Chapter 928 Chapter 928, The Army Approaches
"Look, your attitude has softened over the past two days. Mother is so happy."
Daohua sat in the armchair and soaked her feet.
Because she is in the late stage of pregnancy, her legs are a little swollen, and now she has to soak her feet in hot water every night.
Xiao Yeyang sat on a stool, soaking his hands in hot water, and was helping Daohua massage her feet and legs.
Daohua continued, "Uncle Chu is actually a pretty good guy. Although he's a bit informal, he's very caring towards Mother. With him taking care of Mother, we can feel more at ease, right?"
Xiao Yeyang lowered his head and said nothing.
Daohua glanced at him and said, "Don't be jealous of Uncle Chu."
Xiao Yeyang looked up and glared: "Who is jealous of him? Don't talk nonsense."
Daohua curled her lips: "As soon as you and Uncle Chu met, you started to get upset, like you couldn't stand each other. I could smell the jealousy coming from you from a long distance away."
Xiao Yeyang was touched by what he was thinking and couldn't help but tickle Daohua's round little chubby feet. Daohua was ticklish and immediately started laughing.
"Stop talking nonsense. I'm a grown man and I don't like to be jealous."
Daohua laughed for a while before stopping, then she stretched out her foot angrily, as if to kick Xiao Yeyang.
Xiao Yeyang quickly grabbed Daohua's ankle, then calmly took the dry towel from Guyu's hand and helped Daohua wipe her feet dry.
Then he picked up Daohua and put her on the bed.
After Daohua lay down on the pillow, Xiao Yeyang put Daohua's legs on his legs and began to massage them gently.
"Your legs are so swollen. When I'm not home, remember to ask Guyu and the others to massage you every night."
Daohua nodded: "I know."
Xiao Yeyang was silent for a moment: "I have to go to Jinweiwei early tomorrow morning."
Daohua was reluctant to leave, but she didn't show it on her face: "Go, I have Master and Mother to take care of you, you don't have to worry."
Western Liao has been restless during this period, and it is not easy for Xiao Yeyang to find time to come back and stay for two days.
Xiao Yeyang touched Daohua's belly and said, "I will definitely come back when the baby is born."
Daohua smiled and said, "Master and the four maids have all checked and said the baby will be due around mid-May."
Xiao Yeyang: "I've got it." He said, resting his head on his stomach.
At this moment, the little guy in her belly moved, Daohua cried out "ouch", but Xiao Yeyang grinned.
"The child is greeting me. He must know that I'm leaving and he doesn't want to leave me."
Daohua glanced at the foolishly smiling Xiao Yeyang and was too lazy to refute him.
The next morning, when Daohua was still asleep, Xiao Yeyang went to greet Gu Jian, then went to see Guo Ruomei and Chu Lang, and then left on horseback.
Looking at Xiao Yeyang's receding figure, Chu Lang said, "It's not easy for this guy. He's about to give birth, and he still has to go out to inspect and train the troops."
Guo Ruomei immediately looked over and asked, "Then why are you still looking for trouble with Yang'er?"
Chu Lang felt very aggrieved: "I'm looking for trouble with him? Every time he looks at me and says, 'My nose is not my nose, my eyes are not my eyes, okay?'"
Guo Ruomei was silent for a moment. Her son did have a bad temper, but she said, "You're the elder, so you should be more tolerant. Besides, if he's being rude to you, it's your own fault."
Hearing this, Chu Lang was speechless: "Yes, yes, I took his mother away, so he should be unhappy. Next time he comes back, I will definitely be more tolerant."
Guo Ruomei stopped talking and turned back to go back home to see the rice flowers.
Although Daohua and Guo Ruomei had met several times, the time was always very short. Both of them were a little uncomfortable with suddenly living under the same roof.
Daohua was respectful and polite to her mother-in-law when facing Guo Ruomei;
Guo Ruomei didn't want to give her daughter-in-law the impression that she was nosy. Even if some people in the mansion were not to her liking, she would not express her opinions, giving people the impression that she was a little distant and cold.
As a result, the way the two of them get along is a bit too polite and not close enough.
Gu Jian and Chu Lang, who were standing by, felt a little tired watching this.
However, Daohua and Guo Ruomei didn't think much of it. People need to get used to each other when getting along with each other, and there's nothing wrong with being polite and distant at the beginning.
Guo Ruomei had been pregnant and given birth before, so she understood the psychology of a woman about to give birth. When they chatted, she mostly tried to comfort Daohua.
This made Daohua feel much more relaxed and less nervous about production.
On April 15th, Guo Ruomei was talking to Daohua about the interesting things that happened in Xiao Yeyang's childhood when Chu Lang walked in with a serious look on his face.
Guo Ruomei immediately noticed something was wrong with him, but because Daohua was there, she didn't ask. After Daohua returned to her own yard, she asked, "What's wrong?"
Chu Lang: "Yesterday, 250,000 troops from Western Liao appeared on the border of Xintunwei."
Guo Ruomei was shocked, but she didn't panic: "How come Western Liao came so quickly?"
Chu Lang shook his head: "Based on the current situation, Western Liao is preparing for a major war with Daxia."
Guo Ruomei frowned, looking a little worried: "Can Yang'er hold on?"
Chu Lang: "The border troops stationed in Xiliang are already gathering at Xintunwei. They should be fine." He looked at Guo Ruomei and asked, "Should we tell Yan girl about this?"
Guo Ruomei was silent for a moment. "The Western Liao army is approaching. This matter cannot be concealed. Instead of her hearing it from others, it's better for me to tell her first to avoid scaring her."
Seeing Guo Ruomei frowning, Chu Lang thought for a moment and said, "Do you want me to go to Xintunwei? I'll make sure nothing happens to that brat while I'm here."
Guo Ruomei shook her head: "No, you don't have to go. We will all stay in Ganzhou City and protect Yiyi. Only then can Yang'er have no worries."
Hearing this, Chu Lang said no more.
Guo Ruomei prepared a plan in her mind and thought about how to tell Daohua, then she walked towards the main courtyard.
When Daohua heard that the Western Liao army was approaching, her heart tightened, but she had been prepared for this, so she remained calm and held her stomach without getting too panicked.
Seeing that Daohua was able to handle the situation well, Guo Ruomei secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Leave the fighting to Yang'er. You just need to take good care of yourself now. If you get too anxious, the baby in your belly will also be frightened."
Daohua forced a smile on her face: "Don't worry, mother, I'm fine."
Guo Ruomei sighed in her heart. As a soldier's family member, it was inevitable to be worried and afraid.
Daohua had no time to worry. She quickly calculated the amount of food. Fortunately, Qin Xiaoliu had already transported two batches of food, so the military rations should be sufficient.
On the other side, Gu Jian also received the news and hurried to Daohua's yard. Seeing that Daohua was still calm, he felt relieved.
"Yeyang is still quite capable. A mere 250,000 Western Liao people is no problem. Don't let your imagination run wild."
Seeing that General Gu Jian made it sound like annihilating the Western Liao army was a piece of cake, Daohua couldn't help but smile: "Master, of course I believe Xiao Yeyang."
