Why, are you afraid that Mother will rob your child? Don't worry, Mother will only help you with it at night, and you can bring it yourself during the day! Mother is old, and I am used to tiredness."

"Mom, I didn't mean that!"

"Okay, He'er, let's take the confinement first. Only when the confinement is completed, women will get better! These few days, let me take care of the child. He is my precious grandson!"

Hearing what Wang said, Su Ho couldn't say anything more, so he had to agree.So, holding the child in her arms, Wang turned around and went back to her room.

Su Ho couldn't sleep anymore, the situation in this family is not optimistic.She opened her eyes and looked at the stars in the sky through the sparse gaps, but she planned in her heart how to inquire about the information here tomorrow, and unconsciously, she fell asleep again!
Su Ho woke up in the midst of birdsong. When he opened his eyes, it was already broad daylight. When he wanted to get up, he found the child lying beside him. The skin on the child's face had already parted, and he was quiet. Lying on the ground, it seemed that he had just eaten, so he slept soundly.

When Mrs. Wang opened the door and came in, she saw Su Ho lovingly looking at the child. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the roof, making it even more charming.

"Mother, wake up so early?" Su Ho looked up and saw Mrs. Wang standing at the door with a bowl in her hand, wondering what she was thinking.

"It's getting late, come, let's eat first." Mrs. Wang handed the bowl to Su Ho, and Su Ho took the bowl and asked, "Mom, have you eaten yet?"

"I got up early, eat first, eat quickly, it will be cold later." Wang said hehe.

Hearing this, Su Ho lowered his head and looked, oh my god, what is this: a bowl of thick boiled paste, with a few chopped vegetable leaves floating on it, it smells like a strange smell: "Mother, this What is it, we eat this every day?"

Mrs. Wang looked at Su He: "Yeah, the family is poor and can't afford food. The previous food has been eaten. He'er, I have wronged you. You are suffering like an old woman like me. Don't worry, mother will go to the town to buy some food tomorrow and come back .”

When Su Ho heard this, he quickly said: "Mom, it's okay, it will be fine in the future!" Then he lowered his head and drank the mush, thinking to himself, it's better not to sit for this confinement period, since he has nothing to do every day, and he doesn't have any nutritional supplements. I can't make up for the loss in my body. I'm still weak today, so I'll get up early tomorrow to work, so as to reduce Wang's burden.I was thinking about something, and I was really hungry, but I didn't think how unpalatable the weird taste was.

"By the way, mother, tell me about my husband and father-in-law!" Su He inquired about the situation while eating.

"Eat it first, if it's not good, eat more, mother will tell you slowly!" Wang said, glancing at Su Ho.Su Ho chuckled, looked at Wang Shi, and waited for her to speak slowly.

Looking at Su Ho's dark eyes, Wang said helplessly, "You really can't remember?"

"Mother, can I still lie to you?" Su Ho said, "Just talk about it!"

"Okay, I'll tell you." Sitting down beside Su Ho's bed, Mrs. Wang slowly talked about the past.
