Chapter 271: Blessings from Eight Lifetimes
The news of Zhao Cui'e's premature birth quickly spread throughout the village.
It is said that the Zhao family revealed it on the day when the eldest son of the Zhao family got engaged.
They also specifically asked someone to bring a dozen eggs to Zhao Cui'e.
After hearing this, Xu Yu just sneered.
In a blink of an eye, it was time for Zhao Cui'e and the others to return.
Xu Yu went there early.
Jiang Yi drove to pick them up, so he didn't come back until around three o'clock in the afternoon.
At this time, everyone in the village gathered around to watch the fun.
No matter how healthy Zhao Cui'e was, she couldn't walk several kilometers, so the elders asked Xu Jianping and several young people from the Xu family to tie a stretcher and go to the town to carry Zhao Cui'e back.
When the mother and son arrived home and the sound of firecrackers rang out, everyone smiled and congratulated the Xu family.
Many people gathered around to look at Kang Kang in Zhang Hongmei's arms.
"Oh, this baby is growing up really well, it doesn't look like it was born prematurely at all."
"It's obvious that she has plenty of milk. Cui'e must have been nourishing herself well during this period."
Zhang Hongmei didn't know if it was intentional, so she smiled and replied, "Xiaoyu's family sent a lot of eggs to Cui'e, and they also caught chickens and sent them over. Cui'e can eat eggs and meat every day."
These words made everyone look at Xu Yu again.
His eyes were full of envy.
Someone asked, "Xiaoyu's family sent so many eggs, the Zhao family should have sent quite a few as well."
Zhang Hongmei just smiled and didn't respond.
Unexpectedly, Xu Jianhua, who was protecting his sister, spoke up, and he was particularly loud: "My sister-in-law's parents only gave her a dozen eggs."
Xu Yu raised his hand and touched Xu Jianhua's head, saying to him, "Jianhua, it's better for them to take it than not to take it. You don't have to let everyone know."
After saying that, he took his brother's hand and followed them in.
The villagers who stayed to watch the fun were discussing it slowly.
When the Zhao family arrived, they were greeted with everyone pointing and talking.
They could actually come earlier, but they felt that if they came too early they would just be waiting and it would be better for them to do more work at home, so they did not see them the first time Zhao Cui'e came back.
When they came to Zhao Cui'e's house to visit the mother and son, Xu Yu was sitting next to them.
As soon as the Zhao family came in, they went to see the baby first. Seeing that the baby was white and chubby, they all praised the baby for his good looks.
Finally, I came to see Zhao Cui'e.
Zhao Cui'e's expression towards them was indifferent. She would answer their questions and close her eyes when she didn't want to say anything more.
Xu Yu sent them away: "Sister-in-law is still very weak, you just need to look after her and Kang Kang, let her have a good rest."
A group of people went out.
After they arrived at Xu Kui's house, Xu Yu looked at his sister-in-law, whose expression was still indifferent, and said, "Sister-in-law, you must keep a good mood during the confinement period. Don't pay attention to those who only pay superficial attention to you."
Zhao Cui'e nodded and smiled at her: "I'm just tired of sitting in the car. I know what kind of people they are. It doesn't matter."
Xu Yu gave her a head massage.
Zhao Cui'e felt comfortable with the massage and soon fell asleep.
Kang Kang was sleeping next to Zhao Cui'e. Seeing that he was also sleeping soundly, Xu Yu also went out.
Everyone was in the house over there, so it was relatively quiet here. Xu Yu thought for a moment, then called Xu Jianhua and a few other children over and whispered to them, "You stay here to look after your sister-in-law. Don't speak too loudly. Jianhua will play for a while, so go check on her. If she wakes up, come and call us immediately."
Several children nodded immediately, then silently took out the stones, squatted on the ground and picked up the stones to play with silently.
Xu Yu went over.
Xu Yu came over and found Jiang Yi, and said to him with a smile: "Brother Yi, thank you for your hard work."
Jiang Yi looked at her and wanted to reach out and touch her belly, but there were so many people around, so he gave up the idea and said, "It's not hard."
Then ask: "What did you do here today?"
He was afraid that she would do something, so whenever she left his sight, he would ask.
Xu Yu said to him: "Watch the aunts clean up the house of eldest brother and sister-in-law."
Jiang Yi hummed.
The two of them didn't go over, but just stood there watching Xu Jianjun and the others being surrounded with smiles on their faces.
After watching for a while, Xu Yu smiled and said to Jiang Yi, "Brother Yi, when I give birth, there will definitely be a lot of people coming to watch the fun. Don't scare them away with your cold face."
Jiang Yi replied simply, "No."
Xu Yu looked at his face and couldn't help but continue laughing.
Xu Jianping happened to come over and said to Xu Yu with a smile: "Sister, what are you laughing at?"
Xu Yu looked at him and said deliberately, "We were talking about what you, as their uncle, would prepare for them after I give birth."
"They must be what Kang Kang has."
After that, he whispered, "I will definitely be rich by then, and I will only give them more."
Xu Yu was touched by his second brother's favoritism and said, "When the time comes, just come visit them more often. They have more than enough things to use, so you don't need to spend money preparing them."
"How are they the same?"
"Why is it different? If you really want to give the babies the best, why not..." At this point, Xu Yu looked at him with a turn of the eyes. When Xu Jianping thought to himself that it was not good, he smiled and said, "Find them an aunt."
Xu Jianping subconsciously reached out to tap her forehead.
But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he retracted it and said to her, "You deserve a beating, mom doesn't urge me, so you are not allowed to urge me either."
"That's because Mom doesn't know that Sister Yanni has given up on you. Plus, her eldest grandson is out and she doesn't have time to take care of you. Do you think she'll start to focus on you again once she finds out about you and Sister Yanni?"
Xu Jianping shrugged nonchalantly: "We'll talk about it then. Anyway, I have Kang Kang now, so I can have some peace and quiet for a while."
Then he told Jiang Yi about his next pork sale: "The pig farm has sold half of the pigs. After they are sold, I will go to find the manager of the Shangping Village pig farm."
He now basically slaughters two pigs a week and sells them to the county town.
Xu Yu thought of something and asked him, "Will you get any benefits from helping Shangping Village sell pork?"
Xu Jianping immediately said seriously, "We are all helping each other. How can I accept the benefits?"
Xu Yu said to him, "You are a pig. You spent so much effort to find the client. Now you are helping the Shangping Village Pig Farm. You still have to ask for what you deserve."
After saying that, he pulled Jiang Yi in: "Brother Yi, don't you agree?"
Jiang Yi hummed.
Seeing that they all agreed to take it, Xu Jianping asked, "Then what do I want?"
Jiang Yi thought for a moment and said, "You can ask for some money for each pig, or you can just ask for the pork directly."
Xu Jianping thought about it: "If I ask for money, I'm afraid people will gossip about me, but I can't release the pork at this time."
As he spoke, his brows furrowed.
Xu Yu helped him think of a solution: "Why don't you use the pork to make bacon, so it can be stored."
Xu Jianping shook his head: "It's so hot right now, it's hard to cook bacon."
"Then find a way to do it well." Xu Yu said to him, "Don't just think about raising and selling pigs. You also need to find more ways to store pork so that you can sell it to more distant places in the future."
Jiang Yi agreed: "Xiaoyu is right."
Xu Jianping stopped talking and obviously started thinking.
In the evening, all the Xu family members had dinner together, and the Zhao family members were also there. Zhang Hongmei also specially asked Xu Jianhua to call Yang Wenhui and Jiang Qingyun over.
Looking at the postpartum meal Zhang Hongmei had specially prepared for Zhao Cui'e, a large bowl filled with chicken thigh meat and even fish soup, Zhao Yunxiang felt jealous: "Second sister, you must be eating so well during your postpartum period."
She saw that other women could eat enough during their confinement period, and two eggs a day at most, but why was it so good for her second sister?
"I also want to marry into a family as good as my brother-in-law in the future."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at her.
Mother Zhao said a few words to her, and then flattered the Xu family in various ways.
After dinner, Xu Yu and Yang Wenhui went to see their sister-in-law and baby together.
Mother Zhao and Zhao Yunxiang also followed.
Zhao Cui'e saw Yang Wenhui and greeted her with a smile.
Yang Wenhui looked at the baby and couldn't help but praise him several times. She also asked Zhao Cui'e to take good care of herself during the confinement period. There were plenty of eggs at home, so she could eat whatever she wanted.
Zhao Cui'e was too embarrassed to do so, so she refused.
Unexpectedly, Mother Zhao immediately agreed for her: "Thank you, Sister Yang. Our Cui'e has such a good sister-in-law like Xiaoyu. It is really a blessing that we have cultivated for eight lifetimes."
