"Okay, of course! Auntie, don't overthink it. We're just so happy to hear you're pregnant!"
My aunt, the daughter of the village chief, is of average appearance, but she is very considerate in her dealings with others. She has been married into the Zhao family for so many years and has never had a quarrel with anyone.
"Yes, yes! Her aunt, you must be tired after sitting in the oxcart for so long. Xiaoqiu, come on, help your aunt to your girls' room to rest for a while!"
Xiaoqiu is Zhao Qiu, the eldest daughter of my second uncle. She is thirteen years old. The Zhao family is large and has many children. When each family could no longer accommodate them, they built two houses on the side, one for the boys and the other for the girls.
"Oh my! His aunt came over and brought so many good things! She just sent some meat a few days ago, and she brought more meat today. The Liu family is getting rich!"
"Okay, you're the only one with a broken mouth, why are you the only one spouting whatever comes out of your mouth?"
Third uncle Zhao Nan glared at third aunt and reached out to take Nuan Bao down from the ox cart.
My third aunt wanted to say something, but she was glared at by my grandmother and my third uncle. She could only bite her lip and shrink aside with a wronged look on her face.
Fourth Uncle Zhao Bei was two years older than Nuan Ma. His wife was an orphan who had fled famine some time ago. She was rather timid and always kept her head down. Now, she huddled behind Fourth Uncle Zhao Bei and uttered something in a whisper.
Nuan Ma had come to stay for a day two days ago and had become accustomed to Fourth Sister-in-law's behavior. She glanced at her and followed Grandma and the others into the house.
"Mom, you didn't go to work today!"
"I've taken a day off today. Your fourth brother's wife got married in such haste that she doesn't even have her own house. She's been living with the maids since she came to our house! I thought, while the fields are not busy these few days, I'd like you brothers to take a day off and get a house."
"Then I came at the perfect time. Come on, I'll help you guys out!"
Nuan's father and several uncles moved all the things in. He wiped his sweat off his forehead, grinned, and talked with a big smile.
"What are you doing? It's just a small job, they can do it. The third brother finally came here, take a break. Baoer, you must be tired, grandma will get you something delicious!"
Grandma didn't even look at the things on the kang. She took the warm bottle and went to the mahogany cabinet on the ground, opened the cabinet door, and took out a large piece of peach cake.
"Are you hungry? Come, have some peach cakes first!"
Third aunt stared at Taosu with her eyes fixed on her. The sound of her swallowing saliva was so loud that even Nuanbao had difficulty pretending not to hear it.
As my third uncle watched, the veins on his forehead popped out.
"Mom, didn't my mother-in-law say the cherries were ripe a few days ago? Why don't you go pick some for Nuan Bao to try!"
"Why?! When you eat cherries, you think of my mother's home. But when you eat delicious food, why don't you think of my mother's home?"
Third aunt's muttering was quite loud, and everyone in the room could hear it clearly.
The faces of the uncles all darkened. The third uncle even stood up from his stool and walked towards her, looking like he wanted to punish her.
"Uncle San, don't get angry. It's not worth it. It's just a cherry. I really don't want to eat it. It's not big. I ordered one. After peeling it, only the core is left. Dad, we brought some apples. Let's take them out and let everyone taste them."
When Nuan's father heard this, he happily rummaged through the backpack, then took out one big apple after another and placed them neatly on the edge of the kang.
"Why is this apple so big? It must be so precious!"
The grandmother picked up an apple with a curious look on her face, and smelled the tempting fragrance of the apple, and couldn't help but click her tongue twice?
"Tsk tsk tsk, this rare thing is obviously not easy to get! Quick, pretend to eat it. If Xiaoqin wants to vomit, she will definitely stop after eating a few bites."
