Chapter 65 Wish Come True

Yang Jinsheng rubbed his eyes and said vaguely: "I know, Mom, you go!"

Seeing her youngest son's vague look, Sun Erni was still a little worried. She rubbed his face vigorously, but it was not enough, so she slapped his face a few times and then asked, "Are you awake now? I told you to take good care of my eldest grandson. If anything happens, I will skin you alive."

Yang Jinsheng was now completely awake. He touched his red face and said helplessly, "Mom, I'm awake now. Go ahead and don't worry!"

After hearing this, Sun Erni felt relieved and hurried home with the thermos.

As soon as I entered the yard, I ran into a neighbor who had gotten up early. She subconsciously straightened her chest and walked in slowly, deliberately stepping heavily.

Sure enough, it attracted the attention of the neighbors who were just about to brush their teeth and wash their faces. Everyone asked, "Er Ni, I just came back from the hospital. How is it? Did your third daughter-in-law give birth?"

"Then he must have been born. It's been such a long time since nine o'clock last morning, and Nezha has been born." Before Sun Erni could reply, someone at the side couldn't wait to say.

"Yes, it should be born. Erni, what is it? A boy or a girl."

"Haha, look at Erni's expression. She stands so straight. He must be the eldest grandson. Am I right, Erni?"

Sun Erni tried her best to suppress the corners of her mouth, and replied with a smug look in her eyes: "A boy, 15 pounds and 2 ounces, a big fat boy, but he has made my family very upset."

"Oh, congratulations, Erni. You've finally got what you've been waiting for." As soon as Sun Erni said this, everyone smiled and congratulated her. They were all neighbors, and it was a happy thing for anyone to have a baby, let alone Sun Erni, who had been looking forward to having a grandson for so long.

"Yes, Erni, then you must celebrate well."

Sun Erni glanced and saw Xu Baoju leaning on the railing on the second floor. She raised her voice and said, "Of course. Just wait for me to bring you some red eggs."

"That's great, Erni, we're waiting for you."

Xu Baoju, who was on the second floor, saw Sun Erni talking to her, and she got angry. Humph, having a grandson is so great, showing off like this, aren't you afraid that your blessings won't be enough to suppress it?

Then he ran back to the house angrily and shouted towards his son Chen Chao's room: "Why don't you get up? You're all just waiting for food, right?"

Chen Chao and his wife in the room turned over and continued to sleep, and no one paid any attention to Xu Baoju.

Sun Erni happily went upstairs, opened the door of her room and walked in. She was even more satisfied when she saw the fresh crucian carp and tofu that had been prepared in the kitchen.

"Mom, why are you back? I said I would send the crucian carp soup to the hospital after it was ready." At this time, Su Qiuyan, who had just put on her clothes, walked into the kitchen.

"No need for you, I'll do it myself, you go back to work. The second brother is really reliable, he knew to buy a piece of tofu even before I asked him to, he is really a qualified uncle. By the way, how much is the total price for the fish and tofu? I'll give it to you now."

Sun Erni was in a very good mood now. She asked Su Qiuyan while lighting the coal stove.

Su Qiuyan shook her head. "Jinwei queued up to buy it before dawn, but he only bought one. After buying it, he went to work. He was on the early shift today, so I don't know how much it cost."

"Then wait a minute, and ask him when he comes back."

Sun Erni quickly copied yesterday's actions, and soon a pot of steaming crucian carp soup was ready. She thought about it and took the fish out of the pot and put it on a plate, then mashed it with a spoon and threw it back into the pot, then boiled it for five minutes before filtering out the fish soup with a fine strainer.

Su Qiuyan, who was standing by, glanced at the fish residue left in the pot and asked, "Mom, what should we do with the fish residue?"

At this time, Sun Erni picked up another clay pot and put the filtered fish soup into it. She turned her head and asked, "Where's the porridge? Where's the porridge I asked you to cook yesterday?"

Su Qiuyan was shocked and stammered, "Mom, I'm so sorry, I forgot. I went to bed too late last night and the child was making a fuss again..."

As I said, Sun Erni was in a good mood today, and she was not angry. She just went back to her room and took out a handful of fine noodles from the cabinet.

"Forget it, I'll just put some noodles in the fish soup for Xinbai later! It's fine food, it won't hurt your throat if you eat more, and it will also produce more milk."

After Sun Erni finished speaking, she heard Xu Fengni's voice coming from upstairs. She turned around and ordered, "Qiuyan, watch the fish soup in the casserole. Don't put the noodles in yet. Wait for me to come back." After saying that, she ran upstairs without even taking off her apron.

Li Huifen, who had been in the room for a long time overwhelmed by the aroma of fish soup, also got up when she heard her mother-in-law walk out. She walked to the casserole in her slippers and said, "Fish soup is cooked so early in the morning. It smells so good! And there are thin noodles. My third sister-in-law is so lucky. I didn't have this treatment when I gave birth to Zhenzhen."

Su Qiuyan glanced at Li Huifen and reminded her, "We forgot that mom asked us to make porridge yesterday, so she made noodles for Xinbai." The implication was that the noodles could have been skipped, it was all their fault for oversleeping.

"..." Li Huifen didn't say anything. She just remembered that she hadn't cooked porridge yet, so she hid in her room and didn't dare to come out!

Upstairs, as soon as Sun Erni entered the Zhao family, she pulled Xu Fengni aside and whispered, "Fengni, do you have any extra egg coupons at home? Or can you find someone to exchange them for me?"

"Why do you need so many eggs? Didn't you prepare the food that Xinbai needs for her confinement? By the way, has Xinbai given birth? I can tell from the way you look that it's a son. Finally, your wish has come true." Xu Fengni joked with a smile.

"Oh, it's all good. It doesn't matter what kind of baby you have."

"Well, you're lying to me. You're such a boring person." Xu Fengni rolled her eyes at her.

"Hey, isn't this about keeping a low profile? Please ask about the eggs for me. I plan to give two red eggs to every household in our building, and then grab a handful of fruit candy. That will look great, right?"

"Oh, that must be beautiful. Okay, I'll keep an eye on it for you. Can you calculate how many eggs are needed?"

Sun Erni counted on her fingers, "Let's just give it to our building. There are six households on each floor, and there are five floors in total, so that means thirty households, two eggs per household, and a total of sixty eggs are needed. If there are some extra eggs, seventy will be fine, so you can give a few more."

"Okay, you're being generous this time. If I'm going to pay you, I think you'd better go to the village to exchange eggs and pick the smaller ones, so that you can get one or two more eggs per pound. Then use the egg ticket to buy the ones you're not allowed to pick at the supply and marketing cooperative."

"Yes, you are right. I still need to trouble you to pay attention. I have been busy cooking for Xinbai these days, and the few people at home are not able to help. You know a lot of people, so please ask for me."

"Okay, leave it to me." Xu Fengni agreed immediately. She actually knew a few people whose families lived in the village below, so she thought they could get together.
