Qiu Xia's mother once told her that a girl would get pregnant if she held hands with a man. She had believed this for many years and it had become deeply ingrained in her mind.
Even though she gradually realized that the statement was not true, she always adhered to the bottom line. She and Qu Mingjun were physically intimate that time, and she believed that it was already their wedding night.
But how could she explain this to him?
"The night I married him, we slept together... but he didn't seem to... didn't go in..."
"Puchi~Hahaha..." It was the first time that Qi Jingyan laughed so heartily.
"What are you laughing at?" Qiu Xia almost buried her head and face in the quilt because of his laughter.
Qi Jingyan said mischievously, "I'm happy now. Now I'm finally sure that Qu Mingjun is really sick, but I still have to go and thank him someday for keeping my wife for more than four years."
Although he doesn't mind whether Qiu Xia is virgin or not, compared with the two, the latter is better, isn't it?
No matter how dumb Qiu Xia was, she could still hear some other meaning in his words. She shrunk back into the quilt and said, "Sleep."
"Don't rush to sleep, the work is not done yet."
The room fell into darkness again, and was filled with the beauty of the waves...
One month before Si Yang's due date, Aunt Wu came to Yangcheng carrying a lot of bags.
Pei Tingyu went to the train station to pick someone up in person, and Si Yang temporarily took Annie back into the space.
When Aunt Wu walked in and saw Si Yang's belly, her face lit up with joy. "You two are really amazing. You got pregnant in the second year of your marriage. As soon as I received Xiao Yu's telegram, I quickly prepared everything and came here. I was afraid that you young people would rush around and cause trouble."
"Godmother, please come and sit for a while! It's very tiring to take the train." Si Yang looked at Aunt Wu, whose eyes were full of love. Her enthusiasm and kindness were very contagious.
"I'm not tired. I even slept all the way on the train. I'm still in good spirits!"
After Aunt Wu finished speaking, she asked Pei Tingyu to put the things she brought on the table.
She brought food such as old hens, dried shrimps, millet, brown sugar, red dates, pear paste candy, and muffins.
He also brought baby clothes, tiger-head hats, tiger-head shoes, and open-crotch pants, a complete set from head to toe, and even dozens of diapers.
"Godmother, we have prepared everything, you can just come empty-handed, why do you bring so many things?" Pei Tingyu looked at the pile of big and small bags, feeling helpless.
"I know you have everything, but what I brought is my gift to my beloved grandson, which is different. I originally prepared a hundred eggs, but when we got on the train, there were too many people and all the eggs were broken. Even the chickens almost flew away. I was so angry~" Aunt Wu recalled how she was in such a miserable state that she almost lost both the chickens and the eggs, and she was so angry that her heart ached.
After hearing this, the couple looked at each other in a state of confusion, this old lady was really brave, like she had three heads and six arms.
Pei Tingyu was busy putting the things she brought into the kitchen. The three old hens were laying hens that she had raised in the yard earlier. She originally wanted to keep them at home to continue laying eggs, but when she thought of her lazy son and daughter-in-law, she was afraid that if the hens stayed with them, not only would they not continue to lay eggs, they would all be cooked in a few days.
So she simply brought it over and stewed it for Si Yang to eat while she was in confinement.
Pei Tingyu untied the chicken and gave it to Si Yang, who then put it in the space and kept it there. He would catch it and kill it when it was time to eat.
Si Yang took Aunt Wu to her room. The guest room originally had two iron beds, but now only one was left, so the space became much more spacious.
Si Yang had already made the bed for her. It was covered with brand new cashmere blankets and quilts, which were soft and very warm.
The wardrobe, recliner, radio, wall clock, thermos... everything in the room is brand new.
Si Yang opened the wardrobe, and there were several new sets of clothes for all seasons hanging inside.
Aunt Wu's eyes became tearful as she watched, "You guys are so thoughtful."
Si Yang took her wrinkled hand and comforted her: "Godmother, from now on, wherever Tingyu and I are, that will be your home. Just tell me if you need anything."
Tears streamed down Aunt Wu's eyes. "Everything is available here. I don't need anything."
"You must have had a hard journey. Would you like to rest for a while?"
"What's so hard about this? I'm so happy. Oh, and I made a few sets of small underwear for the children. They've been sitting in the closet for a few months and need to be washed again..."
