"What’s wrong?"
ng Yuhuai was not affected by her mood and remained steadily seated on the stone stool, rely glancing at her face, "What’s the matter?"
"Oh dear!" Hua Xiaomai stamped her feet repeatedly, "Yesterday was the opening day. My second sister ca in the afternoon saying she had sothing to tell . She hadn’t even started speaking when Dong Deyou and Lv Bin arrived, and my sister had to leave first. Now that I think about it, she seed to really have sothing important to say. I should have asked her at the ti, but these past two days have been so busy that I completely forgot! What if it was urgent? Wouldn’t that have been delayed because of ?"
ng Yuhuai rubbed his forehead helplessly, "I thought it was sothing serious, you really gave a scare. It’s too late now, in the entire Fire Knife Village, except for our house, I doubt anyone else is still awake. Tomorrow morning, I’ll accompany you to the Jing Family old mansion. You and your sisters can talk; I won’t interfere. I’ll just drop you off. Nowadays, with two main cooks and your sisters-in-law, Chun Xi and La i looking after things, you don’t need to rush over here in a panic."
That was all that could be done...
"Okay." Hua Xiaomai nodded. Having sat by the pond for too long and feeling a bit cold from the breeze, she stood up and gently shook ng’s old mother a couple of tis.
"Mother, let’s go ho and rest, be careful not to catch a cold."
While speaking, she tidily draped ng Yuhuai’s clothes over her shoulders and the three of them headed back to the southern part of the village.
The next day, before ng Yuhuai went to Lianshun Escort Agency, he indeed led Hua Xiaomai to the Jing Family old mansion, gave her a few instructions, then with old Black, he headed towards Fuzhe County.
At that mont, the second Madam Hua had just sent Jing Taihe out the door and was in the room breastfeeding little Tie Chui when Hua Xiaomai entered the courtyard and happened to see the old Jing woman feeding chickens under the wall, so she called out to her.
"Oh, Xiaomai is here?" The old Jing woman seed to be in a good mood today, seeing her, she imdiately broke into a big smile, "Hey, girl, we haven’t seen each other for what, just over half a month? Your belly is really starting to show! Tsk tsk, you look healthier than when you were a maiden!"
"It’s my mother-in-law who has been looking after diligently." Hua Xiaomai smiled in response and looked towards the east wing, "Grandma, is my second sister at ho?"
"She is!" The old Jing woman casually pointed, "Go, go sit and talk freely with your sister. I’ll see if there’s anything to eat at ho. Pregnant won get hungry easily, I heard from your mother-in-law that you have a good appetite too. My cooking skills can’t compare to yours, but it’s still good enough to fill your stomach."
"No need, Grandma, I’ve already eaten..." Hua Xiaomai tried to stop her but saw her hurry into the kitchen, and could only sigh, turning back she saw the second Madam Hua poking her head out from the room.
"Co in, don’t just stand there." The second Madam Hua waved at Hua Xiaomai, "Tie Chui has had his milk and is asleep, let’s keep our voices low."
Thus, Hua Xiaomai walked over, squinted her eyes, and whispered with a suppressed voice, "Grandma is in such a good mood today, showing such warmth to ; this is really the first ti ever! What did you give her?"
"What good could I have given her?" The second Madam Hua seed not too pleased about it, glanced towards the kitchen, and muttered sothing as she pulled Hua Xiaomai into the room.
The room with a little baby usually had a certain sll, apart from the scent of milk on the child, there was also a faint odor of... diapers...
In the past, Hua Xiaomai might not have cared, but now her mood was completely different.
She thought, in a few months, their room with ng Yuhuai would probably also be overrun by this odor, right?
She couldn’t help but giggle, which was caught by the second Madam Hua who playfully slapped her on the shoulder, chiding, "What are you being silly about? Is there anything good in my house to make you this happy?"
"No." Hua Xiaomai quickly straightened up and curved her mouth, "The day before yesterday you ca to see , was there sothing you needed? It’s been very hectic since the opening, I’d completely pushed it to the back of my mind. Last night, I finally rembered and hurried over to ask."
"I did have sothing to tell you." The second Madam Hua sat down across from her in a chair, sowhat uncomfortably fiddling with her fingers, "I suppose Yuhuai has told you, your brother-in-law is preparing to set up a blacksmith shop in the county. He isn’t very good at looking after himself, so I thought I’d go with him. I may not be of much help with the shop work, but at least I can manage his daily life well."
