Chapter 2002 It’s not alms, but friendship
The two little guys are very good at eating, especially the younger sister, who is like a little pig. The milk of a wet nurse is not enough for her alone.
Not only can she eat, but her sister is also very domineering. When the wet nurse is breastfeeding, she can only feed her. She eats one, and her little hands have to occupy one. As long as her brother comes to eat, she stretches out her arms and kicks her legs, but she can't squeeze him out. She also cries
I need to breastfeed every two hours or so. , she has to feed her at least eight times a day. As long as she wants to eat, she will cry at the top of her lungs if she doesn't get it into her mouth at the first time. If she is late for feeding, she will bite hard on purpose.
Where's my brother? , he is indeed naive, he is gluttonous and sleepy and loves to laugh. He can laugh in his sleep, and he will only grin when his sister kicks him.
In addition to being able to eat, the two little guys can also toss, eat, sleep, poop and pee. They need to change diapers at least ten times a day.
My brother is okay, he has a strong skin, and except for crying when he is hungry, he can accept everything else. He doesn’t cry when he pees or has a bowel movement.
My sister is not good. She is very delicate. She has to change her diaper once she wets it. She cries if she doesn’t change it. She also likes to be held in her arms when sleeping. She wakes up as soon as she puts her down and cries as soon as she wakes up. I like to be burped when I’m pregnant. I should do it before going to bed at night. Wash your butt.
Fortunately, Rich Man Li recruited four wet nurses. These four wet nurses not only breastfeed, but also take care of the little ones on a daily basis. The four wet nurses with rich parenting experience freed Zhu Pingan and Li Shu This pair of new parents.
Because she had four wet nurses, and in order to maintain her figure and recover after childbirth, Li Shu did not nurse the baby herself. This was also a common choice among wealthy families in this era.
First of all, feeding the baby is really tiring. I need to breastfeed eight times a day, eat four or five meals during the day, and have two or three night feedings at night. I also have to change the baby’s diapers more than ten times a day. It’s so tiring. Rich people can't afford to be so tired.
Rich families are not short of money, and the cost of hiring a wet nurse is just a drop in the bucket for them.
Secondly, not breastfeeding your child yourself will help you maintain your figure and help you recover faster after childbirth.
Also, a wealthy family pays attention to status, so it would be inappropriate for a young lady to take off her clothes and take care of her baby from time to time.
In addition, wealthy families have a lot of things to do in the back house. The housewife has to take care of the house and does not have much energy to take care of the baby.
Don’t worry about the relationship between mother and child. Just because you don’t breastfeed the baby yourself doesn’t mean you don’t care about the baby. After the wet nurse has fed the baby, bring him over and play with her. You can still develop feelings and grow up with your baby.
The relationship between parent and child is equally close.
"Brother Zhu, come and take a look. Look how soundly they sleep. Geez, they are still laughing in their sleep."
Li Shu and Zhu Ping'an were lying on the bed. On the big bed, it was rare to see the two little guys sleeping. Li Shu grinned from time to time when she saw the eldest son sleeping, and couldn't help but pull Zhu Pingan to admire it as if he had discovered a new world.
"Gee, the young master must be satisfied with the young lady and the master, and he is secretly happy in his dreams."
Hua'er and Qin'er giggled at the side.
“They all know how to reincarnate, and they don’t have to worry about food or drink. The young lady’s mother is a heavenly immortal, and the old man’s father is Wenquxing. There is no shortage of money in the house, and the old man is also a high official. Grandpa and uncle are Wealthy businessmen, they will have great blessings in the future." Qin'er said with her fingers, praising the two little guys for reincarnation.
At this moment, the brother who was sleeping on the bed grinned, as if he understood Qin'er's words and was enjoying himself secretly.
"Pfft, he understood, and he was having fun again." Hua'er saw it and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The room burst into laughter.
The younger sister on the side seemed to dislike the noise. She kicked her arms and legs impatiently in her sleep, curled her little lips, and started crying.
"Good boy, go to sleep, go to sleep, sleep peacefully, I won't bother you anymore." Li Shu's little hand gently patted her little butt through the quilt.
My sister liked this trick very much. After being patted twice on her butt, she fell asleep obediently. She also arched towards Li Shu like a little pig.
Li Shu leaned over and gave her a rare kiss. The little guy who usually didn't smile actually grinned when Li Shu kissed her.
Qin'er and Hua'er felt strange for a while, "As expected of mother and daughter, the young lady smiled when she kissed her."
"Brother-in-law, have you decided on a name?" the two brothers-in-law asked Zhu Ping'an while teasing the two little guys.
"Boys follow their generation, but girls don't. The seniority of their generation in our family is 'Xing'. My brother's name is Zhu Xingwen. I wish him to study hard and make progress every day; as for my sister, there is a saying in the Book of Songs' The sky is green, and the white dew is like frost. The so-called beauty is on the side of the water. My sister is called Zhu Yiyi. How about it?" Zhu Pingan told the two little guys their opinions.
Zhu Pingan and Li Shu began to think of a name for the baby when Li Shu was pregnant. They read the Book of Songs and the Book of Changes, studied the Analects of Spring and Autumn Period, and almost read through ancient Chinese classics, and came up with dozens of names for boys and girls. The two chose the best names from the best. The boy and the girl each chose three alternatives. It was not until today that they finally decided on their names by combining the children's birth time, which is the birth date, and calculating that they have all five elements.
"Zhu Xingwen, Zhu Yiyi, what a good name. My brother-in-law deserves to be the number one scholar. This is such a good name, both nice and meaningful."
The two brothers-in-law raised their eyebrows. Thumbs up, thumbs up to Zhu Pingan, I think the names of the two eldest nephews are very good.
"Dad, what do you think?" the two brothers-in-law asked their father.
"It's not bad, he is the number one scholar after all. If he can't even name his children well, wouldn't it make people laugh out loud." Rich Man Li was very satisfied with the names of his two grandsons. , but he still has a tough mouth, but when facing his two eldest grandsons, He had a different face, licking his old face and rubbing his two eldest grandson's little hands, and said in a coaxing tone, "Xiao Xingwen, Xiao Yiyi, I am your grandfather."
At this time, at the gate of the governor's office, a monk slowly walked over with a string of Buddhist beads in his hand.
The monk is about fifty years old, with a fat body and a big belly. His temples are gray and he has a smile on his face. He looks a bit like Maitreya Buddha. The fat monk is spinning a rosary in one hand. , holding an alms bowl in one hand.
When you look at it, you will feel that it is a master from a Buddhist temple who went down the mountain to travel around the world and practice Buddhism.
The officer at the gate saw the monk walking towards the door and stepped forward to stop him, "Monk, go elsewhere for alms. This is the yamen, not a place for you to beg alms. Go forward, there are many shops in front, and there will always be alms from the shopkeepers. . "
"Haha, Amitabha, I came here today not to beg alms, but to make a fortune." The fat monk chuckled and made a Namaste with one hand, saying the Buddha's name, and replied with a Zen tone in his words. .
"Huh? It's not alms, it's marriage? What does it mean? Is there a difference?" The guard scratched his head, confused.
"I traveled south and north, passing through your land. I found two great fortunes here. I counted them with my fingers and found that two nobles were born here. They are precious beyond words. The poor monk has two in his hand. The eminent monk blessed the rosary and gave it to the two noble people in order to form a good relationship." The fat monk smiled and took out two rosary beads from the alms bowl. The beads were round and jade-like, and they looked like ordinary objects. (End of this chapter)
