Miao Zhen had already prepared most of the dishes, and Song Yan was finishing up the rest.
Wei Aiguo can't cook, so he helps by carrying plates and handing over knives. While helping out, he also comforts his wife.
When Wei Aiguo brought out the dishes, the family finally remembered that they had dinner.
When Miao Zhen entered the kitchen, he saw that Song Yan had finished all the work…
The atmosphere at the Miao family's house was always very good. At the dinner table, the second aunt's husband apologized to Wei Aiguo and Song Yan. He had originally wanted the two of them to come and eat, but in the end, they were the ones who did all the work.
What could Wei Aiguo say? His wife was at home, and the family didn't want her to cook because she was pregnant.
Jiang Xiaoxiao said that cooking fumes can make people vomit. That's what happened to her mother when she was pregnant with her younger sister.
In the kitchen, Wei Aiguo's main tasks were tending the fire, preparing firewood, and fetching water.
Wei Aiguo said, "Uncle, you've almost finished; there's not much left." But in his heart, he was thinking that he should go back and learn to cook! Just in case something happens, he could step in!
Third Aunt: "I'm learning to cook now. Come and try my cooking next time."
…
After leaving the Miao village, Song Yan didn't want to take the bus; she needed to digest her food.
It was already dark, and in the area without streetlights, Song Yan could boldly link arms with Wei Aiguo.
Wei Aiguo quite enjoyed Song Yan's closeness.
"Darling, thank you." This was the first time Song Yan had addressed Wei Aiguo in this way.
Wei Aiguo couldn't resist kissing Song Yan. It was dark, and no one saw. "What are you thanking me for?"
Song Yan: "You know perfectly well why I'm asking!" I thanked him for his protection and consideration.
When they came out, Wei Aiguo said to his second aunt's husband: "Second aunt, let's take your second aunt to get a check-up tomorrow."
…Xiaoyan hasn't been studying medicine for very long, and she's not a gynecologist. Don't trust her so much…
Don't be fooled by her quick wit and what she said; she won't sleep soundly at night until her second aunt gives her a definite answer.
…You see, even though she doesn't say it, she already regrets it. If she made the wrong judgment, she'll feel sorry for you all…
Wei Aiguo said a lot of things in a roundabout way, and his second aunt's family was stunned, while only his third aunt smiled with her lips pursed.
My second aunt's husband was the first to react, and he was a little embarrassed.
Wei Aiguo reminded them!
…
“I’m speaking frankly beforehand to prevent them from blaming you if you make a mistake,” Wei Aiguo said.
Song Yan: "My medical skills are really good." In my previous life, I was able to practice medicine as a specialist, and now, after learning from Lao Han, I've reached an even higher level. "They were just too excited and enthusiastic, and I can't imagine what it would be like if they were disappointed?"
So I started to doubt myself. And I was guessing it was a boy. If the pregnancy had been a little further along, I would definitely have been able to tell the gender.
"So, did you figure out whether this one is male or female by touch?" Wei Aiguo asked.
"Of course I have my own judgment, but I don't want to tell you right now."
…
The couple chatted on and on, slowly making their way back.
…
There were still more than fifty headscarves left. Song Jun finally had a chance to meet Liu Shuying and told her about it.
Liu Shuying never expected to earn more than ten yuan in one day.
Upon hearing her say this, Song Jun immediately replied, "I didn't do much, and I feel quite guilty about this. I definitely won't accept any money from future sales."
Liu Shuying: "Look at you, do you think I'm so unreasonable? Would I let you go begging for money?"
To be honest, your cousin is a hundred times better than your own brother. She's heavily pregnant, yet she's still thinking about making you money.
Moreover, your brother-in-law is truly extraordinary. I never expected him to be so humble as to do this, as he doesn't seem to enjoy joking around.
Xiaoyan is quite capable; she asked her man for help, and he helped her.
Song Jun felt uncomfortable hearing this! "Didn't I say I'd listen to you after we got married?"
Liu Shuying smiled and said, "Have you found a replacement for tomorrow morning? We don't plan to charge you. You can come along and learn the ropes."
Song Jun thought Liu Shuying made sense. "I'll definitely go with her, even if it's not to learn anything. Xiaoyan wouldn't have brought the headscarf back if it weren't for me."...
The two talked for a while, then Song Jun went to find someone to take his place...
The next morning, Wei Aiguo and Song Jun went out.
Song Yan had to get back the remaining 100 headscarves, and those few guardian beasts. After covering herself up, she went to the courtyard that Cao Zhang had prepared.
Song Yan has already arrived. It would seem a bit of a loss to just take the things and leave.
Song Yan thought for a moment and decided to stick with grain. Since we're already here, I won't feel at ease if I don't make some money.
Song Yan produced another large batch of grain: wheat, corn, sorghum, and soybeans.
Cao Zhang wasn't surprised to see Xiao Mu come to see him. Xiao Mu always came to deliver goods two or three times in a row before leaving.
Xiao Mu loves antiques and calligraphy. This time, Cao Zhang prepared several exquisite pieces of porcelain and jade, as well as two ancient paintings, for her.
Song Yan fiddled with the jade bracelet in the small box.
The jade is of excellent quality. However, one of the bracelets has a crack. Song Yan doesn't want this one.
There are also a few rough stones.
Song Yan didn't want to buy raw stones; the gambling element was too great.
Cao Zhang said the price of the few stones wasn't high, and Song Yan considered them as an extra, so he kept them!
The bracelet with the crack was bought as an add-on item and wasn't charged. It's just lying here mixed in with the other jade pieces.
Song Yan thought everything was exquisite, so she stayed.
When things are more relaxed in the future, Song Yan will have a cheongsam made, and wear a jade bracelet with it. She'll then take a beautiful photo.
All of these things together cost only a little over four hundred yuan. Things are really cheap these days; Cao Zhang has really done a lot of tinkering.
Finally, Cao Zhang inventoried the goods and settled the payment with Song Yan.
Song Yan showed no sign of leaving the courtyard. Cao Zhang tactfully took his leave. He guessed that Song Yan was waiting for her companions to come and collect the items.
Once Song Yan was certain that Cao Zhang and the others had left, he put all the items away.
After deducting the cost of the purchases, there was still over ten thousand yuan left in payment for the goods.
Song Yan was secretly delighted.
