Chapter 1686: Bathing Ceremony
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although it was egg noodles, Jiang Yue always felt like it tasted like nothing without the side dishes. She asked Xue Yan to put some side dishes into the noodles and then mix them for her.
The noodles only tasted better after the side dishes were added.
At first, she was very hungry, but Jiang Yue did not finish eating the big bowl of noodles at all. In the end, it was Xue Yan who ate the rest for her.
It was late at night, so it was considered supper.
After eating, Xue Yan brought the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen and quickly washed them clean. Only then did he turn off the kitchen lights and return to his room.
Seeing that Jiang Yue was looking at their baby again, Xue Yan chose to do the same. He squatted on the other side of the rocking bed. While looking at the baby in the rocking bed with Jiang Yue, he whispered to Jiang Yue.
She could not leave the baby behind.
As they chatted, Xue Yan whispered, “I don’t know if it’s because she’s still too young and doesn’t know anything. I can’t see that our baby’s physique is different from ordinary people. I can’t see if she has a special ability.”
Previously, they heard Shao Shuting and Huo Wenqing talk about this in the apocalypse. Because she had superpowers, two spaces, and he could enter the space without collapsing and could open the door in the space, he was considered half a superpowered person. Both parents were superpowered, so their children were likely to have superpowers, or their physique would be different from ordinary children.
At that time, they had also talked in private and felt that it was indeed possible from a genetic point of view.
“It’s just a possibility, but not necessarily.” Jiang Yue said. “Let’s wait and see. If our baby’s true physique is different from ordinary people or has special abilities, it will show sooner or later.”
“Yes.” Xue Yan nodded in agreement. Then she smiled. “Dad and the others all say that Xue Yang is heavier than Xue Shi and the others when they were born. I don’t know why, but I feel that Yang is quite small. She looks much smaller than the others when they were born.”
Jiang Yue tilted her head and looked at the rocking bed. She tapped her baby’s little nose with her finger. “Her nose is not even as big as my finger. It’s much smaller.”
“See, you think so too. Maybe this has something to do with our first time being parents.”
“Yes.”
It was her baby. Even if it was ugly, she still felt that it was cute.
Besides, no parent would ever call their baby ugly.
…
There was a custom in Da Ling. On the third day after a baby is born, a bathing ceremony would be held to gather relatives and friends to pray for good luck for the baby.
Poor families did not do this. However, there were almost no poor people in Da Ling now. Therefore, every family could celebrate this tradition together.
Therefore, on the third day after Jiang Yue gave birth to the baby, although Jiang Yue was still lying on the bed and in confinement, Xue Yan carried the baby out and bathed her.
One was to wash away the misunderstanding and avoid disaster.
The second was naturally to pray for good luck.
After washing the baby three times, Xue Yan hurriedly sent his baby back to his room.
The baby could already open her eyes. She even blinked and stared at her father and mother without crying. It was as if they did not know each other. She wanted to recognize them properly.
The people who would come in to see the children and talk to Jiang Yue liked them very much.
After a few days, Xue Yang was no longer wrinkled and red. Instead, she was fair and tender, making her look even smaller.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the baby’s one-month-old birthday.
Jiang Yue had also finished her confinement period. She had a natural birth and had a good body. She did not need to stay in confinement for such a long time. However, her family, including Xue Yan, insisted she stay. They were afraid that she would have any problems if she did not do her confinement well, so she still stayed in confinement for a whole month.
