"What are you doing? We haven't even come to see you yet, and you're already grabbing a chicken."
When Aunt Wang saw the chicken, she glared at Yang Yufen with annoyance.
“I’ve asked my goddaughter-in-law to help me make something. Besides, the vegetables in my garden aren’t enough for them to eat, so I’m sending you one to ease the burden.”
“Godmother, you told me that all the furniture in this house was made by you. It’s just a few things, why would you bring over a chicken?”
Fang Fen was also shocked. This was a live hen that could lay eggs! What a huge gift!
"There's a lot of stuff, and your godmother doesn't know how to use a sewing machine, so you'll have to work hard."
Yang Yufen didn't give Fang Fen a chance to be polite and gave the chicken to Yao Yao.
Yao Yao really liked it and was hesitant to take it, but Aunt Wang spoke up.
"If Yao Yao likes it, we'll stay. No need to be polite with your Grandma Yang."
"Thank you, Grandma! Thank you, Grandma Yang! I really like it!"
Yao Yao held the baby hen and found a strip of floral cloth from somewhere, then tied it into a bow.
What are godmothers planning to make?
Seeing that the child was happy, Fang Fen stopped refusing.
"Make four quilts for the children as a base, then make six swaddle blankets, and also small clothes."
Yang Yufen estimated the quantity; hand-sewing was too slow, and the stitches weren't as dense as those from a sewing machine.
"How do you make so many?"
Aunt Wang was puzzled, thinking that even if she loved her child, she didn't need to be so old.
“Since Niannian is pregnant with twins, we need to prepare more. However, we can’t let anyone else know this news. I’m afraid someone might have bad intentions, like that girl surnamed Yi, who was Niannian’s colleague before. She’s just not a good person.”
Yang Yufen lowered her voice and said.
"That's a good thing. We should definitely prepare more. You're right, we can't tell anyone. We need to make sure Niannian gets well. You even brought a hen over. It would have been better if you had kept it for Niannian."
Aunt Wang greatly agreed with Yang Yufen's caution.
“It doesn’t matter if I have one more. I’ve found a fish farmer and I plan to buy more fish to make preserved fish. Loach and eel are just as good as chicken and are just as nutritious.”
Yang Yufen waved her hand.
"Mom, don't you like to eat fish? Let's buy some too. I can also make preserved fish."
Fang Fen interjected upon hearing this.
The Chinese New Year is just around the corner. Although the supply and marketing cooperative has more meat than before, it is also harder to get. Every family wants to have a couple more dishes on the table for the New Year.
The supply and marketing cooperative also had fish, but you couldn't get any if you were late.
"Can."
Aunt Wang really does like to eat fish.
"Okay, then, decide how much you want. The people will come tomorrow morning, and I'll tell them. I'll ask Sister Liu later. I need a lot, so I'm going to make some extra to send to Nian Nian's master and mistress as well."
When you add it all up, it turns out you need quite a lot.
The three families, along with their acquaintances, colleagues, and relatives, actually ordered 200 jin (100 kg).
Yang Yufen was a little worried about whether there would be enough fish.
"Don't worry, ma'am, I'll bring it to you here at 8:30 tonight."
Xiao Zhang patted his chest and assured him.
Fortunately, he sent his nephew back with a message that the quantity needed was quite large, so he would prioritize giving it to Aunt Yang first.
