Chapter 556: Giving Birth Soon
Xia Qinggui came out of the house and saw Xia Qingcao and Su Wan standing together from a distance, while Lu Xiaoxue stood opposite them, looking at Su Wan with a wary and dissatisfied look.
"This is Su Wan's sister, the daughter of my second uncle." Xia Qingcao didn't know why Lu Xiaoxue was so angry, and explained to her that Su Wan was a relative.
"Su Wan is Su Wan, why call her sister!" Lu Xiaoxue glared at Xia Qingcao unhappily, and then said dissatisfiedly:
"Why don't you introduce me to her?"
Xia Qingcao knew that Lu Xiaoxue had a very domineering temper, and didn't want to provoke her, so as not to embarrass her sister and brother-in-law, so she cooperated and introduced Su Wan:
"Oh, this is my brother-in-law's sister, Lu Xiaoxue."
"What brother-in-law's sister!" Lu Xiaoxue was not satisfied with this introduction at all, and glared at Xia Qingcao again, and then corrected her:
"I am not your sister?" After that, she took Xia Qingcao's hand as a protest, and said to Su Wan:
"Brother Qingcao and I are very good friends. He rides his bike to pick me up and buys me good food."
Xia Qingcao looked at Lu Xiaoxue in confusion. When had she ever bought good food for her? She just bought a steamed bun and she thought it was cold and refused to eat it.
"Oh." Su Wan responded softly, her mood seemed not affected at all, and she said generously:
"Xiaoxue, I will take you out to play tomorrow and buy you good food."
Lu Xiaoxue looked at Su Wan warily, thinking in her heart, why didn't she get angry when she was so unfriendly, but instead treated her very well, and asked in confusion:
"Why did you buy me food?"
"Sister Xiaoxue, have you forgotten? I am your cousin. You come to play, so of course I have to treat you." Su Wan said with a generous smile.
Lu Xiaoxue had always lived in the North City. When she was very young, she was brought to the army by Su Hui once. She was too young to remember anything at that time, so she was not familiar with the relatives of the Su family, and it was normal that she did not know Su Wan.
"You don't have to buy it." Lu Xiaoxue did not give any face to the goodwill of this strange cousin. She hugged Xia Qingcao's arm and said to Su Wan:
"Brother Qingcao will buy it for me."
Xia Qingcao pulled her arm back from Lu Xiaoxue's hand with some embarrassment.
He was really not used to Lu Xiaoxue's enthusiasm, but Lu Xiaoxue stubbornly held on, and Su Wan beside him looked at the two of them with some confusion.
Xia Qingling stood on the steps and looked at the three children pulling each other, and could only smile helplessly.
The three of them were only 13 years old now, and they didn't know anything about love. They were probably just fighting for playmates.
At this time, Su Wan also saw Xia Qingxi, and no longer cared about Xia Qingcao and Lu Xiaoxue. She walked towards Xia Qingxi, handed her two crucian carps tied with straw ropes, and said,
"Fourth sister-in-law, these are the fish my brother just caught. I brought them to Third sister-in-law to replenish her body."
Luo Ya lived with Xia Qingxi, and the two Su families often sent things over. Xia Qingxi took the fish from Su Wan, thanked her, and invited her to have dinner.
Su Wan hurriedly said that she would not eat dinner, and she had to go home to cook dinner for her brother and father. After entering the house and calling Uncle Lu Baichuan, she said goodbye to the Lu family.
After Su Wan left, Lu Xiaoxue was obviously relieved. During dinner, she insisted on sitting next to Xia Qingcao and kept picking food for him, which made Qingcao feel embarrassed.
After dinner, Qingcao and Xia Guyu returned to the army together. Since Luoya moved in, Xia Qingshu moved to the single dormitory arranged by the Propaganda Department. Now he lives upstairs with Xia Guyu.
At night, he arranged a room for his father-in-law Lu Baichuan, and let Lu Xiaoxue and his mother sleep in the same room. After washing up, Xia Qingcao and Lu Jingqi lay on the bed.
Lu Jingchen hugged Xia Qingxi from behind, and Xia Qingxi said to him softly:
"My third sister-in-law will soon be full-term and may give birth at any time. From tomorrow, I will go to sleep with her. If there is any problem at night, I can find it first."
"Yes, okay." Lu Jingchen nodded in agreement.
"And..." Xia Qingxi hesitated for a moment, turned around and said to Lu Jingchen:
"I plan not to take the college entrance examination this year, but next year."
Now the documents have been issued, and the college entrance examination will be resumed in December this year. If I pass the college entrance examination, I will go to school. Tuantuan can't leave me, so my mother has to take the child and rent a house near the school.
Now Luoya is about to give birth again. If she leaves the army to go to school, she will not only have to live apart from Lu Jingshi, but also be unable to take care of Luoya.
Xia Qingqing feels guilty about Luoya. She thinks that if she had been more cautious at the time, and did not believe the plot in the novel so much, and told Lu Jingshi a more serious situation.
Or if Lu Jingshi had insisted on not letting Su Xiangnan go to the battlefield, perhaps Su Xiangnan would not have died.
But there is no if. Su Xiangnan's sacrifice is a fact. She can only make up for the regret and debt in her heart by being better to Luoya.
"Will the policy of the college entrance examination change next year? Can those who have children still take the college entrance examination?" Lu asked in shock and concern.
He has always known that Xia Qingliu really wants to take the college entrance examination and go to college. She postponed it for a year so that she could take care of Luoya.
In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that they felt guilty towards Su Xiangnan and Luoya.
"Of course, and the college entrance examination will be advanced to July next year." Xia Qingliu replied.
By then, Luoya's child will be more than half a year old, and it will be much easier to take care of her. Luoya has no family in her family, giving birth, confinement, taking care of a baby... During the most difficult times, she must help her a little.
"Okay." Lu Jingzhen thought about it and nodded. He knew that Xia Qingxi was from the future and she knew all these facts. Since she had made up her mind, he respected her decision.
"Ah... You don't have to blame yourself too much for the matter of the third brother." Lu Jingzhen hugged Xia Qingxi and said to her seriously:
"Things on the battlefield change rapidly. Even if you have the ability to predict the future, you can't predict what will happen in the middle."
Xia Qingxi's eyes were a little sour. She knew that war was cruel, and she also knew that Su Xiangnan was a soldier and it was his duty to defend the country.
Even if she told him clearly that his life would be in danger, he would make the same choice as later without hesitation.
However, the death of the third brother has forever become an unhealable wound in her and Lu Jingzhe's hearts.
She couldn't understand why Su Xiangnan couldn't escape the fate in the book even though she had changed the plot of the original book. Instead, she died earlier! She
felt that there must be some unknown reason, and this reason might be related to Mo Xiaoxiao.
Mo Xiaoxiao was now locked up in the detention room. A few days ago, Xia Qingxiang saw Mo Xiaoxiao when she accompanied Luo Ya for a checkup.
She was almost nine months pregnant and was sent to the hospital because of a sudden abdominal pain.
Now her mental state is obviously abnormal. She cries and laughs at times, and sometimes shows great fear.
When she saw Xia Qingxiong, she became more and more excited, saying words like dreaming, trading, cheating, backlash...some words that no one could understand.
At that moment, Xia Qingxiong began to suspect that what happened here might be related to Mo Xiaoxiao.
She also tried to communicate with Mo Xiaoxiao, but in Mo Xiaoxiao's current mental state, she couldn't ask anything.
Xia Qingxiong finished chatting with Lu Jingxie and was about to go to bed. At this time, there was a hurried knock on the door, accompanied by Guo Yumei's anxious voice:
"Xiaoxiong, come out quickly, Luoya is bleeding, I'm afraid she's going to give birth soon."
