It was cloudy in the afternoon, with a cold wind howling outside and snow falling. In summer, the sun was still shining outside at this time, but in winter, the oil lamps were lit in the dining room. Dinner was ready and on the table, still steaming, and adults and children sat around the table.
In this season, the cooked food should be eaten while it is hot, otherwise it will get cold soon.
The chicken soup was slowly stewed in a clay pot. When the lid was opened, a layer of rich fragrance emanated. Cao Xiangnan removed the top layer of oil to stir-fry the vegetables. The soup scooped from the pot into the bowl was golden in color, but not greasy, and had the aroma of mushrooms.
"Come, have a bowl of soup. All the delicious things are in this soup. Believe me, drinking more soup is better than eating anything." Cao Xiangnan scooped the soup into the bowl, and saw Ershun move the soup in front of Fang Ziye, and he said with a smile.
Fang Ziye took a look at the golden soup and thought it smelled good.
"Come to eat." Everyone saw Wanfeng coming and said.
"Mom, eat."
"Yes." Qi Wanfeng fed the child who woke up and let the child play in the crib by himself. He came to eat. The soup was already placed in front of the empty seat. He sat down, with his husband on one side and Anan on the other. When
Anan saw her mom coming, there was a bright smile on her little face.
The whole stewed chicken was so tender that you could poke it with chopsticks. Cao Xiangnan gave the poked chicken to the little ones, and there was still some left on the plates. There were many people eating at home, so he cooked two more dishes. Fortunately, there was a lot of food stored at home, so there was no need to worry about not having enough food even if there were more people.
"You can take whatever you want to eat, don't be polite." He said.
Doctor Huang saw that there were still fresh dishes on the table at this time of year, and he liked them even more. He kept using chopsticks to pick up the dishes. There were meat and vegetables on the table. After a meal, everyone was very satisfied.
It gets dark quickly at this time of year. If it is cloudy, there is no difference between day and night. When you are full, you sleep in the house, and when you are full, you eat. If there is nothing to do, it is freezing outside and people don't even want to go out.
After dinner, several children were playing in the living room. There were a few more firewoods in the fireplace, and the fire was burning brightly, making the room warmer.
Xiao Lele, who had eaten and drunk enough, was also kicking his feet in the crib. At this time, he could wake up and look for a while. If he lay down for a long time, he would hum and ask for someone to pick him up. Hearing the child's voice, Qi Wanfeng picked up the child from the car, "You remembered it, right?" he asked.
He sat down on the bench with the child in his arms, and the little white fox also jumped to his side.
"When did you raise such a little thing?" Fang Ziye half-leaned on the bench, with a soft cushion behind him, and saw a little white fox following Qi Wanfeng. The pure white fur was not even a stray hair, and it was a rare little thing.
"How could we raise it? It ran here on its own and we raised it at home." The little white fox lay beside him. Qi Wanfeng lowered his head and said with a smile.
The baby in his belly was particularly noisy today, perhaps because of the noisy sounds in the room, and he couldn't ignore it. Fang Ziye had to reach out and soothe the little fellow in his belly.
Noticing where Fang Ziye's hand was, Qi Wanfeng knew that it was the baby in his belly that was bothering him. He wanted to say something, but he found that he didn't know what to say in the end. The raised eyes met Fang Ziye's, and the other party had a faint smile on his lips, as if he knew what he wanted to say.
"He is very well behaved on weekdays. He is also happy to come here to liven up the atmosphere." Fang Ziye could feel the happiness of the child in his belly, and a smile appeared on his face. He took the initiative to bring up this topic.
The two of them sat close to each other, and only the two of them could hear the words.
"Yeah." Qi Wanfeng was the first to look away, and put his eyes on the child in his arms, and said, "The children of this month are very active. When Lele was in my belly, he moved all day long."
He knew that it was not very comfortable for the child to kick the belly. Only those who have been pregnant with children know this feeling, especially in the later months when the child is older, the kicking will be stronger.
"You, you have to take care of yourself, take good care of yourself, and give birth to the baby safely." Qi Wanfeng's words were full of concern. He saw that Fang Ziye's face was not very good. A pregnant woman at this month should not be so thin. I'm afraid that she is not living well.
"Yeah." Fang Ziye nodded, looking thoughtful.
"I, I have told Xiangnan about this. I hope you don't mind." Qi Wanfeng said with a slightly apologetic tone that he told his husband about this matter without asking the other party.
"No, there is nothing to mind. I am sorry to cause you trouble." Later, when Cao Xiangnan looked at him, Fang Ziye knew that Cao Xiangnan knew that he was pregnant.
Since he came here, he didn't intend to hide the fact that he had a child in his belly, but he didn't intend to let too many people know. After all, he didn't intend to let that person know about this child. At this time, if the existence of the child is known, it will not benefit him or the other person. Naturally, the fewer people know about the child, the better, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"No, it won't cause any trouble. I'm very happy that you can think of coming to us at this time." Qi Wanfeng said this sincerely. The other party also trusted him and came to him at this time.
In just a few short sentences, they explained their trust and understanding of each other. The invisible wall between the two people disappeared in an instant. When the two people looked at each other, there was a smile in their eyes.
I sat with Fang Ziye for a while and told him some things to pay attention to after having a child. It was getting late at this time, and the little ones had to take a bath and go to bed. Qi Wanfeng gently put the sleeping child in his arms on the crib and got up to give the two little ones a bath.
After the children took a bath and returned to their rooms, the noisy room gradually became quiet.
The two little ones are now sleeping with Aning in her room. Qi Wanfeng feels more at ease. He doesn't have to worry about whether the two little ones will catch a cold while sleeping at night. There is someone to take care of them. He can concentrate on taking care of the little ones.
After checking the pulse of the young master and giving him a few instructions, Doctor Huang also went back to his room to sleep. After running around outside for so long, he now has a comfortable place to live. His old bones also need to take a good rest.
After Doctor Huang came out of Fang Ziye's room, Cao Xiangnan went in with Qi Wanfeng.
They didn't stay in the house for long, just exchanged a few words, Cao Xiangnan's meaning was very clear, asking Fang Ziye to rest assured to stay with him to give birth to the child, and after the child was born, he decided to keep the child with him, he and Wanfeng would treat the child as their own, help him take care of the child, and wait for him to finish his work and take the child back.
As for the rest, he didn't ask a single question, nor did he show any curiosity.
At this point, Fang Ziye was particularly grateful to Cao Xiangnan and Qi Wanfeng. With Cao Xiangnan's words, he could just stay with him with peace of mind until the child was born. And his decision to leave the child here would not change. At this time, once that person knew the existence of the child, it would be easy to connect the child with what happened that night. There is no doubt that this is the child he gave birth to.
For that person, it is nothing more than someone giving him another child. But for him, this child is his everything, and it is the sustenance of his short life for the next few decades. He will not give the child to that person. And now with Cao Xiangnan's words, he can also stay here with peace of mind to take care of the fetus until the child is born safely.
There are people taking care of the little ones there, and he doesn't even need to go to the ward. After coming out of the bathroom, Cao Xiangnan checked the house and found nothing wrong. He put a few thick firewood in the fireplace, stoked the fire, and sealed the fireplace mouth, so that the rooms can maintain a good temperature at night.
There was also a small lantern left in the living room, and the dim light was hazy in the darkness.
The little white fox following him wanted to follow him into the house. Cao Xiangnan picked up the little white fox and put it in the small nest where he slept. He ignored the little white fox's resentful eyes and went back to the room. When he came in, he saw the person in the room sitting on the bed feeding the awakened child, "Are you full, little guy?" Cao Xiangnan asked, closing the door with his backhand.
At this time, the child needs to eat milk before going to sleep. He needs to get up to feed again at night. The child can sleep until dawn before waking up. Then he can be fed again and sleep until dawn.
The little guy is relatively easy to take care of. He is fed when he is hungry and sleeps when he is sleepy. He needs to be held when he lies down for a long time. He is not clingy and can be taken care of by anyone. He even cries less.
"He just ate two mouthfuls. He needs more for a while." The child went to bed a little later today. He didn't eat much of the bowl of goat milk. Qi Wanfeng saw her husband coming in, raised her head and smiled at him, and continued to feed the child with a small spoon to scoop the goat milk in the bowl.
Walking over and habitually kissing the person who was feeding the child, Cao Xiangnan climbed onto the bed first, stretched his head from the back, and looked at the two in front of him, one big and one small. This era is not like his original world. At night, he can still play with computers and mobile phones, and after dark, there is no entertainment except sleeping and doing exercises in bed.
From his angle, he just saw the person in front of him with his head down, looking at the child with a smile on his face. His lines were soft and gentle, and his throat rolled unconsciously.
He was a little virgin who had just started to have sex not long ago. He had just tasted this good taste and had to live a long life of abstinence. After Wanfeng got pregnant, he couldn't touch him anymore. This was even more so during these days. After his wife gave birth to the child, she just had to take care of herself. When the child was one month old, he was so tired that he fell asleep every day. For such a long time, except for the usual kisses, they didn't do anything beyond the line.
If you ask Cao Xiangnan if he wants to eat meat, the answer is yes.
After feeding a small bowl of goat's milk, the child in his arms closed his eyes and fell asleep. Qi Wanfeng turned his head and his lips almost touched his husband's lips. He paused.
The light in the room was dim, but it was enough for him to see what was in his husband's eyes. The words he wanted to say were blocked in his throat for a while, and he forgot what he wanted to say.
"I..." Qi Wanfeng wanted to say, "I'll put the child down first."
As soon as she opened her mouth, her lips were held, and the breath was too familiar and hot, and it immediately hit her face. If her husband hadn't reached out to hold the child, her hands would have almost dropped the child.
I don't know when the child in her arms was taken away and put on the small bed next to her. The child who was put down raised his eyelids, pursed his little mouth like a little old man, and fell asleep after a while.
"...Is it okay?"
"Yeah..."
A low panting sound came from the room, which didn't sound real in this night and was covered by the sound of the wind outside the window.
