Before the New Year, three carts of New Year goods were sent from Nanyang, along with a letter from Fang Ziye with greetings.
Cao Xiangnan wrote a letter back and asked Baoer to put a small handprint on the blank space of the letter. He knew that Fang Ziye missed Baoer, and Baoer couldn't write yet, so he had to let Baoer put the handprint. When the reader saw the small handprint, they knew whose handprint it was. Fang Ziye was about to give birth, but he didn't know whether it was a boy or a boy. He asked someone to send some children's clothes and small toys to Prince Duan's mansion, and also sent New Year gifts, which included a lot of precious gold, silver and jade wares. I think it was Prince Duan's way of thanking them for taking care of Aning and Xuanxuan. Gifts should be exchanged, and it is impolite not to reciprocate. Cao Xiangnan also asked someone to prepare gifts and send them over, one to Fang Ziye and one to Prince Duan's Mansion, along with letters. As soon as
the month of Ramadan arrived, the end of the year was approaching.
The workshop has not stopped working this year. In previous winters, he could still take a nap at home. This year, Cao Xiangnan found that he had not stopped since he came back. The work piled up in the front was done in the back, and he was still busy now in December. This winter
is much better than in previous years. Although it is cold today, there are not many days with heavy snow.
The sun went down and snow began to fall outside. The carriage returned home. Cao Xiangnan got out of the carriage, and the Liu family boy hurried the carriage back to the back. After winter came, they moved back to Caojia Village. It was more convenient to live in the village than in the town.
Qi Wanfeng saw her husband coming back, so she went to help him take off his coat and hang it on the hanger beside him.
The children in the family saw their father coming back and ran over to call him father. Cao Ruile was not interested in this. He looked up at his biological father but did not go over. Cao Xiangnan touched a few children. Baoer hugged his thighs with both hands. He picked him up and tapped the little guy's nose. The little guy giggled and twisted his little body to get off. Cao Xiangnan had to put the little guy down and let him play by himself.
Baoer ran to Lele as soon as he got off the ground. Lele's expression softened a lot when he looked at Baoer.
The father and son exchanged a glance. Cao Xiangnan smiled, and Lele looked away with a wooden face, ignoring his father's inquiring eyes. Cao Xiangnan didn't care.
"Husband, there's some food left for you in the pot. Do you want to eat some?" Qi Wanfeng asked. "Yes." "He responded with his mouth. Cao Xiangnan was not in a hurry. He reached out and touched Wanfeng's growing belly. He greeted the little guy and asked Wanfeng if he had been obedient today. Qi Wanfeng smiled and nodded. The child in this belly was more active than his two brothers. He had been moving in his belly all day since he could turn over for the first time. He thought that the baby would be an active boy when he was born. The belly that was only five months old seemed to be seven months old, which made him feel a little strange.
Both of them were staring at the belly and talking. Cao Xiangnan also noticed that the size of Wanfeng's belly was a little abnormal. He asked, "Wanfeng, do you think this baby will be twins?" "Otherwise, why would this belly be so big?
The probability of my brother having twins is very small, but it is not impossible."
...pregnancy?" Qi Wanfeng looked up at her husband, and the two of them looked at each other. Cao Xiangnan nodded and said, "Let's not worry, let's ask Dr. Luo to come and check on you tomorrow. Don't worry, whether it's one, two or three, we can take care of them.
Qi Wanfeng patted her husband. What's the big deal? One, two, three! Does he think he's a pig? But he couldn't help laughing when he heard what her husband said. Cao Xiangnan grabbed her hand, put it on his lips and kissed it, then went to the dining room to eat. He was really hungry after working outside all day.
The puppies at home have grown up now, and they are kept in the house with the dogs. The group of children were making a lot of noise at home, so they were driven outside and left to make noise on their own. Snow Wolf was the only one left in the house, lying in front of the stove, warming himself by the fire, looking lazy, with his ears twitching from time to time. At this moment, Baoer ran over and sat beside the snow wolf, and his chubby paws touched the snow wolf's soft fur. The snow wolf raised its head and glanced at Baoer. There was tenderness and kindness in its aqua-blue eyes, and it didn't look like a wolf that could bite a big wolf to death. After looking at the child who came to touch it, the snow wolf closed its eyes again, letting the child's hands touch its body wantonly. As
Baoer touched it, he lay down and used his face to touch it. He rubbed against the Snow Wolf, and hugged the Snow Wolf with both hands to sleep with it.
One hand reached out, and Cao Ruile pulled Baoer away with a dark face. Baoer was not angry when he found out that it was Lele who pulled him away. He shouted "Le hug" and wanted to rub Lele with the face that had just rubbed against the Snow Wolf, but was pushed away by Cao Ruile with a look of disgust. Baoer giggled and kept teasing Lele.
When it was time to take a bath in the evening, Cao Ruile washed Baoer from head to toe, and he was not satisfied until Baoer smelled fragrant. After
Cao Xiangnan had dinner, it was dark outside. At this time, the children in the family had taken a bath and went back to their respective rooms to sleep. He went to the child's room to check on the child, tucked in the corners of the quilt for the child, and checked that nothing was wrong at home before returning to his room.
An oil lamp was lit in the room, and the person sitting under the lamp was mending a small hat. The dim light shone on his face, immersing him in the soft light. Cao Xiangnan paused and closed the door with his backhand. He walked over and took the needle and thread from Wanfeng's hand, put it in the basket together with the half-finished small hat, bent down and moved over. Their faces were close to the ground, and he said, "Didn't I tell you not to do these? Doesn't sewing under the lamp hurt your eyes?
"When you have nothing to do, do some chores. If you don't do it often, it won't hurt your eyes." Nowadays, the clothes for adults and children in the family are all made in the garment workshop. Qi Wanfeng would like to do these chores when he is free, but his husband would never let him do it every time he saw him. Qi Wanfeng smiled helplessly and stood up with his husband's help.
The two walked towards the bed, Qi Wanfeng sat on the bed and said, "You don't let me do anything all day long. How can I be so weak?" He found that he was becoming more and more useless because of being raised by his husband, and he couldn't help his husband in anything.
When he was pregnant with An An, he still worked in the fields, fetching water and doing everything. His body is not made of paper, how could he fall down when the wind blew. However, Qi Wanfeng dared not mention the past to her husband. First, she was afraid that her husband would feel guilty and sad, and he would not be able to bear it. Second, the past was over, and there was no point in bringing it up again.
It was good that he was living a good life now. Her husband was good to her, and the children were well-behaved. There was nothing better than the life now.
You'd better be careful. I don't want you to be too tired. After the baby in your belly is born, I will not stop you from doing anything. "
Cao Xiangnan helped the person lie down, pulled the quilt for the person, and looked at the person lying on the bed looking at him. He couldn't help but kissed his forehead.
Qi Wanfeng reached out and touched the place where he had just been kissed, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
Cao Xiangnan went over to blow out the oil lamp and lay down on the bed.
In the darkness, the two people hugged each other, their breath blended together, a warm kiss fell, and their lips touched each other, They kissed and caressed each other until Qi Wanfeng couldn't bear it anymore, moaned softly, and called out, "Husband..."
Cao Xiangnan laughed softly, knowing that Wanfeng was not feeling well at the moment, so he didn't dare to bother him. After letting him release his orgasm, the person in his arms fell asleep. He took a clean towel to wipe the person clean, cleaned up briefly, and slept with the person in his arms, feeling very satisfied.
Fortunately, the weather outside was good the next day. It didn't snow and the road was easy to walk on. He went to the town to pick up Doctor Luo to come home. The town's clinic was not very busy at this time, so Doctor Luo could go out to see patients.
The carriage was bumpy, and it was not suitable for Wanfeng to ride in the carriage at this time, so he had to trouble Doctor Luo to make a trip.
After Doctor Luo came over to check Qi Wanfeng's pulse, he pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, this is indeed twins." The last time he checked Wanfeng's pulse, the fetus in her belly was still young, so he didn't notice that it would be twins. It was he who neglected it.
This was within the expectations of the two, and it was also a surprise for them. It is not easy for a girl to be pregnant, and it is even rarer to be pregnant with twins. Cao Xiangnan was happy but also a little worried. He asked Dr. Luo what he should pay attention to. He kept all the instructions in mind.
Don't worry too much. Wanfeng is in good health. Just be like usual. If you have any problem, come to the clinic and find me. "Old Luo explained with a smile.
Cao Xiangnan was relieved and asked someone to send Doctor Luo back to the Luo Family Clinic in the town.
There were many things to do before the New Year, and there were many personnel exchanges. Because Wanfeng was pregnant, Cao Xiangnan didn't want to let others worry too much, so the family affairs were handed over to the two brothers Jinxiu and Jinyan to take care of.
New Year's Eve is the New Year, and the New Year happened to have good weather.
This year passed quickly, and it was the end of the year in the blink of an eye. After New Year's Eve, the old year passed and the new year came. Children like to celebrate the New Year the most. It's the New Year, and it's the adults who are afraid of the New Year. When children grow a year older, adults get a year older.
During the New Year, the house is bustling with visitors, and every day is lively and noisy.
On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, lanterns are lit, and wishes are placed on them. The lit lanterns drift away with the water, carrying the wishes of the wisher.
After closing his eyes and making a wish, Qi Wanfeng opened his eyes. His waist was hugged from behind by his husband, and he relaxed and leaned back in his husband's arms. Cao Xiangnan kissed the person in his arms on the ear and asked, "Tell me, what did you write on it?"
"Guess, if you guess right, I'll kiss you." Qi Wanfeng turned his head and smiled at his husband.
Cao Xiangnan leaned in and whispered something to the person in his arms, asking, "Is that right?" Qi Wanfeng smiled and kissed her husband on the face, without saying yes or no. The two wanted to get close to each other, and on both sides of the river there were two people like them lighting lanterns, with their wishes on the lanterns.
After the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the year is considered over.
