Dong Qin didn't dare peel the egg to eat at the dinner table, keeping it in her hand the whole time, and even after returning to her room, she still felt a sense of euphoria.
After Su Dashan changed his clothes, he found his wife sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, or more accurately, holding an egg in her hand and staring blankly.
He sat down beside her and said, "What are you thinking about, honey? Eggs don't taste good if they're left out too long." He took the egg from her hand, peeled it, and then held it to her mouth.
Dong Qin took small bites, reluctant to finish them all at once; she hadn't eaten eggs in a long time.
"Dashan, why is Mom suddenly being so nice to me?"
Although she was the one who raised the chickens at home, she never even got to touch a chicken feather, let alone get any eggs; those were always her sister-in-law's exclusive privilege.
Su Dashan fell into deep thought; his mother had become a completely different person in the past two days.
He was unsure whether it was really his sister who had advised him against it.
Unable to think of anything, I simply stopped thinking about it. "Anyway, Mom won't harm us. Honey, you eat first. I have to go work in the fields. I'll come back early this afternoon to kill the chicken."
Dong Qin nodded, trying her best to smile at her husband so as not to worry him.
As Su Xiang and his wife walked along the country road, people passed by from time to time, all heading to work in the fields, and they greeted them.
He's the village chief, so people inevitably give him some face.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he whispered in his wife's ear, "Old woman, what are you up to today?"
"What? What's going on?"
"Today they gave Xiaoqin eggs, and tonight they killed a chicken. Everything is strange."
He could understand that Jingya had told him to have those snacks yesterday, but why today?
Yan Ling glanced around and whispered, "No matter what, she's pregnant with the Su family's grandson. We can't afford any mistakes."
Su Xiang's lips twitched, and he put his hands behind his back. "It might not even be a grandson. What if it's a granddaughter? Would you be disappointed?"
He was afraid that the greater his wife's expectations, the greater her disappointment would be, and Xiao Qin might not be able to bear it.
granddaughter?
Yan Ling never imagined that Dong Qin would be carrying a girl. She didn't discriminate against girls, but her affection for Jing was limited to that of her daughter.
Family compound
When the two children got out of school at noon, Su Jingjing hadn't finished cooking lunch yet; she had lost track of time while translating a manuscript.
The two little ones ran all the way back, so they were covered in sweat.
The little one put down his bag and carefully walked to his mother's side.
Su Jingjing wrung out the water droplets from the towel, wiped the sweat from the little guy's forehead, and didn't forget to call out to An'an who was standing to the side.
"An'an, come here, let Mom wipe your sweat."
Li Cheng'an dodged her hand, then realized a second later that he would hurt his mother.
"I can do it myself." He said, taking the towel.
Su Jingjing smiled with relief and patted her daughter's head. "Lunch isn't ready yet. Shall we make a bowl of formula first?"
"Uh-huh."
Mom added sugar, it's so sweet!
The two little ones were quietly holding their bowls and drinking their milk powder, with white rims around their mouths, looking all adorable.
Su Jingjing had one last dish left. After the little guy finished slurping up the last mouthful of milk powder, he handed the bowl to his older brother and ran straight to his mother to squat down.
"Mom, let me help you."
"Okay." Su Jingjing patiently taught the little one how to pick vegetables, and did not send her away just because she was young.
Today's lunch consisted of only the mother and her two children. Su Jingjing looked at the seat beside her and couldn't help but wonder if he hadn't come home for lunch because he was busy.
The little one, munching on corn with kernels stuck to the corners of his mouth, belatedly asked, "Hey, Mom, isn't Dad coming home for dinner?"
"He must be busy."
As Su Jingjing spoke, she wiped the corn kernels from the corner of the little guy's mouth.
"Eat up, Dad won't go hungry."
That's true. With Li Hanting's looks, he could easily make a living anywhere.
After the two children went to school, Su Jingjing, having nothing else to do, cleaned their shoes and put them out to dry in the sun.
She continued translating the manuscript, putting all of her monthly living expenses into it.
I sat at my desk and worked for two hours, translating two short stories.
I stretched and suddenly had a whimsical idea: why not go to the military kindergarten to pick up the two little ones from school?
She's been here for almost a month and hasn't been to any places yet. Since she's going to be a good mother to two little ones, she should try to learn more about them.
After tidying up quickly, Su Jingjing locked the door and went outside.
The kindergarten is right next to the military base, only a seven or eight-minute walk away.
At this time, many family members also went to the kindergarten together. Anyway, they had nothing to do all day long, and their main task every day was to take good care of the children.
The kindergarten entrance was quite ordinary, unlike the fancy ones of later generations. Peeking inside, it was quite small, but it was still good that the children had the opportunity to study.
"Jingjing, are you coming to pick up An'an and Yuanyuan from school?"
He Zhaodi was in the crowd when she vaguely saw a figure standing still. When she turned her head, she could see clearly and quickly went up to greet him.
"Yes, Zhao Di, are you here to pick up Xiao Yun?"
It must be said that although Zhao Di was a bit weak-willed, she took great care of Xiao Yun and thought of her in everything.
"Yes, there's plenty of time in the afternoon, so I usually come to pick you up and drop you off."
Kindergarten lets out around 4 p.m., so I can cook dinner as soon as I get home; the timing is just right.
After the two chatted for a few minutes, the kindergarten bell rang, and the children rushed out with smiles on their faces, because school was over and it was time to eat.
Only Li Cheng'an walked out quietly, not in a hurry at all.
The little guy watched the other children running around and felt a strong urge to join them. He then shook his older brother's arm and said, "Brother, I want to go home and see Mom as soon as possible."
"No rush, there are too many people, I'm afraid I'll bump into you."
Li Cheng'an, a doting brother, always puts his sister's needs first.
"Okay, brother, I'll listen to you."
Li Yuanyuan knew that her brother was doing it for her own good, so apart from matters concerning their mother, she always listened to him.
Just as they reached the door, Li Cheng'an, holding his sister's hand, was about to turn right when he heard a familiar voice.
“An'an and Yuanyuan, here.”
The two little ones instinctively turned around and saw their mother not far away. Li Yuanyuan raised her little face and called out in surprise, "Mommy..."
The next second, she broke free from her brother's hand and ran towards her mother.
Li Cheng'an followed closely behind, afraid that his younger sister would be bumped into.
"Yuanyuan, slow down."
But the little one ignored her and only wanted to be in his mother's arms.
Su Jingjing opened her arms and hugged the soft, cuddly little one.
The mother and daughter hugged and cuddled, and the little one happily asked, "Mommy, did you come to pick up Yuanyuan and her brother from school?"
She was so happy that her mom came to pick her up from school!
Her visit today shows how flattered the two little ones are.
It's not surprising, since the original owner never cared about the two children.
"Yes, Mom will try her best to pick you and your brother up and drop you off whenever she has time, okay?"
"Okay, Yuanyuan likes it."
Li Cheng'an, who was standing to the side in fear, did not expect his mother to come over. Admittedly, he was also happy.
The mother and her two children strolled happily back home.
