◎Third update◎
Liang Baozhen coughed lightly, checked that there was no one at Zhang Rong's door, and pinched the soft flesh on Cheng Caili's waist.
"Sister Caili, why do you say everything?"
Cheng Caili didn't take it seriously and said with a smile, "What's the big deal? We are not grown-up girls, so there is nothing to be shy about! You can ask Nianhua, otherwise, why would Zhou Qingdang be better off looking for a partner? It's obviously not right, isn't it?"
Liu Nianhua was suddenly named, how could she tell Zhou Qingdang about it? Now she didn't know what Zhou Qingdang was thinking, and he didn't come to bother her, but she didn't definitely not go on the blind date.
Zhang Rong came over to talk from time to time, and complained to Liu Nianhua several times, saying that she felt her son had grown up and she could no longer see through him, and she was worried.
Liu Nianhua was so angry that she dared not even breathe when listening to Auntie Zhang's muttering. She was afraid that Auntie Zhang would know Zhou Qingdang's previous feelings for her, and those two might not even be able to be neighbors.
"How should I know?" Liu Nianhua said vaguely, just wanting to end the topic quickly.
"Anyway, I think there must be some problem. The elders are not in a hurry to get married. Aunt Zhang is so anxious that her hair is turning white." Cheng Caili sighed as she thought of something. "Logically speaking, Zhou Qingdang has good conditions in all aspects. He should be able to find a good partner. I wonder what he is waiting for."
Liu Nianhua didn't dare to say anything after hearing this. She had nothing to do with Zhou Qingdang, but she felt inexplicably guilty.
Liang Baozhen noticed that Liu Nianhua had been keeping his head down and not saying anything, so she helped to change the conversation to the child. Originally, Cheng Caili had just said it casually during a private chat and let it go, so she didn't take it too seriously.
As the three were talking, Luo Hongmei suddenly came back from outside, shouting anxiously throughout the yard that she was going to be a grandmother again, and this time she was guaranteed to have a grandson.
It turned out that Yao Haoyu and Wang Xiaocui were going to be parents again, and Wang Xiaocui just announced it to the public after just three months.
Luo Hongmei observed her daughter-in-law for a while and saw that her reaction was exactly the same as when she was pregnant with her son. She immediately concluded that Wang Xiaocui was pregnant with a boy, which made her very happy.
"Congratulations."
"Your family has another happy event."
We all know each other, and no matter what frictions there are in normal times, we still have to say congratulations at this time.
Luo Hongmei was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. It was a rare chance for her to praise her daughter-in-law. Although Wang Xiaocui and Yao Haoyu's relationship was not glorious, she was married into the family. What else could she do? "Our Xiaocui is a very capable woman. This baby is definitely a son. When it's born, I'll give everyone candies."
Luo Hongmei, who has always been stingy, wanted to treat everyone to candy, which everyone found rare.
Wang Xiaocui and her ex-husband gave birth to three sons and have always had a good reputation. People said that her belly was strong and she could walk with her head held high. Luo Hongmei deeply felt that the previous granddaughter was an accident, and this grandson was a normal child!
Luo Hongmei, in a good mood, looked at Liang Baozhen and the other two sitting in the courtyard and kindly advised, "Baozhen, Caili, you should also hurry up. The first child should be a lady. It is right to hurry up and give birth to a big fat boy!"
Liang Baozhen looked at her with a smile, "Auntie Luo, don't worry about it. We have a good daughter-in-law at home."
"Auntie Luo, you should just focus on taking care of your daughter-in-law. And Lily, the little girl is so skinny, so give her some food to eat." Cheng Caili also spoke to her.
"What's our family's business? You gotta mind your own business?" Luo Hongmei was not willing to raise her granddaughter well, but she still felt ashamed when an outsider said it directly.
Cheng Caili smiled when she heard this, "You also know that outsiders shouldn't meddle in other people's affairs?"
The implication was obvious. Luo Hongmei turned pale and was too lazy to bother with these people. Women who don't even have children are just thinking about going out to work and make money. How shameless!
It’s still better to be at home. I can hold my grandchildren soon.

After talking for a while, Liang Baozhen went home to help her grandmother cook. In the afternoon, Xu Shengya returned home after finishing the first day of the college entrance examination.
Liang Baozhen discussed with her family in advance and told them not to ask Xiaoya about the exam and grades, so as not to affect her mood. It would be better for her to finish the exam well and talk about it in the next two days.
Xu Shengya went home to eat dinner and seemed to be in good condition. Zhou Yun gave his granddaughter a few more pieces of meat so that she could eat more.
The family had to eat well during these three days, and Xu Shengya had a bowl of egg custard every day.
"Grandma, you guys eat too." Xu Shengya took a clean spoon and scooped egg custard into everyone's bowls.
When it was Shanshan's turn, the little girl was the most excited. She pushed the small bowl in front of her to the left and said, "Aunt, Shanshan wants to eat!"
"Okay, Shanshan, eat more."
"Shanshan doesn't eat much. Shanshan only eats one spoonful." Shanshan shook her head and gave Xu Shengya a big smile. "Aunt, eat more. It will nourish your brain."
These days, she often heard people at home letting her aunt eat a lot of delicious food, saying that it would help her brain.
The little girl seemed to understand what he said, she touched her head and said slowly, "Shanshan has a small head, just eat a spoonful and it will be replenished."
After saying that, he scooped the egg custard into his mouth. Mmm! It smells so good!
After Xu Shengya relaxed her mind, the college entrance examination went smoothly. After the exam, she sat on the back seat of her eldest brother's bicycle and said with a smile.
"Brother, if I get admitted to Beijing University, I want to tell my parents."
Xu Shengjie was riding his bicycle in front and murmured, "Okay, we'll burn some paper when the time comes."
When we got home, everyone in the family completely relaxed, but the dust had settled on what the final outcome would be.
Liang Baozhen wiped Shanshan's mouth and said to Xu Shengya, "Estimate your scores when the time comes. I remember that the admission score of Peking University was 403 last year. I estimate that it will not change much this year. Of course, it would be better if you can get a little higher."
"Okay." Xu Shengya said softly while eating, "I think I did well in the exam."
"Since you think so, there will be no problem!" Xu Shengjie asked his sister to think about what kind of reward she wanted. Now that the conditions at home have improved, he can do whatever she wants.
"Then I'll think about it carefully this summer."
Xu Shengjie nodded and agreed, then he remembered something, "I'm going to Guangdong next month."
In the past six months, Hong Saner is still the one who mainly handles the purchasing. They also hired two other workers, and everything is running in order.
"How long will it take?" Liang Baozhen raised her eyes and looked at him.
"Not too long, a week at most."
"Oh." Liang Baozhen nodded, but before she could say anything else, Shanshan spoke first.
"Dad, bring me some fat."
When Xu Shengjie heard what his daughter said, he was immediately happy. He went over and pinched her chubby little face, "Dad will definitely come back soon. He will come back as soon as he finishes his work. There will be no delay."
"Yeah! Dad is a good boy." Shanshan was satisfied and gave her father the highest verbal praise.
After all, the highest verbal praise I have ever received is - Shanshan is good~
——
Xu Shengya went to estimate her scores and fill out her application form with her sister-in-law Liang Baozhen and Shanshan. The estimated scores were about the same as she expected, around 420, so she boldly filled out Peking University as her first choice.
As long as you pass the score line, all you have to do next is wait for the admission letter.
After filling out the application form, Liang Baozhen looked down at the girl jumping on the road and said to Xu Shengya, "Look at the bicycles at home and decide which one you want to ride. When school starts in September, it will be convenient for you to ride a bicycle."
"It's all right." Xu Shengya remembered that her elder brother and sister-in-law often used it, and was worried that it would be inconvenient for them. "If I ride one away, what will you do when you go out?"
"Let your elder brother walk." Liang Baozhen answered straightforwardly.
Xu Shengya smiled, with smiles in her eyes.
"Shanshan, run slower." Liang Baozhen and Xu Shengya walked leisurely. It was a rare opportunity for them to go out, so they had already told their grandmother in advance that they would not go back for lunch.
Liang Baozhen is going to take her sister-in-law to the department store to buy things for her. After all, she will soon be a college student, so she must buy a new bag, a notebook, and a pen...
Shanshan didn't care about her mother and aunt behind her, she just ran around on the wide road. Her legs were still short now, but she was very energetic when she ran.
But after running for a while, he got tired, his chubby face turned red, and he ran back to hug his mother's thighs, "Mom, hug me."
Liang Baozhen picked up the girl. Shanshan, who was over two years old, was much heavier. Even if Liang Baozhen had strong arms, she couldn't hold her for too long. "Why is she so heavy?"
"Shanshan has a good appetite." Xu Shengya looked at her little niece. Her eyes were big, bright and watery, and her cheeks were white and tender. Her niece was the most adorable baby.
"Shanshan doesn't eat much." Shanshan shook her head. She wasn't that great.
"Xiao Ya, take out the handkerchief from my bag." Liang Baozhen couldn't open the bag while holding the child, so she waited for Xu Shengya to help her take out the handkerchief before she took it and wiped the sweat off the girl's face.
Shanshan wrapped her arms around her mother's neck and leaned back. Her mother's body smelled so good and soft. She loved being hugged by her mother. It was so comfortable.
Liang Baozhen walked forward holding her daughter and Xu Shengya. Shanshan turned her head back and watched the street scenery moving backwards, getting farther and farther away from her. She felt it was magical.
After a while, the three of them walked to the park. There were eucalyptus trees standing on both sides with lush branches and leaves. The sun was shining brightly, shining through the dense layers of leaves and falling to the ground through the gaps between the leaves. The asphalt road under the shade of the trees was filled with light and dark shadows.
Shanshan looked at the ground and thought the color was so beautiful. She looked upwards along the light and saw the sunlight shining through the gaps between the leaves. It was bright and beautiful.
She stretched out her right hand and placed it under the gap, watching as a ray of light suddenly appeared on her little hand. She touched the light in her right hand with her left hand, and hey, it went through!
Liang Baozhen and Xu Shengya walked slowly through the trees. Shanshan watched the sunlight in her hands disappear. Alas, she still didn't understand.
"Xiaoya, let's go buy two bottles of soda." Liang Baozhen felt a little thirsty. When she saw someone selling Arctic Ocean soda at a stall in front of her, she suddenly felt her lips watering.
"good."
"Comrade, two bottles of soda and one bottle of mineral water."
Taking a sip of the chilled Arctic Ocean soda makes you feel like you've lived in a sunny day.
Shanshan, who was the only one gulping down mineral water, felt very aggrieved because her mother and aunt were drinking orange soda, but she was drinking white water.
"Mom, drink some soda." Shanshan took a few big gulps of mineral water, but her eyes were always fixed on the soda bottle.
"Then you can only drink one sip." Liang Baozhen thought for a moment and decided that a child this young could only taste the soda at most and it would be better if he didn't drink too much.
"Okay~" Shanshan answered straightforwardly.
Her mother fed her a small sip of soda, but she was reluctant to swallow it, so she held it in her mouth and felt that her whole little mouth was fragrant.
When she went to bed that night, Shanshan still felt that she smelled good.
