Chapter 1229: 303: Priceless Treasure!_3
Yuanyuan was truly fated with them!
Zhao Yu squatted down, then asked, “Granny Auntie, how many months old is the little auntie now?”
“Six months,” Ni Chengui answered.
In truth, they didn’t know exactly how old the child was, but when they found Yuanyuan, she had nothing but a worn blanket on her!
She didn’t even have a birth date!
She looked about five months old, and since they had already been taking care of her for a month, they said that she was six months old.
She actually had to address a six-month-old child as little auntie…
Zhao Yu pursed her lips, feeling it was too hard on her!
When leaving, Ni Yang gave Yuanyuan a big red envelope.
Ni Chengui politely refused to accept it.
Ni Yang said with a smile, “Auntie Ni, this red envelope isn’t for you, it’s for my younger sister! If you don’t accept it, then it means you think it’s too little!”
Ni Chengui hurriedly said, “No, no! Yangyang, I didn’t mean that!”
“Then you should accept it,” Ni Yang continued, “consider it as a gesture from me as an older sister.”
Ni Chengui then accepted the money.
The next day, the news that Ni Chengui had taken in a child spread throughout Jinghua Village, and everyone came to Ni Chengui’s house to see the excitement.
In this era, it wasn’t uncommon to see children outside, because with family planning in place, many families in hopes of having a son had abandoned countless daughters. Families with a bit of money would go for checks when the pregnant woman was five months along, and if they found out it was a girl, they would directly abort it.
This had led to a chain reaction, causing the number of girls to decrease progressively, making it increasingly difficult for boys to find brides, and the number of bachelors increased as well.
“My goodness! Look how beautiful this little girl is!”
“It’s surprising, she kind of looks like Dawei and Chengui.”
“I think so too!”
“Chengui, Dawei, you guys are blessed to raise such a pretty little girl.”
“What’s the child’s name?”
In fact, the ones truly making the dumplings were only Ni Yang and Mo Qishen.
Little Ni Yun and Zhao Yu were purely causing mischief.
Zhao Yu shaped the dough into a little person, “Yunyun, does this look like you?”
Little Ni Yun snorted disdainfully, “Ugly to death! Not like me at all! I am naturally beautiful!”
Zhao Yu made a vomiting gesture.
Ni Yang couldn’t stop laughing.
Upon her return, Luona first went to reunite with Madame Shangguan and Madame Zheng, since she hadn’t seen the two elderly ladies for nearly a year and had much to talk about.
Jonathan went to check on his little garden, which he had initiated with Old Master Zheng during his previous time at the Ni Family’s home, and he had left it in Old Master Zheng’s care ever since.
The entire garden was hidden beneath the snow in winter, except for a plum tree that was flourishing.
The red plum blossoms against the white snow were particularly striking, and Jonathan quickly started taking pictures with his camera.
After the dumplings were made, Ni Cuihua took out a bunch of fried round dough balls and some other snacks, asking Ni Yang and Mo Qishen to bring them to the Wu Family, mentioning that Shangguan Xi liked these.
