After that, in the two thatched huts, every night, the dim oil lamps were lit until around midnight. Although his father Xiao Guoliang said that he had already read the Four Books and Five Classics well, in order to become famous in one fell swoop, he still worked hard to revise his schoolwork.

Whenever Xiao Guoliang was studying at his desk, Sun always held a fan in one hand, one would fan Xiao Yiran lying on the kang, the other would fan Xiao Guoliang, and from time to time the handkerchief would wipe the sweat on Xiao Guoliang's face. On the only table, a thick tea bowl is always filled with cold boiling water. Sun's gentleness and skillfulness deeply moved Xiao Yiran.

Occasionally, Sun would pick up a book to read, and from the discussion between the two from time to time, Xiao Yiran could hear that his mother Sun's talent was no worse than that of his father Xiao Guoliang. Xiao Guoliang also often said to himself for this reason:

"Xiaoli, if you were a boy, I'm afraid you would already be in high school."

"The husband is here again, where does Xiaoli have the talent of the husband, otherwise Xiaoli will not marry the husband."

Sun always replied with a little coquettishness.

Xiao Yiran is very strange about the names between the two, during the day, the two always call each other husband and good wife, or call each other husband and wife, and call themselves. At night, the Sun family called themselves Xiaoli, and Xiao Guoliang also called her Xiaoli. The Sun family has always called Xiao Guoliang and his husband, and has never called him by his name.

Xu is hot weather during the day, and only Sun is by his side, Xiao Yiran always sleeps, and at night, he is refreshed. Sometimes in order to let the husband and wife whisper, or not disturb Xiao Guoliang's study, Xiao Yiran had to pretend to sleep. It's just that the taste of pretending to sleep is really unbearable, and Xiao Yiran decided to change it quickly. Be sure to hold on during the day and wait until the night to sleep.

The idea is good, but the body does not listen to his own call, no matter how hard Xiao Yiran tries and persists during the day, he always can't resist the strong sleepiness. Especially Sun's soft voice, like the most effective lullaby, unconsciously, Xiao Yiran will take a nap in the morning, ten in the evening, and then sleep again. can sleep for more than an hour every night, which makes Xiao Yiran really have no choice.

"Xiaoli, I have asked the village chief for leave, and the village chief has also promised me the rest of the year's bundle repair. Just wait for the departure to send it over. ”

"That's good, the husband can concentrate on the book."

"Xiaoli, I want you and Yiran to accompany me into the city."

"Husband, I still don't want it, we two go, we have to spend more. A year's bundle of repairs is not much money. ”

"Go, Yiran is still young, I can't rest assured that you and your mother are at home."

Sun lowered his head and thought about it, then agreed to Xiao Guoliang.

"In that case, I'll take Yiran with my husband."

In the next few days, Sun bought some rice and noodles and prepared to make more dry food to take with him, so that he could save some money when he entered the city. Sometimes, when Sun is free, he always likes to ask Xiao Yiran, who has only been more than three months and less than four months:

"Yiran, did you say that Daddy could pass the exam this time?"

Xiao Yiran knew that although the Sun family believed in Xiao Guoliang's talent, because Xiao Guoliang failed to pass the township examination many times, he left a shadow in his heart and became a little unconfident. Whenever Sun asked like this, Xiao Yiran would always smile at Sun in order to appease the uneasiness in Sun's heart. And Xiao Yiran's laughter, brought to Sun's, naturally the daughter is saying:

"Mother, Daddy will definitely be able to pass the exam."

"My daughter is so well-behaved, my daughter knows that her father can pass the exam, and her father will definitely be able to pass this time."

At night, after Xiao Yiran fell asleep, Xiao Guoliang was tired of studying, and when he stopped to drink water, Sun said to Xiao Guoliang:

"I asked Yiran today, and Yiran said that my father would definitely be able to pass the exam."

"Xiaoli, Yiran is only a few months old, and he can answer you?"

"Although Yiran can't speak, when I asked her, Yiran smiled at me."

"Hehe, Xiaoli is becoming more and more like a child."

"Don't you like it?"

"Yes, of course. When Xiaoli was young, her husband liked it, and now that she has grown up, her husband still likes it, and when Xiaoli is old in the future, her husband will like it more. ”

Xiao Yiran didn't hear these more sensual words between the husband and wife this time, this time Xiao Yiran really fell asleep, and had a strange dream.

Xiao Yiran dreamed that he had returned to Xiao Country and returned to the palace in Wangshan City. Xiao Yiran looked at the smiles on the faces of Xiao Ming's brothers and sisters, and his heart was extremely sweet. It's as if what happened in Yongsan never happened. However, when Xiao Yiran saw that there was another self in the palace, he couldn't help but be stunned. Xiao Yiran didn't know that he was in a dream, and when he saw Xiao Ming's five brothers and sisters, surrounded by another Xiao Yiran, they were affectionate, and their hearts were both frightened and sour. I wanted to open my mouth to shout Xiao Ming and Xiao Yue, but I couldn't make a sound when I opened my mouth, I wanted to step forward and hold the children, but the outstretched hand was always empty, and it seemed that the children's bodies had become transparent.

The helpless Xiao Yiran couldn't help crying.

"Yiran, wake up."

"Daughter, what's wrong with my good daughter? Are you hungry? ”

Xiao Yiran was woken up from a dream by his mother Sun and father Xiao Guoliang. When he opened his eyes, in the dim light, he saw two faces full of anxiety and love, Xiao Yiran raised his hand and rubbed his eyes vigorously, but what he could reach was wet tears. Xiao Yiran, who was still immersed in the dream just now, looked at Xiao Guoliang and his wife, and in their eyes, they became stunned again. The husband and wife couldn't help but get anxious.

Sun gently took Xiao Yiran into his arms, untied his clothes, and was about to breastfeed Xiao Yiran. In Sun's opinion, Xiao Yiran must have woken up from hunger to cry like this.

Xiao Yiran, who didn't want the two of them to be anxious, had to hold Sun's nipple and suck it without a mouthful. I was still thinking about the dream I had just had.

"How can you have such a dream? Why is there another Xiao Yiran here? Is it ......?"

Xiao Yiran suddenly remembered something, and he couldn't help but stop sucking milk.

"Yiran eats two more bites, and sleeps well when you are full."

Xiao Yiran, who was gently awakened by Sun, sucked milk again. It's just that in my heart, I was thinking about a seemingly absurd thought that popped up in my mind just now.

"Could it be that after my soul left my body, it turned out that the soul of the snake girl, Xiao Ran, occupied that body again? If only that were the case, at least the children would not suffer the pain of losing their mother's love prematurely. Xiao Guo will not become chaotic because of the sudden loss of the emperor. ”

While sucking milk, Xiao Yiran secretly guessed in his heart.

"I hope so, my poor boys."
