Civilian Edition Traveling Farming Diary

As the weather turned cold, we all put on slightly thicker clothes, except for Chen Xiang, who walked around with a big belly every day, screaming for heat.

Two new members came to the family, especially fierce new members.

It started six days ago.

Aunt Li said that the child is now a month old, and it is best to eat some goose eggs, so that the amniotic fluid is clear, the child has less fetal poison, and looks good. I don’t know what fetal poison is, and I think there is no poison in Chen Xiang’s stomach, but Aunt Li said pay attention Every family will find a way to get some goose eggs for those who are about to give birth. I thought that goose eggs are so big and delicious, and it is always good to eat, so I asked around where there are goose eggs.

There are indeed, but goose eggs are very expensive, half a tael of silver each, which is a big deal!

For this, I have to order in advance. I ordered ten, and Chen Xiang will eat one every other day. It can last for 20 days. If there are more, I am afraid it will not be fresh.

Then two days ago I went to get goose eggs. This family raised more than a dozen geese. As soon as I entered the door, the yard was full of squawking, making a lot of noise. Their goose eggs are very fresh. I took ten and spent I paid five taels of silver, and thought that I would have to eat after giving birth. Do I have to keep buying like this? It’s so troublesome. Since I have a Zhuangzi, why don’t I raise two myself, which can not only eat goose eggs, but also guard the door. Didn’t everyone say that big white geese are as fierce as dogs? I don’t plan to raise dogs, because there is no rabies vaccine here. It would be good to have two big white geese.

So I ordered two big white geese from that family. He said that his geese were all young and strong enough to lay eggs, and he would not sell them. He had to ask me if they had them from the house that bought goose seedlings.

I said, give me two if you have one, and it’s best if you can lay eggs.

Yesterday they sent me a message saying that geese would be available in a few days and asked me to get them today.

As soon as I entered their yard today, I saw two big white geese locked in a rattan cage. When they saw me, they quacked vigorously. The goose egg seller told me that the two geese had already started laying eggs, but they changed to a new environment. You won't be able to lay eggs, you have to wait for a while to get used to it, it doesn't matter, as long as you can lay eggs.

The two big white geese were quite heavy, and Xiliu and I carried them to the Zhuangzi. Lao Zhu liked them very much. He said they could lay eggs and watch the house, and they were full of treasures, but the experts in the shed were like enemies. They said The destructive power of big white geese cannot be underestimated, so we must be careful not to let them enter the greenhouse.

These experts have to stay in Fengzhou for two years before leaving, and then they will be assigned to various parts of the country to provide technical guidance. The promotion of greenhouses has a long way to go, and they have to pay a lot of hard work and sacrifice.

They closed the door of the shed in a tacit understanding, and then Lao Zhu released the two big white geese. The two geese were locked in a cage and we carried them all the way. They had a lot of resentment. Quack yelled loudly and ran around, Lao Zhu's little grandson threw stones at them, and was chased and ran around Zhuangzi several times, screaming in fright.

The big white goose ran really fast, and the two short legs ran out of the shadows.

After chasing for a while, they suddenly found the newly planted beans in my field, immediately gave up chasing the little boy, and plunged into the field to eat the bean sprouts!

Ah, two bastards!

I wish them to catch them quickly. The big white goose is not afraid of people at all, and it will not go away. It just wants to eat, and it will peck people if they dare to do it. The experts are very grateful that they closed the greenhouse door in advance.

There are a lot of people in Zhuangzi, and everyone quickly built a nest for the big white goose. It is a small open space surrounded by a fence. Because of the greenhouse, we still have enough materials here. Experts say that it takes time Just build them a masonry nest.

Then the problem is how to drive those two bastards into the nest, they can attack and defend, and they are really difficult to deal with. In the end, Lao Zhu's daughter-in-law took the kitchen knife viciously, and killed them and ate the meat if they were disobedient. The two big geese calmed down and were finally driven into the nest.

Old Zhu's daughter-in-law said with a smile that these things are smart, and they have to be scared.

Hey, Man Zhuangzi made two geese eat a bear, amazing.

These two geese are quite fat, and I guess they are usually the ones who can compete for the geese in the flock. I even think that the goose sellers can't stand them, so they sold them to me.

I thought about the weight of the cage when I lifted it, and decided it was time to buy a wagon.

I went to Zhao Laosi's carpenter's workshop and said that I wanted to hire a carriage, and Zhao Laosi charged a sky-high price.

How expensive are carriages!

Tears streamed down my face, but we still had what we needed. After all, Chen Xiang was about to give birth, and we needed a carriage very much, whether it was for Chen Xiang to travel, or to take the children out to play in the future, we needed it very much.

I request that the cushion must be soft and the backrest must be soft.

The requirements must be good-looking and strong, Zhao Laosi remembered it, we ordered the size and color, and I left, it cost dozens of taels of silver!

Moreover, the construction period is very long. It is estimated that it will not be completed until Chen Xiang gives birth to the child. It is also because of me. If others are afraid, it will be slower.

I made a mistake, I should have ordered it sooner.

Chen Xiang is a little nervous now, and he is about to give birth in more than a month. He has a little prenatal anxiety, and he is very worried about whether the birth will be smooth, whether there will be milk after the birth, and when he will recover. He cared about me so he had to do his homework. I went to ask Hao Langzhong some things, and then I asked Wen Po, and I ran into Cui Changyu on the way home today.

He said a few words to me. I remembered that Qingping ate fish maw and pigeon soup, so I asked him. Glue can be eaten during pregnancy, and can also be eaten after confinement. It nourishes qi and blood and is good for the body.

He also gave me the address of the person who bought the pigeons. You can buy the fish maw from Boss Leng. I thanked him and asked the person who sold the pigeons. His pigeons include homing pigeons and special meat for sale to others. The pigeons to eat have to be ordered in advance. They don’t sell much and the quantity is very small. In order to avoid running out at that time, I ordered early. The man said that ordering three or four pigeons is enough. Pigeons are not cheap. After paying the deposit, you can have someone pick it up on the day of birth.

Maw is a precious thing, my God I found out that all the things used to give birth are expensive!

Boss Leng has some, but not many. He said that it doesn’t need to be of particularly high quality, just medium quality. The very good ones are usually used as medicine for injured people. I don’t know much about it, but Boss Leng doesn’t know much Good character is good, so there is no need for him not to sell me expensive ones, but to sell ordinary ones to me instead.

Ordinary fish maws are not small. Boss Leng is quite proud to say that the ordinary ones here are not of ordinary quality. He said that stewed chicken, stewed fish or stewed milk will be fine after returning home.

This food is very fishy, ​​and if you want to make it delicious, stewed fish is more suitable. Sister Song said that she can remove the fishy smell, and stewed chicken is also fine, but it is difficult to stew milk. It may not be delicious, and I don’t want Chen Xiang eats a lot of sugar, so let her stew fish and chicken.

Chen Xiang's body is getting heavier and heavier. He is very worried that his belly will have stretch marks. He has to apply oil every day to make his belly shiny. His belly button is protruding, and his belly is not good-looking at all, but is my baby.

Big and small are my babies!

The weather is fine on the [-]th day of September in the year of Xin Chou

I was going to pick up two stable women to live in today, but one of them has a baby to deliver in the past two days, so only one of them was picked up.

This steady woman is very good at technique and very patient. She touched Chen Xiang's belly and said that the child's head is upside down, which is in order. Don't worry, and the child will not turn over again when he is so old. When the time comes, as long as he is obedient, he will can be born.

We were relieved, Chen Xiang asked if he could find out how old the child was, and whether a big hole would be made by then.

Wen Po told us that the size of the child is still okay. They think that older children are easier to raise. I don't agree with it, but in this era of poor medical conditions, it is true that strong and big children are more likely to survive than thin ones.

Wen Po said that giving birth is a very painful process. We should not lie to ourselves, but we must be prepared. When the time comes, calm down, follow their instructions, cooperate with breathing, and use force to give birth in the shortest time.

As for the big hole in the lower body, it must be opened, and it will last for a long time. This is unavoidable. Wen Po asked me to prepare some meat, noodles, etc., and eat it to replenish my energy. Having a baby is very exhausting. .

I thought about it for a while, and I plan to make burgers for Chen Xiang. I can buy some bread from Boss Su, then fry the meatloaf, and spread the sauce on it. Chen Xiang will definitely like it. This is high in calories, so I can eat two at that time. .

Chen Xiang was very scared, and Wen Po told him not to be afraid, but to believe in himself, the child could feel his father's mood in his stomach, and if Chen Xiang was nervous, the child would also be nervous, so he dared not come out.

Chen Xiang was even more frightened.

But at night, he still seriously told the child in his belly to work hard and not to be afraid.

I also told the baby to work hard, drill out hard, the two fathers are looking forward to you!

Wen Po is a restless person, she likes to talk, and she also talked about some things to prepare for confinement. She said that she needs to prepare a lot of ginger, and she can’t wash her hair and take a bath for a month after giving birth. , otherwise cold air invades and it is easy to cause the root cause of the disease. You must prepare soft-soled cotton shoes. During the confinement period, you must wrap your heels well, otherwise the heels will hurt. During the confinement period, you must maintain a good mood and do not cry.

I also asked Sister Song to learn to make all kinds of milk soup, crucian carp milk, pig's trotters milk, fish maw can also be eaten, so drink more soup.

So I made a calculation, and I had to prepare more sheets, pillowcases, and Chen Xiang's underwear. Mrs. Wen said that if there is too much milk, it may leak out, and the quilt needs to be changed in the middle of the night.

The kang had to be heated, and both Chen Xiang and the child needed to keep warm, and their clothes had to be heated on the kang before they could wear them.

Mrs. Wen was full of praise for my kang, and said that if the engineering team comes next year, her house will also get one. It is so comfortable to sleep on the kang in winter!

This kang is only enough for two people to sleep. At that time, Chen Xiang will sleep with the child, and Sister Song will accompany her here. I will live in another room. They are afraid that I will not be able to take care of the child when I get up in the middle of the night, and they also very tactfully revealed that they are afraid of me. In estrus, Chen Xiang was treated like this and that during the confinement period, that would be very hurtful.
