The sick man is responsible

Zhou Hongmei heard about Bai Yufang and disapproved of Liu Chenghan's decision to do this right away, "If Bai Yufang is as good as you said, then we can get it two years later, and we can still get money, so we are not in a hurry to make money. The Taoist priest has already explained so, you will do it after the next year, is the Emperor Gao far away?"

"But Shimo can bring one back first." Zhou Hongmei said, "Since it is said that eating the white jade recipe is good for your health, let's cook it secretly at home, so it won't bother others."

After finishing speaking, he sighed regretfully, "If you can wait until you get home to do your ideas, you won't have so many troubles?"

Liu Chenghan smiled wryly and didn't speak, thinking that I also figured it out in those days on the mountain, and I was really making a fuss out of a molehill, making a cocoon of myself.I don't know how many things the folks have created, and who can investigate every one of them.Just say that I made it by mistake, who will get to the bottom of it.On the contrary, from Taoist priests to the royal family, it has become a troublesome matter, which cannot be taken lightly or seriously.

In the final analysis, it is just a matter of a piece of tofu, and in the final analysis, it is just a matter of eating in one bite.

Seeing his lonely expression, Zhou Hongmei comforted him and said, "That's fine. I know Dalang doesn't like to show off. This is because of the name of the Taoist temple. Everyone will only lament Dalang's good luck, but others will not say it. Besides, this Another advantage is that if you figure out Bai Yu Fang yourself and earn money from it, the tribe will inevitably have a share of the pie. Now, Da Lang only needs to say that the boss will not let this formula get into the second person's ears from you. Can prevaricate."

"That's all I can think of." Liu Chenghan said with a smile, after suffering such a big loss, what else can he do except swallow it himself. "I'm small and weak, so even if I make this white jade formula, it won't be easy to sell. The Taoist priest started promoting it from the capital, and when it reaches Sanjiang County, it saves me a lot of talking and talking."

"You, don't worry, the blueprints you drew back then were sold for silver and then bought a house to rent out. Now you can get a tael of silver a month, even though our grandpa's expenses are more than enough, there is always a field at home. Hanqing is diligent and has raised more silkworms, the family really doesn't seem to be short of money, and I don't know why you are so eager to make money." Zhou Hongmei said angrily.

"Isn't this a little one coming out soon?" Liu Chenghan asked.

"How much does this kid need when he comes out?" Zhou Hongmei said, "I even forgot about it. You haven't been at home for more than a month, and you have been caring about you. You haven't prepared much for the baby. It's about to give birth, I have to go and prepare things. You stay on the mountain for ten more days, and your uncle's son's full moon banquet is over. Your uncle also said that when Han Qing is born, he will prepare the eggs and chicken cakes. When you are in good health, you have to go to your uncle's house."

"Got it." Liu Chenghan said. "My son was on the mountain and the Taoist priest gave me a divination, saying that he will give birth in the middle of the twelfth lunar month, and he is a healthy boy."

"That's good. I think the news is good for you to go to the Taoist temple this time." Zhou Hongmei put her hands together and said, and then went out in a hurry. It's not long until the middle of the twelfth lunar month.His appearance is far from the slow-moving Zhou Hongmei in Liu Chenghan's memory. Aya, who is as calm as an ancient well, seems to have been activated, and has the demeanor and temper of his youth again.All of this was brought by Liu Hanqing.

Liu Chenghan beckoned Liu Hanqing to sit down beside the bed with a smile on his face, and held his hand, "Where did you sleep recently?"

"Aya tidied up a guest room as a delivery room, and you would have a high fever when you came back. I was afraid that it would affect your rest, so I went to sleep in the delivery room first." Liu Hanqing said.

"Come to sleep tonight." Liu Chenghan said.

Liu Hanqing talked about other things, "In autumn, Liu Shun went to the mountains to get a lot of game, and gave home a few times fresh ones. Aya and I couldn't eat much at home, and it was all smoked. I will cut a plate for you to taste tonight. taste?"

"What's in the autumn mountains?" Liu Chenghan asked.

"Autumn is the best time to hunt. There are all kinds of pheasants, hares and boars. If you are lucky, you can meet deer. There are mushrooms, fungus, and hickory in the mountains." Liu Hanqing said with nostalgia, "Usually after the autumn harvest, I also hunt wild animals. I will follow them to the mountains, collect those mountain products, return them to dry, and send them to the county to sell before the end of the year, and the money from the sales can be used to tear a few feet of new cloth and make new clothes."

"It won't work this year, I will accompany you next year." Liu Chenghan said.

Liu Hanqing went dumb again.

"What's the matter today, you don't want to talk to me or what?" Liu Chenghan said with a smile.

Liu Hanqing looked at the embroidered pattern on the curtain, and said in a voice like a mosquito, "Actually, you can do it without your hands, there are other things."

"What?" Liu Chenghan pretended not to hear.

"No, it's nothing." Liu Hanqing hurriedly shook his head and said, can he say that after Liu Chenghan said that he would stretch him with his hands, his mind was full of this matter?He's not the unruly kind.

"You." Liu Chenghan hugged him in his arms and said, "You're so shy with your hands, we still need London in the future, what should we do."

"For the sake of the body, Da Lang should cultivate himself." Liu Hanqing whispered.

"No matter how much you cultivate yourself, you can't become a monk." Liu Chenghan said, "The child is about to be born, what are you afraid of?"

Liu Hanqing sighed silently, yes, what are you afraid of?

The fever is gone, and Liu Chenghan also feels that he has made up for the sleep he owed before, so he is not going to continue lying on the bed, wearing thick winter clothes, holding a hand heater in his hand, although it feels exaggerated, but Liu Chenghan also admits it, not like this Not to mention Ah Ya, Liu Hanqing could block the door to prevent him from going out.

Zhou Hongmei dragged out a series of children's things from the warehouse, including a cradle, a wooden horse, and a small bed. Liu Hanqing had already boiled hot water as instructed, and now brought hot water and handkerchiefs, and the two sat on the porch to clean these things , Liu Chenghan also sat aside to watch them clean up.

"These are all used by Da Lang when he was a child." Zhou Hongmei said, "When his father knew that I was pregnant, he was very excited. He found the best materials used by the carpenter. I laughed at him for spending money. He said Da Lang After Lang uses it, he can also use it for his younger brothers."

"Now it's suitable for Da Lang's son." Zhou Hongmei was stunned for a moment and then smiled, "The material is good. Look at this thing, it still feels quite durable after looking at it now."

"Da Lang liked to sleep in the cradle when he was a child. His father didn't know how to hug him at the time, and he cried loudly when he hugged him. He insisted on putting it in the cradle before he gave up." Zhou Hongmei chattered about Liu Chenghan's childhood trifles, "Da Lang can now You have to learn how to hold a child by holding a pillow, so that sometimes the child won’t let you hold it.”

"With Ah Ya here, I probably won't be able to hug her." Liu Chenghan said with a smile.

"Of course I can't hug my grandson enough, but you can't be lazy. You don't hug too much. When the child grows up, you won't take it lightly." Zhou Hongmei said.He also discussed with Liu Hanqing what pattern to embroider on the new quilt he made for the baby.

The family sat together talking and laughing happily.Liu Hanqing went to put the cleaned cradle and other things in the courtyard to dry. Zhou Hongmei wiped her hands with a handkerchief and said to Liu Chenghan, "I have such a life, and I am happier than you when you bring back mountains of gold and silver. Think about this time next year. , and there is a little person walking around, I am very upset."

"I know." Liu Chenghan said, "A good family together is more important than anything else."

It's late autumn now, the days are short and the nights are long. Liu Chenghan's house has been lit with charcoal fire and cotton curtains are hung up, as if it's already the rhythm of winter. Liu Chenghan went to see the delivery room, which was decorated with a vacant wing room, a simple shelf The bed, the bedding on the bed is thick, there is nothing else except the bed and table stools, it looks quite empty and simple.

Liu Hanqing looked at Liu Chenghan's expression and said, "It's just a room to live in temporarily. Besides, when it's time to give birth, too many things will get in the way."

"Why can't we just have sex in our room?" Liu Chenghan asked puzzled.

Liu Hanqing bowed his head and said, "The delivery room is bloody, and we should avoid it. It would be great if the delivery can go smoothly, but like Brother Xiao, if the delivery process doesn't stop, the room will be uninhabitable."

"Bah, bah, bah, there's no limit to children's words, there's no limit to children's words." Liu Chenghan said hastily.

Liu Hanqing was amused by his childish words, and pushed him out, "There is no charcoal pot in this room, be careful of the cold, go back to the room quickly."

In the afternoon of that day, Liu Chenghan swiped a big pen in the study and wrote the word "natural delivery", then framed it himself, and hung it in the delivery room.Zhou Hongmei and Liu Hanqing asked to understand the meaning of those two words, and agreed repeatedly.

Liu Laowu and his brothers set up a kiln to burn charcoal together. Liao Xiaodou went on to send charcoal to his in-laws. He came to see Liu Hanqing. Zhou Hongmei took the charcoal and thanked him very much. , are all purchased charcoal, especially the silver silk charcoal used in Liu Chenghan's room, which is smokeless and tasteless.

Liao Xiaodou saw that his son was doing well, and all the preparations for the delivery were done. He felt relieved, and said to Liu Hanqing with a smile, "Now I can stay at home and wait for your red eggs. I don't care about your child's silver collar and bracelet." Ready."

"Aya has also prepared a set, and my uncle will definitely have a set when the time comes, and the children won't be able to bring it along." Liu Hanqing said. "Have the houses built for hundreds of families been built?"

"When the child is three or four years old, these small ones will be melted to make a big one, until he is seven or eight years old." Liao Xiaodou said, "Baijia said that the foundation will not move, so we should renovate the existing house, and then we will renovate the existing house. Just build a few new ones, it won’t cost much, this kid has saved a lot of money quietly, so we don’t need our money to build it for him.”

"After discussing with your father, I will use the money prepared for him to buy him a whole new set of furniture, and save the rest, and use it when he promises to kiss." Liao Xiaodou said, "Your brother goes there every day. Those who are gesticulating, those who don’t know think that he built the house and he lives in it.”

Liu Hanqing laughed, the two chatted for a while, Liu Hanqing sent him home, Zhou Hongmei got him an oiled paper bag, "This is the fish my brother-in-law sent over last time, take it home and try my recipe. "

Liao Xiaodou had to shirk a bit, and finally returned with an oiled paper bag. After watching his figure go away, Liu Hanqing said to Zhou Hongmei embarrassedly, "The original family burns charcoal with a few uncles every year to count the days. The first batch of new charcoal."

"You, Aya, know how to give things away, and every time you do it, it's just right for you. No amount of preparation is enough to wash your child's diapers in winter, and you have to dry them with charcoal fire." Zhou Hongmei said.

"Aya, don't you dislike the strong smell of charcoal?" Liu Hanqing asked.

"It's okay, I dried some fragrant tree bark in the summer, and then put it in the charcoal fire, and the smoky smell will disappear." Zhou Hongmei said.

Although they are all nervously looking forward to the arrival of the new life, but because it is the end of the year, there are still many things to be busy.Liu Chenghan was finally allowed to go out to let the wind go. He carried the manuscript and the list of things to buy, and went to his uncle's house alone.Liu Hanqing's belly has grown, and now he is a person who cannot go out at will.

Zhou Chunguang was very happy to see Liu Chenghan, but he also knew that he was very busy these days, so he didn't ask him to stay at home for a few more days. Liu Chenghan took the manuscript to the bookstore to exchange for a tael of silver, and then bought what Zhou Hongmei asked for. Go back with a small bag.

Before the twelfth lunar month, there were two heavy snowfalls. Liu Chenghan had never seen such heavy snowfalls. It was the first time he went out to watch the snow and came home with a runny nose all night. He was declared the next day that he could stay at home for the winter.

As the twelfth lunar month entered, no matter whether it was Liu Chenghan, Zhou Hongmei, or the person involved, Liu Hanqing, they all began to get nervous.Liu Hanqing even started to suffer from insomnia, but Liu Chenghan did all the movements of sucking milk and expanding, and she slept very sweetly.

One day, two days, three days, nothing happened.On the tenth day, the first day in the middle of the month, Liu Chenghan sat down for a while after eating breakfast, and felt a little uncomfortable, as if he was about to start, Zhou Hongmei hurriedly hung a red cloth on the roof, because he had already agreed with the doctor on this matter. It will be launched in a few days, so he will come soon.

From entering the house to giving birth, within an hour, the baby's cries sounded. Liu Chenghan was hardly ready to greet her, and Zhou Hongmei was also very pleasantly surprised.The doctor came out holding the child, "Congratulations, you are a strong boy."

Zhou Hongmei smiled from ear to ear and gave the doctor a red envelope, and hurriedly poured sugar and tea for the doctor.The doctor was amazed, it was rare for him to have such a smooth delivery, Liu Chenghan couldn't go in in time to meet Liu Hanqing, he was lying on the bed, his complexion was slightly pale, but he was in good spirits.

"Where's the child?" Liu Hanqing asked when he saw him come in.

Liu Chenghan was silent, he left the child outside for a while in a moment of excitement, and now it is still in the hands of the doctor.Liu Chenghan could only hurry back and bring his son back.
