Chapter 331 The Moment of Farewell

Early the next morning, when Song Qinian woke up, he saw nothing around him.

The sounds of pots and pans came from the kitchen. Song Qinian put on his military uniform, stood up and walked out of the house. Bai Wei walked in from outside holding a bowl of dumplings.

The dumplings were all filled to the brim and were steaming.

"Come here, try the dumplings I just made this morning."

Bai Wei put the dumplings away and served Song Qinian a vinegar dish.

Song Qinian sat down, took a bite of the dumpling, and immediately smiled.

"It's stuffed with green onions and pork, delicious!"

The first bite revealed the rich juice and lingering fragrance, which even aroused the gluttony in Song Qinian's stomach. He picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Bai Wei sat aside, watching Song Qinian quietly finish a whole plate of dumplings in one breath, with a faint smile on his lips.

"belch……"

At the end of the meal, Song Qinian couldn't help but burp.

He glanced at the empty plate and then realized that Bai Wei hadn't eaten any of it, and Xiao Meng and Chen Fangfang were not at the table either.

"Why don't you eat? Where are Xiao Meng and Fang Fang's?"

Song Qinian asked, and Bai Wei took his hand and said.

"Xiao Meng and Fang Fang are eating in the kitchen. I'm keeping my portion for myself. Just eat until you're full."

Bai Wei took out her handkerchief and wiped the corner of Song Qinian's mouth.

Today, Song Qinian is going to leave for the capital with Lu Mingyao. The last time they were separated was when Song Qinian went to participate in a competition. To be honest, Bai Wei still feels reluctant to let him go.

What Song Qinian didn't know was that Bai Wei went to find Sister Fengzhu and Sister Shufen, and borrowed some pork from them. She added the little pork she had at home and put it all together to make a big plate of dumplings for Song Qinian. She, Xiaomeng and Fangfang didn't eat any of them.

"After I'm gone, you have to take good care of yourself."

Song Qinian took out a wad of money from his bag and put it in Bai Wei's hand.

"Where did you get this money?"

Bai Wei took a look and thought that the total amount of money was at least seventy or eighty yuan.

The financial power of the family had been handed over to Bai Wei early on. Since Teacher Tang helped her buy materials, Bai Wei spent almost all of her bonus on expenses, and the family was once again running out of money.

Even when Song Qinian went to the capital, he did not buy anything else, as all the things were prepared at home.

"I borrowed it from Mingyao, and I'll return it to him later."

Song Qinian scratched his head in embarrassment. During the time Bai Wei had been with him, their family had never had much financial comfort.

He had borrowed money from Teacher Tang last time and hadn't paid it back yet. He was really worried about Bai Wei, so he shamelessly went to Lu Mingyao and lent him 90 yuan. Although this guy was married, he was in charge of his own money because he and Tang Xuemei lived apart.

"The money we borrowed from Teacher Tang, plus Lu Mingyao's, total should be around 500 or 600 yuan, right?"

Bai Wei looked at the money in his hand and calculated the bill silently.

The original bonus this time was 800 yuan, which could have been used to pay off all the foreign debts in one go. However, because of her decision, she invested all the bonus, and the family was left with little money.

"Yes. But don't worry, I will think about it. Although I will go to the capital to study, there will be a military exercise in the second half of the year, and I can also participate. If I can get a prize, you can relax a little bit."

Song Qinian was also thinking about the military exercise competition in the second half of the year. This competition would involve the participation of ten divisions of the entire army, and would be extremely large in scale, but the prize money would also be high.

"You are going to the capital to study. You don't have to think about making money."

Bai Wei patted Song Qinian's shoulder, straightened his clothes, and stuffed all the money in his hand back into his pocket.

"There is still some money at home. You can take this money and spend it when you get to the capital."

"But you..."

Song Qinian took out the money and wanted to give it to Bai Wei again, but Bai Wei grabbed it.

"Just take it if I tell you to. I can make a lot of money if I sell these tobacco leaves. You really don't have to worry. Besides, when you go to the capital, you have to book a dormitory. When we go there, we will have a place to live. All this costs money! You don't want us to live under the bridge when we get here, do you? The adults are fine, but can the baby in your belly bear it?"

Bai Wei gently stroked her bulging belly.

As soon as she said this, Song Qinian also half-knelt down. Looking at Bai Wei's unusually large belly, he caressed it reluctantly and gently leaned his face against Bai Wei's belly.

"Dad is going to Beijing today. Dabao, you have to be a good boy and don't let Mommy suffer."

Song Qinian's eyes were full of attachment, and he gently kissed Bai Wei's belly.

Bai Wei looked at his reluctant expression and suddenly her belly moved violently, as if the little guy in her belly heard Song Qinian's voice and seemed to be responding to him.

"Weiwei, Dabao...I think you heard what I said!"

Song Qinian also felt the movement in Bai Wei's stomach. He looked up at Bai Wei in surprise and said.

"Baby, you also want to tell daddy, you will be good, right?"

Bai Wei touched her belly with a smile on her face. This was the first time she felt the movement of the baby in her belly. This strange feeling made her truly realize that there was a little life growing in her body.

As if he heard Bai Wei's gentle voice, the little guy reacted again, and Bai Wei's belly moved again.

Song Qinian and Bai Wei looked at each other, and then they hugged each other happily.

"When you go to the capital, you must take good care of yourself and wait for me."

Bai Wei leaned in Song Qinian's arms and spoke in a muffled voice.

There was a layer of moisture in her eyes. Although she had been prepared for a long time, she was still reluctant when the moment of separation came.

"You should take care of yourself and don't make me worry. If you can't sell the tobacco leaves, come to the capital to find me."

Song Qinian touched Bai Wei's hair and listened to her without any response for a long time. He pulled her and looked down. Only then did he realize that there were tears in the corners of Bai Wei's eyes, and she looked very pitiful.

"good."

Bai Wei just nodded, and Song Qi stroked her little face, lowered his head, and kissed her slowly.

This kiss was lingering and delicate. Both of them could feel each other's hot breath. Until Bai Wei's breathing became rapid, Song Qinian reluctantly let go and kissed Bai Wei on the face again.

Bai Wei didn't say anything, but just reached out and hugged Song Qinian silently.

At this moment, she even wanted to ignore the tobacco in the field and the pile of iron lumps in the yard. She just wanted to follow him to the capital regardless of everything. But reason pulled Bai Wei back. She had to give it a try whether for this family or for the child in her belly.

"Be well, wait for me."

Her voice was very soft and gentle, yet it carried endless nostalgia.
