Chapter 193
193. Full Moon Wine
On the day of the full moon, Zhou's mother burned two large pots of hot water. Grandma Zhou and Zhou Jin took turns to bathe the triplets. One of them specially bathed the triplets, and the other one specially dressed the triplets. Zhou Dajiang and Zhou Daye, the brothers in distress, were responsible for lifting and pouring water.
As for Lin Qingxi, a novice mother, she brought two full buckets of hot water into the bathroom, then took a hot bath in the bathtub, and rubbed it herself and washed it clean.
Zhou's mother and Zhou Mingmin, the mother and daughter, pulled Jin Dahua and Sun Damei to prepare a full moon wine in the kitchen. The triplets were not allowed to wash the three-year-old, so the full moon wine must be done, otherwise Zhou's father would not agree.
So, after Lin Qingxi and the triplets were washed away, they went out to see people in the yard. There were six tables in the yard and two tables in the main hall. Friends and relatives with Zhou family and Lin Qingxi had a good relationship with Lin Qingxi and visited the Lin family in the morning. Lin Yizheng and the children took two days off, and returned home one day early with Zhou Minghui and his brothers who also asked for leave.
After taking a shower, Lin Qingxi wiped her hair dry and changed into a long blue dress. This was what Xu Ling bought in the imperial capital and sent it to her. At the same time, she sent it to her six sets of small clothes and six hats.
After changing into her clothes, Lin Qingxi braided her hair into two braids and scattered it on both sides, and then went to the main hall to rest. It was not that she didn't want to work, but that everyone really didn't agree with her work. Even the four elders snatched the work of taking care of the triplets, and the others could only hug them occasionally.
When Lin Qingxi entered, the main hall was full, and the triplets were hugged by Zhou Jinshi, Grandma Zhou and Xiang Yijing. The three of them sat steadily in the middle of the kang with the triplets in their arms, while the others sat around them, looking at the triplets' tender faces without blinking.
"Girl Xi, those full moon gifts for Dabao three are next to you. Go and ask your grandpa to take the registration notebook over and take a look. You can have a clear idea in your heart," Grandma Zhou saw Lin Qingxi coming, looked up at her and said with a smile. After that, she looked down at the triplets.
"Okay, I'll go and see it later," Lin Qingxi nodded. Before she could find Zhou Dajiang to ask for a registration notebook, Zhou Dajiang came over and handed her the registration notebook.
Lin Qingxi took the registration notebook and took a look, asked Lin Yizheng and the others to move all the things to their room, and she also went to the room to organize the things.
Soon, the awakened noodles were rolled into steamed buns by Aunt Sun and Jin Dahua, the sister-in-law, and put them in a cage to steam them. The steamed buns in the pot were steamed. In the front pot, the fish was stewed in the fish. On the coal stove, Jin Dahua's two daughters-in-law were cooking.
"Only from Guilin, you can steam buns later. Have you washed the cage? "Damei Sun stood next to the stove, uncovered the white cloth still on the surface, and saw how she woke up from it.
In the main hall, Lin Qingxi saw Zhou Dajiang and Zhou's father arrange for everyone to sit for dinner, so she thought about sending the triplets to the room. The people who were eating here had to drink and chat. It was a bit too noisy and was also very alcoholic, so it was not suitable for triplets to stay here to play.
"Min girl, if there is not enough cabbage, you have to wash two more pieces," Zhou's mother was cutting cabbage and found that the cabbage was not enough, because she used some cabbage to stew sauerkraut vermicelli for cabbage, and it would be too much to stir-fry cabbage later.
"Okay, you go and feed Dabao and the others first. I'll send the food to you later." Zhou Jinshi agreed without waiting for Grandma Zhou to respond. For the four elders, triplets are the most important.
Lin Qingxi sorted out the things, put the food in the cabinet, and piled up the clothes at the end of the kang. She went to wash them tomorrow and packed the things on the kang. She fed a basin of water and wiped the kang.
Zhou Jinshi and Aunt Sun stewed fish in a big iron pot next to them. The fish were all kinds of small fish caught by Zhou Minghui and his brothers, Lin Yizheng and others in the river. They were all stewed and eaten.
"Jingjing, please help your aunt and change the diapers to Dabao, and we will go out to greet the guests." Grandma Zhou and Zhou Jin put the triplets on the kang and went out immediately.
With the efforts of a group of female compatriots in the kitchen, dishes were prepared and served in a bowl. The villagers who were brought to the table by Zhou Minghui and the five brothers of Zhou. Under the arrangement of Zhou's father and Zhou Dajiang, they all sat down and started to enjoy the banquet.
After doing all this, Lin Qingxi went to the main hall. She didn't have to worry about the triplets, so she sat next to her rest. The main hall was very lively and the kitchen was very busy.
Then, Lin Qingxi ordered two mugwort strips in the room and put them on the kang. The windows and doors were closed, and the people went out. The triplets were taken care of by Grandma Zhou and the others. She was relieved and went to the backyard alone and lit mugwort strips in each room to disinfect and remove the smell.
"Okay, I'll go wash immediately," Zhou Mingmin responded, called Xie Lu to take the place to burn the fire, and she went to wash the vegetables.
After saying that, Grandma Zhou and the others took the triplets to Lin Qingxi's room. It happened that the room was full of the fragrance of mugwort leaves. The window was slightly opened and the seam was breathable.
The triplets have a variety of gifts for full moons, some have small clothes, some have small quilts, and some have brown sugar. Anyway, they have everything they eat.
"Wash it clean, hang it in the yard, just take it in and use it when steaming," said Mrs. Zhou without raising her head, and she never stopped cutting vegetables in her hand.
In the kitchen, Zhou’s mother and Zhou Mingmin were busy in the kitchen early in the morning. After cooking breakfast, they started to serve noodles because they held a triplet full moon wine, so they had to make a lot of staple food and a lot of noodles were enough to eat.
"Milk, there are too many people here. You can carry Dabao and the three of you into the room! They should be hungry, so I'll feed them. You can just bring the food in for me later."
Lin Qingxi took turns to change the triplets into clean diaper wet, and then took turns to feed them the three of them. After eating, she asked Xiang Yijing to pat her breasts and coax her to sleep. The triplets, who are only one month old, have a sleeping time of up to twenty hours a day. They basically ate and ate when they wake up.
"Jingjing, you go to have a meal first! You don't have to be busy here anymore," Lin Qingxi looked at Xiang Yijing and said softly.
"Okay, aunt, then I'll go to have dinner first. Just call me if you have something to do," Xiang Yijing nodded. She came back from Qinghe City yesterday and took care of the triplets for less than 24 hours. She felt so tired. I don't know how my aunt raised the four of them before. She must be very tired!
At this moment, Xiang Yijing was particularly grateful to Lin Qingxi. Although the four brothers and sisters had parents, they were raised in their grandparents' homes, just like they did not have parents. The one who took care of them was the aunt who was only less than ten years older than them. They could not understand them before, but now at this moment, Xiang Yijing was particularly able to understand the difficulty of her parents and the difficulty of her aunt.
