Chapter 477 Position Confirmed
After lunch, Song Yuntang took a short nap. When he woke up, Xu Qingye had already returned home.
"Why are you back so soon?"
Xu Qingye smiled and helped her up.
"Tang'er wasn't around, so I felt the party was boring and came back early."
Hearing what he said, Song Yuntang was a little surprised.
"Why are you still being annoying? You've never said anything like this before."
Xu Qingye pursed his lips and smiled, but did not tell her what happened at the banquet.
"I have just asked Xia Ning and Gui Ping to load all the things onto the carriage. When does Tang Er plan to leave for the farm?"
Song Yuntang stood up.
"Let's go now."
…
The village is much cooler than the county town.
When he was in the county town, Song Yuntang always felt a layer of sweat on his body. After returning to the farm, he sat in the yard and felt refreshed by the mountain breeze.
The melon cooled with spring water tastes even better when eaten.
"It's really hot today."
While she was eating the melon, a figure quickly crossed the gate and ran towards her.
"Sister-in-law! It's really you!"
Worried that his recklessness might hurt the baby in Song Yuntang's belly, Xu Qingye stood up and grabbed him by the back of the neck when he was still a few steps away from Song Yuntang.
"Your sister-in-law is pregnant now, please be careful."
Xu Wencheng was forced to stop. His eyes swept across Song Yuntang's abdomen and then fell on her face. His eyes were red.
"Sister-in-law, am I dreaming?"
Song Yuntang smiled, picked up a piece of iced melon, stood up and stuffed it into his mouth.
“Is it sweet?”
Xu Wencheng quickly reached out to take the piece of watermelon, took a big bite, and nodded with a smile.
"sweet!"
Sister-in-law is really back!
It’s great that my sister-in-law is not dead!
The young man raised his sleeve and swept it under his eyelids, then looked at Xu Qingye and Song Yuntang.
"Sister-in-law, what happened before?"
Song Yuntang told him roughly about how Lin Zhaozhao pushed her off the cliff, and told him that the body in the cave was Lin Zhaozhao, not her.
After hearing this, Xu Wencheng felt extremely disgusted.
"If I had known it was that vicious woman, I wouldn't have spent so much time burying her, spending several days setting up a tombstone, and buying so many offerings."
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
If he wasn't disgusted, he would have wanted to dig her out again.
Xu Qingye glanced at him indifferently.
"Who said you were stupid? You couldn't even recognize your sister-in-law."
Xu Wencheng scratched his head and frowned, saying, "I was so sad at the time that I didn't think about this at all."
He turned and looked at Song Yuntang.
"Sister-in-law, I was wrong."
Song Yuntang smiled and extended his hand towards Xu Qingye.
"It's okay. I'm back now, right?"
Xu Qingye went forward and helped her sit down again.
"Be careful."
Xu Wencheng looked into Song Yuntang's eyes with a puzzled look on his face.
"What happened to my sister-in-law's eyes?"
Song Yuntang said calmly, "I was injured when I fell off the cliff, but it shouldn't take too long to recover."
Xu Wencheng felt uncomfortable when he thought about her injured eyes and the suffering she had endured outside for such a long time while pregnant.
His mouth is faster than his brain.
"I was careless this time, I won't do it again."
Xu Qingye looked at him in surprise.
"Do you want to have a next time?"
Xu Wencheng was stunned and shook his head quickly, "No, there won't be a next time. My sister-in-law and nephew will be safe and sound in the future."
As he spoke, he raised the watermelon in his hand to change the subject.
“This melon is really delicious.”
Jiang came from the backyard carrying a sewing basket.
"The donkey does nothing all day but kick you on the head? If you can't speak, talk less. Too much talk leads to mistakes."
Xu Wencheng looked at Jiang with grievance.
"mother!"
Jiang rolled her eyes at him, put the sewing basket on the table, and took out two sets of children's clothes that she had made herself.
"Tang'er, I've made three sets of clothes for the child these days, and I don't know if they're enough. If they're not enough, I'll make some more."
She didn't know Song Yuntang was still alive before.
She started making these small clothes after she came back. The stitches are fine, the fabric is soft, and they are made with great care.
Song Yuntang took the clothes in his hands and felt them, a smile appeared on his face.
"Thank you for your hard work, young children grow fast, and it's summer now, so three sets of clothes are enough for now. When the child is a little older, I can make autumn and winter clothes for him directly."
Jiang nodded.
"Okay, Mom will wash these sets of clothes and keep them ready so that the baby will have clothes to wear when he is born."
After saying that, she put the clothes back into the sewing basket and went to the backyard.
Xu Qingye exchanged glances with Jinshu.
Seeing her coming, he whispered a few words in Song Yuntang's ear and then led Xu Wencheng to the study.
I don't know what the two brothers said to each other, but when Xu Wencheng came out of the study, his face looked a little solemn. He stayed at home quietly for two days, then said goodbye to his family and went to the mountains.
…
For the next half month, Xu Qingye stayed by Song Yuntang's side unless it was necessary, and took care of her meticulously.
"Tang'er, the teacher has sent a letter."
Song Yuntang looked at him.
"Is there something wrong?"
Xu Qingye said calmly, "He said my position has been confirmed, starting from the sixth-rank Imperial Academy editor. He also said that after serving in the capital for half a year, I can apply for an official position outside the capital first, and then return to the capital to have a greater chance of promotion."
Song Yuntang nodded, "Mr. Tang has been an official for many years, so he has his own experience. Since he said that, he must have his reasons. Why don't you consider what he said?"
She knew nothing about official affairs.
But she knew very well that although she was now a county lady, she only had a title and no rights.
Xu Qingye still has to shoulder the responsibilities of the family.
Xu Qingye had his concerns.
"I was thinking, I'll be sent out in half a year. If it's to a place with good weather and good harvests, it'll be fine. But if it's to a barren land, the child will be half a year old, and you've only been giving birth for half a year. By then, I'm afraid you'll have to suffer with me."
But after what happened this time, he would never dare to leave them alone there.
From now on, wherever he is, there will be mother and son.
Song Yuntang shook his head.
"Mrs. Zhu has been following Master Zhu around for more than ten years and has never complained. We are husband and wife. As long as the family is together, what is there to fear? What's more, our family's current financial resources are not as good as before, but in the future the business will definitely grow bigger and bigger, so I guess it won't be that hard."
Xu Qingye smiled with relief.
"Tang'er is so considerate, so I have nothing to fear."
In the future, he will have to work hard to become the greatest support for his wife and children.
Song Yuntang lowered his head and touched his belly with a gentle expression.
"It's been nine and a half months, and the little guy is still living peacefully. I don't know when he can check out."
The man placed his big palm on the back of her hand. "As long as everything is normal, it doesn't matter if it's late. Let's wait patiently. Tang'er, don't be anxious."
"It's not that I'm anxious." Song Yuntang looked at him and said, "I'm just worried that the child won't come out and will delay things in the capital."
The man shook his head calmly.
"Right now, the safety of you and your child is more important than anything else."
