Ever since Jiang Cheng's mother passed away and his father married a stepmother, he had always acted subserviently at home. After learning that he was to marry in place of his sister, he resolu...
"That's great! You've worked hard today!" Jiang Cheng took out some money and left it outside for future use, then put the rest away and hid it carefully.
"You're still working harder!" Song Tingzhi stood up and rubbed Jiang Cheng's shoulders. "I was thinking that once things settle down, I'll go to the mountains from time to time and hunt some game for the shop. You can do whatever you want with it!"
"You can also go visit your parents!" Jiang Cheng thought of Xu Sanniang and others in the village.
After the two chatted for a while and were about to eat, they heard someone knocking on the door.
After the two looked at each other, Song Tingzhi went to open the door.
"Hello, we live next door! We came to see you today!" The visitor was a pregnant young man, holding a box of pastries in his hand, and was supported by a young man beside him, presumably his husband.
"Hello! Please come in! My husband and I were supposed to visit you, but I didn't expect you to come first!" Jiang Cheng greeted them warmly, and when he saw that it was a pregnant boy, he became more careful.
Jiang Cheng carefully helped the young man in. His husband and Song Tingzhi nodded and greeted each other, and then followed her husband in.
"Please sit down!" Jiang Cheng poured water for them both.
"This is a snack I made myself. I'm giving it to you to try. Don't dislike it!" Fang Xi took the box in his hand to the table and handed it over.
"No, how could that be! I can't thank you enough!" Jiang Cheng took the things with a smile and said politely.
"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet! My name is Fang Xi, and this is my husband Fang Kun. We make snacks next door!" Fang Xi introduced herself and her husband to Jiang Cheng.
"My name is Jiang Cheng." Jiang Cheng pointed at Song Tingzhi and said, "This is my husband, Song Tingzhi. He used to be a hunter. I was worried about his safety, so I asked him to accompany me to do some small business!"
After both parties introduced their names, Jiang Cheng looked at Fang Xi's slightly bulging belly and felt a little jealous.
"How many months have you been pregnant?" Jiang Cheng asked, looking at Fang Xi's belly.
"It's almost five months!" Fang Xi touched her belly with a loving face.
"That's great! Looking at you, I know that you will be a blessed child!" Jiang Cheng said, looking at Fang Xi's chubby little face.
"Brother Kun recently told me that I ate too much, so I gained weight!" Fang Xi understood the subtext of Jiang Cheng's words and said embarrassedly.
Fang Xi said this and glared at Fang Kun!
"Being able to eat is a blessing! Giving birth is the gate of hell for our brother! You have to be careful!" Jiang Cheng didn't think it was a big deal. Being chubby during pregnancy means that your husband treats you well!
"Alas, I have never stopped talking since I became pregnant with him. I eat a lot every day, but I don't have any of the normal pregnancy reactions!" Fang Xike became excited when talking about the child and told Jiang Cheng about her usual situation.
Jiang Cheng was very excited after hearing this and kept agreeing with him.
The two grown men saw them chatting animatedly and quietly left.
"Xiao Xi talks a lot, don't mind it!" Fang Kun knew what her husband was like when he chatted, so she greeted Song Tingzhi.
"It's okay. We just arrived in town and don't know anyone. It would be good for Chengcheng to have someone to talk to. Please take care of her on weekdays!"
Song Tingzhi felt that it would be nice to have someone to talk to Jiang Cheng. He had just moved to the town and didn't know anyone, so it would save him from being bored!
Fang Xi talked a lot with Jiang Cheng. After learning that Jiang Cheng and Song Tingzhi had been married for almost a year and still had no children, Fang Xi understood Jiang Cheng's anxiety.
"Don't be impatient with this child. Just let nature take its course!" Fang Xi held Jiang Cheng's hand and comforted him.
"It would be great if it were true. My health wasn't very good before. The doctor said I wasn't suitable for pregnancy then. It took me a while to recover in the past year." Jiang Cheng said dejectedly.
"That's right, take care of your health first! Don't look at me like this, Brother Kun and I have been married for more than a year before we had this child!" Fang Xi comforted.
"Really?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"Yes, how could I lie to you? It's okay! Just let nature take its course!" Fang Xi said affirmatively.
Jiang Cheng felt much better after being comforted by Fang Xi. The two talked for a while. Fang Xi felt that it was enough and wanted to go back with Fang Kun.
At this time, Song Tingzhi came in and said that the meal was ready. Jiang Cheng thought it was perfect and wanted them to eat here.
Fang Xi originally wanted to leave, but couldn't resist Jiang Cheng's enthusiasm, so he stayed and had a meal with Fang Kun.
After they finished eating, Fang Xi and the other guy said goodbye and went back. After they left, Jiang Cheng soaked the beans and waited to cook them tomorrow.
Business was good on the first day, which gave Jiang Cheng great confidence. On the second day, although business was not as good as the first day, it was still pretty good.
Jiang Cheng didn't feel disappointed at all, and he calmed down and continued to receive guests.
After a few days, the business gradually stabilized, and Jiang Cheng also knew approximately how much he could sell in a day. Fang Xi came to talk to Jiang Cheng from time to time, so the days in the town were not boring.
When Song Qian returned home, Jiang Cheng and the others also planned to go back.
Jiang Cheng hung up the curtains covering the door one day in advance, packed up his things, and took Xiao Hui back with him.
Jiang Cheng talked to Fang Xi and asked him to help take care of his shop.
The next day, Song Tingzhi went to Mingyue Lane to pick up Song Qian, and then took Song Qian to see the newly purchased shop. After Song Qian finished looking at it, he took her home.
Xu Sanniang knew that the children would all be back today, so she waited at the door early, holding Song Yu's hand as he tried to run out.
"Why are you so anxious?!" Xu Sanniang said to Song Yu, but she didn't know who she was talking about!
"Mom, I miss Xiaohui!" Song Yu said coquettishly to Xu Sanniang.
For Song Yu, the person he missed most during the ten days that Song Tingzhi and the others were away was Xiao Hui!
"I'm back! I'm back!" After Xu Sanniang saw the donkey cart from her family coming from afar, she left Song Yu behind and went forward to meet it.
After Song Yu was abandoned by his mother, he saw Xiao Hui and ran forward while calling Xiao Hui.
Poor Song Tao was abandoned by his wife and children and could only walk slowly forward alone.
Xiao Hui, who was in Song Qian's arms at first, pricked up his ears when he heard Song Yu calling, looked around a few times, then jumped out of the car swiftly and ran towards Song Yu.
The man and the wolf hugged each other reluctantly, as if they were parting forever.
"You're back!" Xu Sanniang helped Jiang Cheng and Song Qian down and talked to them as they walked.
Song Tingzhi looked at Xu Sanniang who completely ignored him, and could only follow them and drive the donkey cart.
After seeing Song Tao, Song Tingzhi got out of the car and walked with him. The father and son were left behind, how pitiful!
