It was already April when all the work of raising seedlings and transplanting rice was completed. Now there were many bamboo shoots growing in the bamboo forest. Yan Sanmei changed her livelihood and took Lin Ge'er to the county town to sell bamboo shoots.

Bamboo shoots cannot be sold at a high price, so naturally the profit is not as much as that from wild vegetables. Besides, Brother Lin is not like Yan Sanmei. Even if she is not around, there are people to take care of the house and the fields.

After running around for a few days, he said he needed to weed the fields. If Yan Sanmei went by herself, Zhao Guizhi naturally would not agree.

The third sister was feeling depressed when she saw Lu Zhicheng coming with a happy face to give her red eggs, saying that Cheng Xue had given birth to a daughter.

Women have always been good at giving birth, so whether the first child is a boy or a girl is not necessarily that important. Moreover, among Lu Zhubu's children, there are sons and boys, but no girls.

The midwife was quite nervous when she came out holding the baby. After all, most families hope to have a boy at home. She thought that she might not get much reward money this time. However, Lu Zhubu was so happy that he asked Lu Zhicheng to give her more reward money.

Lu Zhicheng smiled a little foolishly when he said this. On the one hand, he really liked his daughter, and on the other hand, he knew that his father did this just to honor Cheng Xue.

Cheng Xue and the Yan family are sworn relatives, or even more so, the Yan family is Cheng Xue's relatives now. His father's praise for Cheng Xue is equivalent to praising the Yan family. Although he said it as a joke, it also expressed the Lu family's attitude.

Zhao Guizhi had already calculated the date, thinking it should be these few days, so she prepared a lot of postpartum gifts from her parents' home in advance.

It is impossible to catch hens nowadays, but Zhao Guizhi smoked cured pig's trotters, cured pig's liver, and cured pork ribs last year. She also has six laying hens at home, so it should be enough if she saves some and takes them away.

But Chu Xiao didn't let it save it. It was the busy spring season a while ago and the whole family was working hard, so eggs and meat could not be less.

Besides, Cheng Xue was his sister, so he should help prepare whatever she needed. There were still a lot of eggs in the space, red dates and wolfberries of particularly good quality, brown sugar bought in the city, and a lot of crystal fruits.

All kinds of things were packed into a backpack, and Lu Zhicheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was in a hurry to come and inform the Yan family of the good news, so he came on horseback.

Besides, he couldn't go back directly now. He had to go to Beishan Mansion first to give some red eggs to his brothers, and then he had to run to Liujiawan.

Although Cheng Xue has severed her ties with the Lu family, there were still many people in Liujiawan who took care of her before, and some of them are still in contact with her.

Then there is Old Man Lu. Although he fell ill two years ago and everyone was prepared for his death, he actually felt better after Lu Xue got married.

Although he still looked sick, he was able to eat and sleep well. Many people in the village said that this was a cure for the bad luck.

Lu Zhicheng didn't think it was that mysterious, but he didn't refute it when someone said so. If the wedding could improve the old man's health, it meant that he and Cheng Xue were a match made in heaven.

Lu Zhicheng wanted to go somewhere else, so Yan Zhenshen said he would take him there. Although the bride's family shouldn't go there before the third day of the baby's birth, Lu Zhicheng didn't care about the red tape. After all, Xiaobei, the bride's family member, had lived there for two years.

When Yan Sanmei heard her elder brother going to deliver something, she also shouted that she wanted to go and see her niece.

Lu Zhicheng naturally agreed, and told her to visit more often when she was free. He had no mother-in-law or sisters-in-law at home. Before, when Cheng Xue was bored, she could ask the maid to help her go out for a walk. Now she couldn't even leave the house, so she must be hoping that someone could accompany her and talk more.

Zhao Guizhi thought about it and realized that this made sense, so she told Yan Sanmei not to worry about selling vegetables for the time being, but to spend more time with Lu Xue.

After hearing this, Yan Sanmei was really kept by Lu Chengxue this time and did not come back until more than a month later.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and Xiao Yuer could already utter a few words from time to time, but the words he said most often were "baby" and "eat".

As for Yan Zhenshen and Yan Zhengdao, they spared no effort to teach him to say daddy and grandpa, but the little guy always had a confused expression.

I can't understand and I can't speak.

When the wolf cub ran into the yard and Xiao Yuer stretched out his fat little hands, calling "cub" cheerfully, both Yan Zhengdao and Yan Zhenshen, father and son, felt inexplicably dejected. They, the two grandfathers and father, were actually no match for a wolf.

Chu Xiao, on the other hand, didn't care at all. What's more, he didn't want Xiao Yuer to learn to call him dad first. After all, the old people said that whoever the child calls first will have to suffer for the child.

From this perspective, it's a good idea to call the wolf cub, let it be naughty, and don't go up the mountain to hunt in the future. It's better to stay at home and take care of the children.

More than a month later, Yan Sanmei and Lu Chengxue came to Anning Village with their baby, who was just one month old.

Chu Xiao had just paid copper coins to Grandpa Sun's grandson and another child for two baskets of fresh grass when he saw a horse carriage slowly approaching.

The driver was driving the carriage really slowly; anyone walking faster could have overtaken him.

Look, Yan Zhennan was making furniture for his and Qiao Qingyun's new home. When he saw the carriage coming, he went into the house, washed his hands, went out and closed the door. He was delayed for a while but arrived at about the same time as the carriage.

Yan Sanmei had been gone for more than a month, and she was so happy to be home that she jumped out of the car before it even stopped: "Brother Xiao, I'm back."

Yan Sanmei actually wanted to rush over, but before she could reach Chu Xiao, she felt someone grabbing her neck. Yan Zhennan walked faster, and his nose was sweating. "You heartless little girl, you didn't even wait for me when you saw your second brother behind you."

The carriage had clearly stopped just now, and Yan Zhenshen had just said self-righteously that there was no need to wait for him, when he heard Yan Sanmei tell the coachman that it was not far and her second brother didn't need to take the carriage.

Lu Chengxue lifted the car curtain and called out "Second Brother", but Yan Sanmei still shouted, "Hurry up and go, mother is still waiting to see her granddaughter."

The coachman looked back at Yan Zhennan awkwardly, but it was useless. Although Lu Chengxue was a sworn relative of the Yan family, they were not related by blood after all. It was not easy for a man like Yan Zhennan to squeeze into the carriage, so he could only wave to the coachman.

But is whether he rode in the carriage the point? The point is obviously that Yan Sanmei didn't take her second brother seriously at all.

Yan Sanmei was also angry when her collar was pulled from behind. Although her second brother was annoying most of the time, she wanted to have a chat with him after not seeing him for a while.

"Second brother, why are you pulling me? Sister Cheng Xue is still behind us."

Yan Zhennan tapped Yan Sanmei on the forehead again and said, "I'll take care of you later."

After saying this, he leaned to the side. It was difficult for him to help with the snow on the road, and it was also difficult for the child to go forward to catch the child. He could only watch from the side and help the coachman unload the carriage.

Chu Xiao already had experience holding a baby, so he ignored the brother and sister who loved to quarrel whenever they met, and walked over to take the child, cherishing him very much.

There was a new baby girl in the family, and everyone was scrambling to hold her, but Yan family's baby Xiaoyuer was neglected for a while.

"Kid, eat, bags, flowers." Xiao Yuer pinched the fur on the wolf cub's neck with his little hands and repeated all the words he knew how to say. Unfortunately, he couldn't call out to those who were attracted by the other little baby.

Only when the wolf cub cooperated with the little fish and it made a sound, it would let out a howl.
