Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 342

Chapter 342: Chapter 263: Full Moon Ceremony (Part 2)

Zhou Jiao heard her mention this yesterday. Holding the child, everyone came out to join the excitement.

The barber asked her to gently hold the child’s head, making sure he didn’t move. Using a hot towel, he wiped the top of the head, and quickly finished the haircut, placing the hair into the red cloth Mother Zhang had prepared.

Mother Zhang had Zhou Jiao wrap the red cloth and place it under Ping’an’s pillow.

After the barber finished tidying up his tools, Zhang Guoqing came in and took him to the main room, insisting that he not leave without having a drink. The barber was someone he personally invited from the county town. Since he rode confidently over, how could he just be sent off with a red envelope without eating? He wasn’t here just for the red envelope; being here was more about honor with his skill.

The cooks, photographers, and barbers invited today were all given a small bamboo basket of gifts and a red envelope by him, spreading good fortune to everyone.

In the bedroom, Lin Lishan brought out a set of red silk cotton-padded jacket and pants. Seeing what was in Zhou Jiao’s hands, she came over to take a look and knew that it was made by her personally. She rolled her eyes at her in mock displeasure, comparing it to hers and realizing it couldn’t quite match Zhou Jiao’s handiwork.

Mother Zhang finished bathing Little Ping’an, dressing him fresh and new, while Lin Lishan personally adorned him with a golden lock, gold bracelet, and gold anklet, and pulled out the jade pendant given by Huang Hui Min to place outside his clothes.

Little Ping’an looked around with big bright eyes, smiling at something unseen. Dressed in bright red outfits, his fair smiling face was even more charming than a picture-book child, only missing a big carp to hold.

Everyone watched him in amazement. He seemed remarkably clever for just one month old, with expressions that seemed to understand. They all praised him cheerfully.

When the photographer arrived at the Zhang Family, he was escorted to the main room by Eldest Zhang, Zhang Guofu. He declined Mr. Zhang’s offer to take a rest, arranging chairs and stools in the courtyard instead.

Everything was ready. Zhou Jiao removed Ping’an’s jewelry, putting the jade pendant inside his clothes but decided to leave the golden lock. Her father had prepared it, specifically a thin piece, and it wouldn’t make much difference.

Carrying the child, Zhou Jiao joined everyone in the yard for photos. Besides Ping’an’s full moon photo and a family portrait of the three, Zhang Guoqing asked the photographer to take group photos of everyone, a family portrait, and photos of his parents, among others. The group took turns until one full roll was used up.

Right after the photos, it was time to start the feast. Cold dishes were already set on the table, waiting for the hot dishes to be served as everyone took their seats.
