Chapter 376 Pregnancy
After a day's rest, perhaps because the horse felt unprecedented relaxation, it actually ran faster than usual. After a while, Xu Miaomiao returned to that familiar place. She had been back once before and asked the village chief to clean their house all the time, so she thought there would not be any big problems.
When the three carriages first entered the village, they attracted a lot of onlookers. When they saw Xu Miaomiao getting off the carriage, the villagers who were originally calm became a little uneasy. Xu Miaomiao thought they were happy to see her back, but when they saw fear in the eyes of the villagers, Xu Miaomiao realized that something was wrong.
The villagers immediately gathered together and whispered, pointing at Xu Miaomiao, but Xu Miaomiao didn't know what was going on. Just as she was about to step forward to ask, the villagers immediately took a step back as if they were avoiding the plague god, and kept a considerable distance from Xu Miaomiao.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao was still a little confused and asked, "Aunt Li, what happened? It's me, Miaomiao, don't you remember me?"
The person called Aunt Li took two steps back in fear, ran back home and locked her door. Everyone dispersed and looked at Xu Miaomiao as if she was a disaster.
Xu Miaomiao still didn't understand. The village chief had never told her what had happened before. If anything happened, she would have to ask the village chief later.
Now they returned home first. The house had already been cleaned up by Xuguo. When Lan Yin saw them coming back, she immediately came out to greet them with a smile: "You are finally back. I thought you would arrive last night, but who knew it would take until today. Sister Xu, I missed you so much."
Lan Yin immediately flew into Xu Miaomiao's arms and hugged her tightly.
Xu Miaomiao gently stroked the girl's head and said, "You cleaned the house so well. I will cook you a delicious meal later to reward you."
Lan Yin smiled slightly when she heard this and nodded to Xu Miaomiao. Xu Guo was calmer than before and stayed quietly aside, but frowned slightly.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao immediately pulled him to a deserted place and said, "What happened? Why are you so worried?"
Xu Guo responded to Xu Miaomiao and said, "We just came to this village, and the villagers are still very enthusiastic. Now they ask us where we are from, where we live, and whether we will settle here in the end. But who knew that when I told them that we are from the Xu family and need to go back to the old house to wash up, those people looked at me as if they saw the god of plague, and they immediately dispersed. I really don't know what happened, so I had to come back and tidy up all the things in the house and wait for you to come."
Xu Miaomiao nodded slightly when she heard this, and responded to Xu Guo and said, "Not only you, but even when we came back just now, the way those people looked at us was really wrong.
But they had lived with them for so many years, and they were familiar with the pear trees and cotton fields they had cultivated together, and they were all doing well in the capital, so there was no reason for this to happen.
"You don't have to worry about these things. I will go to the village chief to ask about them later. Since I asked you to come back, you should relax. You will definitely not be as tired and exhausted as before in the capital and have to deal with so many things."
When Xuguo heard this, he sighed and nodded to Xu Miaomiao. After packing up the things he brought back, Xu Miaomiao finally relaxed and went to cook.
Yesterday, Lan Yin and her friends came back early and had already cleaned the house. The yard where Erbao and Xiaobao used to play had also been tidied up. Sure enough, this kind of life is what they most yearn for.
Xu Miaomiao was cooking on one side, Song Weiwei was washing vegetables nearby, and Gu Yuanniang was fanning the fire. The three of them were still cooperating as usual: "This stove looks like it hasn't been used for a long time, it's a little damp. Let's tear it down tomorrow and rebuild it and replace all the bricks inside."
Xu Miaomiao nodded in response, "We haven't been back for several years. Although we have asked the village chief to clean up here, there are still many places that need to be repaired. Since we will live here in the future, these problems must be solved properly. But we are still lucky. Since we arrived in the capital, I haven't eaten the dishes cooked by my sister-in-law for a long time. Today I must eat three big bowls."
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she smiled at Song Weiwei, looked at her and shook her head. This was how they used to be. The three of them worked together, whether it was running a business, cooking, or taking care of the children, they would always accompany each other. It is actually quite good now. They no longer have to stick to the rules of the capital, nor are they bound by the barriers between the Xu and Song mansions. For a moment, Xu Miaomiao actually felt a little relieved.
"By the way, now that Madam Zhang is willing to let you go, what conditions did she put forward for you?"
Gu Yuanniang looked at Xu Miaomiao and her cheeks turned red. She lowered her head even lower. Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao immediately said, "Tell me quickly, what happened?"
"Hasn't Madam Zhang always wanted a grandson? Qingshan is the only child of the Xu family. I thought about it and decided that since I'm married to Qingshan, I should give birth to another child for their family. I've also asked Ling'er for her opinion on this matter and she agrees."
"So you have to prepare to have a baby!" Song Weiwei said to Gu Yuanniang with some shock.
Gu Yuanniang, upon hearing this, lowered her head shyly: "No."
When Xu Miaomiao heard Gu Yuanniang's refusal, she stepped forward curiously and asked, "Could it be that you already have one?"
Hearing this, Gu Yuanniang's cheeks turned even redder, and she nodded. Song Weiwei and Xu Miaomiao looked at each other in shock, and then they almost jumped up in joy: "We are going to have a baby again."
Song Weiwei cheered happily, and the sound was a little loud. Even Song Wushao and Xu Qingshan outside the window heard it. Xu Qingshan was a little shy when he heard it. Seeing this, Song Wushao smiled slightly, clasped his fists and bowed to Xu Qingshan, and said, "Congratulations in advance, Brother Xu."
Xu Miaomiao was delighted when she saw this scene, and she said, "This is right. I believe that Liu Niang will give the two children the same amount of love as anyone else. But there are many things to be careful about when you are pregnant. I will check your pulse later. You didn't pay enough attention when you gave birth to Ling'er, which led to your weakness later. This time, I will take care of you and make sure you give birth to him safely."
