"Okay. Then I'll feed him first." Mu Run picked up Xiao Tuan Tuan, sat down on the kang (heated brick bed), leaned against the rice bran pillow at the head of the bed, and lifted her clothes...
"Is there enough milk?" Madam Qin asked.
"No problem now, there's enough for them to eat."
Mu Run looked down at Tuan Tuan in her arms. The little guy had his big, dark eyes wide open and was drinking gulping water, while his little arms and legs were moving around.
Madam Qin looked at Huanhuan, who was sleeping in the cradle, and examined her features, then looked at Murun's features.
They don't look alike at all; they must take after their father.
And their father is quite good-looking too.
Mu Run never mentioned the child's father, and everyone was worldly-wise enough not to ask about the details.
It wasn't that Mu Run didn't want to tell, but rather that she had no memory of it. The only thing she knew was what Wang Yaozong had said: she was the head maid of the Grand Commandant's mansion. But she had clearly been persecuted, which was why she was swept away by the garbage canal and thus resurrected by Mu Run's soul.
If she wanted to know the answer, she could only go to the Grand Commandant's mansion, but she didn't want to go. Because that was Hua Ling's experience in this body, and knowing too much might only cause more trouble. She didn't want to burden another person. Leaving the two little ones was enough.
Now that the Grand Commandant's mansion is gone, she won't think about it anymore.
The full moon celebration was peaceful and warm, and it ended after Xiao Qinshi left with bags and bags of things.
Mu Run lay on the outermost kang (heated brick bed), looking at the two little ones sleeping soundly with their arms and legs outstretched inside. A satisfied smile appeared on her face as she closed her eyes to rest.
Qin's mother came in and covered Mu Run with a blanket, then tidied up the diapers and other dirty things before going out to wash them.
After tidying up the kitchen, Yao Yao saw that Qin's mother was about to wash things, so she went over to help, saying, "Let me wash them."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Yao Yao and Qin's mother looked over.
Mother Qin said, "It's almost dark, who could it be?"
Yao Yao replied, "Is it my brother? But after lunch, he said there was a lot of work over there, so he'll stay in the village for the next few days and come back after this busy period is over."
A young voice rang out from outside, "I'm a clerk at the pharmacy, I've come to ask you something."
"The pharmacy?" Qin's mother handed the wooden basin containing the dirty clothes to Yao Yao. "I'll go take a look."
The door opened, and a young waiter appeared, smiling at Qin's mother, saying, "My name is Xiao Liu. I have something to ask you, Mom."
"Go on," Qin's mother said, not coming out from inside the door. If she had, she would have seen a man dressed in black and wearing a black hat standing to one side of the doorway. He was one of the men in black she had seen at the county government office, the one who had been inquiring about twins.
"Your wife once saw a doctor at the pharmacy. My old master took her pulse and diagnosed that she was pregnant with twins. I wonder how she is now?"
"Oh, my wife is doing well. She gave birth to a big, healthy daughter. It wasn't twins." Qin's mother denied the twins claim.
Xiao Liu: "No way, my husband has never made a mistake in his diagnosis."
“That’s normal, even tigers take naps sometimes. Does Little Six have anything else to do?” Mother Qin asked.
"No, no, we're sorry to bother you, Mom. You're busy." Xiao Liu left with the man in black.
Only then did Qin's mother see the man in black, and she was immediately terrified.
The man in black seemed to sense something and turned to look at Qin's mother.
Qin's mother waved with a smile, "Take care, Xiao Liu."
Xiao Liu quickly replied, "Okay, thank you."
