Dressed up as a Real Mom - Chapter 33
He Xiaoyun went to the mountain again to pick hawthorn and dried the hawthorn for Wei Jianwei. However, before it was dried, something happened at home and Feng Qiuyue gave birth in advance.
The night before, there was a light rain, and the ground was wet. She didn’t pay attention and slipped in the yard. Although she didn’t fall, she was frightened. Soon her stomach hurts.
Fortunately, she has always been in good health. Counting the time, the month is almost full. After the stable wife came, she successfully gave birth to a healthy baby girl.
The house was in chaos, both surprised and happy, only Wang Chunhua was calm, and directed Wei Jianguo to inform the Yue family to let Wei Zhenxing watch Wei Yuanhang, don’t ask him to run around, and take care of the eldest daughter-in-law and the little granddaughter with her second daughter-in-law.
When Feng Qiuyue’s family arrived, they were all packed inside and out. The baby girl was sleeping next to her mother wrapped in a swaddle. Feng Qiuyue also changed clean clothes and leaned on the bed to rest.
Mother Feng was carrying big bags, including dried longans, eggs, brown sugar, etc. for her daughter’s confinement, as well as clothes and diapers for her granddaughter. I wanted to bring them back in two days, but she didn’t know that there would be an accident.
When she came, her eyes were red, and she wiped her tears when she saw her daughter was really fine. Mothers understand the pain of childbirth best, and are the most frightened of their own children.
Feng Qiuyue’s complexion was a little pale, but she was in good spirits, “Mom, sister-in-law, sit down.”
Her mother was wiping her tears and did not speak. Her sister-in-law patted her chest and said, “Qiuyue, you scared us. When Jianguo came to the house and said, Mom fell even the bowl.”
Feng Qiuyue smiled and said: “It seems that next time, I have to pay mom a new bowl.”
“You girl, you still want to talk and laugh.” Mother Feng finally came over, “You said you didn’t know how to be careful? I have been here for the first nine months, and I haven’t been stretched in the last few days. If something happens, it will be too late to cry. .”
Her sister-in-law said hurriedly: “Don’t talk about it, isn’t Qiuyue doing well now? Mom, look at our little daughter, how well-behaved we sleep.”
Mother Feng looked at her little granddaughter, she still said a few words to her daughter, and then began to explain what she should pay attention to during confinement and how to take care of her newborn child.
She wanted to stay and take care of her daughter, but when she came out, she walked in a hurry. The family didn’t make arrangements, and she saw that her mother was really thoughtful, so she was relieved and hurried home before dark and planned to come back the next day.
After supper was ready, He Xiaoyun first served Feng Qiuyue with a portion. The pregnant woman could not go out and have a hair dryer, and she had to eat in the room during confinement.
“Xiaoyun, I will trouble you during this time.” Feng Qiuyue said.
The little baby was asleep, and He Xiaoyun was watching her closely. Hearing what she said, she smiled and said, “Sister-in-law will make me angry if she says anything else.”
Feng Qiuyue also laughed, “Don’t be angry, don’t be angry.”
“Originally, the eldest brother was going to bring you the food. Mom told him to eat first. He had to take care of you and the baby at night. Sister-in-law, you didn’t know. When you gave birth, I saw eldest brother’s eyes were red and tears were about to fall. .”
“It’s really shameful.” Feng Qiuyue was disgusted, but her eyes were smiling.
After busying all day, lying on the bed at night, He Xiaoyun let out a long sigh of relief.
“Mom, why does the little sister always sleep?” Wei Yuanhang asked while holding the quilt.
He Xiaoyun turned sideways, facing the child, and said: “You can grow taller if you are full. The little sister is so small, of course you have to sleep more.”
“Can you play with me when you grow taller?”
“Yes, but even if my sister grows taller, she is still younger than you. You have to love her, don’t you?”
The child nodded vigorously, “I am a brother, I will love my little sister!”
He Xiaoyun smiled and poked him in the face, and said: “During this time, grandma has to take care of aunt and little sister, and mother should also help. You are an older child. You have to be obedient. Follow your grandpa. You can’t run around. You can’t go to the river alone, you know?”
“I know, my mother said, if I ran to the river alone and fell down, I would never see my mother again.”
“It’s so smart. It seems that Hanghang has become an older brother, and he has really grown up.” He Xiaoyun put a high hat on him, and the child was very happy.
“Then can I hold my little sister?”
“It’s not working right now. My little sister’s body is too soft, and she will get hurt if she is not careful. You can only take a look and talk to her. You can’t hold or touch it hard.”
Wei Yuanhang said, “That seems to be meaningless.”
He Xiaoyun said with a laugh when he heard his tone like an adult: “You are the most interesting. Go to bed.”
At night, Wei Jianguo took care of his wife and children. During the day, Wang Chunhua, He Xiaoyun, and Feng’s mother also came often. Except for the first few days, they were a little hectic. After that, everyone quickly adapted.
The autumn harvest was approaching, and Wang Chunhua decided to drive the pigs raised at home to the food station.
Farmers who raise pigs also need to complete the task of state monopoly, that is, buy one and keep one. If they raise two pigs, they have to hand over one pig to the state. If they only raise one pig, then buy half and save half.
Moreover, the purchased pigs have a standard, and the weight needs to be more than 120 kilograms. The pig grass, sweet potato vine, and rice bran that are currently fed to pigs do not grow fat very much. It is not easy to grow meat, so many people, once the pigs in the family are heavy enough, they rush to the food station, fearing that they will lose money if they continue to raise them.
In the past, the Wei family’s pigs would be raised until the end of the year. After being slaughtered, they would be made into bacon, enough to eat for half a year in the coming year. But now Feng Qiuyue is confined and has a labor force and an extra child to take care of. The autumn harvest is now in sight. The family really can’t take care of the pigs, because they are afraid that they will lose meat if they are not fed properly, so they just rushed to finish the task early.
Wei Zhenxing and Wei Jianguo used their family carts to transport pigs. They set off early in the morning and returned in the afternoon.
After arriving home, Wang Chunhua sent some pork liver, pig blood, etc. to the neighbor’s house, and then cut half a fan of pork into long strips, prepared to be salted and marinated, so as not to be spoiled.
“The meat was marinated early this year. When Jianwei comes back next year, I don’t know if it will be left.” Wang Chunhua suddenly said, every Chinese New Year, his second son is not at home, and he has not been able to eat pork at home a few times.
As soon as she said, He Xiaoyun remembered that the dried hawthorn for Wei Jianwei had not been sent out, and the house was busy recently, and she even forgot to return the letter to him.
He shouldn’t wait eagerly, right? He Xiaoyun thought with a little guilty conscience, but no wonder she, it wasn’t that there were too many things.
Wang Chunhua asked her to pass the salt, but when she shouted, she didn’t respond, and then said, “Xiaoyun?”
“Ah?” He Xiaoyun came back to her senses, and hurriedly passed the salt over and said, “Mom, why don’t I make some jerky and dried meat for Jianwei.”
Doing more food for him is a compensation for what he has forgotten during this period of time.
Wang Chunhua asked: “Will the road break?”
“Dry it a little bit, it shouldn’t.”
“That’s fine.” Wang Chunhua nodded, leaving two pieces of good meat for her. She didn’t worry that He Xiaoyun was ruining things. Recently, the second daughter-in-law exposed this to her son. Young people have young people’s ideas, so why should she ask more.
He Xiaoyun went to the supply and marketing agency to buy some raw materials. Because dried hawthorn is sweet, she was afraid that Wei Jianwei would be too greasy to eat, so she planned to make a five-scented jerky and spicy pork jerky.
The pork is blanched with cooking wine first. It does not need to be cooked. It is picked up and cut into thin slices, mixed with seasonings and marinated, steamed in a pot, then spread out and placed in the sun. After drying, continue to air-dry.
To make preserved meat, you need to chop the pork into puree, the finer the better, then mix with seasonings and beaten vigorously, spread it on oiled paper, and use a rolling pin to dry it into thin slices, and then steam it and air dry.
The whole process took a few days. After finishing it, He Xiaoyun tasted the taste. Wei Yuanhang, a little glutton, circled around her, “Mom, mom, I want to eat too.”
He Xiaoyun gave him a slice of non-spicy meat, and said, “You need to share a little bit more of these dried meats with your father and a bit less at home. He doesn’t have any meat to eat outside, and we still have more meat.”
Wei Yuanhang frowned, “All right.”
“You can’t eat what you stay at home. You have to share it with your grandparents. If your uncle comes back, you can also eat it.”
“So many people…” The child pouted, feeling very reluctant, but still reluctantly agreed. After thinking about it, he asked: “Should I give it to my little sister?”
“No,” He Xiaoyun said quickly, “Mom forgot to tell you that the little sister can only drink milk now, and can’t eat anything else. You can’t secretly feed her, do you hear?”
The child tilted his head, “Because she has no teeth?”
“Yes, she has no teeth and can’t eat what you eat.”
“I see.” Wei Yuanhang nodded, took another bite of the jerky, chewed, and suddenly sighed, “Little sister is so pitiful.”
He Xiaoyun rubbed his head amusedly.
In the army, Lin Yuefei got up again recently. He turned into Wei Jianwei’s office and asked slyly: “Old Wei, why haven’t my younger brothers and sisters come yet?”
A while ago, the report from Old Wei was approved and the house was divided. He watched him run over in three days, tidy up the house and add some furniture later, it seemed that he was more capable and busy.
Lin Yuefei said so many sour words at that time, I was envious, because Lao Wei’s family members were going to join the army, and his wife and children were hot on the bed, and he was still far away.
As a result, it has been more than a month. Neither his younger siblings came, nor did he see any letter from Old Wei. Lin Yuefei wondered whether the young couple quarreled, and the younger siblings don’t kill him anymore?
Swearing by their more than ten years of comrades-in-arms, he absolutely didn’t mean to gloat. He just wanted to see Old Wei’s deflated appearance, just making fun of him by the way.
Wei Jianwei glanced at him and didn’t speak, but slowly took out a pack of dried pork from the drawer, another pack of dried hawthorn, and another pack of pork shop, and then ate it slowly.
“…” The smile on Lin Yuefei’s face slowly solidified, and his eyes gradually widened.
With so many things, when did Old Wei receive it, why didn’t he know? !
And, why can anyone look so owed!
