Pan Jinlian's petty bourgeoisie life

Seeing the midwife approaching, he immediately slapped her hard:

"But it's here! Otherwise, don't talk about having a baby, I'm dying of anxiety."

The woman came over and lifted the quilt to take a look, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief:

"I still think it's a dystocia. Isn't it going well? Hurry up and give me a hard time!"

smoothly?Pan Jinlian didn't think it was going well, she just felt that there was no place on her body that was not in pain, but her throat was burning when she wanted to shout out, so she could only yell a few words in a low voice, the Li family The mother-in-law hurriedly took a few slices of ginseng, opened her mouth and pressed it under her tongue, and shouted from the side:

"Work hard! Work hard!"

It's busy here, and it's noisy outside.Chai Wu went back and forth in the yard, his head was covered with sweat, and his long gown was drenched in salty water. After Ying'er boiled the hot water, the old woman of the Shen family was not allowed to enter the house, and only told her to wait at the door Waiting outside, so with a black face, he followed Chai Wu around wildly, while clasping the two-palm Bodhisattva Buddha's wild begging.

Naturally, Chai Li's yard also heard the news, and she had already sent Zhou's mother-in-law to bring people over, looking for people to report the news over and over again, Chai Wang and Chai Lin also accompanied Chai Li to the place. In the small Buddhist hall, pray to Buddha and chant sutras to bless mother and child.

It wasn't until midnight that there was a loud cry from the room. The Shen family woman rushed out first, wiped the sweat from her head, and yelled:

"Congratulations officer, congratulations officer, you are a big fat boy!"

Chai Wu stood still suddenly, as if he didn't hear what the Shen family's mother-in-law said, he stamped his foot in a daze for a while, and asked:

"Is it a son? Mother and child are safe?"

"Mother and child are safe, a big fat boy who weighs six catties! He looks so handsome, how many little ladies must be fascinated when he grows up!"

The Shen family's mother-in-law was talking nonsense, the newborn child was just a red and wrinkled ball, no one could tell what was ugly and handsome, and it was just for the sake of getting a good start.

Chai Wu was really overjoyed, and took out a consistent coin from his sleeve:

"Auntie is working hard! Give Auntie some wine to soothe her tiredness with this little money, and there will definitely be rewards in the future!"

"That's thanks to the officer."

The mother-in-law of the Shen family took it away with a smile, and brought a basin of hot water into the kitchen. The midwife bathed the child in her arms, and the child's mother had already passed out.

"Go to stew chicken soup. When the lady wakes up, she will have a hot drink to nourish her body. I also have to prepare millet, eggs and brown sugar. Bring the children's clothes and diapers. Where is the shaker?"

She asked a question, and the Shen family's wife answered beside her:

"The chicken soup has already been stewed, the millet and brown sugar are all ready, the clothes and diapers are all in the wing room, I will bring the shaker here, everything is here, these things are all here."

As he said that, he went outside to hang a cloth strip, and the Zhou family also rushed to the Chai Li's yard to report:

"It was born, a son was born!"

Mrs. Chai Li hurriedly bowed to the Buddha statue a few times, and said with a smile:

"Buddha blesses, mother and child are safe, come on, hurry up and send the tonic I prepared, and let the housekeeper tell the master... The master is sick, if you are happy, maybe the disease will be cured."

Mrs. Chai Wang next to him agreed to go, but Mrs. Chai Lin, with a sad face, laughed twice, and helped Mrs. Chai and Li get up:

"Finally, Chai Wu's family is very lucky."

"Exactly, this family hasn't heard the cry of a child for many years, and things are not going well in the family recently, so it can be regarded as joy." Mrs. Chai Li patted his daughter-in-law's arm and persuaded, "I know you I feel uncomfortable, but the fate of the women here is predestined by God, maybe this time the birth of Chai Wu's family can lead you to fulfill your wish."

Chai Lin sighed, but swallowed thousands of words, only replied in a low voice:

"Ma'am said that, I think so too, since it is the first child in our family, full moon..."

"Don't talk nonsense, who is Chai Wu? Even if he gave birth to a child, he can't be regarded as the grandson of Chai's parents." Chai Li smiled coldly, walked out of the Buddhist hall slowly, and said, "When his mother gave birth to him, he was sick. Wai Wai, it was not to the master's liking, so the genealogy was never included. Later, the woman was unlucky and died of an illness. I'm afraid that Chai Wuming would forcefully find a fortune teller to come over and show him. That's why the master has been dragging on. If you haven't entered our Chai family's genealogy, you are not from our Chai family, and you must not let them snatch the position of Chai's grandson!"

The cold wind in the alley blew past, and Chai Lin felt his body was cold, and couldn't help shivering, and hurriedly replied:

"Madam is still far-sighted, I know."

The two were talking, but their faces were full of smiles, as if they had received a great joy.

66 visit

Pan Jinlian woke up leisurely.

I only saw that the tent was tightly covered, my body was sticky and greasy, there was a smell of sweat around me, and my mouth was extremely thirsty, so I couldn't help but slowly stretched out my hand, lifted the corner of the tent, and was about to call someone, when I saw Ying'er opened her eyes wide and was looking inside, when she saw her wake up, she clapped her hands and said:

"Miss, are you awake? Are you thirsty or hungry? Do you want bird's nest porridge or ginseng chicken soup? They're all heating up on the stove. I'll bring them to you. Mistress must wait."

Pan Jinlian just wanted her to bring a glass of water, but her throat was tight. She could only wait for Ying'er to bring over the chicken soup and porridge, and took a sip of the chicken soup from her hand to moisten her throat before she opened her mouth. :

"Where is the child, is the child okay?"

"Okay, a fat boy who weighs six and a half catties, no, he's lying on the rocker, just fell asleep."

Ying'er pointed to a small rocking bed next to the bed, her face was full of joy, and Pan Jinlian was relieved, and she lay down again. As long as the child is good, her crime will not be in vain, and she really gave birth to a child It's almost like dying once.

Na Ying'er continued to babble:

"Aunt Shen and I took turns guarding the lady overnight. She had just gone to rest. The official wanted to come in, but was persuaded by Aunt Shen to leave, saying that men were not allowed to enter the delivery room. The official had no choice but to take A few coins went out, saying that they were going to various temples to make alms, to pray for the little officials and ladies."

Pan Jinlian could imagine Chai Wu jumping and unable to get in, so she also laughed:

"It's hard for him to hold Buddha's feet temporarily."

"No, I haven't seen any statues of Bodhisattvas placed by officials and ladies on weekdays, but Madam recites scriptures and worships Buddha every day. By the way, Madam and the two young ladies have sent a lot of things. Putting it on the table, the big-boned aunt of the Shen family went to the kitchen to cook soup for the mother to breastfeed, and there were many children's clothes, which looked really beautiful, even better than what I wore... Ah, there are also long clothes. Life locks, small bracelets, and small rattles are all good, this child is really blessed."

Is it a good fortune to give something? Pan Jinlian smiled secretly, but Ying'er brought them over, picked and picked, and found that they were all good things, but left a few things for the children, those silks and satins Clothes are useless for children, so they decided to give Shen's mother-in-law and Ying'er two:

"You've all worked hard. It's useless for me to keep these things. Of course, I can't make clothes in this way. It's a waste of time. But I can make two new clothes for Aunt Shen and you, which can be regarded as a bit of joy. Bar."

Ying'er couldn't refuse, so she could only smile and say Wanfu:

"Then thank you, my lady. When my lady's child reaches the full moon, we will all wear brand new clothes to congratulate my lady."

Pan Jinlian nodded her forehead and reprimanded:

"You're just thinking about making clothes yourself, and you still need to find an excuse. Let me tell you, let the Shen family's aunt choose first when you take it back. Your child's family needs to know the etiquette."

Ying'er wrinkled her nose, rolled her eyes and said with a smile:

"Still speaking as a lady, I respect Mrs. Shen on weekdays. The lady lies down first, and you can't wash your hair and take a bath during the confinement period. I will boil hot water for you first, and you will wipe your hair with a cloth towel, and it will be refreshing. "

Pan Jinlian nodded, and Ying'er jumped down holding two pieces of fabric, and closed the door carefully.Seeing her go, Pan Jinlian shook her head and smiled, her eyes looked at the little baby in the crib, as if a thousand satisfactions filled her heart, no matter how much pain she endured, it was worth it.

************************************************** ******

After resting for a while, the Shen family woman came in with hot water, wiped her hair with a soft towel, and thanked her with a smile:

"I'm such an old woman, how can I still need such beautiful clothes, but Ying'er is getting bigger and bigger, and it's time to dress up, but she refuses to take it, and only says that I will get it if I choose myself." .”

Pan Jinlian hastened to comfort her:

"I gave birth to you this time, but I suffered from it. I felt sorry for it in my heart. The material is just a trivial matter. Besides, Ying'er is a junior, so naturally I have to pick it up with my aunt first."

The old woman of the Shen family thanked her again, wiped it off carefully, and brought the bone soup again:

"This thing is the most milky. Madam specially asked the kitchen to buy fresh ones. I simmered them for a whole night. Madam, do you have a taste?"

Looking at the bone soup, it was creamy and thick white, and smelling the aroma, he couldn't help but whet his appetite, so he also drank a bowl.The old woman of the Shen family was about to persuade her again, when there was a sudden cry from the rocking car, the old woman of the Shen family smiled and said:

"This is how greedy even the petty officials woke up."

Saying that she put down the bowl and brought the child over, Pan Jinlian hurriedly hugged her in her arms, and then she had time to take a closer look, only to see that the little hands and feet had become white and tender like lotus root joints, and the chubby face was also fleshy. Two bright black eyes stared straight at Pan Jinlian, and hummed small words that adults could not understand
