I am a Primitive Man Chapter 348: Missing half a pound at the critical moment

Chapter 348: Missing half a pound at the critical mont

Scales are helpful, such as accurately knowing how many pounds of grain per acre.

For example, accurately tracking the changes in Bai Xue's weight.

And now, for weighing newborn babies.

Hei Wa is a father again.

This guy has been with Zhuang for almost three years, yet their passion is still burning strong.

Han Cheng doesn't know where they get so much energy and passion.

Even though Han Cheng has told Hei Wa more than once that young people should be restrained to avoid tears in the future, their passion hasn't diminished much.

The more diligent the sowing, the higher the seed germination rate. Just as the first child of Hei Wa's family had just started to walk unsteadily, the second one was already born.

For this child, Zhuang suffered a lot, even more than giving birth to the first child. Painful screams filled the entire tribe.

Han Cheng even thought about going in to deliver the baby himself.

In the face of life, gender differences and all those things had to take a back seat.

And Zhuang had already been seen through by Han Cheng...

Just as Han Cheng was getting ready to roll up his sleeves and wash his hands to go over, the room was filled with the loud crying of the newborn baby.

Then Hei Wa's voice of joy rang out.

Han Cheng and so other people waiting outside entered the room.

"Wow!"

Seeing the newborn baby, who was not yet very clean, Han Cheng couldn't help but be surprised.

It wasn't because the little guy had two birdies but because his head was big enough.

He looked noticeably fatter than the average baby.

No wonder Zhuang struggled so hard during the second delivery!

Thinking like this, Hei Wa was already busy looking for a scale to weigh the newborn baby.

Weighing newborn babies had beco popular in the tribe since Han Cheng made the scale.

Before the scale was made, the people in the tribe were very concerned about the size of newborn babies.

Experience told them that the bigger the newborn baby, the stronger and more likely it is to survive.

Before the scale, they could only rely on size for comparison, but they couldn't determine which baby was bigger and by how much.

Now that there was a scale, everything changed. People could accurately know the weight of newborn babies.

As a result, there were several babies in the tribe nad Five and a Half Pounds, Six Pounds, and so on.

Giving birth to a chubby baby made Zhuang, the mother, and Hei Wa, the second-ti father, extrely happy.

The two-month-old child of Liang's partner reached six pounds and seven ounces, making him the heaviest baby born in the Green Sparrow Tribe since they had the scale.

Whenever they heard Liang calling their baby six pounds and seven ounces, Tie Tou felt uncomfortable.

Because his first child was bigger than Liang's child, but because there was no scale, Liang's six pounds and seven ounces beca the standard.

Now that Zhuang had given birth to such a chubby baby, it would be strange if he didn't rush to find a scale.

The scale was brought over, and after the crying baby was wrapped in a one-pound animal fur blanket, it was hung on the scale hook.

The rope on the scale hamr passed over eight pounds, and the scale beam was still high, indicating that the baby hanging in front weighed more than seven pounds.

Hei Wa's face was filled with joy as he moved the hamr backward until the scale beam balanced at nine pounds and eight ounces.

This child weighs eight pounds and eight taels, excluding one pound of skin.

Seeing the result, Han Cheng on the side couldn't help but widen his eyes in astonishnt.

Hei Wa and Zhuang are sothing!

Hei Wa's ntal arithtic ability was not strong enough. Subtracting one pound from nine pounds and eight ounces equals eight pounds and eight ounces, and it took him a while to figure it out.

Just as he was about to joyfully announce this good news to everyone, the previously stable scale suddenly began to droop slowly.

At the sa ti, a crystal-clear stream of water spurted out from between the newborn baby's legs, reaching a shaful distance of two ters that made all the adults in the room blush...

Hei Wa widened his eyes, looking at the continuous stream of water spraying from his son's legs, then glanced at the slowly drooping scale beam, his face dumbfounded.

"Plop!"

The scale hamr fell to the ground, and the unbalanced scale beam soared high. At this mont, Hei Wa's chubby little son was still peeing.

By the ti he finished urinating and picked up the scale hamr to weigh again, only nine pounds and three ounces remained, aning this little guy peed out more than half a pound, leaving only eight pounds and three ounces!

"You little rascal!"

Unable to accept this result, Hei Wa, in frustration, slapped the innocent baby sucking on his fingers in the swaddling clothes.

"Hahaha..."

All the people watching around couldn't help but laugh.

From then on, Hei Wa's second child was nad Half a Pound.

Whenever soone called him that way, Hei Wa pat Half a Pound with a frustrated expression.

Looking resentfully at him, he'd say, "You just can't hold it in..."

The third batch of grains was also threshed, yielding only fifty-one pounds.

While Han Cheng and the others threshed the grains, Eldest Senior Brother and the others also wielded stone sickles and bone spades, turning over the harvested grain and rapeseed fields.

After drying for a while, they would be ready to plant rapeseed.

These fields had all been turned over at least once, and there were few grass roots, tree roots, or small stones, so it didn't take too much ti.

While Eldest Senior Brother and the others were doing this, Han Cheng was not idle either. He led so logistics specialists to prepare and store food that could be stored for a long ti.

At the sa ti, he conducted a comprehensive inspection of the original four canoes and the two newly made ones.

The oars and cables of the canoes were also carefully inspected.

These were all things related to life safety so they couldn't be checked too carefully.

In addition, stone sickles, bone sickles, ropes, and other items were also prepared and inspected.

Autumn winds had begun, leaves were falling, and it was ti to go downstream to harvest hemp and fulfill the promise to the Fire Tribe.

By now, the grains had been harvested and stored in the house, and the rapeseed fields had been turned over. It was not yet ti to harvest the fruits, so it was a leisure period.

When they returned from downstream with the hemp, they could plant the rapeseed and harvest the fruits.

Looking at the empty deer pen and the several canoes moored by the riverbank, Tie Tou seed sowhat preoccupied.

The deer herd had gone out to graze; according to experience, they should have gone out with the other grass-cutters.

But now, he was in the tribe.

The others who usually went grass-cutting with him were also in the tribe.

Looking at the stacked haystacks, which were not yet tall, and thinking about the significantly expanded deer and rabbit herds, Tie Tou hesitated for a while before finally heading towards Han Cheng, who was directing people to load things onto the canoes.
