Tian Dazhu's house was right next to Yang Liu's. Li Dazui was afraid that it would be embarrassing if she visited without permission, so she felt hard in her trouser pockets and pulled out the few shriveled broad beans that were left over. She held them in her hands and then walked over with joy.
Yang Liu thought that she had nothing to do recently, so she made an appointment with her elder sister to come to her house today to help her make some clothes.
By the time her belly gets bigger, she won’t be able to wear any of her clothes, so she has to do it now.
The weather was nice today, so the two sisters moved out the small table they usually used for eating, and put all the fabrics they bought on it. In total, there were quite a lot of them.
As Yang Nan was cutting, he said, "These leftover scraps can be used to make diapers for the baby. I can also make some small clothes from these slightly larger ones."
The two of them were talking excitedly.
Li Dazui suddenly sneaked in from outside like a ghost. He picked up a piece of scrap cloth on the table and said in surprise, "Oh my God, you actually use such good cloth as a diaper? You young people nowadays really waste things."
Yang Liu and Yang Nan were frightened by her scream, especially her elder sister, who even dropped the scissors in her hand to the ground in fright.
Seeing her holding the cloth so tightly, she was reluctant to let go. The two sisters exchanged glances, and Yang Liu spoke first, "Auntie, why are you coming over to visit? My mother isn't home. She's been working in the fields."
Yang Liu's words clearly meant to expel her. The main reason was that these young people had nothing in common with Li Dazui, so there was no need for her to stay and talk.
Li Dazui waved his hand, quickly took out the broad beans in his hand and stuffed a handful into Yang Liu's hand, grinning and saying, "Girl, I heard you're pregnant, and two at once. Wow, what a blessing! So I came over out of curiosity to take a look and congratulate you, and share in your good fortune."
Yang Liu rolled her eyes silently in her heart, thinking that she was running over in such a hurry mainly because of curiosity. After hearing what she said, she couldn't chase her out, so she could only go in and pour her a cup of sugar water.
As the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you.
Although they usually don't like Li Dazui, but now she has come to congratulate her. Even if she doesn't want to deal with her in her heart, she still has to do the superficial work.
"Auntie, have some sugar water."
Li Dazui took it, took a big gulp, and was so burned.
"Hey, auntie, go slower, I'm pouring boiling water." Yang Liu really didn't expect that this person would take it and pour it directly into his mouth, as if he hadn't had water for several days. He hurriedly shouted from the side.
"It's okay, it's okay." Li Dazui waved his hands and exhaled. It was so damn hot that his mouth was about to be blistered. But thinking that it was sugar water and could not be wasted, he had to swallow it down.
Yang Liu felt embarrassed when she saw that she was seriously burned, but she swore that she really didn't mean it.
"Auntie, are you okay? How about I go get you another glass of cold water?"
"Oh, no need, I'm not that delicate."
Seeing that she was holding the cup and had no intention of leaving, Yang Nan handed her his stool.
While waiting for the sugar water to cool, Li Dazui looked at the cloth on the table and asked, "Are you going to use all this cloth to make new clothes for the children?"
Yang Liu nodded. "Not all of them are for the baby. By next spring, my belly will be even bigger, so I'm taking advantage of the time now to make two loose-fitting ones for when the time comes."
Li Dazui listened to her and said with envy: "Your kids nowadays really don't know how to live. Why do you need such fine fabrics to make clothes and diapers for your kids? You can just use worn-out old clothes and process them."
Well, if she keeps talking like this, the whole village will know that Yang Liu is a spendthrift woman by tomorrow.
She smiled and said, "Aunt is right. I also said before that I would use old clothes. But as soon as Chu Yue told his family the news, they sent so many things without any hesitation. They are all kind words from the elderly. As the younger generation, it is difficult for us to refuse. Don't you think so?"
Li Dazui drooled with envy.
But this didn't stop her from asking more questions. After drinking some sugar water to moisten her throat, she continued, "I heard you're taking that certain essence. It's only available in the capital, and it's incredibly rare. I've never seen it before in my life. Can you show it to me?"
Yang Liu was shocked. She knew that people like Li Dazui would not come here for no reason, but she didn't expect that she would come here for such a boring thing.
Seeing people craning their necks and waiting eagerly, what else could Yang Liu do?
She could only get up and go in to get it. She took out the bucket that was almost empty and showed it to her.
Before she even handed it to him, Li Dazui sat up from his chair and snatched the bucket from her hand. He looked at the bucket from left to right with uncontrollable surprise in his eyes. The key point was that she couldn't read, so it was useless for her to look at it for a long time.
"Auntie, this is malted milk. Drinking it can supplement your nutrition."
"Is it really that magical? I wonder what it tastes like?"
Yang Nan's mouth twitched as she listened, and she blinked wildly at Yang Liu.
Yang Liu smiled and said, "This was sent by Chu Yue from the capital. It's very scarce. This is all I have. Otherwise, I could make a cup for you to try."
She knew these people well. If she gave them a sweet treat once, she was afraid that they would definitely follow suit in the future and come to take advantage of her from time to time.
"I'm not lucky enough to drink something this expensive."
Seeing her sitting there with no intention of leaving, Yang Liu thought she was bored, so she chatted with her casually, "Auntie, I just heard you two chatting next door, it seemed quite interesting. What are you talking about so happily?"
Since I'm free anyway, I might as well take this opportunity to get into their gossip circle so that I can get first-hand information in the future.
"What can we talk about? It's still Zhang Guilan. She's like she's eaten a chicken's chin. She said you're pregnant, and the baby is so precious that she wants to eat all the eggs in the village."
Well, at the beginning, she told Chu Yue not to go to the village to order eggs in a big way, and to buy them directly on the black market, but the man said it was inconvenient to go to the black market.
Of course, in fact, she said this mainly because she wanted Yang Liu to order eggs from her own family. Because of the incident that Qin Meixia caused before, she came to her house to search the house. Maybe they had a prejudice against her because of this, so this time when they ordered eggs, they ordered from several families nearby, but not from her.
Yang Liu was such a smart person that she knew what Li Dazui was planning as soon as she heard this.
