"That's good to hear." The old lady nodded with a smile, then turned to Tian Niu and said, "There's going to be a big market at the entrance of the village this afternoon, people from all around are coming. It's almost New Year. Take Shuangshuang with you to see if there's anything worth buying and get some things for the house."
"I have to set up the stove in Shuangshuang's room this afternoon, so let the second younger sister take her. The eldest sister should stay and help me," Tian Niu said.
"That works too," the old lady agreed.
It was Gu Shuangshuang's first time going to the market, and she found it quite novel. She decided to go for it; even if there wasn't anything to buy, it would still be fun just to browse around.
Right before the two left the house, the old lady took the second younger sister's hand and kept reminding her, "You have to take good care of your sister-in-law! She is pregnant now."
