“This is milk powder, right? Goodness, there are actually 3 cans of milk powder. Where did Younger Sister get it?”
Looking at the letter, Gu Yunting said: “Yes, Younger Sister said she found a way to get 3 cans of milk powder at a low price. She said it’s for Second Sister-in-law to give to Zhuangzhuang to drink. She also said that if it’s not enough, just write her a letter and she still has some.”
Su Miao didn't expect that these 3 cans of milk powder were actually sent to her for Zhuangzhuang.
That's milk powder! Even in the city, not everyone can buy it. It's always been a scarce commodity; even with money and coupons, you sometimes can't buy it.
And Younger Sister-in-law, whenever she has a channel to get milk powder, she thinks of Zhuangzhuang.
This couldn't help but move Su Miao.
“Three cans of milk powder, Second Brother's wife, you take them and give them to Zhuangzhuang to drink.” Yao Chunhua felt sorry for her daughter spending money, but when she heard her eldest son say her daughter wanted to give it to Zhuangzhuang, she picked up the three cans of milk powder and gave them to Su Miao.
“Mother, no, one can is enough for Zhuangzhuang. You and Father should drink some too.” Su Miao dared not accept all three cans.
“Take it if I give it to you. Both you and Zhuangzhuang should drink some. This milk powder is good for both adults and children. Your father and I don't need any.” Yao Chunhua wouldn't compete with her junior for food, especially since she knew Zhuangzhuang had a large appetite, and although Su Miao had breast milk, it wasn't enough to satisfy Zhuangzhuang.
In order to breastfeed Zhuangzhuang, Su Miao had also become quite thin after her confinement.
Both mother and son need to replenish their bodies.
Finally, Su Miao still accepted them.
“Just remember your younger sister's kindness. She's so far away, yet she still thinks of you and Zhuangzhuang.” Yao Chunhua instructed.
It's fine to accept the gifts, but we cannot forget our daughter's kindness.
“Yes, Mother, I remember.” Su Miao quickly replied.
“Huh, what's this? It looks like roast chicken.”
“Is this roast duck?”
“Impossible! How could these things be sent by mail!”
When Gu Yun Nan took out the roast duck and roast chicken, everyone was stunned.
After tearing open the outer layer of transparent film, they clearly saw six in total: three large ones, which should be roast ducks, and three smaller ones, which should be roast chickens.
“Younger Sister mentioned in her letter that she indeed sent us three roast ducks and three roast chickens!” Gu Yunting said.
Yao Chunhua was a little dazed, “I remember that this package from Ningning to our place would take at least four or five days, right?”
“Yes.” Gu Yunting replied, looking at the time, the letter was sent by Younger Sister five days ago.
“Even… even if it's winter now and it’s cold in the Northwest, wouldn't cooked food spoil by the time it reaches us?”
Cooked food doesn't keep well, even in winter, it should spoil in a day or two.
“It doesn't look spoiled.” Gu Yunzhou picked up a roast chicken, looked it over, and then…
The aroma of roast chicken wafted over, and Gu Yunzhou couldn't help but say, “To know if it’s spoiled or not, let's eat it! I'll try first.”
Although Gu Yunzhou had eaten roasted sparrows before, he had never eaten roast chicken or roast duck; he had only heard about them from his aunt who married in the county town.
It really does smell delicious.
Speaking, Gu Yunzhou tore off a chicken leg, put it in his mouth and took a bite, his eyes widened immediately, and he quickly took several more bites.
“Delicious! Delicious! It's really delicious!”
Gu Yunzhou had never eaten such delicious roast chicken. It's unlike any previous roasted sparrow or chicken soup. This roast chicken is so delicious that he almost cried.
In a few bites, Gu Yunzhou finished the chicken leg. When he reached for another, Yao Chunhua slapped his hand away.
“You little rascal, you only know how to eat! Other people need to eat too!”
Gu Yunzhou was a little aggrieved, “Mother, I was just testing if it was spoiled. Besides, there are six! Younger Sister definitely told us not to be stingy. Mother, should I chop this roast chicken and a roast duck and let the whole family eat?”
Gu Yunting echoed, “Younger Sister did tell us not to be stingy, saying she'd send more if we liked them.”
In the end, Yao Chunhua couldn't refuse them. Gu Yunzhou quickly took a roast duck and the roast chicken he had just taken a leg from to chop into small pieces.
“Eldest Son, take a roast duck and a roast chicken to the Old House.” Old Man Gu said, adding that they wouldn’t forget Mother and his younger brother’s family when there’s good food.
“Okay, I’ll go right now.” Having said that, Gu Yunting took a roast duck and went.
At the Old House, when Gu Yunting brought the roast duck that no one had ever eaten, or even seen, everyone was very happy. After learning it was from Ningning, they repeatedly praised Gu Jia Ning for being kind.
Even Grandmother, with red eyes, pulled Gu Yunting, repeatedly asking about Gu Jia Ning's situation. Only when she learned that she was doing well did Grandmother feel relieved.
“Remember to tell Ningning to take care of herself, you know?” Grandmother repeatedly urged.
“Yes, Grandmother, I’ll remember. I’ll write down your words when I reply to Ningning.”
“Yes, yes.”
When Gu Yunting returned from the Old House, Gu Yunzhou had already chopped the roast duck and roast chicken, two large plates, which were brought out.
“Here we go, here we go, come eat the fragrant roast duck and roast chicken!”
Yao Chunhua felt a little distressed. These two large plates, if saved, could last a long time.
But thinking of her daughter’s instructions in the letter, she finally let the Third Son have his way.
So, the Gu Family members came forward one by one, either eating roast duck or roast chicken.
Let’s just say, the taste is really good!
“So fragrant! Is this how delicious cooked food can be?”
“How is this roast duck made? I swear, this is the best duck I have ever eaten.”
“……”
Everyone marveled.
However…
Yang Manman, after receiving a roast duck leg from her husband, took a bite, and found it really delicious and fragrant!
However, as she took a second bite, she suddenly felt nauseous and had an urge to vomit.
Finally, she couldn't hold it back, hurriedly gave the roast duck to her husband, and went to the corner to vomit.
“Manman, what's wrong?” Gu Yunting hurriedly went over, looking at her with worry in his eyes. “Are you sick? Does your stomach feel uncomfortable?”
Others also looked at Yang Manman strangely. The roast duck and roast chicken were delicious, why did Eldest Sister-in-law vomit?
But Yao Chunhua, seeing this scene, was thoughtful.
She walked over and said, “Eldest Daughter-in-law, could you be pregnant?”
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderclap, exploding among everyone in the Gu Family.
Gu Yunting was stunned.
Pregnant? Is that what she meant?
And Yang Manman, after vomiting several times, couldn't vomit anything out.
After a while, hearing her mother-in-law’s words, she didn't react for a moment.
Before, during Younger Sister-in-law's time before her marriage, she had been receiving treatment for her body until Younger Sister-in-law got married. She said that her body was fine and she could get pregnant.
