Chapter 5 The Milk Sheep Goes Down the Mountain
Zhao Caoer did not lie. The diapers she prepared would be enough to be evenly unblocked. But there was still one or two months before she gave birth, which was enough for her to prepare another batch.
Moreover, Qin Shan said that he would borrow a piece of new cloth and return it to them. With his temperament, he would never take advantage of the second bedroom. The value of the new cloth would definitely be higher than that of a few diapers.
Zhao Caoer knew this. In fact, she was already planning to borrow a few diapers with the mentality of not taking advantage of it. She had many children and had several worn-out clothes. It would be no problem to make a few diapers.
The reason why it is said that it cannot be evenly spread is simply to make Qin Shan bow his head and exude a deep breath in his heart.
Unfortunately, she only thought that Qin Shan would not take advantage of others, but ignored his straight personality.
"If you don't want to borrow, just say it and tell me what to do." Qin Shan turned his face darkly, turned his head and left, intending to borrow it from another family in the village who was about to have a baby.
Zhao Caoer was stunned and hurriedly defended: "Brother, no, I didn't mean that, don't leave! Dachuan, you fool, why don't you stop me?"
Her new cloth cannot be so lost. As for the skin... can the skin be eaten or spent as money? How can the benefits of getting it matter?
With Qin Chuan's obstruction and Zhao Caoer's apology, Qin Shan did not go outside to meet others. Finally, he took a few diapers that Zhao Caoer had taken out and returned to his room.
Lin Qiuniang heard this farce clearly. When Qin Shan came back, she didn't say anything. She took the diapers and put them on the bedside so that she could change the milk dumplings at night.
The diaper problem was temporarily solved, and the couple sat on the head of the bed, smiling at the breasts that stretched out their hands for a while, and kicked their legs for a while, and couldn't remember to do something else.
At this moment, the milk dumpling cried without warning: "Yeah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-y
The crying sounded and made the couple cry so hard that they felt uncomfortable. Qin Shan subconsciously went to Tuanzi's little butt, and found that it was fucked and did not urinate. He asked Lin Qiuniang at a loss: "What's going on? Why did you cry?"
Lin Qiuniang said anxiously: "I must be hungry. Nannan can't eat anything we eat. What should I do?"
She was anxious, and Qin Shan was even more anxious.
Looking at the milk dumplings that didn't even have the energy to cry, Qin Shan thought of a way and put the milk dumplings into Lin Qiuniang's arms and said, "I'll go find my mother to ask for some eggs. Take Nannan to find Ertanzi's wife with the eggs and ask her to help."
When Lin Qiuniang heard this, she understood what he meant and urged: "Go quickly, two or three eggs are enough."
Ertanzi is a clan brother of Qinshan, but the two families have already given up their five-member family, and their relationship is no different from other villagers. At the beginning of the year, Jianzi's wife gave birth to a son, and now she is the only one in the village who is breastfeeding, so she can only find her.
Milk dumpling is the granddaughter recognized by Mr. Qin, and that is the Qin family. Mrs. Miao naturally would not be reluctant to let a few eggs make her granddaughter hungry, so she happily took out five eggs and handed them to Qin Shan.
Qin Shan said that he couldn't ask for so many, so he wanted to take out two.
Old Mrs. Miao stopped him and reminded: "I heard from Erbanzi's mother that Erbanzi's wife didn't have enough milk. I'm afraid I wouldn't be happy to ask someone to help her. I'll ask your wife to say a few more good things to Erbanzi's wife later, and at least deal with it tonight."
After tonight, what to do tomorrow can only be said tomorrow.
Qin Shan silently took the eggs and was worried about the future rations for milk dumplings.
After taking five eggs, Lin Qiuniang hurried to Erbanzi's house with her hungry milk dumpling. Erbanzi's wife was not surprised when she saw the child in her arms. She also guessed her purpose, and her face showed a little unhappy.
There were several people entering the mountain with Qinshan today. In the evening, Qinshan picked up a child and came back, and it soon spread in a small area.
Although Erbanzi's wife didn't want to feed her milk dumpling, she was afraid that she would starve her son without breastfeeding at night, but she couldn't write the word "Qin" in one stroke. Lin Qiuniang sent five more eggs, so she couldn't say anything she refused.
Seeing that her mother-in-law and husband had no objection, she took the milk dumpling and went to the inner room.
Lin Qiuniang hurriedly followed in, followed her mother-in-law's advice, and kept saying good things about Ertanzi's daughter-in-law.
How could the wife of Ertanzi not see Lin Qiuniang’s thoughts? She promised her grandma to have a dumpling once, which did not mean that she would breastfeed the second time. She said tactfully: “Sister-in-law, this child is only three months old. She can only feed some rice soup after half a year old. There are still three months left in between. What do you want to do?”
Lin Qiuniang also knew that it was unrealistic for her daughter to make her breasts always feel worried and said, "We don't know what to do. If it really doesn't work, we can only feed rice soup. We can't let the child get hungry."
Ertanzi's wife is also a mother. If she is not willing to feed the dumpling, it does not mean that she can see such a young child starving to death. She sincerely suggests: "You can take the time to go to the city for a walk. If you are lucky, you may be able to buy milk sheep. When the child is weaned, you can still sell the sheep for money, which will not cost a few dollars in total."
She knew the situation of the Qin family, so she didn't say anything about hiring a wet nurse.
Not to mention that the wet nurse is very expensive, she has to spend at least six taels of silver in three months, and she also needs to pay for delicious food and drinks. Only wealthy families can use it. Even if the Qin family gritted their teeth and hired it, how can the second house of the Qin family not make a fuss? Not to mention that the Qin family also has a scholar. If it is not done well, the good family will be separated.
"You are right, buying dairy sheep is a good way." Lin Qiuniang's eyes lit up, thinking about the feasibility of buying dairy sheep.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I could do this. Just as Erbanzi’s wife said, she could sell the sheep and return the spent money when the child was weaned. I think the couple had nothing to say.
It is rare to have dairy sheep. Rarely do sheep sell dairy sheep unless the family is in a hurry to use money. Otherwise, even if the lamb dies, it will keep the dairy sheep and continue to give birth. If it is really sold, it will be sold together with the lamb, which will be expensive.
No matter what, buying dairy sheep is the best way to do it now, and you have to try it.
After thanking Ertanzi's family, Lin Qiuniang left with her full and full milk dumpling.
Old Mrs. Miao had already prepared supper and waited for Lin Qiuniang to come back to have dinner. The others didn't say anything, only Zhao Cao'er complained a few times, saying that she was hungry for the child in her stomach.
However, everyone knows her temperament and is too lazy to bother with her.
After dinner, Lin Qiuniang took the initiative to take care of the dishes and asked Mrs. Miao to go back to her room to rest. When the stove was cleaned up, she returned to her room and told Qin Shan about buying dairy sheep.
Qin Shan was worried about his daughter's food rations. When Lin Qiuniang mentioned this, he patted his head in annoyance: "I'm so stupid, why didn't I think of this? I have to buy it, I will go to the city tomorrow morning."
Qingshan Village is a distance from Le'an County. It takes about an hour to get by carriage, and it takes at least two hours to walk. The Qin family does not have a carriage, so it takes a whole day to go back and forth with two legs.
The Qin family did not separate the family, and the money was managed by Mr. Qin. It was not cheap to buy a dairy sheep, so he had to prepare at least two taels of silver. Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang didn't have that much on hand, so Qin Shan found Mr. Qin.
Mr. Qin didn't say a word and threw a few silver spoons to him: "When you sell the sheep, you will return it."
Qin Shan happily returned to the room with a silver horn in his arms, and came to the milk dumpling to kiss her on the forehead: "Nannan, my father will definitely buy the milk sheep tomorrow."
The milk dumpling that was sleeping in the dark and smacked her lips, as if she had dreamed of something delicious.
