Reborn in the Seventies: Pampered Wife, Owning some Farmland

Chapter 122: Chapter 122: The Child’s First Full Month is a Big Event_1

Mother Yun thought all children would be fussy, but agreed with a nod.

But having slept soundly all night without a single cry from her grandson, she found this strange and asked her daughter-in-law, “Hanhan, why didn’t Little Huzi cry last night?”

Meng Yunhan found this both amusing and baffling, “Mother, Little Huzi doesn’t usually cry. He only wet two diapers last night.”

Mother Yun was surprised. Typically, young children fuss a lot, but her grandson is different. She did not hear a peep from him all night.

“Mother, I can take care of Little Huzi on my own tonight,” her son offered, not wanting his mother-in-law to be burdened.

“We’ll see about that.”

Mother Yun started her day by making food for her daughter-in-law and washing Little Huzi.

And so, life carried on.

However, Yun Hao, who was far away, remained unconscious. This worried Lu Jianjun greatly.

Could he be waiting for his sister-in-law to visit him with her child before he wakes up?

He asked the doctors, but they said Yun Hao’s condition was improving. They could not explain why he remained unconscious as they had not encountered such a case before.

All Lu Jianjun could do was to call Yun Hao every day and tell him about their situation, even though he only received silence in return. Yet, he still felt Yun Hao was with them in their struggles.

Another month passed by.

Meng Yunhan completed her confinement period. Mother Yun and Father Yun discussed hosting a Full Moon Wine celebration for the baby with her.

They need not host a big celebration, but they must invite relatives and friends, right?

But they would need food and beverages, wouldn’t they?

“Mother, why don’t we skip the invitation?” With just enough grain to last the year, inviting guests would strain their supply.

That was why Meng Yunhan suggested not having any guests.

Mother Yun rejected this without thinking, “No.”

Seeing her daughter-in-law persist, Mother Yun tried to persuade her, “The baby’s Full Moon is a big occasion, we have to celebrate. Otherwise, the gossips will say the Yun Family is too stingy to feed them and didn’t even host a Full Moon Wine.”

Meng Yunhan had to agree, but she worried about the feast’s standard, “Mother, where should we get the meat?”

They couldn’t just serve vegetables and bread, could they? No meat at all?

Mother Yun was also a little headache.

“We’ll see when the time comes,” She would see if they could get any meat. If not, they would have to slaughter their own chicken, which she was reluctant to do. Now that they have a grandson, keeping eggs for their grandson was a priority.

Meng Yunhan had made up her mind. She would go out the next day and let her mother-in-law look after the child while she was away.

“Mother, I just remembered our contact in the town, Uncle Zhao. He might be able to help us procure some meat. I’ll also invite him to the baby’s Full Moon Wine ceremony.”

“Uncle Zhao?” Mother Yun looked at Meng Yunhan with bewilderment, not knowing who Uncle Zhao was.

Meng Yunhan immediately explained to Mother Yun, “I heard from Ahao that Uncle Zhao is their former squad leader’s father. He now works at a scrap yard. Ahao and I met Uncle Zhao on New Year’s Day.”

Mother Yun knew her daughter-in-law had visited the town several times; each time, she would bring back some items.

“Then we’ll really need to put him to trouble.” Thinking of asking Uncle Zhao for help, Mother Yun expressed her gratitude.
