The next day, Aunt Zhao and Erniu were left at home to take care of Guoguo, while everyone else went up the mountain with their backpacks.
The production of peach blossom wine is simple. Pick the peach blossoms, wash and dry them, and then soak them in rice wine.
Because he promised Wu Maoqian to give him a few jars, Zhang Wuliang thought about making more and giving some to each family.
"It's just that there are not enough jars at home." Zhang Wuliang found this problem when he thought about things in the morning.
"Not only are there not enough jars," Chen Xiaonian said, "there's no wine at home."
"There's not enough sugar either," Zhang Wuliang added. He didn't think about it when he was thinking about it, but when he was about to start, Zhang Wuliang realized that they were not only missing peach blossoms: "We can only go to town to buy them. You go pick flowers in the morning, and I'll go to town to buy these."
Wu Maoqian, who was squatting next to him, raised his head: "You're going to town, why should I stay? Let's go together, so I don't have to go alone in the afternoon."
Zhang Wuliang thought about it and it made sense: "Okay, then you go to town with me."
"Okay," Wu Maoqian stood up and went to pack up.
"Xiaonian, the flower picking is up to you," Zhang Wuliang looked at Chen Xiaonian and said, "Take Erniu with you."
"But what about Guoguo?" Chen Xiaonian was really worried.
"Guoguo has a mother, so you don't have to pick too many. You two will be back soon."
After Guoguo was born, Chen Xiaonian spent almost all his time on him. She has never even left the hospital, which is what Zhang Wuliang doesn't want. He hopes Chen Xiaonian can have his own space.
"But Guoguo is still young," Chen Xiaonian said worriedly, "Mom can't take care of her alone."
A baby that small spends most of the time in the cradle and can't walk by himself, it's impossible for Aunt Zhao not to take care of him in the morning. What's more, there is Chutou at home to help.
Chen Xiaonian is just too worried, but he doesn't realize it.
But since giving birth to Guoguo, Chen Xiaonian's sleep has become shallower and shallower, and he wakes up several times a night. If this continues, Zhang Wuliang is afraid that he will suffer from neurasthenia, and he must find something to divert his attention.
Thinking of this, Zhang Wuliang looked embarrassed: "If you don't want to go, you can only wait for me to come back. But I have to go to my father-in-law's house tomorrow. If I stay there for a day, I can only go the day after tomorrow. I hope the peach blossoms will not fade by then, otherwise I can only wait until next year."
Tomorrow is Guoguo's 100th day. According to custom, they have to take Guoguo to her grandfather and mother's house. This is Guoguo's first time to her mother's house, so she must go, and who knows if she will stay there for a few days.
Chen Xiaonian looked at the disappointment on Zhang Wuliang's face that was difficult to conceal, and his heart was full of entanglement. Finally, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Let's go today. I will take Erniu to the mountain later."
"Really? That's great..." Zhang Wuliang said in surprise.
Chen Xiaonian looked at the joy on his face and suddenly felt that leaving Guoguo for a while was not so unbearable for him.
Chen Xiaonian's mood improved: "Then let's prepare now. By the way, there is still some cold noodles made yesterday. I will bake some now and take them to Xiuzhi's house."
