e’s head, “You haven’t cared about anything else today except eating! Master Lǐ must be here for business!”"Yes, yes, I heard about it too. Old Master Li gave Mr. Tang an autumn maple tree, and many s...Li Laotai and others were all astonished, after all, it was almost evening.
Mrs. Li then asked, "What's the matter Is there something wrong with Mr. Wen and Jiner"
Qiong's girl quickly waved her hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Madam. Our master and mistress are doing well. It's just that our mistress suddenly craved the egg custard steamed by the Fourth Madam."
And also, if there are any sour fruits in the house, could you perhaps pick some for our mistress Originally, our master wanted to come himself, but he couldn't bear to leave our mistress, so we servants had to make the trip.
Craving something sour Try some sour candy!
Li Laoer and Li Laoshi hadn't figured out what was happening yet, but Li Laotai and Tao Hongying were already standing up in surprise.
Grandmother Li grabbed Qiong's hand and asked, "Is Jiner pregnant"
Qiong's sister smiled from ear to ear and whispered, "The doctor said it's only been two months, and the baby hasn't settled yet. It's best not to spread the news around."
"Yes, yes! Don't go around telling everyone for now, focus on getting well first." Old Madam Li was overjoyed, rubbing her hands and pacing the room, clearly concerned.
“This is Jinrou’s first time, she must be feeling nervous. I should go see her and give her some encouragement!” Li Lao Tai quickly called to her daughter-in-law, “Hongying, steam a big bowl of egg custard for Jinrou first!”
"Oh, Mother, I'll go right away." Tao Hongying was overjoyed and immediately went to the kitchen.
Jia Yin hugged Grandma's arm, her eyes sparkling with joy, "Grandma, I'm going to have a little brother again, right"
"Haha, you can't say that for sure. Whether my younger siblings will come depends on fate. But the child was born to your aunt, so she's lucky." Li Laotai patted her granddaughter and instructed: "Go find some sour fruits and prepare a few snacks for your aunt now. Tomorrow we'll go to the farm to see her and bring more."
"Okay!" Jia Yin replied loudly.
Actually, there were many fruits in her space, but it wasn't convenient to take them out at this time.
So, she called upon her father for help, carrying a small basket and then sat on her father's shoulders to go to the orchard.
At this time, the fruit had just been sun-baked, slightly red, half ripe and unripe, the most sour, juicy.
They picked a basketful in no time, and by the time they got home, the egg custard was also ready.
Qiong's mother didn't linger for a moment. With one hand holding a food box and the other a basket, she quickly ran away without a trace.
The Li family were all delighted for Mr. and Mrs. Wen.
These two people, one has been devoted for many years, and finally got their happy ending. The other was hurt and abandoned by a scumbag because she couldn't have children.
Now, not only have they become husband and wife, but they have also conceived a child. It's truly a sweet ending to a long journey!
“Go to bed right away, and get ready tomorrow morning. Hongying and I will go see Jiner!” Li Laotai called to her daughter-in-law, “Bring plenty of food. In a month, Jiner’s baby will be settled, and we can help make clothes and bedding for the child.”
Okay, listen to your mother! Tao Hongying was calculating what else she could bring.
Jiayin stomped her feet and whined, "Grandma, I want to go too! I want to go too!"
"Alright, go! Let's go together!" Grandma Li lovingly patted her plump granddaughter and smiled. "When we get there tomorrow, spend more time with your aunt. Let her bask in your good fortune, she'll definitely give birth to a big, healthy boy!"
Jia Yin grinned, her grandmother really thought highly of her. She had previously treated her as a lucky charm, and now she was also entrusted with the task of looking after the Guanyin statue for fertility...
The next morning, after the Li family had breakfast, everyone went about their business.
Li Laosi was going to the docks with the Marquis, Li Laoer was heading into the city, running between Baihuayuan and the Relief Agency - he had his hands full.
Tao Hongying prepared some small savory dishes that go well with porridge, tidied them up, and packed them into small jars, ready to take them to the Wen family.
This is all Wenjuan's favorite food, and it should also suit Mrs. Wen's taste at this time.
Then Old Lady Li went to the storehouse and picked out a few soft pieces of fabric, preparing for Madam Wen to make something needlework for the child, to keep her busy.
They are outsiders and it's not good to make too much noise early on, but as a mother, no matter what, she will always be caring when preparing things for her child. The child in the womb will definitely feel more at ease and stay until birth smoothly.
Of course, the Wen family certainly wouldn't be short of these fabrics, but this was Lao Tai Li's heartfelt intention.
When it came to Jia Yin's turn, things became more complex.
She dove headfirst into the space last night, but she had prepared for a long time.
Since she had her own nursery, her mouth was free to eat whatever she wanted.
Whatever you want to eat, as long as you find the seeds or roots, you can eat it soon.
Now the space isn't just as sparse as it used to be, with only apples, pears, and dates.
The perimeter of the homestead was almost entirely covered with fruit trees of various colors.
And each type of fruit tree is further divided into varieties, truly offering a wide selection.
For example, cherries are divided into red cherries and white cherries.
Plums come in purple and yellow.
Peaches include peach, nectarine, and clingstone.
There are many kinds of grapes, covering over 200 square meters of trellises.
Green grapes, purple grapes, red grapes, and even small black grapes hung almost completely over the trellis.
This is also the reason why the little fox doesn't want to go out every time it enters the space - there are just too many delicious things!
Just as Jia Yin was busy selecting fruit, this mischievous furry child, for some unknown reason, got into a tussle with a bee.
His nose was pinched, it swelled up like a red fruit, and he cried out in pain, tears streaming down his face.
Jia Yin felt both pity and amusement, so she ran to the beehive and dug out some honey, which she applied to the little fox's nose.
Needless to say, the rest of the bowl went into the little fox's belly as well.
This box of bees was brought in from the mountain orchard by 佳音 during spring.
In fact, without bees, the fruits and crops in space would never have been harvested or ripened.
Jia Yin didn't know what kind of magical principle this was, but every time she saw flowers blooming everywhere, she couldn't help but feel a sense of waste.
Now, the honeycombs are overflowing with honey, it's just the right time to harvest some and take it away.
But with a basket full of fruit, she chose only one basket of apples and another of sour oranges.
Apples are rich in nutrients, one a day guarantees a healthy child.
As for the oranges... they can be said to be waste utilization!
Last autumn, Jia Yin tasted a somewhat sour fruit at the Hou Mansion and decided to toss its seeds into space to experiment with improving its flavor.
As a result, this orange did not develop in a sweet direction. After it was planted, it became even more sour.
Luckily, this sourness isn't the kind that makes your tongue tingle with acidity. It's a more gentle sort.
Before, Wenjuan's sister-in-law liked what she ate and would eat it every day.
Unfortunately, she's sleeping too much these days. She's practically hibernating, sleeping from dawn till dusk. She barely has time to eat, let alone eat oranges.
Besides fruits and honey, Jia Yin also pulled a lot of vegetables from the backyard, intending to send them to the Wen family together.
Outside, the season is nearing autumn, and vegetables are far less fresh than those grown indoors...
The Li family had originally planned to travel in one horse-drawn carriage, but they had too many things to bring, so they had to use the carriages from the Hou residence as well.
A cart was laden with fruits, vegetables, and other produce. Li Laotai, Tao Hongying, and Jia Yin rode in the cart, while He Mam and Shui Ling followed attentively.ast six months, I've heard that both of the elderly couple are in very poor health.
