As Beibei's school day approached, Tao Xiaoxi intentionally instilled some knowledge into her in advance, but Beibei was indeed not very talented, especially in mathematics, and she couldn't understand it no matter how much she talked.
That evening, Tao Xiaoxi was exhausted and on the verge of losing her temper because of a few math problems.
"You said your mother is so smart, why are you so stupid?" Tao Xiaoxi threw the pencil on the table and broke it.
"Mom?" Beibei called out excitedly.
"What are you doing?" Tao Xiaoxi touched her already big belly. If the baby in her belly was this difficult to take care of, she would have to live at least twenty years less.
"You just mentioned your mother!" Beibei seemed particularly happy.
"What's wrong? I am your mother, that's right." Now it was Tao Xiaoxi's turn who didn't understand.
"That's right, that's right, you are my mother. Mom, you take a rest, I will calculate it myself, I guarantee it will be figured out." Beibei seemed to come to life, his face full of energy.
Tao Xiaoxi reflected on what she had just said, and suddenly something clicked in her mind. It turned out that, without realizing it, she had truly become that mother.
At the beginning, Tao Xiaoxi only had a legal and moral mother-daughter relationship with Beibei, and did not really consider herself a mother. But now, she has accepted Beibei as her daughter emotionally, and feels from the bottom of her heart that she is a mother.
Although Beibei is young, she has been waiting for Tao Xiaoxi to call her "your mother" in her heart!
Thinking of this, Tao Xiaoxi suddenly couldn't bear it anymore and washed an apple for Beibei, "Here, eat this."
"Mom, do I not have to write anymore?" Beibei asked tentatively.
"Who said that? I will be more strict with you from now on so that you can go to college and get out of this mountain village." Tao Xiaoxi said.
Beibei pouted and said, "Grandma said that girls don't have to go to school."
Tao Xiaoxi immediately became unhappy. "Just listen to your mother. We must not only go to school, but also go to university and get a master's degree and a doctorate."
Beibei didn't understand at all, but felt that he might not be able to play mud marbles with Da Mao and Er Mao anymore.
Li Nanshan had sent a letter the day before, saying he would be back for the holiday, but two days later he sent another letter saying someone had asked him to design a house and that he would be delayed for a few days. Tao Xiaoxi took the letter and replied angrily: "If you don't come back, the children won't recognize you!"
In fact, Li Nanshan had been working to earn money while studying in the provincial capital. At first, he worked as a laborer at a construction site, earning less than three yuan a day. He was not afraid of hardship and was willing to work hard, so he was appreciated by the contractor. When he learned that he was studying architectural design, he introduced him to the developer. Gradually, the boss asked him to try to draw some simple drawings. Unexpectedly, he was no worse than those professional designers, so the boss gave him some complex designs. In this way, Li Nanshan had considerable practical experience before graduation. Although the design fee is not high now, it is enough to subsidize his and Nan Qiu's tuition and living expenses.
Li Nanqiu did not just sit around and do nothing. She worked as a tutor. Because she was strict, parents liked to hire her. She also had her own regular clients, and the brother and sister were able to be self-sufficient.
But Li Nanshan couldn't feel at ease. He still had to think about supporting his family. Although Xiaoxi earned more than him now, he couldn't enjoy all these ready-made things with peace of mind. He always felt that he should do something.
So when he came back, he was carrying a lot of bags. Except for a small portion of the things in them that were for his parents, the rest were all bought for his wife and Beibei.
He wanted his wife to taste the clothes, facial oil, silk scarves, and food he bought in the provincial capital.
Tao Xiaoxi laughed at him, holding her belly. "We have these at home too. Why are they worth bringing back from thousands of miles away?"
Li Nanshan scratched his head and said, "You can't come back empty-handed. Next time, take your baby directly to the provincial capital and I'll take you around."
After being away from home for half a year, Li Nanshan had become whiter, thinner, and had become more bookish and youthful. This was something Tao Xiaoxi had not expected.
"Why do I feel unfamiliar after returning home?" Tao Xiaoxi suppressed the joy in her heart and said deliberately.
Li Nanshan rubbed his hands, indeed nervous. He looked at Beibei playing in the yard, walked forward and gently hugged Xiaoxi. Obviously, he was very awkward and unnatural, but the moment he touched his wife's body, his body's instinct was aroused. For a moment, he forgot that his wife was still pregnant, and he held her hands tighter and tighter.
Tao Xiaoxi finally broke free and hit him breathlessly, "You're going to murder your wife as soon as you come back?"
Li Nanshan looked uneasy, "Did it hurt you?"
Tao Xiaoxi burst out laughing, "Why do I feel like we're in love?"
"Why are you still in love? The baby is about to come out." Li Nanshan reached out and stroked his wife's bulging belly.
My wife caught me off guard and gave me a brain-melting remark: "Can't I fall in love after having a child?"
"Okay, if you want to fall in love, let's fall in love and be in love for the rest of our lives." Li Nanshan said lovingly.
I have to say, after being away for half a year and living in a big city, Li Nanshan has become even more elegant and charming. Whenever Tao Xiaoxi looks at him, she feels that there is a healing aura about him.
At this time, Tao Xiaoxi looked the most clumsy. Although her limbs were still slender, she had a big belly and her mental state was not very good. She often woke up at night.
Since Li Nanshan came back, he has become Tao Xiaoxi's hands and feet, and he is almost walking for her.
"Don't spoil me like this. I won't be able to adapt when you go back." Tao Xiaoxi said while eating the grapes that Li Nanshan had washed for her.
