It took less than two quarters of a minute from the time Liu Shu’s water broke to the time he was born. The hot water had just been boiled in the kitchen and was handed over to him. The midwife touched it and said it was not yet fully boiled and asked him to bring in more hot water. In addition to Liu Shu’s screams, there was also the sound of the baby crying, which was very loud and sonorous.
Very smooth.
After giving birth, you can still hear Willow saying that he is hungry and wants to eat meat.
The midwife quickly said that he could not eat hard meat, and it would be best to drink some rice soup to flush his stomach and intestines first, and wait for the impurities to be discharged, and then rest for a few days before eating meat.
Willow Tree has a shaved face. How many days does it take to drink rice porridge?
”That’s right.” Li Zhouzhou said gently, “It will probably be done in two days.”
Two days is enough. Liu Shu gritted his teeth and endured it. Now he had the energy to find his son and asked him to see what he looked like. He should not be so dark-skinned.
Then he held the child and suddenly became unhappy and speechless.
Anyway, the Yan family is lively and fun.
Li Zhouzhou wanted to laugh when he came back and told his father and husband, “It’s okay actually. The child is red, and Xiaoshu said how can it be red like a monkey’s face when it’s not black.”
”Is this the case for all newborn babies?” Gu Zhao had heard this from his co-workers at his internship unit.
”The midwife said so too, saying that it will be fine if it grows a little bit longer. Xiaoshu asked me if Fubao was like this too, and I said yes.” Li Zhouzhou rarely lied, and didn’t even look at Xiaoshu. Now at home, he kept saying, “I hope the baby can grow up to be fair and tender.”
Otherwise Xiaoshu would know that he was lying.
Fubao was born with fair skin.
Gu Zhao wanted to laugh when he heard this, not at Liu Fulang, but because he felt that his Zhou Zhou was adorable. He said, “It will happen. If the child drinks more milk and stays out of the sun, he will be white.”
And in fact, Brother Yan was not born with dark skin.
This is because he worked in the fields and was exposed to the sun. We went to school together for four or five years. Every July after the agricultural holiday, Brother Yan was the darkest when he returned to school. He was almost tanned black, but before the Chinese New Year, he would become a few shades whiter and his complexion would return to normal.
Besides, Mr. Liu is not dark-skinned, so their child should not have the genes to be dark-skinned, right?
Li Zhouzhou felt relieved after hearing what his husband said.
After eating and washing up, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.
Fubao, wearing a jumpsuit and long sleeves, was lying on the bed, crawling from the head to the foot of the bed. Gu Zhao, wearing shorts, was sitting beside the bed, watching the baby and teasing Fubao with a cloth tiger.
”Call me daddy – call me daddy and I’ll let you play.” Gu Zhao was always casual at home and spoke without hesitation.
Fubao crawled very quickly using his hands and feet, and sat down in front of his father, supporting himself with his two chubby hands. His chubby face showed a curve that was perfect for rubbing. Gu Zhao couldn’t help but want to join in and give the tiger to his son at the same time.
What other conditions are there to offer? It’s just this one treasure. Besides, the tiger was sewn by Zhou Zhou for Fubao.
Gu Zhao put the tiger in his son’s hand and rubbed its fleshy curve with one hand. It was really fun. Fubao held the tiger and spoke, but his unclear words made his father’s hand drool.
”Da-ba!”
”Good son.” Gu Zhao kissed Fu Bao and held him in his arms. His hands, which were stained with Fu Bao’s saliva, were not polite. He smiled and rubbed his son’s crawling clothes. It just so happened that he rubbed his son’s fleshy belly. Sure enough, it felt even better. “Why should we be polite, right?”
Fubao was rubbed by his father and hugged the tiger and giggled.
Li Zhouzhou brought goat milk into the house, and when he saw the father and son playing together, there was a smile in his eyes. When he gave birth to Fubao, it had been more than half a year since his husband went to Beijing for an exam. Fubao didn’t recognize his husband when he saw him, and although he didn’t cry, he didn’t like to play with his husband. If his husband got closer to him and stuck to him, Fubao would wave his arms, puff up his face in anger, and spit bubbles at his husband.
At that time, Li Zhouzhou had a stern face and acted fiercely, but he was soft-hearted and couldn’t scare Fubao. He could only teach Fubao over and over again that this was daddy, the daddy who loved Fubao the most.
How old is Fubao, what does he know? He only knows that when this stranger comes back, his father only hugs the stranger and kisses the stranger, but not him. Of course he is not happy, so he deliberately makes trouble and gets angry.
Gu Zhao said, “Don’t worry. I’ve been gone for more than half a year. It’s normal that Fubao doesn’t recognize me. We still have a long time to live together. If I take care of him and hug him more, he will definitely kiss me.”
The men in the village also appreciate having children, but that is only at the moment. The children’s eating, drinking, defecating and urinating are still taken care of by the men in the house. When they are happy and have free time, they will hold the children and coax them a few words. On other days, they don’t care about them at all. All the men in Xiping Village are like this.
Li Zhouzhou knew that his husband was different from other men in the village, and it was troublesome to take care of a child. Fubao was considered a well-behaved child, but he would cry when he peed or poop, when he was hungry, and when you fell asleep at night and he woke up, he would cry.
It’s not easy anyway.
He thought that if Fubao behaved well, he would let his husband hold him, and when he cried, he would take him, and he would change his diaper and feed him. But he didn’t expect that when he started, his husband would learn from him, and when Fubao peed for the second time, his husband would say he would change his diaper.
Especially feeding Fubao, my husband loves to do this. He says whoever gives milk is the mother. If I feed Fubao milk, he will definitely remember my kindness and will not be estranged from me.
”Is the milk ready? Let me feed him, I’ll feed you.” Gu Zhao saw Zhou Zhou coming back and he fed Fubao milk.
Fubao, who was playing with the tiger, smelled the milk, raised his head, and called out “Die” obediently! Gu Zhao held his son on his lap with one arm, took the bowl with one hand, and said, “My dear son, daddy will feed you milk, what do you call me?”
”Duck!” Fubao excitedly nudged his father with his butt.
The bowl in Gu Zhao’s hand shook, so Li Zhouzhou went over and took Fubao into his arms so that he would be more stable and allowed his husband to feed Fubao.
Fubao is very well behaved when feeding and eats with relish.
When we were on the road before, the weather was hot and adults and children sat in the carriage for more than half a day. Even though we were wearing light clothes and Fubao was dressed in a crawling jumpsuit with short-sleeved shirts and shorts, it was still hot. After more than a month, Fubao, who was originally chubby and easy to rub, has become thinner.
The meaty legs at the lotus root node have become thinner.
Now only the face and belly are better rubbed.
”Let’s make it up to him.” Gu Zhao felt sorry for his son.
Fubao drank the milk in big gulps.
After feeding, Gu Zhao patted Fubao’s back to burp the milk, and then he coaxed his son to sleep.
Children fall asleep quickly after eating and drinking enough, and they sleep between their father and father. Gu Zhao speaks to Zhou Zhou through his son, lowering his voice. Before he can finish a few words, Fubao starts whining. Li Zhouzhou pats him gently twice to comfort him, and asks what his husband said?
Gu Zhao: …
Gu Zhao, who just doted on his son and acted like he was the best father to Fubao, gritted his teeth and changed the subject: “I’m thinking of ordering a small bed for Fubao outside. He’s grown up now, and I’m afraid of crushing him when he sleeps in the middle, so I’ll let him sleep by himself and put the bed in our room.”
It is not easy to find a servant in a short time, especially one who can take care of children, so you have to choose carefully.
Li Zhouzhou said softly, “That’s not good. Fubao can crawl and sit now. What if he falls down?”
”You still don’t trust me? I’ll draw a super-strong, reinforced, and high-railed crib for our Fubao, and I guarantee he won’t be able to fall over!” Gu Zhao promised his wife.
Having children is good, but couples also need to have a nightlife.
”If you’re making beds, order two and also give one to Second Brother Yan’s family, as a full-month gift for his child.” Gu Zhao still has a strong sense of brotherhood.
Li Zhouzhou saw that his husband was angry and said with a smile in his eyes.
My husband and Fubao are exactly alike, their cheeks are puffed up with anger.
Early the next morning, Gu Zhao got up to draw the baby crib. After finishing, he went out to find a carpenter to make it custom. Their yard was at the entrance of an alley. Walking along the alley and around to the street, there were various shops selling all kinds of things. After all, it was a living area.
Of course, prices in Beijing are also higher.
Gu Zhao was familiar with the place and had even booked a mule cart here before. Unfortunately, his family had a mule, but it was only a cart for hauling goods. If he went to work in the morning, he couldn’t sit on the cart – but he didn’t mind as it was nothing and it was cool.
But this is not a big deal, and it would be bad if someone accuses you of impoliteness.
Is it appropriate for an official to wear his official uniform and sit on a cart, going back and forth to get off work, for the people to watch?
Gu Zhao went to the store, paid a deposit, and had two cribs made. The shop master looked at the drawings and had a brief discussion with him, saying that he would be able to get them in ten days. Gu Zhao left Yan Erge’s address and said that the other one would be delivered directly to his home.
When I came back, I was thinking that when I was making the beds in Ningping Prefecture, it took about the same amount of time to make two beds. Why did it take so much effort to make a baby bed when it was so small?
I didn’t think much about it, maybe there were people queuing ahead of me.
I bought some vegetables on the way back.
The first door, on the right is the gatehouse, on the left is a row of back houses, in front is a screen wall, turn left, the width between the first and second doors is about six or seven meters, at the top is a large kitchen, the smoke and fumes from the war are not arranged into the inner yard.
When Gu Zhao was looking at houses before, he saw some people decorate the remaining space with flowers and plants, but his family doesn’t have the time to do so now, so the wall is just bare, but there are some reliefs on the wall.
The second door is located in the middle and is ajar. Go up the stairs and step inside to reach the owner’s residence. It is really spacious. The total area of his house is over a thousand square meters. This is the capital city.
In modern times, Gu Zhao doesn’t even dare to dream of buying a house in Beijing, it’s too far away.
Now look at this big yard, this large area, and in the corner of the yard are tied his son’s dairy sheep and his playmate lamb, bleating, so lively and interesting!
Their family now has a house in Beijing and is about to start a new life!
