"It's Yuxue! From now on, you will be called Wen Yuxue."

Ye Xiuying picked up Wen Yuxue, and the family called her name softly. Yuxue smiled and responded, as if she liked the name very much.

"Mom, let's feed Xue'er. She hasn't eaten since she was born."

Ye Xiuying gently put her down, got up and went to the kitchen, and filled some hot water into the ceramic basin containing the bowl of breast milk. When the breast milk was warm, she took a small pointed spoon and scooped a drop, then dropped it on the back of her hand to test the temperature.

Ye Xiuying came into the house with breast milk, "Xue'er, you must be hungry, let's drink some milk."

Yuxue's little mouth opened and closed, and her big eyes like black grapes kept looking at Ye Xiuying.

Ye Xiuying handed the bowl to Wen Qingcheng, picked up Wen Yuxue, and let her lie diagonally in her arms. She used one hand to scoop a small spoonful of breast milk and fed it to Wen Yuxue.

The pink little mouth opened cooperatively and the breast milk slid into her mouth. Wen Yuxue swallowed it and stared at the spoon in Ye Xiuying's hand with anticipation.

Zicheng, who was standing by, looked at Wen Yuxue with curiosity and exclaimed, "Xue'er is so smart. She has learned to suckle."

After feeding her half a bowl of milk, Yuxue tilted her head to one side, probably because she was full. Ye Xiuying collected the remaining breast milk in a large bowl.

Wen Yuxue, who was full, waved her little hands, picked her mouth and then put them down. Suddenly, there was a muffled "puff" sound and she farted, which made the whole family laugh.

When Wen Yuxue saw the family laughing at her, she turned her face to the side and closed her eyes to pretend to sleep. It was also the first time that Wen Qingcheng saw an embarrassed expression on a baby's face.

After Wen Yuxue had eaten, she slept for a while. The family even walked lightly. Zicheng lay beside her to keep her company, while Ye Xiuying went to prepare dinner.

Wen Qingcheng and Chuyi went to the yard to sweep the snow. The snow was not deep, so they finished quickly. When they returned to the warm house, Wen Yuxue had just woken up and stretched out an arm from the quilt.

Zicheng lay on his side, propped up his head, made faces at her and teased her. Yuxue suddenly cried out "wow". Zicheng was at a loss for a moment.

Wen Qingcheng hurried over to see what was happening. Realizing that Zicheng had frightened her and made her cry, she tapped Zicheng's nose lightly in a reproachful manner.

Ye Xiuying came in with food. When she heard Wen Yuxue crying, she put down the plate in her hand and ran over, "Zicheng, did you bully your sister?"

Zicheng was indeed making faces to tease her, and she remained silent out of guilt. Chuyi also came in and said foolishly, "Zicheng deserves a spanking."

Ye Xiuying coaxed her by making “Oh oh oh” sounds and picked her up, only to find that she had peed.

"Xue'er had peed. She is very smart. She felt uncomfortable because of the wetness, so she cried and attracted our attention." Ye Xiuying said.

Wen Qingcheng had never raised a baby before, and didn't know what to do for a moment: "Xue'er cried too late, she has already peed, Xue'er, next time can you cry in advance when you need to pee, I will get you a basin."

Chuyi was amused by Wen Qingcheng, "My wife is stupid."

When Wen Qingcheng heard Chuyi say this to her, she pouted to show her dissatisfaction, jumped up and slapped him on the forehead: "Humph, you idiot, you actually said I'm stupid."

Yu Xue, who was lying in Ye Xiuying's arms, saw Wen Qingcheng and Chuyi playing and fighting. She stopped crying instantly and grinned.

Ye Xiuying said, "You two stop making trouble. Qingcheng, go find a piece of dry cotton cloth. Chuyi, take away the wet diaper that Xue'er has laid on you and throw it into the ashes first."

"Oh" Chuyi agreed and took the diaper off the kang.

Soon, Wen Qingcheng brought a large piece of dry cotton cloth and waited for Ye Xiuying's next instruction. Except for Ye Xiuying, everyone else in this family was a novice in taking care of children.

"This piece is too big. Use scissors to cut it in half, fold it up, and spread it under her body."

Wen Qingcheng took out a pair of scissors from the cupboard and quickly finished cutting the diaper. She folded the diaper and placed it on the kang. Ye Xiuying gently put Yuxue down.

"Qingcheng, you stay here and keep an eye on Xue'er."

After saying that, Ye Xiuying took a small basin, added warm water, soaked a clean towel in it, wrung it dry, and then lifted Yuxue's calves with both hands and wiped her buttocks.

After cleaning up, Yuxue seemed to be very comfortable, kicking her legs happily. After wrapping her up, she kicked the small blanket away soon.

"Mom, let's make some clothes for her." Wen Qingcheng looked at Yuxue lying naked in the thin quilt. If she was not well behaved in it, she would easily catch a cold.

Ye Xiuying smiled and said, "I thought so too. During the Dragon Boat Festival this year, I made some moxa wool. I thought that if someone in the family caught a cold and had a fever in the winter, I could use it for moxibustion. I think I'll use it to make a moxa bellyband for Xue'er first."

"A bellyband made of moxa?" Wen Qingcheng thought about it and realized that she had indeed read an ancient book in her previous life, which mentioned making a bellyband out of moxa.

Having nothing to do after dinner in the evening, Ye Xiuying cut a small bellyband pattern out of paper, then took a piece of charcoal to fold the paper pattern and spread it on a bright red floral cotton cloth.

Wen Qingcheng and the others surrounded Ye Xiuying under the light. Although they couldn't help, they could still help pass scissors to her.

Ye Xiuying used scissors to cut the cloth into the shape of a bellyband, and took out a piece of red brocade to make the surface of the bellyband. Then she sewed it, sewing the straps, and then turned it over from the reserved opening, so that the stitches could not be seen from the outside.

"Qingcheng, go get Ai Rong."

After Ye Xiuying gave the order, she cut a piece of soft pink cloth into a rectangle. When Wen Qingcheng brought the moxa, she twisted it to make sure there were no impurities, and then began to spread it flat.

Soon, a moxa bellyband lining was ready. Wen Qingcheng understood what Ye Xiuying meant.

"Mom, you are really skillful. I was wondering if the moxa bellyband can be washed. It turns out that it is made into a moxa liner."

After Ye Xiuying finished, she put the liner into the bellyband, adjusted it flat, and put it on Wen Yuxue. Ye Xiuying sewed three sets of ropes, the first set can be hung around the neck, the second set is tied around the waist, and the third set is short and is tied around the thigh.

After the bellyband was put on, she would not catch a cold no matter how she moved. The bright red brocade bellyband made Wen Yuxue look even more delicate.

It was late at night, everything was quiet, and snow was falling outside again. Wen Qingcheng was lying in the warm bed, and vaguely heard someone pacing back and forth outside the yard. Xiao Hei would call out to the outside from time to time.

Wen Qingcheng put on a cloak, took a candlestick, and came to Ye Xiuying's room. By the candlelight, she saw Wen Yuxue and Zicheng sleeping sweetly. Ye Xiuying was a light sleeper. When she heard that it was Wen Qingcheng who came in, she sat up gently and asked quietly, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"Mom, did you hear any noise outside?"

The mother and daughter held their breath and stopped. Besides the barking of dogs, they also heard someone sneezing outside the yard.

"There really is someone!" Ye Xiuying looked a little nervous.

Their home had been robbed before, so Ye Xiuying could not sleep soundly at night, and a little bit of the outside world was exposed to her. Now that she had money in her hands, she was often uneasy.

"I'll go take a look." Wen Qingcheng said.

"Qingcheng, don't go!" Ye Xiuying held Wen Qingcheng. They didn't know what was going on outside. What if there was an ambush?
