Chapter 29 Going Home Together
As soon as he said this, Mrs. Du and others turned their attention to Du Jingxiang's bulging belly.
In his eyes and in his words, he was happy for his daughter's pregnancy.
Du Jingxiang is the first daughter of the Du couple.
This is the first child that Mr. Du had when he was over 30 years old, so he loves and dotes on the child especially much.
She was not raised to be willful and capricious, but rather she was exceptionally gentle and kind.
In Du Jingyi's words, she was like a little lamb emerging from a fox's den, so the whole family protected her very well.
Unexpectedly, at a banquet, she fell in love at first sight with the only son of the He family in Pingzhou.
At first, he didn't want her to marry far away, but Du Jingxiang had made up his mind.
In addition, the He family was indeed a trustworthy family, so they agreed to the marriage.
Now, they are all back.
Mrs. Du was happy in her heart and asked with a smile on her face.
"Why did you come back so suddenly? And you're pregnant, aren't you afraid of causing trouble?"
Du Jingxiang asked questions as soon as she saw her mother open her mouth, fearing that her husband would not be able to handle it.
He immediately spoke up to come to the rescue.
"Shilin came here originally for the next year's spring exam. My daughter thought it had been a while since she came back to see them, so she asked her parents-in-law for permission to come with Shilin. But halfway through, she found out that she was already two months pregnant. Shilin was afraid that I would be affected by the bumpy ride, so the journey that should have taken two months took more than four months. Naturally, my belly has grown like a balloon."
Her explanation made everyone present understand.
But when Mrs. Du heard these words, she was not happy but angry and scolded.
"Nonsense, you don't even know you're pregnant. How can you be a mother? Running around with a big belly, you're really..."
He raised his hand as if to hit him, but he just wanted to scare Du Jingxiang.
Unexpectedly, He Shilin rushed over quickly and immediately walked to the lady's side, protecting her and speaking.
"If the mother-in-law is angry, just vent it on the son-in-law, don't hurt Xiang Niang."
"you……"
He Shilin's serious look made everyone laugh.
It is said that the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him.
Mrs. Du, who is usually a little strict, was smiling happily at this moment.
"Don't worry, brother-in-law. My sister is pregnant now. She is like a great amulet for you. Even if you hit me, you will never hit my sister!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
With Du Jingyi's intervention, the atmosphere became more harmonious.
"Come on, go in and sit down first. I'll ask your father to ask someone to clean up Quxi Courtyard so that you and your brother-in-law can live more comfortably."
"Thank you, mother."
Du Jingxiang is only in his early twenties now.
Although she and Du Jingyi are sisters, they look quite different.
If she is a beautiful and charming crabapple flower, then Du Jingxiang is a pure and weak little white rabbit.
From childhood to adulthood, my gentle personality seems to be made of porcelain. I cannot be touched easily, otherwise I will cry with tears in my eyes, feeling sad about the passing of time.
It made Du Jingyi seem a little heartless.
However, in her opinion, Du Jingxiang, the elder sister, did a good job.
Whenever there is any benefit, I think of her first.
Therefore, the relationship between the two sisters is really good. At the same time, she sincerely hopes that her sister can live a more comfortable life.
Mrs. Du and Du Jingyi supported Du Jingxiang on both sides, found a nanmu armchair and sat down.
I even put a soft pillow behind her, just in case she felt uncomfortable.
"Let's get a doctor to check it out later. You're not very young this month, so you need to prepare everything you need."
Although there was joy in Mrs. Du's eyes, there was more worry.
It is not easy for women, especially giving birth to their first child.
One can easily go wrong if you are not careful.
Mrs. Du raised her two daughters with great love and could not bear to see them suffer.
Seeing this, Du Jingyi also came over and said with a smile.
"I have a lot of supplements here. I will send them to you when I get back. I will make sure you give birth to a plump and fair nephew or niece for me!"
These thoughtful words made Du Jingxiang laugh as well.
It was indeed not easy for her to have this baby.
She has been married to her husband He Shilin for more than four years, but there has been no movement in her pregnancy.
Her parents-in-law were kind people and never mentioned anything in front of her.
But she still hoped to give birth to a son or daughter, so that she and her husband could have a continuation of their emotional bond, and her parents-in-law and grandchildren would be around her.
Therefore, she naturally had to take care of this baby with extreme care.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
So, he said to his sister Du Jingyi.
"Okay, I will definitely eat what you bring me."
The two sisters smiled at each other, as if they were back in the past.
But now, both of them are married.
She is no longer the pretty girl in the boudoir.
The three of them were talking in private, and Mr. Du next to them was not idle either.
When he looked at his son-in-law He Shilin, he was also very pleased, so he pulled him aside and started talking.
"You are now a juren, so just study hard for another half a year. You will surely pass the imperial examination next spring and bring honor to the He family!"
His words really touched He Shilin's heart.
He had been studying hard day and night since he started learning at the age of four, so naturally he had some ambitions.
Now that his wife is pregnant, he likes both boys and girls.
As long as he waits until he enters high school next year, his life will be complete.
Therefore, he immediately replied respectfully.
"Thank you for your appreciation, father-in-law. I am where I am today thanks to your support. I will work hard in the future and will remain loyal to Xiangniang."
Mr. Du nodded with a smile.
He is indeed a good son-in-law chosen by his wife. After all, his wife has never made a mistake when it comes to judging people.
When Du Jingxiang heard these words, he felt both relieved and shy. He smiled and said.
"Shilin is right."
Such a sweet and sweet look made Du Jingyi feel a little bit amused.
It turns out that all of them are redundant, and only the couple are concerned about each other.
The Du couple were also very happy when they saw it.
Since their daughter and her son-in-law have a good relationship, they are all happy to watch the fun.
Mr. Du couldn't help laughing.
"That's great. Xiangxiang and her husband are in harmony, Tangtang and the young master are also respectful to each other. Your father gave birth to you and I have finally waited so long for you two girls to grow up..."
Mr. Du was about to say something touching but was interrupted by Du Jingyi.
"Daddy, my sister and I are both born of our mother, don't take the credit for me."
Her words immediately destroyed everyone's sad mood.
Poor Du Jingxiang, the handkerchief in his hand had already reached the corners of his eyes. He was about to cry while speaking, but he forced himself to hold it back.
I have to say that Du Jingyi is really the "happy pill" of the family.
