Chi Yu didn't say anything, just smiled at him, then picked up Zhuangzhuang and asked the two younger ones.

"Ah Guang and Ah Li, are you going to stay here with your second uncle to watch the shop, or are you going to the kitchen with your aunt to find your mother?"

The two little ones naturally preferred the kitchen with its aroma of food, and immediately abandoned their second uncle, who was playing with them, to follow their great-aunt.

When Chi Yu arrived at the kitchen, she happened to see Liu Lingling take out a wad of money from her sleeve and hand it to Liu Mei.

"Second sister-in-law, go to Tie Niu's house and see if they still have any chickens to sell."

If you have any, buy more. I'll kill one in a bit so I can make soup for Mom.

If not, go ask the clan chief.

I remember that several families in our village raised them.

It was just too cold that day, and the chickens refused to lay eggs. I wonder if they were killed.

If there's really none of that, then forget it.

By the way, if anyone asks why you need to buy chickens, just make up any excuse.

Don't tell anyone that our mother fainted from the cold while out.

To save everyone from having to come and visit in this freezing weather!

"good!"

Liu Mei took the money, nodded to Chi Yu, and left. Liu Lingling, however, pointed at the pot and asked:

"Auntie, I'll cook some porridge for Zhuangzhuang first. Is there anything you'd like to eat tonight?"

My aunt's family has plenty of rice, flour, oil, and salt, as well as even more vegetables and meat, giving them a huge variety of cooking options.

So much so that she didn't know what to do for a moment, and in the end she could only cook some porridge with fine rice for the younger one.

"Let's eat noodles, it's simpler and faster."

By the way, make some more.

Later, when your mother wakes up, I'll make her a bowl of noodle soup.

"good!"

As soon as a fish in the pond opened its mouth, Liu Lingling immediately began scooping out noodles.

When Chi Yu saw that she was planning to use coarse flour, he said, "Ah Ye's wife, there is still cornmeal in the cupboard. Try using half cornmeal and half wheat flour."

Liu Lingling hesitated upon hearing this, as she had known about the cornmeal since it arrived on the very first day.

She wasn't sure if it was because of the finer texture, but the price wasn't much cheaper than plain flour, so she was a little reluctant to spend the money.

But this thing belongs to my aunt, and since she's already asked for it, I definitely have to do as she asks.

While Liu Lingling was cooking, Chi Yu sat on the fire-starting stool to help stoke the fire.

Ah-Guang and Ah-Li sat next to her by the fire.

Thinking about what happened to her sister today, she glanced at Ali and said, seemingly casually:

"After the Little New Year, Ali will be three years old, right?"

Liu Lingling didn't know why her aunt was asking about this, so she went along with it and replied:

"Yes, Ali and Guang were born in the same year, just at the beginning and end of the year respectively."

After Ali celebrates his third birthday, the next day, on the sixth day of the new year, will be A-Guang's fourth birthday.

Yes, although Chi Ye and Liu Lingling's sons are the same age according to the traditional Chinese age reckoning, they are not twins.

Two little ones, one born in the first month of the lunar calendar and the other in the twelfth month!

Chi Yu suddenly understood why her sister had suddenly gone out into the wind and snow.

Around noon, Liu Mei mentioned that if they had straw mats at home, Liu Lingling didn't say anything, but her expression clearly showed that she agreed.

She and her sister were transmigrated into the book, using the original owner's identity, and subconsciously wanted to be good to the people the original owner cared about.

The original owner of this body cared about her child and her family.

The older sister's family consists of her younger sister-in-law and her children and grandchildren.

So, with her grandchildren's birthdays approaching, as a grandmother, she wants to give gifts that the children can use and that her daughter-in-law will also be satisfied with.

I gave you two taels of silver before, so it's impossible for me to give you any more now.
