Wang Cuihong asked, "Mother, where are you taking the eggs?"
"I'll take it to your third sister's family, so she can take good care of herself and look how thin she is."
Wang Cuihong!
"So many eggs, Mom, you took more than half of them! We're both about to give birth, Mom, you can't be so biased!"
Li Xiangyun glared at her: "I still have some left. You two won't have your babies until autumn, what's the rush? It's still early. I'll save up some more. If all else fails, I'll buy some later."
Wang Cuihong pursed her lips and stopped talking. She'd deal with it when there were no eggs to eat.
Mother really is biased.
She stomped her foot in anger and went back inside.
She went to Huo Jianguo to complain.
They never get any good opportunities.
"Huo Jianguo, look at your mother. She put all the eggs in the back for her third brother's wife to eat. We're about to give birth, and we're relying on those few eggs to nourish our bodies every day."
Huo Jianguo rolled over: "Take it or leave it. The chickens were raised by Mom, and she can give the eggs to whomever she wants. Besides, you've eaten plenty of them, why are you fussing over such trivial matters every day?"
She sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) in anger, tears streaming down her face.
When Xiaohuzi and Daya saw their mother crying, Xiaohuzi didn't dare to say anything and pulled his sister outside.
Wang Cuihong cried twice in anger and then hit Huo Jianguo twice.
Huo Jianguo didn't want to talk to her; she was just being unreasonable.
He got up and went straight to work.
Wang Cuihong felt even more wronged and burst into tears in the room.
Zhang Hongying saw her mother-in-law leave with the eggs, but she didn't react at all.
Anyway, she's not in charge of the household, so even if she spoke up, her mother-in-law wouldn't listen to her.
I'd rather not say anything, so as not to upset my mother-in-law. She needs her mother-in-law's help and money to give birth.
Anyway, I had eggs that I had secretly saved up, all of which I had secretly brought back from my parents' home.
Huo Jiandang also comforted her: "Don't worry, after you give birth, I won't let you down. If we don't have eggs, I'll find a way to get some."
Zhang Hongying nodded.
Li Xiangyun took the eggs to the back and found that the gate was already closed.
Knock directly on the door.
Huo Junshan was just about to fall asleep when he heard the sound of the front door opening.
He quietly got up and opened the door.
Seeing his mother standing there with a basket of eggs, he asked, "Mom, what are you doing with so many eggs?"
Li Xiangyun chuckled and said, "It's for Ningning to nourish her body."
As she spoke, she pushed Huo Junshan aside and went straight into the kitchen to put the eggs in the cupboard.
He said, "Do you have any cured meat at home? If not, go and get some. Here's a hundred yuan for you, so you can buy some food for Ningning."
This child has no parents and no one to love her, so she just wanted to love her more.
She's a pitiful child, and now she's carrying the Huo family's child; she should treat her even better.
Huo Junshan saw that his mother had taken out another hundred yuan, so he guessed that she had taken it out secretly without anyone knowing.
Huo Junshan waved his hands repeatedly: "Mother, we don't want it! You should take it back. Fifth Brother and Fourth Brother are not married yet. You should keep it!"
Li Xiangyun kept stuffing things into his pocket: "Take this, go buy some milk powder and malted milk powder for Ningning, so she can get some nourishment."
Huo Junshan said helplessly, "Mother, we have money, so take it quickly! Otherwise, my sisters-in-law will be angry again."
Li Xiangyun glared at him: "You may have money, but this is money given to me by your mother-in-law. Even if they find out, they can't say anything about it."
Huo Junshan had no choice but to take it and give it to his mother later when he had the chance.
Li Xiangyun left satisfied.
Huo Junshan stuffed the money into his pocket; his mother's blatant favoritism was appalling.
She wasn't afraid of her sisters-in-law making trouble for her.
He shook his head, locked the door, and went straight inside.
Despite the repeated opening of the door, Yun Ningyan was still awake and didn't want to move, and Huo Junshan wouldn't let her get up either.
"What brings Mother here again?"
Huo Junshan took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and showed it to her: "My mother gave me a hundred yuan to buy you something to help you recover."
Yun Ningyan laughed: "You tell me, wouldn't Mother be shocked if she knew how much money we have?"
“Mom knows we have money, but she thinks we have at most a thousand or two thousand yuan.”
"She doesn't know how much money we have; no amount of money means anything to her."
Huo Junshan climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and held Yun Ningyan in his arms. With no one to disturb them, Yun Ningyan soon fell asleep.
Huo Junshan didn't sleep. He kept staring at his wife's face, glancing at her belly and then at her face.
I still can't believe the fact that they already have a child.
As he pondered this, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
But they slept soundly.
But some people are on their way.
Yun Qinzhi, Wen Yingqiu, Yun Lang, and Yun Gan waited for the commune to open early in the morning, bought their things, and set off.
Yun Lang and Yun Gan took turns driving, and the journey took a full day and night.
There were no highways at that time, so we traveled relatively slowly.
We traveled along the way, stopping frequently. When we arrived in a city, we would stay in a guesthouse when it got dark and eat out when we got hungry.
Yun Ningyan hasn't been to work for the past few days, and observant people have noticed that they've seen her every day.
Some of the older women asked Huo Junshan, "Where's your wife? We haven't seen her for days."
Huo Junshan: "I didn't let her come to work."
He didn't tell anyone that his wife was pregnant. His mother said, "It's best not to tell anyone until she's three months pregnant!"
That evening, Li Xiangyun returned home early to cook and invited Yun Ningyan over for dinner.
She made braised pork, cured pork, and steamed egg custard.
There's also the "Three Treasures of the Earth" (地三鲜).
The whole family sat together; all her daughters-in-law were pregnant, and she was very happy.
The Huo family has many descendants.
Huo Changgen even brought out a bottle of wine, and he was very happy.
Having a large and prosperous family is a good thing.
Li Xiangyun handed the steamed egg custard to Yun Ningyan, and said with a smile, "Ningning, eat quickly, it will get cold soon."
Yun Ningyan looked around and saw that Wang Cuihong and Zhang Hongying didn't have any steamed eggs; only she did.
She glanced at Huo Junshan again, and seeing that he didn't react, she lowered her head and took a bite.
It smells terrible.
She still found it very fishy.
Li Xiangyun used a lot of sesame oil, so in addition to the aroma of sesame oil, there was also a fishy smell of eggs.
She almost threw up, looked at Huo Junshan with a troubled expression, and pushed the steamed egg custard in front of him: "Huo Junshan, I can't eat this, it's too fishy!"
Wang Cuihong and Zhang Hongying watched longingly, seeing that she couldn't eat, both of them staring at the steamed egg custard in her bowl.
But your predicament has been turned to Huo Junshan.
Wang Cuihong was angry because her mother-in-law was biased; her three younger siblings got steamed egg custard, but not hers.
Without hesitation, she said, "Third sister-in-law, why would the third brother, a rough old man, eat steamed egg custard? It's a waste."
Yun Ningyan knew she was going to say something sarcastic, but she didn't expect her husband to waste food by eating steamed egg custard.
That woman is far too harsh!
