Chapter 23: The Inextricable Situation (6)

She grabbed his hand and said in a trembling voice, "It's ...... moved."

"What...... What moved? He looked her up and down, a little overwhelmed.

"Kid." She said.

He breathed a sigh of relief and helped her sit down.

She was very excited, her face showed a very bright face, and she whispered, "This kid is so anxious...... It's not timely, I'm counting that there are still a few days left, and I don't want to ......."

As she spoke, she suddenly grabbed his hand and put it on her belly.

Tao Xiang was stiff, and he didn't expect her to do this. Through her clothes, his large hand was over her stomach. But for a while, there was no movement. He could only feel her body tremble gently as she breathed...... He patted her on the stomach and said, "You have to be nice." ”

Jingyi seemed to come back to her senses and realized what had just happened.

She looked at Tao Xiang.

Tao Xiang withdrew his hand and said casually, "It's not early, you should go and rest." ”

"Oh, good." Jingyi wanted to stand up. She was not as nimble as she used to be, and tried to get up quickly, but awkwardly fell back into the couch.

Tao Xiang reached out to help her up, and watched her walk slowly upstairs.

He followed her upstairs.

I was a little worried that she would fall without paying attention.

Sending her back to his room, he sat for a long time in the living room outside, and did not feel sleepy at all...... The white lion followed him, blinking at him.

Just now when he was sitting downstairs, as soon as the white lion moved, he knew that there was movement upstairs.

Jing Yi's body was heavier, and her movements seemed to be a little bigger.

She occasionally suffers from insomnia and gets up for a walk.

He thought she had found himself and was going to turn around and leave. That's what she used to do, and she didn't want to stand for a while tonight without leaving...... He simply turned on the light.

He had lost sleep for the first time a few months ago, and it was a moonlit night like this. He sat there thinking about a lot of things.

Then he heard her footsteps coming downstairs. He didn't move, thinking he would see her soon, but the footsteps stopped abruptly...... He can still remember that it was his birthday. There are a lot of socials many days in advance. When it comes to the right day, there are many arrangements at home. From the morning he had to kowtow solemnly. From the old lady down to his parents, he kowtowed, fortunately, he still had to go to the yamen, otherwise the family would pay homage to him again, which would be very cumbersome. In the evening, he wanted to come back and have a meal with his family, and he postponed all the rest. She didn't go to the family dinner, as if she didn't care if he was on his birthday. The birthday gift is still prepared, and it was sent by Qiu Wei. In addition to what looked like it was for the occasion, there was also a long scarf, but it didn't look like she could knit it...... But he took it all and didn't say anything.

Her life is difficult, and he is watching.

Presumably, he didn't have the spirit to knit a scarf for him. Moreover, her craftsmanship is not good, and the buttons are all twisted and crooked......

The decision to go to Nanjing has just been made. Chief Suo You'an has been seriously ill since a few months ago. The illness was kept secret from the outside world, and at this time, the patient was dying, and it was finally announced to the public. Picking such an opportunity, I am afraid that it is also to consider the chaos behind him, and buy more time for Cheng Zhichen to plan. My father and Chief Suo have been friends and enemies for almost a lifetime, and in the final analysis, they both have a deep affection. Especially at this time, the situation is complex and sensitive, all parties are testing Nanjing's reality and doubts, and they are all watching Tao Shengchuan's every move in the northwest. Eventually, my father decided to go to Nanjing to visit Chief Suo.

Although there is his second brother Tao Si in Nanjing, he still won't let his father go alone.

Jing Yi was unusually calm when she heard the news. The outside world was as if it had nothing to do with her. It should not be difficult for her to think that Cheng Zhichen is in a critical period. It should not be difficult to imagine that at this time, the Jin'an Club, which was once a shadow cabinet that played a pivotal role in the previous government, will play a major role. A few years have passed, and Kim Chang-gil and Kong Ji-hyo who have gone south have also held heavy power. Cheng Shiyun will inevitably push them and give Cheng Zhichen firm support. It is probably because of this that Cheng Shiyun could still compete with him a few months ago, but he still compromised in time. Cheng Shiyun has this more important thing to plan.

He was watching from afar, but now he is going to be there.

The latest news is that Wen Mo's father Bai Huanzhang will also go to Nanjing in the near future. Father and Bai Huanzhang should have a tacit understanding. The white family has been in constant friction with Nanjing recently, and it has calmed down a little during this time, and I am afraid that it is also waiting to see the changes in Nanjing.

He wasn't afraid that the situation would be chaotic.

Looking at Jingyi, he thought, she ignored these things like this, and wondered if she really didn't care.

`

`

Tao Shengchuan and his son went to Nanjing for only three days, and the visit turned into a condolence.

Jingyi was shocked when she heard the news of Suo Youan's death on the radio.

She hadn't listened to the radio or read the newspaper for a long time. Tao Xiang accompanied her father to Nanjing, and after they left, she felt apprehensive and always tried to find a way to get more news. Occasionally, Mrs. Tao said that she was overburdened by her body because she was older, and asked her to rest well. But she knew where her worries were coming from...... After listening to the radio, she was stunned for a while.

Zhang's mother asked her if she was scared.

She said no. Thinking of it, I asked Zhang's mother to call Ma Xingjian in and asked him to send a telegram to the third sister-in-law for him to express his condolences.

Ma Xingjian had just walked for a while, and Yue'er happily came up to report that Qiu Wei was here.

After a while, Qiu Wei, who was still dressed as a bride, appeared in front of her. Pulling up her hair in a bun, Qiu Wei looks like a little woman.

Jingyi was very relieved to see her radiant. asked her in a slow voice, and Qiu Wei answered them one by one.

Jingyi smiled and asked, "Xi'an is interesting?" ”

Attu took Qiuwei to Xi'an for her honeymoon.

Qiu Wei nodded, snapped her fingers and said to Jingyi what was there, the stele forest, the big and small wild goose pagodas...... "It's just that there are a lot of words on the stele that I can't recognize." But fortunately, he didn't recognize it all. Qiu Wei smiled as she spoke.

Jingyi laughed too.

Jingyi pinched Qiu Wei's earlobe and said, "Are you ashamed?" ”

Qiu Wei hugged Jingyi's legs, looked at her with a smile, and said, "Miss, you look really good." I'm out there, but I'm worried about you. ”

"The mind is not on your bridegroom, but on me, and the groom will complain." Jingyi said with a smile.

Qiu Wei's face turned red, and she snorted and said, "Miss! ”

Jingyi saw Yue'er cover her mouth and smiled, coughed, and said, "Okay, I won't laugh at you." ”

Qiu Wei said, "Miss, I'll talk to Atul. He's going back to Qishan, and I'm still coming in to serve Miss for a few days a month, okay? ”

"Not good." Jingyi said.

Qiu Wei hugged her legs tightly, shook them, and said, "Good young lady, just promise me!" ”

"You're shaking, I'm dizzy." As soon as Jing Yi said, Qiu Wei hurriedly let go. Jingyi touched her combed bun, "I'm married, where is the reason to come in and serve me." I don't lack you here. Go live your little life, take care of Atul. There are so many military officers' wives in the military village, you can get along with them - you can do hairy work, and you can also play mahjong...... You're busy. I had to come in and see me again, learn to cook with Zhang's mother, and learn to go back to cook for Atul. Give birth to a fat boy in a year or two, and bring it to me. ”

Qiu Wei listened at first, and when she heard the last sentence, she covered her face and couldn't help but shout: "Miss! Why is the young lady getting more and more ...... now?"

Jingyi couldn't help laughing, patted her face, and said with a smile: "You can rest assured of me." Put 10,000 hearts. ”

Qiu Wei blushed, still looking at her.

Jingyi suddenly clapped her hands and said, "Come, you touch." ”

She pointed to her stomach, and Qiu Wei didn't understand what was going on. She took Qiu Wei's hand and put it on her stomach.

Through her belly, Qiu Wei felt something move.

She almost cried out and looked at Jingyi.

Jingyi was a little smug and blinked.

Zhang's mother and Yue'er have been accustomed to seeing Jingyi like this these days, so they have gone down to work with a smile. Qiu Wei was left to accompany Jing Yi and asked softly, "Miss, really don't let me serve you?" I'm fine...... Thinking about it day and night, it's all young lady......"

"Can you still be by my side for the rest of your life? I'm fine, you can rest assured. Jingyi whispered.

Seeing this, Qiu Wei didn't speak for a while.

Jing Yi gently stroked her stomach, thinking of the radio she had just heard, and she was in a state of mind for a long time.

"Miss, my uncle is not at home, you should be careful about everything." Qiu Wei said.

Jingyi nodded.

Tao Xiang shouldn't have come back so soon......

……

Tao Shengchuan and his son returned to Lanzhou only three days after Suo You'an's public sacrifice.

Also coming back was Tao Si's family of three.

When Yamei took Se Se to see Jing Yi, Jing Yi knew that Tao Si had officially resigned from the Central Army a few days ago. And General Shi Jingchang resigned from his military post on the grounds of poor health and went to the United States for recuperation. Jingyi listened to this news, and it was not difficult to speculate that in just ten days, Nanjing's turmoil was surging. She always felt that although everything seemed to be on the right track, it was like the sea before a storm, and strength was building up under the calm surface, and there was a bigger storm to come.

When Yamei came back, she was very happy to see the healthy Jingyi.

Especially Jingyi's quiet and satisfying pregnancy made her even happier.

She kept asking this and that, and Jingyi was very patient with her.

"Do you think it's going to be a son or a daughter?" Yamei came to spend time with Jingyi again this day, and Qilin'er, who had been on vacation, was playing with Cersei here. Yamei hugged them one by one, looking at Jingyi and smiling.

"Daughter." Jingyi said softly.

Yamei laughed, looked at her belly, and whispered, "I guess it's my son...... Tell you, in Nanjing, Wen Mo and Lao Qi drank together, and both of them said that their sons would be in their families. Wen Mo said that if it is a man and a woman, simply give a kiss and come to kiss and kiss. Lao Qi disagrees......"

Jingyi listened and looked at Yamei.

Yamei smiled: "Lao Qi said, looking at Wen Mo and Er Yi, their children can't look good." He's going to be complained about in the future. ”

Jingyi couldn't help but laugh.

"Eighth sister should be the end of February, and you should be the end of March. Soon. Yamei said happily.

Jingyi nodded.

March seems far away, but it also seems close at hand...... She was always looking forward to meeting this child - what kind of child was it, so able to toss, so much suffering and so angry, whether it was fetal movement or whatever, it was surprisingly early to happen. But what satisfied her the most was that the child was healthy and tenacious......

The return of Yamei's family, especially the Cersei and Qilin'er, who played crazy with the little girls and little boys in the inner house all day long, were as cute as Moheluo, and they seemed to bring a new wind to the twilight Tao family.

It's already a cold winter, Jingyi is closed, and occasionally the sound of children setting off firecrackers comes in, and she will also realize that the New Year is coming soon. Ya Mei helped Mrs. Tao prepare for the New Year, and took the time to come and see her, even if it was just to make her laugh, and then go to other things.

After Tao Si and Tao Xiang returned from Nanjing, they often went out early and returned late together, and they always stayed at Tao Shengchuan until late when they came back, and sometimes Tao Jun also joined them.

Jingyi flipped through the newspaper on the table one morning. Under the headline of the Central Daily to congratulate the New Year's Day is Cheng Zhichen's formal photo. She watched it for a while before she connected the New Year's speech with her third brother.

Birds chirped, and a magpie landed outside the dining room window.

She asked Zhang's mother to break the bread and feed the magpies. Zhang's mother said that the morning report the good news and the night report the wealth, what is the good news, right?

Mother Zhang sprinkled breadcrumbs on the windowsill, and the magpie was not afraid of people, so she ate it by herself, chirping for a while, and attracted several more...... It's a joy to watch.

Jingyi calculated, the third brother is not young.

She was stunned for a long time, and only then did she raise her head when Tao Xiang also sat on the chair opposite her, ready to eat breakfast. has already resigned, and the New Year is approaching, he doesn't need to go to the headquarters early, and he gets up late. The whole person looks a little scattered.

At the long dining table, she and Tao Xiang were on their own side.

The aroma of coffee in Tao Xiang's hand spread like a mist. Drinking coffee, he asked Jingyi, "Did you sleep well last night?" ”

Jingyi said, "Very good. ”

The newspaper was set aside, not going to be touched again.

Tao Xiang had to flip through the newspaper on the dining table every day, opened it and looked at it, and then put it down. There was a telegram, and the maid outside answered it, and came in and said that the seventh young master was the second young master of the Pu family.
