It was snowing outside at night, and the strong wind was whistling outside the window. Fortunately, it was warm inside the house, and there was no need for everyone to go out unless there was something important. Cao Xiangnan carefully helped the person out of the bathroom and went back to their room.
The little white fox curled up on the sofa heard the sound, raised its eyelids, and closed them again.
After this, Cao Xiangnan knew that Wanfeng was about to give birth, and he was more nervous than someone who was about to give birth.
Hua Ama stayed with him, and Hua Ama also told him carefully some things that needed attention, so now he is getting more and more nervous. In other words, whether Hua Ama is there or not, his nervousness is difficult to control after this, and he will always have it.
"I want to sit for a while." After returning to the room, Qi Wanfeng didn't want to lie down immediately, lying down was uncomfortable, he just wanted to sit for a while, it would be more comfortable.
"Okay, is this more comfortable?" Cao Xiangnan carefully helped him sit against the head of the bed, put a pillow behind his back, and covered him with a quilt, fearing that he would catch a cold. Seeing Qi Wanfeng reaching out to touch his belly, he put his hand on it, helping him to soothe the little rascal in his belly, and asked, "Did this little guy bother you again?"
Qi Wanfeng saw the worry on her husband's face, she was happy but also a little guilty, thinking that it was him who made her husband worry about him so much and hang around him all day. He grabbed her husband's hand on his belly and said, "It's okay, I'm fine, and the baby is very well behaved."
"What are you thinking about, you little head? You will be fine as long as I am here." The oil lamp on the table gave off a dim light, enough for them to see each other's expressions. Cao Xiangnan moved over and kissed the person in front of him on the lips.
It seemed that this intimate little gesture between the two of them could soothe his heart. He urgently needed to confirm the existence of this person in this way.
The kiss went from shallow to deep, step by step, lips and tongues intertwined, and at the end of the kiss, both of them were not breathing well. But at this time, Cao Xiangnan had no intention of taking a step closer. He stroked the back of the person in his arms again and again to soothe his emotions.
"...You must be fine." In the dim light, Cao Xiangnan looked seriously into the eyes of Qi Wanfeng in front of him. Their faces were less than a palm's distance away, and they just looked at each other like this.
"Yeah." Qi Wanfeng nodded and promised, "I'll be fine, I promise."
The two leaned against each other, and Cao Xiangnan stretched out his hand to hold the person in his arms. The two sat together like this for a while. Seeing Qi Wanfeng yawning with his hands covering his mouth, he knew that the person was sleepy. He carefully helped the person to lie down, and then he lay down. If
there was any movement in the night, he would definitely be the first one to wake up. Only when the person in his arms was sleeping soundly, he could also sleep for a while.
This night, it was snowing outside, and the people in the house lay in the warm house, hugging each other and sleeping. It snowed overnight, and the cleared road was covered with snow again. In the morning, it was still snowing outside.
Cao Xiangnan got up early to make breakfast. When he got up, the person in the bed was still asleep. In the second half of the night, the person woke up again and fell asleep at dawn. If nothing unexpected happened, he could sleep for a while.
Hua A-ma also got up early in the morning. Seeing that he was working, she came to help. Cao Xiangnan didn't want Hua A-ma to help him.
"Hey, don't make me sit there doing nothing, I'm just a person who can't sit still." Hua A'mo herself was unhappy, and even Cao Xiangnan couldn't do anything about her. "I seldom see men get up so early to cook. This is the first time I've seen someone like you."
After saying that, Hua A'mo was very satisfied with the man. "Well, this is a good wife. You have to have her. This is the person who will accompany you for the rest of your life."
"Yes, if I don't treat the person who will accompany you for the rest of your life well, who else can I treat well?" After washing the rice and putting water in the pot, A'mo helped to light the fire on the stove. Cao Xiangnan put the pot down and listened to Hua A'mo chatting.
When he was about to go out, Cao Xiangnan did not let Hua A-mo follow him, but only let him stay in the house to watch the porridge cooking on the stove, and then he went out.
Hua A-mo sat on a small stool, warming herself by the fire, helping to watch the porridge, and when she saw a half-grown boy opening the door and coming out, she called him "A-mo" obediently, and then opened the door and went out.
He heard the child calling the boss who invited him as uncle, and he knew that he was not the boss's biological child. There are many children in this family, and probably only the fair-skinned boy is the boss's child.
These days, it is rare for a family to be willing to spend that money to raise a child for someone else. The man in this family is a kind-hearted person, and he is also considerate of his wife. He got up early in the morning and was the first to make breakfast, and his wife was still sleeping in the house and hadn't woken up yet.
Everyone in the room got up one after another. Aning and the children all got up, but no sound was heard in his room. Cao Xiangnan knew that people were still sleeping in the room. "You sit here and write obediently. Don't talk loudly." He reminded the children, fearing that the children would wake up the people who finally fell asleep.
It was still snowing outside today, and the children didn't have to go to the academy. Knowing that their mother/mom was sleeping, the children who got up didn't dare to make a noise and sat obediently on the small stool in the living room to write.
Two baskets of big meat buns were steaming in the small kitchen. There was also fresh pork at home. Thinking that everyone had eaten steamed bread for so long and hadn't eaten meat buns, Cao Xiangnan spent some time chopping the meat stuffing, mixing the stuffing, and making big meat buns.
A few high flames were put into the stove, and the buns in the basket were quickly cooked. A strong meaty aroma emanated, and the smell became even stronger when the lid was opened.
"Here, be careful not to burn it, take it back first." Cao Xiangnan picked up a plate of buns and asked Xiangzi, who was following behind, to take it in. He also took out another basket, picked up a basket of meat buns, and carried it to Cao Gang.
It was unknown when the snow outside stopped, so he didn't need to hold an umbrella when he went out.
He carried the buns to the opposite side, and Cao Gang came to open the door. He handed the basket to Cao Gang. Cao Gang asked him to go in and sit down, and hurried home. Cao Xiangnan did not go in, and went back home after delivering the things.
Breakfast was served at home. Aning made egg porridge for the children with a little salt. Each child had a bowl. Hua A-ma didn't want it. There were also meat buns and hot and sour pickles on the table. They smelled very fragrant.
After eating two meals at Dong's house, Hua A-ma knew that the food here was definitely the best among all the other people's houses she had eaten. It's not that the food was precious, but that it tasted good and was very rare.
"This dish smells really good." Even without eating it, he could smell it.
"Well, try it with chopsticks. It tastes good. I usually like this." Aning picked up a pair of chopsticks and passed it over, saying.
Grandma Hua took the chopsticks and put a little into her mouth without hesitation. The taste... He squinted his eyes. It was sour and spicy, and very refreshing. He had never eaten such delicious pickles before. "Hmm, delicious, really delicious."
When Cao Xiangnan entered the house, he just heard Hua A-ma saying that the pickled vegetables were delicious. He closed the door and said, "This is a homemade dish. Hua A-ma likes it. We still have some at home. When you leave, I will pack a jar for you to take away." There were
still a lot of pickled vegetables at home, all for their own consumption. However, there were some vegetables in the shed at home and mushrooms were also planted, so the family didn't eat these pickled vegetables much. After all , it's not good to eat too much of these pickled things. Cao Xiangnan didn't plan to let the family eat too much of these things when there were fresh ones to eat.
"Oh, how can I be so embarrassed." Although she refused, Hua A-ma's face was full of smiles. In her heart, she thought that she had come all the way to Caojia Village, and even if the host didn't give her a red envelope, she would be happy to give her a jar of pickled vegetables.
By now breakfast was ready, and the children had all come to the back. When An An saw his father coming in, he rubbed against his father for a hug. Cao Xiangnan bent over, picked up the child, and kissed the child on the face. Now the baby in Wan Feng's belly was about to be born, and he had neglected his little An An.
"You guys stay here and eat. I'll go see your mother." Cao Xiangnan put the child on the chair and sat him down. He picked up the other child who was looking at him eagerly and put him next to An An. He looked up and said to An Ning, "An Ning, Hua's mother, you and the children should eat first. You don't have to wait for me. I'll go see if Wan Feng has woken up."
The people in the room hadn't come out yet, so he wanted to go in and take a look.
"Okay." Knowing that Cao Xiangnan would not be back for a while, Aning took Tonghua's mother and the children to eat first. The porridge was still hot in the pot. When they came out later, they would take it out of the pot. It would still be hot.
He pushed open the door, went in and closed it. When Cao Xiangnan came in, he saw that the person on the bed had woken up. He probably just woke up and was not very energetic. "Did you sleep well?" He bent down, kissed the person on the face, and asked.
"Yeah." He slept well. He didn't sleep much last night. He fell asleep late. The quilt was still warm. Qi Wanfeng nestled in it and didn't want to move.
"Breakfast is ready, everyone, have breakfast. I made big meat buns today, you like them. I see you haven't even opened your eyes yet, little lazy pig, I'll go get you some water to wipe your face." Cao Xiangnan went outside and fetched water in a basin. After wiping the man's face, he felt much more energetic.
When they went to the dining room, the people who had eaten earlier had almost finished their meals, and they sat down later.
It was snowing outside that day, and everyone stayed indoors. There was a fireplace in the house, and compared to the cold wind outside, it was much warmer inside. Everyone was at home, and the children were playing and making noises inside, and the children's laughter could be heard.
The person half-leaning on the sofa smiled faintly. Cao Xiangnan stayed beside Qi Wanfeng, and they sat together and chatted. The two dogs were let in and fell asleep in the house. The little white fox curled up into a ball and rolled up on the sofa. The white ball was very conspicuous.
Eating and sleeping all day, the day passed quickly in leisure.
After dinner, the sky outside gradually got darker, and the children at home returned to the house after taking a bath. Recently, Qi Wanfeng always felt that the fetus in his belly had a sense of falling. He knew that the child was probably about to come out, and he was looking forward to the arrival of this child in his heart.
It was dark outside, and they also returned to the house and went to bed.
When he lay down, he felt a dull pain in his stomach, but it was gone after a while. Qi Wanfeng just thought it was the little guy in his stomach bothering him, and he didn't pay much attention to it. When his husband got on the bed and lay in the familiar embrace, his husband's hands caressed him, and he fell asleep comfortably.
When the person in his arms fell asleep, Cao Xiangnan also fell asleep, and he slept very deeply this time.
Later, when Qi Wanfeng thought about this night, he felt that he was careless. Although he had given birth to a child, he was less experienced than others who gave birth for the first time. He didn't know that this was a sign that the baby was coming out.
"Husband!" Qi Wanfeng woke up in the middle of the night with a burst of intense stomach pain. As soon as he woke up, he felt a wetness under his pants. He subconsciously grabbed his husband who was still sleeping beside him and called him.
No, the baby is about to be born!
"...What's wrong? Is the baby bothering you again?" He has to wake up several times every night recently. When he woke up this time, Cao Xiangnan was still drowsy and his mind was not very clear. His hand under the quilt touched over habitually and accurately touched Wanfeng's bulging belly.
"No, no, the baby is about to come out!" He took a breath because of the pain in his stomach. Qi Wanfeng groaned softly, held his breath, and finished his words in one breath.
"!"
Cao Xiangnan shuddered and woke up at once.
