Chapter 191



"Auntie, is your little brother in your belly? When can he play with me?" In the kitchen, Chen Yi was holding her own small bowl. In the bowl was some oil residue cooked by Shuying in the evening. It tasted especially delicious after cooling down and sprinkling some salt on it.

Chen Yi ate the delicious and crunchy food. He stared at Shuying's belly with his big eyes and asked curiously. He had already decided that after his little brother came out of his aunt's belly, he would take him to the back mountain to play with slingshots and catch birds.

Chen Yi kept talking non-stop, referring to her younger brother here and there. Her childish words made Shuying laugh and feel a headache. She thought that this child had a good idea, but she had just become pregnant, and it was too early for the baby to be born, let alone learn to walk.

What's more, we don't even know whether she is pregnant with a girl or a boy?

Why does this child insist that she will give birth to a younger brother?

Shuying asked with a smile: "What if the baby in aunt's belly is not a brother but a sister?"

These words left Chen Yi dumbfounded.

She had not been pregnant before, so whether her husband wanted a concubine or Chen Yi wanted a younger brother, she just followed what they said.

But now that she is pregnant, Shuying plans to give the two of them some ideological training. For example, she told Chen Yi that having a younger sister is not bad and girls don’t necessarily cry. She even followed him and sweetly called him "brother"!

If Chen Yi still believed it before, today when he went to play with the three brothers of Gao family, the bad woman who framed him not long ago also sent Cao Yu to play at Gao's house.

That bad woman even asked him to take Cao Yu out to play, but he refused. Later, when he was playing with Gao Yuan and his two brothers, Cao Yu kept crying. Chen Yi is so annoyed now.

So now he has no hesitation in wanting only a younger brother and not a crying sister!

Chen Yi said: "It must be a younger brother! Gao Yuan's mother also said that the baby in aunt's belly must be a younger brother!"

Tree Shadow: “…”

"What brother?" A man's deep voice suddenly came from outside, interrupting the conversation between the aunt and nephew. Shuying was busy in the kitchen and talking to Chen Yi, and did not hear anything outside the yard at all.

Then she heard her man's voice and footsteps, and she turned around quickly.

She saw a tall man in military uniform standing at the door, with no expression on his face, but his eyes were fixed on her flat belly, never moving his gaze away.

"Are you back?" Her husband is back, and it's time to eat.

"Uncle, I'm going to have a little brother! Auntie is going to give me a little brother!"

The aunt and nephew spoke in unison. Chen Yixian proudly shouted at his uncle, leaving Shuying speechless.

Why is this child so insistent on having a younger brother?

It just so happened that the man in front of her wanted a concubine. Shuying felt a headache when she saw the two of them, one big and one small. She quickly asked her man to take Chen Yi to wash her hands so that they could have dinner at home.

In the evening, she cooked pork fat and prepared a pheasant. She stir-fried half of it according to Chen Yi's favorite taste, and stewed the other half with some wild mushrooms sent by her mother's family, and also added a few red dates to make it especially fragrant.

It had been simmering for an hour and a half, and the rich aroma of chicken soup continued to waft out from the edge of the pot lid, so she turned off the fire.

Chen Xi didn't go out, letting Chen Yi wash his hands by himself.

The kitchen was filled with the aroma of vegetables and rich chicken soup, and Chen Yi was drooling with greed.

The fried dough sticks are delicious, no matter how full you are. Besides, we have his favorite stir-fried pheasant and delicious chicken soup at home tonight.

Just now, my aunt gave him a piece of stir-fried pheasant, which was spicy and fragrant, and as delicious as the pheasant that my aunt had stir-fried before.

He can eat three bowls of rice for dinner.

Chen Yi was drooling with greed and finished the last few pieces of oil residue in the bowl. Then Chen Yi hurried out to wash his hands.

When Shuying saw that the man didn't go out, he was about to ask him whether he should wash first or after dinner!

The man suddenly strode over and hugged the person in his arms, scaring the tree shadow.

It's not dark yet, it's still broad daylight.

This man seldom showed any affection to her in broad daylight. The child came in right after washing his hands. Shuying wanted to push him away, but she heard the man ask in a deep voice, "Are you really pregnant? Have you been to the infirmary for a checkup? How many months have you been pregnant?"

The man's magnetic voice was still very pleasant to the ear, but this time it was not as smooth as before and had a bit of tremor.

As he said this, a burning and joyful light flashed in the man's eyes, and his gaze was always fixed on her belly, and he could not get enough of it.

The man's eyes were so scorching that it was hard for Shuying to ignore them. She raised her eyes and met the man's scorching and deep gaze.

Shuying thought of this man's eyes, which were just as bright as the one she had seen on the day she agreed to get married with him during their blind date in the teahouse in the county town, so scorching that it made her feel hot.

It's rare to see this man enjoying his travels.

She was in a good mood and nodded, "More than a month. I went to the infirmary at noon!"

After that, she briefly mentioned going to the market to buy waxberries. Mrs. Gao, who was passing by, reminded her of this. After returning, she went to the infirmary for a check-up.

At this time, Chen Yi came back from washing his hands, shouting that he was hungry. Shuying quickly pushed people away, and the family of three had to eat dinner first.

At the dinner table, Chen Xi looked calm, but the excitement and joy in his heart still took a long time to calm down. Ever since he heard Deputy Captain Fang say outside the courtyard gate that his wife was pregnant, he was ecstatic but uncertain.

Now that he had confirmed the good news from his wife's mouth, the usually cold and hard features of the man had softened, his stern brows were smiling, and even his eyes were filled with a genuine smile.

He first scooped a bowl of chicken soup for his wife, which was full of chicken, and urged her to eat more. He then served a bowl of chicken soup to his wife and also to Chen Yi.

However, after serving a bowl to Chen Yi, the man's attention was all on his wife. There were delicious dishes he liked on the table, but he didn't pick up the food with his chopsticks. Most of the food was put into his wife's bowl.

Full of chicken, keep adding more.

Even Chen Yi, a child, could clearly feel his uncle's favoritism.

Shuying hadn't even taken a few bites of her rice when her husband kept putting chicken into her bowl, wishing she could eat a pheasant. She was speechless and hurriedly asked her husband to eat more. She also put some chicken into Chen Yi's bowl, who was blinking and staring at the couple.

Chen Yi then smiled happily. He knew that his aunt loved him the most. He buried his head in eating rice, a piece of chicken, and then a mouthful of chicken soup, enjoying the delicious food.

While picking up vegetables for the children, Shuying did not forget to love her husband and picked up chicken for him so that he could eat more and he didn't have to take care of her all the time.

The pheasant soup is not as salty and flavorful as the stir-fried pheasant meat, but the thick chicken soup is particularly refreshing and fresh. Not only Shuying likes to drink it, but Chen Xi and his nephew also like it.

Chen Xi tried his best to save the stewed chicken soup and chicken for his wife, and ate the other vegetables himself.

"Auntie, the chicken soup is so delicious!" Chen Yi ate with a very satisfied look on his face. Just as he had thought, he ate three bowls of rice for dinner.

Chen Xi had a big appetite and the dishes were delicious and went well with rice. When he saw that his wife was full, he finished eating the rest.

Shuying's family was eating happily. The Gao family next door smelled the fragrance of the Chen family's food, and then looked at the pickled radishes they were eating. Gao Tuan and the three brothers of the Gao family sighed.

Gao Tuan muttered to himself that perhaps his brother's sister-in-law cooked pheasant, otherwise why did it smell so good?

Gao Yuan saw his mother going to the market to buy meat today. Gao Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Mom, why don't you cook meat for dinner?"

Gao Zhi and Gao Xiang thought so in their hearts, but they also knew that their mother was reluctant to cook the meat every time she bought it, and would only cook it when the meat was about to go bad.

After this, the two brothers began to sigh again.

The sighing looks of the two brats made Mrs. Gao laugh. She had bought a lot of eels and loaches to cook for the men and children in the family in the past few days. Her family was now living a better life than most families in the military area.

In the past, my husband and a few brats ate pickled vegetables and radishes every day without saying so much. It was probably because they had lived a good life for too long.

Mrs. Gao scolded the three brats a few times, and the three Gao Zhi brothers quickly left after finishing their meal.

Mrs. Gao asked the eldest and second oldest sons to keep an eye on the third oldest son, to make sure that the shameless third oldest son would not take advantage of Yang Mei Zi again.

But now that the third child is older and more sensible, Mrs. Gao is much more relieved.

After the three brats left the table, Mrs. Gao told her husband that when she came back at noon, she saw that Captain Lu's family had sent their daughter to her house.

This has never happened before.

According to the three brothers, Cao Rou, the daughter of Captain Lu, specially asked Chen Yi to take Cao Yu out to play.

Mrs. Gao has not forgotten that Cao Rou, an adult, bullied the child Chen Yi some time ago. She also spread the rumor that Chen Yi was a bastard and that Chen Yi was connected to Chen Tuan.

How come not long after that, Captain Lu's family changed so suddenly? Mrs. Gao felt very strange.

"What do you think Captain Lu's family is thinking?"

Gao Tuan didn't think much about it and said, "What's there to worry about when two kids are playing around? Maybe Captain Lu's family has realized that they were wrong and is planning to get along well with his brother and sister-in-law!"

Mrs. Gao, however, felt that Captain Lu's family was a group of people who would not do anything without a profit. She could not imagine what their purpose was. She could only think that Captain Lu's family probably saw that Chen Tuan had a bright future and did not dare to offend him, so they wanted to use the two children to repair their relationship.

But these days, I haven't seen Captain Lu's family take the initiative to build a good relationship with Sister Yang.

Since she couldn’t figure it out, Mrs. Gao stopped thinking about it.

Mrs. Gao told her husband again that Miss Yang was pregnant.

Gao Tuan was surprised, but he was very happy for Chen Tuan. He ate a mouthful of salted vegetables and said hurriedly, "Oh, this is really a good thing! Who knows how happy Chen Tuan must be right now!"

Mrs. Gao also felt that even she, an outsider, could see that Chen Tuan was eager to have a child. Now that his wish had come true, Chen Tuan must be in a very good mood.

Chen Xi was indeed in a particularly good mood tonight. After dinner, he took a rest and a shower. When his wife finished teaching the child to do homework, he immediately couldn't wait to carry her into the house.

On the bed, Chen Xi held the person and sat him on his lap. There were only two people in the room, so Shuying didn't push anyone away. She put her arms around the man's neck, and the couple were talking intimately.

As she was talking, Shuying wondered whether she should talk about the incident where his eldest cousin came to her house and returned the gifts. However, she had already returned the gifts, and besides, his eldest cousin, who was not a good person, had not come to see her again in recent days.

Shuying thought about it and decided not to say anything for now. If that person really came to her again, she would tell her man about it.

Chen Xi looked at her without blinking, his eyes were particularly gentle, and he touched her belly carefully. Even though Shuying's belly was flat and he couldn't feel anything, the man was particularly reluctant to let go and was excited.

Shuying felt a little itchy and took the man's hand away.

She quickly thought of Chen Yi's child who only wanted a younger brother. Shu Ying suddenly changed the subject and looked up at the man in front of her and said, "What do you think of a boy?" After a slight pause, she continued, "I think it's good to have a boy. It will just be a companion for Xiao Yi!"

Chen Xi who only wanted a lady: "..."
