When the village chief's wife was about to leave, Yu Min gave her four candy bags.

"Auntie, do we have to make steamed buns for everyone in the village during the full moon?"

"This should be."

"I can't wait until my brother's full moon, can I do it earlier?"

"It's okay, I'll come over and steam it when the time comes, don't worry."

"Okay, I'll have to trouble you again tomorrow. I want to go to the county silver shop to carve a silver medal for my brother."

"Okay, go ahead, I'll just take care of your aunt."

"Thank you, Auntie. I just wanted to carve my brother's birth date and name on it."

"Okay. That's very thoughtful of you."

"What do you mean by thoughtful? I don't understand."

After seeing off the village head's wife Yu Min, she prepared food for Wu Xiaozhen. The steamed buns were still hot, so she just needed to heat up the bone soup.

The two of them put all their energy into the child. Wu Xiaozhen saw that Yu Min really liked the child.

"You have a mission, otherwise it would be better for you to raise Xiao Yuan than for me."

Yu Min smiled and shook her head, "I can't do that. I can't even take care of myself. I'm even more afraid of having a child this big."

"Xiao Min, don't try to get the silver medal. It will stand out in the countryside."

"Auntie, I'll just get a small one,"

"It's the same in the countryside. You grew up in the city. The countryside doesn't give children this."

Yu Min nodded, "Okay, I understand. Then I'll get my brother a wooden one. I'll carve it myself."

"Don't hurt your hands."

"I'll be careful. I think I have a piece of wood in my hand. It's pretty hard."

The mother and daughter took a rest, and Yu Min took out a carving knife and a wooden sign.

First design, name, date and time of birth.

By the time the mother and daughter woke up, they still hadn't come up with a design that they were satisfied with.

After that, apart from washing diapers and cooking, I spent the rest of the time carving. The wood was not chosen well, it was too hard, and I really deserved it.

I didn't prepare anything too sumptuous on the 30th because Wu Xiaozhen was in confinement after giving birth and she wouldn't be able to eat even if I cooked too much.

Take a picture of the two of them. "If I could meet my dad, I would definitely show him this."

"Okay, Xiao Min, am I a little embarrassed?"

"Only when Auntie is in such a state of embarrassment can my father know how difficult it was for you to give birth to Xiaoyuan."

Wu Xiaozhen smiled. "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Even in this era, people still set off firecrackers on the night of the 30th, and there really is a New Year atmosphere.

The next day, I got up early and after breakfast, I put the table in the main room, and put peanuts, melon seeds, roasted chestnuts and candies on it. If there were children who came to pay New Year's greetings, I would share them with them.

The door was open, and some children actually came. Yu Min gave each child two yuan, two chestnuts, and let them pick their own peanuts and sunflower seeds.

I was very happy to hear the auspicious words, and saw that the children were all dressed neatly today, as it is the New Year.

After nine o'clock, no children came. Yu Min went to the next door with two bags of brown sugar.

"Doctor Yu, what are you doing with these things?"

"Aunt, this is a little gift from me. Don't refuse it."

After pushing and pulling for a while, Yu Min made an excuse to go home.

She didn't go out at all in the next few days. On the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, she finished carving the wooden plaque. "Auntie, Xiaoyuan is still young. Wait until he grows up and you can give him the plaque."

"Okay, I'll put it away first."

The little guy woke up, but I didn’t feed him. I wanted to take a photo with his eyes open. He will definitely fall asleep after feeding.

While taking pictures, she kept muttering, "My brother is so cute. His eyes are just like my dad's."

Wu Xiaozhen has recovered, but Yu Min still doesn't let her do anything.

"I left when I was sixteen, and from now on I'll have to do it all by myself. Now I'm at home. I'll do everything."

"Xiao Min, don't delay your mission."

"I know. It won't delay."

The Huazhong Women's College starts reporting on the 16th day of the first lunar month and ends on the 20th day of the first lunar month. I can arrive on the 16th, and I am familiar with the local environment, so I need to prepare some things.

When I have nothing to do, I go grind cornmeal. It will be easier for her if I prepare more.

"Xiao Min, I can do it by myself from now on. It's so cold, don't go out."

"It's okay, I'll do more."

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, she prepared Yuanxiao, and the neighbors sent her quite a bit.

Today I took photos of the mother and daughter, and also took photos of the Yuanxiao Festival.

The little guy's eyes are very lively now and look cute.

Xiaoyuan is really well behaved. He seldom cries or makes a fuss. He just hums when he is hungry.

Until now, Yu Min still doesn't dare to hug her, no matter what Wu Xiaozhen says.

We were leaving the next day, and we had already steamed two pots of steamed buns. The meat and other things were also divided into small bowls, so it would be convenient to steam and eat them.

"Auntie, I'll be leaving tomorrow morning. You must be careful. Nothing is more important than Xiao Yuan."

"I know, Xiao Min, is your father in danger?"

"Why do you ask that?"

"Why is there still no news?"

"I don't have any news about him either, but I have a hunch that he is doing well now."

"I wonder when he will be able to come visit us? Xiaomin, do you think I can go find the team?"

Now Yu Min didn’t know what to say. If he went to find the team, he would have to take Xiaoyuan with him. What if such a young child was in danger?

But we can't selfishly ask her to only take care of the children.

"Look what I'm talking about. Xiao Yuan is still so young, I can't bear to take him on any adventure."

"Auntie, if one day you want to leave, be sure to let me know and I'll take Xiao Yuan away to take care of him."

"How do you take care of it?"

"We'll figure it out when the time comes. Auntie, just tie the red cloth at the door, and I'll be back as soon as possible."

"Xiao Min, just go and carry out your mission with peace of mind. I won't give Xiao Yuan to anyone. I'll be free in the spring, and I'll dig a cellar at home. If there's any danger, I'll hide Xiao Yuan there."

"Okay, I remember."

The topic of leaving was too heavy, and both of them fell silent.

The next day after breakfast, Yu Min went next door and told them.

"Don't worry, Doctor Yu. I'll let Xiaoju go over and help with some work."

"Thank you, Auntie." I really couldn't wait any longer. If I couldn't register, it would be over.

I returned home, kissed Xiaoyuan on the face, and took out my camera to take pictures of them.

"Auntie, please take a photo of us two siblings."

I taught Wu Xiaozhen and she took several photos.

It was time to leave. "Auntie, I'm leaving."

"Xiao Min, you must be careful."

"I know. I'll pay attention. Don't come down. You're not out of confinement yet. Xiaoju will help with some work."

"Okay, go ahead and be careful."

Yu Min picked up the suitcase and turned away. If there is a chance to come and see in the future, Wu Xiaozhen's worry is not unnecessary. If there is a cellar at home, it can really be used. I hope nothing will happen.

When she left home and walked outside, children greeted her and she happily responded.

After leaving the village, he quickened his pace, trying to find a place to enter the space.
