After a day of strolling around the Summer Palace, my legs no longer felt like my own.
At this moment, Song Shuqian had to take a rest after walking every two steps, and it was difficult for her to even return to the hotel. But the spirit is satisfied. Although there is no trace of the Yong Dynasty architecture here, it is a visual feast.
The Tower of Buddhist Incense, the Hall of Dispelling Clouds, the Sea of Wisdom, each building carries historical and cultural connotations.
After returning from the Summer Palace, Song Shuxi fell asleep leaning on Wei Jianguo on the bus.
Wei Jianguo felt a little distressed.
Shuxi was already having a hard time because of her pregnancy, and she also walked such a long distance today. He selectively forgot that it was Song Shuxi's own decision to go out and play, and she was very much looking forward to it.
Wei Jianguo raised his arms to protect Song Shuxi, preventing her from slipping down in her sleep.
The auntie sitting behind them said in a harsh voice, "Young people nowadays are so shameless. They hug each other in public. How can it be considered shameless. Sleeping in front of a car full of men is really unfaithful to a woman. If this happened to our daughter-in-law, she would have rushed back long ago."
Wei Jianguo was worried that his words would wake up Song Shuxi, so he turned around and gave the old lady a cold look, warning her to speak in a lower voice.
After seeing this, the aunt became unhappy and started yelling, saying that he was threatening her.
Although it is true, who says you can't intimidate others with your eyes?
Wei Jianguo said coldly, "My wife is pregnant, sleepy, and easily tired."
The aunties and sisters who were originally watching the fun, when they heard that it was a pregnant woman, all offered to help. They just like to watch the fun. They are not bad people. They are all women. When they see Song Shuxi being accused, they can't help but feel sympathy for her.
Song Shuxi woke up in the middle of a quarrel. Even though Wei Jianguo covered her ears as quickly as possible, she still heard it.
The auntie shouted, "You look like a soldier, and soldiers are there to protect the people. Now that I have my eyes on your seat, you have to give it to me. This is called respecting the old and loving the young.
The way you are dressed, I can tell your will has been corrupted by sugar-coated bullets. Give me the watch. I am poor, but I can wear it. "
Wei Jianguo always remembered that he was a soldier and should not have conflicts with ordinary people, so in this situation, he forced himself to endure it and get back at the person behind the scenes.
Song Shuqian can't care about so many things.
"What's wrong with the soldiers? Do the soldiers owe you? Not only do they have to face harassment from an idiot like you, but they also have to pay money and materials to satisfy your demands. Where do you live? I want to go to your unit and the neighborhood committee to find out if you are born a bad person or you specifically pick on soldiers to cause trouble."
In her previous life, Song Shuxi had disguised herself as a man and lived in a military camp. Her aura was so strong that no housewife could resist it.
Although her body was already very scared, she still said stubbornly, "How can you, a young man, not know how to respect the elderly and love the young? You are such an old lady."
Song Shuqian didn't want to cause trouble either. "Respecting the elderly is based on the premise that they are worthy of respect. I was sitting in the car and you were cursing and asking me to respect you. Forget it, I don't understand the rules of the city.
I hope your children will meet aunts like you when they go out in the future and will respect you well. "
After saying that, Song Shuqian stopped talking.
Continue to rest leaning on Wei Jianguo.
The aunt wanted to say something but was suppressed by the people around her.
People in Sijiu City are very concerned about their reputation. When they meet someone who makes them lose face, they can only ask her to speak less and embarrass herself less.
This little episode did not affect Song Shuxi's mood. She and Wei Jianguo took the bus to Donglaishun. What could be more satisfying than having a mutton hotpot after a tiring day?
The two of them arrived early and didn't need to queue, so they followed the waiter to their seats.
The service at Dong Lai Shun is much better than that at state-owned restaurants. "What do you want to order?"
"One pound of Inner Mongolian mutton, one pound of lamb brain, one portion of frozen tofu, one portion of green vegetables, two heads of pickled garlic, and half a pound of noodles. This is all I need for now. Can I add more if it's not enough?"
"You can add it. We have fresh fish balls and squid today. Do you want them?" asked the waitress.
Song Shuxi was almost starving to death. She hadn't been so hungry since she became pregnant. At this moment, she felt like she could eat a whole cow. "Yes, I want half a pound of fish balls.
While waiting for the meal, Song Shuxi stared at the copper pot in a trance. She remembered that the copper pot hot pot was because Kublai Khan wanted to eat braised mutton, but the cook felt that there was not enough time, so he made it on his own initiative. Unexpectedly, Kublai Khan liked it all of a sudden.
After all the dishes were served, Wei Jianguo personally boiled the meat. He managed the time very well, 13 seconds, no more, no less, and the boiled mutton was tender and delicious. Song Shuqian had no time to praise and ate happily one bite after another.
When she came to her senses, she was shocked to find that she had eaten a pound of mutton, half a plate of tofu, half a plate of vegetables, and seven or eight fish balls.
Wei Jianguo was very satisfied. He liked his wife to have a big mouth. In his opinion, being able to eat is a blessing.
Song Shuqian pushed Wei Jianguo and said, "Eat quickly. You have been busy taking care of me."
Wei Jianguo started eating only after making sure she was full.
Song Shuqian was worried that he wouldn't have enough to eat, so she added two kilograms of mutton.
Donglaishun’s mutton is shipped from the prairie of Inner Mongolia. It has no smell and is very delicious.
People at this time lack meat, oil, and nutrition.
Although Wei Jianguo usually eats well, he rarely eats meat, especially mutton.
One person wiped out a whole table.
When the two of them were paying the bill, the waiter looked at the bill with shock written all over his face. It's almost like saying directly that the two of them are good-for-nothings and spendthrifts.
The couple left Donglaishun and slowly walked back to the hotel.
I ate so much that I couldn't sit down.
The rice is stuck in my throat.
Lying in bed at night, Song Shuxi was groaning and couldn't sleep. She was too full and felt very uncomfortable. Wei Jianguo didn't dare to rub her belly. The doctor told them to try not to touch her belly for no reason, for fear that the baby would be in an abnormal position.
I could only help her walk around the room in small steps. But Song Shuqian had walked too much during the day and didn't want to walk any more.
The couple didn't go to bed until after ten o'clock in the evening.
In this era, there is no nightlife. Generally, it is time to go to bed when it gets dark.
The next day, Song Shuxi slept in for a rare time and woke up at half past eight. Wei Jianguo had already finished his morning exercise and went to the sofa to read a book.
Now, he spends all his little free time studying, hoping to narrow the distance between him and Song Shuxi so that they can have a common language in the future.
Wei Jianguo remembered that once he was feeling very inferior, and his wife said that if a couple lives together, they need to get along with each other. Where you are better than me, I learn from you, and where I am better than you, you learn from me.
In marriage, if you walk fast, I will wait for you. If I walk fast, I will wait for you. We will move forward hand in hand.
From then on, Wei Jianguo never felt inferior again, because he knew that his wife would always be with him.
Now I have two little babies in my belly.
Seeing that Wei Jianguo was thinking about something, Song Shuqian did not disturb him. She got up and went to the bathroom to clean herself up.
When Wei Jianguo came back to his senses, he saw Song Shuqian coming out of the shower.
"Wife, are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"
It would have been fine if he didn't say it. As soon as he said it, Song Shuxi felt like all the mutton from yesterday was in her stomach.
"I'm not hungry. I won't eat anymore. I haven't digested the mutton from yesterday. Now I understand why I eat so many meals a day. All those meals combined are almost the same as yesterday's meal."
Wei Jianguo was amused by her.
