The silly and sweet spring of crossing

Chapter 8. Birth of Baozi (3)

"Oh." This time Qiu Baichen didn't say a bunch of words in response to He Lanyuzhi, but just let out a oh, and then looked at him, He Lanyuzhi suddenly felt his ears were quiet, and his mood was much more comfortable.He sat for a while, it felt so good to be able to breathe the fresh air outside, then he stood up with his crutches, Qiu Baichen watched from the side, ready to come up to help at any time, but He Lanyuzhi never asked him to help, stubbornly Stand up by yourself.

When he got up, Qiu Baichen sat down straight away, at first he was still looking at He Lanyuzhi, but then he started yawning, his eyes went blank, and he felt sleepy again.He Lanyuzhi kept walking in the yard. He could feel that he had martial arts, and he still remembered some moves in his body, so he didn't have to strenuously walk.Qiu Baichen took a nap and became more awake. Seeing that He Lanyu was very stable and didn't need his intervention, he stood up and went to Lu Ping's next door.

"Sister Ping." He knocked on the door, and He Lan Yuzhi, who was walking casually in the courtyard, walked slowly towards Lu Ping, leaning against the courtyard wall of the two families, listening to what they said.

"Sister Ping, do you know where I can hire someone who can help me make lamps? There are no other requirements. It's okay if you haven't done it before. You just need to be smart and diligent." Qiu Baichen asked Lu Ping, and Lu Ping thought for a moment.

"There are special dentists in the county who can help you find it, but it's hard to find it like you said, and it should cost a lot of money." She put down the embroidery work in her hand, "I also look at the lamps you made. Now, most people won’t be able to learn it in a short time, and if they don’t do it well, it will ruin their brand.”

"That can't be helped. Yesterday, Boss Cao asked the guy to come over and say that he can accept the lamps I made and he will sell them. I will give birth after the Mid-Autumn Festival. If this business can be done, I won't have to worry about it for a long time. The frame of my lantern is almost done, but the rest of the work is not easy." Qiu Baichen sat down, touched his belly casually, and the child inside kicked him casually.

"Is the child good now?" Lu Ping also looked at his belly and asked with a smile.

"I'm not good, I have to kick me several times a day, I'm full of energy." Qiu Baichen also smiled, full of anticipation for the birth of the child in his stomach.

"It's not convenient for you to go out now. I just go to hand in the embroidery work tomorrow. Ask Yaren if there is any suitable one. If there is any suitable one, we can make up the wages first. I heard that the Lantern Festival will be held very soon. Big, making money is for sure." Lu Ping patted Qiu Baichen on the shoulder to comfort him, the relationship between the two is very good now, and there is nothing taboo about talking normally.

"He Lin's clothes and used diapers are still there when he was a child. If you don't mind, I'll wash them and bring them to you in a few days. It's good for children to use old things. He Lin at that time There is no elder brother above, and his father dislikes other people's things, so he made new ones for him, which are enough to wear now." Lu Ping said that the custom is also in Qiu Baichen's family, and the old clothes are softer, which is less irritating to children's skin.And He Lin is now healthy and smart, and he can use the things he used before to make auspicious things.

"I didn't think of this, so I'll trouble Sister Ping. I didn't expect you to tell me if there is anything to pay attention to." Qiu Baichen was not polite to her.

"Ah."

"Sister Ping, what happened to what you said earlier?" Qiu Baichen asked.

"Later, I asked my sisters back then. My mother is fine now. She is not very old, but she has not been in good health." Lu Ping said, "I asked her to bring some things to see my mother. I know if it goes well or not."

"It's fine, there is no mother in the world who doesn't like her child, it must be fine." Qiu Baichen comforted her, and Lu Ping calmed down.Although the incident back then was unpleasant, but the former friends have not alienated her yet, thinking about it is already very good.

Qiu Baichen didn't bother Lu Ping any more, and went back. When he heard him coming back, He Lanyuzhi, who was still listening to the corner of the wall, left immediately and went to the other side to practice walking.

He came in to check on He Lanyuzhi, and after confirming that he was all right, Qiu Baichen went into the house to wash the vegetables and prepare to cook.He filled the firewood and started the fire. When the pot was dry, he poured the oil in and boiled until the bubbles on the oil surface disappeared. He added the onion and ginger and sautéed until fragrant. Add salt and pepper powder, etc. and fry.

There was a smell coming from the kitchen, Qiu Baichen was cooking, and He Lanyuzhi, who was still walking around, leaned against the door and looked at him.

Qiu Baichen had a big belly and couldn't bend down completely, and the big iron pot they used was very deep, so Qiu Baichen added a section to the shovel for convenience.He was cooking with a shovel in one hand, and supported his waist with the other hand. He looked trembling, but after a while, he was dripping with sweat, his fair face was reddened by the heat, and he looked pitiful.

He Lanyuzhi looked at it for a while, and suddenly realized what he was doing, so he thought it was too hot and smelly, so he went back to the wing and sat down, massaging his legs.

After he left, Qiu Baichen took out the dishes and put them aside to continue doing other things. He even took a look outside and saw that He Lanyu was not there.

"It's time to eat." After a while, Qiu Baichen brought the food to the side room and put it on the table, and moved two stools to the side of the table.He Lanyu got off the bed and sat down on crutches.

"This is pork skin jelly. I boiled it yesterday. I iced it with well water. You can eat it with soy sauce." Qiu Baichen bought the pig skin. It was cheap and didn't cost much, so he bought some.There are also two other dishes, one is garlic lettuce, one is stewed tofu with crucian carp, the crucian carp is very small, it was delivered by Zhang Rui in the morning.

"Eat more tofu, it's calcium-supplementing, and it's rich in protein. It's good for your legs." He said something that He Lanyuzhi couldn't understand, then picked up a piece of jelly and dipped it in some soy sauce, and ate it. There is no meat added, so it is not fragrant, and there is not much taste except for the salty taste of soy sauce, but it tastes good and cool, so he picked up another piece.He Lanyuzhi ate some lettuce and then tofu, but the fish did not move.

He Lanyu was full soon.

"Don't you like to eat fish? I cooked it specially for you today. Why don't you eat any of it?" Qiu Baichen said when he saw that he put down his chopsticks but the fish didn't move at all.The fact that He Lanyuzhi loves fish is not what He Lanyuzhi said, but Qiu Baichen saw it. Every time he made fish before, Helan Yuzhi would eat a lot secretly, so he knew that he liked fish, so When there are fish, I specially leave more for him.

"Eat more, nourish your brain." He Lanyuzhi walked out on crutches to digest his food, leaving Qiu Baichen laughing out loud, lying on the side of the table trembling, feeling like his stomach hurts from laughing.Why is He Lan Yuzhi so funny? Is this a concern?

But Qiu Baichen couldn't eat anymore, so he put away the leftover vegetables and kept them in cold water from the well. The temperature is too high now, and the food will get moldy if he is not careful, so he still has to save it for extra meals.

After dinner, Qiu Baichen went to the side room thinking about making some lanterns, but before finishing one, he felt pain in his back and arms.Because I can't bend down, I can only hold the lantern, which is uncomfortable and slow.

Qiu Baichen tried his best to finish one, then gave up struggling, stood up with his waist supported, thinking that he should wait for Lu Ping to come back to see if there is any suitable person on Yaren's side.

He always felt that there was still hope for this matter. A duck with its mouth full couldn't just fly like this, could it?At night, he mixed some cold water into the hot water that had been drying in the basin for a long time, and brought it to He Lanyuzhi.He Lanyuzhi saw that he was struggling to carry the basin, so he took it over.

"The legs have been a little swollen for the past two days, and I can't walk as quickly as before." Qiu Baichen has paid attention to supplementing protein, but recently he doesn't eat much meat because he has no money. He only eats tofu, but he didn't expect his legs to be so swollen. Once you press a small pit, it will take a while to fully return to its original state.

He Lanyuzhi didn't understand this, and he didn't have the responsibility to comfort Qiu Baichen, so he didn't speak when he heard it.Fortunately, Qiu Baichen just wanted to talk to one person, and it didn't matter whether he answered or not.

Another day passed, and in the afternoon, Qiu Baichen waited for Lu Ping. Lu Ping was holding a greased paper bag and stuffed it into his hand. Qiu Baichen saw that it was a piece of pork.

"The Yaman said that there is no one suitable for him now." Lu Ping said, Qiu Baichen nodded, not rejecting Lu Ping's kindness.

"The owner who accepted my embroidery work today was very happy, so he gave me some rewards. I bought a piece of meat, and I still have some left over." Lu Ping and Qiu Baichen said that she was kind to Qiu Baichen, but He Lin was about to go to school, and she also had a sense of proportion. .

"I talked to Yaman over there, if there is a suitable one, let me know."

"If it's really not there, forget it." Qiu Baichen said, "If it's really not possible, let's do it first, and it will be convenient when the child is born."

Lu Ping didn't speak when he heard him say this, which was really shocking.Qiu Baichen didn't mention this matter, he put the meat away, and planned how to cook it.

Before he knew it, the agreed five days had passed, and Qiu Baichen still hadn't found a suitable person. His body was getting heavier every day, and his energy was getting worse every day. Sometimes he could fall asleep while sitting there, and I fell down, but fortunately the child is fine.

Qiu Baichen was taking a nap under the awning, when he heard a knock on the door, it was the guy from the lantern shop who had come.

"How about it, Boss Qiu, have you figured it out? This is the contract drawn up by our shopkeeper. If you can do it, you can take a look. If there is no problem, we will sign this contract when the shopkeeper comes." The man looked at Qiu Baichen, Qiu Baichen also looked at the buddy.

"It's really inconvenient on my side, I'm worried about Shopkeeper Cao." Qiu Baichen said the words of refusal, the guy sighed, feeling very sorry, both sides have sincerity, it's a pity that the sky is not beautiful.

"That's okay..."

"He took the business."
