After Su Yiyuan returned, Li Yue'e asked for leave from the brigade and prepared to wait for Su Mo to finish her confinement.
"Mom, there's really no need. My body has almost recovered, and Anlele is very well-behaved. I can watch it by myself during the day," Su Mo said.
Before, Su Yiyuan stared at her, lying on the kang every day, not letting anything move, and she felt like she was going to be crippled.
Moreover, she felt like she was going to go rancid without taking a shower or washing her hair for so many days, so she happened to wash it while no one was around during the day. On a July day, even if she stayed in the room every day without moving, she would still break out into a slight sweat.
If Li Yue'e comes and stares at her again, don't even think about it.
Li Yue'e waved her hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's very hot outside. Mom has been working all her life, so it's time to take a break."
Su Mo also sighed. She estimated that Li Yue'e asked for leave specifically to keep an eye on her. Because at the beginning, there were two times when she wanted to take a shower, but Li Yue'e happened to catch her. After she told her, Su Yiyuan and Lu Changzheng stopped letting her take a shower.
The old man was kind-hearted, and she couldn't bear to argue with someone and hurt someone's heart, so she had to endure it.
She originally wanted to wait until people left in the evening before washing, but Lu Changzheng and Su Yiyuan were stunned and refused to agree, saying that it was not good for her health and asked her to wash it after her confinement.
"Xiao Mo, are you thinking about taking a bath again?" Li Yue'e asked with a smile.
Su Mo smiled awkwardly, "No, I didn't want to wash it."
"Listen to mother, there are only a few days left. If you bear with it any longer, don't fall into the confinement syndrome. It doesn't show up when you are young. When you get older, you will have to suffer."
"Your Aunt Chunfeng, you just took a bath during confinement. Now that you are older, when the weather gets cold and windy, your head hurts so much that you have to wear a headscarf and a hat early on."
"Mom, I know it's hot now and you feel uncomfortable, so just wipe it on your body a few times."
"Okay, I understand." Su Mo responded.
Well, just lie down, just be dirty, it won’t be a few days.
******
On the day when the child was one month old, Su Mo also counted the month of confinement.
Early in the morning, Su Mo got up and boiled two large pots of water and gave herself a good wash.
After washing, I feel like my body is lighter.
Li Yue'e cooked a pot of red eggs in the morning and brought them over, thinking that Su Mo would share some with her.
Coming over to see Su Mo's happy face, she also snickered secretly. "Look at this, are you taking a shower?"
Su Mo laughed a few times, which was regarded as acquiescence.
When Li Yue'e saw Su Mo looking like that, she also sighed that being young was good.
It's only been a month, and Xiao Mo doesn't look like she was born at all, and is no different from a little girl.
"I cooked a pot of red eggs. At noon, you and I will go to the homes of the people we are close to to give out a pie." Here, when their children are one month old, they give out red eggs.
"Okay." Su Mo nodded, "Would you like to push the child along?"
It stands to reason that the child is still too young, so it is best not to take him out, but An Lele looks bold and strong, so he is not afraid to take him out.
"Okay, let's go together, just in time for everyone to see." Those people had long wanted to come, but she said it was inconvenient for Su Mo to sit in confinement, so she refused to let them come.
It was almost noon, with Li Yue'e's help, Su Mo bathed the two children again.
Li Yue'e was afraid that her children would catch cold, so she bathed them every day at noon when the temperature was the highest.
This was Su Mo's first time bathing a child. She thought boys would be rougher, so she planned to test it on her younger brother first.
At this time, the tub for children to take a bath does not have a bath stand or the like, it is just a basin that has to be held by hands.
Following Li Yuee's instructions, Su Mo first washed Lele's hair with water, then took off her clothes and washed her body.
Both children were well raised. When they were born, they weighed just over four kilograms. After raising them for a month, they are now estimated to be seven or eight kilograms. They are plump and chubby, and their hands and feet are all jointed.
Therefore, when washing your body, in addition to the surface, you must also focus on the slits where too much flesh is squeezed out.
Lele seems to like water very much. She dances happily while washing.
After washing, I dried my body, put on talcum powder, and put on the new clothes bought at Fumanhua Friendship Store. They looked better than the dolls in the New Year paintings.
When I was washing An An, it was not so smooth. The girl moved around and was not very cooperative.
Li Yue'e smiled and said: "Girl An An, maybe she is afraid of water. She always has a strange expression every time she takes a bath."
When Su Mo saw it, she almost laughed out loud. This is not a strange expression, it should be an expression of despair.
After reading too many novels, Su Mo was very receptive. She guessed that this was the so-called fetal transfusion.
She had long guessed that this child might have a great background, and now she was even more certain.
When she can speak, she will definitely ask where she came from.
After washing the two children, Su Mo put the children on the stroller customized by Lu Changzheng in the commune workshop, and pushed them out with Li Yuee.
The two little ones came out for the first time. Lele was very excited and babbling; An An was much calmer and observed and looked at her from time to time.
Every time they go to a house, the two little ones have to be watched and praised.
Lele was more cooperative and acted cute from time to time, while An An looked impatient.
But the person looks cute, and this impatient expression is also another kind of cuteness and teasing to adults.
An An looked at the various people making faces in front of her, and her heart was numb. She just closed her eyes and lay down, no matter what, and let her stupid brother go about his business.
Li Yuee gave out a circle of red eggs to show off the children, and she was in a great mood. When I went to work in the afternoon, I worked much faster than usual.
In the evening, Lu Changzheng came back after buying a lot of meat. Over at the Lu family, the whole family had a meal together. Lu Xiaolan and Yang Jingming also came back.
Although I don’t want to hold full moon drinks, I still want to have a meal together as a family.
Lu Xiaolan was very fond of these twin nephews and nieces, and she didn't want to let go of them.
After dinner, Lu Changzheng talked about the issue of taking care of children again.
Su Mo's maternity leave is only 40 days, and she has to go to work in one week. She definitely can't take her child to work, so someone has to look after the child.
In Lujiacun Brigade, children born during the farming period are usually carried on the backs of adults and taken to work after their confinement. Once he can run and walk, let the older child take him.
Just like Lu Fengqin, she was basically led by Lu Xiaolan at that time.
Very few families would leave one person at home to look after their children. Unless the elderly are in poor health and cannot afford to work, they will look after their children at home.
Lu Changzheng and Su Mo's idea was to let Li Yuee take care of their children instead of going to work, and they would give her money every month.
I said it in front of everyone today because I was afraid that if I didn’t explain it clearly, the other two families would have their own thoughts.
