Chapter 236: Bitter Melon and Coptis chinensis
The first day of the new year was very silent.
Liu Yao was dragged by Uncle Liu and Second Master Liu to receive people who came to pay New Year's greetings in the outer courtyard, Du Xiaoxi tossed and turned last night and went back to the yard without sleeping well, and Xiaoxing directly pulled Du Xiaoxi's belt and ran back.
Du Xiaoxi hugged his son on the bed and asked softly, "Does Little Star want to continue sleeping?" ”
"Yes!" The little star automatically lay on the side of the inside, looked at Du Xiaoxi with his eyes open, and shouted in his mouth, "Mother, sleep!" ”
Today, before dawn, the sound of thunderbolts and firecrackers came, and the little star was so lured that he couldn't sleep and woke up the two of them, and now that the strength has passed, the sleepy worm also ran out.
Du Xiaoxi pulled up the brocade quilt at the foot of the bed and covered the two of them, patted Xiaoxing on his back and coaxed him to sleep. Xiaoxing rubbed into Du Xiaoxi's arms and soon fell asleep.
Du Xiaoxi didn't worry too much about yesterday's incident, this kind of thing has to happen every once in a while, and every time as long as Liu Yao verbally threatens two sentences, the matter will be solved quickly.
Whether to accept concubines or not, whether to find the third and fourth is still in Liu Yao, if a man thinks about it, he will not be happy if he stays. As long as Du Xiaoxi cages people, her heart naturally doesn't need to worry about her and the child. What's more, the two have been together for 20 years, and Du Xiaoxi is also clear about his status in Liu Yao's heart. All she had to do was trust him and believe in him.
Du Xiaoxi sighed, touched his stomach and closed his eyes.
If so, she should have it again.
After staying for a few days, Liu Yao took Du Xiaoxi back to Hongxing County.
"I look pregnant!" Du Xiaoxi looked at Liu Yao with sleepy eyes, and she seemed to have a sleep in her stomach.
Since the beginning of the lunar month, Du Xiaoxi has not slept enough every day, and he can fall asleep immediately when he sits in the seat silently, and he sleeps in seconds after eating.
Liu Yao was taking off his son's cotton pants, the man's movements were not gentle at all, Liu Yao was holding the two legs of the cotton pants, and Xiaoxing was lying on the bed with two legs lifted high, a very shameful posture.
Liu Yao froze when he heard Du Xiaoxi's words, and the little star was so up-and-down.
Du Xiaoxi pushed Liu Yao's leg and urged: "Hurry up, be careful that your son is going to cry." ”
Liu Yao sighed and hurriedly cleaned up for his son.
The three of them lay in the quilt in rows, Xiaoxing's head was tilted horizontally in Du Xiaoxi's arms, and her feet were on her father's belly, giggling from time to time and stepping on her father's stomach.
Liu Yao came back to his senses violently, directly grabbed Xiaoxing's leg and dragged his son into his arms, looked at Du Xiaoxi very nervously and asked in hindsight: "How many months?" When was it discovered? Is there something uncomfortable? Would you like to ask a doctor to come and have a look? ”
Du Xiaoxi squinted his eyes and muttered, "I don't know."
Liu Yao became more and more anxious: "What don't you know?" ”
"I don't know how long!"
"Don't sleep!"
Liu Yao couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, and he didn't dare to let go after being kicked a few times by the dishonest little star under the quilt, for fear that he would kick Du Xiaoxi in the stomach. Looking at his son, who twisted and wanted to lose a child, Liu Yao nodded silently, his son is old and can be separated to sleep.
Early the next morning, Liu Yao asked people to call the doctor.
"The young lady is already two months pregnant." The old doctor Chrysanthemum has a smile on his face, this is his favorite 'disease'!
"Good! Good! Reward! Reward! Second Master Liu hugged his eldest grandson and looked forward to his younger grandson, very happy.
Liu Yao and Du Xiaoxi shook hands and were also happy.
The old lady and Uncle Liu got the news and directly sent a few carts of things, and Master Xile also gave Du Xiaoxi a peace charm that was similar to the ghost painting talisman drawn by himself.
With a ball in his stomach, Du Xiaoxi began to live at home.
In the blink of an eye, the Dragon Boat Festival came, and Du Xiaoxi's belly was already bulging high for six months.
After the weather became warmer, the old lady moved back from Kyoto, and Uncle Liu and Uncle Liu rushed back from Kyoto today to celebrate the festival together as a family.
"The boy in the girl's belly is really considerate of his mother, except for sleeping more than usual, there is no discomfort at all! It is worthy of being a good man of our family, and he knows how to be considerate of people at such a young age! The old lady looked at Du Xiaoxi's belly and boasted to everyone about her sensible little grandson.
The eldest aunt looked at Du Xiaoxi's stomach lovingly and nodded in agreement.
A few people chattered about the future baby, and Du Xiaoxi saw that they were talking about it again, so he went back to the house to sleep with his eyelids down.
A group of masters in the flower hall imagined the future of the little grandson, saying that they were addicted to it, and went to the old lady's yard.
Du Xiaoxi's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and he can't be busy with the little star, Liu Yao wants to go to the yamen, and the little star has been taken by the second master and his wife and the old lady since a few days ago. Of course, usually Liu Erye can't compete with his mother.
Little Star was running around the house with a small red hydrangea, the old lady was sitting on the top and looking at her grandson, and Uncle Liu and Second Master Liu were sitting on the left and right.
"Mother, can the doctor determine whether the child in the niece's daughter-in-law's womb is male or female?" The eldest aunt He looked at the old lady expectantly.
The old doctor with superb medical skills can determine the men and women according to the pulse, Du Xiaoxi's belly is now six months, and the two of them have to look forward to it.
Speaking of this old lady, she was proud, "Of course, the granddaughter-in-law of the master is accurate, and I have found five doctors to see it, and they all say that the pulse is strong and powerful* is a big fat boy!" ”
The eldest aunt was very surprised, and after glancing at Uncle Liu, she suddenly raised her head and said, "Mother, I have a reluctant request with my father-in-law, and you agree!" So saying, the two of them fell to their knees.
The old lady hurriedly stood up to help her son, "What's the matter?" Get up! What can't be said well! ”
Second Master Liu also ran forward in three or two steps to pull up his brother.
Uncle Liu looked at his mother and brother, took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Mother, second brother, we want to succeed Xiaotu's son as a grandson!" ”
The old lady and Second Master Liu obviously didn't expect this to be the problem.
The uncle of the Liu family is now over the age of six, and he probably understood that he did not give birth to a son a few years ago, and the well-born women in the house were sent out one after another.
In recent years, the family has forced him to set up an heir, Uncle Liu has never agreed, when the world thought that he had given up his children and grandchildren, he didn't expect to wait here.
When the old lady heard Da'er say this, she nodded directly and said, "What are you talking about?" Just say it, and we're not unagreeing! ”
Hearing the old lady say this, the two breathed a sigh of relief. Uncle Liu knelt on the ground and said: "Mother knows the regrets of me and the He family over the years, and my father has never forgotten it before he died, if it can come true now, my son will thank my mother for my fulfillment and my younger brother for my fulfillment!" ”
It is common sense that there is no child in the family to pass on the son of a stepbrother, but Liu Erye also has only one son, and Liu Yao is unwilling to have two rooms, so it is reasonable to have a grandchild from Liu Yao's son. The old lady and Second Master Liu knew that Uncle Liu's heart was sick, so they naturally would not object to passing on a little grandson.
The family reached an agreement and discussed the matter after the birth of the baby with a smile on their faces.
Xiaoxing didn't understand much, but she also knew that Grandma Tai was going to rush out to her mother about giving her little brother away.
Du Xiaoxi was circling in the yard with his stomach in a circle, for fear that his belly would be too big to give birth to when the time came.
"What's wrong? Run in such a hurry! Du Xiaoxi leaned over to wipe Xiaoxing's sweat and scolded softly.
Xiaoxing shook off her mother's hand and said anxiously: "Mother, grandma said that she wanted to send her little brother to the eldest uncle's house!" ”
After Xiaoxing finished speaking, he looked at Du Xiaoxi with a face of praise on his face, waiting for his mother to praise him.
"Mother? What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable? ”
Liu Yao saw Du Xiaoxi frowning and wanted to ask this and that, after a long time, Xiaoxing unconsciously learned his father's lines.
Du Xiaoxiqiang shook his head with a smile, took Xiaoxing's hand and walked towards the house, and said as he walked: "Mother is fine, are you hungry, the kitchen has made a small wonton, do you want to eat it?" ”
Du Xiaoxi eats a lot of meals a day, and Xiaoxing often comes to his mother's side to eat in the middle of the night, listening to Du Xiaoxi say that there are little wontons and nodding hurriedly, and the non-stop words in his mouth are really good!
Du Xiaoxi and his son shared a big bowl of bone, and watched Xiaoxing sit on the clinical couch and build blocks, frowning tightly.
When Liu Yao came back to eat at noon, he looked at Du Xiaoxi's expression, and turned around anxiously, "What's wrong?" ”
Du Xiaoxi didn't know what to say, so he said that he had a bad appetite today and vomited a few times.
After eating, Liu Yao was called by Liu Erye. Du Xiaoxi looked at Liu Yao's distant back and shook the pillow a few times hatefully.
Wanted to take my son away! Don't! Don't! I would never agree with it!
Liu Yao came back soon, and there was no abnormality. Seeing Du Xiaoxi looking at it, he was silent and still spoke.
"Uncle wants to succeed our second son as a grandson, and grandma and dad have agreed."
Du Xiaoxi got the clear words, and felt irritable in his heart, looked straight at Liu Yao and asked, "What about you?" Did you promise? ”
Liu Yao sat on the edge of the couch and touched Du Xiaoxi's head and said, "Don't think about it, step-grandsons are different from sons." The children also call us Daddy, that is, they call Uncle and Auntie, Grandparents, Daddy, Auntie, and Uncle, and the others are the same as Little Star. ”
Du Xiaoxi knew what Liu Yao meant when he heard him say this, and still asked stubbornly: "So what is your attitude?" Did you promise a stepchild? ”
Saying that, Du Xiaoxi dodged Liu Yao's paw of touching her hair, and touching her head to kill it didn't work for me who was angry!
Liu Yao withdrew his hand, sat next to Du Xiaoxi and said: "It's common to have no children, the uncle doesn't have a son, it stands to reason that I should pass on the past, the uncle pities my father and doesn't ask for a son." Now my uncle has offered to take over our children, and neither my father nor I can refuse. Hey, sister, don't think about it, the child will still be raised by our side in the future. ”
Next year, his term of office will come, and he has already discussed with his uncle to seek a position in Beijing as much as possible, and it will be convenient to take care of the two children at that time.
Du Xiaoxi heard Liu Yao say that he was willing to pass the child out, so he cried directly holding his stomach.
"You haven't come out yet, your father doesn't want you anymore! Life is so hard! I shouldn't have been pregnant with you. This is born, either Coptis chinensis or bitter gourd! ”
Coptis chinensis, bitter gourd? Liu Yao really choked.
No matter how bad his son is, he won't be like this!
The little star who was stacking the wood ran over and pulled Du Xiaoxi's arm and said expectantly: "Mother, I want to eat melons!" ”
The family has reached an agreement on the matter of adoption, but Du Xiaoxi, the mother, has a bad face.
Du Xiaoxi sulked for two days, except for Liu Yao to persuade her, everyone else felt that Du Xiaoxi didn't know anything. If it weren't for her big belly, maybe the whole family would have come together to criticize her.
Du Xiaoxi was angry with Liu Yao, and he ignored him for several days. However, this short-term cold war was quickly broken.
"Mother, my nose is not breathable, so uncomfortable." One afternoon, Xiaoxing came back from playing in the yard, rubbing his nose and telling about his infinite grievances.

Liu Yao came back soon, and there was no abnormality. Seeing Du Xiaoxi looking at it, he was silent and still spoke.
