"Bao, Xin, hey, who is calling you?"
"Ha, it's Grandpa, Grandpa is calling you, Bao, this, this, this, peck, peck..."
"Grandpa, please take off your raincoat and I'll hang it up for you."
Xiu Xiu came forward and helped the old man take off his coir raincoat and hang it under the eaves at the entrance of the hall to dry.
Xiuhong closed her umbrella and leaned it against the wall outside.
"Sister, I went to the kitchen to help my mother cook. I'll leave this place to you."
"Okay, what about that? Which house will our grandma spend the holidays with today?"
"No need to ask, it must be with my uncle's family."
"oh."
"Sister, what's the matter with you?"
"no no."
"Okay, then I'm going to cook, otherwise my mother will scream again."
Xiuxiu also turned around and went back to the main room, making tea for Lao Yangtou and Tan, and getting melon seeds, snacks and other things.
Mrs. Tan has already sat at the table with her child in her arms, teasing, coaxing and looking at her.
The only eye left was filled with overflowing love.
Lao Yangtou stood behind Tan with his hands behind his back.
Let’s play along and look at it together.
Even the old man who usually liked to put on a majestic face actually made a face when facing this child.
Xiu Xiu was shocked when she saw this scene.
Not to mention that I have never been treated like this by my grandparents.
Even the younger brothers probably have never received such special treatment from their elders, right?
This is really the sun coming out of the west.
But it's obviously raining today.
Looking back on the period of confinement, my great-grandfather and great-grandmother came to visit the child almost every day.
Everyone said that the child's birth date and uncle's birth date and time were too coincidental.
That's why it caught Grandma's eyes.
Xiu Xiu knows better than anything else.
If we analyze this child from the perspective of his father and mother, they would probably push it away if it were presented to his great-grandmother, not wanting to take another look.
Needless to say, Li Wei, my grandma was very restrained before she rushed to Lijiacun and cut Li Wei into pieces.
As for herself, Xiu Xiu is self-aware and not very lovable.
But my great-grandmother loved this child very much.
All because of a coincidence with my uncle.
The uncle asked first, and then the child was born.
The coincidental date and time made the great-grandmother who believed in those things suspect that the child was the reincarnation of the uncle.
And the uncle was my great-grandma’s pet peeve at the beginning.
So the great-grandma devoted all her love and regret to this child.
No matter what the reason is, grandma is looking for spiritual sustenance.
This doesn't matter to Xiuxiu.
She values the results, and the result is that this child is now Grandma's heart.
Along with this, my great-granddaughter also took advantage of it.
Otherwise, I don’t know how many times my great-aunt would have to scold her for the matter of peace and separation...
He scolded her for not having eyes, scolded her that she deserved it, scolded her for bringing it upon herself...
In short, no matter whether she can bear it or not, she will always scold her.
It's better now. Grandpa and grandma almost don't scold me anymore.
Sometimes he would even give her a few words of advice, telling her not to think too much. She was young, had a long way to go, and could still meet someone better.
During this time, to be honest, if my great-grandfather and great-grandmother hadn’t come to visit me every day, stay with me, and say some confident words.
Xiu Xiu is afraid that he will be depressed every day.
It is precisely because of this that my mother thought about celebrating the festival today, so she would bring the two elders over to celebrate the festival together.
"Grandpa, grandma, you guys will play with Yongxiao for a while, and I'll go to the kitchen to get off."
Xiuxiu said hello to Lao Yangtou and Tan, then turned to leave.
But he was stopped by Tan.
"How many times did Yongxiao get up and eat today?"
"Eat once."
"What's the point of eating just once? You should be hungry soon."
Xiu Xiu smiled, "Tainai, he got up late today. He just ate half an hour ago. He's not hungry."
Moreover, because there are many chickens, ducks, geese, and pigeons at home.
There is so much food in Xiuxiu's granary that it is almost overflowing.
Feeding Yongxiao once every time will keep him in check for a long, long time!
"Then remember not to get tired or catch a cold, otherwise you won't be able to feed Yongxiao."
Mrs. Tan warned carefully.
The old lady glanced at Xiuxiu's chest, which was about to burst, and then said:
"Before the teeth come in, what the mother feeds is the best nourishment for the child, and it makes it less likely to get sick."
"Those babies who are fed rice paste and noodle soup will get sick when the wind blows, and they will die from the torture."
Xiu Xiu nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, Grandma, I will take good care of myself...ahem..."
Before he finished speaking, he started coughing again.
Her cough started to become more and more obvious when she was four or five months pregnant.
Later, for the sake of my children, I never dared to open up to treatment or medication.
They are all suppressed with some earthworks.
Until he was taken back to his parents' home by his parents, and doctors from the county and town medical centers were invited.
After taking some medicine that would not harm the fetus in the belly, the cough gradually got better.
Now that the child is born, those medicines are still being used slowly.
Although the cough is still there, it feels much better than when I was at Li Wei's house before.
"How long do you have to take that medicine?" Ms. Tan asked again.
My mother took medicine, but the medicinal properties could penetrate into the blood and be drunk by the child.
This is the last thing Tan wants to see.
"I'm afraid that if you drink too much medicine, Yongxiao will also drink too much medicine, and then Yongxiao will turn into a medicine jar!"
"It would be troublesome if the boy's house turned into a medicine jar!"
Tan said with a serious face.
The same is true for Lao Yangtou.
But Lao Yangtou would not say it directly.
On the contrary, Lao Yangtou said this: "No matter what happens, if Xiu Xiu's cough is not good for one day, it needs to be cured."
“Three parts to conquer, seven parts to maintain.”
"I watched you eat a few days ago, and your mother made you fried pork with chili for your confinement meal."
"The way you eat it, even if you don't have a cough, is not suitable for pregnant women."
"Besides, you keep coughing?"
"If you take it this way, won't the effect of the medicine be washed away?"
Mr. Tan nodded repeatedly, "The medicine was taken in vain, and Yongxiao also suffered disaster."
"No wonder I saw a red rash on Yongxiao's nose. Maybe Xiuxiu ate too much chili pepper, and Yongxiao got angry too!"
"where?"
"Grandma, where are you?"
Lao Yangtou and Xiu Xiu asked in unison.
And at the same time, he came to Tan's side.
Mrs. Tan pulled the swaddling clothes away slightly and pointed at Yongxiao's little nose.
"Look, there's a red rash here!"
Both Lao Yangtou and Xiu Xiu saw it.
The red rash is very, very small, so small that you have to open your eyes hard and press it to find it.
Old Yangtou was as shocked as Tan.
"Oh, you can't be careless with this red rash..."
Xiu Xiu also saw it.
