The Ma family’s full moon banquet had 28 tables, and the food was prepared and delivered by Siqi Farm.
Many people come to the Ma family an hour before the meal starts. The red envelopes for congratulations are handed over, touched, and then returned, but gifts are generally accepted (diapers, fruits, clothes, chickens, pig's trotters, etc.).
In addition, red envelopes given to baby girls are also accepted. The amount is generally not large, ranging from 10 yuan to 100 yuan. This is a local custom.
So Su Tiantian felt that even if she attended three weddings a month, there would be no pressure to receive red envelopes.
Her good friend Deng Qiaoyi gave her a gold necklace when she got married, and she also gave her a gold necklace of even heavier weight in return. Although she did not attend the wedding banquet, she still showed her courtesy.
In addition to two boxes of diapers (two boxes of diapers are considered a generous gift in the local area, as many people only buy one or two packs of diapers), Su Tiantian gave the baby girl a red envelope of 100 yuan and placed it in the baby girl's little hand.
The baby girl's mother, Su Tiantian's second cousin Wu Yanfen, picked up the red envelope and put it away, then said, "Tiantian, do you want to hug the baby girl?"
Su Tiantian shook her head: "I won't hold you anymore, Brother Jing, will you hold me?"
Liu Jingze waved his hands: "I don't know how to hold it. It's so small and pink and so cute."
Second cousin Ma Yiqian skillfully held the baby girl and said proudly, "When she was born, she was only 5.8 jins. She was so tiny. I didn't dare to hold her, but now I do. You two can learn in advance."
Su Tiantian said, "Second cousin, hasn't the baby girl changed her name yet?"
Ma Yiqian said, "I changed it, but my father and father-in-law are not satisfied. Let them discuss it for two more days. I have to go and get the birth certificate."
Wu Yanfen said, "Tiantian, hurry up and have a baby, so you can play with your cousin together."
The cousin she was referring to was of course the one her husband was holding in his arms, her baby daughter, who was sleeping soundly.
Ma Yiqian was very proud: "Come to think of it, I am half a year younger than Jingze. I used to call him Brother Jing, but I didn't expect that I got married earlier than him, had children earlier than him, and am even older than him in terms of seniority."
Liu Jingze said: "I am willing to marry Tian Tian's sister and call you my second cousin, but the fact that you gave birth to a child earlier than me is not worth bragging about."
Ma Yiqian said unconvincedly: "Why is it not worth showing off? Don't look at me just giving birth to a daughter. In our Ma family, a daughter is also the apple of our eye."
Liu Jingze looked around the room and saw that there were only four of them, no, five, and a baby girl. He said proudly, "Because Tiantian is pregnant with twins, I haven't told any other relatives except my father-in-law and his family."
Ma Yiqian was stunned. The two were about the same age, and their fathers were good friends, so they were always compared. Liu Jingze finally married his cousin, making her his cousin in an instant. She also had a child earlier than him, but he couldn't show off.
Wu Yanfen said, "No wonder Tiantian doesn't want to hold the baby. I remember you used to love holding the baby. Come on, sit down and get more rest. Judging from the date of your wedding, you haven't been pregnant for long."
Su Tiantian said: "Seven weeks, so few people know about it. Brother Jing can't help but talk."
Ma Yiqian came back to his senses: "It's me, I can't help it either. Twins, none of our three families have ever had twins. That's great, Jingze, you have to take good care of Tiantian."
In the past, he had to call him Brother Jing, but now Liu Jingze is his cousin-in-law, so it is reasonable to just call him Jingze.
Liu Jingze said: "Tiantian is the most important person in the Liu family now." The implication is that he will definitely take good care of Tiantian.
There was a knock on the door, and then Su Caifen's voice came: "Yiqian, Afen, bring the baby girl out, the guests are almost here."
Liu Jingze said, "Let's go out. Don't talk about Tiantian's pregnancy."
Ma Yiqian said, "I see. It was obviously you who couldn't help but say it."
Wu Yanfen said, "It won't be hidden for long anyway. Tiantian, will you vomit after eating?"
Su Tiantian said: "I vomit several times a day. I eat a meal, vomit a lot, eat again, and then I stop vomiting."
Ma Yiqian came to his senses: "I understand now. No wonder Uncle Liu asked Dad to reserve a table in the small living room on the second floor."
Wu Yanfen said, "Tiantian, your current situation is indeed difficult. What's wrong with leaving some extra food? Tiantian, if you have any questions, just ask me. I've been through this before."
Su Tiantian said: "Thank you, second cousin's wife."
At the Ma family's full moon banquet, grandfather Ma Yuguang was of course happy. Liu Liangjie, Su Jinyuan and other friends and relatives accompanied him. They toasted at every table and drank quite a lot of wine.
The three brothers Ma Yiqian also brought their brothers to toast at each table.
Liu Jingze and Su Tiantian heard a lot of talk about urging them to have a baby while they were having dinner. What could they do? They just agreed to it. They were already pregnant, but they just didn't tell them for the time being.
