"Even if we don't want to, the higher-ups may not allow it."
"Okay, let's go play first."
The two of them were planning where to go all the way, but man proposes, God disposes, and their superiors did not give them any chance to breathe.
When they got home, Qi Siling first asked her to go to her mother's room to say hello, and then she went to the kitchen to make some midnight snacks.
In the Security Department, the two of them had no chance to cook their own meals. The food they had made at home was stored in the space, but the aroma was too strong and it was not convenient to take it out and eat.
Qi Siling fiddled with the steamer for a while, steamed a basket of lobsters and scallops, and also made a flavored crab.
When it’s done, I put it away directly into the space, clean up the kitchen, and go straight back to the backyard.
Xia Youyou had just come out of the shower, wrapped in a goose down jacket, tightly wrapped from head to toe.
Because it wasn't particularly cold yet, Liu Hui didn't light the fire wall, and she didn't know they would suddenly come back tonight. Seeing her like this, she couldn't help but feel distressed, "Mom, go light the fire wall."
"No need." Xia Youyou sat beside her and looked at the fabric on the sewing machine. "Is this for my brother?"
"Well, his is done. This is Xiao Hai's."
Her hands kept moving, pushing the fabric through the needle quickly. Xia Youyou took out a pen and paper, sat next to her and began to write and draw on the paper.
Seeing her well-behaved appearance, Liu Hui felt a tenderness in her heart. But remembering her previous worries, she hesitated to speak.
Seeing her like this, Xia Youyou stopped writing and asked, "Mom, do you have anything to say?"
"No." She lowered her head and pedaled again.
"Mom." Xia Youyou held her hand, forcing her to stop. "Is there anything we can't say?"
Liu Hui put down the cloth, grabbed her white and tender little hand, and looked at her flat belly.
"You two have been married for a year, why is there still no news?"
Xia Youyou didn't understand what she was talking about. She followed her gaze and looked at her stomach. Then she reacted and was about to speak when she was interrupted.
"You have pain every time you have your period. Is there something wrong with your body? Do you want to see a doctor? Mom asked someone to find an old Chinese doctor to take a look at you. We can prescribe some Chinese medicine for you. Your scanner definitely doesn't have this function."
"Mom." Xia Youyou held her hand tightly and looked at her with amusement, "Mom, what are you thinking about? I'm fine."
At this time, Qi Siling brought in a small square table. The door was open, and he heard everything Liu Hui said.
"mom."
After saying hello to Liu Hui, she placed the table next to the sewing machine and put out the prepared midnight snacks. The fragrance instantly filled the entire room.
"Mom, I made some food, let's eat together."
"Just eat it, I'm afraid I won't be able to digest it if I eat it at night." Liu Hui waved her hands repeatedly. The topic was interrupted, and she didn't know if Qi Siling heard what they said just now.
Xia Youyou pulled her to sit on the chair, "Don't worry, Mom, eat. I'll get you some digestive medicine later."
I know that she usually doesn’t bother with food or clothes at home, and now that she has finally come back, I must give her better nutrition!
Liu Hui couldn't persuade her and could only take the lobster meat that Qi Siling handed over.
"Be good, try the crab and see if it tastes like what you want."
Xia Youyou took it, put it in her mouth, took a bite, and nodded, "It's delicious."
Qi Siling smoothed her hair, making sure it was dry, then turned to Liu Hui.
"Mom, I don't want a child."
Liu Hui looked incredulous, "How can you not have children?" She was from this era. Chinese people valued the continuation of the family line. If you don't have children, people will definitely talk about you behind your back.
Qi Siling knew what she was thinking and patiently explained, "Mom, my biological mother also had a heart disease. She died after giving birth to me."
Liu Hui's heart trembled and she was speechless.
"Having Youyou is enough for me in this life." He stroked Xia Youyou's head, looking sincerely into Liu Hui's eyes, "Mom, I can't bear the pain of losing Youyou. Having children or not doesn't make a difference. There are so many children in the family, and they all have consciences. When we are old, you just need to help us find a burial site together. It will be my repayment for their kindness."
Liu Hui felt so sad that she couldn't say a word.
"Even if they weren't here, Brother Cao would definitely not be willing to leave us alone." Qi Siling picked up the lobster's claws and hammered them open with a hammer.
"Mom, it doesn't matter what outsiders say. We live our lives for ourselves, and others can't influence us. At worst, I can take Youyou to a secluded place, plant flowers, raise birds, walk the dog, play with the cat, and live a secluded life behind closed doors. Isn't that good?"
"Okay," Liu Hui muttered, her uneasy heart soothed by his words. "Giving birth is a woman's deathbed, so it's better not to give birth." She looked at the little girl eating heartily, sighed and shook her head, "It's only because of you. If it were anyone else, who knows how much suffering this girl would have endured."
Qi Siling was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "It won't be anyone else." How could he possibly give other flies the chance to hover around this little girl?
Knowing she had made a mistake, Liu Hui took a bite of the lobster meat and said, "This meat is quite delicious."
"It tastes better with this soup." Xia Youyou put the dipping sauce in front of her as if nothing had happened.
"You are such a heartless little thing." Liu Hui scolded with a smile and said nothing more.
How could Xia Youyou really be unconscious? It was just that this body wasn't ready for childbirth yet. When conditions improved and medical technology advanced, with surgery, maybe she could have a child for fun. She was young now; in twenty years, she would only be 39.
But now is not the time to say this. Qi Siling is determined and will not take the risk. It is better not to affect his mood.
The three of them had a big meal in the room. Liu Hui stood up to clean up but was stopped by Qi Siling.
"Mom, let me do it." After saying that, he put the table into the space, "I'll go to the kitchen to clean up."
Xia Youyou stood up and took Liu Hui's hand, "Mom, let's go downstairs and take a walk in the yard."
"good."
The three of them went downstairs together. Cao An and Xiao Hai were not at home, and usually Liu Hui lived alone. Because they had a secret, they were all family members at home, so they could take things out without restraint. Aunt Li and Aunt Yao lived in the staff dormitory at the guesthouse, and only went back to their own home occasionally.
Liu Hui and Xia Youyou turned on the lights under the eaves and walked around in circles in the yard to help digest their food.
"Did my brother and the others say when they would be back?"
"He said he'd taken a month off and would come back to take the final exams, but he didn't specify when he would be back."
The final exams are at the beginning of January, so they should be back at the end of the month.
Speaking of this, Liu Hui smiled mysteriously, "Your brother said that he would confess his love to Naru when he came back this time. You will soon have a sister-in-law."
