The Group’s Favorite Cute Baby is One and a Half Years Old

Chapter 24, Taking complementary foods for the first time

Mrs. Wu sighed, "I know, I'll go get her a bowl of goat's milk soup soon."

 Goat milk soup is something she ate when she was a child.

At that time, Wu Laosi was more than one year old, and the family made him something soft, which was goat's milk soup.

Mrs. Wu still remembered how to make goat's milk soup, and went to make it for her children after dinner.

 She handed Sister Ying over to Liang Jin, and she and Xiaohong went to the backyard to milk the goat.

 After making a small bowl of goat's milk, she cooked it on the small stove.

 While cooking over low heat, beat two eggs. After the goat milk is hot, add the beaten eggs.

 Because the children are still young, I don’t add any sugar and wait until the eggs are cooked before taking them out of the pan.

Sister Ying could smell the sweet goat's milk soup in the room.

 After a while, Mrs. Wu cooled down the sweet goat's milk soup and brought it in.

 “Da da da~”

As soon as Sister Ying looked at the small bowl, she really beamed. Her little expression seemed to say, "Mom, you understand me."

Seeing her big eyes and crooked smile, Mrs. Wu knew that this little girl was greedy.

Liang Jin also laughed, "You said I doted on her, so you're not bad either."

 I promised not to let her eat other things, but in the end I didn’t do it carefully myself.

Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "No, just make some goat's milk soup without adding any sugar. It will satisfy her appetite."

Liang Jin sat the child in his arms, while Mrs. Wu scraped a little goat's milk soup, like a fly's legs, and fed a small amount into Sister Ying's mouth.

Sister Ying opened her small mouth, took a sip, and tasted it gently.

Hmm, the goat's milk soup is very soft and melts in your mouth.

 It just tastes weird.

 Maybe it’s because she hasn’t eaten for a long time and it’s her first time eating food, so she’s not used to it.

Wu was also observing her expression, and found it interesting to see her eyes widen in curiosity.

 “Is it delicious? Girl?”

Sister Ying smashed it with her little mouth, but the taste didn't come out very well, so she made a few squeaks and wanted to continue to taste it.

Mrs. Wu scraped some tender eggs for her and fed them to her mouth.

Sister Ying instinctively took a sip and tasted it a second time.

Liang Jin and Mrs. Wu both looked at her seriously, waiting for her reaction.

Sister Ying felt that there must be no sugar in this goat's milk soup, otherwise it would smell fragrant but not taste sweet at all.

  But it’s not that unpleasant, it just has the aroma of goat’s milk.

  She was afraid that if she didn’t like eating, her mother would stop getting complementary food for her, so she just ate a few more bites.

Mrs. Wu saw that she didn't reject it and knew how to swallow it, so she fed five or six mouthfuls and stopped feeding the rest.

 “Okay, let’s eat this today.”

 This was her first time eating, and she had been drinking Nai before. Mrs. Wu was afraid that she would have a stomachache, so she didn't dare to feed her.

Sister Ying didn’t make any fuss. After eating, she sat on the bed and played with toys.

 Many of the toys at home were sent by the Wu family. They were all toys that my natal nephew played with when he was a child. Sister Liang also sent some.

 The toys for little dolls are nothing more than tiger-headed dolls, rattles, small hand bells and the like.

Before Sister Ying was not sleepy and had no other entertainment items, she would catch the tiger-headed doll or pat other things.

Liang Jin came over to play with her for a while and threw the toys in front of her. Sister Ying giggled in response.

Liang Jin also laughed when he heard the sound, and stayed with her for a while.

After Mrs. Wu finished her work, she came over to see the father and daughter.

 Ask Liang Jin, "Master, go and wash up, the clothes are all ready."

Liang Jin hummed and raised his eyebrows, "Together?"

Mrs. Wu gave him a shy look, "What are you talking about? I'm not ashamed."

Liang Jin came over to hold her little hand and put it in her ear, "Put Sister Ying to sleep and come to me later. I'll wait for you."

 After saying that, he left with a smile. Mrs. Wu was ashamed, but she hugged Sister Ying and started to coax her to sleep.

Sister Ying didn't hear their conversation, but she was also surprised, why did mother want me to go to bed so early today?

 In the past, Mrs. Wu would play with her for a while and tell her to go to bed later so that she could sleep all night.

 What's going on today?

But Mrs. Wu's face was red, so she couldn't tell her this. She kept holding her and singing lullabies, and after a while she really coaxed her daughter to sleep.

 She put the child on the bed and went out with a sullen face.

 Wait until you wake up the next day.

 Liang Jin went to the academy again.

The college entrance examination will be held this year, so he must seize the time to read more books.

 After returning to the academy, the Wu family returned to its former peace.

 When it’s time to take the exam, every candidate is very nervous and anxious.

Liang Jin went to take the exam with Wu Laosi.

If they can pass the exam this time, they will be scholars.

Even if you are not in the top three, you will be satisfied with a middling score.

Liang Jin and Wu Laosi went to take the exam with great expectations, and their family members were also worried.

Mrs. Liang has been burning incense and worshiping Buddha in the past few days. She called Aunt Xu and went to Ning Ning Temple.

 There is a temple on a high mountain here. It is very popular, but the temple is too high, with three hundred steps.

However, there are still a lot of sincere people nowadays. In addition, the people work every day and have good physical strength. They can persevere even if they climb the hillside.

Old Mrs. Liang doesn't think she is pampered at home now, but she worked hard when she was young.

 After all, she has three children to raise, her son needs to go to school, and her daughter needs a dowry, so she has no choice but to work hard.

So now, she didn't even sit on the bamboo sedan, but climbed to the temple in one breath, sincerely seeking a good omen for her son, her brother-in-law, and her eldest son-in-law.



 After burning incense and going back, they could do nothing but wait for news at home.

 After the exam, they began to wait for the letter.

Everyone in the town who went to the hospital for the exam was the same. They all craned their necks to wait for the results to be released.

Mrs. Liang couldn’t help but sit in the yard and wait.

She wanted to save face and didn’t want to go out and wait. She was afraid that she would have to be comforted later if she failed, so she didn’t go out and waited in the yard.

Mrs. Wu was also playing in the yard with her child in her arms.

She took a big blanket and spread it on the clean blue bricks. She put Sister Ying on the blanket and played with her for a while.

Old Mrs. Liang glanced at her, feeling nervous, and couldn't help but say to her, "What time has it been, do you still have fun?"

Mrs. Wu was also nervous, but she didn't want to quarrel with her at this stall. She just said, "Play with Sister Ying for a while, otherwise she won't be able to sleep later."

 Children are very energetic, and when they are tired from playing with them, they will naturally fall asleep easily.

Old Mrs. Liang snorted angrily and said that if she couldn't make a quarrel, she would just let it go.

 After waiting for a while, someone knocked on the door and said that he had failed the exam.

The woman next door sighed and comforted herself, "Forget it, it's not that easy to pass the exam. There are so many scholars who only passed the exam in their thirties. I'm not in a hurry. I'll try again next year."

Mrs. Liang suddenly became nervous when she heard this.

The boys next door have all come back to report the news. I believe news about Jin'er will be back soon.

 “Madam, I’m back.”

Sure enough, Tongxi, the boy beside Liang Jin, also came back.

Xiaohong hurriedly ran to open the door. After Tongxi came in, she sighed, "Madam, I didn't pass the exam."

Mrs. Liang sighed, "What a pity..."

But forget it, the next-door neighbor didn’t pass the exam either, so there’s no shame for each other.
