Jian Ning and his companions took an official ship back. After the horses and carriages were separated, they could all get on board. It was Duan Xinyan's first time on a ship, and since she was pregnant, her reaction was even greater. She felt even more dizzy than Ding Youtian's first time on a ship, and she vomited until she was dizzy.
Because she was afraid that the seasickness medicine would affect the fetus, Jane Ning could only feed her some spiritual spring water. Even so, she was still very upset. She kept cursing at Jane Ning all the way and yelling at him to abort the fetus for her. She didn't stop for a long time in the middle of the night.
Although Erlangzi was a bit of a scoundrel, he was actually very kind to Duan Xinyan. No matter how much she made a fuss, he would always try to comfort her with a smile. Seeing her in pain, he was so anxious that he wished he could suffer for her.
In order to calm her down, Jian Ning had no choice but to coax her and massage her Anmian acupoint, Shenmen acupoint, and Baihui acupoint. After coaxing her to sleep, she said to Erlangzi, "You can't spoil her like this and let her do whatever she wants. I will scold her when we get home."
Duan Xinyan was genuinely seasick, but part of the reason was that she was spoiled. If Erlangzi wasn't around, she wouldn't have been so upset. Jian Ning, seeing how she had honestly helped out at the bookstore every day for the past three years, doing many things herself, had indeed changed a lot, so he indulged her a little.
Erlangzi chuckled. He still couldn't change the habit of scratching the top of his head. He just tied his hair up and scratched the back of his head instead.
Duan Xinyan woke up when she felt the boat was about to dock. She opened her eyes and saw Jian Ning sitting beside her, fanning her. Her two maids, who were also seasick, were dozing off on the small bed beside them with pale faces.
"Eldest sister." She touched her slightly pregnant belly and looked at Jian Ning with an unusually calm and peaceful expression. "Sometimes I really can't believe that there is a little baby in my belly breathing with me. Many times I think of my mother. I wonder if she felt the same way as me when she was pregnant with my sister and me, looking forward to seeing the baby as soon as possible. But..."
Her eyes darkened, and she continued, "But I don't understand, elder sister. When I was pregnant, my heart was always warm. When I saw other pregnant women, I always wanted to be close to them. If you haven't been pregnant, you don't know the hardship, nor can you experience the little bit of anticipation and warmth in your heart. You said my mother was also pregnant with several children, why did she have the heart to harm...elder sister, I don't hate you anymore, I haven't hated you for a long time."
"I want to ask my eldest sister to stop hating my mother, but I also feel that my eldest sister should hate my mother, and I feel very uncomfortable."
The cabin was a little stuffy. Jane Ning wiped her forehead and neck with a handkerchief and said with a faint smile, "People are like lights that go out. If I tell you that I will no longer hate your mother the day her light goes out, would you believe me?"
"Really?" Duan Xinyan grabbed her and said.
"Yes." After spending several years together, Jian Ning truly treated her as a younger sister. "Come to my home in the countryside and rest for a few days. After that, you can go back to Beijing with your brother-in-law to visit your parents. You two haven't been back to Beijing since you got married. Don't worry, you are also your parents' daughter. They will treat you and the child well."
"I miss my father and mother too, but my husband said that the court might go to war with the Yue Kingdom. He wants to wait until he has achieved fame with his eldest brother-in-law before going with me to see my father and mother."
"What do you think? Are you going to listen to him?"
"Didn't my elder sister tell me to learn to respect my husband in public and not to humiliate him just because he's from a lowly family? I think I'll just listen to her."
Jian Ning pinched her nose and said, "Okay, then we'll listen to him. Harmony between husband and wife is the most important thing. If you give him the respect he deserves, he will naturally repay you double."
Official ships did not dock at the Baisha Town Wharf in the past. Later, because the birthplace of miscellaneous grains was in Dingxian Village of Baisha Town, official ships made an exception and began to sail into the Baisha Town Wharf.
After getting off the boat, Duan Xinyan, who had been a little pregnant just now, put her hands on her waist and back, swaying with the steps of a pregnant woman about to give birth. She also beckoned to Erlangzi to come over and support her, "It's not me who wants to support you, it's you who wants daddy to support you."
Erlangzi was so happy that his face was shiny with oil. He hurriedly bowed to Tong Bajin and Xu Dali and said, "Brothers, I leave the carriage to you two. I have to go and help my mother. Thank you very much!"
He came over and carefully supported her with both hands. When they got off the boat and reached the shore, she was still walking with her belly protruding. Jane Ning couldn't help but slap her on the butt.
"Oh, elder sister, don't take pictures randomly. If you take pictures of my baby, even if I don't make trouble for you, the baby's father will make trouble for you. Isn't that right, husband?"
The fool scratched the back of his head with one hand, feeling a little confused. Should he say yes or no?
After three years of absence, Jian Ning set foot on the land of Baisha Town again. She couldn't help but glance at Ding Youtian, and Ding Youtian happened to be looking at her as well.
When their eyes met, they saw the same color in each other's eyes.
Duan Xinning has been in Baisha Town since she was seven years old. Jian Ning was in Dingxian Village when she traveled through time. Arriving in Baisha Town felt just like arriving in Dingxian Village. Every blade of grass and every stone had an indescribable sense of familiarity.
"No wonder Uncle Qin always talks about how great Baisha Town is. He and Aunt Feng have lived here for most of their lives. We've only been away for three years and are back here. We have mixed feelings, let alone them."
Ding Youtian shook her hand and said, "This is our root. No matter where we go in the future, our roots are deeply rooted here. No matter who dares to occupy our land, we..."
"Fight them to the end!" Jane Ning interrupted him.
Ding Youtian smiled and embraced her, his hand firmly on her shoulder. He whispered in her ear, "How could I be so worthy of you to be with me in this life? You came from another time and space."
Jane Ning smiled and bumped her head against his, but he held her head, lowered his eyebrows, and was about to kiss her lips.
Although there were only the two of them in the car, Baimei Guoguo was also there. As the weather was hot, they each occupied one side of the seat. Jian Ning and Ding Youtian sat in the middle, without waiting for Ding Youtian to put his lips on hers.
"Kiss! Kiss!" Baimei tilted his head and shouted.
Tong Bajin's laughter rang out from outside the carriage. Jian Ning pushed Ding Youtian away and punched him in the face, "Are you annoying?"
"Shouldn't the one who is hated be that flat-haired beast?" Ding Youtian glanced at Baimei, and Guoguo suddenly jumped up.
"Fuck him!" Baimei cursed in panic before Jian Ning took Guoguo into the Baicao Room.
They arrived at Dingxian Village. Erniu and Sanniu, who were riding in the carriage behind them, were so excited when they saw the plaque at the village entrance that they stamped their feet and shouted at Erlangzi, the driver, "Stop! Uncle Shi, stop the car!"
After the carriage stopped, they both jumped out, and two grown silver foxes also jumped out of the carriage and chased them towards the village.
Under the shade of a tree at the entrance of the village, Meng was sitting on a small bench with several old women who were doing needlework. She was sewing shoe soles while cursing Liu and Gao. One of the old women saw two brightly dressed girls running over, followed by two silver foxes with big tails running happily, and she suddenly remembered that they were Erniu and Sanniu.
She quickly turned to the scolding Meng, who was spitting everywhere, and said, "Look, who's here?"
