"Anyone can make handmade dolls." Tang Yue felt tired from walking and sat down on a chair in the yard, saying, "Sister-in-law Liu, how is Xiao Song? I heard he was sick last ti."
"He’s completely better now, and he’s able to run and jump. I also want to thank you for the milk powder you sent." Jiang Lan looked at Tang Yue gratefully; the can of milk powder was sothing Xiao Song really enjoyed drinking, and it helped him recover a lot. Now that it’s sumr, he’s been well for quite a long ti without getting sick.
"You’re welco. I should be thanking you for the eggs you brought over." Tang Yue smiled, as among these sisters-in-law, she was most familiar with Jiang Lan.
In the courtyard, everyone sat around in a circle, with a small table in the center. Zhang Hualian enthusiastically served apples, grapes, waterlon, as well as snacks like lon seeds and peanuts.
When three won get together, it’s a lively conversation; with eight won, it’s even more dynamic, chatting in all directions.
"I think you might be having a boy and a girl."
"It’s also possible that you have two boys."
The sisters-in-law were very curious about the twins in Tang Yue’s belly. Those who had children admired Tang Yue for being able to have two at once. Those who hadn’t had children yet hoped they could be like Tang Yue, especially since they were only allowed to have one child now.
If it were another job, paying a hefty fine could allow them to have another child, but the size of the fine was not small and they dared not risk it.
"Whether they’re boys or girls, I just hope they arrive safely and healthily." Tang Yue placed her hand on her belly, her face soft with a smile. The sun filtered through the leaves and shone on her face, making her appear even more beautiful than before.
It is often said that comparing oneself to others can be frustrating, and it’s true. When they were pregnant and giving birth, not only did they gain weight, but they also had to wear n’s clothes, their mother-in-law’s clothes, or alter so old clothes. Not like Tang Yue, who wore a long skirt with ruffles and a high-waisted elastic design that made her pregnant belly feel completely unburdened.
As for Tang Yue, although she had beco a bit more round, compared to her previous frail self, she seed even more attractive. Her dress looked so nice, not just for pregnancy, but even better than what they wore on regular days.
Tang Yue had a calm and gentle nature. Her words were also easy-going and made people feel close, and even though everyone felt a bit of jealousy for not quite matching up to Tang Yue, this slowly faded away because of her gentle nature. Especially since Tang Yue was very accommodating.
It didn’t matter if Mo Siyu was Mo Si or ng Siyu; Tang Yue treated all her sisters-in-law the sa way.
The lunch prepared by Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian had a variety of rich dishes, making the sisters-in-law feel even more embarrassed.
They brought little things that weren’t worth much money, while the dishes on the table seed quite expensive. Beef, mutton, and chicken — those few aty dishes were things they usually couldn’t afford to eat.
"I feel very happy that all of you could co to see . Please enjoy this simple al without reservation." Tang Yue smiled as she invited them to sit, saying, "My dad runs a restaurant, and his cooking is really good."
These words from Tang Yue imdiately caught everyone’s attention.
The al was joyous for both host and guest. When everyone left, Tang Yue deliberately handed a bag to Jiang Lan, asking her to distribute it to each of the sisters-in-law.
The items in the bag included a denim bag that Tang Yue had personally made. The bag wasn’t large, and it was simple to make. There was plenty of denim fabric at ho, which she used to make ten or so, planning to give a few to everyone who ca over.
This denim bag was easy to make and was also a gesture of goodwill.
When the sisters-in-law received these denim bags, they were so surprised they were speechless, praising Tang Yue abundantly. Even Ruan Xiuxiu was full of complints, cuddling the denim bag tightly; today, she ca with thick skin and certainly didn’t lose out.
The denim bag looked nice, and it was perfect for carrying around when going out.
No one knew how Tang Yue managed it, but even with a simple denim bag, under her skillful hands, each had different patterns. So looked like cute versions of dolls, getting more delightful the more one looked at them; for those slightly older, the bag patterns included flowers.
This al unexpectedly earned Tang Yue a good na, and simultaneously, these denim bags prompted many people to ask if they were for sale. When learning that Tang Yue made them herself, everyone was even more surprised.
Tang Yue gave away five or six more, then handed all her designs to Tang Mingli, indicating a slight modification in patterns. This denim bag might not start a denim bag craze.
In the afternoon, Tang Zhengde received a call from Mo Siyu, saying a few comrades were coming over.
Coincidentally, Tang Yue heard about Sun Qing and the others moving house, so she invited them over as well.
Not only Sun Qing and her sisters but also Xin Jiar and Peng Yufei ca over. Tang Mingli and his wife were naturally also along for the gathering, making the evening quite lively.
"Little sister-in-law, you’ve truly inherited your dad’s cooking skills." Zhao Xiangqian said as he bit into a chicken leg.
Originally, they hadn’t been over to eat Tang Yue’s cooking for quite a while and were craving it. They heard from Mo Siyu that his father-in-law Tang Zhengde ran a restaurant, so they insisted on coming over for a al.
Since the little sister-in-law was pregnant and couldn’t cook, having a al prepared by her father was certainly acceptable.
"Yes," Tang Yue replied with a squinting smile. Although others complinted Tang Zhengde, she felt a sense of pride.
Good dishes naturally co with good drinks, and since Zhao Xiangqian and the others rarely had free ti today, they drank quite a bit. After drinking, Zhao Xiangqian’s face flushed slightly red, and he praised Sun Qing: "You look really good."
Sun Qing almost spat out the soup she was drinking upon hearing this.
Li Wei quickly tugged at Zhao Xiangqian, trying to smooth things over: "He’s had too much to drink."
"Pfft~"
Tang Yue tried hard to suppress her laughter, struggling not to burst out. Li Wei’s words implied that if he was speaking drunk nonsense, did that an Sun Qing wasn’t good-looking?
In fact, what surprised Tang Yue was that Zhao Xiangqian praised Sun Qing rather than Sun Rou.
Sun Rou was undeniably pretty, but Zhao Xiangqian praised Sun Qing instead. The aning behind it was obvious. Tang Yue silently observed Sun Qing, who seed only shy, without any further thoughts. Tang Yue decided to say nothing; if they were ant to be, they’d naturally have more interactions.
anwhile, Sun Rou seed to notice sothing, occasionally observing Sun Qing and Zhao Xiangqian.
"Aren’t you sending them back?" Tang Yue asked ng Siyu when she saw him return after taking three of their guests back. Why had he co back?
"There’s no need, they can return by themselves, so don’t worry," ng Siyu said, supporting Tang Yue as they walked slowly in the courtyard. "Was the baby good today?"
