"Don't be sad. We can't cry during the confinement period. That's what I'm saying. It's okay for the baby to eat and not be picky. But you will have to be more tired later. It will only take a few months. The baby is slow. If you can eat something else soon, you will feel more relaxed.
If you have any difficulties during this period, just tell your aunt, if my family can help, I will definitely help," Xu Dahua said
"We don't have this at the moment. If we do in the future, I will definitely talk to you, aunt," Fang Nuo said.
"By the way, it's already noon. Have you eaten? It's the confinement period now. Neither the child nor you can be hungry." Xu Dahua asked
"No, I'll just cook some noodles at home later," Fang Nuo said.
She was still not used to having to trouble others to take care of her, so she could only say that she would cook noodles for a while.
"That's okay. Since I said I will take care of you in the next two days, don't be polite to me. You still have food in the kitchen. I'll go cook something for you right away. I'll wait for you in the evening. When I come here, I will boil some eggs for you to replenish your body." Xu Dahua said and started to go to the kitchen.
Fang Nuo couldn't stop her, so he could only give her the key and ask her to cook more and then have lunch with her here.
Xu Dahua agreed, but she didn't plan to have lunch here. Jianguo still had children to raise, and she couldn't bear the shame of eating here.
I decided to make lunch for her and go back to take a look. In the afternoon, I would bring some nutritious food over and cook it for her.
In Fang Nuo's cabinet, there is also a small bag of about half a pound of flour, a bag of cornmeal, some sweet potatoes, potatoes, and some beans.
Xu Dahua cooked a bowl of pimple soup for her. Apart from this bit of grain, she didn't even look at any other vegetable leaves in the kitchen, so he could only cook a bowl of pimple soup for her to eat first.
Fang Nuo looked at the pimple soup she brought back and felt relieved. Fortunately, he usually took the food from the space to cook, and took back the uneaten food to the space immediately. He was afraid that someone would suddenly come to the house and see him. These things are hard to explain.
"Okay, you eat your food first. When I came here in the morning, I still had some unfinished things at home, so I'm going back now. You stay well in the room. I will come over to cook for you at dinner. You put the children and Just take care of yourself and don't let the cold wind blow you," Xu Dahua said
"Auntie, didn't you tell me that you'll have lunch at my place? You can go back after you eat," Fang Nuo said, putting down the bowl.
"Okay, my family still lacks my stuttering food. If you really want to thank me, you can wait until later. I will go back first. You can stay warm on the kang and don't go to the ground." Xu Dahua said, He picked up his coat and put it on, then opened the door and left.
Fang Nuo looked at the bowl of pimple soup and felt a touch of warmth in this strange world.
After eating the pimple soup, she continued to sew Yaya's little clothes.
She was going to make an inner wear, using very soft and warm cotton. When sewing, she tried to make the stitches as thin as possible and hide the threads so as not to rub against the child's skin.
The other thing is to make a set of slightly thicker cotton-padded clothes, so that when she has to work outside after confinement, she will definitely bring one with her. Wearing thicker clothes can also prevent her from getting cold. Get ill.
After Xu Dahua returned from Fang Nuo, many people in the village knew that Fang Nuo had given birth.
Since many families at this time favored sons over daughters, Xu Dahua did not say that the child was a girl, only that she did not know.
She took care of Fang Nuo for three days and finally got her to get off the kang and move around the house, but she still refused to let her out.
This weather is actually perfect for confinement, as long as you avoid the cold wind and keep warm.
It’s not like confinement in the summer. It’s already very hot outside. People still have to wear hats, socks, and quilts when they’re in the house. Some people can’t stand the heat. After a month of confinement, you’ll feel hot all over your body even if you sit down. There were a lot of prickly heat.
Not long after Xu Dahua returned home after preparing lunch for her, Fang Nuo heard a noise in the yard.
She asked aloud: "Who is it? Is it Aunt Dahua?"
He didn't hear a reply for a long time, but there was the sound of rummaging for something next door. Fang Nuo thought it was a burglar in the house. He suddenly became angry, picked up a stick that he usually used to avoid knocking on the door, and walked out. In the house, no one could see clearly who it was when he went to the next door. He picked up a stick and beat him.
While hitting him in the mouth, he cursed: "I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you to death. You stole everything and even came to my house. You came in broad daylight. You are so brave."
"Ouch... stop fighting... stop fighting, it's me, the one who built the country," the man replied while hiding.
Fang Nuo knew who it was when she made a sound, but he used even more strength in his hands.
This person was the mother-in-law of the original owner, the old pious woman who kicked out a pregnant woman as soon as her son died.
Fang Xiaonuo gave birth here alone. In the end, she died of massive hemorrhage because there was no one to help her. This old pious woman was half responsible.
This was a breath of relief for Fang Xiaonuo. Thinking that her hand was moving faster, she knocked the first person to the ground, and then she dropped the stick.
Then he ran out and shouted: "Come here, there is a thief in my house. They broke into my house in broad daylight."
After a while, many villagers working nearby were attracted. When everyone heard the sound, they came over and saw Fang Nuo shouting and crying at the gate. Several aunts who loved their daughter stepped forward to support her and said, "You are the one who built the country, why are you still here?" I'm sitting in confinement, why did I come out, go back to the house quickly, it won't be good if I get sick due to the cold wind."
"Aunt, my life is miserable. I just gave birth to a baby, and a thief broke into my house in broad daylight. I only have a few things in the house. What should I do if this is stolen? I still have a baby to support." Fang Nuo said, wiping the corners of her eyes with her sleeves stained with onion water. She couldn't stop crying for a while, and everyone looked at her and felt pity for her.
"What are you talking about? There was a burglar in the house. When did it happen?" a man asked
"Just now, I was resting in the house and heard the door of my house being opened.
I originally thought it was Aunt Dahua, but just after she went back for a while, I called a few times, but the person didn't respond.
After a while I heard someone rummaging through things in the kitchen next door. I went to take a look with a stick and saw that the thief was about to break the lock of my box containing food. I hit the man. I was really scared, so I could only Come out and call someone," Fang Nuo said, and the person was shaking with fear.
"This thief is too arrogant. Let us go and show it to you. If we catch someone, we must send him to the public security bureau." A man stepped forward and said
The aunts who had just comforted Fang Nuo helped her back into the house, comforting her as they walked: "Don't be afraid, wait until they go and take a look, the whole village will make the decision for it."
