Ning Xi went to her uncle's house with Ning Shaolan after dinner. They pushed the cart directly there, which was just the right time to digest the food. When they arrived, her uncle and aunt just came back from get off work.
"Oh, a distinguished guest has arrived. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person." Liu Chunmei glanced at Ning Xi, feeling a little unhappy.
The third child hasn't been home for several years, and Xiaoxi hasn't been coming here much recently. Is it because she did something wrong?
Ning Xi shamelessly took her arm and said, "Auntie, how did I become a distinguished guest? Isn't this my home anymore? I'll be so heartbroken. I was eagerly looking forward to bringing you some midnight snacks. Sigh~"
"Huh, who doesn't go home for a month or two?"
Isn’t it because you’re inducing labor every day that I’m so scared that I don’t dare to come anymore?
Although Ning Xi thought so in her heart, she didn't dare to say it directly, because it would not make sense and might even cause a long speech.
The old lady could go from wasting her parents’ good genes to leaving the couple lonely and helpless in their old age.
Ning Xi sighed and said tentatively, "Alas, it's spring now. Many children have caught colds and fevers recently, especially those who have just been born. Their resistance is weak, so they need to be taken care of more carefully."
This is true. The change of seasons is the peak season for colds and fevers.
Liu Chunmei didn't show any surprise and agreed, "I also heard from a few people at the restaurant today that winter is the best time to get pregnant, and give birth in late summer when the weather is neither too cold nor too hot, so you can suffer less."
It seems that the old lady really doesn't know that Mi Jiaojiao is going to give birth.
Since the third brother didn't say anything, Ning Xi didn't spread it around. After chatting for a while, she vaguely mentioned that the third brother never came back for the New Year.
It is also said that the situation is very good this year and the job market in the city is relatively less tight than before. Although it is only a little bit more relaxed, a few educated youth with more connections have returned to the city through recruitment.
"You..." Liu Chunmei opened her mouth but said nothing.
The main reason was that she didn't understand what Ning Xi meant by this.
Do you have any work that can help you find a way to get Ning Jiqiu back?
Liu Chunmei's eyes held a hint of hope, but it quickly faded. She said angrily, "Don't worry about him. Let him stay in the countryside for the rest of his life! He'll have enough to eat anyway."
After hearing this, Ning Xi knew that she had misunderstood.
She had thought about this, but she could bring Ning Jiqiu back alone, but it would be difficult to deal with Mi Jiaojiao. Not to mention the household registration, it was still unknown whether the Mi family would agree to let her come to the city.
Later, when she became pregnant, Ning Xi never mentioned this to the two of them.
"Last time I asked him to stay in the city, but he refused and insisted on going back. I pretended I had never given birth to this son. Now he might have given birth to a child for someone else."
Liu Chunmei's words were rather tactful.
She asked Ning Jiqiu to take Mi Jiaojiao to the hospital for a check-up. If she was not pregnant, she would divorce him, retire, give her job to Ning Jiqiu, and use her connections to get him back to the city.
Ning Jiqiu felt that he could not do such a thing, and it was even more impossible for him to abandon his wife. He flatly rejected his mother's proposal, and the two parted unhappily.
In his heart, Liu Chunmei has always been a straightforward, kind and loving mother. Compared with the taciturn Ning Zhisong, he and his brothers and brothers-in-law are closer to their mother among their parents.
He thought that his mother would understand him and happily accept Mi Jiaojiao, but he never expected her to say such heartless words, which made him angry and sad.
In the past few years, the mother and son have not even exchanged letters.
Ning Xi comforted her: "He didn't want to go back to the city last time, maybe he is willing now."
She has always encouraged her relatives and friends to continue studying and not abandon the knowledge learned from books. From the letter Ning Jiqiu wrote to her, it can be seen that he is eager for the opportunity to return to city life.
"How can we go back now? Can we abandon our wife and children? That would be a beast!"
It's been a few years now, and it's almost impossible to not have children.
When they had no children, Liu Chunmei wanted Ning Jiqiu to divorce and return to the city. In her heart, divorce was far less important than future.
Anyway, that family wants him to be a son-in-law and leave a descendant. After the divorce, she will give him some compensation, so it won't be a problem for the woman to find another one.
At that time, you can just say that Ning Jiqiu was dumped by the woman because he couldn't have children. The woman will get the money and won't lose face. What a good thing.
Liu Chunmei still had some resentment towards Mi Jiaojiao's family. Why couldn't she find someone in the brigade who knew her well and was much better than Ning Jiqiu?
Therefore, she held her breath. Unless Ning Jiqiu bowed to her, she would never take the initiative to contact him.
When Ning Xi heard Auntie guess that she was pregnant, it was easier for her to say the following words, "Auntie, Third Brother hasn't been back for a few years. I want to go see what's going on over there."
Ning Jiqiu might not necessarily tell Mi Jiaojiao about the conflict between him and Liu Chunmei. Telling him would not solve the problem but would only make things worse.
So Ning Xi thought that it was not right for her brothers and sisters of the Ning family not to go and see Mi Jiaojiao giving birth.
"If you want to go, just go by yourself. Why tell me? I won't go." Liu Chunmei saw Uncle Ning looking at her frequently, as if he had something to say, and glared at him fiercely.
"Don't even think about following me!" Liu Chunmei signaled with her eyes.
......
On the first weekend after agreeing to Yan Xueping's request, he arranged for people to come to Mingjiang and found a remote small courtyard for Ning Xi to receive diagnosis and treatment.
Ning Xi was very busy with one task every week. It was not until May Day that she took a few more days off and packed her bags to go to Province D to visit Ning Ji Qiu.
It happened that the Commerce Bureau was going to Province D to inspect the agricultural product supply issues on both sides, so Ning Xi took a ride with them, which greatly improved her safety.
Ning Jiqiu will come to pick her up after arriving at the station.
