"You're back?"
Zhang Lifu swept the yard clean and waited for his goddaughter to come.
"Hey, Xiaoya, this is your godfather."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law introduced the two of them.
"Godfather~".
Xiaoya obediently called out.
"Hey, Xiaoya."
Zhang Lifu felt a little embarrassed; he was overjoyed to suddenly have such a big daughter.
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, Brother Lifu, if there's nothing else, we'll head back now."
Wei Yuyan handed the large bundle to Zhang Lifu and prepared to take her leave.
"Hey, sister-in-law, come over for dinner tomorrow night. I didn't have time to buy groceries today."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law quickly reminded her.
"Okay~".
Wei Yuyan nodded, took Qianqian's hand, and left.
"Sister-in-law, will Xiaoya be living at Sister Xiuhua's house from now on?"
Qianqian was a little curious.
"Yes, are you happy? And Xiaoya might be your classmate in the future."
Wei Yuyan reminded her.
"Wow, that's great!"
Qianqian happily ran home to share the good news with her brother.
"Huh? She became Sister-in-law Xiuhua's goddaughter?"
Xiao Lei found it hard to believe, but he was still happy for her.
The next afternoon, Wei Yuyan arrived at Sister Xiuhua's house early to see if there was anything she could help with.
"Sister-in-law Wu~".
Xiaoya was picking vegetables in the yard when she saw Wei Yuyan arrive, so she took the initiative to greet her.
“Hey, Xiaoya, I feel like you calling me sister-in-law is a bit out of line. Now that you’ve recognized Sister Xiuhua as your godmother, you should call me aunt.”
Wei Yuyan felt it was a little strange that Xiuhua called her "sister-in-law" while Xiuhua called her "elder sister-in-law."
"Okay, Auntie, hasn't Qianqian finished school yet?"
Xiaoya seems to be adapting quite well.
"Yeah, almost there. School should be over in about 15 minutes. Where's your godmother?"
Wei Yuyan didn't see where Sister-in-law Xiuhua was.
"I'm here, what's wrong?"
Xiuhua's sister-in-law appeared with a knife in her hand, apparently chopping vegetables.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask when you plan to send Xiaoya to school?"
Wei Yuyan thought that Qianqian had been attending for almost a month, and if she didn't go now, she would fall behind. If she waited another year, it would be too long.
"Tomorrow, I'll go to school to pay my tuition tomorrow afternoon since I'm free. Xiaoya can go to school with Qianqian the day after tomorrow."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law naturally felt that the earlier the better, as it would be inconvenient for her to go to school when she was older.
"Okay, sure."
Wei Yuyan nodded, it seemed that she would be getting paid again in a couple of days, and this month was over again.
When Wei Yuyan returned to the courtyard, she found that Zhang Dasao and his wife had brought Xiaoru with them.
"Xiaoru, from now on, this is your cousin, her name is Xiaoya."
Sister-in-law Zhang introduced the two of them.
"Little Ya, my sister."
Xiaoru and Xiaoya have been from the same village since they were little, so naturally they know each other.
However, they weren't very familiar with each other because Xiaoru was rather introverted and mostly stayed at home.
"Cousin~".
Xiaoya felt it was quite endearing to call her "cousin," so she started calling her that.
Today, Sister-in-law Xiuhua and her husband prepared an even more abundant meal than they would have for Chinese New Year.
"The dishes are served. Today we have braised pork ribs, pork belly, steamed egg custard, minced pork and tofu, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, braised fish, bok choy, and taro soup with scallions."
Brother Lifu brought all the dishes to the table, and the children's mouths watered.
"Oh, Sister Xiuhua, have you finished planting your taro?"
Wei Yuyan was a little curious, as it seemed that her own family didn't have one yet.
"No, someone gave it to me. My plants were also planted late, so they haven't sprouted yet."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua is here to serve everyone rice.
"tasty".
Wei Yuyan mixed the soup with rice and found it particularly delicious.
"Come on, come on, today is to celebrate that I have a daughter."
Xiaoya, I hope you will be happy in this family from now on.
Brother Lifu brought out the wine again today and poured some for everyone.
"Thank you, godfather and godmother."
Xiaoya was somewhat flattered and shy, but her heart was warmed.
Congratulations!
Everyone raised their glasses in celebration.
Not having to cook for herself, Wei Yuyan ate with great relish, finishing two bowls of rice until she was stuffed.
"You always eat at your house, but you've never eaten at my house. How about coming over for dinner in a couple of days?"
Sister-in-law Zhang felt guilty, as she hadn't even treated anyone to a meal yet.
"We're having dinner at your house because we're celebrating. What's the occasion?"
Wei Yuyan didn't want Zhang's sister-in-law to spend money, as her family was the poorest and it wasn't easy for them to earn a little money.
"This... "
After thinking about it, Sister-in-law Zhang realized that there hadn't been any happy events recently.
"If you ask me, how about we save this meal for the New Year?"
Wei Yuyan thought that the steamed bun shop would also be closed during the Chinese New Year, so everyone could have some fun together.
"The Lunar New Year is still so far away, no, I'll take care of it when I have time."
Sister-in-law Zhang disagreed, saying that people should visit each other and have meals together during the Spring Festival, and they should also get together at other times.
"Okay, might as well eat it."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law joked.
"Hahahahaha".
The three families were having a lively time in the courtyard, with wine and meat, chatting and laughing.
By the end of the month, Wei Yuyan's savings totaled more than thirteen taels and six mace.
Zhang Dasao and her husband were paid 500 coins for their work, while Xiuhua and her husband received 750 coins.
Anyway, it's fifty more coins than last month.
Early September
