Chapter 53 A Harmonious Atmosphere
With her current top-selling eloquence, Wan Qiqi made Dr. Sun completely forget what he wanted to ask Wang Shi, and he even lost track of whether he had decocted the medicine, so he turned around and went back to the medicine hut.
Chen Lizheng quietly looked at Wan Qiqi.
He discovered that this person was meticulous and not easily controlled, making him a dangerous figure for both the Chen family and Lianhua Village.
But he also saw sincerity in Wan Qiqi.
Genuine feelings cannot be faked, and Wan Qiqi's contributions to Lotus Village these past few days cannot be faked either.
After chatting and laughing with her family, Wan Qiqi saw Chen Lizheng still standing there and asked, "Chen Lizheng, would you like to come in and sit down?"
Looking at her innocent smile, Chen Lizheng vaguely felt that he was overthinking things. He glanced at the sky and said, "No, I have to go back!"
The longer the plague lasted, the longer he hadn't eaten with his family!
Now that the plague has ended, he wants to go back and reunite with his family.
"Alright, then I won't see the village head off!" Wan Qiqi didn't stand on ceremony and carried An'an inside.
She's not one to follow rules, whether in modern times or here; she dislikes those rules and prefers to change them at will.
Chen Lizheng looked at this impolite girl and couldn't help but laugh in anger!
He suddenly wanted a daughter, someone as carefree as Wan Qiqi, how wonderful!
It's a pity he's old now, and can only hope that his son can marry a smart and clever daughter-in-law, just like Wan Qiqi now.
Unfortunately, Wan Qiqi didn't know what Chen Lizheng was thinking, otherwise she would have thought he was daydreaming, since there weren't that many time travelers.
Wan Qiqi entered the main room and looked at everything familiar in front of her. The more she looked at it, the more pleasing it seemed to be, giving her a sense of comfort like returning home.
She put An'an down and then walked around the house inside and out.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" Chen Yongliang and Chen Yongxing asked in unison.
The two exchanged a glance, then continued to look at Wan Qiqi.
Li Chongniang glanced at it and suddenly said, "Instead of spending your time watching her, you might as well turn over the soil so you can sow seeds tomorrow. Otherwise, we'll be eating dirt this winter."
Chen Yongxing nudged Chen Yongliang, "Third brother, you go ahead, I'll stay here with my wife for a while."
Chen Yongliang said unhappily, "Second brother, second sister-in-law wants you to go. I have to go to see my doctor Sun tomorrow, so I should go to bed early tonight."
"Look at how smug you are. If I hadn't taken you as my disciple, what would you be so proud of?" Chen Yongxing pouted, looking dissatisfied.
He was a little frustrated. Why didn't his sister-in-law recommend him?
Compared to Chen Yongliang, he knew a few words and even considered himself smarter than his third brother. Why did his sister-in-law consider Chen Yongliang first and not give him a chance?
“Even if I’m not your apprentice, I can still learn something.” Chen Yongliang said with a hint of pride.
"You two have time to chat here? Have you finished tilling the land?" Li Chongniang put down her embroidery and rolled her eyes at the two men. "You've left your mother alone in the kitchen again. You two are really something!"
Chen Yongxing continued, "Aren't my elder brother and sister-in-law here?"
"Do you really think my sister-in-law is that diligent?" As Li Chongniang finished speaking, Wan Qiqi walked in from outside, carrying a bunch of things in her arms.
"We can talk about whatever we need to do tomorrow. Everyone should rest tonight!" Wan Qiqi put down the things she was carrying.
Chen Yongliang and Chen Yongxing went over to take a look and were surprised.
"Sister-in-law, where did you get this brown rice from?"
"And there's also coarse flour and wheat!"
The three of them looked at Wan Qiqi, and even An'an looked at her.
Wan Qiqi replied, "I hid it before."
"Sister-in-law, how many good things have you been hiding?" Chen Yongliang looked at Wan Qiqi as if she could conjure up something else.
"That's all. This is the last bit. After we finish this, we might really be eating dirt." Wan Qiqi was no longer lying.
These things were left behind by her before she went to the epidemic area. She thought that if too much time passed and there was no food at home, Pingping would take them out.
Luckily, I bought these things at the mall, otherwise I would have been starving when I got back!
“Alright!” Chen Yongliang flipped through the pages and continued, “Once I earn some money, I’ll buy some more, and this winter will be easier!”
Wan Qiqi glanced at him but didn't say anything.
These? For winter?
Are you kidding me? This is barely enough for one family to eat for a month!
A family of eight, eight mouths to feed, is not easy to raise, and Li Chongniang is pregnant with another one.
Thinking of this, Wan Qiqi suddenly looked at Li Chongniang. She found that Li Chongniang didn't mention that she was hiding anything this time. She remained quiet, which made Wan Qiqi feel a little uncomfortable.
Noticing the gaze, Li Chongniang looked up and asked, "Sister-in-law, is something the matter?"
"No." Wan Qiqi looked at Li Chongniang's swollen belly and suddenly asked, "Can he move?"
Li Chongniang was stumped by her question and nodded.
Wan Qiqi tentatively asked, "May I try it?"
She had never been pregnant and didn't know what pregnancy was like, but she always heard others say that the baby was already formed in the womb at six or seven months, and that you could hear the heartbeat and sometimes feel the baby move.
Li Chongniang frowned slightly, but seemed to agree to Wan Qiqi's request.
Wan Qiqi squatted down, put her ear to Li Chongniang's stomach, and listened for a long time before she could vaguely hear sounds from inside.
She smiled suddenly, gently stroked him, and whispered, "You have to be good and not bother your mother, okay?"
Wan Qiqi's words and actions stunned everyone present. No one had ever seen Wan Qiqi so gentle. The scene before them was like a dream, making it seem unreal.
Li Chongniang was also stunned.
She could feel the hand stroking her belly was very gentle, as if it were caressing some rare treasure.
