"Mother." His mother and Aunt Chen walked in side by side. As soon as they entered the room, they greeted their grandmother happily.

"Mother." I quickly stood up to pay my respects to my mother. My mother was holding Aunt Chen's hand. Aunt Chen had no time to avoid it, so she had to kneel down and give me a level salute.

Her mother was dressed in a light gold, peach, red, and red plum gown, with only an agate hairpin to fix her hair. She was dressed in a very homely manner. On the side, Aunt Chen was different. The pink peony was embroidered with a white robe with a round collar and half an arm. She wore a purple poncho and a golden lock hung from the gold collar, reflecting the sunlight brightly. She had a bashful and happy smile on her face as she gently covered her belly with her hands.

"Come, sit down!" Grandmother nodded.

"Do I want to ask my mother for another stool?" The smile on my mother's face was unaffected by my grandmother's cold attitude.

"Oh? "What's wrong?" Grandmother casually turned the bracelet around as if she didn't know what was going on.

"This morning, Aunt Chen got pregnant." His mother was smiling from the corner of her eyes. Her hands were tightly holding Aunt Chen's hand. She looked so happy. Even if he was pregnant, wouldn't it be this bad? She only found out this morning that Aunt Chen was pregnant, but her grandmother already knew. His mother thought that he had taken charge of the family. It seemed that Ginger was still older and wiser. His grandmother didn't seem to notice, but she kept her eyes and ears open all the time.

"How long has it been?" Grandmother did not seem to care at all. She had already known everything, yet she still wanted to ask again. There was no sign of his grandmother's expectation of this child. Grandmother had put a lot of thought into it.

"Two months." When her mother saw her grandmother's attitude, the enthusiasm in her voice faded a little, and her tensed body relaxed.

"Then take good care of it." Grandmother instructed.

"Yes!" Aunt Chen curtsied with an expression of disappointment on her face. In the blink of an eye, she was relieved. Her expression was as respectful as ever. It seemed like Red Dew had grown up rapidly after entering her mother's yard. She no longer had the domineering attitude she had in her grandmother's yard, and her actions revealed the caution her aunt should have.

"Mother, it looks like spring is about to come. I want to plant a few flowers for you to see." Mother, it looks like spring is about to come. When the mother saw that the grandmother was not interested in the subject of children, she relaxed her heart and began to gossip. For today's breakfast, Aunt Chen did not stand on the side to serve, but rather sat on a stool and ate half a bowl of porridge. Before she left, her grandmother sent her mother to serve the aunt. At the end of the day, Grandmother was still very concerned about the child in her aunt's womb.

After sending my mother to the door, I asked about my illness. My mother stood in front of the Moon Cave Gate and said, "Your illness is better now. Go back and rest." Such a kind tone made me shiver. At the side, Mother Feng smiled at me from behind my mother.

When I returned to the house, Gong's second wife was already waiting for me with a girl. She was sitting on the edge of the kang with her eyes wide open and her small hands clenched. When she saw me come in, she happily stretched out her fat hands and feet. I quickly walked over and placed the girl on my lap. The girl turned around and said childishly, "Sister, eat!" He stretched out her small hand and saw a sticky ball inside. The pink color had a bit of black on it, so it was hard to see what it looked like.

When the girl saw that I didn't move, she got anxious and used all her strength to straighten her body and put her small hands in my mouth, "Sister …" Sister... Eat! "

When Gong Er's wife saw this, she hurried forward to hug the girl and apologized: "My boss went to the capital and brought back some of the capital's specialties. This is the capital's silk candy, we gave it to her and it disappeared in a moment, we thought it was for her to eat, but who would have known that it was hidden in her hands." Gong Er's wife said as she put the girl on the ground and went to the kang to get the blue cloth bundle she had brought.

The girl skipped back to my side, raised her face, and grabbed my leg to get on the brick bed. She then smeared the sugar on my skirt.

Gong Er's wife turned around and saw me holding the girl in one hand and her small hand in the other. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry as I dealt with her. Gong Er's wife quickly came over and hugged the little girl. The little girl still wasn't resigned to be taken away by her own mother. She stretched out her hands and babbled out her own words.

Gong Er's wife sat on the opposite side of the brick bed. The girl sat in her arms, staring at the two paper bags on the table. Gong's second wife pushed the paper bag towards me, "This is a pile of silk candy, I know that Miss has eaten everything before, but it's our wish, Miss taking it to reward people is also good." It was rare to see such a thing, neither servile nor overbearing, making people happy. I reached for the paper bag, opened it, and put a piece in my mouth. It tasted different.

"Lu Ping." Lu Ping came in with a cup of tea in her hand and poured us each a cup of tea.

"Take this bag and split it among you." I pointed to the packet I had opened. "Take the other one to my grandmother." His mother's courtyard was in the wrong right now, so it was too late to hide. He absolutely could not send anything over. He had originally planned to move back to his own courtyard by the end of the month, but now it seemed that this matter would be better left unsettled.

Lu Ping also ate a piece in front of Gong Er's wife and said it was delicious. She thanked Gong Er's wife and said with a smile: "Only Miss Xie is it!" "Why aren't you thanking me?" Lu Ping stuck out her tongue, stuffed a piece of candy into the girl's mouth and left.

When he went to eat in his grandmother's room at night, Aunt Chen was still standing behind his grandmother as usual, preparing food for her. At the dinner table, his father would occasionally glance at her, blushing at her, but his mother's eyes would go white. Seeing this, Grandmother continued to chat and laugh as usual before eating her meal. After the meal, the grandmother left the father to speak, the mother wanted to stay, but the grandmother used sending the aunt back as an excuse to go away. The mother gritted her teeth, took the aunt and the servant woman beside her away. I knew my grandmother wanted to talk to my father about the shop, so I followed her back to her room.

Not long later, Mother Du opened the curtain and entered the room. "Miss, are you asleep?" I was sitting on the kang with Lu Ping, embroidering a handkerchief.

"Mom." Lu Ping quickly got out of bed to greet her mother, and got off the brick bed while wearing her shoes.

Mother Du quickly waved her hands, "No need, no need, I'm just here to pass on a message for the old lady, Miss's thoughts have succeeded."

I smiled and nodded my head. I had expected this to happen. Lu Ping grabbed some money. "It's such a cold day. Mom is going to have a drink at a bar." Mama Du smiled and accepted it, thanking him profusely.

One night, there was boundless joy on Lu Ping's face. Whether it was walking or pouring tea, it was light and fast. I couldn't help but feel happy.

In the evening, after the lights had been blown, Lu Ping's voice came from the darkness, "Miss, do we not have to worry anymore when we have money?"

I chuckled lowly. How could I not worry about anything once I had money? There were thousands of troubles in this world, so how could money solve them? However, with money, many things would be much easier to deal with.

"With money, you can save yourself a lot of worries." I smiled and replied, "Just go to bed early. I still have to get up early tomorrow morning to say good morning to you."
