Dressed Like a Cute Little Lucky Bag Chapter 8

Chapter 8 Grand Full Moon

  Today is the fifth day since Li Chunhua gave birth to her child, and Ma Xiu Lian has to go to work.

  She is strong and earns more work points in a day than Chen Laoer.

  Afraid that Li Chunhua would get hungry during the journey, she cooked two boiled eggs for her before leaving. "If you are hungry, just bear with it. I will steam some rice for you when I come back."

  Her eyes never left Helian Jiao's fair and tender face, and she said reluctantly, "My dear, grandma has to go to the fields to work. You have to drink milk at home, okay?"

  Helian Jiao said "ah" out of courtesy, she would.

  Hearing her soft and tender little voice, Ma Xiu Lian became even more reluctant to let her go.

  "But grandma has to earn more work points so that she can buy eggs for Guaibao in the future."

  Helian Jiao, who didn't know how precious eggs were in this era, blew a bubble carefreely, "Po~"

  Ma Xiu Lian smiled instantly and called out "Grandma's dear baby" over and over again. Her voice was as sweet as honey, which made Li Chunhua feel scared.

  Before leaving, he reminded Li Chunhua: "Just lie down and ask Sanni to do anything for you."

  Children in rural areas grow up early and become sensible. Four-year-old Sanni is already helping with some light chores at home, such as serving tea, pouring water and washing diapers.

  Ma Xiu Lian was a quick-witted person. After she finished speaking, she carried her hoe and went to the field.

  As soon as she arrived at the field, Old Lady Song, who had always been at odds with her, straightened her back and shouted, "Hey, Old Chen, I heard that your third daughter-in-law gave birth to another daughter for you."

  Old Mrs. Song’s daughter-in-law had just given her a big fat grandson a few days ago, and now she was deliberately bullying Ma Xiu Lian.

  Unexpectedly, Ma Xiulian said cheerfully with a cheerful face: "Yes, it's a little girl, she's very pretty."

  But no one believed that she was really happy. They all thought that she was so angry that she had lost her mind after having two worthless granddaughters.

  After all, who doesn’t want to have a big fat boy these days!

  Boys are strong and can earn much more work points in the fields than women, but girls start working for other families when they are in their teens and almost eat for free.  

  Alas, it's also pitiful.

  Even Old Lady Song curled her lips and stopped saying anything disrespectful.

  Ma Xiu Lian was too lazy to explain to them. She could just secretly be happy about such an unusual good thing as the reincarnation of a god.

  She wielded the hoe skillfully to turn the soil, thinking of finishing the work quickly and going back to cook rice for the third son's wife.

  But we can't let her little darling starve.

  *

  Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Helian Jiao is about to turn one month old.

  During this month, Ma Xiu Lian tried every means to get good things for Li Chunhua to nourish her body, but she didn't gain much weight.

  Because Helian Jiao eats so much, all the fat has grown on her body.

  Helian Jiao is now fair, tender, soft, pretty and chubby, and looks even more lovable than the lucky dolls in New Year pictures.

  A little girl can eat more than the three fat boys in Old Chen's family!

  Li Chunhua complained in her heart, but Ma Xiulian was very happy, "Being able to eat is a blessing, our good boy is very lucky!"

  Hearing this, the other people in Old Chen's family didn't even frown, including Zhou Zhaodi.

  I'm really tired of hearing my mother-in-law praise that little vixen in all kinds of ways in the past month. Even the fact that the rice in the fields is growing better than in previous years can be attributed to her.

  However, the growth of rice this year is indeed gratifying, and the heavy, golden rice ears make people feel at ease when looking at them.

  I hope you will have a good new year this year!

  On the day when Helian Jiao was one month old, Ma Xiu Lian specially cut a foot-long piece of bacon and fried it with bamboo shoots, and also beat five eggs and cooked a large pot of egg drop soup.

  It was the most sumptuous meal the Chen family had had in the past six months. Even the first-month celebration of Chen Dabao, the eldest grandson, was not so grand.
