"Oh, this is delicious. It smells good." Ma Fuquan took the perilla from Jian Ning's hand, walked a few steps towards the kitchen, and then turned back to ask Jian Ning, "Can I eat this while breastfeeding?"
"You can eat it in moderation, it's okay. It can clear away heat and reduce internal heat in the summer." Jian Ning said as he walked towards the main house.
In the room, Tian was feeding Xiaolu. Jian Ning saw the little guy trying his best to puff out his cheeks and suck hard, closing his eyes and eating with grunts. She reached out and touched the little guy's vest. Tian had tied a bellyband for him, leaving the back skin open.
Tian smiled and said, "This is a fiery child. He is extremely afraid of heat and cannot stand the slightest bit of heat. If you put more clothes on him, he will surely cry."
Jian Ning touched the little guy's hands and feet again, and said with a smile: "It's okay, as long as the palms of your hands and feet are not cold."
"My fourth child is really easy to take care of. My second and third sisters-in-law all said that the house is so quiet that it's as if there is no extra child. It's rare to hear him cry."
Jian Ning made a gesture to silence him, then lowered her voice and laughed, "Stop praising him! He'll get proud if you do, and you'll be in trouble if he starts to make a scene."
"My eldest sister-in-law said the same thing. She doesn't allow us to praise him."
After eating and drinking, Ma Xiaolu fell into a deep sleep. Jian Ning looked at this tender and adorable thing, and her heart moved. She suddenly wanted to have a baby, a baby of her and Ding Youtian.
But it is not possible at the moment. She has to go with Ding Youtian to Beijing to take the exam. After all, she has offended King Yong and she has to be on guard. Besides, she misses Ah Man. Every time the girl writes back to her, she calls her "mother". Unconsciously, she has treated Ah Man as her own daughter.
In the kitchen, Ma Fuquan cleaned up the fish and washed the basil. He came over and wanted to hug Ma Xiaolu, but Tian stopped him. "Don't hug him. If you get used to hugging him, you won't be tired in the future, and you'll be relying on me to cause trouble."
"You'll kiss my son if you don't hug him, will you?" Ma Fuquan leaned over and kissed the child on the face without thinking twice. Then he looked at Jian Ning with a smile, "Stay here for a while. I'll go get my mother-in-law. After dinner, Yuechan and I have to rush back to the county."
"Okay, if she wants to go back in a few days, I'll ask Uncle San to take her back in a car, and then pick her up again when she wants."
"Oh, it's a blessing for Tian Guizhi to have a sister like you." Ma Fuquan said as he stretched his neck to look at his son, then strode away with a smile.
"See what I said was right?" Jian Ning said to Tian with a smile after he left. "No matter whether it's a boy or a girl, he will definitely like the child if it's his own."
"That's right. He keeps talking about his son all the time and he almost forgets about me, his mother." Although Tian said this, she smiled with satisfaction, because Ma Fuquan treated her so well that she felt a million times better than before.
"What are your plans? Will you and your mother continue to live in the countryside after the full moon?" Jian Ning asked her.
"I was born and raised in the countryside, and I can't get used to living in the city. Besides, there are only a few rooms. My second and third brothers and their spouses live in one, and the rest are for the escorts. My mother and I would have nowhere to live if we went there. It's better to live comfortably and securely in our own home."
"Okay, I get it. Don't worry too much. Rest for a few more days. Getting well is the most important thing."
Tian felt relieved after hearing her words. To be honest, she had been worried. Xiaolu had four sons, and they would need money in the future. She was a hardworking person who couldn't sit still, so it would be good for her to earn more money.
She really couldn't bear to leave her job at the winery. Just like modern people with jobs, they feel empty inside when they leave their jobs, which is always a bad feeling.
"You are my biological sister, and you always think of me. What Mai's father said is right. Having a sister like you is a blessing I earned in my previous life."
"Don't say that. You were so kind to me in the past, I remember it all. We were originally planning to go to the capital at the end of the month, but now that you're back, it won't be too late to go after you're one month old. After we leave, you can help look after the winery. Yue'e and Qiaofeng will help you. I'll say goodbye to Cui Gu when I come back."
"Is everything okay with the village head uncle?"
Jian Ning shook her head. "It's okay. She doesn't really want to do it anymore. I've been holding her back until you come back."
"Hey, that's not right." Tian sat up straight. "Is Dabao's father going to Beijing to take the imperial examination? If he was, he should have left long ago."
"There's a secret here. I didn't tell you before because I didn't want to scare you. Brother Qiu isn't an ordinary snake. He can fly. It's summer now, so it'll only take two or three hours to get to the capital. There's no delay."
"Oh my god, how can it be so capable? Isn't that a demon? No wonder it understands everything. And Guoguo and Baimei'er, my god, after all, you are the most capable, sister. You have trained these things like demons."
"Tell me the truth, are you the reincarnation of a bodhisattva? Otherwise, how come all those things turned into spirits in your hands?"
Jian Ning said happily: "If I were really the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva, I would turn Ma Xiaolu into a daughter and fulfill your wish."
"That won't do." Tian said with a smile, "Mai's father really loves his precious son. I won't let you become my daughter. What if he changes his mind and doesn't want me anymore?"
The two chatted for a while, and then Jian Ning remembered that she hadn't told her about Meixiang yet, so she told her about Meixiang again. "Oh, if you hadn't mentioned her, I would have forgotten about it. There's another good thing." She told her about receiving the silver from the escort, "I'll have Bao'er's father send the silver note over tonight."
"You two are really capable. You won't have any work to do until the end of October. If your man passes high school this time, this wine will have to be renamed Zhuangyuanhong. I'm afraid my wife won't be able to catch up with your man even if she rides a fast horse."
"Sister, you are so lucky to marry a good man!"
"My big brother Ma is not well? Be careful, I will tell my big brother Ma what you said." Jian Ning stood up and heard the sound of horse hooves. When she came out to greet him, Ma Fuquan drove the carriage to the outside of the courtyard gate.
Tian's mother brought some old things with her. She only went back to visit Tian during her confinement period, and stayed with her for the rest of the time. Until Tian's full moon, Ma Fuquan went to pick up his father-in-law and several children from the family, and they had a lively full moon banquet. Only then did Tian's parents take the children back home.
Just before leaving, Jian Ning told Qiu Ge that he was going to the capital. Qiu Ge immediately ran around the yard like a madman. Erniu and Sanniu were so happy when they learned that their parents were going to take them with them that they ran around the rooms like crazy. Only Ma Xiaodou was unhappy. He ran to Tian Shi and cried, saying that he wanted to be Jian Ning's son. He also rolled on the ground and got angry. Tian Shi was so angry that she picked him up like a chicken and threw him into the yard.
