"Sister, can you lend me your camera?" Zhao Yueling thought of something else and changed the subject.
Jian Shu didn't ask what she was going to use it for, but simply nodded in agreement, "I'll give it to you after dinner."
"Okay!" Zhao Yueling smiled happily.
After finishing their meal, Jianshu took the two of them on a leisurely walk towards the supply and marketing cooperative, explaining what was going on over there and what was happening over there. They occasionally met a few people along the way, some of whom nodded as a greeting, while others just passed by without even glancing at them.
Meng Ying had been observing silently, and when she arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, she casually asked, "Shushu, who were those people just now?"
Jianshu was choosing the fish she wanted to eat for lunch today. They were lucky because there was fish in the supply today.
"Oh, they are the sisters-in-law from the family compound, but I can't tell whose families they are from."
"Why? Don't you usually interact much? Or is your relationship not good?"
Jian Shu realized something was wrong and turned to look at Meng Ying. He then pulled her to a more secluded place and explained, "Don't worry, Auntie. I haven't been wronged. I'm just not used to getting involved in trouble. I don't usually interact with other people, so I'm not very familiar with them."
"Although I don't get along with them, I get along well with Sister Xiufang. However, Sister Xiufang is at work now. I'll introduce you to each other when she's on break."
There are many gossips when there are many people around, and most of them are just superficial relationships. They are nice to each other on the surface, but I don’t know how they talk about other people’s right and wrong behind their backs.
Meng Ying also understood this. Seeing her smile when she mentioned Sister Xiufang, she nodded and said, "That's the one you mentioned earlier who took good care of you, right? When I see her later, I will definitely thank her."
After discussing this topic, the three of them bought two fish and some vegetables and went home.
Ever since Meng Ying and Zhao Yueling came, Jianshu's life has been so comfortable.
Every day when we wake up at a certain time, we have breakfast, and after that we take a walk together, and then come back for a snack. In my free time, Zhao Yueling also accompanies me to pass the time, and we chat and banter with each other, so I don’t feel bored at all.
You know, she was alone at home some time ago, and she didn't dare to hold her mobile phone every day, nor could she go out to play. She was so idle that she almost got moldy.
Besides, Meng Ying’s cooking skills are much better than Gu Mingjing’s half-baked one.
In addition, she had plenty of time, so she found different ways to feed Jianshu delicious food every day. If she wasn't afraid that the child would grow too big and couldn't eat too much, she would have fattened up the child.
It's a rare good day.
"Aunt, I want to eat the braised pork with preserved vegetables that you make tomorrow." Jian Shu sat bored in the chair, feeling drowsy from the sun, but he couldn't help swallowing when he thought of the delicious food.
She thinks the baby in her belly is a foodie who thinks about eating every day, but it’s not that she likes to eat!
"Okay, I'll make it for you tomorrow. I just happen to have a piece of meat at home."
Meng Ying and Zhao Yueling were drying various small clothes, quilts, diapers and so on.
"Aunt, Lingling, you two should take a break. You take these things out to dry every few days, so one day won't make a difference." Jianshu felt tired just looking at them.
It has to be scalded with boiling water, rubbed with hands, and exposed to the sun. The whole process is so troublesome. The key is that it is not just once or twice. Basically, every time there is strong sunshine, you have to take it out and repeat the above series of actions.
"You know what? Children's clothes need the most attention. Children's skin is delicate, so the fabric needs to be rubbed a lot, and it needs to be worn and soft to be comfortable. Children are prone to illness, so their clothes need to be carefully prepared. If they are left in a box and smell musty, how can the child be healthy?"
Meng Ying didn't listen to her at all. She ordered her aunt to hang up the remaining children's clothes, and then she ran into the house to move out the cradle and other things.
Washing and scrubbing, busy all the time.
At this time, Wu Xiufang walked in with a plate of fried cakes.
"Aunt? Are you busy?"
"Xiufang is here? Come and sit down. It's a good time to chat with Shushu. She's been complaining about being bored." Meng Ying has become familiar with Wu Xiufang these days and is no longer shy with her.
"Sister-in-law, come and sit down!" Jianshu waved at her.
"Oh, okay!"
Looking at Jianshu's big belly, Wu Xiufang carefully reached out and touched it, asking, "Is the due date coming soon? When are you planning to go to the hospital?"
Jian Shu let her touch her belly freely while she ate a piece of fried cake. "It's still half a month away, but my aunt said it might be earlier. We should go to live in the city a few days in advance."
Wu Xiufang moved the fried cakes further away, ignoring Jianshu's accusing glance, and nodded, "We have to go early. This baby is born so suddenly. If we wait until the baby is born before rushing over, the road will be bumpy and waste time."
"That's right. We'll feel more at ease if we move in earlier." Jian Shu ate the fried cake in her hand with care. Meng Ying had been paying more attention to her diet these days, and she was eating less and less fried food.
"By the way, sister-in-law, when we leave, you'll need to help look after the house. I'll be very sorry to bother you then."
"It's a small matter, just leave it to me. You can rest assured at home. The real thing is to give birth to the baby. I'm waiting to send you eggs!" Wu Xiufang agreed without hesitation.
After talking for a few more words, she saw that Jian Shu looked tired, so she didn't bother him any more and stood up to say goodbye.
Jianshu woke up from a nap and found no one at home. He looked around and found the mother and daughter catching chickens in the corner of the vegetable garden.
No, it should be said that it was Zhao Yueling who caught the chicken and Meng Ying who was watching her catch the chicken.
Seeing Zhao Yueling looking so messy while catching the chicken, which didn't look like she was catching the chicken at all, but rather like she was being caught by the chicken, with dust all over her face and a few chicken feathers on her head, Jianshu couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Haha—Lingling, if everyone caught chickens like you, we wouldn't be able to eat chicken anymore."
Zhao Yueling blushed, "I haven't caught it before, I just need more practice."
She had killed quite a few chickens, but most of them had their wings tied and could not escape. This was the first time she had caught them in the chicken coop by herself, and it was even the first time she had seen a chicken coop.
