reborn peasant mother

Chapter 82

Feng Yujiang really didn't know how these "unhappiness" came about, and how did the rules come about?She served her daughter-in-law in confinement in her previous life, and she heard from a doctor that there was no reason for so many "unhappiness".But now, Feng Yujiang has no one to talk about it.
Three days after the baby is born, it is customary to go to the mother's house to announce the good news.

When you give birth to a child to announce the good news, you have to bring red eggs and go to the door of your mother's house to set off firecrackers.Red eggs are boiled eggs and dyed with red pigment.Various canteens in the local rural areas will sell this kind of paint for dyeing red eggs. If you give birth to a girl, it will be dyed water red, and if you give birth to a boy, it will be dyed bright red.When the relatives and friends of the natal family see the red egg, they don't need to ask, they will know whether it is a boy or a girl.

The number of red eggs, the most auspicious is 99, but eggs are still a rarity these days, and farmers are not willing to eat eggs except for festivals. One egg can be exchanged for two boxes of matches at the supply and marketing cooperative!Ordinary people don't have that much financial resources, so they usually prepare nineteen, twenty-nine, thirty-nine red eggs, and the number with "nine" is enough.

According to Zhong's mother, no matter how good this old lady's family is, she is just a god-in-law who happened to recognize her, and there is no need to be so serious, but Feng Yujiang disagrees, because the old lady Sun's family really didn't take her seriously , good enough for her.

Zhong Jipeng has his own thoughts on this, the Sun family is powerful, and there is no disadvantage in associating with the Sun family. Besides, he really owes the kindness to Mrs. Sun. Instead of announcing the good news, he wants to leave a message for others to say, go, Not a bad thing.

Zhong Jipeng brought 39 red eggs and bought a large set of firecrackers, and went to Mrs. Sun's house to announce the good news.He went there early in the morning, and came back in the afternoon, obviously drunk, but he was not drunk. He couldn't be drunk. When he came back, he carried a basket on the back of the bicycle, and there were raw eggs in it as a gift from his mother's family!
Girls and girls announce the good news, and the mother's family gives gifts in return. This is the custom.Boiled red eggs are used for the good news, and raw eggs are used in return. People who love their daughters will give more eggs than the good news, and some will give two catties of millet and brown sugar.These things are all left for the daughter to eat during confinement.

Mrs. Sun's family brought back 69 eggs, five catties of millet, and four taels of pepper for Zhong Jipeng.

Maternal confinement, you can't eat this, you can't eat that, eggs and millet are the best nutrition.Eggs are boiled into poached eggs, brown sugar and pepper are added, and eaten with soup and water. There is a local term for this, called "egg tea".

Maternal eating pepper can drive away the cold, prevent the mother from catching cold, and protect the baby from having diarrhea after breastfeeding.Whether it makes sense, no one can tell, anyway, local women have to eat after giving birth.

No matter how evil Zhong's mother is, she still has to take care of her confinement for her daughter-in-law. This can be regarded as an unwritten local rule!Which family's mother-in-law does not serve the confinement for the daughter-in-law for no reason, it will be scolded.However, the method of serving confinement is quite different.
