Cheng Wanwan walked into the house holding her eldest granddaughter.
Wu Huiniang was sitting in the yard writing. She was pregnant now, and her mother-in-law rarely let her go to the restaurant. Chunhua had been practicing for so long, and she was enough to handle the diners of the Dahe Banquet, and nothing went wrong during this period.
A Dahe Banquet recipe book was quickly written, and Wu Huiniang showed a satisfied smile on her face.
When she looked up, she saw her mother-in-law walking in with her daughter in her arms, and stood up quickly: "Xiao Zhuzhu, you are so old, why are you hanging on your grandma? Come down quickly... Mom, don't spoil her too much. The girl is too heavy, so my mother was careful not to move her waist."
Cheng Wanwan said helplessly: "I'm only thirty-five, and I'm not old, so why did I slip away?"
Although she is already a grandmother-level figure, she feels that she is still very young, far from the age to live in old age...
She sat down with her eldest granddaughter in her arms, flipped through the cookbook on the table, and praised her sincerely, "Huiniang, your writing is getting better and better, and the recipes are also written clearly. People who have never held a spatula will probably I can cook several dishes according to the instructions.”
Wu Huiniang pursed her lips and smiled sheepishly: "I have nothing to do at home every day, so I reorganized the recipes. Ergou said that he will open a second branch soon. With this recipe, many things will be much more convenient. ”
Cheng Wanwan nodded.
In fact, after the first branch opened in Hekou County, many people approached Ergou to join Daheyan Restaurant.
However, she believed that if any restaurant expanded too quickly initially, problems would definitely arise later on, especially in ancient times when the legal system was imperfect, so she told Ergou to expand every six months. It has been more than half a year now, and it can indeed be considered. Open a second branch.
From now on, Huiniang’s task is to develop new dishes every month, provide special training for franchisees, and inspect the kitchens of franchise stores from time to time to ensure that the dishes and services are consistent with those of the main store.
Nowadays, Cheng Wanwan no longer needs help from Cheng Wanwan to come up with ideas for new dishes. Wu Huiniang has her own ideas, and Mrs. Ma is the master of this industry. After discussion, the two of them can always come up with some strange ideas, not to mention, Very popular with diners.
Just as she was talking, Mrs. Li suddenly rushed out from the backyard: "Anren, the second young lady is red and is about to give birth..."
Cheng Wanwan stood up suddenly: "Cheng Jia, hurry up, go to the city to ask for Wen Po, and call Er Gou back..."
The most famous midwife in the city is Mrs. Yu, and it was Mrs. Yu who delivered Xiaozhuzhu. She narrowly escaped death because Mrs. Yu turned a bad situation into a good one.
She hurriedly walked to the backyard. One of Wei Hongying and Wei Hongyan went to boil water, and the other stayed by the bed to cheer her up. Cao Yingying screamed loudly, and she seemed to be in good spirits.
Cheng Wanwan asked someone to prepare everything needed before walking into Cao Yingying's bedroom.
"Yingying, don't shout yet, save your energy." Cheng Wanwan held her hand and said softly, "Mom has already made chicken soup. I will drink the chicken soup later and regenerate."
There are many women giving birth in the village every month, and she has some experience. It takes about ten hours for a new mother to go through labor from the beginning to the official start of labor. If she keeps screaming, she will not have the strength to give birth to the baby. .
"It hurts, mother, it hurts so much..."
Cao Yingying grabbed Cheng Wanwan's hand and gasped for air.
"Mom knows that you are in pain, and that's right. The child is working hard to come out." She gently stroked the broken hair on her daughter-in-law's forehead, "The child is working hard, and you, the mother, must also work hard. The chicken soup will be ready after a while. alright……"
She sat by the bed and talked with Cao Yingying. Whenever labor pains came, she would tell some interesting stories about Zhao Ergou's childhood to divert Cao Yingying's attention.
Not long after, Wu Huiniang came in with chicken soup and helped Cao Yingying drink it. At this time, Zhao Ergou also came back with Mrs. Yu, sweating profusely and rushing in with an anxious look on his face.
Mrs. Yu looked at Cao Yingying's condition and said with a smile: "It's still early. It will take at least two hours. Don't hang around here. Go do whatever you need to do. I'll just keep watch."
How could Zhao Ergou leave? He stayed by the bedside all the time. Whenever the labor pain came, his eyebrows would wrinkle.
As the intervals between labor pains became shorter and shorter, and became more and more regular, Mrs. Yu's expression changed: "It's time to open the eight fingers, the baby is coming out, you can bring hot water in, and the father of the baby, please don't stay here..."
With Granny Yu here, everything was in order, and Cao Yingying was also very cooperative. After about an hour of giving birth in the room, the sound of the baby crying was heard.
Cheng Wanwan's heart suddenly relaxed and he walked quickly inside.
Mrs. Yu handed the little baby she picked up into Cheng Wanwan's hands: "Congratulations to Sui'an, it's a big fat boy. Sui'an has a baby. Mother and son are safe."
"Brother...it's my younger brother!"
Xiaozhuzhu sneaked in at some point and shouted excitedly.
Zhao Sidan stood at the door and shouted: "Mom, take your little nephew out quickly and let me take a look..."
In the past, he would have rushed straight into the delivery room, but now that he has read a lot, he naturally understands etiquette and is determined not to step foot into his sister-in-law's door.
Cheng Wanwan said helplessly: "The child is too young to be taken out to enjoy the air. You can see it later."
She carried the child to the bedside and placed it next to Cao Yingying.
Cao Yingying's eyes were filled with children, and the smile on her face gradually became radiant with the brilliance of a mother. She gently stroked the child's face, and many emotions were revealed from her eyes.
"Yingying, thank you for your hard work."
Zhao Ergou held Cao Yingying's hand distressedly.
Cao Yingying smiled and shook her head: "It's not hard, not hard at all. You are going to be a father and I am going to be a mother. It's great..."
Seeing the young couple being affectionate in the room, Cheng Wanwan took everyone out.
Mrs. Qi took out a money bag and handed it to Mrs. Yu. In it was a reward of ten taels of silver.
Mrs. Yu said some postpartum precautions before leaving.
Cao Yingying's body recovered very well. She was able to get out of bed the same day, started breastfeeding that night, and was able to go to the ground the next day. Three days later, the family had three drinks.
When little Zhuzhu was born and had a three-wine ceremony, of course the eldest grandson also had to have a lively one.
There were many more guests invited this time than last time. There were people from Dahe Village, Cao's family, Cheng Wanwan's close friends, and of course Cao Yingying's close friends, as well as Zhao Ergou's business partners. .
The Sui'an family held a banquet, and as long as they were invited, everyone came to the door. Early in the morning, carriages were parked at the door of the house.
"Congratulations, the Suian people now have grandchildren!"
"The people of Sui'an are blessed. They have many children and grandchildren, which makes others envious!"
"I'm the same age as the people in Sui'an. My son hasn't gotten married yet, and I don't know when I can have a grandson."
"..."
Those who came to congratulate him sent congratulatory messages and gifts, and were led to sit down in the yard. The men sat in the front yard, and the women sat in the back yard. Fortunately, the place was big enough to allow them to sit widely.
