109. Business reopening(1/2)
There is a saying here in Hexi Village that the child who was just born was full in the mother's womb, so it doesn't matter if she was a mother without milk in the first two days.
But even though that is the case, everyone is still in a hurry to give their children food.
Seeing that Zhao Jin's brother had already given birth, Zhao Liu immediately asked Li to go to the nurse who had been booked to ask for milk. Before going there, he gave a few instructions: "Please take a clean veil, soak it in hot water and take it over. When it comes, let her wipe it first and then milk it."
This is what Jiang Zhen had already explained, and I don’t know why he, a man, is so particular...
Li responded and immediately took Ruoer, holding a ceramic cup with a lid and a clean veil, and asked someone for milk.
The two women who were breastfeeding their children lived not far from the Zhao family, and they found one of them not long after.
"It's really exquisite." The woman said. She disagreed with it, but she still wiped her chest carefully with a veil before she started milking.
The Zhao family asked her for milk, but she gave her money and agreed to give her chickens and pig's trotters to help her cushion... For money and food, she would be happy to just wipe her chest, even if she asked her to take a shower every time.
Now that the child is eating less, he only has half a cup of milk, Li hurried back. When he heard that the milk was delivered, Jiang Zhen immediately proposed to feed it himself.
This child was so cute that he watched her grow up little by little in Brother Zhao Jin's belly. He was so fond of him. Now he wanted to take care of her food, clothing, housing and transportation.
After living for more than 30 years, the man who finally became a father did not want to leave his children to others at all.
"I'll feed you, you are a man with thick hands and feet." Zhao Liu said quickly. She had been looking forward to holding her grandson for a long time, and she couldn't do anything to like this child. She wanted to take care of this child entirely.
"I'll do it." Jiang Zhen was very persistent.
Zhao Liu did not dare to object, so he could only give Jiang Zhen the bowl and spoon.
The milk was brought back with a hot towel, and it was still hot. Jiang Zhen scooped a little with a ceramic spoon and started feeding it carefully.
It is not easy to feed babies, but Jiang Zhen still did it very seriously. He liked the child in his arms more and more. He wanted to kiss him a few times.
But no.
He has a beard, what if he accidentally stabs the child? This child is tender and touches her face as if he hasn't touched anything...
Jiang Zhen not only feeds the child, he also insists on changing the child's diapers.
He doesn't like this child now, and he doesn't feel at ease when he gives it to others.
Just talking about Zhao Liushi... she actually wanted to tie up the child's legs! He firmly disagreed anyway.
Why do you tie up his daughter? How uncomfortable it is?! How powerful is her calves kicking her calves? Can't she make her kicking her legs happily?
If Jiang Zhen was his daughter-in-law, Zhao Liu might have used the experience of experienced people to "teach" Jiang Zhen, but Jiang Zhen was not. At this moment, the Zhao family was even completely the one who made the decision.
Jiang Zhen was unhappy to tie the child up, so Zhao Liu stopped tied it up. She was still soft-eared. After hearing Jiang Zhen say that this would make you uncomfortable, she even regretted it and secretly said to Brother Zhao Jin: "I didn't expect it would make you uncomfortable like this. I had known that I wouldn't tie you up at the beginning... I heard that at that time."
Brother Zhao, who had no idea what happened during his infancy, looked confused.
But Jiang Zhen doesn't want to tie him up, so don't tie him up...
The Zhao family went in and out and all threw themselves on the child. The villagers, without Zhao Liu, had already begun to envy Brother Zhao Jin.
"Jiang Zhen is so nice to Brother Zhao Jin. He is reluctant to let him go and carry him home."
"Brother Zhao Jin has nothing to do, and he has invited all the midwife and doctor... I gave birth to it myself at the beginning, so my mother-in-law is taking care of it."
"Yes... he also spent money to buy milk for his children. Usually, when Shuang'er gave birth, he would just give him some rice soup."
...
Brother Zhao Jin doesn’t have to think too much now, just knowing that someone will definitely envy him, and even himself feels that he is so enviable.
However, he was a little depressed.
Jiang Zhen kept holding the child, making it impossible for him to take a good look at his child...
Originally, Zhao Liushi planned to take care of this child with Lishi, and she also slept with them at night. For this, she also cleaned up the woodshed that Zhao Jinge used to give birth to a child, and planned to sleep there with Lishi at night.
However, Jiang Zhen did not agree.
It’s fine for Zhao Liu, his daughter... Why should she sleep with that Li? Although Li looked pretty clean, she didn’t take a shower every day. What if there was anything dirty on her body?
But if Zhao Liu was the only one, he would definitely not be able to bear it with the child.
Finally, Jiang Zhen simply made a decision: "The child slept with me and Brother Jin tonight!"
After a comrade-in-arms got married, neither of them could help. In the end, the young couple also raised their children, so he didn't believe that he couldn't do it.
Jiang Zhen actually had no experience in raising children, and he was so busy that the child was in a hurry. The night before the child woke up for a while and wanted to eat, which made him unable to bear it.
However, he was young and in good health... If it were Zhao Liu, it would be difficult to fall asleep after being woken up by the child, but he was different. He could continue to sleep by closing his eyes.
Then, because he was very alert, the child could wake up immediately as soon as he moved.
Often, before the child cries, he picks up the twisted child. When someone holds him, the child stops crying.
On the first night after giving birth, Zhao Jin Ge slept very well. The next day, Zhao Liu asked about his situation last night, but he was still a little confused.
Zhao Liu looked at his son in a complicated manner, and he was a little jealous of his son.
At this time, Jiang Zhen grinned and rubbed his arms.
Yesterday I ran all the way with Brother Zhao Jin, and then rubbed Brother Zhao Jin's waist and hugged the child again. His arm was a little muscle-strained... Fortunately, it was not a big deal.
Jiang Zhen liked his daughter so much. After Brother Zhao gave birth, he stayed at home for three consecutive days.
After three days, whether it was Jiang Zhen or Zhao Jin Ge, he had already taken care of the child.
Originally, Zhao Liushi wanted to make Zhao Jin's confinement well and not let him touch anything, but Zhao Jin's hand was really unable to lie down. He was forced to go to the toilet and could not get out of bed, so he simply focused on the child. Jiang Zhen did not stop him from taking care of the child, so he quickly learned how to feed the child and changed the diapers.
Of course, they are not too tired to take care of their children. After all, there are many people who can help at home. Not to mention anything else, they don’t need to wash their children’s diapers, and they don’t need to touch other housework.
After staying at home for three days, Jiang Zhen said goodbye to his precious daughter and went out.
There are still many things waiting for him to take care of...
Fortunately, the place where he "works" is very close to home, and he is still the leader, so he can go home at any time.
After Jiang Zhen left, Zhao Liu and Zhao Fugui were finally able to carry their granddaughter.
It’s really not easy... Jiang Zhen was there before, and they didn’t even have the chance to hold the child!
"This kid looks so handsome!"
"It looks clever."
"I will definitely be a blessing in the future."
...
Zhao Liu and Zhao Fugui praised the child one by one. After praising him for a long time, Zhao Fugui suddenly said, "What's the name of this child?"
They... don't seem to have given their children a name?
It was also after Jiang Zhen returned home that night that Zhao Liu reminded him, but he realized that he had not named his child yet.
In fact, he had thought of some names before, but they were all for boys. Now if he changed it to a little princess, those names can't be used.
But, what kind of name should his daughter be given?
"Shu, Zhen, Wan, Hui, Fen...These words all have very good meanings." Zhao Jinge chose some words.
Jiang Zhen glanced at it, but rejected it all.
This is in ancient times, many girls didn’t have serious names, and they just shouted at them by girls. It would be great if they could have a name. A name like “Shufen” is full of expectations from parents, but he came here through time.
He really didn't want to give his daughter such a name.
His daughter's name should be unique and unique.
"What name do you want?" Zhao Jin asked.
"I'll think about it..." Jiang Zhen said.
Jiang Zhen thought about this for more than ten days but couldn't figure it out. At this time, Brother Zhao Jin was impatient to lie on the bed all day... Although he was forced to lie on the bed by Zhao Liushi most of the time, he would come to the table to eat and so on.
Zhao Liu thought this was not good, but Jiang Zhen thought it was okay. He even took hot water to wipe Brother Zhao Jin's body and insisted on taking a bath for his daughter.
Zhao Liu felt that the child could not take a bath, but Jiang Zhen felt distressed as he watched his daughter twisting around uncomfortable... Moreover, after he bathed the child, the child did sleep more peacefully.
Jiang Zhen never thought about his daughter's name, but the construction of the wharf has been completed. Not only that, Jiang Zhen's house has been almost built.
Jiang Zhen felt that although there were more people in his family, there were not too many people. When building the house, it was not too big, and he only saw a yard that entered.
However, although he only built one yard, he built two floors because of the good planning and many rooms.
The small house next to the courtyard wall is not included. As the main building, there are a total of five large houses facing south, and these five large houses have two floors.
Jiang Zhen divided the living room of the restaurant, and a large kitchen was built behind the dining room.
Jiang Zhen used the big house on the eastmost side and the above floor to live for Zhao Liu and Zhao Fugui, and the second room on the east side to live for him and Zhao Jin Ge. At that time, they could sleep upstairs and downstairs to receive some guests, and they would be active here during the day.
As for the west side, there are many houses empty, so make arrangements when the child is older.
The house was built, but it was empty inside and all furniture was needed to be purchased. For this reason, Jiang Zhen went to the county town and found a carpenter to customize some furniture.
Before he knew it, the child was full of months, and Jiang Zhen had not yet come up with a suitable name.
Jiang Zhen... Actually, he doesn't know how to name people.
"Nannan's name, have you thought about it?" Brother Zhao Jin asked again.
Jiang Zhen froze... He... didn't think about it.
