Sister-in-law ate the fifth rooster, and finally she gave birth.

Accompanied by a cry.

My mother rushed into the sister-in-law's room in a hurry. I was leaning outside the door.

"Why is it another girl? What's going on!"

"Why is my belly so disappointing? Worthless thing! It ate five whole roosters, and now it gave birth to such a worthless thing! Are you deliberately trying to infuriate me to death!"

After hearing the scolding, my brother rushed in, cursed several times, slapped the sister-in-law several times, and then slammed the door and left.

The door opened, and I stood at the door and watched.

The sister-in-law smiled foolishly, no longer afraid of being scolded by my mother, just kept smiling foolishly.

And in her arms, she held a chubby little girl.

Strange, the first child of Wang's daughter-in-law was also a girl, and she was made into a paper person. The next child was a fat boy. Why doesn't it work for the sister-in-law?

Moreover, what the sister-in-law gave birth to was not a chubby little girl at all, but clearly a paper doll!

Pale as paper skin, with two bright blushes on the face, red lips, and even somewhat similar to the baby girl who was pierced into a paper person last time.

But the only strange thing is that it has no eyes.

I pointed to the doll in the sister-in-law's hand and asked my mother, "Mom, why did the sister-in-law give birth to a paper person without eyes?"

My mother frowned tightly, turned her head and wanted to slap me, but when she saw that I was serious, she pulled me into the corner and asked me carefully.

"Pan'er, what did you just say, what did your sister-in-law give birth to?"

"A paper doll, a paper doll without eyes!"

I answered truthfully.

My mother turned her head and looked at the baby girl in the sister-in-law's arms with fear.

"Pan'er, go and find the paper craftsman who pierced you last time, hurry up, it's too late!"

My mother pushed me hard.

Her voice was anxious, she pushed me out of the room, and then muttered in the room.

"How could I forget? I forgot to put on the eyes last time. No wonder my grandson couldn't find his way home..."

"This time, I must put eyes on her!"

The paper craftsman refused to do such a strange thing no matter what my mother said. My mother scolded and grumbled in front of the door, and then, as if she had made up her mind, she ran back home.

I often help out at the coffin shop and occasionally hear the old paper craftsman say some strange things.

For example, paper dolls praying for children, and the ritual of dotting the eyes.

The male baby can find his way into his mother's belly only when the paper doll has its eyes dotted.

But last time, my mother forgot.

Forgot to put eyes on the baby girl paper doll!

But what they don't know is that there are two unwritten rules for making paper dolls.

One is that paper dolls cannot be made for living people.

The second is that paper dolls cannot have their eyes dotted!
