Portable Space: Dressing Up as a Little Brother

Everyone was talking about preparing for the ritual of baptism, and Lin Ming and the others had already started preparations in the past few days.And Xiao Yu'er continued to eat, sleep and nourish his body and tease his son.Qian Ahma also stayed at Lin's house, and planned to stay there until the child was baptized and then went back to Qian's mansion.

Xisan is the third day after the baby is born. A bathing ceremony is held to gather relatives and friends to wish the baby good luck. This is "Xisan", also known as "Three Dynasty Xi'er". The purpose of "washing three" is to wash the dirt and eliminate disasters and avoid difficulties; the second is to pray for good fortune and good luck.

Lin Zhengze invited the birth father to Lin's mansion again because of the sanitation ceremony.Because the third baptism needs to be presided over by the birth father, and after the birth father presides over the third baptism, there will be red envelopes and gifts.

Lin Ming and the others had already informed their close relatives and friends about the child's baptism in advance, and now the birth father has also been invited.It can be done directly on the day of washing three.

Soon it will be the day of washing three.This day, Xiao Yuer also woke up a lot earlier on purpose, and then waited for the morning food.He held the child and talked with Qian Ahmo and the others, waiting for the guests to come.But Yun Chen and Liu Shu are already busy.

Before the "three washes", the Lin family prepared the navel hairpin, apron cloth, millet, gold and silver locks, liters, buckets, locks, scales, small mirrors, toothbrushes, and tongue scrapers according to the requirements of the birth father as usual. Zi, green cloth tips, green tea leaves, new combs, new cages, rouge powder, pig pancreas soap balls, new handkerchiefs, copper tea trays, green onions, ginger slices, mugwort leaves, baking cages, incense candles, money, raw and cooked eggs, sticks, etc. .It is also necessary to boil Huai Tiao Pu AI water, dye red Guiyuan and raw peanuts with rouge.

On the day of "Washing Three", close relatives of the Lin family came to congratulate one after another.Most of them give some oil cakes, eggs, jaggery and other food to the puerpera, as well as clothes, shoes, socks, etc. used by the children as gifts.Because Xiao Yu'er was going to confinement, she stayed in the house all the time and didn't go out.Outside are Yunchen and Liu Shu receiving guests.

Washing three ceremonies usually entertains guests with a meal of fried noodles. Wealthy families only have more food and wine, and the staple food must be noodles, commonly known as "washing three noodles".Yun Chen and Liu Shu had already ordered the kitchen to start making noodles, just to entertain guests during meals.When sitting at the table, you need to let the birth father sit in the front seat and treat him as a guest of honor.

The "washing three" ceremony is usually held after lunch and is presided over by the birth father.After lunch that day, the Lin family began the ritual of baptism.First of all, set up an incense table on the front of the outer hall of the delivery room to worship the gods.There is millet in the censer, which is used as incense ash.A pair of small red candles are inserted on the wax skewer, and yellow coins, ingots, and thousands of pieces of money and food for worshiping the gods are pressed underneath.

There are also statues of gods on the bedside of the delivery room, and three to five bowls of oil cakes are used as offerings.Then, the servants of the Lin family placed the copper basin containing the soup made from locust leaves and mugwort leaves and all the etiquette items on the bed.At this time, the birth father picked up the child, and the prelude to "washing three" was about to begin.

At this time, the Lin family will take the lead in adding a small spoonful of water to the basin according to their seniority, and then put some silver or copper coins, which is called "adding the basin".If gold, silver and copper coins are added, they can be placed directly in the basin; if silver bills are added, they should be placed in a tea tray.In addition, you can also add some happy fruits such as red dates and peanuts.

After the Lin family finished adding pots, other relatives and friends also began to add pots.The birth father has a fixed set of congratulatory speeches, what others add, what he says.Seeing someone adding clear water, they said, "Long flowing water, smart and clever"; seeing adding some happy fruits such as longan, red dates, chestnuts, etc., they began to say: "Zaoer Lizi ("Zao" and "Zao" are homophonic, "Li" and "Li" are homophonic), Liansheng Guizi ("Gui" and "Gui" are homophonic); longan, Guiyuan, Lianzhong Sanyuan." The birth father said this is also auspicious, and it also makes the Lin family and guests like it.

After the "refilling the pot" was completed, the birth father picked up the mallet and stirred it into the pot, saying: "Stir it once, stir it twice, stir it again and again, and the elder brother will lead the younger brother to run away." Only then did he begin to bathe the child.If a child starts to cry, not only does it not violate the taboo, but it is considered auspicious, which is called "sounding basin".However, Xiaoyuer's bun was sleeping soundly, so he was undressed and put into the basin to take a bath.Of course I was upset and started crying.But other people don't care why he cried, as long as he cried out loud, it counted.

While bathing the steamed stuffed bun, the birth father recited congratulatory speeches, such as "wash your hair first, and become a prince; wash your waist afterward, and one generation will be taller than one generation; wash and wash eggs, and become a magistrate; wash the ditch, and become a magistrate."Then, light it with mugwort leaves, and place it on the forehead of the steamed stuffed bun with ginger slices as a support, and burn it symbolically.Then comb the child's hair and dress up, what to say: "Three combs, two combs, wear a red top when you grow up; draw eyebrows on the left, and temples on the right, find a husband in the fourth village; brush your teeth, rinse your mouth, follow People don't lose their ugliness when they speak."

Then roll the egg on the bun's face, and then said: "Roll the egg on the face, the face is like egg skin, the willow red is like white, you are really a lover." Lightly hit the body three times, saying: "One dozen smart ("cong" and "cong" homophonic), two dozen smart." Then he asked his servants to throw the green onions on the roof, mainly to wish the children smart in the future Extreme meaning.

When I got here, I started to pick up the weight and made gestures, saying: "Although the weight is small, it weighs a thousand catties."This is to wish that the child will have a pivotal position when he grows up.Also pick up the lock and make three gestures: "I've grown up, my head is tight, my feet are tight, and my hands are tight."This is a wish for children to grow up to be steady and cautious.

Then put the child on the tea tray, tuck the baby with the gold and silver zippers or jewelry prepared in advance by the Lin family, and say: "Put gold on the left and silver on the right, if you can't spend it, reward the servants", wishing the child grow up Afterwards, Fu Dalu has great fortune and fortune.Finally, I took a picture of Baozi's buttocks with a small mirror, and said: "Use a mirror to take a look at the buttocks, and the shit in the daytime will be clean."

When he arrived here, Ama Qian invited the god-worshiping money and grains together with the incense roots, and sent them to the courtyard for incineration.The birth father then wrapped the ashes in red paper and pressed them under the kang mat, saying that he would stay by the bedside forever and keep the adults and children safe.In the end, I congratulated the whole Lin family, of course to ask for a few rewards.Lin Ming and the others were not stingy, so they gave a big red envelope.

After the birth father presided over the three baptisms, in addition to the red envelopes given by the host, there were other things to take.The millet, eggs, xiguo, scattered offerings and other things used as incense ashes can all be taken away by the birth father.

The little bun from Xiao Yu'er's family was very obedient during the whole cleaning process.Except for crying a few times when I first entered the water, I kept looking around with my eyes wide open.And when the midwife tossed him upside down, he didn't make trouble, thinking that others were teasing him.It has always been dancing with hands and feet, moving around there.

After the third wash, the little bun was quickly put on thick clothes.Now the weather is a bit cold, I'm afraid he will catch a cold.Baozi was tired after being played with for a long time, and after returning to Xiao Yu'er's arms, he soon fell asleep.

After the three baptisms were completed, the Lin family held a banquet for everyone.After the meal was over, everyone said goodbye one after another and left.Only the Qian family, Lin Baiwei and Lin Juanyu stayed at the end.

They saw that the child fell asleep, and Xiao Yu'er didn't take a nap today, so they didn't bother them.The others all left Xiao Yu'er's house, and let the father and son sleep peacefully.

Xiao Yu'er slept until midnight before waking up.During this period, Yunchen and the others entered the house several times, mainly to change diapers and feed the little bun.Seeing Xiao Yu'er sleeping so soundly, they took the child away to take care of him.Let Lin Zhengze take care of Xiao Yuer alone.

Xiao Yu'er felt hungry when he woke up, but found that it was midnight, and Lin Zhengze was sleeping beside him.He didn't want to get up and ask his servants to get food, because it would definitely wake Lin Zhengze up.Recently, Lin Zhengze was exhausted due to his childbirth.He wants him to sleep well.

Xiao Yuer kept his eyes open for a long time on the bed, really wanting to eat.I just wanted to go into the space to eat something.Last time, he and Dad cooked some potatoes, tender yellow grains and eggs in the space.He can go in and eat a little to be full, and he hasn't drank much spring water in the space recently.He thought about going in to drink some spring water, and then see if he wanted to take a bath in it.

Because he is currently in confinement, he hasn't taken a bath these days, but Lin Zhengze wiped his body every day before going to bed.But he didn't take a bath and just wiped his body, he felt very uncomfortable.So he is going to take a bath in the space, and the spring water in the space is warm, so he won't feel cold.Coupled with the good effect of the space spring water, his body should get better after soaking in the space spring water.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Yu'er paid attention to Lin Zhengze's breathing.After waiting for a while, feeling that Lin Zhengze was indeed fast asleep, he directly entered the space.It's a good thing that Lin Zhengze didn't sleep with his arms around him tonight, otherwise he was afraid of waking Lin Zhengze up.

After Xiao Yuer entered the space, he went to pick some fruit to eat.Then I went into the kitchen, took the tender yellow grains and started to chew.When you are thirsty, use a gourd ladle to scoop up water to drink.In the kitchen, he has buckets of spring water at all times, just for him to come in and drink at a time like this.In this way, you don't have to fetch water from the spring every time you want to drink water.

Xiao Yuer ate two yellow sticks and then a medium-sized potato, and found that his stomach was already full.He didn't eat boiled eggs any more. Anyway, his family gave him eggs every day in the past few days, and he was already tired of eating them.

After the little fish was full, he began to bathe in spring water.After he took a warm bath, he found that he was refreshed.And it may be because of the spring water in the space, now he finds that his body is not so weak anymore.It feels very good.

After Xiao Yu'er took a bath, he felt tired again.He is really much more comfortable staying in the space than outside.So he didn't want to leave the space all of a sudden, he wanted to stay a little longer.Now that he was getting sleepy, he went straight into the bedroom in the space.Then I thought about going to bed and sleeping for a while, anyway, the flow of time in the space is different from the outside.He stays in the space for a long time, and it won't be long outside.

Xiao Yu'er fell asleep in the space with such a big heart.When he woke up, he got up and went straight out of the space.

When Xiao Yu'er first came out of the space, he was directly on the bed he entered again.It's just that he discovered a big problem, Lin Zhengze had already woken up.And now she was dumbfounded watching him suddenly appear on the bed.Xiao Yu'er looked at the sky and found that it was still dark outside.That is to say, the time he was in the space has not been too long outside.It's just that Lin Zhengze woke up suddenly, it's miserable now.
