Chapter 19: Her Brother
"yes, I see. I'll discuss everything with you before making a decision. Besides, I'm so old, who can fool me, I'm so smart. Xu Liuli was afraid that her parents would show her stuff if she asked again, so she quickly changed the topic and boasted.
"Dad, what's the lunch. Xu Liuli felt a little hungry in her stomach, approached the refrigerator, and found no food to eat, so she couldn't help asking.
"What do you want to eat, what do you want to eat, anyway, Daddy's craftsmanship will not disappoint you. When Father Xu heard his daughter talk about cooking, he immediately forgot about the topic he had just discussed, and talked about what he was good at with great interest.
"I want to eat sauerkraut fish, belly wrapped chicken, shredded pork with fish flavor, mapo tofu, kelp egg drop soup, and steamed noodles. Chef, can you do this? Xu Liuli muttered about the food she wanted to eat, and her lips spit out the names of the dishes one by one, and finally joked humorously.
"Yes, you don't want to see who Dad is! Genius chef, you can do whatever you want to eat, but the fish can't be made for the time being. Father Xu boasted about his cooking skills, but suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, thought of something, and then refused.
"Why can't you make fish, how delicious the fish is!" Xu Liuli asked puzzled.
"Guess what, guess why you don't make fish. Father Xu smiled mysteriously, the corners of his mouth curled.
"Can't guess, oops, tell me. Xu Liuli pointed to her little head with her little finger, but she couldn't think of why, so she asked cutely.
"Well, seeing that you are so desperate to know, I will tell you the great news that your mother is pregnant. Seeing his daughter so cute, Father Xu didn't tease her anymore, pretending to be very indifferent and looking down on everything.
"What, Dad, what did you just say, I just thought the wind was a little strong and didn't hear clearly. Xu Liuli felt that her ears were suddenly weak, and she didn't hear what she said clearly.
"I said, your mother is pregnant, happy or not, you are going to have a little brother or little sister. Father Xu knew that his daughter was too happy, so he didn't care, and leaned close to his daughter's ear and roared loudly.
"Ah, really, I'm going to have a younger brother, Dad, let me listen, see if there is any fetal movement. Xu Liuli pushed Xu's father with one hand, excitedly approached Xu's mother who was sitting on the sofa, squatted on the carpet and carefully put her ears close to her mother's stomach.
"I'm not sure yet? How do you know it's a brother, not a sister. Father Xu looked at his daughter and firmly believed that it was his younger brother, and couldn't help but be curious.
Xu Liuli's ears were close to her mother's stomach, but when she heard her father's words, she rolled her eyes indecently and said proudly: "I have a hunch that this must be a boy and my younger brother." With that, he put his ears closer to his mother's slightly bulging belly.
"Liuli, what are you doing?" Mother Xu opened her eyes wide to see her daughter's smooth movements, and asked in confusion.
"Shhhhhh Xu Liuli stopped Xu's mother from getting up, and then stretched out her finger to her cherry blossom-like lips to signal quiet.
"You kid, why are you so stupid. It's only been a little over a month, and it hasn't taken shape yet?" Xu's mother couldn't help but laugh at her daughter.
"Ah, I'll have to wait a few more months before I can hear the sound of the fetus! I thought it would be okay now?" Although Xu Liuli lived so long in her previous life, she didn't want to love men and women, and she also liked her idol Ye Che very much. So I haven't had a boyfriend, let alone get married and have children, and I don't know much about it.
Suddenly, I heard that my expected brother was coming as if in my memory, and I couldn't find the direction for a while.
When I think that I can personally participate in the growth of my younger brother, and I can see my relatives whose blood is thicker than water from birth to learning to walk, go to school, and grow up, just thinking about it makes me feel happy bubbling.
"Dad, let's make chicken soup today! Didn't you say that pregnant women drink chicken soup to replenish qi and invigorate blood? And Mom, it was so cold last night, you went out and stood with me outside for a while, how do you feel now? Xu Liuli suddenly remembered why his father said that he would not cook fish today, and his mother must have been unable to stand the smell of fish when she smelled it, so she didn't think about the delicacies that made her mouth water.
"It's okay, just stay outside for a while, how can you be so squeamish. Mother Xu was speechless to her daughter, what happened yesterday, how can there be such a long sequelae now.
In fact, in Xu Liuli's heart, things are not as simple as they think.
Although some things deviated from her previous life after she was reborn, the arrival of her brother clearly showed that this was not a dream, but a real world.
Xu Liuli deeply remembers a sentence from Zhuangzi: Zhuang Zhoumeng in the past was a butterfly, and a lifelike butterfly was also. I don't know Zhou, but I feel it, and I feel it, so I don't know Zhou. I don't know that Zhou's dream is a butterfly, a butterfly's dream is Zhou's dream, and Zhou and a butterfly must be separated, which is called materialization.
If there are the same things, there will be different things. All things are mutually reinforcing, interdependent on each other, and balanced against each other.
The river of time runs in the same stage and in different spaces, so the change of some things is an inevitable trend.
Since Xu Liuli knew that her mother was pregnant, she almost treated her mother as a baby, and she couldn't wait to hide it and show no one, and she had to take it up and send it over by herself to taste whether the water temperature was suitable.
Father Xu looked at his daughter's posture with a smile, and silently took a few steps back, thinking, "Child, mother, you have worked hard, if you insist on it, it will be good if Ah Li goes to school tomorrow." Before the loss, I was worried that Ah Li would not agree to have a younger brother, would she be jealous, but I didn't want to accept it so calmly, and I made such an unbearable behavior. ’
Father Xu silently retreated to the kitchen, thinking that he might as well cook! Don't disturb their mother and daughter love each other, if the smile on the corner of your mouth is not so deep, it really looks like that.
Xu's mother sighed that she didn't have to go to work this weekend, and her children also went home on vacation, but why did she feel so tired.
Thinking of sitting on the sofa all day today, almost not moving, I can't help but feel that in the future, when the child is born, the daughter will definitely become the younger brother.
Xu Liuli was still like a fire in her heart after a busy day, and she felt that the whole person was in a state of excitement, so she adjusted her state a little and prepared to fall asleep.
Lying on the bed and reminiscing about today's life, his eyes lit up, he got out of bed and walked to the desk, opened his locked notebook, and seriously wrote down the various methods of teaching his younger brother into it. I looked at my tirade with satisfaction about all aspects of taking care of my younger brother, and felt that it was still a little insufficient.
I took a look, thinking that there was still a long time, and I would write whatever I thought of in the future, and finally took a look, and hugged my little bear with satisfaction, and fell asleep sweetly.
