Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Before Jiang Yue and Xue Yan could get close, they heard Li Hehua and Shao Youyue laughing and talking about something. “When it’s done, you can put it on Xue Shi tomorrow.”
It was not that complicated for farmers to raise children, especially poor families. They would not spend this money to make such good things for their children. They felt that their children would grow up in the blink of an eye, so they just needed to get a pair of simple shoes to wear. It was Zi Cui and the others who said that Xue Shi could wear tiger-headed shoes, which were especially cute. In addition, Li Hehua often sat here, so they taught Li Hehua so that she could make a pair for her child when she was free. It was also to kill time.
Li Hehua was very skillful and could learn it easily. She had been busy for the past few days. She was not making it for the child in her stomach, but to make a pair for Xue Shi so that he could wear it when he was one month old.
It was almost done, and only the one in her hand was left.
“I haven’t seen that child yet,” Shao Youyue said with a smile.
“You’re not in good health yet. Hongyan will only be out of confinement tomorrow. I’ll get Hongyan to bring you over tomorrow. Hongyan has been wanting to visit you for a long time, but Mother won’t let her out. Mother also said that I’ll be like this in the future. She said that it’s best if I don’t leave the room for a month.” Li Hehua laughed.
“Xue Yan, Jiang Yue.” When Zi Cui saw Jiang Yue and Xue Yan, she hurried over and took the sweet potatoes from Xue Yan’s hands.
The sweet potatoes had already been stored in baskets.
“Oh? Jiang Yue and Xue Yan are here?” Shao Youyue immediately perked up when she heard this, and she happily asked in a loud voice.
“Yes, it’s us.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan agreed, but they were not in a hurry to go in. Instead, they asked Zi Cui to put the sweet potatoes on the side of the stove to roast before they went in.
When Li Hehua saw Jiang Yue and Xue Yan, she quickly put down her needlework and called out, “Hurry up and come up.”
Just like before, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan also got on the brick bed.
The weather wasn’t cold yet, so it was fine not to heat the brick bed. When the weather turned cold, they could also burn charcoal to keep warm. Sitting on the brick bed was convenient and it gave them more space to sit.
However, because of the brick bed, this house looked even smaller.
Miao Han quickly brought two plates of snacks over. Actually, there were already two plates of snacks on the small table. With this, there were four plates on the small table.
Xue Liu and Xia Han boiled some tea and brought it over.
There were also walnuts that had already been peeled.
Jiang Yue ate a walnut first before taking a piece of osmanthus cake. After eating the osmanthus cake, she held the hot tea with her two small hands and took a sip.
This tea was very clear and had a faint fragrance. It was quite delicious.
Xue Yan was also drinking tea.
When the red sweet potatoes were done roasting, Zi Cui put them on a plate and served them.
Tomorrow, Xue Shi will officially be one month old. Yu Hongyan will finally get out of confinement and can finally leave her room without being stopped. The following day, she naturally wore her best clothes and was in high spirits.
She also gave Xue Shi a set of good clothes.
Xue Shi was red all over and was wrapped in a bright red swaddling cloth. Only his small face was exposed. He blinked his eyes. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both looked at him and felt that this little child was quite cute when he did not cry.
The tiger-head shoes that Li Hehua had made for him were a little too big. Xue Shi was too small to wear them. It just so happened that Xue Shi still needed to be swaddled. It did not matter if he wore shoes or not, so they did not let Xue Shi wear them. Instead, she placed them together with the one-month-old gifts that the rest of the family had prepared for Xue Shi. It wouldn’t be too late to wear it when Xue Shi grew up..
