Futuristic Chef Transmigrated As Mother-Chapter 428 - Dream Shop

428 Dream Shop

The next morning, right after Xiaoguo finished her breakfast, she went to visit Mrs. Yang armed with a basket of eggs and two thick blankets that she had made for the two babies.

“Sister-in-law is here.”

Yang Jia was the one who opened the door. When he saw Xiaoguo, he couldn’t hide the joy on his face. Now their whole family regarded her as their life-saving benefactor, so they are naturally very grateful to her.

Xiaoguo responded with a smile. Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling greeted him as Brother Jia.

!!

After entering, Xiaoguo looked around and heard Yang Jia say,

“My mother went to the county early in the morning. She said that she was going to buy an old hen to make some nourishing soup for my sister-in-law.”

Yang Jia spoke to Xiaoguo as they walked into the house. However, when they reached the door of the inner room, he stopped and said, “My sister-in-law is inside. Please go in.”

Xiaoguo nodded, knowing that he was trying to make himself scarce.

Upon entering the room, she saw that Mrs Yang was breastfeeding. Xiaoguo felt relieved when she saw her rosy complexion.

“Sister-in-law, didn’t I say that you were having twins…?”

She had told Mrs. Yang yesterday morning that she must be pregnant with twins, but she denied it repeatedly. Just look at how it turned out.

Mrs Yang looked at her helplessly and smiled. “Yes, yes, yes. You’re good!”

Xiaoguo walked over and sat by the bed. She reached out and patted the two babies. “Brother Yang must be overjoyed.”

“Sigh. He didn’t come back after going out yesterday. He definitely has no idea that I’ve given birth. I wonder if his work is more important than his wife.”

Mrs Yang couldn’t help but feel a little aggrieved. He didn’t even make an effort to inform them when he was not coming home. Was he really that busy?

“Brother doesn’t know that you had given birth. If he knows, he would have rushed back during the night.”

Yang Feng was someone who doted on his wife very much. If he knew that his wife had given birth while he was out, he would crawl back if he had to.

Mrs Yang snickered, but she gritted her teeth and said, “When he comes back, I’ll teach him a lesson!”

Xiaoguo smiled and didn’t take her words seriously.

Just then, Mrs. Yang’s two babies were fully fed and they were staring around curiously with their big eyes, looking extremely adorable.

Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling had wanted to hold the babies for a long time. As soon as Mrs. Yang put them down, they immediately picked the babies up. Although both of them were inexperienced, they quickly got the hang of holding the babies and even patted them quite skillfully. In no time, the two little babies fell asleep in their arms.

“By the way, Sister-in-law, look at the small blankets I made for the babies.”

Xiaoguo handed over the blankets she had placed behind her. Mrs Yang got dressed and took them from Xiaoguo, looking at them lovingly for a long time.

“This is wonderful…” Mrs Yang rubbed the blanket against her body. “This is so soft. There must be a lot of cotton stuffing inside.”

Xiaoguo smiled. Looking at Mrs Yang’s pained expression, she said, “It’s for my two little nephews. It’s fine even if I had to use more.”

Mrs Yang was overjoyed to hear this.

Before the weather turned cold, Xiaoguo had gone to the shops to buy fabric and a lot of cotton stuffing. By the time she finished stitching up the blankets, the temperature had dropped drastically. She had made two blankets thinking that Mrs. Yang could use them interchangeably. Now, it was just nice, with each baby having their own blanket.

“Xiaoguo, I haven’t thanked you yet,”

Mrs Yang said to Xiaoguo after carefully placing the neatly folded blankets beside her

“It’s just two blankets for my little nephews. You don’t have to thank me.”

When Mrs Yang heard this, she smiled and shook her head. “No, I’m thanking you for helping me to deliver the babies yesterday. You, Yu Ling and Xiao Zhu saved my life.”

Xiaoguo was going to say that there was no need to thank her, but Mrs Yang took her hand and continued, “You don’t know, I was actually so afraid yesterday. I really thought that I was going to suffocate during labor.”

Mrs Yang’s eyes instantly shimmered with tears. Xiaoguo was stunned for a moment. She looked so calm yesterday. Xiaoguo had no idea that she was so scared…

“The babies came so suddenly, so we weren’t mentally prepared at all. Do you know that my heart turned cold when the amniotic fluid broke? When I heard Xiaohua and Xiaohu crying, I felt even worse. I wanted to comfort them, but I couldn’t due to the pain. At that time, I really felt like my life was coming to an end.” Mrs Yang wiped her tears and continued, “If it weren’t for you, I might have died. I was so lucky to have you with me. I must thank you for your help.”

“Yu Ling and Xiao Zhu too. Thank you so much. When I recover, I’ll definitely make floral dresses for the two of you.”

When Xiaoguo heard this, she smiled and said to the two bashful girls, “You’re in luck. Sister-in-law is an expert at making clothes.”

Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling looked at each other and nodded with a smile.

Just then, the two sleeping babies suddenly made some noises. Mrs. Yang, being an experienced mother, immediately knew that they had pooped.

Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling had never seen someone change a diaper before, so they obediently stayed by Mrs. Yang’s side to learn from her.

Xiaoguo looked at Mrs Yang, who was smiling benevolently at this moment, and sighed to herself. It’s impossible for any woman to go through something like this and not feel afraid.

Fortunately, Mrs Yang was healthy and delivered the baby smoothly.

At that time, it was an emergency situation and Xiaoguo was the only person who could help with the delivery. Looking back, it was really quite a frightening experience.

However, if she had to choose again, she would still choose to help Mrs. Yang with the delivery.

So there was no need for her to feel conflicted—she had done a good deed after all.

Pfft pfft pfft…

An odor accompanied by some odd sounds was detected in the room. Apart from Mrs Yang, who was laughing uncontrollably at the side, the other three people were feeling dizzy from the smell.

Even Xiaoguo, who was sitting furthest away, was affected by the stench. Who said that a child’s feces and farts didn’t smell? It smells as bad as that of an adult.

Xiaoguo didn’t stay for long. She wanted to make a trip to the county in the afternoon and drop off the letter at the courier station. After that, she had to go check on the shop.

The last time she went, the renovation works were almost completed. There was only some finer details left that had to be worked on. It had been a week since then, so it should be about time to wrap things up.

After lunch, Xiaoguo got ready to set off for the county. She had brought money with her. If the renovations were complete, she could make the final payment.

Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling had not gone out for some time, so they tagged along with her to check things out.

The few of them went to the courier station first. After handing in the letter, they headed to the two-story building.

At this moment, Shu Botong was wiping the tables in the room.

During this period, the construction work in the building has almost been completed, and the tables that Xiaoguo had ordered were also done. However, the craftsmen had sent over the tables too early, so the surfaces of the tables were now covered in dust due to the renovations. Shu Botong had been wiping the tables and rinsing the rags incessantly on a daily basis.

...

After cleaning the last table, Shu Botong did a stretch and counted the days in silence. He lamented to himself, “Why has Xiaoguo not come to visit this place yet?”

As soon as Xiaoguo entered the house, she heard his voice. She knew that it had been a long time since she last paid a visit, so she smiled and said, “I’m here now.”

Shu Botong turned around in surprise with a guilty expression on his face. He had actually spoken his mind. Fortunately he didn’t criticize her for breaking her promise. If she had heard it, she might have given him another slap.

Just thinking about it made his face hurt.

Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling were snickering as they followed behind Xiaoguo. When Shu Botong saw their smug and gloating faces, he felt rather depressed. Because of his status, the old and young were bullying him at the same time. “Sigh…”

Xiaoguo did not notice the little interactions between the three of them. She walked directly to the staircase that led to the second floor. The previous staircase had been in disrepair for many years and was in shambles. After it was torn down and rebuilt, there was now a brand new staircase in the building.

They went up the stairs to the second floor. The craftsmen were now working on the final carvings.

The design of the railing on the second floor was personally designed by Lu Ban from Yonghai, who was Mrs. Yang’s cousin. The finished product was indeed beautiful. Now, all they had to do was to carve out the same floral designs onto every piece of the railing. After installing the railings, the renovations would be complete.

Xiaoguo didn’t disturb the craftsmen. She only watched on, feeling more and more satisfied with their work. This was the shop of her dreams.
