farmer's wife

Chapter 97 Aunt Zhang Visits
When Aunt Zhang arrived, Xiao Lie had already left home to deal with the ordering of ingredients.

Shi Yang sent Xiao Jian to a private school.

Granny Shi came to open the door.

"Who are you looking for?" Granny Shi has never met Aunt Zhang, and only heard it from the master.

Aunt Zhang also looked at the person in front of her curiously: "I am Aunt Zhang from the same village as Xiao Lie, come and see Ah Yan."

"It's Aunt Zhang! Come in quickly, Madam has been waiting for you since she heard that you are coming."

According to her words, is it the Xiao family's servant?

Aunt Zhang felt a little uncomfortable seeing Granny Shi, who was older than her, greet her so politely.

"Call me Xiyun." Aunt Zhang introduced herself with a smile.

"Hey, Xiyun. My husband's family name is Shi, and they call me Granny Shi."

After chatting for a few words, the two became familiar with each other.

Aunt Zhang gave the things in her hand to Granny Shi.

"I brought some eggs and an old hen from home. Take them to make soup for Ah Yan."

"This..." Granny Shi hesitated, she couldn't be the master of the relationship between the master's family.

Aunt Zhang stuffed the things to Granny Shi: "You put it away, I'll go and see Ah Yan."

Fu Yan heard voices from outside the room, and raised her voice to ask, "Is Aunt Zhang here?"

"It's me!"

Aunt Zhang opened the door and walked in.

"Aunt Zhang, I'm inconvenient, so I can only sit on the bed and talk to you."

Fu Yan put down the notebook she was reading just now, smiled and held out her hand to Aunt Zhang.

When Xiao Lie was about to leave this morning, he urged her to lie down on the bed and rest.

"Don't move, I'll just come and accompany you."

Aunt Zhang came over and sat down on the small stool by the bed.

She took Fu Yan's hand and looked at her carefully, and said with pity: "You're thin! I brought you the old hen and eggs at home, eat more!"

There is a kind of thinness that makes your aunt think you are thinner!

Fu Yan couldn't laugh or cry: "Auntie, I'm fine. You can take that chicken home, there's nothing missing at home."

Farmers raise chickens to lay eggs, and they want to sell them to subsidize the family, how can Fu Yan accept them.

"You can buy everything in the city, but my aunt's chickens are all carefully fed to keep them healthy!"

"Listen to auntie! You can't be sloppy with your current body. When your sister-in-laws were pregnant, I also killed chickens and made soup for them."

While talking, Aunt Zhang looked scared: "You must have been frightened yesterday."

"Brother Alie is here, those bastards have also been beaten."

"Yes!" Aunt Zhang gritted her teeth in hatred, "Fortunately, you are fine."

Leaving aside the past, Fu Yan pulled Aunt Zhang to chat about yesterday's dinner.

"Aunt Zhang, did you see the Qi family girl last night? How is it?"

Aunt Zhang couldn't help talking about her future daughter-in-law.

"The little girl is knowledgeable and polite, and she speaks in a soft voice, which is really good. You didn't see each other yesterday. You two must have something to talk about. I don't have the nerve to speak loudly, just because I'm afraid of scaring her."

Fu Yan smiled and comforted her: "It's okay, I'll be at ease when I get used to it."

Aunt Zhang was never harsh to her daughter-in-law, she was a kind person.

Aunt Zhang looked at Fu Yan, who was still looking good, and said sincerely, "I just hope that Shisheng and the others can live a happy life like you in the future, and I will be content!"

"Most definitely."

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, the family, the village, cross-stitch work, and precautions for women during pregnancy...their conversation was so heated that they didn't notice the passage of time.

Granny Shi has already prepared lunch and came to call them.

Fu Yan is inconvenient, so she still eats while sitting on the bed.

Aunt Zhang was invited out to have dinner with the three members of the Shi family.

After hearing what happened to the Shi family, Aunt Zhang felt sorry for them.

Both parties were polite and enthusiastic, talking and laughing at the dinner table, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

After dinner, I talked with Fu Yan for a while, and Aunt Zhang got up to say goodbye: "You have a good rest, I will come to see you in two days, and I will catch you an old hen."

"Don't, don't!" Fu Yan hurriedly stopped.

Aunt Zhang has worked so hard to raise these few chickens for laying eggs. If it is true that they are sent here every now and then because she is pregnant, it is not enough for her to eat.

Favors are not so taken
Fu Yan naturally refused.

Being discouraged by Fu Yan in every possible way, Aunt Zhang finally changed her words: "Then I'll bring you some home-made eggs, and eat the home-made eggs to nourish your body. Don't refuse this again."

Fu Yan thanked her for her kindness and wanted to stay at home for dinner before leaving.

Aunt Zhang refused, and Granny Shi sent her out of the house again.

In the evening, Xiao Lie arrived home.

Fu Yan told him about Aunt Zhang's visit during the day.

She was always a little embarrassed about Aunt Zhang's enthusiasm.

Xiao Lie was sorting out the books he bought one by one, and at the same time enlightened her: "When you recover, I will send some hares and pheasants to the village chief's house when I go hunting in the mountains."

"That's fine."

Ever since Xiao Lie returned to the room after eating, he has been tidying up and wandering around the desk.

Fu Yan leaned her head sideways and looked at him: "Brother Alie? What are you doing?"

Xiao Lie sat at the desk and flipped through a book of "The Analects of Confucius".

"I'll take a look first. It's time to name the child."

"Pfft..." Fu Yan rolled her eyes and complained about him with a smile: "It's only been two months, it's still too early!"

Fu Yan had already forgotten about the matter of reading a book and naming it that she mentioned before going to bed last night.

Xiao Lie was serious: "It's getting late, I have to search slowly, choose words slowly, slowly..."

The more Xiao Lie talked, the more urgent he felt.

"Go to sleep first, I'll watch later."

Xiao Lie came over and supported Fu Yan to lie down, and then returned to the desk.

Is this going to burn the midnight oil and study hard for eight months?
Fu Yan had no choice but to let him study hard with a smile.

I don't know if it's because of her pregnancy. Ever since she found out about the news, Fu Yan always fell asleep every time she lay down.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

As soon as she was able to get out of bed, Fu Yan immediately took a comfortable bath.

Fu Yan never expected that Xiao Lie could be so stubborn and follow the doctor's orders.

He said that he would stay in bed for three days to recuperate, so he forced her to lie in bed for three days.

After her body recovered, Fu Yan resumed preparations for tomorrow's pastries and the cakes ordered by the guests.

But this time Xiao Lie and Granny Shi took over most of her preparation work.

If she can verbally guide the operation, let her stand aside and only speak.

Fu Yan can appreciate their kindness and care, but this is not a long-term solution.

Now Fu Yan's body is light, and she can still handle the daily needs of the shop.

After that, she will have difficulty moving and cannot stand for a long time. Who should take over these tasks?
Granny Shi?
She is getting older and her memory is not as good as that of young people.Moreover, Fu Yan's pastry process is complicated.

As for Shiman.

The little girl is clever, but before she was young, she was very poor, and she was fine with a fight.If she was allowed to take over the kitchen completely, Fu Yan would not be at ease.

Do we have to hire another cook?

The characteristic of the shop is that it is fresh and unique, so the pastry recipe is the most important.If you mistakenly find the wrong person, you will regret it too late.

Fu Yan shared her worries with Xiao Lie.
