4723 - The Old Hen Announces Good News

"Sister-in-law was joking." Tuoba Xian raised her hand a little embarrassedly to caress her cheek.

After Wang Cuilian's reminder, Yang Ruoqing really found out.

The mother-in-law's complexion is more ruddy than before, and the fine lines around her eyes seem to have faded a bit. She is already 48, but she looks like she is 38 to nine.

Well, I will buy royal jelly when I come back next spring, and then I will buy more and send some to my mother and my aunt.

Yang Ruoqing and Xiaoduo came to the courtyard of her natal family next door. Mrs. Sun just shook off her apron and was about to cook lunch.

Xiaoduo said: "Feng'er probably won't be able to eat at noon, I ate two big fruit cakes at my sister's house in one sitting!"

Sun was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "What kind of fruit cake can make his appetite so much?"

Yang Ruoqing explained the ins and outs of the incident.

Sun's smile was even bigger: "It's the first time to eat that kind of new fruit. It's a pity that our tile market doesn't sell it here. Otherwise, I'll go and buy some."

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "It's okay, there will definitely be opportunities in the future."

Before Sun's rice was cooked, Da Sun came rushing over.

"Xiaojie gave birth to a daughter!" She opened the door yelling as soon as she entered.

"When was it born? When I came back from the Mid-Autumn Festival two days ago, I said it was about half a month away. Why did I give birth so soon?" Sun asked in surprise, with a look of surprise on his face.

Da Sun said: "Just now Zhang Ban came over with an old hen to announce the good news, and said it was born during breakfast. I asked him when Xiaojie started to go into labor, and how the mother and daughter are doing now. He stammered and said that the mother and daughter are safe, and he couldn't say anything else, but it made me anxious, why did he go to the school in the town to teach when he couldn't speak well?"

"Oh, Zhang Ban is a man and a scholar. How do you know this? Sister, don't criticize your son-in-law. As long as there are words that the mother and daughter are safe, we can rest assured." Sun said with a smile.

"Where's Zhang Ban?" Sun asked again.

Da Sun said: "I took the old hen and cooked him a bowl of noodles. He hurried back without eating two bites. As soon as the front foot left, I came to look for you on the back foot!"

"This woman gave birth to a baby and walked around the gate of hell. Xiaojie was afraid of pain when she was young. Based on the time when the baby fell to the ground, she must have been tossing all night last night. I was not by my side. It hurts to think about it..."

Da Sun's nose was red, and tears were falling down.

Mrs. Sun didn't care about scouring the rice anymore, so she took Mrs. Sun and sat down, comforting her while discussing the matter of visiting Xiaojie...

In the kitchen, Xiaoduo and Yang Ruoqing naturally took over the baton, washing rice and cooking, the two sisters cooperated tacitly, and they could find time to chat while the pots and pans were rattling. Naturally, the content of the chat was also About Xiaojie giving birth to a child.

"Sister, why did Zhang Ban bring an old hen to announce the good news?" Xiaoduo asked puzzled.

Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled: "It's a custom in our area. When a boy is born, he will carry a rooster, and a girl will carry a hen. When the big guy looks at the rooster, he will naturally understand."

Xiaoduo nodded, "Sister, do you think the Zhang family will be unhappy when Xiaojie gave birth to a baby girl? Zhang Ban is the only child in the Zhang family!"

The movements of Yang Ruoqing's hands paused slightly, and said: "This kind of thing varies from person to person, Xiaojie is the first-born girl, and she will have many children in the future, so there is no rush to have a son."

"However, from a common sense point of view, even if Xiaojie and Zhang Ban have nothing to do with each other, Zhang's parents must feel a little regretful in their hearts. As for a wicked mother-in-law who has no scruples like my grandma, then daughter-in-law, you just wait for her confinement to meet her storm, fourth aunt is the best example!"

Thinking back when Mrs. Liu gave birth to three daughters in one go, Mrs. Tan almost knocked off the roof of the Westinghouse.

It's just that Mrs. Liu has a big heart, and she should eat and drink as usual. If she were another daughter-in-law, she might suffer from postpartum depression.

Xiaoduo was dumbfounded.

Yang Ruoqing raised her head and glanced at Xiaoduo, and said: "Boys and girls are the flesh that fell from their own bodies. No matter what others think of them, first of all we should not be influenced by other people's attitudes. Look at our parents, the first-born If you leave me, you're still a silly girl, why don't you hold me in your palm under the pressure of all parties?"

Xiaoduo came back to her senses and nodded vigorously, "Yes, my baby is in pain, if I don't even care about myself, then the baby will be really pitiful!"

Hearing about Xiaojie's birth, looking at Xiaoduo in front of her, and thinking about Xiaohua far away in the capital, Yang Ruoqing was filled with emotion.

Time flies so fast, she still sees the three of them when they were young, seven or eight year old girls get together to learn sewing every day, chirping like a flock of little sparrows.

With a blink of an eyelid, they all have children now, and the youngest, Xiaoduo, will get married in a few months. When did they all grow up?ah?

The food was half cooked, and Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Sun went into the kitchen hand in hand.

Seeing the two sisters cooking, Mrs. Sun was not surprised at all. This is the advantage of having a daughter. They are careful, and they can think of these tasks without telling them.

"Qing'er, Duo'er, I discussed with your aunt earlier, we plan to go to Zhang's house to see Xiaojie in three days." Sun said.

For this decision, Xiaoduo naturally applauded.

But Yang Ruoqing, as a person who has been there, is also well versed in the customs and habits of this area. She was a little surprised to hear that Sun and Da Sun, who had always followed the customs the most, made such a decision.

Under normal circumstances, the visit is scheduled on the ninth day, mainly considering two points.

That is, the mother has just given birth to a child, her body is weak, and the trauma below her body has not recovered in time.

At this time, if guests come to visit at home, it will be a burden for the mother.

On the other hand is the newborn.

A newborn has just come into this world, out of the protection of the mother, she has to rely on her senses to adapt to this new world.

Newborns are very fragile and sensitive, so it is not appropriate to take them out to be watched by relatives and friends at this time.

"Auntie, mother, don't we all pay attention to visiting our mother's family when we take the ninth bath? By the way, the gift of giving birth to a child, why did you two come six days earlier?" she asked.

Mrs. Sun glanced at Mrs. Sun, who said, "I really can't wait. It will take nine days to go. I'm so anxious!"

Yang Ruoqing is both a mother and a daughter, and she deeply understands Da Sun's mood at this moment.

Xiaojie is her daughter. Xiaojie is the first to give birth to a child, so she doesn't understand many things.

Although Xiaojie's mother-in-law will take care of Xiaojie, but mother-in-law is mother-in-law after all, and she is not as careful as her own mother-in-law, and there are some things that are inconvenient for her mother-in-law to do, but it is fine for her own mother-in-law to do Considered.

That's why Dasun rushed to Zhang's house to visit Xiaojie.
