This cute scene made Wu Meili laugh even louder. Even the aunts and uncles who were a little reserved around him were smiling in a low voice.

Bao'er is sad, Bao'er is sad, Bao'er wants to cry.

Seeing her little granddaughter pouting, Wu Meili finally found her conscience. She coughed slightly, took out a gift from the wooden box, and said it covertly.

"Come on, come on, Bao'er, look, this is the longevity lock, worn around the neck."

After saying that, she untied the red rope from the longevity lock and quickly tied it around Bao'er's neck.

Bao'er tilted his head, scratched his neck again, feeling the cool temperature of the metal, and laughed happily.

At this time, Wu Meili was not idle either. She took out two more bracelets from the wooden box and waved them to Bao'er.

"These are a pair of silver bracelets for your feet. When you grow up, they should be worn on your hands."

When everyone heard these words, their eyes immediately fell on Wu Meili's hand. They were a pair of small silver bracelets that looked the same.

One end is slightly narrower and the other is slightly wider. The wide side is engraved with various auspicious clouds and wishful thinking patterns, which are exactly the same as the longevity lock. It is obviously the same thing.

Bao'er screamed, stretched out his arms like lotus joints again, and waved them gently.

Wu Meili laughed and took back the two silver bracelets under Bao'er's resentful eyes.

At the same time, she grabbed one of Bao'er's feet and carefully stuffed it onto the silver bracelet on her hand.

Bao'er soon felt it and started babbling and laughing again. She was very obedient and did not move, letting Wu Meili put on the silver bracelet.

"My mother-in-law, how well-behaved your granddaughter is! It makes me jealous, and I don't know how you taught her."

Chunhua hesitated for a while and said with a smile.

Wu Meili nodded to her with satisfaction, and put a second silver bracelet on Bao'er.

"Our baby is born so well-behaved, what can I do?"

When she said this, she looked very distressed, but in fact she was so proud that she almost looked at people with her chin.

Everyone was not angry, and spoke one after another, talking happily.

Under normal circumstances, Wu Meili would not lose other people's face easily. Now that these daughters-in-law had already spoken, she also said a few more words.

She took out the last item in the wooden box, showed it to everyone as if showing off, and asked.

"Do you ever know what this is?"

Everyone looked at the stones woven into a net with red ropes and carefully carried around them, and shook their heads.

Chunhua smiled weakly and said.

"Please forgive us little daughters-in-law for being ignorant, and please ask your mother-in-law to tell us!"

Wu Meili lowered her head, tied a long red rope around her little granddaughter's waist, and talked about the strange things she had encountered a few months ago.

This stone was the reward given to her by Huang Taixian. According to Wong Tai Sin, it can keep children safe and healthy, and prevent premature death.

Everyone listened and felt dubious. Even though there are many legends about this in the world, no one knows whether it is true or false without seeing it with their own eyes.

Wu Meili glanced at everyone and said nothing more. Believe it or not, it doesn't matter. In fact, she didn't really believe it before she encountered that incident.

"The barber is here, let the children come out and have their heads shaved!"

There was a sudden shout from outside the door, and Hehua quickly packed up. Even though there is a very warm sun outside, it is still early spring, so the temperature outside is not high.

Bao'er was very obedient and remained motionless, letting her grandma and mother put her into large, soft and comfortable underwear, a large and heavy cotton-padded jacket, and a beautiful and loose pleated skirt.

These clothes were all made by Hehua, the mother-in-law. Although they are not very beautiful, they still have a fixed shape and ordinary embroidery skills, but they also represent her thoughts.

Looking at the thick, black hair on Bao'er's head, Wu Meili directly selected the most suitable one among the twelve beautiful tiger head hats given by her daughter, Mrs. Zhou, and put it on her granddaughter's head. .

The soles of her feet were not naked either. Hehua put on snow-white socks and beautiful tiger-head shoes. This was sent by eldest sister Chunhua. Don't let this good intention go to waste.

Finally, Wu Meili took out a swaddling clothes, wrapped her neatly dressed granddaughter, and held her tightly in her arms. After finding that Bao'er didn't feel any discomfort, he opened the door and walked over.

Hehua followed closely, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he took out a set of bedding from the cabinet and placed it in front of the sisters-in-law.

"When we are laying out the bedding in a while, please ask the sisters-in-law to go up with this. Although it is a bit old, it is better than nothing."

"Sister-in-law, my mother-in-law's side..."

The sisters-in-law looked at each other and said hesitantly.

Hehua sneered, not hiding her attitude, and replied with disdain.

"Who knows when my mother will come back, I guess she will be too late. If others ask, just say that my mother has something to do and she can't come back in time, so I asked you to do it for me."

The sisters-in-law looked at each other and had no choice but to put down the bedding.

On the day when a newborn is one month old, there has always been an unavoidable custom of shaving the child's head and trimming his eyebrows.

It is believed that the baby's fetal hair comes from the mother's body and is inevitably contaminated by so-called blood. Therefore, it is necessary to shave the head, not only to remove the dirty smell, but also to hope that the baby's hair will grow thicker.

Moreover, the fetal hair must be shaved before being carried into the hall. Entering the hall without taking care of your fetus is disrespectful to gods, Buddhas and ancestors, and will be punished by God. Therefore, before worshiping ancestors, you must first remove the fetal hair and eyebrows to show respect.

Wu Meili carried Bao'er to the yard and saw a large wooden table in the middle.

A woman wearing red clothes and a red flower stood aside, smiling and talking to everyone.

She quickly walked in with her child in her arms, stood next to the woman, and exchanged greetings with each other.

At the same time, everyone gathered around after seeing this scene, watching the next scene silently.

I saw the woman in red waving her hands and shouting loudly.

"Grandma's bedding is here. Where is grandma? Give the bedding to our baby quickly!"

After shouting loudly three times in a row, Hehua's sisters-in-law quickly opened the door and were about to bring up the bedding that Hehua had given them.

At this moment, a man suddenly walked in from the door and said breathlessly: "I'm here, I'll be in right away."

"Why are you here now? Shouldn't you be here earlier?"

Someone complained, but the crowd parted a path and allowed the grandmother An Dongmei to walk in.

The wives in the room breathed a sigh of relief and returned the bedding to sister-in-law Hehua's bed. Then, they quietly walked out and stood outside the crowd to watch the excitement.

Wu Meili held the child in her arms and smiled politely at An Dongmei who was sweating profusely. She looked at An Dongmei without saying a word and looked at An Dongmei's back with a vague look in her eyes. wrapped package.

An Dongmei was almost furious. She finally hurried back before shaving her head, but her mother-in-law still looked at her suspiciously. Isn't it just a little girl's film, worthy of being so treasured

With this in mind, she unfolded the package directly, revealing the finely crafted quilt inside, and threw it on the table. If someone hadn't been there to catch me, the little pillow would have fallen off.

People around her whispered and gave the grandmother An Dongmei strange looks. Many people don't like granddaughters, but they still have to save some face. As a result, this person didn't even give me any face, and I really didn't know what to say.

Wu Meili stood aside with her child in her arms. The moment she saw this bedding, she understood what He Hua was doing behind the scenes. She glanced at An Dongmei, her eyes full of confusion.

Obviously An Dongmei is a woman, but why doesn't she like her granddaughter? Shouldn't they be of the same gender, so they can speak more easily and understand each other

She thought so, but she didn't ask stupidly. Instead, he asked his daughter-in-law to tidy up her mother-in-law's bedding, put the baby in her arms on the bedding, and then look at the woman dressed in red next to her.

“Shave your head, trim your hair, start from scratch, and your life will be complete.

The red egg rolling three times on the head indicates good luck and a happy marriage. "

Accompanied by the chorus of a woman dressed in red, Bao'er's hair and eyebrows disappeared without a trace. The bright cinnabar mole on his forehead was revealed, which aroused the amazement of the onlookers.

Wu Meili seemed unmoved, but in fact she was beaming with joy and forgot about herself.

Everyone ignored her and just praised Bao'er repeatedly.

As for Bao'er, who was surrounded by everyone, his little hands unconsciously touched his scalp, which was not very smooth, and he burst into tears.

The woman dressed in red took the red egg that was delivered and rolled it on Bao'er's scalp regardless of Bao'er's loud cries.

After that, Wu Meili quickly held her granddaughter in her arms and coaxed her.

"Don't be afraid, Bao'er. All children will be like this when they are full moon. It will grow out after a while. Your hair will definitely be long and beautiful by then. You will be so envious of all the little ladies around you."

After hearing this, Bao'er was satisfied. He also waved his little arm, trying to pick up the tiger head hat placed on the bedding.

Wu Meili understood it and cursed with a smile.

"Bao'er, you know how to love beauty when you're still so young, and you can do it even better when you grow up."

With that said, she picked up the tiger head hat and put it on Bao'er's head neatly and orderly.

When the people around heard this, they all laughed and laughed.

Wu Meili echoed a few words and invited everyone to eat. The food in the kitchen is now ready and waiting to be served!

What no one expected was that when the table was half-open, a painful cry suddenly came from a room, followed by crying and cursing, which disturbed everyone's interest.
