 Ruan Tang recovered very quickly after giving birth. He only lay down for half a day and was able to get out of bed and walk around that night. Because she planned to do the three baptisms for her daughter in the new house, the Ruan Hall recovered a lot the next day, and the family prepared to move into the new house.

The new house was not far away, and it took less than ten minutes to walk, but Tu Lin was afraid that Ruan Tang would have to work hard, so he let him sit on the mule cart. The new house has been furnished in advance, and you can live in it directly. Tu Lin also moved in the things that are needed in the old house in advance, so you don't need to pack anything.

Going east after leaving the house, we soon arrived at the charcoal workshop, and the original wasteland next to the workshop has now been surrounded by a long, seemingly endless stone wall. Walking through the wall, you can still hear the sound of pigs and sheep coming from inside.

Although Tu Lin and the others did not live in the new house for the time being after it was built, they did not leave the house empty. Yuan Rui has no relatives, and all the property in the family was sold after the death of his mother to pay off the debts. It can be said that he is alone with no worries and cares, and only wants to repay Tu Lin.

Tu Lin saw that he was very persistent and had nowhere to go, so he left him at home. It happened that manpower was needed to raise pigs and sheep, and Yuan Rui was considered safe and careful, so he handed over the matter to him. And Liu Bao and Wang Fu had already moved the soap-making utensils into the Kuayuan next to the yard and started making soap there.

At the beginning, Tu Lin wanted them to live in the new house directly, but Tu Lin and Ruan Tang, as the masters, hadn't moved in yet, so Liu Bao and Wang Fu dared to live in it first. The same was true for Yuan Rui, and he said that Ruan Tang's delivery was imminent, and it would be good for him to stay and run errands for the helpers, so he finally lived in the vacated woodshed with Liu Bao and Wang Fu.

Seeing that they were so persistent, Tu Lin thought that Ruan Tang would indeed have a lot of things to do when he gave birth. It's just that the firewood room is simple, so I prepared some extra bedding for them.

The mule cart headed east, passing through a wall that was tens of meters long, before finally seeing the gate of the house. At this moment, the gate was open, and Liu Bao and Wang Fu had already placed the wooden planks on the steps, so that the mule cart could enter the house directly.

But at the door, Ruan Tang still got out of the car and wanted to walk in. It was not too far from the gate to the backyard where they lived, and the mule cart could pass through the gate but not the second gate, and they still had to get out of the cart when they got inside, so Tu Lin helped Ruan Tang get out of the cart.

Although the Tu family's new house was built in the countryside, Tu Lin took the sketch drawn by Ruan Tang to look at it from someone who knew the house, and got a lot of useful suggestions. It's not as simple and crude as a country house.

There are three steps to the gate, and there are two knee-high stone drums on both sides of the gate. After entering the gate, there is a screen wall, and the front yard can be seen after bypassing the screen wall. The layout of the front yard is the same as that of ordinary houses, with three main rooms, two side rooms on the left and right, and two inverted rooms on both sides of the gate.

In addition, there are small doors on both sides of the main room and beside the east and west wing rooms. The small door next to the main building naturally leads to the backyard, the small door next to the west wing leads to the front courtyard where soap is made, and the small door of the east wing leads to the pond garden.

Ruan Tang had just recovered, so he didn't want to move around much, so he didn't look around, and went directly into the backyard through the small door next to the main house. The layout of the back yard is similar to that of the front yard, except that there are two small side rooms on the left and right of the main room, and these side rooms are the wash rooms specially designed by Ruan Tang.

The ear chamber looks nothing special on the outside, but inside it has multiple functions such as washing, bathing, and convenience, but it took a lot of thought from Tu Lin and Ruan Tang, and it really cost a lot of money, but fortunately The result is satisfactory.

They set up a waterwheel by the side of the pond, and then connected it with several bamboo poles, so that the water can be introduced into the ear chamber. The used sewage is discharged through ceramic pipes buried in the ground. Of course, the sewage can't be discharged casually. Just in order to deal with the feces produced by the pigs, Tu Lin dug a composting pond in a corner of the large open space on the west side of the house, and discharged the sewage into it.

However, it is not easy to build this washroom, except that there is one on the left and right of the main house where Tu Lin's family lives, there is only one public washroom in the rest of the yard.

Compared with the old house, the new house is different in that the area of ​​the house is much larger. Although the main house has three rooms, the east and west rooms can be divided into two small rooms, so that sitting and sleeping can be separated, which is much more convenient .

Now there are a lot of people in the family, but fortunately, there are dozens of rooms in the front and back plus two cross-courtyards, even if the number of people is doubled, it is enough to live in.

Liu Bao and Wang Fu were in charge of making soap, and they lived in the front yard where the soap shop was located. Yuan Rui is now considered a guest of the Tu family, so he lives in the wing room in the front yard. Naturally, Tu Lin's family lived in the backyard, and it was still the same as before. Tu Lin and Ruan Tang lived in the east room, and Tu An lived in the west room. For the convenience of feeding the baby, the wet nurse Qi also lived in the backyard and arranged it in the East Wing. The back yard is where the kitchen and warehouse are located, so it is temporarily vacant.

The day after moving into the new house is the day of washing three. The third cleaning needs to be presided over by a special admission grandma, and this admission grandma is actually Wen Po, who is also in charge of midwifery, so Tu Lin invited Mrs. Song, who was accepted by Ruan Tang, to come. As for the guests, they didn't invite too many, only Tu Xinmei's family.

Tu Lin is not a difficult host, and he is generous, Mrs. Song is naturally very happy, and she is also extremely attentive when hosting, and she conducts the three baptisms very beautifully, and in the end, naturally, she reaps a lot of joy and joy Come, and go away happily.

Because Tu Xinmei said that since her daughter was born, it is not easy to meet too many strangers, and it is easy to run into each other, so it is very simple for Tu Lin to do the three baptisms, but it is not necessary for the full moon ceremony, so it can be more lively. So Tu Lin began to send wedding eggs to the people he knew well one by one. In addition to some good friends in Zhuxi Village, such as Sun Jinlai, the village head, Qiu Cheng and Li Li, friends of Ruan Tang, Zhou Yan and Bai Guanjia from the county town , as well as chief escort Qin and Huang Yuan of Weiyuan Escort Bureau, none of them were left behind.

Of course, Tu Lin didn't forget that there was a Li family in Lijiagou who was eyeing him, so after Ruan Tang gave birth, he had to let Yuan Rui, Liu Bao, and Wang Fu perform physical training according to his requirements every day. In addition to fighting training, he would lead Lang Da and Lang Er to patrol around the house sooner or later.

It was just beyond his expectation that since Tu Wenqiang came to the house that day, nothing happened at home. It has been peaceful all the time. Mrs. Li has never appeared, and even Tu Wenqiang never came to inform him again. What. But Tu Lin didn't settle down. Instead, he felt a strange calm before the storm. This situation lasted until his daughter's full moon ceremony.

Tu Lin originally planned to hold the Full Moon Ceremony at home, but Tu Xinmei said that at home, he had to go to the village to borrow tables, chairs, benches, cups, dishes, chopsticks, etc., which was very troublesome, so it would be much more convenient to do it in Shilixiangli. But Tu Lin didn't want to delay the business of Tu Xinmei Restaurant, his left and right families had a big enough place and enough staff, so he didn't change his mind.

Seeing Tu Lin's insistence, Tu Xinmei didn't say anything, but she still sent one of Shi Lixiang's cooks to help Tu Lin. The cook in the restaurant is not bad, so Tu Lin simply let him take charge of the spoon, Liu Bao and Wang Fu helped, and Yuan Rui helped Tu Lin entertain guests in the front yard, making tea and pouring water and so on.

Tu Xinmei also came with sisters Zhuang Zhuang and Zhao Xiuxiu in her arms, helping Tu Lin and Ruan Tang entertain the female guests and children, and Zhao Changping was not left behind. There was a reassuring shopkeeper watching from Shili Xiangli, and they only left for a few hours, but there was nothing wrong with them.

Ruan Tang is a lot easier. Tu Lin has already arranged everything that needs to be arranged, and with the help of Tu Xinmei, he doesn't have to worry about anything, he just takes care of the child with the wet nurse.

One month has passed, and now not only Ruan Tang has fully recovered, but also her daughter Qiuqiu, as Ruan Tang said before, her skin has already receded from the abnormal redness when she was born, and has become very fair, even more delicate and almost breakable. In general, with those round, black and bright eyes that are extremely energetic, and the small red mouth that looks like rouge, she is just like a little beauty, and the guests who came to the full moon ceremony are full of praise .

Although they knew that these compliments were meant to be polite, Tu Lin and Ruan Tang were still very happy to hear them, and their faces were even more honored. Everyone made fun of him.

While talking and joking, Yuan Rui came into the room and said to Tu Lin: "Uncle Tu,...someone is coming outside..."

Tu Lin saw that Yuan Rui's expression and tone were not right, so he knew that the people outside were not ordinary He didn't show his face to the guests, he got up and smiled at Zhou Yan and Chief Qin's escort as usual: "You guys sit here for a while, I'll come as soon as I go." "

Brother Tu, please come." Zhou Yan said with a smile.

Tu Lin nodded slightly, and followed Yuan Rui out without saying anything more. When he got out of the main room, he saw a few people standing by the screen wall looking in, and understood the reason for Yuan Rui's tone just now, because those people were none other than Tu Fu, Li Shi, and Tu Wenqiang The whole family, including Tu Yu, is quite complete.

Now that Yuan Rui was left behind, Tu Lin told him all the old grudges between himself and the Li family, as well as Liu Bao and Wang Fu, so that they could take precautions. Although Yuan Rui didn't know Father Tu and Li Shi, he would know when Father Tu reported his identity. Just because of what Tu Lin had said to him, even if he knew that these two were Tu Lin's biological father and stepmother, he didn't dare to let people in, but went to inform Tu Lin first.

Seeing Father Tu and Shi Li, Tu Lin felt as though the wait had finally come. He knew that Mrs. Li would not give up with him, but after a month, Mrs. Li remained on hold, so he could only wait. But now, on the day when his daughter was full moon, Mrs. Li suddenly came to the door, and Tu Lin understood that Mrs. Li had finally taken action.

Tu Lin saw Tu Fu and the others, and Tu Fu and others naturally also saw Tu Lin. Before Tu Lin could speak, Tu Fu walked towards Tu Lin. Li Shi followed behind him, holding a wooden The old, lifeless face full of wrinkles and ravines stared at Tu Lin suspiciously. Tu Wenqiang's family fell at the end, looking at Tu Lin with a little helplessness and apology.

"You child, why didn't you tell your father about such a big event as your wife giving birth?" Father Tu blamed Tu Lin when he came up, but his tone was not very serious. The naughty child wanted to teach him a lesson, but he really couldn't get angry, so he looked helpless.

Tu Lin couldn't help smiling, just as he was about to say something, Father Tu spoke up before him, showing a bit of sincere anticipation, and said: "Where is my granddaughter, let me see Look at my good granddaughter." After finishing speaking, without waiting for Tu Lin's response, he walked around Tu Lin and went into the main room.

Tu Lin couldn't help but find it funny. Was he afraid that he would keep them out, but he didn't say anything. There are many guests here today, and he doesn't want to cause any trouble, otherwise it will be a small shame and ruin his daughter's full moon ceremony.

Mrs. Li also went in with Tu Lin, while Tu Wenqiang walked up to Tu Lin, and said softly, "Brother, I didn't tell my parents about this, and I don't know how they know about it. I suddenly said that I would come to your house in the morning, and I didn't have time..."

Tu Lin patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "It's okay, let's go in." What's more, the people in Lijiagou are very concerned about him, so it's not surprising that Li knows that Ruan Tang gave birth to a daughter.

Only then did Tu Wenqiang relax, and nodded gratefully to Tu Lin before entering the room.

Although he didn't like Tu Fu and the others, they were guests, and Tu Fu and the others didn't do anything, so Tu Lin asked Yuan Rui to serve them tea, and then said, "Go to the backyard and tell Uncle Ruan."

Father Tu wanted to see his granddaughter, so let him see it, and it happened that he could receive an extra gift. As for Mrs. Li, this was in his home, and there were so many people around, so he was not afraid of what she would do.
