Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 374
"It's okay. At the beginning, I earned a few hundred yuan a day, which was not enough to spend. But gradually I accumulated some regular customers, and the business has almost stabilized. I can earn 30 to [-] taels a month. Money." There were no outsiders in the room, so Lin Xiaoqiao's aunt replied truthfully.

Mrs. Sun didn't know much about this business. She had heard from her eldest daughter that when they opened the shop, they made a few hundred taels a month. Now she heard from her younger daughter that they earned two to thirty taels a month When I was young, I subconsciously thought that I didn’t earn much money, so I said, “Your shop is not big, and it’s not bad to have so much income. At least it’s no problem to support your family. Do business slowly. Come on, maybe we can open a bigger shop in the future, and earn a little more at that time."

Mrs. Li had opened a shop before, and often listened to Lin Xiaoqiao talking about some business experience, but she understood a little better, so she also said with a smile: "Opening a shop is like this. It's not easy at the beginning, but after accumulating a certain amount of regular customers, you will be able to do well." gone."

Lin Xiaoqiao's aunt also understands this, and she doesn't mind that she earns less. Compared with farming, the income from doing business is much more, and although she is a bit busy looking after the shop every day, it is not as good as Farming is hard work.

So, she said with a smile: "I know all these reasons, and it's pretty good to earn so much."

"Mother, why don't our family also come to the town to open a shop or something." Wu Qiaoer sat aside and listened for so long, then said with a smile.

Mrs. Sun disagreed: "Who in our family has the brains for doing business? Although your man can read a few words, but he is thin-skinned, so there is no way to do business. We are still honest, farming in the countryside , stronger than anything."

Wu Qiaoer wanted to say something else, but at this time Angle had already woken up and started crying.

"What's the matter? What's the matter? Why is my brother An crying?" Lin Xiaoqiao walked in from the outside in a hurry.

After greeting Sun and the others one by one, he sat by the bed and looked at An Ge'er with concern.

Mrs. Sun is an experienced person, so she hugged An Ge'er immediately and coaxed her, but it was useless after a few times, so she stretched out her hand to touch the inside of the blanket, and immediately laughed: "My big grandson pissed on the bed." It's over."

When Lin Xiaoqiao heard this, he said with a smile: "Our brother An is the best at peeing, he has to urinate more than ten bubbles a day."

Mrs. Sun changed Ang'er's diaper quickly, and said, "A lot of urination means that he eats well, so that children can grow up fast."

"The auspicious time is coming soon, grandma, aunt, and aunt, let's go out quickly, Granny Wen said that it is not good to miss the auspicious time." Lin Xiaoqiao came in to greet them to go out.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li smiled and said: "Mother, you all go out and sit for a while."

Mrs. Sun took the lead and got up, led her daughter-in-law and little girl out, and said before going out: "Okay, let's go out first, and come in to see you after the third bath."

Mrs. Li responded with a smile and nodded, and asked Lin Xiaoqiao again: "Have you prepared all the things for washing and washing?"

Lin Xiaoqiao took Ang Ge'er and coaxed him for a while, and seeing that the little guy stopped crying, he went to the cradle to get clothes for him to change, and replied: "It's all ready, just press it firmly. Mother-in-law ordered it to be prepared, mother-in-law can rest assured."

Mrs. Li nodded when she heard this, and when she saw her go to Ange'er's rocking bed to get the clothes, she said, "Your grandma and little aunt brought two sets of clothes, and you will wear the red silk dress embroidered with Momofuku." Right. That has a good meaning, and it’s suitable for wearing on a day like today.”

After hearing this, Lin Xiaoqiao came over to join Mrs. Li, quickly changed Ang'er's clothes, and wrapped them in a quilt again.

As soon as it was tidied up here, Lin Xiaoxi came in to remind her again, so the two sisters walked out with Brother An in their arms.

An incense table has been set up in the living room, enshrining thirteen gods including Bixia Yuanjun, Qiongxiao Empress, and Yunxiao Empress. The incense burner on the table is filled with rice, a pair of small red candles are inserted on it, and a plate is pressed underneath. Gold paper ingots, everyone sat in the room talking and laughing waiting.

Because, when Mrs. Li gave birth, she invited two midwives, so today, she invited both of them over.

As soon as Mrs. Xu saw Lin Xiaoqiao coming out with Brother Ang in her arms, she hurried up to greet her and said a lot of auspicious words, and Mrs. Mi followed closely behind.

Lin Xiaoqiao and sisters understood what they meant, so they gave a tael of silver to each of them first, and the two women happily accepted it.

Then, the ceremony of "washing the three sons" officially began. So far, Mr. Zhou or Mr. Lin have not made an appearance, and the same is true for the people in the big house.

The first step for Xisan'er is to ask his grandmother to lead the midwife mother-in-law to kneel down and worship the god statue together. Since Mrs. Zhou did not come, Mrs. Sun can only do it for her.

When Lin Xiaoqiao saw his father, he couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart. In the end, he was the only one who hurt himself when he shouldn't have hoped for something.

After the two midwives finished praying to the statue, Aunt Lu came in with half a basin filled with the juice made from locust tree leaves and mugwort leaves, and put it in front of the incense table.

Lin Xiaoqiao had already seen this before when Fu Geer was in Sansan, so she was clear about the general procedure.

At this time, the two midwives came over, rushing to hold Brother Ang. Seeing this posture, Lin Xiaoqiao hurriedly stopped him and said, "Hey—don't grab, don't grab! Whoever is holding Brother Ang, wait and see!" The rewards will be the same in a while."

After saying this, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Mi stopped, and Lin Xiaoqiao handed An Geer to Mrs. Xu, who held her.

Next, the elders, in order of seniority, each add a spoonful of water to the basin, and along the way, throw shoes, gold and silver nude seeds or xiguo into the basin, which is called "adding the basin".

Of all the people in the room, only Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Li were the oldest and had the most seniority, so the two elders took the lead in adding water and basins.

Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Li each added a piece of broken silver, each of which looked like a tael of silver, and added some auspicious dates, longan and other happy fruits.

Seeing the two midwives, Mrs. Sun and old man Li were so generous, their faces were all smiles, and they sang auspicious words such as "consecutively give birth to precious sons, evenly achieve three yuan".

After the old couple added more pots, Mrs. Zhao, Widow Zheng and others added more pots. Everyone spent a lot of money, some threw small silver locks into the pots, and some threw silver nudes into the pots.

When it was Lin Xiaoqiao's turn, they each added a tael of silver, and they also added two taels of silver for Dalang Erlang's older brothers.

It's not that Lin Xiaoqiao is stingy, it's mainly because the things in this basin will belong to the two mothers-in-law after the third wash, and they are not really added to his younger brother, so Lin Xiaoqiao I don't want to do such a senseless act of generosity.
