During the Shen time (15:00-17:00), after frying the tea leaves, Su Ziling packed his things and went to the county with Eighteen.

Before leaving, he did not forget to remind Grandma Su to feed the pigs, chickens, ducks and rabbits. He also mentioned that the family would probably come over to give him a rabbit today, and the price would still be calculated as one hundred coins per rabbit as before.

When she passed by the workshop, she called Su Yonghe out and asked him to help weigh the mushrooms. Su's father and others had gone to the wasteland to cultivate the soil for the ginger and taro, and they probably wouldn't be back for a while, so Grandma Su wouldn't be able to handle it alone.

"Don't worry, we're watching."

Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them hurried to the county town.

We still rode in Uncle Li's ox cart. When we arrived at the county, the sun had already set and the restaurants closed early that day.

Su Ziling and her friends entered through the back door. When she arrived, Su's mother and her friends were washing mushrooms in the yard.

Because we were open for a short time today, we only sold half of the mushrooms. Now that they have been washed, they can be sold tomorrow morning.

"Mother, how is my third aunt?"

As soon as the back door was opened, Erlangzi started wagging his tail and circling around her, occasionally jumping up and hugging her legs.

"Keep your voice down, the child just fell asleep."

Mother Su shook the water off her hands and asked, "Why did you come alone?"

"The family is busy. My father and grandpa went to cultivate the soil for the ginger and taro. Grandma is home alone. My eldest brother and his friends are in the valley and can't come back. So I'm the only one left. I still found time. I fried two pots of tea before going out."

She put the things in the house and tiptoed towards Bai Wei's room.

As soon as she entered the room, Bai Wei opened her eyes. Su Ziling smiled, called her silently, and pointed to the child who was sleeping soundly beside her, indicating that she was there to see the child.

Bai Wei smiled, turned her head and looked at the child, her eyes full of love.

To be honest, Su Ziling had never seen a newborn baby, so he didn't know how to describe it, but this, um...

The skin on her face was red and a little wrinkled. It couldn't be said to be ugly, but it wasn't pretty either.

The only advantage is that the hair volume is better.

She took a look and went out when she saw that he was still sleeping. She dragged a stool and sat next to Su's mother, washing mushrooms with her, and whispered, "Mother, this kid is a little ugly."

As soon as she said this, several people looked up at her.

Su Ziling was stunned for a moment, "What, what happened?"

"How can it be ugly? Chubby ones are so cute. All the kids who just got out of school are like this."

After saying this, Su's mother continued to wash the mushrooms.

Su Ziling blinked, "Isn't it ugly?"

"You may not know that when you were born you were not as good-looking as him. Life was not difficult at that time, and the food was pretty good. I don't know why you didn't absorb anything at all. You were born wrinkled, like a little old lady."

Su Ziling: "?"

She was the ugly one.

"Oh, by the way, mother, my mother caught two chickens and brought some eggs. I also brought some sweet white wine. I'll take it out and cook it for my third aunt later. Do you have any brown sugar left?"

"You brought a chicken?" Su's mother stood up. "Then we have to take the chicken out. We'll kill one and stew it for your Third Aunt tonight. There's still some brown sugar. It's okay. You can buy some more after you finish eating. It's close anyway."

Seeing that the things she brought were placed on the table, Su's mother stood up and began to sort them out, putting the chopped pieces aside and grabbing a small chicken to stew, thinking that the girl had just given birth today and might not have much appetite.

Stew half of it tonight and hang the remaining half in the well to stew again tomorrow morning.

"Mother, please don't make it too greasy. I guess my Third Aunt won't have an appetite. Cook some brown sugar eggs for her. The chicken soup should also have less oil and salt," Su Ziling was really afraid that she would feed her with a lot of meat and fish.

"I'll go buy some red dates and then I can cook some porridge."

Su's mother even raised the kitchen knife, looked at the chicken, then looked at her, "Then don't kill it?"

"Let's cook it tomorrow. Tonight, I'll make some porridge and some sugar-water eggs. I'll go buy some shrimps to see if they're available. If they are, I can make some shrimp porridge."

"Shrimp? How about dried shrimp? It seems your uncle sent it over. They didn't finish it. I saw it the other day."

Since she didn't want to kill the chicken, Su's mother put the chicken back into the cage.

"That's fine. I'll cook the porridge before I go out."

To make shrimp porridge, you just need to add some chopped green onions and ginger, a little salt, and cook the porridge. She went out to the pharmacy to buy red dates and wolfberries, thinking of cooking a five-red soup with the red beans, peanuts, and brown sugar at home.

He went to Yang the butcher again and asked him to keep the pig's feet for him. Yang the butcher was naturally very happy.

Originally, their family only covered his pig's head and offal, but now they even covered the pig's feet.

After buying these things, she went to the vegetable market again. She could make the five-red soup later, and she could also cook some vegetable and tofu soup today. It was a pity that she didn’t see any fish, otherwise she could have cooked some tofu and fish soup.

With Su Ziling's arrival, the dinner was particularly sumptuous. Third Aunt first had a bowl of sugar-water eggs in the afternoon, and the main course in the evening was shrimp porridge, plus a bowl of tofu and vegetable soup. The main idea was to eat less oil and salt, and eat small meals frequently.

The next morning, Su Ziling asked Shiba to go to the butcher to get the pig's feet first, and stewed a pig's trotter and peanut soup. The staple food was mushroom and chicken porridge, and of course, a bowl of sugar-water eggs was also indispensable in the morning.

The days passed in an orderly manner like flowing water. In a blink of an eye, little Su Zichen was already one month old. It happened that Su Zimu had no holidays during these days, so the whole family brought little Su Zichen back to hold a full-month banquet.

Su Zichen was named by Su Ziling. It should have been named by Grandpa Su, but he said he didn't know how. Su Ziling and his brothers and sisters were named after the medicinal materials, and he only knew these few herbs. How could he name another one? He really didn't know how.

Thinking that he was born in the hour of Chen and Su Ziling was not good at naming, she simply called him Su Zichen. She gave him the name just to get by, but the old man and the others were obviously very satisfied.

She chose the full name, and the nickname fell on the old man. To be honest, Su Ziling was really afraid that he would give birth to another Tiedan or Goudan. Fortunately, the old man was lazy. Su Zichen was born on June 16 and weighed exactly 6 jin, so he just called him Shiliu.

Of course, the pomegranate was changed by Su Ziling. The old man’s original meaning was: six jin, sixteen, six pieces, and finally there was a sixty-six.

Su Ziling couldn't help but accepted the name Dashun. Unexpectedly, the old man said directly that it was okay to call him Dashun.

Su Ziling was so shocked that he was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, and finally took the homonym of sixteen, which is pomegranate.

The Bai family was not invited to the full moon banquet because the baby was born that day and her family had to come back three days after the birth to send rice as a gift. On that day, Bai's mother and two daughters-in-law were at home. After Bai Shu came back, his wife was swearing. Bai's mother prepared a few eggs, carried two kilograms of brown rice, and caught a chicken, but it was also released by Bai Shu's wife.

Bai Shu said nothing and grabbed it back again. Seeing this, Bai's mother took out the clothes she had made.

It’s not much, just one set, and the fabric can’t be said to be very good, but at least it’s acceptable on the surface.

When Bai Shu arrived at the county that day, Su's mother and others clearly saw the scratches on his neck. Even without him saying anything, Bai Wei knew what happened.

When he went back, Su's mother returned the gifts and gave him some vermicelli and mushroom jam. When they were holding a full-month banquet, they mentioned the Bai family, but Bai Wei just shook her head and said there was no need to invite them.
