Chapter 078 Pregnancy

Ji Qingyue did not doubt him and nodded again, and then he saw the first smile of Xiao Linzi in these days.

Just like himself, he smiled lightly, not showing his emotions. The corners of his mouth slightly raised an arc, his eyes were slightly bright, and there were little smiles in them. Ji

Qingyue's heart moved, and he said to him: "Children should smile more. If you have a stern face all day, you will be like an old man."

Xiao Linzi looked embarrassed, but this time he did not quickly lower his head and look away like before, but straightened his waist even more.

He took a deep breath, and after a while, it seemed that he finally made up his mind.

"This book doesn't have a name yet." He paused, and looked at Ji Qingyue steadily: "I wrote it."

Ji Qingyue was stunned, closed the book and took a look, then looked at Xiao Linzi.

After a moment of silence, he said: "No wonder I felt that the handwriting here was a little immature, it turned out to be you who wrote it?"

Xiao Linzi nodded shyly: "I copied this book, and wrote it very slowly. It is already the most beautiful handwriting I can write."

"Very good." Ji Qingyue said thoughtfully.

At this time, Yuan Ming was cooking in the kitchen.

They didn't cook for themselves in the past two days. It was raining today and it was inconvenient to go out, so they had time to cook. He prepared to make hot pot and called Master Li and Xiao Linzi to join.

The base ingredients have been fried, and the bone soup in the pottery pot is bubbling.

Yuan Ming sliced ​​the mutton he had just bought in the morning into thin slices and put them on a plate. The vegetables he used were from the yard, which Grandpa Li had just picked and washed by the well.

Everything was ready. Yuan Ming clapped his hands and was about to go out to call Ji Qingyue and Xiao Linzi to the kitchen. When he turned around, he saw Ji Qingyue poking her head in.

"Qingqing?" Yuan Ming was a little confused: "Why are you here?"

Ji Qingyue walked into the kitchen, looked around, and then said: "I remember that my husband has some friendship with Zhao, the shopkeeper of Qingshan Bookstore."

Yuan Ming's heart skipped a beat. Brother Jin hadn't published a new article for a long time. He hadn't heard that name from Ji Qingyue recently, and he had almost forgotten about him.

But although he felt a little guilty, his face was still calm.

"I used to work as a book copyist in Qingshan Bookstore. Now Li Jing is also there. I'm not close to Manager Zhao, but that bookstore is the property of King Yong, and the manager is indeed very polite to me."

Ji Qingyue nodded when she heard this.

"Just now in the main room, I saw a book. It was a book of short stories written from a child's perspective. It was very vivid and fascinating. Guess who wrote it?"

Yuan Ming's heart moved: "Xiao Linzi?"

Ji Qingyue nodded repeatedly: "I really didn't expect him to have such talent. He has only studied for one year. If he was born in a wealthy family and well-educated, he would definitely excel in the imperial examinations in the future."

"I want to help him but I can't be responsible for his life, so I want Manager Zhao to discover this piece of gold."

Yuan Ming understood now that Ji Qingyue mentioned Manager Zhao not because of him, but because of Xiao Linzi, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, as long as Xiao Linzi is willing, take what he wrote with you when we leave, and I'll show it to Manager Zhao."

Ji Qingyue threw herself into his arms: "My husband is so nice!"

Soon, Master Li came in with washed and dried vegetables and started eating mutton hotpot.

This mutton hotpot with a unique aroma was learned by Yuan Ming when he went to inspect the military camp in his previous life. It was a place in the far north with a cold and humid climate all year round. In order to eat something hot, the pot must be kept boiling. Years of experience have accumulated and formed a unique delicacy.

Yuan Ming cooked a hotpot at home during the Chinese New Year, and Ji Qingyue fell in love with the taste after eating it only once.

Luoxing Village has a hot and humid climate, and the locals have a strong taste for spicy food, so Yuan Ming made a spicy hot pot this time.

Several people sat around the stove in the kitchen, and the spicy aroma filled their noses, making them drool.

Yuan Ming served them brown rice and said, "Today's rice is a bit spicy. If you are not used to it, eat more rice and don't be stubborn."

He was looking at Ji Qingyue when he said this.

Ji Qingyue stuck out his tongue and said he got it, and urged him to hurry up.

The thinly cut lamb slices can be eaten after rolling around in the pot. Several people were so spicy that they gasped, but they still couldn't help but put their chopsticks into the pot.

After finishing the whole table of dishes, everyone had a satisfied smile on their faces.

Farmers can only eat meat a few times a year, let alone the expensive mutton.

Mr. Li felt that he had taken advantage of them, and when washing dishes, he said nothing to let Yuan Ming do it. Yuan Ming couldn't persuade him, so he had to agree .

Taking advantage of this time, he went to find Xiao Linzi and read the book that Ji Qingyue mentioned.

Having lived for two lifetimes, Yuan Ming has read at least 800 books, so he could tell at a glance that Xiao Linzi was indeed very talented.

His writing style is very young, and he looks at the world from a child's perspective, which is completely different from the writings of those so-called masters.

Yuan Ming also became interested, gave him a few pointers, and then took the book, which had no title yet, back.

The next day, the weather finally cleared up, and it was time for Yuan Ming and Ji Qingyue to leave.

Knowing that Ji Qingyue really liked the sour fruits in the village, he picked a lot of them and filled a bag.

Ji Qingyue's face was full of surprise, while Yuan Ming's teeth ached and he quickly opened his eyes.

It was another day of bumpy ride. When he first got on the carriage, Ji Qingyue was still full of energy and read the book that Xiao Linzi gave him with relish. However, it didn't take long before he became tired and lay on Yuan Ming's legs with a pale face.

Yuan Ming was a little worried because Ji Qingyue didn't feel so uncomfortable when he came here.

Thinking back to the past few days in Luoxing Village, Ji Qingyue would complain of being tired from time to time. He didn't take it seriously at the time, but now he is a little scared.

"I feel like vomiting." Ji Qingyue raised his head, pouted his lips, and said pitifully.

Yuan Ming's heart tightened, and he opened the curtain to ask the driver where they were.

The driver had heard the noise in the car a long time ago, and had already driven the car at the fastest speed. Hearing this, he replied: "It will take at least an hour and a half. If you are really uncomfortable, you can stop by the roadside to rest for a while."

Yuan Ming looked outside. They were now on the official road, but outside was all dense forests and no one was around.

As he hesitated, a hand grabbed him, and Yuan Ming looked down at Ji Qingyue.

Ji Qingyue shook her head at him: "I don't want to rest, it's not safe outside, it's better to go back early."

Yuan Ming held his hand and gently stroked it, then nodded.

"Keep going, go faster."

The driver responded, and flicked the whip to make the car go faster.

An hour later, they finally arrived in Cheng County. As soon as they entered the city, Yuan Ming quickly took Ji Qingyue to the clinic.

The white-bearded doctor frowned after taking Ji Qingyue's pulse.

Yuan Ming's heart suddenly lifted up: "What's wrong?"

The doctor looked at him with dissatisfaction: "Your husband is already two months pregnant. What have you been doing in the past few days? Now there are signs of miscarriage. You know, it is very difficult for a little brother to be pregnant. If a miscarriage hurts the body, there will be no chance in the future!"

These few words directly knocked Yuan Ming unconscious, and he couldn't recover for a long time.

Ji Qingyue was pregnant in the capital in her previous life. The relationship between the two was very different. Yuan Ming slapped his head, he should have thought of it earlier.

Liking sour food, sleepiness and fatigue, aren't these all symptoms after pregnancy!

Thinking of the story that old man Li told them, Yuan Ming couldn't help but sweat.

He quickly told Ji Qingyue about his visit to Luoxing Village to soak in the hot springs, then grabbed Ji Qingyue's hand and begged, "Please, doctor, please save our child. We were ignorant and will be careful in the future."

Seeing that he admitted his mistakes, the doctor's expression eased a little, and he took out a pen and paper to write a prescription: "Fortunately, your husband's physical condition is not bad. If he goes back and recuperates for a while, there shouldn't be any big problems."

After getting the prescription, Yuan Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, he noticed that Ji Qingyue was very abnormal. She hadn't said a word for such a long time.

"Qingqing, is there anything else that's wrong?"

The waiter went to get the medicine, and Yuan Ming helped Ji Qingyue sit down on a small stool in the rest area.

Ji Qingyue's complexion had eased, her lips were a little dry, and her eyes were dull.

Yuan Ming felt his forehead with some concern: "Qingqing?"

Ji Qingyue stretched out her hand and placed it on her belly, and said incredulously: "We have a child?"
