Chapter 142 A thank you gift to Po Wen
Cao’s family is not far from Shenjiazhuang Village. She was a widow in her early years and worked hard to raise her three sons. Her life was very difficult. Fortunately, her three sons were all Now that she has a family, the burden on her shoulders has become lighter.
However, the more sons she has, the more grandchildren she will have. Now she already has six grandchildren, all of whom are at an age when they are waiting for food. Apart from adding to the burden on the family, they cannot help with any work.
At least she has to worry about it.
It was already slightly bright when Mrs. Cao returned home.
The winter rain was falling in wisps, and the cold wind was howling. Her three daughters-in-law were all up and busy, while the others were still sleeping soundly in the house.
The eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Qian, was the first to hear the noise and hurried out to help, "Mom, how was last night? Wife-in-law Shen Yi gave birth to a boy or a girl?"
"Girl!" Mrs. Cao said, placing the package on the table, and the strong aroma of cakes spread in the room.
Qian was surprised, "Since you're a girl, why do I give you so many things?"
Mr. Cao sat down and sighed: "So I say that Mr. Su is really lucky. In Shen Yi's situation, it stands to reason that he would like his wife to have more sons. I originally thought he would be unhappy. As a result, the family was so happy that they didn't say anything to their daughter-in-law and even saw that the little girl couldn't walk, which showed that they really liked her.
That baby girl was lucky enough to be born in Su's belly. Take a look, Shen Yi prepared so many thank you gifts for me. I don't want others to be unhappy because I don't know what's inside. "
Qian carefully opened the package and took out a large package of pot helmets at the top. "Mom, it's pot helmets! Shen Yi's pot helmets are so delicious! Many people in the village have eaten them. Several children passed by their house and made noises about buying them. , I find it too expensive and reluctant to let my children go there. I didn’t expect that they would give you so much.”
Qian counted them and found that there were twenty in total, and it looked like they were all wrapped.
The children in the room ran out one after another smelling the fragrance. When they saw Guokui, their eyes couldn't move, and their mouths watered with greed.
Qian laughed and cursed.
Cao's second daughter-in-law, Li, and third daughter-in-law, Wu, also came in and asked again.
Qian explained the situation.
The two of them couldn't help but sigh.
While talking, Mrs. Qian took out the money bag from under the pot helmet and handed it to Mrs. Cao respectfully, "Mom, look at how much is in it."
Mrs. Cao weighed it before opening it, and poured out the money inside. Her pupils shrank for a moment, and she was careful to lose for a while before saying: "There are actually twenty taels of silver! No one in this country would give so much to a son!"
"Mom, there is another set of warm clothes and pants here!" Mrs. Li took out the remaining things and gestured with Mrs. Wu holding one piece each.
Qian looked at these things and calculated them in his mind. He was so shocked that he almost couldn't stand still. "Mom, these things add up to more than two and a half! Is it possible that Shen Yi is really crazy?"
Mr. Cao hesitated for a moment and then shook his head, "If you are really prosperous, you won't give me a piece of silver. Can't you just give me two taels of silver? I guess he is really too happy! Okay, this is other people's business. , let’s not shout outside, so as not to make others jealous.”
It is not easy for her to be a widow today. No one knows how to survive in the village better than her.
The three daughters-in-law were most afraid of Mr. Cao, so they immediately nodded in assurance.
With this two taels of silver, their family will be much better off this winter.
When Mrs. Cao was happy, she asked Mrs. Qian to take out ten pot helmets. The children shared half of them, and the adults ate the remaining half.
After seeing Mrs. Cao off, Shen Yi immediately went to the house to see Su Tai and the child, looking reluctant to leave.
Su Tai was left speechless by him, "Aren't you still going to deliver the pot helmets? The business is no longer possible?" "It's not going to happen. I have a happy event at home, so I'll be closed for a few days." Shen Yi answered very ruthlessly.
Su Tai had to laugh at him a few times.
Han couldn't stand it anymore and pushed Shen Yi away, "Go and do what you have to do. Don't cause trouble here. The child can't escape. You can still watch it when you come back."
When Shen Yi went out to deliver the goods, Mr. Han concentrated on serving Su Tai during her confinement period.
I want to get her some food, but I don’t know where to start, “Girl, where’s your meat?”
Su Tai looked at the sheepfold and said lazily: "Shen Yi said he wanted to kill a sheep for me. We'll wait until he comes back. Mom, please make me some noodles first and put in a few more eggs. We have pot helmets in the kitchen." Use brown sugar and make some brown sugar water for me.”
When it comes to brown sugar, Mrs. Han is very happy, "When mother goes back, you can give me some brown sugar. I heard that this thing is good for people, so let's go back and try some."
Su Tai was happy, "You are my mother, how can I forget you? It's just the right time to take some more with me, and give them to my aunt, cousin, and cousin Yunyun."
Seeing that Su Tai agreed so readily, Mrs. Han felt even more happy.
Shen Yi didn't know what to do today. He came back earlier than usual and called his two cousins over.
Several men were sharpening their knives at the sheepfold. In the evening, Su Tai had already eaten fresh mutton soup.
In the next few days, Han did not only make food for Su Tai but also held the child.
The little girl was well-raised in her mother's womb. She was neither fat nor thin when she was born, and was very well-proportioned. In addition, Su Tai's milk was abundant and good. The little girl had enough to eat and slept well. During the confinement period, she had a lot of luck, one milk a day. Sample.
Han was so rare that she held her in her arms every day and couldn't bear to let it go, and she would praise her at every turn.
In the blink of an eye, Su Tai had been lying in bed for a month. Fortunately, it was cold and she didn't sleep with Shen Yi, otherwise she would definitely go crazy.
The first thing you should do after confinement is to take a hot bath to remove the dirt from your body.
Han couldn't control her, so he kept boiling water in the kitchen.
While she was away, Su Tai took a large pot of water and heated it with a fully automatic water heater. Then she sneaked into the bathroom to fill the bath with hot water when Han was not paying attention.
When Mr. Han came in with hot water, he saw the bathtub full of hot water, and there were question marks on his forehead.
Su Tai took her out of the house before she could ask any questions, quickly took off her sticky clothes, scooped several ladles of hot water and poured it on her from head to toe, and then washed her with soap from head to toe, repeating this three times.
She breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that all the dirt on her body was gone. She poured a lot of hot water on her body before wrapping herself in a clean bath towel and sitting by the bathtub to dry her hair carefully.
She would never leave the room until her hair was dry.
After she tidied herself up, the child was hungry again and had to continue working.
Shen Yi heard her murmur, with a fond smile on his lips, "Daughter-in-law, our daughter is one month old, please give her a nice name."
"Why didn't you think about it?" Su Tai raised her head in surprise.
Shen Yi smiled sheepishly, "You know more, so the name you chose will definitely be nice."
