Chapter 312 Annunciation
Zhang Shuzhen hurriedly ate some food to fill her stomach, and then hurried to the kitchen, cleaned up the pig's trotters, blanched them, put them in a casserole, and put them on the stove to simmer slowly.

Afterwards, they cooked a pot of millet porridge on the Westinghouse stove with the small aluminum pot with two ears that Sheng Xiping and the others brought up the mountain.

Slowly simmer the carefully cooked millet porridge until the rice oil comes out, then take it out, change the household items and cook a few eggs.

After everything was done, Zhang Shuzhen went into the Westinghouse with the meal.

"Girl, get up and eat something. You just gave birth and your stomach is empty. Eat something to save yourself from being hungry."

Zhou Qinglan was just in a daze after giving birth, but she didn't sleep deeply. She woke up when her mother-in-law called her.

"Don't move, Mom will help you up."

Zhang Shuzhen quickly got on the kang, helped Zhou Qinglan sit up halfway, and put two pillows behind her to lean on.

Then peeled the eggs, put them in the millet porridge, and sent them to Zhou Qinglan.

"There is brown sugar in the porridge, so the color is dark. It's okay. You need to drink some brown sugar to replenish blood at this time."

Zhang Shuzhen was afraid that Zhou Qinglan would not drink the maroon porridge, so she quickly explained.

"First eat millet porridge and eggs for this meal, and next meal, mom will make brown sugar water eggs for you.

The pig’s trotters are still stewed in the kitchen, and when the stew is almost done, I put peanuts and red dates in it, and then put a few passepartouts, and the stuff will give milk the fastest after drinking it. "

After passing the meal to his daughter-in-law, Zhang Shuzhen hurriedly unwrapped her little grandson to check whether he had urinated or pulled.

"Mom, you don't have to go to such trouble to make food for me. I can eat whatever I eat at home. Millet porridge and eggs are fine."

Zhou Qinglan heard from her mother and relatives that women eat millet porridge and eggs during confinement to nourish their bodies.

In the past, when the conditions were poor, it would be good to drink some millet porridge and eat some eggs three days before giving birth.

In the follow-up, I ate pancakes and pickles with my family, and I came here like that.

Zhou Qinglan gave birth for the first time, and she didn't understand anything.

She thinks that the living conditions of the Sheng family are quite good, almost every meal has meat, and others may not be able to eat so well after confinement.

There are a lot of things going on at home, and Sheng Xiping is not at home, and he is busy pointing at his mother-in-law inside and out.

Zhou Qinglan thought about eating with everyone, there is no need to trouble her mother-in-law to make a small stove.

"Then how can I do it? In the past, people always ate millet eggs because of poor conditions.

Our family is not talking about what you want now, anyway, I have prepared all the food you eat during the confinement period. Don't worry, there will definitely be no shortage of food for you during this confinement period.

I'll make it for you in a different way, so you can eat it with peace of mind, and it's serious to take care of your body. "

Zhang Shuzhen put a soft urinal on the little grandson, and then rewrapped the big urinal and quilt, and wrapped the outside with a quilt.

While working, he talked to his daughter-in-law.

For her daughter-in-law's confinement, Zhang Shuzhen started preparations long in advance.

Not counting her own chickens for laying eggs, she also found a hundred eggs from the big alkali field, and reserved them for Zhou Qinglan's confinement.

In addition to the pig's trotters, all kinds of meat, white noodles, and dried noodles that she had saved up this winter, as long as she could think of it, she prepared it all and gave it to her daughter-in-law.

"Mom, you are so thoughtful, thank you." Zhou Qinglan was so touched that she was eating.

Ever since she was pregnant, she has heard many aunts and ladies in the forest farm talking about their confinement in the past.

Most of these women in the forest farm come from their hometown in Shandong.

It is far away from my natal family, my mother-in-law is not around, and my husband is not at home all day long, so there is no one to help.

At that time, it was impossible for them to give birth to a full moon, and they usually went to work in the fields within three days.

Washing clothes, washing urinals, cooking meals for the whole family, etc., you have to do everything.

Many people have problems sitting down during the confinement period, and they all find it when they reach the age. It is either back pain or leg pain, but it is a sin.

"Look at you kid, what are you talking about? What's the use of thanking you?

You are the daughter-in-law of our family, and you are the grandson of Lao Sheng's family.

Xiping can't come back from work on the mountain, so I won't take good care of you, who will take care of you?Isn't that what a mother-in-law should do? "Zhang Shuzhen was delighted when she heard it.

"When I was born Xiping, your grandma and grandma were all far away, and the whole family was too busy.

Your father asked for leave to take care of me at home for five days, and then hurried up to work in the mountains.

Fortunately, it was summer at that time, so I didn't suffer too much, so I went to work slowly by myself.

Later, when Xi'an and Xikang were born, it was your grandma who sent your aunt to take care of me during confinement.

When the fourth, fifth, and sixth children are born, Xiping will grow up. He can help with cooking and cooking, and he will get over it slowly. "

Zhang Shuzhen wrapped up her little grandson and put her on the kang. The little guy slept soundly, and he didn't wake up when grandma changed the diaper and put the bag on the rinse bag.

Zhang Shuzhen is rare, sitting next to her grandson, looking at her little grandson with a smile on her face, while chatting with her daughter-in-law.

"I've suffered from not being able to sit well during confinement, but I can't let you suffer the same.

This woman, the most important thing is to give birth to a child and stay in confinement. After confinement is taken care of, there will be no root cause of the disease. Otherwise, you will hurt everywhere in the future, what can you do? "

Seeing her daughter-in-law finish eating a bowl of porridge, Zhang Shuzhen took the bowl, filled another half bowl, and put an egg in it.

"You can't eat too much at once, eat less, and I will make it for you later.

You don't have to be polite, my mother, just tell me when you feel hungry, but don't hold back.

Later, if the baby wakes up and cries, you can pick him up and feed him, regardless of whether there is milk or not, let him suck, exercise, and slowly he will be fine. "

Zhang Shuzhen waited on her daughter-in-law after dinner, packed up the dishes and went out to clean them up.

Then he opened the casserole and looked at it, and inserted a pig's trotter with chopsticks. When he felt that it was almost ready, he put peanuts, jujubes, and Passepartout into it.

When these are all stewed, the pig's trotters will be stewed and bloom. Skim off the oil on it, put a bowl of soup, and boiled peanuts, and send it to Zhou Qinglan to drink.

The baby woke up enough to sleep and started crying.

Zhou Qinglan picked up the baby and fed it according to her mother-in-law's instructions.

It wasn't long after she gave birth, and the milk wouldn't come so soon. The little baby sucked and sucked hard, but there was nothing, and the angry baby cried at the top of his throat.

When Zhang Shuzhen saw it, she quickly poured some sugar water in a tea mug, and fed it to her grandson little by little with a small spoon.

The little baby tasted the taste of sugar water, tapped his mouth, and stopped crying.

When Sheng Xiping went to the county to do errands, he specially bought two bags of milk powder and kept them for the baby to drink before he was born.

But Zhang Shuzhen has never seen this milk powder, nor heard of anyone who drinks milk powder after birth, so she doesn't want to give it to her child.

Furthermore, when newborn babies open their mouths to eat, the custom in most places is to feed them sugar water.

What is said that the little baby drinks sugar water and opens his mouth, and in the future he will be able to talk when his mouth is sweet, so Zhang Shuzhen feeds the child sugar water.

The baby is too young to feed too much, so Zhang Shuzhen stopped after feeding a few spoonfuls.

The little thing waited with its mouth open, but after waiting for a long time, there was no sweet water, and it started to cry again angrily.

"Oh, you little bastard, you know how to shout at the top of your voice. Then your mother hasn't given milk yet, so it's useless for you to cry.

Be good, wait a little longer, wait for your mother to have milk, you can eat whatever you want. "

Zhang Shuzhen picked up her grandson, patted and coaxed her for a while.

The child was probably tired from crying, his voice gradually became quieter, and he fell asleep after a while.

"The child is asleep, and you should take the time to sleep for a while, and when he wakes up crying, you still let him suck as before.

It doesn't matter if you cry when you can't eat milk, it's a job for a baby to cry, as long as you don't cry hard, you'll be fine. "

Seeing that her grandson was asleep, Zhang Shuzhen put the baby on the kang, gave Zhou Qinglan a few words, and closed the door to come out from the west room.

"Third brother, hurry up and go to the control room of the field department and ask them to contact the mountain.

Inform your elder brother that your sister-in-law has given birth, and ask him to ask for leave to come back to see his wife and child. "

Zhou Qinglan gave birth, and Sheng Xiping didn't know it was on the mountain, so he must find a way to announce the good news to the mountain, call Sheng Xiping back, and then Sheng Xiping will go to announce the good news to the Zhou family.

This is the rule, no matter how busy the mountain is, Sheng Xiping has to ask for leave and come back to stay for a few days to accompany his wife and children.

"Oh, I got it, Mom." Sheng Xikang agreed, and immediately got dressed and went out to find someone in the chief control room of the field department.

When the dispatch room heard that Mr. Zhou, Sheng Xiping's daughter-in-law, had given birth, he quickly contacted the dispatch camp at the operation point on the mountain with a mobile phone.

The dispatch camp received the news and quickly arranged for someone to find Sheng Xiping.

At this time, Sheng Xiping was gathering with a group of young men in the cafeteria, listening to the grinning of the old men.

"Sheng Xiping, the control room of the field department called, saying that your daughter-in-law gave birth to a fat boy at five o'clock this afternoon, weighing six pounds and six taels."

The people from the dispatching team went to the dormitory but failed to find Sheng Xiping, so they went to the cafeteria under the guidance of others, looked around and saw Sheng Xiping sitting in the corner, listening attentively to Lao Xiao and the others telling dirty jokes.

The man hurried over, yelling loudly as he ran.

Sheng Xiping was dumbfounded when he heard what the other party yelled.

When he accompanied Zhou Qinglan back to her mother's house before, Wang Chunxiu had calculated the due date, which should be January [-]th.

It's still a few days away, why did you give birth early?

"Xi Ping, what are you thinking? Qing Lan gave birth to a fat boy who weighed six pounds and six taels for you.

Hurry up and ask the field manager for a leave of absence, and go back by car tomorrow morning to see your wife. "

On the other side, Gao Haining, who was already a father, seemed to be used to Sheng Xiping's shady state, so he quickly poked him and reminded him to ask for leave immediately.

Only then did Sheng Xiping come to his senses, yes, there's no way this woman can be sure of having a baby, ten or eight days earlier, or a few days later, that's perfectly normal.

"Everyone, I'm sorry, I have to go first. When the child is full moon, I will treat you to drink full moon wine."

Sheng Xiping stood up, punched everyone in the cafeteria, turned around and walked out quickly.

Not only did he have to ask for leave, but he also had to tell his father Sheng Liancheng the good news.

"Dad, Qing Lan gave birth to a big fat boy who weighed six pounds and six taels. He was born this afternoon."

Sheng Xiping ran to the diesel generator room where Sheng Liancheng worked, and breathlessly announced the good news to Sheng Liancheng.

When Sheng Liancheng heard this, he was overjoyed, "Oh, a big fat boy who weighs six pounds and six taels is so rare.

When you were born, you were only five catties and sixty-two. This little guy is heavier than you, and he will definitely be more promising than you in the future. "

Sheng Liancheng was so happy that he didn't know what to say, so he wandered back and forth in the computer room. Smoking was not allowed in the computer room, otherwise, he would definitely light a cigarette.

"Dad, I'll come over and tell you something to make you happy too.

Well, I'm going to ask for leave first, and I'll go straight down the mountain and go home later. "

The person just said that Zhou Qinglan gave birth to a fat boy, but he didn't say how Zhou Qinglan was.

Sheng Xiping was worried, he didn't even want to wait for this night, he wanted to go home quickly.

The daughter-in-law has suffered a lot for giving birth to a child, and he can't be by his side. He must rush back when he knows the news.

"Boss, wait a moment." Upon hearing this, Sheng Liancheng hurriedly called out to his son.

"It's so long ago, how can there be a car to go back to the forest farm? How are you going down at this time?"

During the winter sports season, front-line workers are permanently stationed in the mountains, but workers such as ruler inspection, acceptance inspection, safety personnel, and on-site personnel do not need to be on duty.

At the same time, there will be original trolleys pulled by internal combustion engines to and from the mountains, forest farms, and Songjiang River wood storage yards.

But these cars are running during the day, and it’s already past eight o’clock in the evening. How can there be any cars?

"Dad, I can walk back, isn't it just thirty or forty miles away?
I went back along the railway, it was only four or five o'clock, and I got home in the middle of the night. "

Sheng Xiping was so anxious that he didn't want to delay a quarter of an hour. He just wanted to go home quickly to see his wife and children.

"Nonsense, it's freezing and snowy at night, you are walking back at night by yourself, what if you encounter some wild beasts along the way?
You are here to work in the mountains, not to hunt, and you didn’t bring anything with you. What a mistake, you still let this family survive? "

Sheng Liancheng was very angry and scolded Da'er angrily.

"Dad, I have grass in my heart. Even if you let me stay on the mountain, I won't be able to sleep tonight." Sheng Xiping scratched his head, he was really anxious.

"No, you can't go down tonight no matter what you say, if you can't sleep, stay here with me on duty.

It doesn't work to say anything, I just can't go back tonight. "Sheng Liancheng glared at his son fiercely.

My father has spoken, what can Sheng Xiping say?Besides, Sheng Liancheng was doing it for his own good.

"That's fine, I'll ask for leave first, and I'll take the car down tomorrow morning." In the end, Sheng Xiping compromised.

Sheng Liancheng waved his hand, "Go ask for leave, ask for a few more days, and go back to spend time with your wife.

When your mother gave birth to you, I took five days off. "Sheng Liancheng sighed as he remembered the past.

"Don't worry on the mountain, I'll cover for you during my shift and help you watch over."

Sheng Liancheng looked at the generator room. He was on duty for a day and night, and he took a day and a night off.

In fact, there is not much work here, as long as you watch the generator and don't stop, you won't be tired.

Sheng Liancheng has worked in the forestry farm for so many years, from ordinary workers to foremen and small repair factory directors, he definitely did it step by step.

Whether it is chainsaws, tractors, winches, or even internal combustion engines, Sheng Liancheng can drive the machines used in forestry, not only can he drive them, but he can also repair them.

Moreover, Sheng Lian is mature and familiar with all aspects of forestry production. He used to work as a top-up team for Sheng Xi, but he was overqualified and absolutely reliable.

"Got it, Dad, then I'll ask for leave first."

Sheng Xiping nodded, came out of the computer room, went straight to the dispatch camp, and went to the production manager and production dispatcher.

Sheng Xiping wanted to take a week off and go back to spend time with his wife and children.

But Zhao Limin, the head of the production plant, didn't give him such a long vacation, he only agreed to give it three days.

"Xi Ping, right now is the most critical period of the Winter Games, and you are still the captain of the educated youth team.

You said that if you asked for seven days off all at once, then your work team would have to mess up?No, seven days is too long, I really can't give it. "

"Three days, anyway, your daughter-in-law has given birth, and you won't be able to help much when you go back, three days is enough.

Today is the first day of the twelfth lunar month, and we will go down the mountain on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. At that time, your daughter-in-law was not yet confinement. "

Zhao Limin couldn't help it. During the critical period of production in the Winter Games, the educated youth team was the main production force this year. He really couldn't give too long a vacation.

"Uncle Zhao, three days is really too little, I will make arrangements for the work team, besides, my dad can go over to help look after it, so as not to delay the production.

So, five days, five days?Three days is really too little, I can't explain to my father-in-law and mother-in-law. "

What is three days enough for?At least five days.

When Zhou Mingyuan was mentioned, Zhao Limin couldn't say anything else, so he nodded in agreement and gave Sheng Xiping five days off.
