The days are as plain as water, and Doubao is growing up day by day. After six months, the small teeth have popped up. He always licks them with his tongue. Sometimes he feels uncomfortable, and he will scream at night.
During this period, because of teething, Li Haitang had a fever once, which frightened Li Haitang so much that she couldn't fall asleep for two nights, and she kept hugging Xiao Baozi to coax her.
Although I used some prescriptions suitable for children, the bean buns did not reduce the fever. I still endured a lot of torture, and my fat little arms and legs lost a lot of weight.
For this, Li Haitang's heart ached so much that she wished she could take it for Dou Bao.
Since then, some common illnesses have become infinitely magnified in Li Haitang's eyes, and she sometimes doubts her own medical skills.
She would also think that little buns should not be pampered, lest they grow up to be effeminate and face the world after going through a lot of wind and rain, just like falling down, let them get up by themselves instead of helping them immediately.
After eight months, Dou??? Bao began to speak coherently. He could say three or four words at most and express his feelings clearly.
Li Haitang recalled the first time she heard Dou Bao call out "Mother". She was so excited that her eyes glistened with tears, and she couldn't fall asleep all night.
Time advances, and in a blink of an eye, it is the end of the new year. The winter in the border town is full of wind and snow, and it is extremely cold.
No matter how thick you wear it, you will shrink your head and shrink your head from the cold as soon as you go out, thinking about finding a place to keep warm.
It's too cold, and the bean buns are still small, so it's easy to get wind and cold. For this reason, the house has also been repaired.
In order to maintain the heat, the family dug a flue from under the stove, leading to the underground of each house, specially rebuilt the fire kang and fire wall, and the floor was covered with smooth marble to prevent moisture from returning.
Li Haitang asked his savage husband to make a fence with a round head, and wrapped it with cotton cloth.
She circled a place in the house, with thick cushions under it, soft and soft. Slowly, Xiaodoubao was able to stand up while leaning on the fence and walk a few steps.
Dou??? Bao found that this was a novel and interesting activity. He practiced it every day. After falling down, he got up again and continued walking.
Li Haitang looked at it very distressed, no matter how soft the cushion was, it would still rub against her skin when she fell down, and seeing that Doubao's calf was red all over, she wished she could go up and hug him in her arms.
"Madam, there will be a market in the city tomorrow, and it's time for us to buy some new year's goods."
Wu Fu lifted the cotton curtain, stomped the snow on his feet at the door, and changed into a pair of cotton slippers.
Their wife is very particular, and there is a shoe rack at the door, which is specially placed with cotton slippers, some of which are worn by servants, and some are used to entertain guests.
This is good for changing shoes at the door. The ground in the house can be kept dry and only needs to be cleaned once a day.
Madam knows how to enjoy, sitting on that wooden frame called a sofa is much more comfortable than a hard chair.
Li Haitang might stay in the house in the border town for a long time, so she opened up the room and used it as a suite, with a door between her own room and the small bean bag.
In the evening, the bean buns can last until dawn, and they don’t need someone to wait on them, so all the servants in the family live in the wing room, and even Nanny Yu’s work is much easier.
Today, Nanny Yu went to visit her old sister. The servants in the family performed their duties, and only Wufu was idle.
"Success, let's go take a look tomorrow."
The two countries went to war, and the common people were not as flustered as they were in previous years. They were used to it, and the tense atmosphere did not dilute the joy of the New Year in the slightest.
In a blink of an eye, time flies so fast. Last year, the Chinese New Year was still in the Northwest, and accidents always happened if the food was not good. This year, the bean buns were born, which is the first year for the three of them.
Li Haitang focused on her own little bean bun. The little bun was very stubborn. After falling down, he immediately got up and walked forward with a wobbly body. At first, he couldn't grasp his balance and always fell down. Later, he was able to walk up. One back and forth.
Dou Bao is very smart, sitting, turning over and walking, almost didn't need Li Haitang to teach him, he could figure it out by himself.
In the first half month, Doubao just started talking, pointed at Xiao Lingchuan, and called out, "Horse!"
"It's not a horse, it's daddy, daddy!"
Li Haitang corrected, but didn't realize what to say for a while.
"Big horse!"
Dou Bao pointed at Xiao Lingchuan, very persistent.
Seeing the black face of his savage husband, Li Haitang laughed until his stomach ached. Sure enough, although Baozi was worried, he had a lot of fun that he didn't have before.
Doubao has always wanted to ride a horse, so his father is a horse to him.
"Wufu, haven't there been any letters from the shop lately?"
Li Haitang stood up, poured himself a glass of water, and then asked Wu Fu.
At the end of the year, Yuehetang has just opened for a year, and there are already more than a dozen shops in the Northland, and there is a trend of continuing to expand.
In the first year, because I had to save money to buy a shop, I didn’t get much money, but when I added the cost of the shop together, it was already a considerable income.
In Daqi, by comparison, the people in the south are more beautiful than those in the north. Next month, Hetang will continue to march to the south, and he will definitely make a lot of money.
Li Haitang was thinking about Zhang Ruyi. Among the sisters, the two were sworn brothers, so they were naturally closer than others.
It's a pity that Kyoto is too far away from the border town, and communication is inconvenient. I can only receive one letter in more than a month.
Along with the letter, there were also gadgets sent by Zhang Ruyi, some for her, some for bean buns, and some for the little fat man from Lanyi's family.
Every time there is a small box of things and a thick stack of letter paper, the two of them always have endless things to talk about, parents gossip, gossip, trivial matters and troubles in life, what needs to be talked about is essential.
"Ma'am, I heard from Miss Ma that someone has returned in the past few days, and he must be able to bring a letter."
There is also a small red clay stove in the room, and a small copper pot with a narrow mouth is placed on it. At this moment, the water is boiling, and Wu Fu is making tea.
She sniffed carefully with her nose, but did not smell a fresh fragrance.
"Miss Ruan said that making tea from falling snow on the branches of plum blossoms will have a delicate and tangy fragrance. It is best to pick fresh ones not long after the snow has fallen. I didn't sleep well in the middle of the night, so I just waited for the snow to fall. !"
Wu Fu twitched the corners of her mouth, she kept talking about the plum blossoms in the backyard this morning, she caught Bai Bing, who knew martial arts, to be a strong man, got some falling snow from the branches of plum blossoms, and hurriedly offered treasures, but it was no different.
"It's all psychological."
Li Haitang shook his head helplessly. Another way of saying is to collect the falling snow from the branches of plum blossoms in jars, keep them sealed, and put them under the plum blossom trees. They will dig them out in the spring of the next day and drink them with tea.
Anyway, those rich young masters and ladies in Kyoto are arty and have nothing to do all day long. They always want to make some moths to show that they are tall, talented and different. For this, Li Haitang scoffed, with that time, it's better to be down-to-earth, what's the point of doing those tricks!
