March passed quickly, and Song Qi didn't come back for a whole month.
She went to ask Hongying and Ling Yong, but they both said they had no idea about the mission.
But according to the feedback from the pocket watch, he could sense Song Qi's location in the northwest, around Gansu Province. The pocket watch's energy remained stable, so it seemed that Song Qi was not in danger, which made her feel much more at ease.
But when will he be able to come back?
Her belly is getting bigger day by day. At four and a half months old, it has bulged into a small hill. It's okay if she wears slightly loose clothes, but the weather is getting warmer, so she wears less and less. She is now particularly afraid of heat and sweats when it gets hot.
There is nothing I can do, I can only wait, as long as Song Qi is safe.
But there was one thing that made her very anxious, but she couldn't get any news. Hu Jun hadn't called her yet, and she wasn't quite sure what was going on. She could only wait. She even went to find Liu Qing several times, but Liu Qing didn't answer Hu Jun's call either.
In early March, when Song Qi had not returned yet, Song Wei was worried about her living alone as a pregnant woman, so he asked her to stay with him temporarily. It happened that Aunt Wang could still cook her favorite meals every day.
Ling Ju was a little hesitant at first. After all, he was the eldest uncle, and it was not good for him to live with his younger brother and sister-in-law. However, Song Xin was about to graduate and had some free time, so he rushed to Liao Province without stopping. Only then did Ling Ju feel at ease to live with Song Wei.
On the day before Qingming Festival, Ling Ju finally received a call from Song Qi.
At that time, she was eating the lunch that Zhen Zhen had brought her in the office. She still remembered that she had roasted eggplant and shredded pork with chili peppers, and the staple food was a big steamed bun.
While she was fighting with the roasted eggplant, the phone in her office rang and she picked it up directly.
"Hello, I'm Ling Ju."
The first thing that reached her ears was a man's breathing. It only took her a second to know who was on the other side.
"Song Qi, Song Qi, is that you?"
Song Qi chuckled twice, his voice low and sexy, "Juzi, did you miss me?"
Ling Ju was about to cry, "Wow, I miss you so much. Where are you now? When can you come back?"
Zhen Zhen looked at Ling Ju's excited expression, took the lunch box and went out, leaving her some private space.
Song Qi heard the girl sobbing a little, "Don't cry, I'll be back soon. I was in the desert and had no signal, so I didn't send a message to call you. But I've been carrying the watch with me all the time. Can you feel it?"
"Yes, I can sense your location, but I can't be too specific. I can tell you that you are safe."
"That's good. Have you been eating and sleeping well recently? Are you tired from work?"
"I'm not tired. Now that Song Xin is here, we're staying at my eldest brother's place. Aunt Wang cooks for me in different ways every day, and I eat really well. I can buy whatever I want. It's your brother's money anyway, so I'm not shy about it."
The man on the other end of the phone laughed twice. Ling Ju didn't know his current condition. The conditions in the northwest were harsh and there was little to eat. He had lost weight traveling through the desert Gobi every day. But when he heard that his young wife was eating and drinking well, he felt relieved.
"How's your stomach lately? Is it easy to sleep at night?"
Ling Ju touched her belly and said, "It's okay. It's just a small hill now. It won't affect my normal life much. I won't be able to move around until the third trimester. Song Qi, I really miss you. I think the baby misses you too."
Song Qi checked the time and said, "Wife, I'll be back in a week at most. Take good care of yourself. If I find you've lost weight when I get back...Okay, I have to gather. See you at home."
Ling Ju held the phone in her hand, pouting reluctantly, "I know, go ahead. It'll only be a week at most."
"Okay, wife, I'm hanging up."
There was a beeping sound, and Ling Ju took a moment to react before hanging up the phone.
There is no way, she has fallen into Song Qi's hands in this life.
What a slap in the face!
After hanging up the phone, he realized that Zhen Zhen was not there. He opened the door and went out but did not see her in the corridor. Ling Ju went back to continue eating his lunch. The food was still hot. You can imagine how brief this call was.
After finishing the meal and preparing to wash the lunch box, Zhen Zhen came back with an empty lunch box.
"Zhen Zhen, where have you been? You disappeared while I was answering the phone."
Zhen Zhen smiled, "Hey, I'm just giving you some private space. Your Captain Song has been away for over a month."
Ling Ju blushed a little, "You little girl is so sensible that I feel embarrassed."
Zhen Zhen laughed, and Ling Ju also laughed.
I hadn't finished washing the lunch box when Song Xin came unexpectedly.
The two firecrackers hit it off right away, but only Ling Ju noticed the stainless steel lunch box in Song Xin's hand.
"Song Xin, you haven't eaten yet? Why are you carrying a lunch box?"
Song Xin then remembered, "I've already eaten. Aunt Wang made some soup and I brought you some. Aunt Wang packed quite a bit. Zhen Zhen, have a bowl too. Aunt Wang said people in the south loved this kind of soup when she was there."
Song Xin opened the lunch box and found two full boxes of pork ribs, corn and lotus root soup. "Where did you get the fresh corn and lotus root?" Ling Ju was shocked!
Song Xin shook his head. "I don't know either. Anyway, someone brings food to our house every day. At first, I didn't even know it was called lotus root. It was Aunt Wang who told me that it's delicious in soups, dumplings, and stir-fries. You won't believe it, it's really good. Come and try it."
"Smells so good! I'm ready to eat! Thank you, Auntie Wang, for remembering that I brought so much. I and Orange are so lucky!"
Miss Zhen took a big gulp and ate a large piece of lotus root. Her mouth was bloated and it was inconvenient for her to speak, so she gave a thumbs up.
Ling Ju had tasted this kind of soup before, and she liked it very much.
