While they poured out their hearts to each other, Lin Chenglie, standing to the side, was also reluctant to part.
"Cheng Lie! Swords and blades have no eyes, so be careful, understand?"
Zhao Hanyue, her eyes also red, held Lin Chenglie's hand and gave him some words of advice.
"Yes, Mother, I know!"
Lin Chenglie looked at his mother, then at his wife, and said in a low voice, his voice choked with emotion.
At this moment, everyone only has these two sentences for them, because their worries and expectations are the same: they worry about their safety and hope that they can return safely.
When the time came, Li Xiaochen, Lin Chenglie, and Zhao Jiajun's 50,000 men and 300,000 soldiers stepped onto that cruel and bloody battlefield.
Lin Yuxin and the others could only watch them leave with tears in their eyes.
"Alright, everyone go back now. There are still two pregnant women here; they might catch a cold."
Seeing that the women's eyes were red, Zhao Yingjie knew they were sad. Since they could no longer be seen, he had no choice but to speak first and remind them.
"Yes, yes, let's go back quickly. Yuxin and Qingxue are both pregnant. Don't let them catch a cold!"
Second Aunt Chen Lanzhi walked to Lin Yuxin's side, took her hand, and said to everyone.
Actually, they were worried that Lin Yuxin and Ji Qingxue would be too heartbroken and wanted them to go back first. After all, they were newlyweds and pregnant, and they were afraid that they might do something rash and harm their health.
The women of the Zhao family were now able to calmly face such scenes. Every parting in the past felt like the last time they would see each other, fearing that they might never return.
And sometimes they really never come back. The eldest son, Yingbo, never returned! Leaving Shihui alone with her two children, all alone and helpless.
The Zhao family members have now quickly recovered from their sadness at parting and have begun to comfort Lin Yuxin and the others.
"Yes, yes, let's go home!"
Zhao Hanyue also came to her senses. She still had two children to take care of, both of whom were pregnant. She couldn't affect them, so she quickly composed herself, took Ji Qingxue's hand with one hand and Lin Yuxin's hand with the other, and said.
After they all returned to the Lin residence, the men of the Zhao family also went back. However, several of the aunts were worried that the two children were too sad, so they all came to the Lin residence to keep them company and cheer them up.
Zhao Hanyue looked at the two children, who were listless and lacked energy, and knew that they were still sad.
Zhao Hanyue was at a loss. She exchanged glances with her sisters-in-law and decided that she should try to distract them.
So he took out a piece of cloth, put it on the table, and said:
"The men in the house aren't here right now, and you two are both pregnant. Since you have nothing to do anyway, come on, give the babies some clothes so they can wear them when they come out!"
"Yes, yes, the fabric for this child must be soft and comfortable. I have another batch of fine fabric that I'll bring over to you in a bit."
Chen Lanzhi smiled and echoed.
"That's right, having two more children all of a sudden is a wonderful thing! Big sister will be very busy now."
Qian Li also smiled and echoed.
"Hey! Of course! But Xiaoli, why didn't you bring Xiaozhou along today? That kid's probably crawling by now, isn't he?"
Zhao Hanyue said with a smile that she also liked her third brother's third son very much. She thought he was chubby and looked very festive.
But this little guy is only a few months old, and he can already recognize people.
Xiao Zhou was conceived by his third aunt, Qian Li, before Lin Yuxin went to Jibei City. He is now about four months pregnant, but he is chubby and looks like a six or seven-month-old boy. He can already crawl, which shows how well he is being fed.
Before going to Zhao, Lin Yuxin had only met Xiaozhou twice. Her third aunt was in confinement during that time, and Lin Yuxin was afraid of disturbing her, so she visited the Zhao residence less often. However, this did not stop Lin Yuxin from liking that boy.
Every time she went there, she would secretly feed the boy some water from her space. Raising him from a young age would surely make him strong when he grew up. It seems that the water was very effective!
A group of women can talk endlessly about their children.
Lin Yuxin and Ji Qingxue were affected by their casual conversation and temporarily forgot their sadness when Li Xiaochen and the others left.
"Are Chenxi and Chendong engaged? Which family are they engaged to?"
Zhao Hanyue suddenly asked.
She had heard that the two boys were looking for a partner, but since her two sisters-in-law hadn't come to inform her, she hadn't asked. Besides, her own two sons were still unmarried, and she was getting anxious.
"Chenxi's marriage has been full of twists and turns. This time, he finally got engaged to the daughter of the Vice Minister of Revenue, and the wedding date is set for October this year. It can be considered a perfect ending! Sister-in-law can finally breathe a sigh of relief!"
"Chen Dong is engaged to the daughter of Imperial Censor Feng. It can be considered a matter of fate. Once, on his way back from a break from military camp, Chen Dong encountered the daughter of the Feng family whose carriage had broken down halfway. He gave her a ride, and the two of them fell in love."
“Chen Dong is a straightforward guy. Not long after, he asked me to propose marriage, and it actually worked out. As you all know, Imperial Censor Feng is a very stubborn person. It's quite a blessing that he agreed.”
Chen Lanzhi said with a smile, and her sister-in-law Shi Hui, who was not talkative, also smiled. Now that her eldest son's marriage was finally settled, her burden was half relieved.
"These two young men are not young anymore; it's time for them to get married."
Zhao Hanyue nodded, very happy for her two nephews.
After the group of children in front of her went horseback riding, the number of Zhao family juniors who came to see her was so large that they lined up all the way to the city gate, which made her very envious!
So it's lucky that she was able to find two partners at once, but she doesn't know what to do with her two other partners.
Zhao Hanyue sighed!
"They've settled things between the two of them, but Chenxuan's marriage is still undecided! He's almost seventeen!"
Shi Hui said softly, "The problem of the eldest son has been resolved, but there is still a younger one, who is not young either."
“Sister-in-law, don’t worry. We still have two younger brothers who are single. Their marriage prospects are also bleak. Every time Mother talks about it, she sighs and laments. She wishes she could just send them back home.”
Qian Li tidied the fabric in her hands and said with a gloating expression.
"You! Take that smile off your face, or your mother will scold you again. Your two brothers-in-law are a real worry for your mother right now."
Shi Hui reminded her third sister-in-law to tone down her smile.
"oh!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Li immediately became guilty and composed, obediently measuring the cloth in her hand.
"These two, the fourth and fifth sons, don't want to get married. One is twenty and the other is nineteen, but they still haven't married. How can Mother not be anxious? Every time we arrange a marriage for them, they run back to the military camp and don't come back for half a month. It makes Mother so angry. These two boys are very stubborn."
Chen Lanzhi said she was at her wits' end with the two boys. She had tried to persuade them before, but they insisted on protecting their country and had no interest in getting married, leaving her speechless.
The Xia Kingdom has more than just the two of them as soldiers. Does the country really fall without them? How naive! She thinks these two just don't want to get married.
