Chapter 159 Added

Xu Qingmeng's heart seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand, and all the past events played out in her mind like a slide show.

The helplessness and sadness when I first came to this world, and the little warmth and excitement after Gu Yunyi's attitude changed.

She felt like she had been wandering in a foggy forest for a long time, and finally saw a bright light. That light was Gu Yunyi's eyes, which were now full of affection.

"Um!"

The woman in his arms responded softly.

The sound was very small, as if it had not been made at all, as if he was just hallucinating, but it was clearly echoing in his ears.

Gu Yunyi was ecstatic, but he couldn't help himself. Fearing that he had heard it wrong, he asked again, "Madam, did you really agree?"

Xu Qingmeng's face was already red, and when he asked her this, her face turned even redder. She slapped him and said unhappily, "Forget it if you didn't hear it."

Gu Yunyi was delighted, then he lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, saying, "I heard it, I heard it, I heard it."

Gu Yunyi was about to say something when his stomach suddenly moved.

It was also the first time that Xu Qingmeng felt that Gu Yunyi had frozen, with his hand on her slightly bulging belly, motionless.

Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi just quietly felt the wonderful movements coming from their stomachs.

It was a brand new experience, as if life was silently announcing its existence.

It took a long time for Gu Yunyi to come back to his senses, his eyes full of surprise and awe.

"This is our child moving!" Gu Yunyi's voice trembled a little. He had never been so deeply moved.

Gu Yunyi looked at her seriously and said carefully, "My lady, just wait. I will try my best to get you the top spot again this time."

Why? Are you going to give her a new gift after winning the lottery?

Xu Qingmeng was suddenly amused by her own thoughts, and looked at him condescendingly with her neck held high: "That's what you said. If I don't get the top spot, I won't agree."

Gu Yunyi's face drooped immediately: "Well...how about the top three?"

"snort!"

You are responsible for the consequences of your own talk.

Xu Qingmeng stood up: "Hurry up and lie down and rest. I'll go wash up."

This time Gu Yunyi did not stop her. Instead, he adjusted his posture, lay on the outside, and just looked at her.

Xu Qingmeng walked to the washbasin, splashed cold water on her hot face, looked at herself in the mirror, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.

She stroked her slightly bulging belly, her heart full of longing for the future.

Gu Yunyi lay on the bed, his eyes never leaving Xu Qingmeng's back.

He was thinking about the upcoming imperial examination, and his heart was full of fighting spirit. This time it was not only for his own future, but also for a better future for Xu Qingmeng and the child.

He knew very well that only by making achievements in his career could he allow his family to live a stable and prosperous life!

Gu Yunyi was motivated and more energetic.

He got up early the next morning and started cleaning the yard. Only after he had cleaned up the mess in the yard did Xu Qingmeng get up.

When Xu Qing woke up from his dream, Gu Yunyi had already prepared breakfast, including rice porridge, steamed buns, a cold dish prepared by Fang Ziheng, and the salted duck eggs that Gu Yunyi bought from outside.

Gu Yunyi liked it in the first place. When he was at home, he would eat it with porridge every morning and he never got tired of it. So when he came to the capital, it became a standard dish on their dinner table.

Gu Yunyi was still quite picky, and he said to Xu Qingmeng in private: "Qingqing, your cooking is still the best."

Xu Qingmeng agreed and went back to pickle another jar as the stock at home was almost ready.

After breakfast, Xu Qingmeng and Hui Niang prepared to set up the stall. When Xu Qingmeng woke up, Hui Niang had already prepared all the ingredients.

I don’t know if it’s because the two of them didn’t set up their stall yesterday, but there were a lot of people buying cold dishes today. Some regular customers even complained about why they didn’t come yesterday.

Xu Qingmeng and Hui Niang could only smile and say that Xu Qingmeng had a stomachache yesterday and that was why she was unable to set up the stall.

When everyone heard this, they all became concerned about Xu Qingmeng's condition. After all, her health was more important.

Xu Qingmeng and Hui Niang always felt guilty facing everyone's concern. They had clearly had a great meal at home last night, so there was no way they had stomach discomfort!

It was almost sold out, probably only about one pound left, and the customer happened to be a regular, so he bought it all at once.

While Xu Qingmeng was mixing the peppers, he couldn't help but ask, "Your sauce is so delicious, do you sell it?"

Xu Qingmeng had actually thought about it, but she didn't have a shop, and her current health couldn't afford to cook too much. Although this stall couldn't be run without Xu Qingmeng, she still understood that these ingredients were usually prepared by Hui Niang.

Firstly, Xu Qingmeng was pregnant, and she and Gu Yunyi were not in great need of money; secondly, Hui Niang felt that she was taking advantage of the two of them, so it was natural for her to do more.

Xu Qingmeng actually tried to persuade her, but Hui Niang remained firm, so she had no choice but to give up and let her be.

But now that someone asked, Xu Qingmeng did not give any perfunctory answers and spoke frankly about her health, so she had to give up. When the man heard this, he felt very sorry.

After selling this last one, I prepared to go back.

As soon as the two men pushed the cart to the gate of the yard, they heard a woman crying in the yard. They looked at each other and quickly pushed the cart inside.

Sun Jingyi's hair was disheveled and messy as she sat on the ground in their yard crying. Jiang Mingyu just stood there, feeling helpless and a little anxious, but not knowing what to say.

Gu Yunyi and his companions were also a few steps away, and several grown men stood aside with helpless looks on their faces.

Xu Qingmeng frowned. Last time she was persuaded to move, she refused. Then she didn't come for several days. Yesterday when Gu Yunyi went to call them for dinner, they didn't come either.

Xu Qingmeng originally thought that the two families had talked it out and were getting along well.

But looking at the situation now, it seems that this is not a good adjustment, but has made things worse.

When Jiang Mingyu saw Xu Qingmeng coming back, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Sister-in-law, please help persuade her. My wife insists on going back, and I really have no choice."

Xu Qingmeng remained calm, exchanged a glance with Hui Niang, and gestured to help Sun Jingyi, who was sitting on the ground, up first. Hui Niang understood what he meant and hurried forward.

Xu Qingmeng followed closely behind: "Sister-in-law, stop crying and get up quickly. The ground is cold."

"Yeah! Girl, get up."

Sun Jingyi lowered her head, tears still falling, but she listened to the advice. Hui Niang pulled her to sit on the stone bench.

Xu Qingmeng looked at Jiang Mingyu again and asked, "What's going on? We haven't even taken the exam yet, why do we have to go back to Cheng County?"

The child is sick, so the update is a little late!
