Chapter 6 I’m so hungry, I really want to eat egg custard
"Bang!"
With a slight sound, the egg fell on the wooden table and rolled twice.
The little baby looked up at Luo Qiuyue and Yunniang.
Their expressions were exactly the same, their eyes wide open, their mouths wide enough to fit two eggs.
"What's wrong?" Ye Buwei didn't know what happened.
"No, it's okay, I must be dazzled!" Luo Qiuyue said stutteringly.
Yunniang rubbed her eyes and said, "Mom, am I dazzled too?"
As if to refute their words, a sly smile flashed in the little baby's black grape-like eyes. She opened and closed her little hands quickly, and in an instant, eggs rolled down from her palms one after another with a thud.
Luo Qiuyue: “…”
Yunniang: “…”
quiet.
Deathly quiet.
Ye Buwei felt the strange atmosphere and asked sternly, "What on earth is going on?!"
"Old Ye, Yaya, she can lay eggs in her palm!"
"What nonsense!"
"Dad, it's true!" Yunniang's lips trembled.
Ye Buwei snorted.
Luo Qiuyue handed the baby's hand to him, "Your hand is empty now, right? Yaya, turn into an egg——"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Buwei touched an egg.
This time, it was Ye Buwei's turn to fall into deathly silence.
The little baby looked at them calmly with her big eyes, sucking her little hands with her mouth. She really wanted to know how this family would treat her next.
This Luo Qiuyue looked fierce, and although he saved her today, he didn't look like a good person;
Yunniang is gentle and timid, and at first glance, she has no opinions. You can't count on her.
Even though Lao Bao wanted to protect her, he was a blind man with limited mobility and could not be relied upon.
For a moment, the little baby felt that death was beckoning to him.
They will definitely use her up and sell her off like trash, just like her previous relatives did!
But based on the knowledge of ancient people, they would more likely regard her as a monster, right?
Will she be burned to ashes by the fire?
The little baby sucked his fingers with relish, quietly waiting for death to come.
Having seen the ugliness of human nature, she had long since developed a world-weary heart. She had attempted suicide many times but failed, and in fact, she had long since stopped wanting to live.
Death was a precious gift to her.
"Brain bag..."
She shook Ye Buwei's hand and said, "No matter whether I am killed, cut, burned or sold this time, please don't protect me anymore."
I don't want to owe you anymore.
I'm so sorry I couldn't repay your kindness...
Ye Buwei came to his senses and grabbed the little hand.
The man, who was used to speaking coldly, said in a gentle voice with a hint of stiffness, "I'm here."
Ye Buwei raised his head, his voice solemn and resolute, "I am blind, but my heart is not blind! Tell me, what do these eggs have to do with Yaya?"
Luo Qiuyue understood instantly and shook her head frantically, "Of course it doesn't matter! I bought this with the money from my little treasury!"
Yunniang shuddered and stammered, "Yes, yes, yes, mother gave me the silver, and I bought these eggs without telling Yanping, thinking of giving them to the whole family as a good supplement!"
The little baby was stunned:???
What's wrong with you?
Why are you lying like that? I was the one who made the egg!
Why aren't you excited?
Why not let her change a little more like her family in her previous life?
Immediately afterwards, the hand in her mouth was taken away and she was held in Luo Qiuyue's arms.
"You little idiot!" Luo Qiuyue looked at the baby's big black eyes, "Not only are you not stupid, you're actually quite smart! If you show this skill to the Huo family..."
Suddenly, Luo Qiuyue paused, and thought of something, her face pale with shock: "Could the Huo family's thunderbolt be related to Yaya?!"
Ye Buwei sat there with a serious expression, not knowing what he was thinking.
Luo Qiuyue exclaimed in a low voice: "My dear mother, could this little baby of yours be a god who has descended to earth?!"
Yunniang came forward, mustered up the courage to hold the baby's hand, looked at it again and again, and said softly, "Ya Ya, I don't care who you are, but you're just a little kid now. Can you please stop showing off your magical powers in the future? I'm timid and incompetent, and I'm afraid I can't protect you. Just be a good little baby and grow up safely with your brothers, okay?"
As he finished speaking, he choked up a little.
The baby rolled her dark eyes in confusion. She really didn't understand.
This family is so poor, why don’t they let her make something?
Looking at Yunniang's tearful eyes, she felt a little blocked in her heart.
This woman looked weak, but her words were so powerful that they made her want to cry.
"Okay, only the three of us know about what happened today. Just keep it to yourself." Luo Qiuyue said.
Yunniang nodded: "Mom, I know! I will even hide it from Yanping!"
Yunniang's heart was pounding. She wondered why God had given her such a powerful daughter.
The first time she saw Yaya today, she really liked her. Now that she has decided on this girl, she will do her utmost to protect her. But can she really do it?
"Don't worry, we are here!" Luo Qiuyue saw her worry, "No matter whether it is good or bad, we are together as a family!"
"Yes!" Yunniang nodded heavily.
Ye Buwei said word by word, "Since she's the daughter of the Ye family, she should have a new name. From now on, she won't be called Yaya, but Ye Jiulin, which means the sweet rain from the nine heavens!"
Yunniang's eyes lit up. "What a great name! After three years of drought, everyone is looking forward to a downpour! Thank you, Father! This name is such a blessing!"
Luo Qiuyue didn't like this name because she didn't understand it. "How about another nickname? Something like Fatty, Gamei, Piglet, or Goubao. They're easy to raise!"
Yunniang shuddered and said anxiously, "Mom, let's call her Xiaojiu. It means long-lasting!"
"Is Xiaojiu too ordinary?" Luo Qiuyue hesitated. "Old Ye, is Xiaojiu or Gamei? Or Yadan will do too!"
Ye Buwei: "Hello, Xiaojiu. Speaking of which, this girl happens to be the ninth member of the Ye family."
"Oh, okay." Luo Qiuyue instantly felt like an eggplant hit by frost.
Yunniang excitedly kissed the little girl's soft cheek, "Xiao Jiu'er, do you like your new name?"
The little girl glanced at her lazily, her curved eyelashes trembling slightly.
She didn't care about the name at all, she just knew she was hungry.
With a flat mouth, he looked at the pile of eggs on the table with a wronged look, "Qiqi-"
Did anyone hear her stomach growling? She really wants some egg custard!
"Xiaojiu wants to eat eggs?"
Yunniang came to her senses, "That's right! I just said that if we have eggs, we can make egg custard, and then Xiaojiu will..."
"So this girl wants to eat egg custard, you should steam it quickly." Luo Qiuyue said.
Luo Qiuyue’s cooking skills are very average. After Yunniang got married, she was the one who cooked.
"Let me count how many eggs there are."
"Mom, eggs are two cents each in town today!" said Yunniang.
"Really?" Luo Qiuyue rubbed her hands excitedly. "Money goes quickly and comes quickly! I lost two taels of silver today, but I'll make it back in the blink of an eye!"
