Previously, Xiaojie's father unloaded everything from the carriage and piled it in this room. Just the bird's nest, he brought five or six catties.

With so much donkey-hide gelatin, Cao Baimei was worried she would get a nosebleed if she drank it all.

But Liao Meiying was different. She had lost a lot of blood after giving birth last time, and bird's nest soup came in handy.

Yang Yongjin said, "Let you deliver the donkey-hide gelatin next time. I, a big man, go to the sister-in-law's room to deliver donkey-hide gelatin, and people will gossip about it."

Cao Baimei chuckled and covered her mouth, "You don't care about what you should care about, but you care more about things you shouldn't. Just go and deliver it if they ask you to. You don't need to go in. Your sister-in-law's biological mother is here; just give the things to her."

In that case, Yang Yongjin didn't have much else to say. He got up and collected some things, heading back to the old house.

First, I gave the donkey-hide gelatin to Liao's mother. Liao's mother couldn't help but ask him about Yang Yongxian. Yang Yong said, "My brother's condition is under control, he hasn't been causing trouble these days, don't worry, follow the doctor's orders and he should get better day by day."

Mrs. Liao nodded and asked a few more questions about Cao Baimei's mother and child before seeing Yang Yong enter the backyard.

Yang Yongjin delivered the items he sold to the Tan family, symbolically sat for a while, said a few words, then got up and took his leave. As he passed by the main hall of the big house, Liao's mother was waiting there.

"Yongjin, I don't have much here. Take these eggs back and give them to Baimei. They were sent by your aunts a while ago." Liao's mother said.

It's good manners to reciprocate, and Mrs. Liao does a great job of that.

Yang Yongjin smiled and said, "No need, you keep it for your sister-in-law to recuperate. Sister Eight has eggs there!"

Mrs. Liao stuffed the bag of eggs into Yang Yongjin's hand, saying, "Yours are yours, and these are just a little something from us. Take them, your sister-in-law can't eat that much anyway."

Yang Yongjin couldn't refuse, so he had to take the eggs back. On his way back, he passed by a house and saw a woman in the yard feeding chickens.

Yang Yongjin then stopped and spent a hundred copper coins with the woman to buy three old hens. He carried them home excitedly in his hands.

After walking a long way, the woman still stood there and told those around her, "The son-in-law is really different from his father. He is so attentive to his wife. He bought an old hen back and made soup for his daughter-in-law to nourish herself. These young men are really caring, more considerate than those older men..."

Even the cleverest son-in-law loves his wife, so Yang Yongxian is not a good man...

Yang Yongxian returned home with a clucking hen and some eggs. Cao Baimei couldn't help but tease him, "You made a profit on this trip! You brought back both a chicken and eggs. Once my confinement period is over, I bet I'll be as fat as a pig."

Yang Yongjin said: "You are too thin, you would look better if you were a little heavier."

“I’ll keep the old hen in the backyard coop for now, and I’ll slaughter it when I need to eat.”

Yang Huamei came, bringing two kilograms of red sugar and two kilograms of black sesame.

"Come and see my little grandson," she said.

He looked listless, his face pale and with dark circles under his eyes.

Sun Shi looked at Yang Huamei, then turned her head to glance at Cao Baimei who had just given birth, and couldn't help but wonder: "Meier, what's wrong with you? Why is your complexion so bad? Eight Sister just gave birth, and her complexion is better than yours. What's going on?" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

"Is that so?" Yang Huamei raised her hand and touched her face.

Cao Baimei also looked at Yang Huamei with concern: "Mei'er Auntie, what's wrong with you? Did you not sleep well? Or is something uncomfortable about your body?"

Yang Huamei let her hand fall, twitching the corner of her mouth to force out a wry smile.

"Don't even mention it, I haven't had a good night's sleep in days." she said.

"Why?" asked Mrs. Sun.

Yang Huamei sighed, "I'm worn out from dealing with the twins."

"What's wrong with Gemini again?" asked Sun.

After asking, she paused for a moment. Why did she add the word "again"?

"There are more than ten days before the rankings are released. My heart is hanging in the air every day. I ask them, how do they think they did, but neither of them says anything. The more they don't say anything, the more anxious I get. I'm up and down all day long, and I can't sleep at night." Yang Huamei said.

Sun and Cao Baimei looked at each other, both couldn't help but laugh.

“After all that worry, it turns out Auntie was concerned about her two nephews taking the imperial examinations! I was so startled.” Cao Bamai said.

Mrs. Sun also said, "Meier, don't worry, I think both of these children are pretty good, they will definitely pass the exam."

“Even if they don’t pass this year, they can take it again next year. They are only eleven years old, they have plenty of time to study for the exam. You shouldn't worry too much!”

Upon hearing Sun's consolation, Yang Huamei's heart finally felt a little better.

After the exams, they didn't go to the town school for a while, just stayed at home. Little Black was slightly better; every day when I said a few words to him, he would look at his books for a while. But Big White couldn't do it. He wasn't willing to read. My husband and Brother-in-law, along with Big White's grandfather, all urged him, but Big White still wouldn't read. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

"When he talks too much, he just runs back to his room, slams the door shut from the inside, and doesn't even come out for meals. This child is too odd, strange and stubborn."

Sun said: "Children grow up, you can't beat them or scold them anymore. You have to talk to them properly..."

Yang Huamei waved her hand: “Maybe other children can make sense, but Dabai can’t. When I reason with him, his sophistry is more than mine, and I can't argue with him.”

Then Sun and Cao Bajie laughed again.

Yang Huamei also smiled helplessly, "Having a son in this life is truly like being born with a sword. At first glance, you feel proud to be able to carry on the family line and have face in the village."

“But this really grows bigger and bigger, the more you worry about it. In the future, when you marry him off and have grandchildren, if he is capable, we can still relax a bit and enjoy our old age together.”

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

“If he doesn’t pull his weight, we’ll be supporting him and his family until we’re old! Raising a son is really tiring!”

Yang Huamei shook her head as she spoke, the woman who had once felt invincible in the village after giving birth to twin sons was now a shadow of her former self.

As time goes by and years pass, children grow day by day, and their expenses increase accordingly. However, the family income cannot keep pace with this growth. Gradually, things become increasingly difficult, and life becomes more and more strained.

Yang Huamei sighed here, and after being comforted by Mrs. Sun and Cao's younger sister, it was almost noon.

Remembering that there were four old men at home waiting for her to cook, Yang Huamei hurried away.

Before leaving, Cao Baimei also took two boxes of snacks for her to bring back to the twins. Yang Huamei hesitated for a moment but accepted them.

The cost of the two boxes of snacks is much more expensive than the red sugar and sesame seeds she brought.

After seeing Yang Huamei off, Caobaimei said to Sun Shi, "My aunt's family seems to be having a hard time now. Could raising sons really be so expensive?"

Sun smiled bitterly: "Some things cannot be said in front of your aunt. No matter if it's a boy or a girl, they all need to be properly taught. Your aunt's twins have been pampered since they were young. In Qing'er's words, they are accustomed to getting whatever they want and have developed bad habits. When the day comes that their demands cannot be met, they will turn against you!"
