Chapter 12: National United Front - Birth

Qi Xu looked at the man's face, which was sometimes conflicted and sometimes regretful, and she inexplicably felt that the expression was a little cute, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

After realizing it, he quickly pursed his lips and pretended to be calm, "Oh, it's okay, it was my own fault for not being vigilant enough."

Her answer made Jiang Hongyi frown, "I am also wrong. If I hadn't insisted on taking pictures, this wouldn't have happened."

Obviously Jiang Hongyi had no intention of clearing himself of the charges. This time he had a topic to explain and his language organization was relatively smooth.

Qi Xu stared at him and sighed: He is such a straight man, he wants to take 70% of the responsibility for everything.

"Well, can you listen to my advice next time?"

As a doctor of psychology, she certainly knew that his straightforwardness today was closely related to his living environment.

After all, the army is full of men who speak bluntly. If they are dissatisfied with something, they may even fight. This is the way men solve problems.

Therefore, if Qi Xu wants to communicate with him more smoothly, he must start by listening to the other party's opinions.

Jiang Hongyi looked up, met her eyes, and nodded decisively, "Yes."

He suddenly felt a little embarrassed and shifted his gaze to the bottle of medicine for the IV drip. "Got it."

Qi Xu saw through his embarrassment in a second. He wanted to laugh but couldn't, so he had to bite his lower lip lightly and try to restrain himself.

In her eyes, Jiang Hongyi now looked like a wilted puppy, making people want to stroke his fur.

In order to avoid rubbing Jiang Hongyi's short, fluffy head the next moment, Qi Xu closed his eyes and planned to rest.

As a result, she fell asleep again without realizing it. When she woke up again, the needle in her hand had been removed, and a Band-Aid wrapped in a cotton ball was placed on the needle hole.

Needless to say, she knew that it must have been Jiang Hongyi's doing.

"Eat something."

Jiang Hongyi spoke with a stern face, and began to lift the quilt at the end of the bed. He took out the porridge and dumplings he had bought earlier, both of which were packed in stainless steel lunch boxes.

When Qi Xu put them in her mouth, the porridge and dumplings were still warm. She didn't expect that such a rough man could have such a considerate side.

"You eat too."

"I've eaten it. I bought this especially for you."

Jiang Hongyi shook his head expressionlessly, motioning her to eat by herself, and continued to remain silent.

Well, don't expect to have a pleasant chat with this taciturn guy.

Qi Xu decisively gave up the idea of ​​continuing to chat with him and started to bury her head in her food. After such an experience, she not only consumed a lot of mental energy, but also had an empty stomach. She had to

Eat back the money.

About twenty minutes later, she wiped the remaining rice grains from the corner of her mouth with satisfaction and put away the two stainless steel lunch boxes.

"I should be fine. Can we go back now? I'm afraid it will be too late and make Grandpa worry."

After filling his stomach, Qi Xu felt that his body had recovered and he was full of energy, so he wanted to go back quickly.

Jiang Hongyi was still a little worried, so he went to ask the doctor about her physical condition, and then he took her out of the clinic with peace of mind.

The sun seemed to be even brighter the moment she went out, but the dazzling sunlight disappeared in a flash, as if it had never happened. The clouds then blocked the sun, making the sky dark.

No one noticed that after being exposed to the dazzling sunlight, Qi Xu's entire body seemed to be coated with a layer of gold. It only flashed for two seconds, and then her body returned to normal.

Jiang Hongyi was walking in front, and Qi Xu followed three or four steps behind him. The two of them walked one in front and one behind, and their big shadows and small shadows kept overlapping.

Fortunately, the clinic is not too far from the oxcart and it only takes about twenty minutes to walk there.

The sun hasn't set yet, it's probably around four o'clock, so if we go back we'll just be in time for dinner.

When she got home, Qi Xu saw Qi Hong waiting for her to come back outside the Jiang family's house, holding an old pipe in his hand and blowing smoke rings from his mouth.

"Grandpa, we're back."

Qi Xu walked quickly forward and greeted Qi Hong with a smile.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

When Qi Hong saw that she had returned safely, he stopped smoking, knocked the remaining tobacco in his old pipe on the ground, and walked inside with the stool.

Liang Jing heard the noise in the kitchen and wiped her hands on her apron. "Monkey and Xu Xu are back. We can eat soon."

After saying that, she turned around and went back to the kitchen to get busy. Qi Xu felt that there was nothing much to talk about between her and Jiang Hongyi, so she turned around and went into the kitchen without looking back.

Although Liang Jing had believed the rumors in the village before and thought that Qi Xu was a sneaky person, but now seeing Qi Xu helping out in the kitchen and working efficiently and effectively, it was completely different from the rumors.

His attitude softened a lot, "Xu Xu, what do you think of my kid?"

"Since you two have obtained your marriage certificate, you should treat each other well. Although the conditions on the island are not as good as our home, Monkey said it's not much worse."

"Monkey is a workaholic. Xuxu, you have to bear more responsibilities in the future. It would be best if we could have a big fat grandson next year."

"Don't worry, if you give birth to a child, Mom will definitely go to the island to help you take care of the child."

This series of words made Qi Xu more than a little embarrassed. She was still thinking about having children. Ahem, she and Jiang Hongyi were afraid that they would have to go their separate ways when they arrived at the island.

Although I thought so in my heart, I didn't answer like that. "Monkey? Mom, is this his nickname for Jiang Hongyi?"

"Haha, I get it, Mom. It's just that having a child isn't something I can achieve through my own efforts."

In the first sentence, Qi Xu was gossiping about Jiang Hongyi's nickname, and in the second sentence, he was putting eye drops in Liang Jing's eyes.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, Mom knows. I'll go give Monkey a lecture when I have time."

"Yes, Monkey is his nickname. You have no idea how naughty this kid was when he was little. He climbed up roofs to tear off tiles and climbed trees to pick fruits without missing a single one."

Qi Xu seemed to have piqued Liang Jing's interest, and she talked endlessly about the bad things Jiang Hongyi did when he was a child.

Dinner was prepared while the two of them were chatting with each other.

Today's dinner was quite sumptuous. Boiled beef was a rare dish in the village, so most of the dishes were meat-based: stir-fried pork with chili peppers, stir-fried pork with pickled mustard greens, stir-fried pork with loofah, etc.

There are even some shredded pork in the soup, which is so delicious.

In comparison, the dumpling soup she had made before instantly paled in comparison.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Qi Xu helped Liang Jing clean up the pots and pans, and was then pushed out of the kitchen with a smile. "Xu Xu, there's nothing for you to do in the kitchen anymore. Go to the bedroom quickly, silly child. Do you know that a good night is worth a thousand gold?"

Qi Xu was pushed into their new home in a daze. When she entered the house, she found that Jiang Hongyi was already there, but he was wearing shorts and wiping his hair.

The moment she entered the room, Jiang Hongyi's body stiffened. It took him about two or three seconds to react. He hurriedly walked to the bed, picked up the vest and put it on his head.

"What? Are you afraid that I'll eat you?"

Qi Xu blurted out the words without even thinking...
