Chapter 67 Future Third Sister-in-law
Sister He smiled and said, "I heard from Sister Xu that you wanted 70 eggs. We happen to be from the countryside, so if the villagers can chip in, it will be enough. But, we always keep this kind of thing secret, so don't make it too public."
Sun Erni nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "I understand this, but how do you exchange eggs? I don't have an egg ticket."
"What do we use for egg coupons in the countryside? A pound of eggs costs one dollar and eighty cents, or you can use other coupons instead, such as grain coupons, sugar coupons, etc., then it only costs one dollar per pound. Don't think it's expensive. The supply and marketing cooperative costs one dollar and twenty cents per pound, but that requires egg coupons! Besides, a pound of eggs can be exchanged for three pounds of grain coupons, so what I have is very suitable." Sister He was afraid that Sun Erni would think it was expensive, so she said a lot at once.
Sun Erni naturally knew this. It was a bit expensive, but she had to use it, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and agree.
"Okay, then try to pick the smallest ones for me. Bring me seventy, no, eighty will do. By the way, does your fellow villager have any big roosters or something? I want one, too." Sun Erni had already calculated in her mind that if one pound of eggs was small, there would be eleven or twelve eggs, so eighty eggs would take about seven pounds. At one dollar and eighty dollars per pound, that would be twelve dollars and sixty cents. It was worth spending the money for her eldest grandson.
"Yes, I do, but I have to go back and ask. A rooster should be one yuan per pound. A rooster should weigh about three or four pounds. Are you sure you want it?" Sister He has a rooster at home. She originally wanted to keep it for Chinese New Year and slaughter it for food, but now that she can sell it for money, she naturally sells it first.
"Yes, of course. By the way, let me ask you one more thing, do you have that kind of small millstone in your village? The kind used to grind soy milk, used at home, small one." Sun Erni has a secret recipe for increasing lactation, which is to add cooked soy milk to boiled chicken soup. It is definitely a great way to increase lactation.
Sister He thought for a moment and replied, "Really? No, why would you need that thing?"
“Make soy milk!”
Xu Fengni shook her head in disdain. "You're not bothering enough. Why don't you just go to the store and buy a bowl?"
Sun Erni thought about it and it was true. Freshly ground soy milk is slower. A bowl of soy milk costs eight cents. Since she has already bought a big rooster that cost several dollars, eight cents of soy milk is just a drop in the bucket.
"Then it's a deal. You bring the eggs to me. I need them tomorrow." The eldest grandson was born last night. Yesterday was the first day, today is the second day, and tomorrow is the third day. So the eggs will need to be red tomorrow at the latest.
Sister He clapped her hands and said with a smile, "No need for tomorrow. I brought you the eggs. They are outside. I'll bring them in for you."
"That's great. I'll cook it tonight and send it out tomorrow morning." Sun Erni was happy. She no longer had to worry about being late.
At this moment, Xu Fengni suddenly remembered something and asked, "Erni, have you informed your in-laws about Xinbai's birth? Have you forgotten?"
"Oh, if you hadn't told me, I would have really forgotten. How could I be so busy with my stupid brain and forget it? What should I do now? Oh, who should I ask to tell this story? Oh." Sun Erni was instantly so anxious that she was spinning around.
Xu Fengni was also speechless. How could she forget this?
But after thinking about it, she came up with an idea, "Why don't we let Yitai go tomorrow? Jinsheng has to take care of Xinbai and can't go."
"this……"
"Knock knock," there was a sudden knock on the door, "Xiaobai, are you home? This is my third brother!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Erni stood up immediately and opened the door. "Oh, my third brother-in-law is here. What a coincidence! Xinbai gave birth at about 11 o'clock last night. It's a boy, weighing 15 pounds and 20 grams. I was just about to go to your house to tell you the news, and then your uncle came. What a coincidence!"
Jiang Baocheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said with a smile: "That's a coincidence. I want to see my nephew and aunt. Which hospital is Xiaobai in? I'll go and see."
"Bed 12 on the second floor of the obstetrics department of the People's Hospital. Do you want me to accompany you to see it later?"
"No need, auntie, I'll go first. My friend is waiting for me downstairs!" Jiang Baocheng said with a smile, nodded to Sun Erni and the others, and left.
"That's just right, Yitai doesn't have to go and notify him." Xu Fengni smiled, saying, this is a coincidence.
In the hospital, Jiang Xinbai was watching Yang Jinsheng changing the baby's diaper. She looked at the diapers covering the windowsill and smiled, "Fortunately it's summer, the diapers dry quickly, otherwise I wouldn't be able to change all the diapers."
"Yeah, otherwise all our cloth coupons this year will be used to make diapers for him, haha."
"What are you laughing at? Let me see my nephew." Jiang Baocheng walked in from outside, put down the things in his hands and prepared to hug the child.
Yang Jinsheng was unhappy and whispered, "Third brother, you don't know how to hold it, so I'll hold it for you to watch."
Jiang Baocheng raised his eyebrows, "Who said I don't know how to hold my baby? I held many children of my eldest brother and second brother. Stop talking nonsense and give it to me."
Jiang Xinbai looked at her reluctant husband and smiled, "Jinsheng, let Third Brother hug you! He is more skilled than both of us."
"That's right." Jiang Baocheng smiled proudly, reached out to take the child, and then stared at the child with tenderness.
It was then that Jiang Xinbai realized that there was a strange woman standing beside her bed. She took a curious look and found that she was staring at her third brother.
"Third brother, who is this?"
Jiang Baocheng raised his head and smiled, introducing: "Xiaobai, this is your future third sister-in-law Bai Qianqian, Qianqian, this is my little sister."
Jiang Xinbai sat up straight after hearing what he said, "Hello, Sister Qianqian, my name is Jiang Xinbai. Third brother is really something. I'm sorry for not introducing you first!"
Bai Qianqian smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, Baocheng is also anxious to see his nephew. Congratulations, Xiaobai, this is my gift to you." As she spoke, Bai Qianqian handed over a can of malted milk.
"Oh, this is too expensive. I can't accept it, Sister Qianqian." Jiang Xinbai didn't expect that the future sister-in-law would give him a can of malted milk when they met for the first time. She was really generous.
Bai Qianqian glanced at Jiang Baocheng and said with a smile, "Your third brother was going to your house to look for you today, but your mother-in-law said you had given birth and were in the hospital. So we came to the hospital again. We were in a hurry and don't have anything good to give you. Don't mind it!"
“No…” Isn’t this a good thing?
Jiang Baocheng had had enough of the child, so he returned it to Yang Jinsheng, walked to Bai Qianqian, squeezed her hand and said with a smile: "This is Qianqian's gift, just accept it! I didn't buy anything either. Here, I gave you a red envelope temporarily, don't mind it." As he said that, Jiang Baocheng handed over a red envelope and put it under Jiang Xinbai's pillow.
"Yours may be impolite." Jiang Xinbai replied with a smile, but she was still very curious and asked, "Third brother, when did you and Sister Qianqian start dating? Do my parents know?"
