Mountain People

Zuo Qingsong and Dong Yunmei have been guarding the Qin family since they received news from the Qin family. The family did not know that Liu Yueyi had given birth to a son until Cuixi returned to Cuizhu Mountain.

Having a son in this dynasty means you have a firm position. When this child was born, not only Liu Yueyi was relieved, but the Dong family and the Zuo family were also overjoyed.

Gu Shuixiu called Luoying and asked her to go to the livestock pen to catch two old hens, two old female ducks, and two large white geese, and then went to the house's greenhouse to pick some green vegetables and brown sugar at home Some, in addition to pack a happy money for the child, it is also decent to collect six kinds of gifts.

The ritual of washing three is ready.

When Gu Shuixiu and Cuixi arrived in the valley, they realized that Dong Yunmei had prepared similar gifts. The difference was that she brought pheasants, hares, and six river fish. Not long after catching, plus a pack of red envelopes, there were exactly four items. Although there were two fewer items than Gu Shuixiu's, what the mother desperately needed was fish soup for milk. The water in this Tianhe was cold, and it was really not easy to catch this fish.

When she came back, she killed a chicken and a duck for Liu Yueyi every day during the confinement period, and raised her to be plump and full of milk.

It's just that she hadn't found the Cuizhu Mountain yet, so Gu Shuixiu brought a few over here. The gifts from the two families were considered to be in the heart of the Qin family, so Mr. Hao didn't care about which one had more and which one was less. He was more happy to receive fish and hens than to receive money.

Because of the cold weather, the child's baptism is not a grand ceremony, but everything is simple, Cuixi holds a copper plate with a pot of boiling water in it, waiting for the boiling water to drop to a suitable temperature Afterwards, tie the branches of jasmine flowers and pomegranate branches together and immerse them in the water, and then put some copper coins in the water, and once a copper coin says auspicious words.

Uncle Qin and Mrs Hao responded to Cuixi with a smile while holding the child, every time they said a word. When the happy words were finished, Cuixi asked Hao to untie the child's clothes and dipped the tied branches and leaves on the child's body and gestured back and forth a few times. Gu Shuixiu couldn't understand it, but she watched it with relish. Because of confinement in the house, I have not seen the whole process of the three baptisms.

In her opinion, this is the way the ancients used their own methods to bless their children, wishing them a safe life, no disease, no disasters, and wealth and glory.

After the third baptism, Mrs. Hao quickly put on the child's clothes. Fortunately, two braziers were burning in the house, and the temperature was higher than the outside. The child did not have any signs of catching a cold because of the third washing. .

When the child is dressed and wrapped, it will be Gu Shuixiu and Dong Yunmei's turn to play.

Hao and Uncle Qin were smiling all day, smiling whenever they met, holding the child without letting go.

After the third baptism, the Qin family prepared a banquet for the Dong family and the Zuo family. After the banquet, the third baptism was truly over.

On the same day, Qin Shan announced that the newly released buns were called Qin Zuxin. Qin Zuxin was just ten months behind Dong Yuanxu, and they could be considered playmates when they grew up.

After Qin Zu washed three times, until the full moon, Gu Shuixiu did not go to Qin's house again, but when the child was half a month old, Qin Shan brought the wild ginseng over once and returned the wild ginseng to The Dong family also gave Gu Shuixiu two taels of silver, because they used a root of wild ginseng.

Gu Shuixiu didn't want the money, but Qin Shan gave everything he said, and said seriously, "It's been through the help of your family all these years that we have what we are today, and now I also have a son. Now, my life can be considered complete, I don't ask for anything else, I just want to serve my parents well, take care of Yueyi, and raise my ancestors.

I want to set a good example for him. If you don't accept the money today, I will never dare to borrow things from your family in the future. I won't let the children think that his father has been taking advantage of others. "

Gu Shuixiu smiled when she heard Qin Shan’s words, although she didn’t think a baby girl would understand this, but it was necessary to teach it from a young age, so she no longer refused, but happily Received Qin Shan's money.

Qin Shan watched Gu Shuixiu collect the money and heaved a sigh of relief, then smiled again: "There is one more thing, we plan to open up the previously purchased fields in the spring, and we will talk to you at that time. Buy some seedlings at home, this time the amount needed is a bit large, I will tell you in advance, so that you will not be overwhelmed when the time comes."

Gu Shuixiu nodded and said: "These are not problems, you probably need to tell Chenghu in advance."

Qin Shan got Gu Shuixiu's right words, and he was overjoyed. He was worried that the Dong family would be too busy with the business of opening a shop and could not provide them with seedlings. Now it seems that he is unfounded.

Qin Zuxin's full moon wine is close to the Spring Festival, and everyone is busy with the New Year and has no time to spare. In addition, the third washing has been done. After discussing with Liu Yueyi, Hao and Liu Yueyi decided to cook it at home Even if it's over with a delicious celebration, neither the Zuo family nor the Qin family are notified.

Gu Shuixiu was so busy preparing for the New Year, and the county store was about to close, so she had to prepare money for the servants and make new clothes. , the Qin family didn't come to notify, and she didn't think about the child's full moon.

The Zuo family near Qin's house delivered some red eggs and a bag of silver money. , She was still cooking at home, and she planned to go back after sending the things, but she didn't send them out and brought them back.

On the 30th day of the new year, Dong Yi took Zhao Nizi and others back to Cuizhu Mountain. Dong Yi all shivered from the cold, and Luo Ying cooked a large pot of brown sugar **** tea for everyone. , After everyone drank, it was only when they were warm that they spoke quickly.

Bao Er has been sticking to Zhao Nizi's side since she came back, neither noisy nor annoyed, she just wants to sit next to her.

After Zhao Nizi came over, she immediately handed a burden to Gu Shuixiu's hand. Gu Shuixiu did not untie the burden in front of everyone, but asked Dong Chenghu to take the burden into the room.

I stayed and listened to their report.

After a few months of experience, Zhao Nizi's behavior is obviously much better than before, she is no longer timid in front of everyone, and she is calm when answering Gu Shuixiu's questions, although she is still a little nervous , but her articulation is clear, the rules are clear, and her voice is much louder. Her appearance already meets Hao's requirements. I believe that after two or three years of exercise, she will be reborn.
