Xiao Lingdang sighed, "Sister Tong, go get someone to pack some clothes for you and your godmother. Let's go back to Shuanghe Village and stay there for a while."
"The refugee issue will become increasingly difficult to handle. I'm pregnant now, so it's not suitable for me to worry about it. It's not good for my health, and it's not good for Baobao either."
Wu Tongtong's eyes lit up. "That's great. Mother was very happy when she was in the village before. I'll ask someone to prepare it right away."
Xiao Lingdang nodded, and the servants followed Wu Tongtong to leave to pack up. She had the opportunity to take Xia Yan's pulse.
By the way, while no one was around, he changed the water in the teapot next to him and let Xia Yan drink two cups later.
After checking her pulse, there are indeed some signs of liver fire stagnation, which is not a good thing for a pregnant woman.
Before Xiao Lingling could withdraw her hand, Xia Yan woke up.
She looked at the little bell beside her and was stunned for a moment, and it took her a long time to react.
"Baby? When did you come? Why didn't you wake me up?"
Seeing that she remembered, Xiao Lingdang hurried forward to support her, "I just got here too, and I saw that my godmother was sleeping soundly, so I didn't call you.
Come, the weather is too hot, have a cup of tea to moisten your throat first. I didn’t know this before I came, you look so thin.”
Xia Yan wiped the sweat from her head and felt thirsty, so she drank the whole cup of tea in one breath.
But, I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I feel like the depression in my heart has dissipated a lot.
"Phew, it's nothing. It's just been too hot lately. I really don't have much of an appetite. I eat less, so I naturally lose weight. Actually, I'm in good health."
Xiao Lingling naturally didn't believe it, but she didn't argue with her.
"That won't do. Your little brother needs a lot of nutrition right now. If you don't eat, he will have to absorb it from your body, which will be too much for your body and it will be dangerous when he gives birth.
But it's okay. I've already asked Sister Tong and the others to pack up. You can stay with me for a few days. I'm telling you, we recently harvested a lot of rice.
These days, I can eat two extra bowls of rice when I cook with the newly harvested rice. It’s so delicious, and I’m sure you’ll like it too.”
Xia Yan was an adult after all, and she knew what was going on immediately. She was very happy about the children's concern for her.
However, she didn't want to leave, especially when Wu Bokai was working so hard.
She couldn't see, so she was always worried. Therefore, she would rather stay with him.
"No, no, I'm in good health and much stronger than before. It's just been hot lately, and I'll feel much better after using ice.
Under the current circumstances, I won't go. I'm already pregnant, so I don't need to bother you guys.
Even when my parents came to visit a few days ago, I didn’t go with them.”
Seeing her like this, Xiao Lingdang sighed, "Godmother, please listen to me! Godfather is worried about you being here in this state.
Don't worry, Godfather has found a solution. Although it will be tiring and busy, it won't be dangerous."
Xia Yan wanted to say something, but saw Wu Bokai walking towards her from the front yard with a smile on his face.
Xia Yan hadn't seen him smile for several days and was a little surprised for a moment.
Wu Bokai came to the corridor and squatted in front of Xia Yan.
"Yan'er, be good and just listen to Little Bell. The walls of Shuanghe Village are now complete, so it's still very safe.
Moreover, since you are here, I have to worry about your health. I am not a doctor, so I can only watch you lose your appetite. This makes me feel worse than anything else.
So, be good, as long as you and the children are safe and healthy, no matter how tired I am, I will be happy in my heart.
I promise you, I will resolve these matters as soon as possible, and then go to Shuanghe Village to pick you up, okay?"
I don’t know if it’s the influence of pregnancy, but although Xia Yan looks weak, she is still very strong inside, and her eyes are red at this moment.
Looking at the dark circles under Wu Bokai's eyes, he resisted the urge to touch them and nodded.
"Okay, I promise you. But you also have to promise me that no matter how busy or tired you are, you must not forget to eat or sleep.
I'll wait for you to pick us up."
Wu Bokai smiled more, "Okay, I promise you! Don't worry about me, I have a lot of people to help me.
Just take care of your health. I'll come see you if I have time."
Since the decision had been made, Xia Yan no longer objected.
However, Xiao Lingling was still concerned about the orphans, so she asked Wu Bokai for a carriage.
"Godmother, you guys take your time packing up, don't worry. Godfather, can I lend you a carriage so I can go see Xie Fan and the others?
We probably won’t be out again for a long time, so I have to go say hello to them.”
Wu Bokai understood and nodded quickly, "Okay, go ahead, just go find Liu Fu directly."
Xiao Lingling patted Xia Yan's arm, turned and went to the front yard, leaving the backyard for their family to talk.
When Liu Fu heard that she needed a car, he immediately became the driver without saying a word.
Horse-drawn carriages shuttled through the county, and the former prosperity had faded a bit. Many small vendors had disappeared, and many shops were closed.
Little Bell felt uncomfortable watching this.
The carriage stopped smoothly at the gate. Seeing that the gate was closed, Liu Fu went forward and knocked on the door.
"Is anyone there? Open the door, the second young lady is here."
Soon, a series of footsteps were heard from inside. From the sound, it was clear that the person coming was probably not very old.
The door opened and a girl poked her head out. When she saw the little bell, a smile appeared on her face.
"Ms. Lin! You're here."
Xiao Lingling smiled and walked in. "Well, I came to see you guys. How are you? How are you doing recently?"
Huang Qing smiled and nodded, "It's pretty good. Although there has been some chaos recently and we dare not go out, the county magistrate sent us some food. If we save it a little, it will be enough for us to eat for a long time."
There were many children in the yard. Several girls were washing clothes by the well, and several boys were weeding in the vegetable garden at the corner of the wall. They were all busy.
Xiao Lingling looked very satisfied, "That's good. You all know the recent situation in and outside the city. I probably won't be able to come here for a while.
I came here to see how you are doing and to give you some money so that you can use it in case of any emergency.
As for what I said before, what do you think about it?"
Xiao Lingling handed two ingots of ten-liang silver to Huang Qing who was standing beside her, but Huang Qing didn't dare to take both and only took one.
"Miss Lin, this is a loan from us. We will definitely pay it back later. These ten taels are enough.
As for what you mentioned before, we have discussed it. They are still young, so forget it. All ten of us can do it.
If we have talent, we can be either martial artists or medicine boys. Those of us without talent can stay and take care of our younger brothers and sisters."
