The atmosphere at home was busy and lively. When Qiuqiu remembered the snacks she brought with her, the cake inside had already cooled down.
Qiuqiu grabbed a piece of white and soft cake and stuffed it into his mouth. Although it was cold, it tasted good.
"Thank you."
Shi'er quietly accompanied her and sat beside her.
"Do you look at these things fresh?" Qiuqiu turned his head and looked at the room: "It's like this for ordinary people."
There are troubles every day, but there may also be unexpected surprises.
There are no major ups and downs, but smooth and peaceful.
Qiuqiu's ideal life before was like parents, and husband and wife support each other and love each other.
What she has now is a completely different life.
People in the world say that gods are good, but there is another saying that only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals.
Can Shi'er and her be together forever?
Practitioners usually have spiritual love. To put it bluntly, there is no skin-friendship, and of course, there are no children.
She and Shi'er probably will do the same.
Qiuqiu also grabbed a piece of cake and handed it to him: "Do you eat it?"
She felt that Shi'er probably wouldn't know how to eat it, but Shi'er opened her mouth and bit the cake with her hand and ate it.
Qiuqiu looked around, but fortunately no one was there.
But she still quickly retracted her hand.
Shi'er's lips did not touch her fingers.
But Qiuqiu still felt that her fingertips were a little numb, not only numb, but also a little hot, as if there was a flame that was stuck there. She was so burning that she was restless.
Is this person unintentional?
When he was eating steamed cake just now, he lowered his head and drooped his eyelids and glanced over. His eyes were so deep that it made her want to tremble.
She couldn't tell how much it contained in that glance, so she couldn't see it clearly.
She didn't know how to accept and respond.
So her first reaction was to quickly retract her hands. If there was a pile of sand next to her, Qiuqiu might learn from a little ostrich and dig a hole to bury her head.
She didn't dare to look at him anymore, and most of the steamed cake made her deformed.
I just felt it was fragrant and soft, but now it tastes a little too delicious.
She knew he was still looking at her.
The eyes should have no heat or weight. But Qiuqiu felt that half of the face facing Shi'er was particularly uncomfortable, as if she was exposed to the scorching summer sunshine, slowly turning red, permed and swelling.
She has nothing to look good about. Why does he keep staring at her?
Qiuqiu stayed at home for two days, and her younger sister and she could not stay at home for a long time. The scholar still persuaded the scholar's mother and hired someone to come to the house to help with the house. With their family background, it was not a burden.
The sister-in-law is in her forties and is very capable. She is a person from the town. Her husband has passed away, and her son has married a wife who has entered the house and cannot get along with her. So she is unwilling to stay at her son's house and make them annoyed.
, if you go out to work odd jobs like this, you can support yourself. Everyone in the town knows the truth and feel at ease when using it.
The scholar's wife was still a little frightened. She was a person who was used to doing things. She let her sit still and take care of her baby and enjoy it. She was so restless that she couldn't eat. Qiuqiu discovered it first, and then she hired her to do things.
The sister-in-law discussed that some relaxed work can help the scholar's wife to help her move, so that she can't be bored and rest in peace. It would be even better if she could talk to her more often.
After giving this advice, the situation finally improved. The scholarly lady could do everything, such as picking vegetables, rubbing threads, and weaving ropes, which were effortless and didn't require any movement, and she enjoyed it. Something could pass the time.
, the smile on her face became more and more.
Qiuqiu looked at the scholar's wife like this, and she thought sadly. Maybe the scholar's wife had given birth to a child... Maybe even earlier, since she got married, she never stopped working for a day, so she became so idle now.
A habit that cannot be kept.
After these days of anxiety, the scholar's wife finally accepted the reality that she was going to have another child.
At night, she asked the scholar quietly, if he wanted a son or a daughter?
The scholar said he wanted a daughter.
The scholar's wife was surprised and thought that what he said was not the truth.
There is only one son, no matter what, there are too few children and blessings. How could a scholar not expect another son?
"My son is not caring about his daughter, so you can give birth to another girl."
The scholar's wife's eyes turned red.
She gave birth to two daughters, but she couldn't stay by her side. She felt so worried every day that she really lived like a year. The scholar must have seen her miss her daughter so hard all day long that she said she would give birth to another daughter.
"Oh, although my daughter is sensible, caring and well-behaved, she always wants to get married. It's better to have a son and marry a wife in the future. I'll treat her as a daughter, wouldn't it be enough?"
Then how can it be the same?
However, the scholar did not argue with her about this issue at this time.
As long as you are born safe and healthy, both men and women can do it.
Of course my son is very good, and my daughter is very good.
That is, if you have another daughter, then the immortal leader said that she had wisdom and wanted to take her as an apprentice. The scholar thought that not to mention his wife, he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand such a blow. As the saying goes, there are only three things to do.
Qiuqiu and his sister, scholar and his wife already felt that they were digging their hearts and things were gone, and they could not experience such things anymore.
From this point of view, it's better to have a son and have a insurance point.
But this is not something they can control.
The little sister stayed for every three days and had to say goodbye to her family and go back to Xuannv Temple. Qiuqiu stayed for another day and stayed with the scholar's wife all day long, helping her with her work and talking with her.
The scholar's wife held her hand, but she was reluctant to let go, and she had endless things to say to her.
Qiuqiu was not worried about the scholar's wife and told her to take good care of herself and not to be careless.
“When will it be born?”
The scholar's wife counted her fingers and calculated: "It's summer, can you come back then?"
Qiuqiu also wants to come back, but even she can't say whether she can do it then.
"I will try my best to leave time. If I don't come then, your father and you think about asking your younger sister to send me a message and tell me so that I can rest assured."
The scholar's wife touched her daughter's hair and nodded: "I know, I have remembered it and will never forget it."
Qiuqiu imagined a new life being nurtured in the body of the scholar's wife. Her eyes moved to the scholar's wife's belly and looked at her abdomen with almost awe.
Life is still shallow now, and the scholar's lady's belly is not bulging.
"Can you touch it?"
The scholarly lady rarely saw her daughter showing such an expression, as if she had suddenly returned to the scene when she was a child.
After having Qiuqiu, she became pregnant twice. Qiuqiu was very sensible and obedient at that time. When she cooked, Qiuqiu would help her burn the fire in front of the stove. How old was she at that time? The scholar's wife was afraid that she would be angry.
After the burn, she burned herself. Fortunately, this kind of love never happened.
"Touch, don't be polite." The scholar's wife said generously.
Qiuqiu's hand gently pressed on the scholar's lower abdomen.
The days of pregnancy are still shallow. Of course I can’t figure out anything - I’m afraid that the one in my belly is only the size of a broad bean.
But after Qiuqiu's palm was pressed on, she felt a... very strange feeling.
She closed her eyes gently.
How do you feel in the palm of her hand?
Warm and soft, like the light and soft catkins in late spring, gently rubbing against her palms. It felt warm and the palms felt a little itchy.
Qiuqiu's entire attention was focused on her hands. To be precise, it was focused on the palm of her hand.
The eyes were closed and the eyes were dim.
But Qiuqiu was a little surprised to find that it seemed a little bright in her palm.
That warm feeling seemed to be coming from this ball of light.
Qiuqiu felt curious in his heart, what is this ball of light? He had never seen it or felt it before.
This is?
Qiuqiu's heart moved, but she broke out from the quiet atmosphere just now, just like a person suddenly rising from the water surface from the quiet deep water. The pressure suddenly changed, and the deep and quiet environment disappeared like bubbles, the sound of the wind,
The voices of the human voices and all kinds of subtle and noisy sounds suddenly surged into my ears.
"Qiu'er?"
"I'm fine, mom, I was a little distracted just now."
That feeling shouldn't be distracted.
Qiuqiu looked at his palm and there was nothing unusual.
Then... what she felt and saw just now?
Qiuqiu's eyes fell on the abdomen of the scholar's wife again.
There is nothing strange there.
But when Qiuqiu looked there seriously, it seemed as if an invisible thread was pulling her gaze.
Is that ball of light...is it her younger brother or sister?
Why did I have such a sense just now?
Qiuqiu left the house and turned around and looked back.
This child...that pure and warm light.
If this was really sent by that child, would this child be the same as her and her younger sister in the future?
Qiuqiu was surprised by this speculation.
She half opened her mouth and looked at the door of the scholar's wife's room for a while.
This news is really hard to say whether it is good or bad. For other families, if children in their families have such sub-quality things, they will become extraordinary people in the future. Other families may think it is a great thing for smoke from the ancestral graves.
But for scholars and scholar ladies, this may not really be considered good news.
Of course, her guess may not be correct.
After all, she has no experience in this area, and this is the first time she has encountered a strange thing for the first time.
Yes, Shi'er should know.
Shi'er is playing chess with the scholar.
Qiuqiu's chess is not good, and he will lose every time. So Xiucai and Shi'er have a cup of tea and stare at the black and white pieces in front of him. In her opinion, it is a waste of time.
She poked her head at the door, but the scholar didn't even raise his head, and slowly put down a piece: "What's the matter?"
Qiuqiu whispered: "I have something to say to Shi'er."
The scholar looked up at her and said to Shi'er, "Then go and have a look." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support are my greatest motivation.
