Song Xijiao was picking roses from the rose bushes. She was wearing a white off-the-shoulder top and a light-colored long skirt. She was counting them silently: "One, two, three..."
Pei He thought about this and that all day, and as if by some strange coincidence, he came to the rose bushes and saw the woman's fair shoulders shining in the sun, her skin as white as cream. That was probably it.
"What are you picking flowers for?"
The flowers in Song Xijiao's hand also fell to the ground, and she patted her chest.
"Of course, I pick them to make flower cakes. What else can I do?"
After she finished speaking, she picked up the flowers that had fallen on the ground and counted them again: "One, two..."
Flower cakes?
She also made it for herself.
But he just gave it to his brothers.
When she asked, he said impatiently: "I ate it, I ate it. It's just a few pieces of bread. Are you annoying?"
Looking back now, she must have been very sad.
"You... last night... last night, did you sleep together?"
Pei Hetong's throat was dry and his eyes were evasive. He didn't even know what the meaning of this question was.
Song Xijiao put the flowers in the basket with a frank expression:
"We are husband and wife, we don't sleep together, so where do you think we should sleep?"
Pei Hetong strode forward, grabbed her wrist, and stared at her with gloomy eyes.
"Did you do this on purpose? You knew that Wanqing and I..."
"Stop."
"I don't want to know about your love."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, but Pei Hetong grabbed her wrist.
"My uncle..."
"Bang…"?
Pei Hetong was thrown away by a force, his body falling backward uncontrollably, hitting the fence with a loud bang.
He groaned, clutching his chest in pain, and looked up to see Pei Zhiting standing before him with a gloomy expression.
"Pei Hetong." Song Xijiao interrupted him with a cold look in her eyes: "What qualifications do you have to question me? I have no right to interfere in your affairs with Lin Wanqing, but you have even less right to interfere in the affairs between me and Pei Zhiting."
An inexplicable irritation welled up in his heart. Looking at the bright roses in the basket, he raised his foot and kicked the basket hard.
Pei Zhiting took a step closer, put his hand on his shoulder, and patted him once, twice, three times, and four times.
"He Tong, I hate people who are fickle and always want more. If you dare to harass Jiaojiao again, I don't mind putting you in the hospital again."
Pei Hetong felt a dull pain in his shoulder, and he was angry and annoyed, but he didn't dare to show it.
"Uncle, I didn't, I just..."
"Just what?"
Pei Zhiting moved the hand that was patting his shoulder to Pei Hetong's neck, and his fingers slowly tightened.
"Just to annoy me?"
"You still want to say some nonsensical nonsense to sow discord between us."
"I……"
Pei Zhiting withdrew his hand, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped his fingers one by one, and threw the handkerchief on Pei Hetong's face.
Lin Wanqing hurried over and saw Pei He sitting on the ground with a painful look on his face. She ran over and helped him up.
"Why are you so arrogant? You really think you are so great, but in fact..."
Pei Hetong didn't continue speaking. Now was not the time to break up with Pei Zhiting.
In July, the fruits and vegetables were fragrant. Song Xijiao went to the farm to pick blueberries, peaches, and grapes...
Went to visit Gu Mingyan who was giving birth.
She had just had a caesarean section and was still very weak, with a pale face without a trace of blood.
"You're finally here."
Gu Mingyan held her hand, tears streaming down her face.
"What's wrong?"
Song Xijiao helped her lean against the head of the bed and poured her a cup of warm water.
"It hurts so much. Giving birth is not fun at all. It hurts so much."
Song Xijiao smiled and took out some wild mushrooms from the bag and handed them to her.
"These are wild mushrooms. When you are old enough to eat them, I will make you some soup. They are so delicious."
"You still understand me."
Gu Mingyan placed the mushrooms on the bedside table and pulled her aside to complain.
"You don't know how much suffering I went through giving birth to this child."
"I thought the surgery would be enough, but once the anesthetic wore off, the wound started to hurt. It was so painful that I couldn't sleep all night."
Song Xijiao peeled a peach for her, cut it into small pieces and fed them to her mouth.
Gu Mingyan sobbed while chewing a peach.
"I was so scared, I thought I was going to die."
"I finally understand that begging the doctor to give you a quick death is like asking death to be your worst nightmare. I also begged the doctor to give me another injection of anesthesia, but he coldly refused, saying that too much anesthesia can easily make you stupid."
Gu Mingyan was speaking with tears in her eyes, but Song Xijiao smiled and fed the peach into her mouth.
"So, we still have to love ourselves. I've decided that I want to live to be ninety-nine."
Song Xijiao fed her another piece of peach.
"Where's your son?"
It's much more comfortable than talking to her own mother and mother-in-law. Her mother cares about her, and when she sheds tears, she cries like a torrential rain.
My mother-in-law cares about her child, and talking to her is like talking to a cow.
“…”
“…”
Gu Mingyan took the child, held his little hand and greeted Song Xijiao.
"Happiness, I don't think so. Maybe it's because my mom and mother-in-law are smart. How could two smart people let themselves get stuck in a swamp?"
Gu Mingyan thought about it and felt that it made sense.
“…”
“…”
"Don't fight head-on, use your wits."
"Yes, outsmarting, Jiaojiao, you are really smart."
