"Then go and worship quietly and don't let anyone see you." Ruan Qiqi joked.
Now that we are getting rid of feudal superstitions, we can no longer worship openly.
"I know. I'm leaving!"
Xia Tao thought about it and decided to go find a temple right away, and left in a hurry.
When she reached the door, she turned back and asked, "When are you giving birth?"
"Next month, your red envelopes should be ready!"
"You won't let me play with the cub you gave birth to, no!"
Xia Tao snorted and ran away like the wind.
Bai Fengshou parked the car downstairs and took out a bag of things from his backpack. They were small clothes and sweaters made by his mother and sister for Ruan Qiqi's children.
He had just reached the entrance of the corridor when a gust of wind blew past him. He could only vaguely feel that it was a woman, but he could not see her face clearly because she ran too fast.
Bai Fengshou didn't care and prepared to go upstairs with his bag. Then another gust of wind came back and stopped in front of him.
It’s Xia Tao.
She would despise this bastard every time she saw him, otherwise she would not be willing to give in.
"snort!"
Xia Tao snorted coldly, particularly loudly, then raised her head and walked away arrogantly.
Bai Fengshou touched his nose. He really couldn't understand why this girl was so dissatisfied with him and always snorted every time they met.
"Comrade Xia, be careful, there's a pile of dog shit over there!"
Bai Fengshou kindly reminded him that what he saw when he parked the car just now was that Xia Tao had her head raised so high that she probably couldn't see it.
But his reminder was a little late. Xia Tao stepped on some fresh dog shit, which got all over the sole of her shoe.
"grass!"
Xia Tao cursed. Damn it, she and Bai Fengshou were absolutely incompatible, and nothing good happened every time she met him.
Could it be that she wiped out this man's entire family in her previous life, and that's why he's harming her in this life?
"I warned you."
Bai Fengshou's voice became smaller and smaller in Xia Tao's murderous eyes, and finally it was almost inaudible. He didn't dare to stay downstairs anymore and hurried upstairs.
Xia Tao ran to the grass by the roadside, wiped the dog shit off the soles of her shoes, and went to find a temple while cursing.
"Qiqi, let me ask you something. How did I offend your friend Xia Tao? Every time she sees me, she looks like she wants to kill someone."
Bai Fengshou couldn't help it any longer and humbly asked Ruan Qiqi for advice.
"She does this to all men, not to you."
Ruan Qiqi didn't think much about it, and carefully admired the small clothes made by Bai Huanxi and her daughter. They were very delicate and beautiful, and even embroidered with flowers. She was reluctant to let her baby wear them.
"Is she like this to other men too?" Bai Fengshou asked curiously.
"Well, she hates men. When you see her next time, just stay three meters away."
Ruan Qiqi taught him a method, and Bai Fengshou kept it in mind.
“Who embroidered these flowers?”
Ruan Qiqi pointed at the lifelike pomegranate on the small clothes and asked.
"She likes to embroider. She has been learning embroidery from my grandmother since she was young, and she is quite good at it." Bai Fengshou said with a smile.
Since childhood, his grandmother taught him and his sister various skills, teaching him to make antiques and to appraise, and teaching his sister to embroider and keep accounts.
"It's more than good. This skill is good enough to be employed in a factory. Huanxi, you're not engaged, right?"
Ruan Qiqi also had a good impression of Bai Huanxi, a forthright and generous girl with a personality similar to Ruan Xiaoxue.
"No, I want to wait until we are stable and then bring Huanxi to live in the city. With our family background, Huanxi won't be able to find a suitable person in the countryside."
Bai Fengshou told him his plan. Instead of finding a bad man to ruin his sister, it would be better for her to stay single for the rest of her life and he would support her.
"The countryside is really not suitable. Let her live in the city. Your current salary is not bad, so it's no problem to support one more person."
Ruan Qiqi agreed very much. Given Bai Huanxi's status, she could only marry a lower-class woman in the countryside. It would be better for her not to marry at all.
Moreover, Bai Fengshou is now highly valued by antique shops. The counterfeits he makes are very popular among foreigners and are the most sold items in antique shops.
Since the American president visited China in the spring, there have been many more foreigners in Tanzhou City, and the business of the antique shops has also improved a lot. Foreigners like Chinese antiques, especially porcelain and silk.
Bai Fengshou is best at making porcelain look old. His technique is becoming more and more sophisticated and he can now handle it on his own.
With Ruan Qiqi's support, Bai Fengshou became more determined and planned to go back to his hometown and bring his sister over next time he had a break.
*******
At the end of July, Ruan Qiqi was getting closer to her due date. Lu Ye and Lu Desheng were extremely nervous and asked her a hundred questions a day, which made her annoyed.
Guan Zhihua also made a lot of small clothes. Compared with the nervousness of others, she was very calm. She told Ruan Qiqi not to be nervous, just eat when she was supposed to and sleep when she was supposed to, and that everything would fall naturally when it was ripe.
"I'm not nervous, they are!"
Ruan Qiqi was really not nervous. She could have a caesarean section now, so she would just do it if it really didn't work.
"My little Li is very experienced in taking care of confinement women. Let her take care of her when the time comes. I have already made an agreement with her." Guan Zhihua said kindly.
She wanted to take care of him herself, but her body couldn't handle it, so she asked Aunt Li to go, and it had already been agreed.
"Okay, I won't be polite with you."
Ruan Qiqi agreed. She really needed someone with experience to take care of her. Lu Ye had no experience and Ruan Shuangjiang was too busy. It would be better to ask Aunt Li to take care of her than to ask an outsider. She would give her a big red envelope when the time comes.
"Why be polite to one another? When the baby is born, you have to call me grandma!"
Guan Zhihua's tone was very intimate. She had already regarded Lu Ye and Ruan Qiqi as her own children.
"That would be great. I can receive a lot of red envelopes during festivals." Ruan Qiqi joked.
"Haha, you and Xiaoye also got red envelopes, just like Manzai."
Guan Zhihua smiled with her eyes curved. She was in good health now and could live another 20 years without any problem. She could even see the little one grow up.
August passed quickly. Ruan Qiqi hardly went out all summer. Even when she took a walk, she went to the space because it was too hot outside. Finally, it was late August, and there was still a week before the due date.
Breakfast was the white porridge and buns that Lu Ye brought back. Ruan Qiqi had a good appetite, so she ate a bowl of porridge, three meat buns, and was also preparing to eat an apple.
"Click"
Just after taking a big bite, Ruan Qiqi felt her stomach as if it was pulled and her lower back felt a little sore, but she didn't care and continued to chew. Then a hot stream gushed out, like urine.
"Go take that bag and go to the hospital later."
Ruan Qiqi continued to eat the apple calmly, not in a hurry to give birth to a cub after she finished eating the apple.
"Is it time for another prenatal checkup?"
Lu Ye hadn't reacted yet, but he obediently went to get his bag. When he picked up the bag, he came to his senses and asked in shock, "Qiqi, are you going to give birth?"
"Well, why are you in such a hurry? Wait until I finish eating the apple!"
Ruan Qiqi rolled her eyes and shouted loudly, not calm at all.
Lu Ye let out a sharp roar. How could he not panic? His cub was about to come out!
He rushed out in a hurry carrying the production bag he had prepared in advance. In order to save time, he did not take the right path and jumped directly from the third floor.
Everyone in the corridor was stunned. It had been a long time since they saw Mr. Lu go crazy. What had stimulated him this time?
