Chapter 40, Catch Zhou

Mrs. Liang was peeling peanuts in the yard when she heard the noise. She came over and asked, "What happened just now? Why are you crying?"

 The little thing usually doesn’t cry, but for her to howl so loudly, I think she fell.

  Wu Shi couldn't laugh or cry, "I fell off the bed, I guess it was because I was naughty."

Old Mrs. Liang clicked her tongue and started to act like a mother-in-law again, "She's still young. Keep an eye on her. If you can't see her, just hold her over to me."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu thought it was a good idea and said, "Okay, if I am not busy in the future, I will trouble my mother."

Since Mrs. Liang took the initiative to speak, Mrs. Wu would certainly agree.

 At first, my mother-in-law favored boys over girls and didn't like Sister Ying. Now it seems that her attitude towards Sister Ying is okay, and she seems to have fallen in love with her daughter.

It seems that her daughter is very charming and everyone likes her.

Mrs. Wu was secretly happy, thinking that she had given birth to a heartthrob baby, which was really great.

 She was in a very good mood and handed Sister Ying to Old Mrs. Liang for a hug, and went to the kitchen to get some rice cereal.

Sister Ying was leaning on Old Mrs. Liang like she was boneless, with a lazy expression on her face, as if she couldn't sleep.

Old Mrs. Liang saw her leaning in her arms like she was boneless, and said with laughter and laughter, "Why are you so lazy at such a young age? In the future, if people know that you are so lazy, they will not dare to marry you."

Sister Ying thought to herself that there are still more than ten years left, so what are you afraid of? If you don’t enjoy it now, it will be difficult to enjoy it in the future. It’s better to be lazy now.

Mrs. Liang didn't ask her to get up after that. There was a little kid on her left and right. It was impossible to ask her to be diligent. She didn't even have a few teeth.

Mrs. Wu brought some chicken soup to her and squatted down to feed her.

Sitting in her grandmother's arms, Sister Ying said "Ah~" and opened her little mouth to be fed by her mother. Life couldn't be more comfortable.

  It’s just like a small public event.

Mrs. Wu smiled when she saw her like this, "Look at you, you have so many people waiting for you just to have a meal. What if you marry a family without maids in the future?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Liang said disgustedly, "What are you talking about? We, the children of the Liang family, will naturally marry into a well-matched family. We will not marry into a family without a maid."

She thought her family's conditions were pretty good in the town. How could her direct granddaughter let her get married? No matter what, she had to marry a well-matched person.

Mrs. Wu hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, everything mom said is right. You will have to worry more about Sister Ying's marriage in the future."

Wu is also able to catch any flatterers or whatever.

Mrs. Liang was praised by her daughter-in-law. She lifted her chin up and felt very proud.

“You are still too young, and you still need to learn many things from me.”

At this time, not only Mrs. Wu but also Sister Ying laughed, thinking that grandma was really unworthy of praise.

 Give her some sunshine and her tail will go up to the sky. It’s very interesting.

 After feeding the child, Mrs. Wu went to prepare for the first-year banquet.

For this first-year anniversary banquet, we invited relatives from the Wu family and the Liang family to come over for a drink. It was a lively and lively event. After all, it is the first child, and it still needs a sense of ceremony.

Liang Jin also planned to wait until his daughter’s first birthday party was over before returning to the academy.

There is another chance to take the scholar exam this year, and he will work harder.

At the moment, both parents are busy, so Sister Ying leaves Mrs. Liang here.

Old Mrs. Liang was sitting in the house, peeling peanuts with Grandma Xu.

The whole family likes to drink peanut soup, so Wu’s mother gave them a bag of peanuts, which they could peel to make peanut soup.

The peanut soup is original and very sweet, and Sister Ying also likes to drink it.

Old Mrs. Liang and Grandma Xu peeled a basket before taking it to the kitchen to make peanut soup the next day.

As soon as Sister Ying heard that she was going to drink peanut soup tomorrow, she kept thinking about it.

 Early the next morning, she crawled to the kitchen. Seeing her like this, Mrs. Liang smiled and hugged her over, "Little greedy cat, I know you like to drink, and I have warmed it for you a long time ago. Come and drink."

 “Dadamumu~” Thank you grandma~

Old Mrs. Liang shook her head proudly, "No need for you to thank me, just be obedient." She put Sister Ying on her lap and scooped up peanut soup to feed her.

Sister Ying swayed her little carrot legs while eating, like a little uncle.

Mrs. Wu was busy in the courtyard. She prepared everything for her daughter's first-year banquet, and then started to prepare the food for the first-year banquet.

 After a few busy days, Sister Ying's first birthday party finally arrived.

 Wu’s family came over early in the morning.

 Some relatives of the Liang family also came over.

 At this moment, several families were sitting in the main room talking peacefully.

Sister Ying was picked up and changed into new clothes while she was still sleeping.

Today Mrs. Wu has dressed her in a bright red dress, and even her hat is red.

I also put on the small gold lock that I didn't often wear in the past, and also put on the silver bracelets. I dressed up like a lucky doll.

When the time was almost up, Mrs. Wu woke her daughter up, and when she was so sleepy that she was about to cry, she immediately stuffed small candies into her mouth.

  Normally Mrs. Wu wouldn't give her candy, but today she was afraid of her crying, so she bribed her specially.

Everyone was waiting in the main room. When they saw Ms. Wu coming out with her child in her arms, they all smiled at Sister Ying.

“Hey, long time no see, this kid is getting prettier.”

  The person who said this was Liang Jin’s aunt, and she usually had a good relationship with the Liang family.

 Other women also said, "Brother Jin's daughter-in-law is handsome, and it is normal for her children to be beautiful, so when choosing a daughter-in-law, it is better to choose a good-looking one. The children she will give birth to will also look happy."

 The other women all laughed when they heard this, "Didn't you say before that you are too beautiful to be eaten, and now you are saying this?"

The woman also laughed after hearing this, "Who doesn't like good-looking things? Just show off, haha."

Others also laughed, and the atmosphere in the hall was very good.

Wu Shi smiled and held Sister Ying onto the red cloth towel that was used to catch Zhou, and told her, "Go and catch what you like."

The red cloth towel was filled with more than a dozen things, including seals, scriptures, pens, abacus, silver, jewelry, account books, rouge, meat buns, toys, shovels, scissors, rulers, etc.

 The reason why we put the buns in is mainly for good luck. We hope that the children can eat them deliciously and grow taller safely.

Originally Mrs. Wu didn't want to put meat buns in the buns because she was afraid that her daughter would be laughed at if she grabbed the buns in front of her relatives.

But Mrs. Liang said, "It's normal for children to catch meat buns. Besides, other people will put a meat bun in the house just to see what kind of meat buns the children will catch. If you don't let them go, they will say you are scheming."

Mrs. Wu felt that her mother-in-law was right, so she put the meat buns on the table and hoped that her daughter would not grab the meat buns today.

Sister Ying sat on the red cloth, her big grape-like eyes glanced around the things in front of her, and crawled over, looking at this and that.

 She looked at the succinct scripture and didn't like it very much. Scissors and spoons are meant for work, not for love.

Rouge and gouache are okay, as are toys, but there are so many, which one should I choose?

She touched the silver, then the meat buns, and finally grabbed these two items and crawled back to hand them to Mrs. Wu.

Everyone laughed when they saw it, "Look at this kid. He has silver in one hand and meat buns in the other. What does that mean?"

The other women laughed and said, "Having money in one hand and buns in the other, doesn't that mean having enough food and clothing, and being rich all your life? Hahaha."

After hearing this, everyone laughed.

 In fact, whatever children catch has auspicious meaning. No matter what they catch, adults will say festive words to wish it good luck.

  Can you please give me a vote~(o^^o)
