Chapter 96: Chapter 96 - 96 with a Small Bun on the Side_1

Seeing her mother-in-law in such a hurry, Meng Yunhan felt slightly relieved. Next time there is farming work, her younger sister will be able to rest at home!

After all, the corn hadn’t been planted yet, so after a few days of rest, they would have to get busy again.

Mother Yun hurried over to Yun Men’s house.

Upon arrival, she saw her daughter’s family about to have a meal.

Mother Zhang and Father Zhang, living with their younger son Zhang Jiang, immediately welcomed her warmly upon her arrival, “Dear, come join us for a meal.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Mother, why have you come?” Yun Men was a bit flustered. Why had her mother come?

Mother Yun then noticed her daughter’s belly. Having seen her daughter-in-law’s belly at three months last year, this was certainly a four-month pregnancy belly.

“Dear, dear mother, I just came to ask if there are any twins in your family history?”

Zhang Jiang understood his mother-in-law’s intention as his son had already told him upon his return home.

He quickly replied, “Mother, I plan to take Xiaomen to town tomorrow for a check-up.”

Actually, in this era, there was no need for such a check-up. Typically, a midwife would simply come to the house for the birth.

It took a while for Mother and Father Zhang to understand. “Mother, are you suggesting that Xiaomen is pregnant with twins?”

“Yes, that’s what I mean,” she replied.

“That’s wonderful! You might not know this, but my maternal grandmother had a set of twins.”

Zhang Jiang looked at his mother in confusion. Why hadn’t he heard about this before?

Mother Zhang sighed, “Ah, there was hardly any food back then, and we were struck by a drought. They were too small to…to survive.”

“Alright, dear, dear mother, I will be heading back home first.”

“Dear Mother, stay for a meal!” Father Zhang warmly invited Mother Yun.

At this point in time, life for farmers was very basic.

“No need, no need. My daughter-in-law is waiting for me at home, I have to go back.”

“Granny, I want to go with you. I want some rice taffy.”

“Okay.” Mother Yun took her grandson Zhang Yunxuan with her when she left.

Father Zhang and Mother Zhang knew that their grandson had been going to his grandmother’s house almost every day for the past month to eat the delicious food her aunt had been preparing.

“Xiaomen, Little Zhuzi should stay here from time to time and not always go to his grandmother’s house.” During this time, food was extremely precious.

Yun Men showed a troubled look. “Mother, I have talked to Little Zhuzi, but he said his aunt has promised to prepare something for me to eat and if I don’t go, it would waste the food. How could we waste food?”

Yun Men didn’t know what to say to her son’s explanation.

Zhang Jiang laughed heartily, “Little Shitou is so amusing, and he’s not wrong. Third Sister-in-law is a great cook and makes lots of snacks.”

As for the snacks her son brought home, Yun Men didn’t know what to say. She often wondered how her third sister-in-law could be so smart, making treats that tasted even better than those sold at the cooperative store. Her son shared these treats with her, enabling her to share the joy of these snacks made by her sister-in-law.

Meng Yunhan awaited her mother-in-law’s return before they had a meal. Not only did her mother-in-law return, but she also brought a little grandchild with her.

Father Yun saw his wife return home, also bringing with her their grandson.

And they all had a meal together.

“Zhang Jiang said he would take Xiaomen to town tomorrow for a check-up. My mother-in-law also told me that her mother had a set of twins which she was unable to raise.”
