NOVPUBAt this time, Old Lady Zheng asked Xiaowang and Haonan to come in to eat some egg custards. She was holding a large bowl and said, “Come here, let grandma feed you.”
Haonan opened his mouth and ate the egg custard as if he was a chick. He took a bite before Old Lady Zheng fed Xiaowang another big bite.
Lin Lan said, “Aunt, why do you still feed him when he is so old?” Was her plan to find a good wife for Haonan in order to take care of him in the future? Sigh, all of the good kids are going to be so spoiled.
Old Lady Zheng smiled and said, “He’s so young anyways. Since I have time, I’ll just feed him. After all, I’m not tired in the slightest.”
Lin Lan, “Well, there’s only one of him. If there were a lot of kids like our family, you’d tire yourself out, aunt.”
Old Lady Zheng sighed, “Not that I think you’re joking but, there’s only one little treasure here to take care of(2). Sigh, even if I had 5 or 6 grandchildren, I wouldn’t be tired as well. The child’s mother is in a better state than I am— at least she has a daughter. As for me, I only have a single sprout, sigh.”
(T/N: I’m going to assume that the elder daughter doesn’t get pampered as much, which is sad)
Lin Lan, “…” She has been speechless since she entered the house.
This Old Lady Zheng was really good at everything— she was open-minded towards her daughter-in-law, not to mention being diligent and enthusiastic. However, she doted on her children a lot. She really…raised her son to be a freeloader. And now that her grandson was watching it all play out, he was going to become like this in the future as well.
The point was that Haonan might not be as handsome as Zheng Yaozu when he became older, but it would depend on fate whether or not he was able to have soft rice in the future as well.
Soon, Lin Mei and Zheng Yaozu returned.
Lin Mei was agile as she walked fast, leaving Zheng Yaozu to trail along behind her.
Zheng Yaozu gasped, “I’ll say, Lin Mei, why are you walking so quickly? It’s not like someone from the Market Management Office is chasing you.” 𝚗ov𝚙𝚞𝚋.c𝚘m
Lin Mei, “You, a big man, can’t handle me and you still have the nerve to say something like that to me,” She then looked at Lin Lan and smiled, “Now why did you have time to come over?”
Lin Lan said, “Is it not because our dear Han Jinyu is about to get married so we have to get some cloth?”
Lin Mei snorted, “Someone actually wants her?”
Zheng Yaozu, “Lin Mei, that’s just wrong. Even someone like you has someone who wants you…”
“Zheng Yaozu, shut up!” Lin Mei started to jab at him, not caring that she was doing it in front of her mother-in-law.
Old Lady Zheng didn’t feel ashamed, but followed Lin Mei in scolding her son, “Yaozu, don’t talk nonsense, Lin Mei is a good wife who can rarely be found.”
Zheng Yaozu acted coquettishly for his mother, “Mom, she always bullies me.”
Lin Lan felt goosebumps form all over her body. Her widened eyes were directed at Lin Mei as she showed her sister an exaggerated expression.
Lin Mei chuckled and stretched out her hand to pat her, “You’re an orchid flower, but you are still naughty even at your age.”
