Rebirth in 1970: I work as an educated youth in a forest farm

Time passed very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was almost a month since the birth of the second child in the Sheng family.

The forest farm's winter production was about to begin. Sheng Xiping had discussed with his family that it would be better to hold a full-moon celebration on October 21st.

If it's too late, most people will have to go up to work in the mountains.

Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen also felt that this arrangement was very reasonable, so they decided on a date for the full moon wine and notified their relatives and friends.

On October 20th, Sheng Xinyu was full moon, and Zhou Qinglan was also in confinement.

Zhou Mingyuan and his wife took leave and came to the forest farm to see their daughter and grandson.

Just as Zhang Shuzhen was busy preparing for tomorrow's banquet, she asked Wang Chunxiu to accompany Zhou Qinglan to take a bath in the forest farm's bathhouse.

During the confinement period, women are not allowed to wash their hair or bathe. However, the woman is weak after giving birth and is always sweating. Plus breastfeeding, who can bear it after this month?

The couple took a good soak in the bathhouse and then rubbed themselves from head to toe, finally feeling refreshed.

After coming out, Wang Chunxiu dried her daughter's hair, put on her coat, covered her scarf and hat tightly, and hurried home.

The Sheng family is very lively right now. The big pot in the yard is cooking a pot of meat.

For her son's full moon wine, Sheng Xiping started preparing several days in advance and led Sheng Xi'an and Wang Jianshe up the mountain for several days.

We shot a sow, a sow that died every year, and also caught two roe deer, several pheasants, hares, etc.

There are pig heads and meat in the pot, and rabbits and pheasants are stewed in the house. These time-consuming dishes have been prepared in advance. The side dishes will be added tomorrow and they will be stewed for a while.

When the in-laws came to see the child, the Sheng Liancheng couple naturally entertained them well. They cooked eight dishes in the evening and invited Wang Jiachuan and Liu Changde to have a nice meal together.

In the evening, Wang Chunxiu and Zhang Shuzhen stayed in the west room, accompanying Zhou Qinglan and helping to take care of Sheng Xinyu.

Sheng Xinyu, who was quite relieved during confinement, may have suffered from flatulence and a bit of nausea in the past few days.

Wang Chunxiu took the opportunity to teach Zhou Qinglan how to take care of the child, help the child eliminate the flatulence in the stomach, and make the child feel more comfortable.

"My dear, thank you for understanding this. I thought the child was going to be in confinement."

Under Wang Chunxiu's manipulations, Xiao Xinyu let out a series of loud farts, and then he calmed down and closed his eyes to sleep without crying or fussing.

Zhang Shuzhen was surprised when she saw it and said with admiration.

In the past, when medicine was underdeveloped, most people didn't understand it. They just thought that the child was about to be born and was having confinement.

Generally, if the baby is in early confinement, he can be coaxed. If the baby is left alone for ten days and a half, he will get better slowly.

If someone is having severe confinement and sleeps during the day and cries at night, the old man will come up with a trick and ask someone to write a note.

"Emperor of Heaven, Emperor of Earth, there is a night cry man in my family. In the past, gentlemen would read this three times and sleep until dawn."

Post the note on a big tree on the roadside, and people passing by will read it when they see it. It is said that the children will stop crying.

Zhang Shuzhen was an uneducated woman and didn't know much about these things. When Sheng Xiping was a child, her mother-in-law and natal mother were not around, so she had to figure out how to raise her children on her own.

When she arrived at her grandson's place, Sheng Xinhua was troubled in the first few days after she was born, but she got better later and was very easy to coax. Zhang Shuzhen didn't understand what flatulence was.

So Zhang Shuzhen was particularly impressed when she saw her grandson neither crying nor making trouble in Wang Chunxiu's hands.

"Sister-in-law, who among us knew these things before? Aren't they all just fooling around? Have the children grown up? It's all the same."

Wang Chunxiu laughed when she heard it. She only learned this through constant learning and summarizing.

When Zhou Qingyang and the others were young, who cared about this?

The child was crying at night these days. Although Zhang Shuzhen helped, Zhou Qinglan was not in the mood to sleep because of the child's crying, so he felt a little haggard.

Now with Wang Chunxiu's help and Zhang Shuzhen's presence, Zhou Qinglan is only responsible for breastfeeding at night and sleeps the rest of the time, so she feels more at ease.

The next day, it will be the day when the Sheng family has full moon wine.

Early in the morning, Sheng Xiping got up to fetch water, but when he opened the door, he found two deer piled at the door.

Needless to say, Huahua must have sent this in the middle of the night.

Over the past year, Huahua has not been so diligent in sending prey back. Sometimes it takes twenty days in half a month, and sometimes it takes about once a month.

Sheng Xiping guessed that Huahua was now bigger and his territory might have expanded.

Tigers patrol their territory almost every day, chasing away uninvited guests.

As the territory expands, it takes more time to patrol around. It is normal to come back less frequently.

Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that today there was a banquet at home, and Huahua happened to bring a deer.

Sheng Xiping took a look and saw that they were a male and a female.

In this season, deer are entering the breeding season. It is estimated that these two deer are a pair, and they were eaten by Huahua.

I don’t know how much effort Huahua put in to drag both deer to the forest farm.

It's interesting to say that the dogs at home are good hunters, and they can smell prey from a long distance away.

But every time Huahua brought prey, the things were left outside the door, and the family dog ​​remained silent.

Sheng Xiping wondered, maybe the smell left by the tiger was so strong that the dog was too frightened to make a sound.

Sheng Xiping dragged the two deer into the yard, and then called Sheng Xi'an to fetch water. He quickly disemboweled the deer to prevent them from being delicious.

The two deer are very complete. The male deer's antlers have become bone and have several branches, which look like small trees and are very beautiful.

Although this thing is not as effective as deer antler, it is still useful and cannot be thrown away.

Deer hearts, deer whips, deer tails, etc. are all good things, so I packed them up one by one.

The remaining venison can be used to stir-fry a few vegetables during the day, and leave some for Zhou Qinglan to nourish her body.

Sheng Xiping was here to clean up the two deer, and Zhang Shuzhen got up to clean up and cook.

Breakfast is simple, just cook some small rice porridge, heat up two-fold noodle pancakes and the leftover vegetables from last night.

She just had to make some food for Zhou Qinglan alone. Even though she was already in confinement, Zhang Shuzhen was still very careful about the food and could not treat her daughter-in-law badly.

So Zhang Shuzhen used a small aluminum pot with two ears to cook millet porridge for Zhou Qinglan alone. She simmered it longer and added a layer of rice oil.

In addition, put two eggs in the pot to boil. After confinement, it will not be easy to eat so many eggs. Two eggs a day will be enough.

There was movement in the outer room, and Wang Chunxiu also woke up. She wanted to come out and help Zhang Shuzhen with the work, but at this time Sheng Xinyu woke up and started crying before she could open her eyes.

Wang Chunxiu took a look and quickly opened his grandson's quilt to take a look. Sure enough, his pants were wet with urine.

So she quickly changed the baby's diaper, fed her, and burped her baby. After finishing all these tasks, Zhang Shuzhen had almost finished cooking.

"My mother-in-law, let's eat. Girl, should I bring your food to this room for you, or should you go to the east room with your mother-in-law to eat?"

Zhang Shuzhen pushed open the door of the west room, poked her head in and asked.

Zhou Qinglan looked at Sheng Xinyu, who had just finished feeding and was staring blankly, "Mom, I'd better eat in this room."

The second child has been a bit troublesome recently, crying when he can't see her. Zhou Qinglan was worried that she would go to the east room to eat, and the little guy was crying, so he simply stayed in the west room to eat.
