Mrs. Lu smiled. âHow is it not light? Iâve already removed all the oil. Well, this is not Shu City. The climate there is different from here. Itâs good for you to eat more. However, the condition here might not be suited to your body yet. If you donât take care of yourself, itâll be bad for your body if you continue to ignore good eating habits. Youâre a doctor; you should understand more about this.â
Cheng Jinnian carefully moved the bowl to the side when he saw Jiang Yaoâs bitter expression. He seemed to be afraid that Jiang Yao would snatch his food, so he said, âAuntie, Sister must know the reason, but she canât do it anyway. So, Auntie, you must control her.â
The corner of Jiang Yaoâs mouth twitched indiscernibly. Did that little devil still pretend that she did not see how he protected his food?
Was that what a person who came to beg for her forgiveness should do?
He should have given the prawns and pork to her.
He did not know how to win peopleâs favor. He only knew how to be an eyesore in the Lu household!
Humph!
Jiang Yao looked up and asked, âYouâve lived here for so many days. When are you going to leave? Arenât you going to leave? Are you going to stay until the New Year to get some cash gifts before leaving?â
Cheng Jinnian lowered his head and ate the food in his bowl. He did not say anything. In any case, he was not going to leave.
Previously, he had been looking for Jiang Yao, his sister, to get closer to her. Then, he enjoyed the excellent food and drinks there.
âYou know, itâs only been a few days, and you canât stand it?â Mrs. Lu was amused by the two siblings. Then, she looked at Jiang Yao, who had improved a lot in the past two days, and asked with a smile, âThen, what will you do after giving birth and going through confinement? According to our custom, people who go through confinement donât put artificial seasoning in their food. Itâs best not to put salt in it, and youâre not even allowed to touch soy sauce. What will you do then?â
Before Jiang Yao could say anything, Mrs. Lu continued to say, âAccording to the custom, when you give birth to your first child, you have to go through double confinement. Itâs 40 days for the usual confinement and 80 days for double confinement. Thatâs more than two months. If you canât take it now, what will you do then? For now, at least you can still walk around. You can go wherever you want to go. When that time comes, youâll have to stay in your room. What will you do then?â
Jiang Yao felt that life was so scary just thinking about it. She was silent for a long time before she replied gloomily, âIâm not giving birth anymore.â
âYouâre backing out now? Who said that you wanted to give birth to more children? Who was the one who said that? Iâm still waiting for a group of grandchildren.â Mrs. Lu did not hold back when she teased Jiang Yao. She did not have the usual reaction of a mother-in-law who would get angry when she heard her daughter-in-law say that she did not want to have children. Instead, she felt that Jiang Yaoâs reaction was adorable.
She was not worried that Jiang Yao did not want to have children anymore. She knew how to read people. Jiang Yao loved children.
âIs my sisterâs child going to call me uncle?â
Cheng Jinnian suddenly asked. âThen Iâll be the elder.â
âYes! Yes! Yes!â Mrs. Lu nodded and smiled. âBut after your sister graduates from college, weâll wait for another three years.â
âIâll be eight years old in three years, and Iâll be an uncle at eight.â Cheng Jinnian looked pleasantly surprised. âThen Iâll definitely be the youngest uncle in the world!â
âDaydreaming?â
Jiang Yao burst Cheng Jinnianâs bubbles⦠One of her childâs uncles worked in the town, and the other was in Jindo City!
