Chapter 132 Xiaoman Day Banquet
"Yuwei, is Yuwei at home?"
Jiang Yuwei heard the noise in the yard and walked out:
"I'm at home. How come Aunt Zhang has time to come over?"
When Aunt Zhang saw Jiang Yuwei coming out, she took her hand with a beaming look on her face and said with a smile:
"My Xiaoman is holding a hundred-day banquet today. I came here specially to invite you to the banquet. You are my Xiaoman's great benefactor, so you must be there!"
Jiang Yuwei smiled:
"What's the point of being a benefactor or not? We live next to each other, and anyone who sees this will help."
Aunt Zhang waved her hands and said:
"Hey, you can't say anything. Even if others saw it, they wouldn't dare to help deliver the baby. Our whole family will remember your kindness forever. You must come over at noon. If the people in your courtyard don't mind, you can come with us to have some fun. It will be more festive with more people."
Jiang Yuwei nodded and smiled:
"Okay, we'll come over to help you once we finish our work in the hospital."
When Aunt Zhang saw that Jiang Yuwei agreed, she said goodbye to her happily and went to deliver the letter to someone else's house.
Jiang Yuwei found a new set of clothes for Ning Wan to change into, and asked Ning Huaizhi to go back to the room and change clothes as well:
"Huaizhi, we're going to Aunt Zhang's house for a feast. They won't cook at noon. Take the idiot with you. Wash his face. It's not good to bring him there with a dirty face."
Ning Huaizhi reluctantly said "hmm" and went into the house to change clothes.
Jiang Yuwei went to the backyard to talk to Ning Daya and the others. Tiezhu and Ning Wu were also going to have lunch there anyway, so Daya wouldn't be missing.
"Daya, when you finish your work in the backyard, go over there first. Remember to feed some grass to the cattle and sheep before you leave."
After Jiang Yuwei finished explaining everything, she went back to the front yard and changed her clothes. She also found a piece of new gray-blue cloth from the box and prepared to give it to Xiaoyun so that she could make clothes for Xiaoman. Jiang Yuwei thought that with so many people going to her house, a single piece of cloth would not be enough, so she picked out two large rabbit skins from her cabinet where she kept animal skins and packed them together to send to Aunt Zhang's house.
Now the chickens, ducks and geese in the backyard have started laying eggs. Jiang Yuwei took a basket to the backyard and picked up all the eggs laid today. Then she called Ning Huaizhi:
"Huaizhi, have you packed? Aunt Zhang has a lot of family members here today, so let's go over early to help."
The idiot was seen pushing Ning Huaizhi's wheelchair out of the room. Jiang Yuwei didn't know what method Ning Huaizhi used to make this arrogant idiot listen to him so much.
Jiang Yuwei took a close look at the cleaned-up idiot and felt that his features were somewhat similar to Ning Huaizhi's. When she picked him up from the hillside that day, she also felt that he looked familiar, so she decided to save him. Now that he was standing with Ning Huaizhi, they did look somewhat alike.
"Huaizhi, have you noticed that this idiot looks a bit like you?"
Ning Huaizhi frowned, raised his head and glanced back at the idiot who was pushing his wheelchair, thought for a moment and nodded:
"He does look a bit like me, but he's not as good-looking as me."
Jiang Yuwei held her forehead, men...
Ning Wan couldn't wait to hear that she was going to Aunt Zhang's house to see her little brother today. She pulled Jiang Yuwei's sleeve and said anxiously:
"Mom, are you ready? Let's go over there quickly."
Jiang Yuwei looked at Ning Wan who was standing at her feet and said with a smile:
"Okay, okay, let's go now."
After saying that, he picked up Ning Wan and motioned the fool to follow him. However, he turned his head away and didn't even look at him. Ning Huaizhi saw this and said in a deep voice:
"Idiot, push me out."
After hearing Ning Huaizhi's words, the fool pushed his wheelchair out immediately as if a puppet had received an order.
Jiang Yuwei shook her head helplessly, followed behind to lock the gate, and then led Ning Wan to Aunt Zhang's house.
The group soon arrived at Aunt Zhang's courtyard. Aunt Zhang's small courtyard was already crowded with people. Jiang Yuwei first settled Ning Huaizhi and Ning Wan's group, and then went into the house to find Xiaoyun who was watching the child:
"Xiao Yun, this is the cloth I brought for Xiao Man. You sew better than I do, so you can make clothes for him. There is also rabbit skin. I specially picked out two large ones for you. You can keep them to make winter clothes for the child, and they can be worn for several years. These eggs are brought by me. Even though you are out of confinement, you should take good care of yourself. Taking care of a child is not easy, so don't mistreat yourself."
Xiaoyun held Jiang Yuwei's hand and her eyes were red:
"Sister Yuwei, I'm so happy that you can come today. Why did you bring so many things? Tianhe said something so rude that day. I thought... I thought you would never visit us again."
Jiang Yuwei patted Xiaoyun's hand and said with a smile:
"Don't think too much. I didn't take what happened that day to heart at all. As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. We live next to each other, so it's only natural for us to help each other when something happens. Just relax."
As they were talking, they heard a commotion in the yard:
"Where's my daughter? My daughter! Xiaoyun! Mommy is here!"
Jiang Yuwei turned to look at Xiaoyun, only to see that she had heard the shouting outside the yard and suddenly became nervous. Her hands holding the child subconsciously tightened a little. Jiang Yuwei was just about to ask Xiaoyun what was wrong.
A short and fat old woman rushed in from outside the yard. She was wearing patched clothes and had a round bun on her head. Her hair was half white, but she had a bright red peony flower stuck in her ear, which was inappropriate.
Jiang Yuwei couldn't help but frown as she looked at the woman in front of her. This outfit was really shocking. The woman went straight to Xiaoyun as soon as she entered the room.
"My girl, you are so capable that you gave birth to a boy so quickly. Why didn't you tell me first so that I could come and take care of you during the confinement period?"
Xiaoyun looked at her mother warily and said hesitantly:
"No, no need. My mother-in-law takes good care of me. You don't need to trouble me."
At this time, Aunt Zhang also followed into the house with a nervous look on her face. When she saw Xiao Yunniang, she stepped forward, grabbed her arm and said with a smile:
"Mrs. Xu, look at how anxious you are. You'll have time to look after the child later. Let's go sit outside first. We'll be having the meal soon."
When Mrs. Xu saw Aunt Zhang, her face suddenly turned cold. She shook off her hand and said coldly:
"Humph, my daughter gave birth to a big fat boy and you kept it a secret from me. If it wasn't for Ning Yunyun, the daughter-in-law of the Xu family, telling me today that her mother was coming to our house to attend the child's centenary banquet, I wouldn't have known about it!"
Jiang Yuwei frowned, wondering why Ning Yunyun was involved in everything. Thinking of this, she looked outside the yard and saw Chen Guixiang pulling Sun to sit next to Ning Huaizhi. She didn't know what she was whispering to Ning Huaizhi.
