Famine Bride: Marry into the best in-laws and win

Chapter 370 1 Basket of Eggs

……

On the second day of Xu Manyue's confinement at home, Aunt Xu and Uncle Xu came to visit her again with a basket of eggs.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw an old lady holding a child and coaxing him.

"Hey, Auntie, Uncle, you're here, why are you still carrying so many things?"

Aunt Xu smiled and held up the basket of eggs in front of the old lady. "It's not much, just a few eggs that we saved up. Now that she's one month old, these eggs are just right for nourishing her."

The old lady looked up, was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and waved her hand to refuse.

"This... Second Aunt, this is too many, at least twenty or thirty."

"No, you should take them back. I heard that you are already looking for a partner for your eldest brother. You should save these eggs and use them as a betrothal gift for his wife."

The bride price nowadays is not like asking for money in the past. In years of famine, nothing is more important than food.

Second Aunt Xu smiled and said, "It's not much. We still have some at home. As for the eldest son's betrothal gift, we have already prepared it. These eggs are not a big deal."

"The most important thing now is to nourish Man Yue. She just gave birth and needs to eat something good to replenish her body."

Uncle Xu nodded and said, "Yes, we don't lack these things at home. Aunt-in-law, we want to go and see the full moon."

Now there is a new chicken in the house, and that chicken loves to lay eggs. It can basically lay two eggs every day.

There are dozens of eggs in a month. These eggs are saved, waiting to be used to nourish the baby's body after one month, and to help the eldest and second sons get married.

A few years ago, there was a severe famine and I almost starved to death, but I didn't consider the important matter of marrying off my two sons. I kept putting it off until I almost became an old man.

The old lady nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go see if Man Yue is awake first."

inside the house.

Xu Manyue vaguely heard the voices of her second uncle and second aunt. She gradually woke up, sat up in bed and looked out the window.

Unfortunately, the window was sealed and I couldn’t see anything.

At this time, the door opened.

The old lady carried the child into the house and saw that Xu Manyue had woken up. She smiled and said, "Third wife, your second uncle and second aunt brought a basket of eggs to see you."

"The person is outside now. I'll go get him."

After saying that, she went out again with the child in her arms.

Not a moment later.

Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu came into the house.

As soon as she came in, Aunt Xu's eyes instantly turned red. She strode to Xu Manyue's side, touched her face which was obviously weaker than before, and felt more uncomfortable.

"...Manyue, you've lost weight."

Uncle Xu also felt that his niece had lost a lot of weight. Not only was she thin, but her face was also pale. The little flesh she had gained with great difficulty after marrying into the Shen family was lost after giving birth.

It makes people feel so sad.

“I’ve lost a lot of weight.

Xu Manyue: “…”

Although she looked a little pale, she hadn't lost much weight.

Xu Manyue smiled helplessly, "Second uncle, second aunt, you're mistaken. I don't look thin at all. I've been eating in bed these past few days and haven't done anything. I'll probably gain a lot of weight after the confinement period."

Second Aunt Xu held Xu Manyue's hand, looked at her pale face, and sighed, "You only know how to comfort me and your second uncle. How can we not see whether you have lost weight or not?"

"This time we came here, we also brought you a basket of eggs. We will send them back to you after you finish eating. You must make good use of them."

"Giving birth is no small matter, especially during the confinement period, nutrition must not be lacking. Otherwise, not only will the adults suffer, but the child will also be uncomfortable."

"By the way, where is the child? Your uncle and I haven't seen what the child looks like yet." Aunt Xu looked around, searching for the child.

Uncle Xu also looked around.

This child is Man Yue and Jing Ming's first child, and I heard it's a boy. Now they don't have to worry about their relationship being unstable. Even if there is no love between them, they still have a child.

There are not so many couples in the world who have a good relationship. Most of them are tied together for their children.

The young couple had not been together for a long time, so naturally they did not have much affection for each other. Now they have been separated from each other. Having a child would give them an extra support when the child is one month old.

The old lady at the side quickly took the child in her arms and said, "The child is here with me. I thought my second aunt and uncle saw it just now."

Unexpectedly, the two of them never saw the child in her arms since they entered the door.

Second Aunt Xu smiled a little embarrassedly, "We were just focused on looking at the full moon, and we thought the child was with her."

She reached out to hold the child, "Come, let me see what the child looks like."

The old lady carefully placed the child in her arms, "He looks like his father, but his eyebrows and eyes are like his mother. He will definitely be a handsome boy when he grows up."

Uncle Xu also came over to look, and couldn't help but smile.

"He really does look like his father. This kid is really a leader. He specifically picks out the best qualities of his parents."

"By the way, Manyue, have you written to Jingming about the baby?"

Xu Manyue shook her head, "Not yet, I'll write it later."

She actually wanted to wait until she was out of confinement, take a photo with her child and send it over along with the letter, but it would still be a long time before she was out of confinement, so she decided to talk about it later.

But the letter should have been written earlier.

The birth of a child is such a big event, it’s better to inform the child’s father.

Upon hearing this, the old lady quickly said, "Third Brother's Wife, you must hurry up and write this letter. Third Brother might be waiting for news of you and the child at the military academy. Write and send the letter as soon as possible to let him know about this, so that he can feel at ease sooner."

Xu Manyue nodded and said, "Mom, I'll write it later."

After looking at the two of them, Aunt Xu and Uncle Xu sat for a while and then suggested leaving.

"Your second uncle and I will go back first. We will come to see you and the child next time."

"These past few days I've been looking for partners for your Weibing and Weimin brothers. They're not young anymore. In the past few years, they were delayed by famine and family conditions, which prevented them from getting married. Now that family conditions are better, it's time for them to settle down."

Xu Manyue thought about it and it made sense. "It's time to settle down Wei Bing and Wei Min. By the way, Second Aunt, have you found the right person?"

Her two cousins are strong, have good character, but they don't have jobs and rely on working to make a living.

But even so, with three men in the family, they can earn more work points in the future and get more food than other families.

There are still many girls who want to marry into a family with more working ability.

Second Aunt Xu sighed, "Marriage is such a big deal, we as parents can't have the final say. Your two brothers have to be satisfied with it."
