Chapter 276: Chapter 277: The Glutinous Rice Balls are Really Delicious1

Li Chunhua felt even more upset. She had no idea what that peculiar little girl did to Jinbao, but he seemed to be quite taken with her.

Upon seeing her, he appeared even more excited than he did when he saw his own mother.

Upon hearing the noise, Helian Qiao glanced apathetically at this human toddler who had benefited from a touch of her Dragon Soul.

Although she didn’t despise him, she held no particular attraction towards him either. After a brief glance, she shifted her gaze.

Her entire focus was on the egg she held in her hands. She gulped it down with a satisfying groan and squinted her eyes in satisfaction.

Delicious!

The immense Dabai, was obediently lying at her feet, dutifully acting as a furry foot-warmer for the little master.

Zhao Mei came out of the house, saw Jinbao waving his little hands and a loving smile spread across her face, "Third sister, let me hold Jinbao."

She hoped some of the boy’s good fortune would rub off on her so she could have a smooth delivery of a son.

Out of all the boys in the house, Jinbao was the most handsome, with his pure white skin and well-behaved nature.

Speaking of it, she rubbed her belly which was still not visibly pregnant.

She had been pregnant for three months and hoped this child would be a boy, and if possible, just as fair-skinned and well-behaved as Jinbao.

Zhao Mei was weighed down by the fear of having another girl and this stress had made her look pale and exhausted.

Both Dani and Erni, standing not far away, hoped they would get a younger brother. If that happened, life in the Chen family would certainly improve for them.

Erni thought to herself that once she had a younger brother, she could get him to grab good things from Guibao!

Li Chunhua noticed Zhao Mei’s concerns and couldn’t help but smirk in triumph.

In the household, only the elder sister-in-law had discerning eyes and could recognize the perfection of her Jinbao.

As a result, feeling magnanimous, she let Zhao Mei hold Jinbao, but quickly took him back to avoid sharing too much of Jinbao’s good fortune.

Liu Lanzhi, who was also pregnant, found herself expecting right in the second month of her marriage.

At this point, she was about five months pregnant and her belly had rightfully popped.

Contrary to Zhao Mei’s worries and pale complexion, Lanzhi was more at ease and open-minded. She ate well daily and consequently looked radiant and rosy-cheeked.

For her, a boy or a girl didn’t matter. She dearly cherished each one!

Of course, if the child looked just as lovely as Guibao or Gu Tingyun, it’d be a bonus.

"Everyone go to the stove to make tangyuan (rice dumplings)."

Ma Xiulian called out for her daughters-in-law to prepare breakfast in the kitchen. For the first day of the New Year, they would have tangyuan.

Everyone was thrilled and excited, because the dumplings were made with fine flour and filled with sesame mixed with brown sugar, a rare delicacy indeed.

Moreover, the brown sugar was so valuable it required sugar tickets to purchase even a small amount.

Meanwhile, the men of the Chen family still lay in bed resting and recovering from a busy year, taking advantage of the New Year holidays to gain some extra sleep.

About twenty minutes later, Zhao Mei brought a large bowl of white and plump tangyuan to the table and announced, "The tangyuan is ready!"

At her call, Helian Qiao immediately ran to the table and clambered onto the stool. Seeing the large bowl of tangyuan, she gasped in delight.

"So many tangyuans!"

Her chubby cheeks trembled with excitement, looking as delicate and delectable as the dumplings themselves.

Ma Xiulian was the first to scoop out a bowlful for her, and cautioned, "Be careful not to burn yourself!"

"Yes!"

Helian Qiao obediently nodded her head. The little bell on her head jingled melodiously, producing a sweet and pleasing sound.

She spooned up a tangyuan, held it up to her mouth, and blew on it with her red, cherry-like tiny lips.

After imparting her with some wisdom, Ma Xiulian only then began serving the tangyuan to the others.
