When Li Cuihua heard Wang Yanhong say this, she smiled even more and said happily, "Okay, okay, then I'll borrow your good wishes. I hope I can give birth to a big fat boy next year."
After a brief greeting, Li Cuihua looked at the children again, her eyes full of love and tenderness.
She gently touched the children's hands and feet, feeling their warmth, as if she saw hope for the future. Finally, she left with a satisfied heart.
On the way home, Ge Xiuxiu looked at Li Cuihua's excited face and couldn't help but feel funny. She couldn't help but joked:
"Sister-in-law, you look like you're pregnant."
When Li Cuihua heard this, she couldn't stop smiling, her face filled with happiness. As she smiled, she said, "It's hard to say, maybe I will really get this blessing."
As she spoke, Li Cuihua's eyes sparkled with anticipation, as if she had already begun to envision her future life. Ge Xiuxiu smiled beside her, feeling happy for Li Cuihua.
After Ge Xiuxiu left, Qin Wan opened the red envelope and saw that there was actually five dollars inside.
Remember, that was the 1970s! Although five yuan may not seem like a lot now, it had quite a lot of purchasing power back then, almost equivalent to 500 yuan today!
Qin Wan couldn't help but gasp and said quickly:
"Oh, that's too much! Auntie, could you please go to the service center, buy something with these five dollars, and then send it to Sister Ge's house. We can't take advantage of this!"
Aunt Zhang nodded without hesitation, stood up, took the money and turned to leave.
She expressed her strong support for Qin Wan's approach. After all, Qin Wan was still young and might not have heard those rumors; while she was older and had more experience, so she naturally understood the reasoning.
It turns out there's a folk saying that newborn babies bring good fortune, and if someone wants to share in some of that good fortune, they can get close to the baby. Just like Wang Yanhong did just now, everyone thought it was okay.
However, if the money is accepted, it means that a causal relationship is established, which will have a certain impact on the child.
Generally speaking, if it was just a little bit, it would not be a problem; but now Li Cuihua gave too much, which was obviously greedy.
Aunt Zhang felt somewhat resentful of Li Cuihua, thinking she was being dishonest. She had given five yuan straight away, wasn't she trying to rip her off? Fortunately, Wanwan was open-minded and didn't want to take advantage of her; otherwise, wouldn't she have fallen into her trap?
But then he thought again that maybe Li Cuihua was young and didn't understand these etiquette at all, so he didn't care anymore.
After arriving at the service center, Aunt Zhang looked around, unsure what to buy. Finally, following the waiter's suggestion, she spent five yuan on some White Rabbit candies and carried them to Ge Xiuxiu's house.
Li Cuihua was helping Ge Xiuxiu cook at the time, so she naturally refused. Aunt Zhang smiled and said:
"Cuihua, you'd better accept it. You don't know that we Wanwan hate to take advantage of others. You gave us so much money, there's no doubt that we Wanwan won't accept it. Just have the intention, don't go through all the formalities."
Li Cuihua smiled awkwardly, but she felt very regretful in her heart. If she had known this, she might as well not have given so much money.
After delivering the candies, Aunt Zhang walked towards Qin Wan's house without stopping.
Along the way, Aunt Zhang walked very fast, her feet as fast as the wind.
A soldier's wife came over and saw Aunt Zhang walking so fast. She couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Aunt Zhang, why are you leaving in such a hurry? What happened?"
Aunt Zhang walked quickly, waving her hands and saying:
"No, nothing! I just thought Sibao might wake up soon, so I had to go back and make some milk powder for him."
After saying that, he continued walking quickly without looking back.
Sure enough, when Aunt Zhang opened the door, she saw Qin Wan busy making milk powder for the children.
Aunt Zhang hurried over, first opened the small package containing the four treasures and examined them carefully.
If a child is found to have defecated or urinated, Aunt Zhang will skillfully change their diaper and rewrap them;
If not, just wrap the kids up again and make sure they are comfortable and warm.
Then she squeezes a drop of milk from the bottle and drips it onto the back of her hand to test whether the prepared milk powder is hot. If the temperature is right, she will hand the bottle to the child and let them hold it and drink the milk.
It’s strange to say, these children are not even a month old, but they can already drink milk from the bottle by themselves.
Whenever she talked about this, Aunt Zhang became very excited. She said that she had looked after many children over the years, but this was the first time she had seen four children as smart and capable as these.
After the children finished their milk, Qin Wan and Second Auntie entertained them for a while. When they saw that the children fell asleep again, they quietly left them.
At this time, Aunt Zhang looked up at the sky. The sunlight was already slanting into the yard. She looked at the clock hanging on the wall and saw that the hour hand quietly pointed to a little after eleven o'clock in the morning.
She put down her work and started preparing lunch.
She plans to make noodle soup at noon today.
She had prepared noodles, vegetables, chicken, onions, ginger, garlic, salt, light soy sauce, cooking wine, chicken essence, pepper, sesame oil, cooking oil and other ingredients early on, so cooking was really easy for her.
I saw her first wash the chicken and cut it into small pieces, put it into the pot and add appropriate amount of water, then add onion, ginger, garlic, cooking wine and other seasonings, cook until the chicken is cooked, then take it out and set aside.
