Chapter 71 Little Hawthorn

Fang Shujing looked at his wife and children from the side, and soon heard hurried footsteps. Little Hawthorn just closed his eyes and seemed to be awakened. His facial features wrinkled up as if he wanted to cry. Fang Shujing quickly picked up Little Hawthorn. The little guy opened his eyes and looked at him, and then he stopped crying. .

Outside, Mrs. Fang suppressed her anger and said, "Jing'er."

Fang Shujing held the child in one hand and opened the door with the other.

As soon as Mrs. Fang came in, she saw her little grandson and burst into tears: "What kind of evil is this?"

Fang Shujing interrupted from the side: "Mom, look at the child and his eyes will open. "

Ms. Fang came over to take a look. Her little grandson looked over confusedly. He looked pretty good. She was very happy today. When she heard that her neighbor Liu Yechen had given birth, her heart skipped a beat. Premature babies are not easy to live. She liked it very much. Liu Yechen, but now she felt a little bit resentful towards him. She was pregnant and a doctor, so how could she be so sad and happy? The child couldn't bear the sudden and violent mood swings. Seeing how thin the grandson looked, he didn't know if he could keep him.

It would be great if I gave birth to a fat boy at full term and looked so good-looking!

Fang Shujing said: "Our little hawthorn is very beautiful, isn't it?" The facial features are not wrinkled, but very clean, with a rosy little face and big eyes.

Fang said, "Where's Liu'er?"

Fang Shujing whispered, "Go to sleep."

Fang didn't dare to take it and hold her because the child was too young, so she said, "I have to get some milk for her. It'll save her money. " The child is hungry. "The child was born early, and he was not prepared for many things. He has no milk, so the child must make some rice cereal or hire a wet nurse. "Your sister-in-law has plenty of milk. Ask her to bring a bowl!"

"Oh, thank you, mother..." Fang Shujing didn't look at Reading, but he still knew nothing about taking care of children. He forgot about such a big thing as the children drinking milk. .

Mrs. Fang wanted to cry again: "My poor grandson..." She felt unhappy and held back tears.

"Mom, don't cry. The birth of a child is a good thing." Fang Shujing could only comfort her.

Mrs. Fang wiped her tears and gave Fang Shujing a pestle. This was the first time she had dealt with her youngest son. He said: "It's your fault for this. The little hawthorn is called a good thing. I felt something was wrong at that time. Hawthorn is a miscarriage..." Many twists and turns arose.

Fang Shujing was surprised. He was just shouting for fun and thought it sounded good. But Fang blamed him and accepted it, it was better than blaming Liu Yechen!

"Good things come hard." Fang Shujing could only say this.

Mrs. Fang went back to get milk for her grandson.

As soon as Mr. Fang left, the child looked at Fang Shujing, but after a while his facial features wrinkled up. He was fine just now, but now due to the strong effects of the small pills he had taken, the little boy cried: "Wow... Wow..." His voice wasn't too loud, but his face was red from crying, which was heartbreaking to see.

Fang Shujing hugged the child and said, "Little Haw, you have to be stronger." Fang Shujing felt very distressed when he said this. He hugged the child, put the child close to his chest, and just fed the child a small pill. , has the effect of strengthening the body, but it will be difficult to bear. This is a life-saving medicine. Such a small child died almost too high. The child was only four pounds and had thin arms and legs. Otherwise, he would not be willing to let the child eat this. It's hard, but he must get through it.

Listening to the child's crying voice, he wished that he could help the child endure the suffering.

The child cried for a full quarter of an hour. He pouted his mouth when he was tired of crying, and there were tears in his eyes.

Fang Shujing knew that most of the children would survive, and their muscles and bones would become stronger from now on.

He couldn't help but kissed the child and said: "You're so good, little Hawthorn is the strongest."

Little Hawthorn blinked his eyes and tears fell down: "Ouch." The little guy snorted.

After a while, Liu Yechen woke up: "Ms. sir..." His voice was weak!

Fang Shujing quickly carried the child to the back of the screen and said, "Daughter-in-law, look at our little hawthorn."

This was the first time for Liu Yechen to see such a little baby. He cried immediately and felt very guilty: " I'm sorry..."

Fang Shujing wiped his tears with a handkerchief: "You can't cry during the confinement period. It seems that our little Hawthorn must miss you and want to come out to see you as soon as possible."

Liu Yechen hugged the little Hawthorn. Hawthorn also looked over, wondering if he could feel the familiar scent, and he even hummed twice, which sounded milky.

Fang Shujing said: "Look, the child is coaxing you. If the child cries again, he will laugh at you."

Liu Yechen quickly wiped his eyes and looked at the child, feeling a little uneasy: "Mr. sir, does anyone else know?"

Fang Shujing said: "Mom has been here and said that she wanted to get some milk for the baby."

Liu Yechen was a little panicked. After a while, he looked over and said, "Did mom say something?"

Fang Shujing said: "Mother said, let me I will take good care of you and the baby."

After a while, Xu Quan came over with a bowl of milk and said, "The young master is born, let me see." He was very excited.

Liu Yechen said nervously,

"Where's mother?"

Xu Quan said, "Madam said she couldn't come over because she had something to do."

After hearing this, Liu Yechen relaxed a little. I'm quite afraid to face my mother-in-law if something like this happens. I used a small spoon to get some milk and wanted to give it to the baby. Who knew that the little cub would be picky about food and turned his head when he smelled the milk. Putting the spoon to his mouth he turned his head again.

Cute is quite cute.

But Liu Yechen had tears in his eyes again, he wanted to cry so much. The child was already smaller and refused to drink milk, so what should I do...

When Fang Shujing saw that Zaizai refused to drink, he suddenly realized that the Lingquan pill he had given him was the cause of the problem. He was so concerned that he was confused, and he actually forgot that what the baby gave him in the first bite was so important. When he saw Liu Yechen holding the baby, his eyes were red again, and he said to Xu Quan: "Go and make some rice cereal."

He now said to his wife and son She never leaves, and I'm really afraid that if I leave for just a moment, my wife won't be able to think about it.

Xu Quan also knew that it was not a big deal for the young master not to breastfeed, so he quickly said: "Master, don't worry, I'll go now."

After a while, the rice cereal came, and after letting it cool, he fed the child a mouthful. Then he drank it...

and he seemed very satisfied with it. When the second spoonful didn't come, he opened his mouth and waited, feeding half a bowl.

Seeing that he liked the taste of rice cereal, everyone felt relieved and started eating no matter what.

The kid was a little sleepy after eating. He closed his eyes and acted obediently. Fang Shujing was a novice father and saw everything new. After wiping the child's mouth, Fang Shujing handed it over to his wife.

Liu Yechen was just like Fang Shujing at the beginning, holding the child motionless, for fear that if he moved, he would make the child uncomfortable. My whole body was very stiff.

Fang Shujing said: "You also lie down for a while." He

was supported by the two of them and fell asleep. Liu Yechen was also a little sleepy. After a while, one big boy and one big boy started breathing evenly. Fang Shujing went out and made a simple bowl of noodles. After taking a bite, he called his wife to stop and eat something. He moved a stool to the side and watched the two of them. When Liu Yechen woke up at night and saw the little boy in his arms, the first thing he did was to put his hand in front of the child and sniff. He was relieved when he saw Little Hawthorn breathing, and then he turned around and noticed Fang Shujing.

Fang Shujing said: "It's okay, the child is sleeping soundly."

Liu Yechen shook his head: "I'll guard the child." He felt a little sorry for Fang Shujing and said, "Go and rest for a while." He hadn't blinked until now.

Fang Shujing said: "I'm not sleepy." Then he held his wife in his arms and said, "When the child grows up, let's go to the provincial capital together to find your master. By the way, we will take our little hawthorn with us and let him see it." His little disciple.

Liu Yechen was still a little confused: "Master, why don't you come to me. " "

Master must have something unfinished. He will come back to you when it is done. Master saw our little hawthorn, and he might come back with you when he is happy." When the time comes, we will provide money for Master to open a medical clinic, and when the little hawthorn grows up, let him be a medicine boy. OK? "Fang Shujing's voice was very gentle.

Liu Yechen said: "Then parents are willing? "Studying medicine is not as promising as studying.

Fang Shujing said: "I am definitely willing...My mother even urged me to marry you into my family as soon as possible, for fear that you would be married off by someone else. "

Liu Yechen leaned in his arms: "I won't. "The only one in his life who had ever been attracted to Fang Shujing was Fang Shujing.

Fang Shujing kissed him.

The two talked about the past, and they were in a calm mood, not as nervous as before. The child woke up again in the middle of the night, Groaning, Fang Shujing fed him a bowl of rice cereal, and the little guy fell asleep again.

In the middle of the night, Liu Yechen was so sleepy that he still refused to sleep. He was afraid that the child would be overpowered if he slept. Crying in the middle of the night and not daring to sleep too hard,

Fang Shujing said: "Then let's lie down together and put the child in the bed. "Liu Yechen was next to his son. No matter how he tried to persuade him, he just wouldn't sleep and looked at the child all night.

The little hawthorn actually slept well. When he opened his eyes the next day, Liu Yechen changed his diapers twice. The little kid is small, but very energetic, and his eyes are wandering. He looks like a smart little guy.

He slept for two hours last night, and today he picked up the kid and said, "You." Go to sleep. "

Liu Yechen couldn't bear it any longer. He hit his head on the pillow and fell asleep. Fang Shujing said to the little hawthorn: "Little hawthorn, please grow up quickly. "He can't wait to see Hawthorn grow up.

Liu Yechen didn't wake up until night. The little guy's energy is quite good, and he can kick his legs today, but the novelty is ruined by the two newbie fathers. , said: "Hawthorn, push one more..."

The little guy had a lot of fun playing with his two parents. The

little guy loves to laugh. He hums a few times when changing diapers and pouts when he wants to eat. He still likes it normally. After getting to know each other

for more than a day, there was no difficulty in communicating with such a little guy.

That night, Fang knocked on the door and came in, taking out a small quilt made of pieces of rags and saying: " This is called Baijia Quilt, which is a small quilt made of cloth from a hundred families. With the blessings of so many people, the child will definitely grow strong. "

Liu Yechen is fine today, but tears welled up again when she heard Fang's words: "Thank you, mother..."

Fang said: "I haven't let anyone from the village come to see you these days, for fear of scaring the children. When I got up early, I asked your father to go to the temple and donate twenty kilograms of sesame oil to the little hawthorn. I also asked for a small red string that had been illuminated for you to tie on the child. "

There is an extra red string on the little guy's wrist. This is the love of his grandparents, because the little Hawthorn couple didn't sleep all night last night. Now they feel at ease when they ask for something.

Seeing Liu Yechen crying again, Fang said: "Jing'er feels distressed when you cry. You and Jing'er are both blessed children. Little Hawthorn will be fine. He has bones and doesn't have to worry about gaining weight. It will be fine if the child becomes fat." "

Liu Yechen said: "It's all my fault..."

He has always had low self-esteem. He has had no parents since he was a child, and the only master he relied on disappeared. Fortunately, his in-laws and husband-in-law were good to him, but his children also suffered. , I can't even think about this. I feel like I can't stop crying.

Fang Shujing said, "It's not your fault..."

Fang hugged him and said, "Good boy, don't cry." Crying in the child will make you sick. I really don't blame you for this, it's all Jing'er's fault..."

Fang said: "Let me look at the little hawthorn. "

Liu Yechen quickly brought the little Hawthorn over for her to see. The little Hawthorn loves to laugh and smiles when he is picked up. His round eyes make him lovable.

Fang said: "This child is really rare.

Fang Shujing said: "Our little hawthorn is very easy to take care of. We don't cry at night and can sleep until dawn. " "I heard that other people's children have to get up several times at night.

Fang said: "I heard Xu Quan said that he doesn't drink milk, but only eats rice cereal? "

"Um. Fang Shujing felt guilty when he mentioned this matter. If he hadn't given the child a small pill when he was born, the child would not have stopped drinking milk.

Fang said: "Tomorrow I will buy some refined grains from the village chief. I will go back later." Grind into rice flour. "That is, only the rich children in the county get this treatment. Rice is a luxury in the village, and grinding flour will cause a lot of damage, and most people are reluctant to part with it.

"Ah. "Little Hawthorn said.

Fang Shujing laughed: "The child agreed. "

Ms. Fang saw that the little hawthorn was quite lively, and the red color had faded a bit. The white and pure baby looked even cuter. The boy followed Liu Yechen, and his features were so handsome.

She is a grandmother. I love it just by looking at it.

"It's a little gadget, and it's strange that it can be eaten. " Fang Shujing sighed with emotion. When she saw the little hawthorn in her youngest son's house, she couldn't help the tenderness in her heart. This little thing is so cute.

It's so small, it's really a little treasure that you want to hold in your heart.

Mrs. Fang played with her little grandson for a while, still thinking about grinding rice flour for him. Then she went back

. The little hawthorn got a cute little hand rope and a Baijia quilt. Liu Yechen

likes to play with the child

: "The child is sleepy. "

Fang Shujing took a look, and sure enough, their little Hawthorn was in a daze. He put him on his little pillow, closed his eyes and fell asleep quickly.

Looking at this little thing, the two novice fathers only felt soft in their hearts. He has gained a lot.

...

The little hawthorn is full moon soon. He eats and sleeps every day, which makes him weigh a full fourteen pounds. Now his favorite game is to play in the lap of his father's clothes. The head was exposed.

During the day, Fang Shujing let him sit close to his father's body, holding the little hawthorn's feet with one hand

, which looked very interesting.

Looking down at his youngest son, all of his attention was attracted by a rattle. He looked at him with bright black round eyes and said, "Little Haw, you are older now. , I can no longer get into Daddy's clothes. It weighs more than ten kilograms, and it is very tiring to hold it up.

"Ah..." The baby refused.

When Fang Shujing invented this game, he never expected that his son would become addicted to playing it. Now he can't get out of his clothes. As a result, he can't get out of the house every day. Being tied up by this little ancestor, it seems like he has done enough. Thirty days of confinement seems to be enough.

It's getting a bit hot in July, and it's quite uncomfortable to have the baby pressed against me. But he pretended to cry when the baby was brought out, and he didn't know where the baby, who was only one month old, came from so much care.

Fang Shujing still took the baby out. Today, the little hawthorn is one month old and can be taken out to play.

Liu Yechen has lost some weight this month, thanks to his son coaxing him every day. Otherwise, it would be easier to think too much. It would be better for Little Hawthorn to be like Liu Yechen. As long as the little guy is in his arms, he will laugh for a while and want to kiss for a while, and he will act like a baby. Fang Shujing had to do all the tiring work at home, such as holding a baby for a day.

However, Fang Shujing felt very happy holding her baby in her arms.

Every day is not enough. Ever since I had a baby, I have to wake up several times in the middle of the night to check if the baby has kicked the quilt again. Do you want to drink rice cereal?

This child loves to drink rice cereal. His grandmother is a doting fanatic. She grinds half of the best rice in the village and grinds the remaining rice core into powder for the child to drink. The most important thing is to raise people. Now the fat boy is so heavy that he still looks like he was born with thin arms and legs.

The child was given a new set of clothes. I took the baby and went to play with grandma and little brother.

He walked towards the old house, and many people saw the children of Fang Shujing's family for the first time. Everyone knows that Liu Yechen gave birth to a child prematurely. But no one dared to visit.

"Oh, this fat boy is so rare."

"Both dads are handsome and the kid is pretty too."

"Look, he's still smiling happily." When everyone saw it for the first time, it didn't look like that. The midwife Wen looked quite strong like that.

In the past, little Hawthorn could only see his two fathers and Ah Huang at home. It was the first time he saw so many people. The little guy was so proud that he didn't cry at all. He looked at everyone curiously and tilted his head from time to time. But these folks are so rare. This little guy has fair skin and looks adorable.

Liu Yechen was also very happy to see that everyone liked their son. After a while, Mrs. Fang heard the message and came out and said, "I'm still waiting at home, and you guys haven't come yet."

The neighbors laughed. : "This child is so good-looking, and the advantages of both of them are not wasted at all." When they saw such a beautiful child, they couldn't wait to touch it and hug it.

But this little kid is not afraid of people, but he doesn't like to be touched. I don't know who just stretched out his hand. The child shrank in fright, and everyone smiled again when they saw the child's cute appearance.

Mrs. Fang usually liked Fang Shujing the most, but when she saw her grandson, her favorite son had to lean over and said, "Grandma's little hawthorn is here." He stretched out his hand to hug her. Mrs. Fang has a lot of things to do now. She can't live without her. She also has a grandson who is more than one month old at home. She doesn't come to see little Hawthorn often, but little Hawthorn is smart. Not only does he let her hug him, he also hums twice, as if to say hello.

Seeing such a cute baby, Mrs. Fang's heart melted. She hugged her and walked home. The neighbors around her were not interested enough. Look at the child's big, bright eyes, and there is always a smile on his mouth.

"If you are good-looking, you should have more children."

"I look at other people's children so much that I wish I could take them back and raise them myself."

"What a beautiful child. The old Fang family is really lucky. Each of their two grandchildren is more handsome than the other. " "God has chosen the best ones and given them to me."

"Hey, does the feng shui of the ancestral graves be good? I'll have to find a feng shui master to see if I can have such a good-looking child.

" "For this thing, you first have to find a good-looking husband..."

Everyone joked around. After they returned to Fang's house, they saw the sister-in-law's child named Dongdong. Dongdong is also good-looking, with thick hair. He is a chubby young man. Their little hawthorn is not much smaller than Dongdong. It was the first time for the two children to see each other, and they were both stunned. Putting the two treasures together, they started talking in words that adults couldn't understand.

Mrs. Fang looked surprised, these were all children from their family, touching the big ones and the small ones.

Just looking at it makes me happy.

Fang Shujing said to Fang, "Mom, in a few days, we will go on a long trip."

After hearing this, Fang was stunned. There have been too many things recently, and she has long forgotten that Fang Shujing stayed at home for a short time. . Mrs. Fang said: "You can go as long as you want. The child and Liu'er have to stay." Why would such a young child go out? Besides, she is not caring enough about being a grandmother. She is the first to be reluctant to leave and become an old man.

Fang Shujing said: "I went to take the exam, and they stayed with me for a long time." In fact, it had been discussed with Liu Yechen a long time ago. This time I went to the provincial capital to stay there for a while and help Liu Yechen find his master. I thought that since the old man was hiding from them, it might not be easy to find him. He went there to stay for a while. Mrs. Fang was still reluctant to part with her, so Fang Shujing advised her: "If you go to higher ground, if I can take root in the provincial capital, I will be able to get to know my brother and sister-in-law there in the future. By the way, I can see if there is any business that I can do there."

People cannot just guard this three-thirds of an acre of land.

Mrs. Fang originally liked Little Haw, but when she heard that the three of them planned to go to the provincial capital and not come back. One hundred people were unhappy and said: "Your grain crops are so good this year, how can you ignore it?"

Fang Shujing said: "Xu Quan stays." I had asked Xu Quan before, and since he returned Once in the village, I feel like a fish in water. I really like being here. With him here, I can take care of all the big and small things at home. If Liu Yechen's master comes back, he can contact them in time.
