Chapter 246: Visitors from Luhua Town
Cui Qingyi didn't expect that she would come to the village chief's house empty-handed. Except for the doorman, no one else was at home.
After asking, I found out that Chen Ma took Man Yue, Xiao Bai and Konjac back to Huaihua Lane, and two servants followed Qiao Yishi to the fields to help.
Taozhi sighed, "It seems Wangcai is smarter than all of us."
Back at the village chief's residence, everyone was visibly relaxed.
Jing Wei knew that Cui Qingyi had just returned and would definitely have a good talk with the people around her, so he took his people back to their own house halfway.
Before leaving, Amu was still a little reluctant. Their house was deserted and it was not as lively as being with the village chief.
Even Snowball, who was standing on Jing Wei's shoulder, was a little confused. They were all walking together, so why did they separate? It hadn't finished eating the dried meat yet.
Jing Wei didn't care about these two people. He made an appointment with Cui Qingyi and rode away first. He was anxious to go home and make a comfortable nest for his adopted goose.
Yes, the betrothal goose that was supposed to be delivered to him on the day of the betrothal was now taken away by him.
I have to say that Amu is very good at taking care of animals. No matter whether it is the wild black wolf or the stubborn goose, they all undergo a qualitative change in a short time under his hands.
Just like the two geese in the cage, they eat and drink every day and seem to have forgotten how proud and unyielding they are.
This is the advantage of having many people in the family. Cui Qingyi got off the carriage and went straight to wash and rest, while Nanny Cui stayed in the yard to sort out the things she brought back.
Cui Qingyi brought back a lot of specialties from Qinghe City during this trip, including but not limited to fabrics, snacks, toys, etc., and every time she went to a place, she would bring back some small gadgets with local characteristics, and gradually she even had an extra carriage.
Konjac greeted Aunt Cui and others, then hurried into Cui Qingyi's bedroom.
Cui Qingyi had already taken a hot bath, changed into comfortable home clothes, and with her black hair loose, she was carefully sorting out the small clothes she had prepared for the baby in Konjac's belly along the way.
There are bellybands, small jackets and shorts, as well as jumpsuits, padded jackets and small cotton jackets embroidered with the cartoon characters Wangcai, Heiya and Shuofeng.
Every piece made by her is exquisite and unique, and even Cui Qingyi herself can't put it down.
When Konjac saw the things, she knew they were for her. She couldn't cry at all. Her heart and eyes were filled with joy.
"The girl is really enjoying herself on this trip and doesn't want to leave."
Seeing Konjac's pouting lips that looked like they could hang a bottle of oil on them, Cui Qingyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "How can I forget about you? I miss you day and night. Just look if you don't believe me."
"I saw some nice material in Qinghe City. The color is bright and it's perfect for your fair skin. You can wear it after you finish your confinement."
Cui Qingyi handed a pink and white skirt that was placed separately to Konjac. Konjac picked it up and looked at it from left to right. "Is this the new popular style in Qinghe City? It's really beautiful."
If she wasn't pregnant, Konjac would have wanted to try it right away.
Cui Qingyi smiled and shook her head: "I made this specially for you. It's one of a kind in the world."
Hearing this, Konjac didn't say anything, but held the pink and white dress and looked at it again and again, her eyes full of cherishment and tenderness.
She thought that there was probably no one else in the world who would make a one-of-a-kind dress just for her.
After the two talked for a while and got to know each other's recent situation, Cui Qingyi turned her gaze to Ju Konjac's belly.
"How long does the doctor say the baby will last?"
"There's still more than a month left. I really want to give birth quickly. I can't walk properly with this big belly dragging around every day. I've even been going to the girls' school less often lately. Luckily, I have Li Miao to help me."
At this point, Konjac suddenly patted his chest and said in a very relieved tone, "Now when I go out on the street, I get scared when I see young girls with big bellies. Girls, how come they're not scared at all when they're so young?"
Cui Qingyi thought for a moment and said, "Maybe everyone around you has gone through the same thing, so you don't think it's a big deal. You have a good body, and this pregnancy is going smoothly. I'll have Doctor Lu come over to watch over you during the birth, and I'm sure you'll have a safe delivery."
A woman who has just given birth should avoid worrying too much, so Cui Qingyi didn't want to talk about anything else with Konjac.
In fact, ever since he saw Cui Qingyi, Konjac's heart, which had been in turmoil for a long time, had calmed down a lot. Now, after hearing what Cui Qingyi said, the remaining anxiety completely disappeared without a trace.
The girl she grew up with and depended on was right here. Not only was she not afraid of giving birth to a child, she wasn't even afraid of mountains of swords and seas of fire.
In the evening, Mother Chen made several kinds of braised noodles.
Cui Qingyi ate two bowls of food. If Aunt Cui hadn't stopped her for fear that she would get sick, Cui Qingyi felt that she could have had another half bowl.
After drinking a bowl of noodle soup, Cui Qingyi felt relieved and wanted to sigh: "I have been thinking about Chen Ma's noodles since I went out. Now I can finally satisfy my craving."
There are few people in the family, so they don't have to eat separately. Except for the doorman and a few others who eat outside, everyone else eats in the dining room at mealtime.
Taozhi agreed: "Who says it's not true? Although the food outside is delicious, it's far inferior to Chen Ma's cooking."
Even Wangcai gulped down two large bowls of noodles. Aunt Chen was so happy with everyone's chatter that she started to prepare what to eat tomorrow before the meal was over.
Compared to the lively atmosphere at the village chief's mansion, Jing Wei's mansion was much quieter. In the evening, Amu bought food from outside, and everyone ate in a daze and went back to their rooms to sleep.
It was clearly no different from their previous life in the north, but it just felt like something was missing.
Jing Wei was even more deeply touched. During these days on the road, he had meals with Cui Qingyi. After meals, they would sit together and talk, read a book, or play a game of chess. In short, he had never been so quiet.
It was so quiet that he felt a little lost.
At night, Konjac abandoned Qiao Yishi and stayed at the village chief's house and slept with Cui Qingyi.
When waiting to blow out the lights and go to sleep, Konjac suddenly remembered something.
"A month ago, someone from Luhua Town down below came and said he wanted to see you, but when he found out you weren't here, he went back."
Lying on the large bed she hadn't seen in a long time, Cui Qingyi's head was already beginning to feel hazy. Hearing the name Luhua Town, she didn't react for a moment. After a moment, a flash of light crossed her mind. "Luhua Town, I remember in the document where His Majesty conferred the title of Township Lord, that place seemed to be my fiefdom?"
As a village chief, she was really humble. Although she was said to have a fief, in fact, it was just that the emperor issued an order and the officials of the Ministry of Revenue randomly pointed to a place on the map of Dongping County as her fief.
Cui Qingyi vaguely remembered that the name written in the document seemed to be Luhua Town.
Konjac was also confused. "Ah, but it's not the end of the year yet and it's time to send money and food."
Cui Qingyi was extremely sleepy. "Forget it. I'll definitely come back if anything happens."
Konjac thought so too. If there was something important, that person would definitely come again.
After hearing this, Cui Qingyi quickly put the matter out of her mind.
