Chapter 1305 - 1332: Vacation Island 7

Chapter 1305: Chapter 1332: Vacation Island 7

It’s the weekend today, so she doesn’t need to go to the infirmary.

With some free time on her hands, Nianyang thought that it was about time for the New Year. Even though this wasn’t her and Li Tingyan’s real home, it was still their little world, so they should at least celebrate a bit.

They didn’t need to prepare New Year goods themselves; the Chu and Li families had just sent another batch over a couple of days ago, all the must-have New Year supplies for Spring Festival nowadays.

Smoked pork and sausages, peanuts, sunflower seeds, candies, plus other foods and fruits that could be stored for a long time, they’d even prepared two new sets of clothes each for her and Li Tingyan.

So all Nianyang could do was thoroughly clean the place inside and out, then arrange the seeds, peanuts, candies, and fruits into several fancy patterns on plates. It actually felt a bit like New Year.

When He Suzhi came over looking for Nianyang and saw all the New Year goods in her room, she was utterly stunned.

"Chu Saozi, you’ve really got everything ready in here."

Nianyang smiled and said, "They’re all sent over by my family."

He Suzhi was deeply envious. Nianyang was living the kind of life she didn’t even dare dream of. Nianyang smiled and scooped up a handful of peanuts and candies for her.

"Try them, they’re all homemade by my family."

He Suzhi didn’t stand on ceremony. "Alright. My family made scallion pancakes today too. I’ll bring some over tonight for you to try."

Nianyang agreed at once, then asked, "Have you been drinking the brown sugar ginger tea I prepared for you on schedule?"

At the mention of this, He Suzhi got excited. "Of course I have. I was just about to tell you—what you gave me is amazing. I drink a bowl every day, my belly feels so warm, and my period doesn’t hurt anymore."

"That’s great. You have to keep it up."

Nianyang said that it shouldn’t be too long before there would be good news in He Suzhi’s belly.

"Definitely." He Suzhi then took Nianyang’s hand. "Chu Saozi, with Master Li not at home, you must get bored stuck here alone. Let’s go over to the family compound and make Spring Festival couplets together. They sent red paper and scissors, and every household can collect some to use."

Nianyang also felt she should socialize more; it would be good for the babies too, so she nodded and said okay.

He Suzhi supported Nianyang as they went out. A month had gone by, and although Nianyang hadn’t gained that much weight, her belly was huge, wobbling in a way that made people’s hearts clench to look at it.

"Chu Saozi, you’re only six months, right? How come it looks like you’re about to give birth? It must be tough for you normally."

Nianyang rubbed her sore lower back. "It’s alright, you get used to it."

He Suzhi said enviously, "Yeah, if I could be pregnant with twins, this wouldn’t count as hardship at all. I’d be laughing in my dreams."

Nianyang didn’t comment either way. She walked slowly, following He Suzhi to the front courtyard. The compound was buzzing, with long tables set out and almost all the Saozi there making couplets, heads together chatting, the air full of festive cheer.

When they saw Nianyang appear, the whole scene froze for a moment. Last time, she’d beaten up Mei Yanfang’s son in front of everyone—her swift and decisive methods were still vivid in their minds. Everyone felt Nianyang was not someone to mess with and were a bit wary of her.

He Suzhi said, "Hello, Saozis, Chu Saozi and I came to make couplets too. Could you save us a spot?"

The Saozis all nodded in a fluster, then wordlessly left an empty corner for them, heads bowed and silent, as if they were being oppressed by some evil force.

Nianyang, "..."

Was she really that terrifying?

Thinking of her project plan, she couldn’t let things get too stiff between her and these Saozis.

She curved her lips into a faint smile, pulled out a big handful of peanuts, seeds, and candies from her bag and placed them on the table.

"Saozis, these are New Year treats my family made themselves. Please have a taste."
