I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Aunt Song and several other women also came to help, some were kneading the dough, some were lighting the fire, some were cooking the meat, some were arranging the fruit plates, and some were mixing the cold dishes. They were very busy.

An hour later, several large, white and plump steamed buns came out of the pot.

There is a custom in Jijiawan that when a child is one month old, one hundred big steamed buns should be steamed, peanuts and red dates should be put in the buns, and red rouge should be applied on the top of the buns.

It indicates that the child will be rich and prosperous throughout his life.

There has been a famine in Jijiawan in recent years, and no family has white flour.

When people have a baby, they only put out some red dates and peanuts and no longer make steamed buns.

Second wife Ji carefully put rouge on the steamed buns, her eyes full of tears. She hadn't steamed buns for several years.

During the prosperous years, every family that had a baby would ask her to help steam the buns.

"Second sister-in-law, these steamed buns are so delicious. It would be great if our young wife in Jijiawan could also steam steamed buns after she gave birth to a baby!"

Grandma Ji wiped away her tears.

Aunt Song carefully put the red-skinned eggs into the pot one by one and cooked a large pot.

"Our lives will definitely get better. Xiaobei is the lucky star of Jijiawan. Guoguo and Zhengzheng are the little lucky stars. When our boy gets married and has a baby, we will also make white steamed buns..."

All items for the full moon are prepared according to the customs of Jijiawan.

Liang Yuyao was stunned. Under the eaves there was a row of big white steamed buns and a large basin of red-skinned eggs.

There is a steaming big pork elbow in the large porcelain basin.

Aunt Song and the others were frying meatballs in preparation for the pig-killing dish.

There was a long table in the yard, on which were prepared chicken, duck, fish, meat, eight cold dishes and eight hot dishes.

The plates are large and the portions are generous.

The customs and habits of Jijiawan are so heroic, just like the style of these women.

Liang Yuyao couldn't help but smile.

There was a constant stream of visitors to the two workshops, with constant blessings.

Some carried cakes, some took two kilograms of millet, and some embroidered purses for children...

No matter what they brought, it was a token of their heartfelt gratitude, and Ji Xiaobei accepted it with a smile.

Those who came were all workshop workers, all poor people, and we didn't intend for them to bring anything.

Mrs. Lin was greeting people warmly outside.

Let everyone eat and drink well!

In the room, Old Mrs. Fu put on new clothes, her hair was combed shiny, and she also wore a hairpin with a ruyi pattern. A lucky pearl was inlaid on her dark green headband.

The old lady was very dignified and looked at the two chubby little ones on the bed with a smile.

Huang Po and Ji Xiaobei changed clothes for the siblings.

Haixia Niang specially made full-month clothes for them, embroidered with two lively patterns.

After the meal, the women came into the house to see the baby.

The two little babies were full and sleeping soundly without being disturbed at all.

Everyone who came said that Zhengzheng and Guoguo were good-looking, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, like Ji Xiaobei, and they would definitely have a bright future when they grew up.

The nosy old woman looked around, looking for Ji Xiaobei's man.

Someone quietly pulled the woman aside and whispered, "Our boss is a powerful man, and his husband must be no bad either. He must have official business to attend to and can't get away. Okay, let's go..."

After people had eaten and drunk their fill, they were ready to leave with happy faces. Grandma Huang handed them the white steamed buns she had wrapped in advance, two big buns to each family as a return gift.

There were laughter and joy in the yard over here, while in the Magnolia Courtyard in front, Mrs. Gui angrily smashed the vase in the house to pieces.

"Ji Xiaobei gave birth to a child. I wanted to go over and give her a gift, but the old lady wouldn't let me. Humph! She was so happy that she was wearing the clothes she wore this morning. She rarely wears them unless there's something important going on."

"Madam, everything has been arranged with the old butler in the capital. If you ask about it in the future, he will definitely not betray you." Lan Dian said.

It turned out that Mrs. Gui pushed the matter of taking back the yard onto the old housekeeper.

She said that it was the old housekeeper who asked her to have the dental clinic take back the courtyard.

Afterwards, she sent someone to give the old butler some silver, to bribe him and make him agree to everything.

Because of this, the old lady put her under house arrest for a month.

"Madam, you can go out today. Will you reply to Madam Lei's message or go to her house for tea?"

Lan Dian asked while holding the post.

"Go, you have to go. The old lady has been here for a month and she is so depressed! I said that the old lady disappeared on purpose. How is it? She came back safely, huh!"

Mrs. Gui sneered.

"You are the legitimate wife of the Fu family. The young master and the old lady dare not do anything to you. Otherwise, where will Fu Tongpan put his face? Madam, I saw the two servants guarding the door disappeared just now. I think they went to Ji Xiaobei's place to eat and drink. If you are bored, you can go out for a walk!"

"Let's go to the nearby silver shop and buy some jewelry..."

The master and servant quietly slipped out of Magnolia Courtyard.

Most of the bustling crowd had left, and Ji Xiaobei's yard became quiet.

Aunt Song and her friends were tired after a long day and just had time to sit down and eat a meal.

At this time, two horses entered Mingyi Lane.

Fu Jichang got off the horse, exhausted, handed the horse to Heita, patted the dirt off his body, and straightened his clothes.

He just came back from Tuzhou Prefecture.

He rode at full speed for a day and a night before finally returning to Anzhou. He didn't even have time to change his clothes before he arrived at Mingyi Lane.

Heita looked at his master's clothes and was about to remind him that he was still wearing his official uniform.

The master has already strode into the yard.

Before Fu Jichang stepped into the door, he seemed to feel something was wrong. He took off his official hat and gave it to Heita before entering the yard.

"Little brother... no, Brother Fu..." Shitou shouted in surprise.

Fu Jichang gave him a bright smile, threw the knife from his waist to him, and said with a smile: "This is a gift I brought for you. Do you like it?"

"Ah...Oh my God, this knife..." Shi Tou was extremely surprised.

"This is yours," he pulled a book out of his pocket and threw it to Haixia…

Haixia said with a sad face: Ah... Why are you bringing up such a big issue? On such a happy day, you have to bring up my sad story. I don't want a book...

"Oh my God, Xiaoyao, you are finally back. Today is the full moon for Guoguo and Zhengzheng..."

Mrs. Lin was so happy that she almost cried.

"Hmm!" Fu Jichang just hummed lightly.

"Well, Xiaobei isn't asleep yet. Come in. Have you eaten yet? I'll prepare dinner for you..."

As Mrs. Lin spoke, she called Aunt Song to add two more dishes for Fu Jichang.

Second Aunt Ji, Third Aunt Ji, and Aunt Song all came over and looked at Xiaoyao, who seemed both familiar and unfamiliar, and didn't know what to say.

The person is still the same person, but the clothes he wears make people feel a little afraid to approach him.

Those are the clothes worn by officials.

They were born afraid of officials and did not dare to approach him. They greeted Fu Jichang cautiously.

"Aunt Song, Grandma Ji, I just returned to Anzhou. I'm sorry to bother you all. Thank you for your hard work..." Fu Jichang bowed.

He had already noticed something strange on several women's faces and was afraid of scaring them.

"No, Xiaoya, don't bother me. It's not hard. We are the ones who disturbed you. We, we will clean up..."

After Aunt Song finished speaking, she pushed Grandma Ji away.
