Chapter 317 Being a Father Is Not Easy

Cao Yufen and Guo Shuzeng have been married for more than thirty years. She is already this age. If her husband and son are kicked out, what will happen in the future?

When Cao Yufen thought of this, even if she wanted to make a few jabs, she didn't dare.

"Xiping, please don't say anything to Uncle Guo.

Well, the aunt just saw Baojun crying when he came home. She felt sorry for her grandson and said some unpleasant words to Xiaofeng. "

"Xiao Feng, did you hear that? This Grandma Guo is all nonsense. Don't take her words seriously.

Remember, you are the eldest grandson of the Sheng family. Even if your uncle has a child of his own, he will still love you. "

Zhang Shuzhen patted Chen Feng on the shoulder, lowered her head and said to Chen Feng.

"No one will ask you to leave. When you are at home, you can eat whatever you like. Our family can afford you, do you understand?"

"Well, grandma, I understand. If anyone says it in the future, I won't believe it either."

Little Chen Feng is very smart. Why should he not believe in the attitude of the Sheng family?

"Mom, let's go home then? It's such a cold day, don't let Lao Liu and Xiao Feng freeze to death."

On a twelfth lunar month night, the wind was biting. They stood in the yard talking, drinking a lot of cool air. If they didn't go home, they would be freezing in a while.

"Well, let's go home." Zhang Shuzhen nodded, holding Chen Feng's hand with one hand, and walked straight out of the Guo family's gate without even looking at the Guo family's mother-in-law.

Sheng Xitai and Sheng Xiping didn't pay any attention to anyone, and just followed their mother and left.

The Guo family's mother-in-law was wearing a small cotton-padded jacket, with only a large cotton-padded jacket on her body. At this moment, she was completely frozen.

Seeing the Sheng family leaving, she turned around and hurriedly ran into the house, rubbing her hands and breathing while mumbling unkind words.

"Didn't you see that their family is making things difficult for me? Are you dead? Don't you know how to come out and speak for me?

Who am I for? Isn’t it because of that damn brat of yours?

He is being bullied outside. If you don't step forward, I will vent his anger for him. If he turns around, he will be scolded like a third grandson.

It's a good thing for you, you're hiding in the house and won't come out. How can you pretend to be a good person? "

This mother-in-law lost face in front of the Sheng family and turned around to cause trouble for her daughter-in-law.

"Mom, how do I know what they are here for? I just thought you would go out.

Bao Guo is sleepy and fussing about going to bed. Bao Gang is hungry and wants to feed. I have to take care of the baby first. "

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Guo family has been married for many years, and she is very angry with her mother-in-law.

She couldn't stand up to her mother-in-law blatantly, but she didn't know how to relieve her anger when she saw that her mother-in-law had asked the Sheng family to train her into such a good behavior. How could she go out and speak to her mother-in-law?

"As soon as I said it, you knew how to use my grandson as your bag, rolling, rolling, rolling, and you would get upset. I'm freezing to death, so hurry up and get me a basin of hot foot-washing water."

The Guo family's mother-in-law was so angry with her daughter-in-law that she turned around and went into the house to warm up without a good expression.

"You can fight it yourself. I have to open the door and put the children to sleep. The three cubs are all clamoring for sleep."

In the past, she was always angry with her mother-in-law. If something didn't go her way, her mother-in-law would fight to the death and force her to obey.

But tonight, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Guo family finally understood that her mother-in-law was a paper tiger, bullying the weak and afraid of the strong.

From now on, she doesn't care about that. She just needs to coax her children and take care of herself. At worst, they can live separately.

Not to mention the quarrel between the Guo family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, just that Sheng Xiping and Zhang Shuzhen were freezing enough after being out for half a day, so they took off their shoes to warm up on the kang when they got home.

Zhang Shuzhen hugged Chen Feng in her arms and rubbed his little hands, "Grandson, are you relieved this time?

Day by day, don't listen to the nonsense of those people outside. They are jealous when you are doing well and are deliberately trying to make you angry.

They will only be happy if you cry in anger.

If anyone talks about you again in the future, just scold him back. It's okay. If you cause trouble, I'll help you. "

Zhang Shuzhen was still angry, mainly because she felt that she did not perform well tonight.

Originally, she had planned that if Cao Yufen didn't say nice things and behaved like a rogue, she would risk everything tonight and scratch that woman's face.

It also lets outsiders know that she, Zhang Shuzhen, is not that easy to mess with. Anyone who wants to say anything in front of her children in the future will have to think carefully.

The results of it? When they met Cao Yufen, she gave in. Zhang Shuzhen was so angry that she had nowhere to vent her anger and only said a few words that were neither salty nor light.

It's boring, so boring.

When Sheng Xiping heard her mother's words, she smiled and shook her head. This old lady loves her children to no end. Can she say this in front of her children?

"Ahem, Mom, it's getting late, let them all pack up and go to bed.

I will accompany Qinglan and the child in the evening. You must not have slept well last night. Get a good rest tonight. "

The most important thing right now is to serve Zhou Qinglan. Sheng Xiping only has a few days of vacation, so he will try his best to take care of his wife and son. It is his duty.

"Oh, no, I can just live there. You don't know anything. Can you change a diaper?"

Zhang Shuzhen waved her hand immediately after hearing this. In the minds of the older generation, men are clumsy, how can they serve the confinement?

"It's okay, Mom, I can't learn. I'm the father of my child, and this is what I should do.

It's just a few days of vacation, and I can't be tired. "Sheng Xiping insisted on his opinion.

"Okay, then you go live in that house and be alert when you go to bed at night. Get up quickly when the child cries.

Don't be like your dad, who talks about helping me soothe the child, but in the end he sleeps harder than anyone else at night, snoring loudly. "

Zhang Shuzhen thought about how her men behaved when she gave birth to children, and couldn't help but complain.

Sheng Xiping suppressed a smile and nodded. "I know, Mom, don't worry."

After saying that, Sheng Xiping left the room and went to the west room to see his wife and children.

"How are you going to Guo's house? There's no trouble, right?"

Zhou Qinglan hasn't slept yet. She just heard what Sheng Yunfang said about what happened, and she has been worried about it, fearing that her mother-in-law and husband would have a conflict with the Guo family, and it would be bad if it got bigger.

"It's okay. With me here, can my mother suffer? That mother-in-law of the Guo family is a master who bullies the weak and fears the strong. When she sees us passing by, she will soften first.

Tonight is mainly to reassure Xiaofeng that we are not here to fight. "

Sheng Xiping got on the kang, sat next to his wife and son, and looked at the sleeping little guy.

"Daughter-in-law, you are highly educated. Think about it and give our son a name.

Later, I have to go to the market to register him as a registered permanent resident. I can't help but keep his name anonymous. "

Sheng Xiping suddenly remembered that it had been two days since the baby was born and he hadn't even given a name yet.

"Why don't our dad come to name it? I'll give it a name, and my dad won't be happy about it later."

Zhou Qinglan shook her head. She didn't dare to take on this job. The naming was a matter for the elders in the family.

Which word should the children of this generation be called? What are the names of the children of the same generation in my hometown, and what are the names of the older generations in the family.

These are the parents-in-law who know best. Zhou Qinglan doesn't know, so she doesn't dare to give them randomly, which will make her parents-in-law unhappy.

"It's okay, why is there so much emphasis on choosing a name? We live in the Northeast, so we don't have to line up with my hometown, as long as it sounds good."

Sheng Xiping didn't care much about these things. His name was just a title. It just needed to be easy to hear and remember. There was no need to pay so much attention to it.

Sheng Liancheng and his wife are not very educated, and their six children were all named by others. When the grandchildren come, they won't care too much.

Zhou Qinglan is the most educated person in the Sheng family. Sheng Liancheng and his wife will definitely not find fault with the name she gave him.

Although Sheng Xiping said this, Zhou Qinglan did not dare to agree to it, but still cautiously suggested that she should think more.

Wait until you seek the opinions of your parents-in-law before making a decision.

Sheng Xiping thought about it. After all, this is the grandson of the second elder. For such a big thing as naming, the grandparents must have a sense of involvement.

The couple chatted for a while, and the baby woke up and started crying.

Sheng Xiping quickly picked up the child, unwrapped it and was looked at.

"Ouch, I'm such a big boy that I peed. The urine was so big that it almost drove your parents away."

This soaking in urine was quite big. Both the small and large pants were wet, and even the quilt wrapped outside was wet.

As Sheng Xiping spoke, he took out both the small and large pants.

Then he reached out from the pile of mattresses at the end of the kang, grabbed a piece, folded it twice, and placed it haphazardly under his son's buttocks.

"That's not how the mattress is made. You have to put the big mattress underneath first, then lift the child up, and then put the small mattress on it."

Zhou Qinglan was lying down, and when she got up, she was a step too slow. She could only watch helplessly as her husband cradled the child.

Zhou Qinglan sighed helplessly, hurriedly moved forward, took the things in Sheng Xiping's hands, and started to do it herself.

"Look carefully, this corner of the bed needs to be nestled, then hold the child's neck with one hand and the buttocks with the other, and move him onto the bed.

Then fold the small mattress into a long strip and put it under the buttocks. " Zhou Qinglan started to change his son's clothes while teaching Sheng Xiping.

The small mattresses are made from family members' old clothes, old sheets, etc. The used ones are softer and made of pure cotton, which has better water absorption.

For these quilts, Zhang Shuzhen turned over all the boxes and cabinets at home, cut them out, scalded them with boiling water, and dried them in the sun, then carefully folded them and put them away for later use.

A large quilt is a piece of pure blue or pure red cotton bought from the store. It is three feet wide and can be stretched three feet long.

Generally speaking, blue is used to give birth to a boy, and red is used to give birth to a girl.

Of course, most people usually prepare red and blue pieces.

In addition, Zhang Shuzhen also washed and ironed the belt that Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan wore when they got married, and used it as a large mattress.

Even so, this mattress is not enough and can be replaced and washed at any time.

Fortunately, a fire wall was built under the wall in the north room of the house. The mattresses that were needed were spread on the fire wall, and the rest were spread on the kang or hung on the ropes to dry.

Anyway, this house looks pretty good now, with colorful flags flying everywhere.

After putting on the small quilt, wrapping the big quilt, and wrapping it with a quilt, Zhou Qinglan held the child in her arms, unbuttoned her clothes and fed her.

"Hurry up and put the quilt on the kang to dry it for a while. I think it's only a little wet, so it's not worth washing.

You take out the big mattress, wash it, and spread it on the fire wall to dry it. This bastard can eat and urinate, so even four big mattresses in one night may not be enough. "

Zhou Qinglan glanced at Sheng Xiping and motioned for him to go to work.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Sheng Xiping was not impatient. Raising a child was like this. A baby in confinement could not urinate, and there were no diapers for future generations. If he used diapers, he could only wash them frequently.

In this way, Sheng Xiping took away the replaced mattress, went to the outhouse to get water, washed it with soap, poured it twice with clean water, wrung it dry and brought it back to the house.

Touch the mattresses on the fire wall, fold up the dry ones and put them on the head of the kang, and then spread the wet ones on top to dry.

After he finished doing this, Zhou Qinglan also fed the baby, stretched out his hand to touch it, and found that the mattress was dry. Then he safely put the baby on the pillow and covered it with a quilt.

The pillow was sewn with red cloth and filled with millet.

Newborn babies usually have big backs on their heads. Most people in Northeast China sleep on their children's heads, mainly because they make the back of their heads flatter, saying they look good.

If someone's child doesn't sleep well, others will say, "Look at your child running around the stairs and behind the stairs, oh, it's really ugly."

When a baby sleeps with his head, adults need to be particularly careful. Once he doesn't sleep well, he will easily sleep with his head tilted.

In fact, Sheng Xiping didn't want his son to sleep on his head. He always felt that it was a bad habit. His head would look like a lump of miso, would it look good?

He mentioned this matter to Zhang Shuzhen several times. Unfortunately, Zhang Shuzhen could listen to her son on other matters, but when it came to raising children, she refused to listen and still followed the old method.

"Daughter-in-law, please remember, when the child is out of confinement, you cannot give him a millet pillow to sleep on.

During the confinement period, just sleep as long as you can, as long as you sleep, but don't make your child's head flattened, making it look like a lump. "

Sheng Xiping hung up his bedclothes and turned around to see his wife putting pillows on the child.

He couldn't just pull it out, so he told Zhou Qinglan to change the pillow as soon as possible after confinement, and not to sleep on it all the time.

Zhou Qinglan was caught between her husband and mother-in-law, which was enough for her. She had no choice but to nod.

"Okay, I remember, I will change it after confinement.

I saved a lot of tea leaves and dried a lot of flowers before. I will use those to make a pillow for the child. "

Tea leaves are actually soaked tea leaves and dried in the sun. Many people use this to fill pillows.

As for the petals, they were made by drying various wild flowers that Zhou Qinglan and Sheng Yunfang picked around the forest farm when they had nothing to do. It would be a good idea to use these as pillows.

The child went to bed after eating. Sheng Xiping and his wife had nothing to do, so they quickly packed up and rested.

Zhou Qinglan was sleeping on the kang, with the child in the middle, and then Sheng Xiping. The family of three were next to each other, and they all slept soundly after a while.

Fortunately, this baby is easy to take care of, and he doesn't cry much after eating at night.

Basically, I wake up once every three hours, feed her, change her diaper, coax her for a while, and then fall asleep again.

Sheng Xiping didn't dare to sleep too deeply. As soon as he slept, he reached out and felt whether his son was wet underneath.

If the child didn't move for a long time, Sheng Xiping would carefully put his hand under the child's nose to see if the child was still breathing.

At any rate, this night was over. When it was almost dawn, the child woke up again and wanted to feed.

Zhou Qinglan picked up the baby and nursed it. Sheng Xiping rubbed his sleepy eyes and got up to get a big mattress from the fire wall.

Before the baby had finished feeding, he heard something scratching at the door of the outhouse.

"Xiping, hurry up and open the door. Huahua is back." When Zhou Qinglan heard this, he knew it was the little tiger coming home and calling the door.

Sheng Xiping hurriedly put on his big cotton-padded jacket and went to the outhouse to open the door. Sure enough, there was the little tiger Huahua outside the door.

There was something black and unknown lying on the snow behind Huahua.

Sheng Xiping bent down and saw that it was a roe deer that had been dead for some time.

The strange thing is that this roe deer is intact, with no wounds except for the marks of tiger fangs on its throat.

"Huahua, you didn't eat it?" Sheng Xiping looked at it and asked in surprise.
