Bai Zhaodi wasn't angry. "When have I ever been lazy? Look at me, I'm the one who's busy with everything, inside and outside the house. So, tell me if you need any help?"
"Yes," Tian Guihua naturally wouldn't refuse a free laborer offered to her. As for what the other party was up to? She would eventually reveal it.
"I've heard from others that your pickled cabbage tastes good. I'll go to the village to get some mustard greens and we can exchange them." There was no time to pickle cabbage now, and she had been thinking about where to exchange it. Now that Bai Zhaodi had come to her, she naturally wouldn't be polite.
"I'll bring it to you on that day," Bai Zhaodi said without saying anything else. The relationship gradually improved, and the two families started to visit each other more often, so that it would be easier to ask for help later.
Coming here today was definitely the right decision; it's best to get something for nothing by being shameless.
Besides, the atmosphere in the courtyard has been quite good these past few days. In particular, these old men and women who used to have some arguments seem to have accomplished something great together and formed an alliance in their hearts, making past grudges seem insignificant.
However, there was no real grudge to begin with. There are bound to be some minor conflicts in a big courtyard, but what kind of life-or-death feud? There really wasn't one.
They've lived for decades; if it weren't for planning for their descendants, they should have let it go.
If there's a new mother in the house, these people will only stay for a short while and then leave. They'll come back to join in the fun when the baby is fully recovered. However, they can't come empty-handed when invited, so they need to think carefully about what gifts to bring.
After putting the baby back in the room, Tian Guihua started getting busy. With a new mother in the house, the meals for the day couldn't be taken lightly.

Jiang Yi entered carrying large and small bags. Tian Guihua hurried over and said, "What did you bring this time? You'll have to live your own life from now on, so you can't be so generous with your money."
If Jiang Yi brings some prey over, they won't say anything. He dug several traps on the mountain, and each time the harvest was quite good.
He wasn't planning to sell it, and they couldn't finish it all, so they could take it all. But they also kept an eye on things and planned to prepare more dowry for Xiao Guai later.
"Why is there still milk powder here? I'll take it back later." Tian Guihua put it on the table and noticed the exposed tin can. Her brows furrowed. "We don't need these things at home. Why did you spend money on this?"
Jiang Yi took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and quickly said, "Xiangyun asked me to bring these over. They're for my sister-in-law to eat to help her recover. The smoked meat was given by Master Wu, who said it was to add a dish to the family."
"This child is really something. When others become apprentices, they have to give gifts and show respect to their masters. How could he bring his master's things over?" Tian Guihua grumbled. "Master Wu really made a mistake by taking Xiao Guai as his apprentice."
Xiao Guai ate and lived there, and everything was arranged by the master. He would also bring things over from Master Wu from time to time, which made Tian Guihua feel a little embarrassed.
She thought that she should make a couple of outfits for Master Wu when she had some free time. It seemed that Baoguo had brought back some nice pieces of fabric last time.
At this moment, Jiang Yi took out a small safety buckle wrapped in brocade from his pocket. "This is from Xiangyun for my nephew. She can't take leave right now, but she will definitely come back when the baby is a month old."
Hua Guangzong took it with both hands, glanced at it, and nodded in satisfaction. "Little Darling, you're such a thoughtful aunt. This is better than any gift you could give her."
He now wears the safety amulet that Xiao Guai gave him, which has a talisman on it and is not an ordinary decoration.
He rewrapped the items and handed them to Tian Guihua, saying, "Give them to Lijuan later so she can put them on the child."
Tian Guihua held it in her hand, admiring it for a moment, before saying, "How could such a small child possibly wear it? Just put it next to him."
Anyway, all that kid does is eat and sleep, so leaving him aside won't make a difference.
Hua Guangzong was naturally less experienced in taking care of children than Tian Guihua. "It's up to you to decide, but this is a valuable item, so don't lose it."
"How could I not know that?" Tian Guihua had several friends who were born into wealthy families. Although the little items they carried were later replaced with supplies, she had handled them and could naturally distinguish between good and bad.
"Not to mention the preciousness of this little thing itself, he should cherish it even more because it was made by his own aunt."
Tian Guihua had clearly forgotten that the child she was talking about was still just an infant in swaddling clothes. Even if he was precocious, he had no human rights...
Li Lijuan was overjoyed to see such a beautiful little jade pendant; it was her son's first valuable item.
Although we can't wear it outside now, who knows what will happen in the future?
Since the college entrance examination has to be restarted this time, things will surely become clear soon.
In front of Tian Guihua, Li Lijuan placed the items under her son's bedding, which was equivalent to him wearing them close to his body.
Seeing that she liked it, Tian Guihua quickly helped Xiao Guai take credit and carried all the food she brought back to Li Lijuan's room.
Seeing Li Lijuan's moved face, Tian Guihua was satisfied. According to her, the old couple would leave sooner or later, but parents couldn't be relied on. Her brother and sister-in-law would be Xiao Guai's true support in the future.
If we build a good relationship, Xiaoguai will have no problem visiting her parents' home in the future.
She now sees Jiang Yi putting Xiao Guai first in everything, but after the Liu Haifeng incident, if it weren't for her family's support, Cheng Yue wouldn't have been able to resolve things so perfectly.
Therefore, it is very important to maintain a good relationship with her maternal family. Even if Jiang Yi doesn't bully Xiao Guai in the future, she has no brothers to help her. If she can support and help the two boys in her family, Xiao Guai's life will be even better in the future.
Li Lijuan had no idea that Guihua had thought so much in that short time. She kept only two cans of milk and pushed everything else to the old lady, saying, "Grandma, we've already prepared too much. You can decide how to handle these things. The family has been busy with me these past few days, so you should make up for it."
As for his family, apart from his somewhat unreliable mother-in-law, he had nothing to say about the others.
She gained so much freedom after getting married, with her grandmother Tian Guihua looking after her both at home and outside, who was even more devoted and open-minded than her mother-in-law.
Besides, Zhiping was also raised by his grandparents, and the young couple had long said that they would take care of them in the future, and they deserve it.
Tian Guihua glanced at the pile of tonics on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed). These were collected by the Hua and Li families after she became pregnant, and she didn't lack them.
“Then I’ll leave it outside, and everyone can eat it together,” Tian Guihua said without hesitation. “Our family is all in good health. Good health is more important than anything else.”
Tian Guihua didn't dare to linger in the room for too long. Both mother and son needed to rest, so she gave them a few words of advice, picked up her things, and returned to the main room.
Hua Guangzong watched her move in and out, smiled and shook his head, preparing his own belongings, and decided to go fishing to store some more fish.
