So Aunt Hao came over early on purpose to help out.
Aunt is here? Come in! Tang Zhicheng looked up and immediately came out of the kitchen upon seeing Aunt Hao.
Hmm, where's Feifei? I want to see the little moon. Aunt Hao said as she walked into the house.
Feifei is taking a shower; she’ll be here soon. Gao Chunying also came out of the kitchen to greet Aunt Hao.
Inside, the child was sleeping soundly.
As soon as Aunt Hao entered, she rushed over to the little girl. Oh my, this little one has changed so much! She’s gotten chubby in just a few days!
Aunt Hao had come the day after Ye Fangfei was discharged from the hospital after giving birth. At that time, the little girl was only seven days old and still a bit wrinkled.
After a month of feeding, the little girl had grown from six pounds six ounces at birth to nine pounds six ounces now. She had gained a full three pounds in this month.
Feifei’s milk is good, and the little one has a strong appetite, so of course she’s gotten chubby! Gao Chunying said with a smile.
A child needs to have a good appetite to grow well. Auntie, look at our little moon; she’s getting more and more beautiful! Aunt Hao said as she took out a pair of small silver bracelets to put on the little girl.
Auntie, this is too precious. We can’t accept it. Tang Zhicheng quickly refused when he saw Aunt Hao giving the child a pair of silver bracelets.
Zhicheng, why are you being polite with Auntie? Besides, this is for the child. Aunt Hao said.
That’s right, Zhicheng, there’s no need to be polite with your auntie. Look how pretty our little moon looks with these bracelets on!
It’s a pity there’s no gold; if there were, a pair of gold ones would look even better. Gao Chunying said as she carefully examined the little moon's wrist.
Our little moon's skin would indeed look better with gold. Aunt Hao nodded in agreement.
Tang Zhicheng didn’t say anything but made a mental note to get his daughter a pair of gold bracelets in the future.
Oh, Auntie is here? At that moment, Ye Fangfei came out after her shower.
Aunt Hao looked up and saw Ye Fangfei had just finished bathing.
In November weather, even though Ye Fangfei was wearing a thick cotton coat and a hat, her face was still red from the cold.
You silly girl, just out of confinement and you’re already running around like this. If you catch a cold, you won’t be so vain anymore! Aunt Hao scolded.
Auntie, I’m fine! I haven’t bathed in a month; I feel so dirty! Ye Fangfei said playfully.
As the warmth of the kang enveloped her, she rubbed her hair dry, feeling a bit under the weather. Aunt Hao scolded her with words, but her concern was genuine.
At that moment, Tang Zhicheng came in with a towel. "Wife, hurry up and dry off. Once you're done, come sit on the kang and chat with Auntie. I'll go prepare lunch."
"Alright, you go ahead. I'll help you in a bit," Ye Fangfei nodded.
"No need for that; I can manage on my own. You've just finished your confinement period; you still need to rest," Tang Zhicheng replied before heading back to his tasks.
Inside the room, Hao Chunying and Aunt Hao exchanged satisfied glances as they observed how well Tang Zhicheng treated his wife.
Hao Chunying couldn't let her brother-in-law do everything alone, so she said to Aunt Hao, "Sister, you stay here; I'll help out too."
"Let's work together. I came early specifically to lend a hand," Aunt Hao said as she stood up to join her.
Hao Chunying didn't refuse; there was no need for pretense with her own sister.
"What are we making for lunch? Is there anything I can help with?" Aunt Hao asked as she entered the kitchen.
"We're preparing three main dishes today: braised pork, steamed fish, and chicken stew with mushrooms."
"I've already started the chicken stew. Sister, you're great at making braised pork; why don't you handle that today?"
"Fangfei will take care of the steamed fish. The cold dishes are ready, and the stir-fried dishes are prepped; we just need to wait for everyone to arrive before cooking them."
