When Song Jiayin saw the two pheasants in Ning Xiyue's hands, she imagined a scene in her mind without Ning Xiyue saying anything. She was so moved that she burst into tears. The tears came without any preparation.
"Yueyue, thank you for working hard all day to make sure I can have a good meal. Woohoo, you must have worked hard, baby. Go and thank your aunt."
"Don't cry, don't cry. It's not good for your health. I just picked it up while I was out playing. Come on, let's stew a chicken. You watch from the side. We can also make a feather duster with the feathers."
It is really difficult to control the emotions of a pregnant woman. Ning Xiyue tried to calm her down in a hurry. She brought a plate of apples and took everyone to sit aside. She went to find her second brother who was killing a chicken to get chicken feathers to make a feather duster.
Ning Xiyue went to the yard and cut a small bamboo pole to tie the chicken. Song Jiayin helped pass the sorted chicken feathers and occasionally touched her belly.
Looking at her sister-in-law's belly, Ning Xiyue thought of her elder brother whom she met today. She didn't know when he would come back, and he didn't want to wait until her little niece was born.
By then, I saw a little girl in the yard with a confused look on her face. Just thinking about it made me feel funny and sad.
However, the scene that Ning Xiyue imagined obviously could not happen.
Mid-March.
The self-defense counterattack ended with our great victory.
End of March.
There was a knock on the Ning family's door.
"Who's there? They're here." Yun Xiulan was washing vegetables in the yard. When she heard the knock on the door, she said to Ning Xiyue who was sitting next to her, "Yueyue, go open the door."
"good."
Ning Xiyue put down the pen she was using to do her homework, stood up and ran out to open the door.
When I opened the door, wow, what a joy!
Aren’t those the two brothers outside the door who have not returned since leaving home at the end of August last year?
The two brothers were in high spirits, carrying a small cloth bag and some things, and looked at her and greeted her with smiles on their faces.
"Little sister."
"Yueyue."
"Brother, A'Yan! You're back, come in quickly." Ning Xiyue walked into the house happily, holding her child's arm in arm, and shouted with all her might, "Mom, Dad, Sister-in-law, Brother and A'Yan are back."
After Ning Xiyue finished shouting, she heard an excited voice coming from inside, and looked at her eldest brother and asked impatiently:
"Brother, did you know that your sister-in-law is pregnant? You will soon have a little girl, and you will be able to meet her in three months."
"I know, I know. I saw the letter you wrote. I rushed back as soon as the matter was settled. Now, I'm going to visit your sister-in-law first."
As Ning Qingzhi stepped through the gate, he ran inside while talking.
"It's different for those who have wives and daughters. They run faster." Ning Xiyue sighed, shaking her head.
"My elder brother was so excited on the way that he kept telling me that he had a little girl. My ears are almost callused from hearing it. But when I think about seeing you soon, I forgive him." She heard Ji Yanming's hearty laughter in her ears. When she looked up, she saw a pair of eyes filled with smiles, affectionate and with countless longing, looking at her tenderly.
Oh no, this look is unbearable!
The next second, he was heard whispering in a sour and aggrieved voice, "Everyone thinks they won't have a little girl in the future. We'll have one sooner or later, right, Yueyue?"
Ning Xiyue, who was led astray, looked at him: Your eyes are quite pretty. The little girl will definitely be beautiful if she inherits her father's genes.
"Yueyue?" Ji Yanming looked at the dazed Ning Xiyue and called out again.
"Hey, little girl!" Ning Xiyue retracted her gaze, stopping the thoughts in her head from spreading. After all, they were both her lovers, so she looked at him and replied frankly, "That depends on your ability. You can't just have a little girl. The probability of having a boy or a girl is 50-50. It's not something I can decide."
Ning Xiyue paused and glared at him: "Besides, we're not married yet, so the idea of a daughter or a son is just empty talk."
Ji Yanming was stunned for a moment, then he was ecstatic and quickly took out all the salary and bonuses he had saved in the past few months from his pocket, as well as a first-class merit medal and handed them to Ning Xiyue.
He took out another box and opened it, revealing the golden ring and gold necklace inside, and handed it to Ning Xiyue, speaking seriously.
"Yueyue, I didn't smile much before, but since I met you, no matter where you are, you can always move my emotions and make me smile."
"I'm so happy you agreed to be my partner. When I received your letter, I ran dozens of laps around the training ground. Every time I went on a mission, I'd glance at your picture and think of you waiting for me back home. It gave me endless strength."
"On the way back this time, I saw my eldest brother talking about his family, his sister-in-law, and his little niece. I pretended to dislike him, but in my heart I was secretly envious. A strong thought was swirling in my mind."
"The moment I saw you standing in front of me with a smile on your face, I was certain that I wanted to build a warm home with you. We would rely on each other, love each other, and support each other for our entire lives. We would also give birth to a beautiful little girl, love her together, take care of her, and watch her grow up happily."
Ji Yanming looked into the depths of her eyes with sincere eyes and asked softly, "Yueyue, can you give me this chance?"
Ning Xiyue blinked her moist eyes, put all the money into her pocket, and put the medal into a bag separately without any hesitation. She handed the box to Ji Yanming, raised the ring finger of her right hand to him, and spoke in a soft and calm tone.
"Put it on me and let me see if it fits."
"Why!!"
Ji Yanming responded with joy, and swiftly took out the gold ring from the box and carefully put it on Ning Xiyue's ring finger.
He then took out the gold necklace from the box and helped her put it around her neck.
After putting it on, she praised him: "Yueyue, you look so beautiful."
Ning Xiyue admired the ring on her hand with satisfaction, and touched the necklace on her neck. It was quite nice and not old-fashioned at all. She didn't know where she learned this, but she also knew to buy a gold ring and a gold necklace to propose. It was quite what she liked. She liked shiny gold, and the size was just right. It was obvious that it was a long-planned thing.
Ning Xiyue raised her head and looked at him, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she nodded with a smile in her eyes: "Well, it's quite suitable. Then I will give you this opportunity!"
Ji Yanming was overjoyed and hugged Ning Xiyue tightly, crying with joy. His eyes were slightly moist and his voice was a little choked: "Yueyue, thank you, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely treat you well, love you, listen to you, and let you make the decisions at home. I... I am so happy today!!"
“Pah pah pah—”
There was warm applause behind me.
Ning Xiyue was startled and turned around to see that the whole family was standing in front of the hanging flower gate, watching them, with different expressions on their faces.
