At night, Gu Ye and Jiang Yue stayed in the county town.
Last year, Jiang Yue attended the college entrance examination cram school while pregnant. At first, she rented a house next to the county’s No. 1 Middle School so that she could rest nearby at noon. Later, she thought the house was nice, so she simply bought it and renovated it so that she would have a place to stay when she came back in the future.
Before Jiang Yue came back, Wu Xianfeng and his wife had already come over to clean the house and dried and washed the quilts.
"Dad, Mom! Brother!"
It was already late when Jiang Yue and Gu Ye came back. As soon as the car stopped, Jiang Yue saw Ning Ning standing at the gate of the yard waving at her.
"Ningning!" Jiang Yue was overjoyed and hurried to open the door and get out of the car.
"Be careful!" Gu Ye was afraid that Jiang Yue and Gu Chu would fall, so he hurriedly got out of the car and opened the door for her.
“Mom and Dad!”
Ningning has already pounced over.
"Ningning!" Jiang Yue pushed Gu Chu into Gu Ye's hands, squatted down, opened his arms and hugged Ningning.
Gu Ye: “…”
Gu Chu also opened his eyes wide and looked at his mother beside him. He saw his mother holding another child. The little kid's mouth was pouting and he looked like he was about to cry.
Gu Ye quickly patted his son. Looking at Jiang Yue and Ning Ning hugging each other, he couldn't help but curl his lips. If an outsider saw this scene, he would definitely not be able to tell which one was Jiang Yue's biological child!
"Ningning, let mommy see you. You've grown taller and prettier! Our Ningning is a big girl now!" Jiang Yue hadn't seen Ningning for a long time. She and Ningning had been separated since she left Qingshan County for Beijing in August last year.
At that time, she did mention that she wanted to take Ningning to the capital, but Mrs. Shi was reluctant to let Ningning go. Ningning also knew that Mrs. Shi was her biological mother and that her biological mother needed her, so she took the initiative to ask Jiang Yue to stay and accompany her biological mother.
Deep down, Jiang Yue definitely hopes that Ningning will go to the capital with her and Gu Ye, as the education and conditions there are better, but she cannot deprive Shi's sister-in-law and Ningning of the right to spend time together as biological mother and daughter.
After discussing with Gu Ye and Shi's sister-in-law, they decided to wait until Ningning went to elementary school before going to the capital.
Jiang Yue really treats Ningning as her own daughter, so she hopes that Ningning can live a good life in the future.
Shi's sister-in-law and Shi's eldest brother stood behind Ningning and greeted Jiang Yue and Gu Ye, "Captain Gu, sister-in-law!"
After a few pleasantries, they walked into the yard together.
Jiang Yue originally fell in love with this house mainly because of its good location. It has three large tiled houses with yards in front and back. After renovation, it looks brand new. Usually, Wu Xianfeng and his wife, and Shi's sister-in-law come to clean it every once in a while.
"Mom, Uncle, can I sleep here tonight?" Ningning had been looking forward to sleeping with Jiang Yue since she learned that Jiang Yue was coming back. She has been holding Jiang Yue's hand since she saw her, showing great attachment.
"Okay!" When Mrs. Shi saw Ningning and Jiang Yue being so intimate in the past, she felt jealous. After all, it was the child she had conceived and given birth to with great difficulty, but the child called another woman mother and was so intimate with another woman. She felt uncomfortable.
But later, after seeing how well Jiang Yue treated Ningning and how she taught Ningning to be well-educated, polite, kind and lovely, she no longer had such jealous thoughts.
After seeing off the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Shi family, Jiang Yue held Ningning and sat on the sofa. She had many questions to ask Ningning, and Ningning also had a lot to say to Jiang Yue.
Gu Ye held Gu Chu and wanted to take Gu Chu into the house to change his diaper, but Gu Chu refused to leave. His big black eyes kept staring at Jiang Yue. No matter which direction Gu Ye turned him, Gu Chu's little head would turn back and stare at Jiang Yue, babbling from his little mouth, as if protesting against his mother ignoring him.
Gu Ye had no choice but to hold Gu Chu and sit aside.
"Mom, my brother is so cute!" Ningning's attention was attracted by the "babbling" sound made by Gu Chu, and she walked over and pinched Gu Chu's little hand.
After a while, Gu Chu was amused by the funny faces Ningning made and started laughing.
Jiang Yue and Gu Ye looked at each other and smiled.
At night, after coaxing Gu Chu to sleep, Ning Ning also fell asleep. Jiang Yue and Gu Ye were packing up in the main room. They brought back too many things this time, all kinds of gifts, which all needed to be sorted out.
"Gu Ye, Shi's sister-in-law might be pregnant!" Jiang Yue thought about it and decided to tell Gu Ye the news.
Gu Ye was tidying up Gu Chu's clothes. He paused when he heard this. He looked up at Jiang Yue and asked, "How did you know?"
"Ningning said so!" Jiang Yue replied, "She said that Shi's sister-in-law told her that she was going to have a little brother."
Jiang Yue didn't hear Gu Ye's voice. She turned her head and saw that Gu Ye was distracted.
"Gu Ye, are you still feeling upset?" Jiang Yue put down what she was holding, walked to Gu Ye, and pulled him to sit on the sofa.
Gu Ye was silent for a moment, his eyes lowered, "It's nothing to be upset about, this is her own choice! I'm an outsider and have no right to interfere!"
Jiang Yue placed her hand on Gu Ye's chest and said softly, "The dead are dead, and the living must move forward!"
"Um!"
The reason why Jiang Yue asked this was because she knew that Gu Ye could not let go of Squad Leader Shi in his heart, he just didn't say it out loud.
Gu Ye would go to the Martyrs' Cemetery in Shanghai to visit Squad Leader Shi every year. When Shi's sister-in-law wanted to marry Shi's eldest brother, Gu Ye didn't say anything, but in fact he couldn't accept it.
Now that Mrs. Shi is pregnant, Gu Ye can't help but think of Squad Leader Shi again.
Jiang Yue put her arm around Gu Ye's shoulders and whispered softly, "Actually, I think it's a good thing that Shijia's sister-in-law is pregnant!"
Gu Ye looked up at her, and Jiang Yue expressed her thoughts.
When Mrs. Shi was still pregnant, she learned the news of her husband's death. She was so shocked that she gave birth prematurely. As soon as she gave birth to Ningning, she was taken home by her family to find a husband for her. Soon after, she became mentally ill and was sent to a mental hospital.
This is a poor woman.
Mrs. Shi likes children and she values Ningning very much. Ningning refused to go to the capital with them, so naturally, Mrs. Shi, Ningning's biological mother, was there to teach her behind the scenes.
Otherwise, how could Ningning, a child of three or four years old, say those words?
But Jiang Yue was not disgusted by what Shi's sister-in-law did. After all, what was wrong with a poor mother who loved her children and just wanted to spend more time with her children?
But Jiang Yue felt sorry for Ningning, who was so young, having to bear so much.
If Mrs. Shi gave birth to another child, her attention would be diverted from Ningning, and Ningning's psychological pressure would be much less.
Later, Jiang Yue wants to take Ningning to study in Beijing, and Shi's sister-in-law will probably not object anymore.
The couple chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, they went to bed.
Gu Ye came back this time for some personal matters. The next morning, he added firewood to the heating stove and went out.
When Jiang Yue woke up, she didn't see Gu Ye and knew that he had gone out to do something.
It was freezing cold outside, but the house was warm. Gu Chu woke up earlier than Ningning and was babbling and calling for his mother.
Jiang Yue held her son and played with him for a while, and Ningning woke up.
There was the sound of a door opening in the yard. It was Gu Ye who came back.
