Pig Killer

Chapter 174

"If you raise a second child, you won't be nervous. Even if the child cries loudly, you won't even look at him." Doctor Li smiled when he heard this, and then looked at Zhao and smiled and said, "It's okay. You have done everything during the confinement period. I won't say much. Just do the same thing for her as you did for her."

"Yeah!" Zhao smiled and nodded when she heard that.

Doctor Li looked at Shen Yun'e with a smile and said, "You are weak now, so take a good rest. As long as the child doesn't cry, just close your eyes and rest even if you don't sleep."

"Yeah!" Shen Yun'e nodded slightly.

"Come back to me if you need anything." Doctor Li stood up and looked at them and said, "I'm leaving now."

"I'll take you there." Tiefeng carried the medicine box and took Doctor Li out.

"Although the bed is big enough, you should be careful when sleeping and don't suffocate the child." Doctor Li gave these instructions after leaving the main room, and continued to nag him a lot about how to take care of Yun'e who was in confinement.

"Also, also, when you light the oil lamp at night, don't shine it on the children. Be careful not to hurt their eyes." Shen Hui'e said to Tie Feng with her deep and penetrating eyes.

"I know, I know." Tiefeng responded quickly.

"Since fourth sister and her son are safe, we will leave too." Shen Hui'e said, looking at him with clear eyes.

"We're leaving too. We'll come see them tomorrow." Shen Changsheng looked at him gently and said.

"I'll take you there." Tiefeng escorted them out of the house.

Shen Hui'e separated from the Shen brothers and Doctor Li and returned home with a brisk pace.

The big bug looked at her in surprise and said, "Didn't you say it would take a long time?"

"Is the baby born?" Li Nu guessed affirmatively.

"Yes! It's born." Shen Hui'e looked at them with a smile and said, "It's a boy."

"A boy!" Li Nu said somewhat disappointedly, "I was thinking of having a sister!"

"Little fool." Shen Hui'e shook her head and laughed, "This is not something we can get just because we want it."

"What if you want to?" Li Nu looked at her with innocent eyes.

"It's useless to think about it. It's beyond human control!" Shen Hui'e bent slightly and said to her at eye level.

"This is God's will, no one can change it." Da Chong laughed foolishly, "If you want a younger sister, let Fourth Aunt give birth to another one!"

"Why doesn't mother give birth?" Li Nu looked at her expectantly with his big watery eyes.

Shen Hui'e shook her head and laughed when she heard this, "This is difficult for me. I can't give birth without your father."

"When will father come back? And I don't know if brother Donglai has arrived yet." Li Nu looked at her with dim eyes.

"I don't know about that." Shen Hui'e said honestly, "Don't think too much, he will come back one day." She smiled and changed the subject, "Don't you want to see your little brother?"

"Is my little brother good-looking? Is he cute?" The big insect asked her with his black eyes.

"Who does he look like?" Li Nu asked curiously.

"I didn't see it." Shen Hui'e smiled embarrassedly.

"Why didn't you go in?" Da Chong looked at her in confusion.

"I just came out of the woods. I'm dirty and it's hard for me to go in. Your eldest uncle and third uncle, I'll wait outside the house." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her gentle eyes and said, "Tomorrow, tomorrow we'll go see your fourth aunt and little brother together."

"Do you want to take the eggs we saved?" The cat slave looked at her with watery eyes and said.

"Not only should you bring eggs, but also chickens." Shen Hui'e said to them with her bright eyes.

"Shall we buy some more chicks?" Big Chong looked at her with his black eyes and said.

"Yes! Before our chickens lay eggs, we want to eat eggs, so let's buy some." Shen Hui'e said to them with a smile on her face.

"As long as I have meat to eat, I don't have to eat eggs." The big tiger said carelessly.

"You can eat a lot of delicious food during the confinement period." Li Nu looked at her with some envy.

"Little fool, the food during the confinement period is not delicious. There is not enough salt and it is tasteless. Even stewed meat and chicken don't contain onions, ginger, or garlic to remove the fishy smell..." Shen Hui'e looked at her and said without exaggeration.

"Ah..." The raccoon opened his mouth and looked at her in disbelief, "Is it still delicious?"

"In order to let my little brother eat well, even if it doesn't taste good, mom has to eat it too." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright black eyes and said.

"Is this how you eat, mother?" Li Nu said, grabbing her hand.

"This is how all women go through life." Shen Hui'e said, stroking her hand.

"How long will it take?" Da Chong looked at her with concern.

"It's confinement time. It takes a month before you can have normal meals." Shen Hui'e said to them with her gentle eyes.

"It takes so long!" said the raccoon slave with a pout.

"It will be soon!" Shen Hui'e stretched out her hand and rubbed her furry dog-skin hat. "Don't we still have the rabbit head and skeleton? Let's make soup with it."

"I haven't drunk the hawthorn juice yet!" said the big tiger, looking back at the big iron pot.

"Drink! Drink now." Shen Hui'e said with a smile on her face.

Each person has a bowl of boiled hawthorn water. After cleaning the large iron pot, simply stir-fry the rabbit head and skeleton, add water and boil the soup.

"Should we cook noodles or vermicelli?" Shen Hui'e clapped her hands and looked up at them.

"Fan Tiao, you're so full from the dumplings that you're not hungry at all. Let's have some soup." The raccoon slave looked at her with his black glass-like eyes.

"Listen to my daughter." Shen Hui'e looked at her with a smile on her face.

"Call us when the meal is ready. We're going to do some boxing." The big tiger looked at her with his round eyes and said.

"Okay!" Shen Hui'e looked at them and smiled gently.

After eating the rabbit head vermicelli soup, Shen Hui'e, feeling warm all over, pushed a wheelbarrow to the countryside to collect pigs.

&*&

The next day, after slaughtering the pig and selling the pork, Shen Hui'e carried the eggs and the chicken coop to Shen Yun'e's home.

"Uncle, we are here." Da Chong shouted at the top of his voice standing at the door.

"Here it comes, here it comes." Tiefeng's voice came from the yard.

There were hurried footsteps, and the door creaked open. Tiefeng looked at them and said with a smile, "You're here."

"Let's take a look at little brother." The big insect looked at him with a smile on his face and said, "These are the eggs and old hens we brought."

"Come in quickly." Tiefeng smiled and stepped aside.

"Is my little brother awake?" Li Nu asked him, blinking his lively eyes.

"Awake!" Tiefeng nodded with a smile.

"Did I cause trouble for you yesterday?" Shen Hui'e asked with concern.

"No! If he cries, I just give him some water and some boiled rice oil. The silly boy eats happily." Tiefeng smiled, his eyes curved into crescents, "I was afraid he wouldn't eat! What a greedy guy."

"His sense of taste is not that sensitive yet! He will eat whatever you give him. He thinks it's good." Shen Hui'e said as she walked, looking at his wet hands, "What are you washing?"

"Wash diapers!" Tiefeng said straightforwardly.

"You wash diapers?" Shen Hui'e looked at him in shock.

"Are you surprised?" Tiefeng said with a chuckle.

"I'm really surprised. Men rarely do this." Shen Hui'e said truthfully, "If people knew about this, they would laugh at you!"

"Yun'e can't touch water. I can't let my sister-in-law wash her! I'm so sorry. I feel bad for taking care of Yun'e during her confinement." Tiefeng looked at her with his dark eyes and said, "I wash my son, not for others."

Shen Hui'e's eyes became even gentler when she heard this. "I'll tell my eldest nephew that his diapers were washed by his father, and ask him to be filial to you. You can say it! It won't affect your dignity as a father!"

"Haha..." Tie Feng shook his head and laughed, "Just tell me! What I am saying is the truth. There is nothing to hide."

"My eldest nephew will definitely be filial to you." Shen Hui'e joked with a smile.

"Don't think too much about it. Isn't filial piety what you should do?" Tiefeng said with an extremely gentle look.

Shen Hui'e looked at him, who looked like a father, and said, "Don't wash the meconium. Just throw it away! It's not easy to wash."

"Throw it away, it's a diaper." Tiefeng said with a smile.

"Use pig pancreas to wash. It's not good to use only water." Shen Hui'e reminded him.

"It's used, it's used. The diapers smell good after washing." Tie Feng smiled and said, "It's very easy to use." He hurriedly urged, "Come in! It's cold outside."

"Yeah!" Shen Hui'e nodded and said, "I put the eggs and the chicken coop in the kitchen!"

"Okay!" Tiefeng watched them go into the kitchen and put down their things, then washed his hands with pig pancreas.

Shen Hui'e explained, "If you want to touch the baby, it's better to have clean hands."

"Second sister is a particular person." Tiefeng said as he looked at the three of them with his dark eyes.

"My hands are dirty. Don't let the baby get uncomfortable or sick. Babies are too fragile." Shen Hui'e washed her hands and shook them.

In those days when medical care was simple, babies had to be carefully cared for because the infant mortality rate was too high.

Things that are obviously risky should naturally be avoided.

Shen Hui'e and the other two lifted the curtain, pushed open the door, and entered the main room.

"Are you awake?" Shen Hui'e said to Shen Yun'e, who was obviously much more energetic.

At this time, Shen Yun'e was wearing a headscarf to protect her from the wind.

"Awake!" Shen Yun'e pointed at the little guy beside her.

Shen Hui'e and the others leaned over the bed and looked at the tightly wrapped little guy.

"Mother, is he so small?" The cat slave looked at him with curiosity.

"Yes! Newborn babies are so small, this one is already very big. Fourth sister eats well." Zhao smiled and said, "Some of the small ones are as big as cats."

"So big, has it grown this big?" The raccoon slave looked at them with surprise in his eyes and gestured the length of the baby with his hands.

"Yes! We are all this age and gradually grew to this height." Shen Hui'e said to her with a smile.

"It's amazing." The raccoon said with his eyes wide open, "He yawned."

"Hehe..." Shen Hui'e shook her head and laughed at her fussing. Her eyes fell on Shen Yun'e and said, "Little one, are you making a fuss? Did you sleep well tonight?"

"Don't make a fuss. I'm sleeping well! It's just this diaper..." Shen Yun'e said embarrassedly, "I've used it too much."
