"What's wrong?" When Ningxia saw the eggs in Yan Zi's hand, she understood why she came.
"Ningxia, I'm here to give you red eggs." Yan Zi gave Ningxia two red eggs. Originally, eggs were given when a son was born, and a needle was given when a daughter was born.
But her husband said that he only had these two daughters in his life and he would raise them as sons in the future.
Whatever his son gave, his daughter would give it too, so Yan Zi gave two eggs to several families living nearby.
This was a considerable expense, but Yan Zi was very happy to give it because she knew that her man cared about the three of them.
"Thank you." Ningxia took the red egg and was very surprised. This was the first time she had seen red eggs of this era.
I have heard of this rule, but now everyone can't even afford to eat, so how can they send eggs to other families?
Just as Yan Zi delivered the eggs and left, Ren Jingxiao came back and Ningxia brought out the cooked meal.
When Ren Jingxiao was washing his hands and preparing to eat, he saw Ningxia peeling a red egg, and he looked over with curiosity.
"We each got one. It was sent by Yan Zi's family. Having a baby is a big happy event, and giving red eggs to those closest to you is a way of announcing the good news. Some give it to the baby a few days after it's born, and some give it to the baby a month later. It's customary."
Seeing that Ren Jingxiao didn't understand, Ningxia stuffed the egg into his hand and ate the egg while explaining to him.
She didn't know what the custom was here, but this custom existed in many places in later generations, it just became more and more fancy, but eggs were always indispensable.
"Then when our daughter and...son are born, we will also give them this egg." Ren Jingxiao really didn't know about this custom.
He had already accepted the fact that Xia Xia was pregnant with a son. As long as the son looked like Xia Xia, that would be fine.
"Okay, we'll give it to him too." Ningxia saw that Ren Jingxiao was not so averse to talking about his son now, and thought to herself that his constant nagging during this period was still useful.
"Where can I buy this kind of red eggs?" Ren Jingxiao had never seen this kind of red eggs, whether in the supply and marketing cooperative or in the black market of Wu Ye.
"These are ordinary eggs, dyed red on the outside. I'll prepare these later. Let's eat quickly. Didn't you say you were going to the Fu and Song families?"
Ningxia saw that what he said was true, so she decided to prepare the eggs, as there was still a long way to go.
When Ren Jingxiao heard Ningxia talking about other things, he put the matter aside for the time being. Whether it was the person who would take care of Xia Xia during her confinement or the matter of the eggs, he kept them in mind and wanted to prepare them before Xia Xia gave birth.
"Okay, then let's go after we finish eating." Ren Jingxiao wanted to go quickly while it was still light so that he could come back early.
"By the way, do you think what I prepared is enough?" Ningxia took those things out of the space.
Ren Jingxiao took a quick look and found that it was richer than he had imagined. He thought that if he gave more, it would be too conspicuous.
"Xia Xia, I'll put some things in your pocket later. If our dad goes back to Beijing, it won't be as convenient to buy things here as before."
Ren Jingxiao looked at the things Ningxia brought, and realized that they were all things he had prepared to nourish her body.
"Okay, go back to Dad and buy some more. They won't go bad if they're kept in the space. If you need them, it's convenient to take them out from the space."
Ningxia didn't know that Ren Jingxiao was afraid that his father would pass away and it would be inconvenient for her to eat these in the future.
Ningxia thought he was considering the future, and it would be convenient if he wanted to use these as gifts to others.
When Ren Jingxiao brought Ningxia to the Ministry of Transport's staff quarters, he turned around and met an acquaintance.
This was Ren Jingxiao's first time here, and it was much bigger than he had imagined.
"Brother Ren, are you looking for me?" Lu Hai saw the person from a distance.
He ran over hurriedly. Brother Ren had never been here before, so he must be looking for him.
"We are here to look for Fu Erwa and Song Dagen." After Ren Jingxiao finished speaking, Lu Hai saw that Brother Ren was also with his sister-in-law, and he was holding a lot of things in his hands.
Ningxia looked at this lively person. She had seen him in the Ministry of Transport before, but she couldn't match him to her.
Only now did I see the person in person. This must be Lu Hai that Ren Jingxiao often mentioned.
When she first arrived, she saw him surrounded by a group of people. Wherever there was a hot spot, he would be there.
"Fu Erwa and Song Dagen? Then Brother Ren, I'll take you there." Lu Hai knew something vaguely, so he could understand why Ren Jingxiao came to find them.
"Sister-in-law, long time no see." Lu Hai looked at Ningxia with a playful smile as he walked.
This is Brother Ren's favorite, and he knows what Brother Ren says every time he mentions his sister-in-law.
"Hello, Lu Hai." Ningxia smiled. It seemed that she and Lu Hai had never met formally, but she said this as if they were very familiar with each other.
This was a natural greeting, and Ningxia couldn't imagine how this person could play with Ren Jingxiao.
Lu Hai saw Ningxia smile. He felt that with a sister-in-law like this, only Ren Ge could protect her. If she was more ordinary, others would have had some bad intentions.
"Brother Ren, this is the Song family. The Fu family is the fourth house on the second floor in the row in front." Lu Hai brought people to the door, pointed to the location of the Fu family, and left on his own.
He saw many acquaintances along the way. Even though they had never spoken to each other before, they all nodded politely when they saw Ren Jingxiao.
Song Dagen was very excited about Ren Jingxiao's arrival and quickly welcomed them into the house.
He had originally agreed with Erwa to go to Ren Jingxiao's house together in two days, but he didn't expect that they would arrive before they went.
"Brother Ren, sister-in-law, please come in and sit down." Song Dagen is actually two years older than Ren Jingxiao, but he is willing to call him brother.
When Song Dagen's wife heard her husband call her Brother Ren, she knew who they were and hurried into the house to pour water.
Looking at them, her face was full of gratitude. If it weren't for them, her man would definitely not have come back.
But she also knew that she couldn't tell anyone about this. She knew they were afraid of getting into trouble, so she had originally planned to go to their house secretly with her man.
"We came here to thank you. My brother Xiao was supposed to drive the car last time, but you took it instead. We've been feeling bad about it ever since."
Ningxia knew that Ren Jingxiao was not good at these things, so she handed the thing over and started talking.
"Brother Ren, sister-in-law, what are you talking about? We should be thanking you. If you hadn't saved us, we wouldn't know what would happen to us now. Besides, it wasn't Brother Ren who forced us to drive the car that day."
"It's our bad luck and those cruel brothers of the Yang family. It has nothing to do with you, Brother Ren. You can't say such things, otherwise we will be ashamed." Song Dagen hurriedly spoke after hearing what they said.
