Tian Ge was pushed into the river. His thin summer clothes, soaked through, clung to his skin, revealing his excessively slender body. Wang Zhu, the village idiot, loudly declared in front of the v...
Chapter 55 Chapter 55 should be called...
Bai Qingquan kept his promise, and at least after Tian Ge and the others returned to the village, no strange people appeared.
Tian Youcai was indeed seriously ill, and the doctor sent by Bai Qingquan also left halfway.
But it's not yet a serious condition.
When Qin Xiong was in Haicheng County, he contacted Doctor Chen and quickly brought the person over to treat Tian Youcai.
"You won't have two years left. Just live your life to the fullest. Everyone will die one day." Doctor Chen said to Tian Ge and the others in the yard.
Halfway through the year, Tian Ge and Qin Xiong discussed and made an important decision.
He used his meager savings to rent a yard in the county and invited Tian's father to live with him.
Tian Youcai agreed readily.
Tian Ge was his most beloved youngest son. When he knew that Tian Ge was pregnant, Tian Youcai was happy from the bottom of his heart.
His last wish was to see Tian Ge’s child being born, so that he could give an explanation to Tian Ge’s mother after he passed away.
The heat of midsummer.
In the afternoon, Tian Ge carried a lunch box and went to the grocery store.
From a distance, he saw Qin Xiong coming out to pick him up.
-----Mung bean soup.
Tian Ge raised the food box in his hand and smiled.
He is now more than six months pregnant, and his originally flat belly has bulged into a round shape.
But compared with other pregnant men, his belly is not exaggerated, and it can't be seen if he wears loose clothes.
Qin Xiong put his arm around his shoulders as they walked into the store. He wiped Tian Ge's forehead, which was covered in sweat. "Next time, tell me in advance and I'll just go back. It's too hot today."
Tian Ge responded with a smile.
"Boss Tian, I'm here to deliver food to your house?" Someone from the shop next door greeted Tian Ge.
There used to be a restaurant next door that served food, but later the owner changed and the new owner was a butcher who specialized in selling meat.
This made it convenient for them to make buns, and they no longer had to run several blocks to buy pork.
The boss is also a very honest person. Because he has been doing business for a long time, he sells meat to them at a lower price than the market price.
Tian Ge walked up and gave the boss a bowl of mung bean soup.
The butcher was young and talkative. Tian Ge gestured and sometimes they would talk about irrelevant things but could still stand and chat for a long time.
Before leaving, the boss gave them a piece of pork kidney and asked them to fry it when they got home.
"You were so happy chatting with other people that you left me aside." Qin Xiong felt unhappy when he entered the store.
Tian Ge smiled and ignored it. He was already immune to hearing such words.
He found two bowls.
Cook the mung beans until they are soft, sprinkle them with sugar, and place them in well water to cool down before taking them out.
The street outside was sweltering with heat, and there were hardly two pedestrians.
Zhou is not here. She must have gone to Qianduo store to help.
They brought back creams, perfumes, etc. and sold them in Qianduo store, splitting the profits 40% to 60%, with Qianduo making 40% and them making 60%.
Qian Duo is very capable. Things with a cost price of only a dozen or twenty wen can be packaged by him and sold for hundreds of wen, which can be considered a huge profit.
The small shop's main business became breakfast, and it also sold some groceries.
Tian Ge sat on a small stool, her elbows resting on her knees, drinking mung bean soup from a bowl, her eyes following Qin Xiong.
It was hot in the summer, and Qin Xiong wore a very cool thin jacket. Two red dots could be vaguely seen inside, and his black silk pants made his legs look straight.
The doctor said that they could have sex now.
It is difficult to ignore such a real gaze.
Qin Xiong had a smile on his lips. He drank his bowl of mung bean soup in two gulps, walked out, took the signboard into the house, and closed the door.
The room suddenly became dark.
"There's no business at noon, so I'll accompany you for a lunch break." Qin Xiong said, pulling Tian Ge's hand and walking to the small compartment at the back of the store.
Since renting a yard in the county town, Zhou also moved there.
The small compartment at the back was left empty, but bedding was still placed in it for them to take an occasional nap.
When he was hugged and lying down, Tian Ge gently pushed the person who was lying on him, and there was still a sweet taste of mung bean soup in his mouth.
He blinked.
-----Didn’t we say we’d have lunch break?
Qin Xiong said nothing, but just smiled and took the hand that was supporting his chest, kissed the palm of her hand, and then kissed Tian Ge on the mouth.
.....
Later in the afternoon, Qin Xiong wanted to send Tian Ge home first.
It just so happened that Zhou came back.
"Hey, Qin Xiong, why is your mouth sore?" Zhou has become thinner these days, but she looks much more energetic than before. After receiving her monthly salary, she bought new clothes and put on makeup every day. Recently, a man from the city has been pursuing her.
"You take care of the store, I'll come back later." Qin Xiong said.
"Okay, Xiaoge'er, these are the lychees Qianduo brought for you. They're freshly picked."
Qin Xiong took the basket, then turned and left with Tian Ge.
Zhou looked at him a few more times from behind and smoothed the loose hair on his temples behind his ears.
She rejected another person yesterday.
She cherishes her current life too much and is already very satisfied, but when she sees others happy, she still feels a little envious.
——
The courtyard they rented was near Qinbao School, making it convenient for Xiaobao to go home at any time.
There are two large osmanthus trees in the yard. When it is hot, you can put a chair under them to cool down. When the osmanthus flowers bloom in autumn, they will definitely smell fragrant.
This is also the reason why Tian Ge finally decided on this house.
There are three rooms in total. Tian Ge and his friends sleep in the main room, Tian Youcai sleeps in the east wing, Qin Bao sleeps in the west wing, and Zhou sleeps in the small room behind the kitchen.
Tian Ge has already saved some money, thinking of buying this yard in the future.
Open the door.
The yard is bustling with activity.
The children from the neighborhood were surrounding Tian Youcai, watching him fold all kinds of small gadgets out of rice dumplings leaves.
"Are you back?" Tian Youcai greeted them while sitting on a wooden chair.
Qin Bao had just returned and was drawing water from the well. When he saw them come in, he hurried over to greet them.
"What's delicious?"
"You only know how to eat." Qin Xiong said bluntly.
Qin Bao took away a basket of lychees and chatted with a smile.
It was also Qin Xiong himself who would come back from closing the store every day, look for food on the way, and bring a midnight snack for Tian Ge, and naturally bring one for Qin Bao as well.
As a result, every time Qin Xiong comes home, Qin Bao's eyes light up.
It was time for dinner, and the aroma of food from each household wafted into the yard.
Qin Xiong rolled up his sleeves, washed the rice and steamed it first.
Tian Ge followed him around in the kitchen, and when Qin Xiong was standing there cutting vegetables, she reached into his clothes and touched his sturdy waist.
Qin Xiong was very hot-tempered and his whole body was hot, especially in the summer, as if it was hot to the touch.
Moving from the back to the waist, grabbing the stomach twice, Tian Ge pressed her stomach against Qin Xiong's back.
Qin Xiong was cutting meat with his hands, standing very still, just smiling the whole time.
Just now in the store, we didn't do it to the end, but just kissed and touched a few times to satisfy our cravings.
Tian Ge was dissatisfied and bit his lip until it was broken.
"I'll deal with you tonight." Qin Xiong said calmly, put the shredded meat on the chopping board into a bowl, and marinated it with salt and potato starch.
Ever since Tian Ge became pregnant, she has had severe pregnancy reactions in the early stages.
Qin Xiong's cooking skills have also made a qualitative leap under Tian Ge's guidance.
Tian Ge smiled. He was not afraid now. No matter how harshly Qin Xiong spoke, he would not do anything to him.
He pushed it up a few times, and when he tried to pull it down, his hand was finally caught.
Qin Xiong turned around and pretended to be serious, but it took less than two seconds for him to break down. "Let me see, why are you so shameless now? What's going on? Did someone switch my husband?"
Tian Ge smiled somewhat wildly. Pregnancy made him look rounder, and his face was white with a rosy glow, like a white pearl that looked even brighter and more charming after the dust on its surface was wiped off.
Qin Xiong leaned over and kissed him, "Look at what you've done. Don't bother me anymore. Go out and talk to Dad for a while. I'll call you when dinner is ready."
Tian Ge was not the only one who suffered.
Qin Xiong's pants had been stretched into an awkward arc, and summer pants were thin, so they couldn't cover anything.
-----I'll make it up to you tonight.
After teasing, Tian Ge left the kitchen without any burden. She sweated profusely on her forehead and went to talk to her father.
Qin Xiong shook his head helplessly and turned back to continue cutting vegetables.
Busy, dull, peaceful.
I can’t say I’m rich, but I have no problem with three meals a day.
The business partnership with Qian Duo is very good and will continue in the future. The next batch of goods is already on the way. Qin Xiong asked Wu Ping'an to join the fleet and go in his place.
Qin Bao has always been a good student. After successfully passing the county and prefectural examinations, he is now preparing for the academy examination two years later.
Tian Ge is in good health, and Qin Xiong can feel that after many things have happened, Tian Ge has become closer and more trusting of him, which is naturally what he wants.
The only thing I’m worried about is Tian Ge giving birth in a few months.
He had already inquired about the best midwife in the county and wrote a letter to hire Doctor Chen to make another trip.
Maybe he was too anxious and talked in his sleep, which led to Tian Ge, a pregnant husband, comforting him.
Qin Xiong felt a sudden throbbing and sensation in his heart many times.
His life now can be considered happy.
over.
