The mountains here are just what they call mountains, that's how they usually refer to them.
Actually, it should be more accurately described as hills.
Unending.
However, some exist independently.
It's like the mountain where they raise chickens in their village now.
Although the mountain where the training ground is located is connected to other mountain ranges, it is relatively gentle.
The mountaintop is relatively flat and surrounded by trees, making it a truly nice place.
After walking around the training ground and observing the surrounding terrain, Gu Xichen gave his father some advice before heading home.
They have a high regard for soldiers, and his father is a retired soldier, so his words carry some weight in the village.
With the village chief's support, he knew that what he said would be arranged by them sooner or later.
He didn't know if his wife had woken up yet. Gu Xichen was afraid that his wife wouldn't be able to see him when she woke up, so he just wanted to go back and spend time with her.
Back at the Gu family home, Yang Dongmei was already in the kitchen preparing breakfast. Zhou Ying and Grandma Luo were still asleep, probably because they were too tired yesterday.
Knowing that his wife was still asleep, Gu Xichen quickly took a cold shower to cool off before pushing open the door and going inside.
As soon as the door opened, Jiang Jinxiu's voice came through: "Xichen, you're back?"
Gu Xichen looked up and saw the little woman's two small hands outside the quilt.
Gu Xichen quickly went over and tucked her hand back under the blanket.
"Your hands are so cold, why are you leaving them outside? Aren't you cold?"
Meeting Gu Xichen's concerned gaze, Jiang Jinxiu smiled faintly: "I'm not cold."
Are you getting up?
Jiang Jinxiu looked at him and shook her head. "I'm still a little sleepy."
Gu Xichen pulled back the quilt and lay down inside, pulling her into his arms.
But then I found that the bed wasn't very warm, and it didn't seem like someone had been sleeping there all the time.
"You just got up?"
“I woke up when you got up. After watching you leave, I couldn’t fall back asleep, so I read for a while. Now I’m sleepy again and just lay down.”
Gu Xichen kissed her on the head: "I woke you up. Go back to sleep. I'll stay with you."
He gently patted her back.
Smelling the man's familiar scent, Jiang Jinxiu felt at ease and quickly fell asleep.
Gu Xichen looked at Jiang Jinxiu's sweet sleeping face and saw the corners of her mouth gradually curving upwards. He wondered if she was dreaming about their babies again, her dream filled with smiles.
He tried to call her name softly, gently stroking her soft hair. She mumbled something, snuggled closer to him, and settled down only after finding a comfortable position.
Gu Xichen felt like he was really asking for trouble.
He's been pregnant for ten months, and he's only two months along now. He still has eight more months to go.
wrong!
There's also the month of postpartum confinement, making a total of nine months.
If he has any more assignments then, it's hard to say how long that will take.
this,
Do we really have to hold it in for this long?
I wonder if I'll get sick from holding it in?
in spite of!
After his wife gives birth this time, he never wants her to have another one. Three is enough!
He took a few deep breaths, not daring to move or touch Jiang Jinxiu again.
I don't know how long it took before the fire in my heart finally subsided!
After Yang Dongmei and the others prepared breakfast, since Zhou Ying and the others were going back at noon, she and Gu Dashan didn't go to work at the chicken coop and took leave directly.
Zhou Ying and Xiao Liu left after lunch.
Grandma Luo repeatedly stated that they should not come to pick her up for the New Year, as she wanted to spend the New Year here.
Zhou Ying repeatedly agreed with Grandma Luo's decision, but couldn't help but wonder: If you don't go back for the New Year, how can they have a peaceful New Year?
Aren't you afraid they'll just come down and look for someone?
Grandma Luo didn't care about them. Once she arrived, she didn't want to leave, especially since Jiang Jinxiu was pregnant.
She wanted to stay with her and watch her give birth safely.
Zhou Ying had originally planned to stay with her for a few days before taking her back, but seeing the conditions Jiang Jinxiu and her family had, and the old lady's joy, she decided not to force her to go back with her.
After all, things aren't going smoothly for them in Beijing right now. They'll come pick her up once things are settled there.
With Zhao Guoan here with her, and the Gu family being good people, she would feel quite at ease.
Before leaving, she gave Yang Dongmei twenty yuan in cash and some grain coupons, meat coupons, and cloth coupons, saying it was for the old lady's expenses here.
Yang Dongmei felt embarrassed to accept so much money and tickets. They had brought so many things yesterday, and now they were giving her money and tickets too much.
In the end, Jiang Jinxiu smoothed things over and let Yang Dongmei keep the tickets. They had very few tickets, and they really needed them. With tickets, it would be more convenient to buy things later, and she wouldn't have to keep looking for ways to exchange them.
However, she also prepared several jugs of spiritual spring water, saying it was a medicinal drink that was good for the body, and that everyone could drink it.
And the red wine in the room, let them take it all back, since they're driving and it'll be convenient for them to carry it.
Finally, a ginseng root was placed at the very bottom.
I wrote a note and put it next to her, telling her that they got it by chance and that she could accept it without worry!
This was something she had discussed with Gu Xichen beforehand.
She actually wanted to give her some grapes and mangoes from the space, but it wasn't the season for them.
It's not easy to bring up, and it's also difficult to explain.
Unlike later times, when there are many out-of-season fruits with good preservation properties, you can eat them anytime.
