Aunt Wang had just woken up from her afternoon nap when she saw Zhou Xiaonian. She immediately grabbed two candies to tease her: "Call me Auntie, and you'll get candy if you do."
"Auntie." Zhou Xiaonian called out, but didn't take the candy; she just looked at Liang Guiying.
Liang Guiying encouraged her to take the candy: "Say thank you, Auntie."
"Thank you, Auntie."
"Niannian is such a good girl." Aunt Wang patted her head, then looked at Liang Guiying with a serious expression, "You gave me this chicken?"
"It's not for you, it's for your daughter-in-law." Liang Guiying leaned closer. "I saw your daughter-in-law from afar when I came back yesterday. Is she pregnant? How many months along?"
"You have a sharp eye." Aunt Wang smiled and lowered her voice. "She's only been three months along. Her periods are irregular, and she doesn't have morning sickness. We only found out last week during her company's physical exam."
"Then I'll make some red date stewed chicken. After you finish eating, come to my place to get more. I've caught more than twenty. By the way, you should probably start raising confinement chickens soon, right? You'll eat one chicken a day until you're fully postpartum. You'll need at least forty."
"I haven't bought it yet. I was thinking of buying it when she's six months old, and then I can raise her for a little over a month before killing her..."
Aunt Wang had endless things to say about her daughter-in-law's pregnancy. She chatted with Liang Guiying for a long time, and when she met Liang Guiying's smiling eyes, she felt a little embarrassed: "Look at me, I forgot to boil water to make you tea."
"From now on, I'll come three times a day, and you'll make me tea every time?"
Liang Guiying joked and then asked Aunt Wang, "Aunt Wang, where can I buy bamboo around here? I want to build a chicken coop and chicken house."
"You want bamboo? No need to buy it. Isn't there a grove of trees between Building 6 and Building 7? There's bamboo there too. Just tell the management office and we can go and cut some. Come on, I'll go with you."
There is a bamboo grove between buildings 6 and 7. Liang Guiying really didn't know this. In her previous life, she lived in the residential area for a month, but Zheng Fangshu kept telling her that the people here were all city people who looked down on rural people, and that she should not talk to anyone when she went out, so as not to make a fool of herself.
Liang Guiying believed his lies and really did not go out except to buy groceries, let alone stroll around the residential area.
The bamboo grove wasn't large, but it was bound to be full of snakes, insects, and rodents. So Liang Guiying asked Aunt Wang to watch over Xiaonian for a while while she went to cut bamboo.
The bamboo grew very lushly, but it was also very messy and disorderly. Liang Guiying had to work very hard to cut down ten bamboo stalks, and then she had to work very hard to drag them all back.
Looking at the wall clock, which showed four o'clock, Liang Guiying decided to put aside her concerns about the bamboo and hurry to pick up Zhou Xiaonian. Aunt Wang needed to pick up her granddaughter Feifei from kindergarten at 4:30, and she couldn't delay her.
Aunt Wang said helplessly, "The kindergarten is right in the residential area. It's fine if I take Niannian to pick up Feifei. The two children can play together."
Liang Guiying chuckled: "Then after you pick up Feifei, take her home to play... Niannian, say goodbye to your aunt."
Goodbye, Auntie!
The little girl held two candies in each hand. As soon as she left Aunt Wang's house, she gave two of them to Liang Guiying: "Grandma, have some!"
The lychee-flavored hard candy produced by Jiangcheng Candy Factory was very sweet. Liang Guiying peeled one for her child and one for herself.
The little girl clutched the remaining two tightly, saying, "Give them to Mommy!"
"Okay, okay, give it to Mom."
Back home, the little girl was allowed to play in the bathtub, while Liang Guiying quickly cleaned up the bamboo branches and leaves.
First, wipe off the burrs on the surface of the bamboo with a cloth, then set them aside. Temporarily pile the bamboo leaves under the tree, then wash the floor again, and finally mop it dry with a dry mop.
She was already covered in sweat and fur and powder, so Liang Guiying simply washed her hair and took a shower.
Seeing that it was almost time, Liang Guiying started cooking the rice.
Just then, Uncle Zhong came over: "Grandma Niannian, the tricycle is back!"
