A time-travel story of a peasant girl getting rich
Chapter 140: Why are you showing off?
After everyone added to the basin, the basin started to make noises.
The midwife picked up the mallet and stirred the basin while saying, "Stir once, twice, three times, the elder brother leads the younger brother to run..." After stirring, she began to give the baby a bath.
Or they would chant auspicious words while washing, "Wash your hair first, and you will be a prince; wash your shoulders second, and you will be a high official; wash your waist, and each generation will be higher than the previous one; wash your balls, and you will be a county magistrate; wash your guttural area, and you will be a prefecture governor..."; "Wash your hands, and you will have gold, silver and treasures every year"; "Wash your back, and you will be blessed with wealth and honor"; "Wash your buttocks, and you will be strong and healthy"; "Wash your feet, and you will live a long life and grow old with white hair..."
Then she used the prepared blue cloth to dip some tea and wiped the babies' gums and tongues. The two children, with their mouths twisted, naturally refused to respond and cried loudly, "Wa wah..." This is the sound basin. The midwife said auspicious words, and Wang signaled Guan to give him a prepared red envelope.
Then, three moxa balls were lit, three slices of fresh ginger were placed underneath, and they were placed on the baby's forehead for a symbolic moxibustion, which was said to prevent convulsions. Then, moxibustion was applied to the armpits with moxa balls, which was said to eliminate body odor.
Then he picked up a comb and gestured, saying: "Three combs and two combs, he will wear a red hat when he grows up (the court dress of Qing Dynasty officials)". He rolled a peeled egg on the baby's face, saying that he will grow up with delicate skin and tender flesh, and then put some rouge and powder on the baby, saying "drawing eyebrows and beading temples, everything will go smoothly". He pinched the nose with chopsticks, saying that he will grow up with a smooth nose. After washing, he put a sweater made by his grandmother on the baby, saying "wearing grandma's coat, he will be clever and skillful".
After wrapping the baby's quilt, the red leg straps that were used on the door curtain of the new house when the mother got married are used to tie the baby's calves to prevent bow legs; the other strap is used to tie the baby's upper arms to prevent "slipping shoulders"; after tying, the baby is hit three times with green onions, and then thrown onto the roof, which means that the child will grow up to be very smart. Then the weight is picked up and weighed on the baby, saying "the small weight weighs a thousand pounds, and it weighs down the baby's wealth and prosperity."
Then they picked up the "lock" (jewelry) and gestured it on the baby. (It means to lock the child and prevent him from dying young). Then they put the baby on a tea tray, tuck gold and silver ingots or silver coins and jewelry into the baby, and said, "Tuck gold on the left and silver on the right, and you will be a living god of wealth when you grow up." The funniest thing is to throw a few paper pomegranate flowers into the bed and shake it, saying, "The scars and acne are running away happily, and the bed father and mother are by your side."
This means that if you do this, the child will not get smallpox. Finally, the Niangniang Maer, along with the money and food for offering to the gods, was sent to the yard to be burned. The midwife placed the Kang Gong Kang Mu Maer on a copper tea tray and said as she burned it: "Listen carefully, Kang Gong Kang Mu, the children are entrusted to you. Give you more boys and fewer girls. Burn incense and offer gifts next year." After burning, wrap the ashes with red paper and place them under the Kang mat in the delivery room. (Source: Baidu)
In this way, the third day bath officially ended and the midwife began to pack up.
After Xiaomi went through all the red tape of feudal superstition, he started to invite everyone out for a banquet.
The delivery room was bloody and no men were allowed to enter, including his biological father Lin Dashan.
So, after the third day of the bath, the midwife took the baby and showed it to the relatives in the main hall. She was dumbfounded for a moment because there were two babies. Old Mrs. Li stepped forward, saying that she was the grandmother and it was her turn to take the baby out. But a pair of old hands were quicker than hers and took the baby in the swaddle.
Old Li paused as she was about to reach out her hand, her face turning green and red. Is this old Wang crazy? Who is she from the Lin family? How dare she hug the grandson of the Lin family?
The others looked at each other and said nothing. It was someone else's family affair, and they had no right to interfere.
Old Wang did it on purpose. This old woman had been torturing her daughter for more than ten years. Just because she didn't have money to buy a dowry, she wouldn't let her daughter go home for the New Year or other festivals. Don't think she doesn't know how much she looked down upon her because she didn't have a son.
Want to hug her eldest grandson now? Dream on!
Holding the child in her arms, Old Wang followed the midwife and walked into the main room in a heroic and confident manner. When the men who were talking saw the child coming, they stopped talking and looked at the baby curiously.
They have seen many babies, but it is rare to see two babies in one birth.
Lin Mutu saw that it was his mother-in-law holding the child and his old wife following behind with a dark and aggrieved look on her face, and he immediately became unhappy.
What is the Wang family doing? Do they know whose land she is standing on? Is there a relative of hers sitting here? Why is she showing off by holding the book name child?
"The baby is here, the baby is here! Look, old man, how handsome he is!"
The midwife handed the child to Lin Mutu, who was sitting at the upper seat, and an old lady named Wang handed the child to Lin Mujin, who was sitting next to him.
Lin Mujin looked at Old Wang and sighed in his heart, "Ah, Dashan is a kid whose heart is biased towards the Yue family!"
The two old men looked at the sleeping baby in their arms and said, "What a good-looking baby! With thick eyebrows and big eyes, and long black hair, he is so strong!"
"Indeed, this child looks like the mountain." Others stood up and came forward to see the child's appearance.
Lin Xiaomi's heart skipped a beat. She looked at her father and worried about her brother's future appearance. If she worked hard to make money, she should be able to find a beautiful wife to change her genes.
