Warrenga also gave her blessing after learning that Anna was pregnant, she always looked at Anna with a little love and awe, but now, her eyes are more focused on envy.

"If this were a girl, she would be very beautiful, just like you, Anna. If he were a boy, he would be very smart, look at your Seryosha, how cute he is! Warrenga sighed, and even some tears glistened.

Anna now knew that Valenta was taking care of Sleep, a lady with a very good background, with a strange temper, she regarded Valenta as a maid, but she let her learn the knowledge and talents that only young ladies could learn, and those ladies who had the intention of befriending her were scared away by her coldness, so they always said behind her back that she was an old lady with a strange temper.

Anna had ideas about the lady that Warrenga was going to take care of, and she hadn't forgotten the promise she had given to Yunina, nor did she forget what she wanted to do. After accepting the fact that she was pregnant, she changed her mind.

The thought was only spinning and shifting in her own mind, and even Karenin did not know it.

Anna did not go through Warrenga to befriend the old lady, she decided to wait, or rather, really try to trust Karenin, her husband.

Who can say that such a woman is not evil, and who can say that such a woman is not brave.

"Can I sing a song for you?" Warrenga said that she actually wanted to touch Anna's stomach more in her heart, but she took care of etiquette.

She was touched and delighted by all the children or new babies that were about to be born.

"That's what I should say, please sing a song for us." Anna said, Warrenga smiled and nodded.

The not-so-young girl let go of her voice and sang, and in the garden she looked more beautiful than usual.

The song is ethereal but moving, the sun is shining, Anna squints her eyes slightly, looking up at the somewhat blue sky in the spring of the old times, she feels for the first time - it is good to be alive, because it is meaningful, because of happiness.

Seryosha brought them fruits, fresh and plump cherries, on which the skin was smeared with water.

"I asked Mr. Slyuddin, and he said it would be good for you and the baby." Seryosha placed the cherries among them, and the children, who had been playing next to them, gathered around, and Seryosha said that everyone could eat together.

The children cheered, eating juice along the tip of their tongues and spreading a little to the corners of their mouths, Anna took Seryosha into her arms, smiled and whispered thanks, Seryosha kissed her shyly, and said softly: "You never need to thank me, Mom, I love you, now, I still love the baby in your belly, I will be a good brother." ”

"I love you too." Anna whispered, the promise as deeply imprinted in the boy's heart as the afternoon sun.

Two weeks later, Karenin said they were going back to Petersburg.

When Karenin said this, Seryosha was digging his pudding, and he cared more than anyone about the health of his mother and little baby.

"Can Mom go back?" Seryosha asked worriedly. He had learned from some of his ladies that pregnancy was a dangerous thing.

"Don't worry too much, Seryosha." Anna said.

Seryosha got down from the stool, he walked up to Anna's side, first gently touched Anna's belly with his little hand, and then raised his face and said, "Now that she is still very young, will the train turn her upside down?" Like the grapefruit in Madame Lestrade's fruit basket? ”

Anna was amused.

"If she's turned upside down, you can pick her up again. Just like you helped that lady before. Anna said half-truthfully.

Seryosha gave a frightened look, and then he knew that he had been deceived, so he pouted.

"I'm so worried."

"There's no need to worry about it, Seryosha, is that why you plan not to go back until your mother gives birth?"

"There's nothing wrong with that." Seryosha muttered quietly.

Karenin furrowed his eyebrows, and before he could speak, Anna patted the high-ranking gentleman's arm and said, "He's just worried about me too much." ”

Anna touched Seryosha's hair, and then touched the side of his ear, and while they were getting tired, Karenin said: "I am also worried about this situation. ”

Mother and son looked at the man.

Karenin coughed slightly, then raised his eyebrows and said: "I have already asked Slyuddin, you can take the train in your current situation." ”

"Oh." Anna smiled.

The day they returned to St. Petersburg was the first rain of early summer, and the air was a little damp and slightly sticky.

A little worse than Karenin expected, Anna had a little low-grade fever.

Slyuddin did not recommend the use of drugs, so Anna had to carry it herself.

It was 10 a.m. when they went home, and according to the original itinerary, Karenin had to go back to the government first.

Anna was not a hypocritical person, and although Karenin didn't say anything, there must have been something important about him hurrying back, so she indicated to the other party that she could be alone for a while.

For the first time, Karenin seemed a little undecided.

"I'll take care of Mom, Father." Seryosha said earnestly that he seemed to have grown a little taller during this time.

"Oh, we almost forgot about him." Anna said with a smile.

Seeing this, Karenin decided to go to the ministry first according to the original plan.

"If there's anything uncomfortable, let Kabidonic go to Sluddin." Karenin told her, and Anna answered them all.

Karenin left only after everything had been explained, twenty minutes later than he had planned, so that the late time had to be rushed from the road.

Karenin sat in the carriage and began to think about how to squeeze some more time out of the cracks in the matter, and he didn't think about a question that he should have thought about first, but it didn't matter.

Karenin was a wise man and a man of manners, and his wife was naturally happy when she was pregnant with her second child, and this affection came naturally and did not come out of nowhere, but for Anna herself it meant much more.

The nasal congestion was a bit severe, and she leaned back on the soft pillow. Seryosha wore a thin seahorse velvet sailor's coat of dark color, and in this rain, both his curly hair and his face were like some kind of moist and lovely moss, with a little tenderness and fluffiness.

He's busy.

He put refreshments on the bedside table next to him, tested whether Anna's pillow was soft enough, and brought hot water and a storybook, like a squirrel busy to store food for the winter.

"What do you think? Mom. Seryosha sniffed, sweating profusely.

"I'm afraid you're going to get sick." Anna picked up a handkerchief and wiped the little one's forehead.

Seryosha stretched out her still chubby little hand and touched Anna's forehead for her body temperature, and then touched her own comparison.

"It's a little bit." He said worriedly, his blue eyes a little wet as if they had been heavily colored.

Anna didn't want to get too close to the other person when she spoke, so she just gently took Seryosha's little hand.

"Tell me a story and I'll be fine."

"Yes." Seryosha replied softly. Today, he won the benefit of postponing his French course by an hour.

Seryosha opened the storybook, and he chose a story with a lot of little rabbits. He liked the little rabbits, and the story was about a mother rabbit and the fawn she picked up, and he thought that the mother rabbit, who was not tall but very brave, was like his mother.

"Even though they don't look the same, like different foods, and speak differently, moms are moms and kids are kids."

Anna did not fall asleep, she came to her senses only after Seryosha made that opinion, it turned out that she really listened to this simple story.

"It has a good mom, and so do I." Seryosha finally whispered.

Anna looked at Seryosha quietly, the boy was lowering his eyes, his fingers gently caressing the pages, and it seemed that he was still immersed in the story, sensitive and cute.

Suddenly, some of the embarrassments and doubts that occasionally surfaced in my heart were completely relieved at this moment.

Anna smiled and stretched out her hand, her slender fingertips poked the fleshy vortex on the back of Seryosha's hand, and then used her adult big hand to hold Seryosha's small hand in the palm of her hand, and in the other party's confused look, put her hand to her heart.

"It's a small house, exquisite, private and vulnerable. It's really small, so mom will only put very important people in it. In the past, it was only Mom herself, and now, there are you. ”

Seryosha's eyes narrowed slightly, and it took a long time for a soft smile to appear.

"And her, we're all in there."

"Mom, if you can't live in your house, you can put it in my house, my house is very big, you can live in many, many people, I put you in the innermost room, so that we are still a family, and then, when we go out, there are many, many good people. In this way, we will be happy, both inside and outside. ”

Anna looked at Seryosha's innocent smile and didn't say anything sensible, but accompanied him to continue to make up these happy and stupid stupid words.

The low-grade fever continued, and the rain did not stop, and Seryosha went to French class, and Anna took out a bound notepad from the drawer, and sat down in her chair, and it took about twenty minutes for her to write the first sentence, and afterwards she solemnly locked the one-page notepad in the small box.

She lay on the bed, with the sound of raindrops, caressing the little life in her abdomen that had not changed in any way, and whispered a few times.

She thought: if her life had started with misfortune, now that everything had changed, a lucky life was being conceived in her.

It wasn't magic that changed her, just her husband and son. 166 Reading Network
