Chapter 258: Give the baby in your belly a nickname
That evening.
When Qin Jiulie came back, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
It was cold and dark.
When Qin Jiulie walked outside the courtyard, he noticed that there was no light on in the house and it was pitch black.
Maybe Jiang Ning went to visit his sister-in-law next door.
Qin Jiulie didn't doubt too much. He walked into the yard, opened the door, and walked into the house.
With a creaking sound.
The door opens.
Just as Qin Jiulie was about to turn on the light, he heard a soft sound, slowly coming towards him along with the rhythm of music.
"Happy birthday to you~Happy birthday to you~"
"Happy birthday to you~Happy birthday to you~"
Qin Jiulie's hand, which was about to turn on the light, suddenly stopped.
As Jiang Ning sang the birthday song, a faint light appeared.
She walked out of the small kitchen slowly.
The faint firelight danced in the air, reflecting on Jiang Ning's delicate face.
What Jiang Ning was holding in his hand was a cake made of bread and biscuits.
No cream, no frosting.
Even the candle was just a small one.
But when Jiang Ning brought it out, it was the best birthday cake Qin Jiulie had ever had.
"Jiulie, happy birthday."
Jiang Ning held the birthday cake and walked carefully in front of Qin Jiulie.
In the light, her smile is sweeter than the cake.
Qin Jiulie felt numb and tingling in his heart.
He said hoarsely, "Wife, how do you know my birthday?"
"It's not clearly written on the marriage certificate. I saw it once and remembered it."
Jiang Ning smiled sweetly and spoke softly.
Qin Jiulie’s birthday is actually in three days.
But three days later, Qin Jiulie had already gone to the front line, and the two of them separated.
So Jiang Ning and Qin Jiulie tacitly did not mention the specific birthday date.
Instead, treat this day as your birthday.
"It's time to blow out the candles and make a wish."
At Jiang Ning's reminder, Qin Jiulie closed his eyes.
The man had very long eyelashes, and when he lowered his eyes, long shadows were reflected on his face by the candlelight.
When the candlelight flickers.
The light flickered on that deep and three-dimensional face.
Qin Jiulie looked focused and made a silent wish.
When he opened his eyes again, there was an unprecedented tenderness in his deep black pupils.
He blew out the candle gently.
"Okay, turn on the light—"
As Jiang Ning was speaking, he suddenly felt a force on his waist.
She was hugged into the man's warm chest.
Immediately following.
Jiang Ning was kissed hard.
As the man's breath invaded her, her hands trembled.
With a clang.
The plates, cakes and cookies in her hands fell to the ground.
But neither of them cared.
Instead, they kissed silently in the dark.
…
After a long time.
In the small kitchen.
A dim light came on.
Jiang Ning was accompanying Qin Jiulie and eating his birthday dinner tonight.
A bowl of hot longevity noodles.
A crispy fried egg.
Jiang Ning hasn't cooked for a long time since his health got worse.
But she spent a long time preparing today's bowl of longevity noodles.
Just look at the clear soup base, which is chicken soup simmered over low heat with some Chinese medicinal herbs added.
Clear, translucent, not greasy at all.
The Chinese medicinal materials chosen are mild, can enhance the freshness, and there is no bitter taste of Chinese medicine at all.
The soup is filled with chewy noodles and sprinkled with some green onions.
It’s delicious and has good color, aroma and taste.
Not only that, Jiang Ning also put a lot of thought into the noodles.
A long stick, without any breaks from beginning to end, is put into a large bowl in circles.
Qin Jiulie realized it when he picked up the noodles.
He slowly ate the bowl of longevity noodles that was filled with Jiang Ning's love.
Jiang Ning stood aside, propped up his arms, holding his chin, and silently staring at Qin Jiulie.
The young couple didn't need to say a word.
This warm atmosphere has already penetrated deeply into my heart.
But after this hot dinner.
Qin Jiulie had to say it.
"Wife, it's tomorrow."
He is leaving tomorrow.
He held Jiang Ning's hand tightly in his palm.
Everyone knows it well and has a specific time.
Jiang Ning knew it clearly in his heart, but his heart still skipped a beat when he heard it.
Qin Jiulie said guiltily.
"Wife, I'm sorry I can't spend your birthday with you."
Jiang Ning’s birthday is in the first month of the lunar year.
Not only could Qin Jiulie not be able to celebrate Jiang Ning's birthday with her, he also missed her delivery, the birth of his child, the child's full moon... all of these.
Jiang Ning was stunned.
But soon, the corners of his mouth moved.
She laughed again.
Jiang Ning placed the hand that she was holding with Qin Jiulie on her round belly.
She knew how much Qin Jiulie loved the two children, and she also knew how regretful Qin Jiulie was.
So he suggested softly.
"Hubby, please give the babies some nicknames."
"I want Yaya and Sui Sui."
Qin Jiulie said it directly without pausing.
Obviously, he had been thinking about these two names over and over in his mind for a long time before he finally decided on them.
"Buds...Spices..." Jiang Ning murmured, "Is it Spring Buds and Autumn Spikes?"
Qin Jiulie nodded, "Yes."
Spring buds, new buds in spring.
Autumn ears, fruits of autumn.
There is no better imagery than these two words.
Jiang Ning raised the corners of his lips, smiled very happily, and said while touching his belly.
"Little babies, did you hear that? You have names now. They are Yaya and Suisui. These are the names your daddy gave you~"
"Hello, Yaya, Sui Sui. Dad will come back as soon as possible and look forward to meeting you."
