Bai Shan looked at the uneaten meatloaf in his hand, handed it to Bai Dalang and said, "Brother, let me eat this for you, and make up for it."
Bai Dalang ignored him at all, stretched out his hand to hold his wife's hand and said excitedly: "I, I'm going to be a father!"
Bai Erlang also came back to his senses, and now he said pleasantly: "I, am I going to be an uncle?"
Man Bao was also very happy for them, but seeing Bai Erlang was so pleasantly surprised, she still said reservedly: "I'm going to be an aunt too."
Bai Erlang said: "Haven't you always been an aunt?"
Man Bao said: "My sixth sister-in-law is also pregnant, but it's not yet three months old, so I didn't tell the outside world."
Bai Erlang: "... You already said that last ten days off."
Saturday's sister-in-law's pregnancy was diagnosed last time during the full ten-day break. At that time, the whole family knew about it, including the Bai family.
It is said that it is not passed on to the outside world, but it is just that it is not passed on to the outside world.
Seeing that they had to fight over this matter, Bai Shan took another look at the elder brother who had helped Cheng to sit down and asked about his health, and ignored their lobby brother at all, so he simply dragged them out, "Let's go to the kitchen to see if there is anything else. What's delicious."
Leave the space to other couples.
Bai Dalang and Cheng Shi were really excited and happy. They sat in the study for two quarters of an hour by themselves. After the excitement passed, Bai Dalang carefully helped Cheng Shi back to the house, but he still felt weak. Soft, the whole person is light and airy.
On the contrary, Cheng Shi was more stable than Bai Dalang, at least she felt that she was stepping on the ground.
Speaking of which, the two have been married for more than a year, and they have never had children. When Master Bai and Mrs. Bai were there in July, they secretly asked Manbao to show them.
But in fact, they didn't need to ask, Cheng quietly took Saturday's sister-in-law to Man Bao to have a look, and Man Bao confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the four of them, and in turn comforted the two sister-in-laws, "My mother said that the child depends on fate. Yes, sometimes when the fate comes, the child will come."
Reassure the two of them not to rush.
Saturday's sister-in-law is okay, Lao Zhoutou and Qian's don't rush, mainly because their family has too many children, and Saturday Lang won't be conspicuous if he doesn't have children for the time being.
Saturday Lang himself is not in a hurry, he goes to the restaurant at home every day, learns to cook some dishes from Xiaoqian when he has free time, and occasionally takes Saturday's sister-in-law out to play.
So Saturday's sister-in-law let go after being nervous for a while, but Cheng has always been under a lot of pressure, especially after it was reported that Saturday's sister-in-law was pregnant in the first ten days.
The husband and wife helped each other back into the Taoist house, and the three of Man Bao, who went to the kitchen for a while, left with delicious food, and everyone in the family knew about it.
The Zhou family is now headed by Xiaoqian, she thought for a while and said: "Since eating meat pie sticks makes you vomit, then you want to eat something lighter. It just so happens that your elder brother brought a lot of cabbage back from the village. Make her a cabbage soup, and let Li Jun deliver it to her later."
Mrs. Liu also knew about it, and immediately called the person serving in the courtyard of the two of them, and said: "The ice in the courtyard must be shoveled clean, and there are two more people around, and they must be supported when going in and out."
There are no such messy things in their house, but these accidents should be paid attention to at any time, so we can't be careless.
He also talked about the precautions that pregnant women should pay attention to, and then said: "The days are still young, don't talk about it for the time being, we will talk about it after three months."
Everyone should go down.
Because he couldn't tell the outside world, Bai Dalang, who wanted to write a letter back to tell his parents, could only bear with it. He didn't even talk about it at home.
Because Zhou Man was an official and was still in the period of national mourning, Bai Dalang didn't invite her to drink when everyone had dinner together the next day, but instead invited her to drink a bowl of soup, and drank a glass of wine happily.
Man Bao: ...
She could only take the soup, and accepted Bai Dalang's thanks with soup instead of wine.
Different from the many scruples in the capital, Qili Village is a lively scene, and the folks only need to observe filial piety for three months, which is already over by now.
So the marriages that were postponed because of the national mourning were all concentrated in the two days before the year, so marrying a daughter-in-law is good for the New Year.
It was the same in Qili Village. After the twelfth lunar month, there were three weddings in a row. In the neighboring village, people with relatives and relatives all went to drink. Uncle Qian's family also had two grandsons who were going to marry their wives this year.
Because of this, Zhou Zhoulang, who returned home, failed to go to Beijing, so he simply stayed at home for a year, and after the spring of next year, he collected a wave of tea before leaving.
There are still two days before the Chinese New Year, and the old Zhou's New Year's goods have already been prepared, and the rest is to make all kinds of things in the kitchen to prepare for the New Year.
This year, Mrs. Qian was not around, and the family really disliked Mrs. Feng's craftsmanship. In the end, Mrs. Qian went into the kitchen by herself and asked the second and third daughters-in-law to help prepare.
Lao Zhoutou had nothing to do, so he just sat under the big banyan tree at the head of the village and bragged with others. Not only were there many people here, but the sun was also good, so he could talk to people while basking in the sun.
People in Qili Village like to talk around him now, mainly because Master Bai is too reserved, and he doesn't like to sit and talk with them.
In their village, the only ones who have been to the capital to enjoy the blessings and experience are the old Zhou's family members.
"Uncle Jin, you have seen the prince, have you seen the emperor?"
Old Zhou Tou said regretfully: "I haven't seen it, so anyone can see the emperor? It's full of treasures, and you can only see it when you enter the palace every day."
Everyone was amazed when they heard this, and they all thought it was amazing, after all Zhou Man was grown up by them.
But Zhou Man has been smart since she was a child, mainly because her father is also very smart.
The older ones couldn't help but take a look at Zhou Jin, who was full of wrinkles, and thought that although he was not as smart as his brother, he was lucky to have such a daughter.
Someone said: "It's better to marry a daughter-in-law."
"Yes, it's a pity that the Qian family has many grandsons but few granddaughters, otherwise..."
"Look at the next generation."
"It's not easy. Uncle Jin's family doesn't have many granddaughters now."
"Hey, by the way, Uncle Jin, did Erya say we kissed?"
Zhou Jin waved his hand and said, "Not yet, her grandma and I can't talk about her marriage, so Man Baolai has to mention it."
The people who had just thought about it couldn't help asking: "Why?"
"Too capable," Zhou Jin said without hesitation: "Now she can earn more money by herself than her fourth uncle. It would be too wronged to say that ordinary people are too wronged. Her grandma and I know very few people. So I gave it to her sister-in-law."
Zhou Lijun is not young anymore, and the old Zhou Tou was not in a hurry when he was in the capital, but after Liu Liulang, both he and Qian's forbearance skills have improved a lot.
When Zhou Lijun came back from the prairie, he asked the old couple to settle an account, mainly to calculate the money she earned this year and what she did on this trip to the prairie.
Then he directly said to old Zhou Tou Qian: "Grandpa, grandma, I don't want to go back to farming."
Old Zhou Tou didn't realize it at the time, and said directly: "Who told you to go back to farming? Was it your mother?"
Mrs. Qian understood what her granddaughter meant, and after thinking for a while, she said: "I will let your sister-in-law be more concerned about your marriage, and you should pay attention to it yourself. If you don't want to plant the land, don't plant it. We can't do as much as you do all year round." If you earn a fraction of a trip out, you can support yourself as long as you can."
