Before Ye Weiwei could answer, Huo Xiao said with self-reproach, "It's all my fault for being so unrestrained! Don't worry, wife, I promise I'll behave myself before the baby is born and never do anything reckless again!"
Seeing his excessively worried expression, Ye Weiwei couldn't help but chuckle: "So, you didn't sleep all night because of this?"
Huo Xiao was a little embarrassed. "No, it's just that I'm so excited about having our own child soon that I can't sleep."
Ye Weiwei couldn't help but smile as she thought about how she always felt a gaze fixed on her after she fell asleep, as if afraid she would run away.
Huo Xiao released Ye Weiwei and covered her with the blanket. "Wife, lie down for a while longer. I'll go boil water and cook."
After saying that, he quickly got up and went to get busy.
About fifteen minutes later, Huo Xiao carried a basin of hot water to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), then wrung out a hot towel and used it to wipe Ye Weiwei's hands and face.
Ye Weiwei wanted to do it herself, but Huo Xiao refused, so Ye Weiwei had no choice but to let him do it and happily enjoyed it.
As soon as she finished wiping her face, she saw Little Star looking at her with concern. "Auntie, are you sick? Where do you feel uncomfortable? Let me blow on you, and you'll feel better!"
Ye Weiwei: ……
Huo Xiao quickly stopped Xiao Xingxing, who was about to pounce on Ye Weiwei, saying, "Your aunt is fine. She was just too tired from playing in town yesterday and hasn't woken up properly yet. She wants to sleep a little longer."
Little Star said "Oh," and considerately added, "Then Auntie, you should go to sleep. I won't disturb you!"
After saying that, he climbed out of bed.
Huo Xiao hurriedly took the warm clothes that were placed on the kang (a heated brick bed) and helped Xiao Xingxing put on his clothes. Then he carried him off the kang, added hot water to the washbasin, rolled up his sleeves, and let him wash his face and brush his teeth by himself.
After Xiaoxing washed her face and dried it with a towel, Huo Xiao used his finger to apply some face cream to Xiaoxing's face and the back of her hands to prevent her skin from chapping.
After doing all that, Huo Xiao put a hat on Xiao Xingxing and then led her to run in the yard, chanting "One, two, one, one, two, one, one, two, three, four" as they ran!
Interspersed throughout were the sounds of two people chatting and laughing.
Looking at the unusually harmonious pair of large and small, Ye Weiwei couldn't help but touch her belly, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up.
Unexpectedly, Huo Xiao cared so much about the arrival of the child.
Should she tell this guy that she's pregnant with more than one?
I think I'll keep it from telling you for now, and wait until I'm further along in the pregnancy and the pregnancy is more stable.
Having agreed to have Xu Meijun and the others come over for dinner today, Ye Weiwei had already planned out what to prepare for the guests. After Huo Xiao and Xiao Xingxing had run around the yard three times, Ye Weiwei got up and started cleaning the house.
When Huo Xiao saw that she was about to pour water, he quickly stopped her and told her to sit and wait for dinner, and that she didn't need to help with any of the housework.
Breakfast consisted of millet porridge, boiled eggs, and pickled vegetables.
Three boiled eggs, one small star, two for Ye Weiwei, and Huo Xiao didn't eat any.
Ye Weiwei offered one to Huo Xiao, but Huo Xiao refused.
He didn't cook for himself; it was all for his wife and little star.
He's perfectly fine with millet porridge.
He didn't know where his wife got the millet porridge from. It was golden yellow with a ring of oil around the edge of the pot. It smelled delicious. After drinking a bowl, his stomach felt as comfortable as if he were soaking in a hot spring. He could drink three big bowls in one go.
Xu Meijun, Chen Jiali, Hou Zheng and Xie Ning arrived very early. They were originally from the same village, so it was just a matter of walking a few more steps.
As soon as Xu Meijun entered the door, she started telling Ye Weiwei the latest gossip from the village.
"Ye Weiwei, do you know what? That Lu Xiaolan got into trouble again last night, haha! Guess what she did this time?"
Ye Weiwei pretended not to know and followed up by asking, "What did you do?"
Xu Meijun mentioned her, and then couldn't help but laugh, making Ye Weiwei, who was waiting for her to reveal something, almost roll her eyes.
This girl has such a low threshold for laughter. It's just that she slept with a pig in a pigsty.
Why are you laughing like that?
Chen Jiali couldn't help but laugh. Seeing Xu Meijun laughing so hard she couldn't speak, she recounted Lu Xiaolan's funny story.
It turns out that Lu Xiaolan got up and caused trouble again in the middle of the night last night. This time, she didn't go to the outhouse, but went out of the house and went to the pigsty where the team raised pigs, and slept with the pigs inside.
When the Lu family woke up in the morning and realized something was wrong, they found her sleeping soundly with a big black pig in her arms. This scared Aunt Zhang so much that she cried and screamed. After waking her up, Lu Xiaolan thought she was sleeping on the kang (a heated brick bed) at home and gave Aunt Zhang a cold shoulder for waking her up.
When Lu Xiaolan realized that she was sleeping in a pigsty, she was terrified. Her screams scared the pigs in the sty so much that they wet themselves.
Hou Zheng: "I think what the villagers said is true. Lu Xiaolan probably has sleepwalking disorder."
Xie Ning agreed: "I had a classmate in my class who had this problem. He would often get up in the middle of the night and cover each of his classmates with a blanket. This scared the classmates so much that they didn't want to live in the same dormitory with him and eventually had to go home to live."
Chen Jiali was puzzled: "What's so scary about covering a classmate with a blanket? Why send them home? Your classmates are so unfriendly and uncooperative."
Xie Ning looked at Chen Jiali with a strange expression. "Think about it carefully. Imagine you're sleeping soundly, and suddenly you're woken up. You open your eyes and find a head right in front of you..."
"Ah...stop talking!" Chen Jiali couldn't help but exclaim, quickly stopping Xie Ning.
Xu Meijun sighed, "Lu Xiaolan's reputation is ruined. Now Zhao Mingzhe will probably look down on her even more. It's such a waste of all those good things, all gone to waste."
Xie Ning: "That's not necessarily true! When we went out, I saw Zhao Mingzhe and Lu Xiaolan go out again."
Chen Jiali: "I saw it too, but Zhao Mingzhe looked very unhappy. Also, I saw Lu Xiaolan try to give Zhao Mingzhe an egg, but he refused it."
Xu Meijun thought of the last time Zhao Mingzhe was tricked by Ye Weiwei because of eating eggs, and almost vomited up, and laughed unkindly.
Lu Xiaolan's story just provided some amusement for everyone.
After some joking around, Xu Meijun took out a pair of red gloves and a small red hat and gave them to Ye Weiwei, saying, "I know you don't lack anything. These are knitted by me myself and are for your little nephew."
Ye Weiwei was surprised that Xu Meijun had this skill. She smiled and took the food, saying to Little Star, "Thank you, Aunt Xu!"
Little Star thanked her sweetly, "Thank you, Aunt Xu! Aunt Xu, you're so beautiful!"
Xu Meijun was instantly captivated by his sweet, soft, childlike voice. She reached out and pinched his little cheek, feeling incredibly satisfied. "Ye Weiwei, how can your little nephew be so cute! I want one too!"
