First, there was Sangzi, who was dealing with work when her younger brother, who was so excited he went crazy, arrived.
He was sitting behind his desk when he heard the door slam open. Without even looking, he knew it was mulberries.
Sure enough, Sangzhen walked briskly to the opposite side of Sangzi's house and announced, "Brother, Lingling is pregnant!"
Sang Zi paused, her pen instantly piercing the paper, and looked up abruptly, "Really?"
Mulberry nodded repeatedly: "Of course, that's what Old Man Yu said."
Sang Zi's smile remained unchanged, and he seemed very calm. However, he tried to put the pen cap on several times but failed. His smile was no longer superficial; it was genuine, with a genuine smile in his eyes and brows.
After celebrating his joy, he exclaimed, "Xiao Qi is going to be a father!" The tiny baby from back then has now grown into a big tree and will have a child of his own.
Sang Shen beamed, making no attempt to hide his good mood: "Brother, I'm going to call Grandpa."
Sangzi gestured for him to proceed.
Sangshen dialed the phone number at the Kyoto Military Headquarters compound...
The day passed uneventfully for Bling, while Sangshen spent it being given various instructions. When he got home in the evening, he saw Bling washing vegetables and quickly took over, saying, "Lingling, I can do this kind of work from now on."
Before Bu Ling could say anything, Sister Lu, who was cooking nearby, pouted and said, "Little Bu, we women can't be so lazy."
Bu Ling completely ignored her, but Sang Shen wasn't about to tolerate her: "Mind your own business!"
"Brother Sang, your sister-in-law is only doing this for your own good!" Sister-in-law Lu said with a look that seemed to say, "I'm doing this for your own good."
Mulberry looked disgusted: "Get out!"
Sister-in-law Lu's expression twisted several times. She tossed her head, wiggled her hips, and went back into the house.
For the next period of time, everyone in the courtyard truly witnessed what it meant to serve one's ancestors. Xiao Sang practically fed every single bite of food to Xiao Bu, and even wiped his mouth for him, which made the women in the courtyard feel heartbroken.
As a result, life became much harder for the men in the courtyard. After they learned that the culprit was Sangshen, they talked to him several times, but Sangshen just did what he wanted, and his main idea was to not care about the lives of others.
The neighbors discovered that this was just the beginning, as the Bling couple began another round of receiving packages.
Since Bling's workplace was right across from the post office, every night Bling would bring back a package, big or small, and the addresses for sending the packages were all over the place, but without exception, the contents of each package were good stuff.
At this point, citric acid was no longer enough to describe the neighbors' feelings. However, as Bling became three months pregnant, the neighbors in the courtyard finally understood what Mulberry had been up to all along.
November had arrived and it was already quite cold. Zhu Zhizhi's wedding was set for November 18th, which was just around the corner. As colleagues, Bu Ling, Wu Yuanyuan, and Sister Ma discussed and decided to send her a pair of bright red pillowcases.
Since both Wu Yuanyuan and Buling were pregnant, the arduous task of purchasing fell to Sister Ma. Buling and Wu Yuanyuan only needed to provide the money and receipts.
That afternoon, Sister Ma took leave and went to the department store with the hopes of the two of them, while Bu Ling, Uncle Tan, and other restaurant employees stayed in the kitchen roasting sweet potatoes.
The sweet potato was roasted, and Bling had just peeled it and was about to put it in her mouth when she heard someone outside calling, "Cousin, Bling, cousin!"
Bling sighed, glanced regretfully at the juicy roasted sweet potatoes, stood up, and walked out of the kitchen: "Cousin, I'm here."
Xia Qingmei's eyes lit up when she saw Bu Ling, and she quickly walked up to her, calling out, "Cousin!" Her voice was mournful and melodious.
Looking at Xia Qingmei, who had lost a lot of weight in the few months they hadn't seen each other, Bu Ling pulled her down to sit and poured her a cup of hot water. "Cousin, have some water."
Xia Qingmei took the water and said in a somber tone, "Thank you."
Buling sat down next to her and asked with concern, "Cousin, what's wrong? Tell me if you have any difficulties, and I'll definitely help if I can."
Suddenly, a tear rolled down Xia Qingmei's cheek without warning, and she choked out, "Cousin, I really had no other choice but to come to you."
Buling: "Don't rush, cousin, tell me slowly."
Xia Qingmei wiped away her tears before asking, "Cousin, do you have milk powder coupons? Or malted milk powder coupons would also be fine. I... I'll trade you something, or money!"
"My son was premature and weak at birth. I don't have much breast milk, and the doctor said he needs formula or malted milk powder, otherwise, he might not survive."
As she spoke, Xia Qingmei's tears fell like beads from a broken string, one after another.
Seeing her like this, Buling took out a handkerchief and handed it to her: "Cousin, wipe your tears, I have milk powder coupons."
She might not be able to guarantee anything else, but she certainly doesn't lack milk powder coupons. Ever since she became pregnant, every package sent by the Sang family has included milk powder coupons or malted milk powder coupons, not just for after the baby is born.
Because Sang Shen said that Bu Ling needed to be properly nourished, the Sang family, along with Bu Yi and Liang Boda, poured milk powder coupons, malted milk powder coupons, and other good things into their house.
No wonder the neighbors were so envious. It would be normal if it happened once or twice, but the Sang family is so large, and the mulberry is the family's treasure. Moreover, Buling is pregnant with the Sang family's first great-grandson, so of course everyone is paying attention to it.
Xia Qingmei looked at Buling hopefully, and Buling stuffed a handkerchief into her hand, "But I don't have it with me. Come home with me later to get it. The child's life is more important."
