Chapter 23: The Inseparable Situation (4)
"Daddy sent me to the door." Qilin'er said obediently, "Uncle Seven, I'll come and see the little aunt." Grandma said that the little aunt was sick......"
Tao Xiang nodded, took his hand, and walked to the bedroom.
After entering the door, Tao Xiao let go of Qilin'er's hand, and he ran to the bed by himself. Qiu Wei stood up, but Mother Zhang said first: "Young Master Qilin, slow down." "Worried that Qilin'er is not light or heavy, it alarmed Jingyi. Qilin'er was well-behaved after all, and carefully stood by the bed and looked at Jingyi in his sleep, he was a little anxious, and looked back at Tao Xiang.
"Young Master." Zhang's mother put away the bed tent and hung it higher. Quietly glanced at Qiu Wei and motioned to her. Qiu Wei followed her and stepped back, but didn't go far. Packing up his things on the side, he kept an eye on Tao Xiang's movements. Seeing that he was extraordinarily gentle today, Zhang's mother asked her to get the decoction, and she went.
Tao Xiang found that the bed tent had been changed, it was plain blue, and it looked very cold. He frowned slightly. Look at Jingyi again, fortunately, she looks better than a few days ago. Zhang's mother also whispered that the young grandmother's fever had subsided a little today, and she was slowly getting better.
Tao Xiang nodded.
"Seventh uncle, what's wrong with the little aunt?" Kirin asked softly.
"It's cold." Tao Xiang whispered. Seeing that Qilin'er reached out to hold Jingyi's hand, he didn't stop it.
"It's hot." Kirin said.
Tao Xiao also stretched out his hand and put it on Jingyi's forehead. He asked Qilin to sit down, folded the wet towel that he had put aside, and rested it on Jingyi's forehead. Before he could sit back, he saw Jingyi move, and Qilin'er immediately shouted, "Little aunt! ”
Jingyi opened her eyes.
Hazy, she saw two shadows in front of her, one large and one small. The little one pounced on her face and called her little aunt. She looked at it carefully, and finally opened her mouth and called him: "Lin'er? ”
The child's face was pressed against her cheeks, cool.
She probably burned so badly that she felt cold about everything.
Tao Xiang looked at her and didn't make a sound. She was so weak that she couldn't lift her hands. Qiu Wei came in to deliver the decoction, she shook her head and said she didn't want to drink it. Qiu Wei persuaded a few words, but it didn't work.
"Little aunt, don't be good." Qilin'er suddenly spoke.
Jing Yi looked at him steadily. I saw that he took the medicine bowl from Qiu Wei and held it in front of her. She twisted her face away. After a while, he turned his face, and there were tears in his eyes. She saw Tao Xiang sit over, helped her up, and said, "Drink the medicine." He took the medicine bowl from Qilin'er's hand and brought it to her mouth.
She smelled the medicine and was sick to her stomach.
The medicine bowl seemed to move, flickering in front of her.
She leaned on his shoulder, and reluctantly raised her hand to touch the bowl, but he didn't let her move, so he started to feed her little by little.
The medicine is very bitter...... She rinsed her mouth with water and couldn't help but feel like throwing up.
Tao Xiang patted her on the back, making her even more uncomfortable. Finally suppressed the discomfort for a while, and she leaned against the head of the bed. Tao Xiang was so close to her that they were almost shoulder to shoulder. The smell on his body was warm and refreshing, there was no smell of smoke, only a faint soapy fragrance, which did not make her uncomfortable.
She was stunned, and remembered in a trance that she had been drowsy for the past two days, and there was also such a time, when he approached her and fed her medicine, she smelled the smoke on his body, and not only did she vomit the medicine she drank, but she even vomited out bitter bile water...... She swallowed.
Qilin'er stood beside the bed, looking at her with a sad face.
She smiled at him and asked, "Are you okay in the academy?" ”
"That's good!" Qilin'er's eyes lit up. Jingyi asked him what a good way to do it, and Qilin'er muttered to her about her experience in the academy these days. Jingyi listened and smiled. The decision to send Kirin to the school was done very correctly. This kid is so cheerful...... She listened intently to him, which made him more interested in talking about the interesting things in the school.
Tao Xiang looked at Jing Yi and Qilin'er, and from time to time, Jing Yi let out a low sigh of admiration, and Qilin'er's little face was flushed and her eyes were shining...... He coughed softly, and Qilin'er stopped.
"Father is waiting for you, Lin'er." He said.
Only then did Qilin'er remember that his father was coming, and he was busy shaking his hand with Jingyi, saying that he would come back to visit his little aunt after school tomorrow. bowed, and then ran out, listening to him call Fushun Fushun, hurry up, hurry up...... He was the only sound in the room, and the wind blew gently outside.
Jingyi and Tao Xiang were both out of their minds.
"Jingyi," Tao Xiang said softly, "Father will be here in two days." ”
Jingyi lowered her head and asked, "What will happen to you if he can't give you a satisfactory answer?" ”
Tao Xiang said: "I heard what Zhang's mother said. ”
Jingyi turned her eyes to him and said, "What do you say, did I contradict my father in the Cheng family?" ”
Tao Xiang was silent.
"That's not for you. They ruined my life once, and they're ruining it a second time. I don't want my whole life ruined. Jingyi said. After another wave of nausea, she turned her face away and endured it until this moment passed. "You don't have to appreciate it. Father is willing to compromise, and you made him have to do this. I have to congratulate you on your big win. However, I believe that if I want to break the net with you, I will not be completely unable to deal with you, but I still give in. I don't know why, but I hope you know. ”
Tao Xiang said: "Fei Yuming has been sent back to Nanjing. How to deal with it, someone will watch it. Dai Mengyuan and his comrades were indicted the day before yesterday, and after the verdict, they will serve their sentences locally. The affairs of Ren Xiufang and Zhao Shimin have been clarified and released. ”
Jingyi listened, her heart pounding.
"I want this child to be born safely." Tao Xiang said.
Jingyi looked at him.
"You take care of yourself." After Tao Xiang finished speaking, he got up and left.
Jing Yi watched his shiny boots move rapidly in the light and shadow refracted by the setting sun, and in the alternation of light and dark, he was already out of the room...... Her chest seemed to be pressed by a boulder for a long time, and suddenly it moved away, and her heart could barely bear the qi that had accumulated in her body.
Her face turned pale.
Qiu Wei hurriedly patted her chest and said anxiously, "Miss, take care of yourself...... Miss has a cold and is not healed...... Don't get excited......"
"I don't take medicine from tomorrow." Jingyi said.
Qiu Wei was stunned.
"Young grandma, this can't be done." Zhang's mother said on the side.
"Taking too much medicine is not good for the child." Jingyi said, looking at Zhang's mother, "I understand, Zhang's mother." You are all at ease. I know my body...... I don't blame you. ”
Zhang's mother blushed and nodded.
"Miss......" Qiu Wei listened to her speak softly, tired and tired, but gentle and gentle. Her heart was so sad that her eyes suddenly became wet. "Miss is so protective of this child, why bother to tell my uncle about that. How it hurts feelings. ”
Jingyi lay down, still leaning on Qiu Wei.
Her lower abdomen was hot, and she put her hands on top of her head. Bulging, there. For a while, she still didn't think it was real. Although I don't know if it's a man or a woman, it should be a very healthy child, it's only been two months, and it's only been two months, and it's still honestly in her belly...... She couldn't hurt it.
"This is my child. I've got to take care of it. Jingyi finished speaking, closing her eyes.
There was nothing more important to her right now. Although this child did not let her be at peace, she didn't care about this pain......
Zhang's mother quietly retreated, leaving only Qiu Wei to stay by Jingyi's side.
Qiu Wei listened to Jingyi's breathing gradually steady, and knew that she was asleep. Yue'er came in to replace her and asked her to go down for dinner. She waited a little longer before coming down.
Yue'er came in to replace her and asked her to go down for dinner. She waited a little longer before coming down.
She didn't expect her uncle to be still there, in the huge restaurant, her uncle looked at a table of food, and he didn't seem to move, and the bottle of wine in his hand was already halfway down...... There is no one waiting in front of me, so my aunt and young lady must want to be quiet.
She curtsied Tao Xiang and prepared to go down for dinner, but Tao Xiang stopped her.
She waited for Tao Xiang to ask.
Tao Xiao looked at this clever girl, but in the end she didn't ask anything, and waved her hand to let her go.
Qiu Wei walked quickly, and disappeared in a flash.
Tao Xiang stood up.
He looked up and saw a huge photograph hanging on the wall. He just looked at it, turned around and walked out of the restaurant.
When Li Dalong saw him come out, he had already prepared his belongings for him, thinking that he was leaving, and he didn't want him to wave his hand, so he didn't mean to leave immediately.
The white lion came out of nowhere and came up behind him.
He stood down and looked at the fat white fellow.
Looks stupid...... He crouched down, almost as tall as it.
Li Dalong was wondering, wanting to remind the commander that there was still a meeting to be held in the evening, and it would be too late if he didn't leave, but looking at this rare scene, he didn't dare to disturb it.
Fortunately, Tao Xiang did not delay for long. It's just that when I got up again, the little warmth on my body was almost gone.
When I went out, I met my mother and eldest sister to come to see Jingyi. Seeing that he was leaving, they had to ask a few words about Jingyi's situation, reminding him that he must come back early during the Mid-Autumn Festival the day after tomorrow.
He agreed.
The Mid-Autumn Festival celebration is grand and must be attended. This year, something happened at home one after another, and it should be a good reunion festival.
Tao Er'an saw him leave in a hurry, and when he turned around and entered the gate of Langyuan, he sighed and said to his mother: "Otherwise, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival again, and the daughter-in-law will be happy again, and the family will be reunited." After worshipping ancestors and having a reunion dinner, I'm afraid Jingyi won't be able to come, right? It's a pity that I'm sick...... I see that although my father is not very revealing, he has been in a good mood these days, and he has been a little kind when he talks to Lao Qi. ”
Mrs. Tao glanced at her daughter.
Er An smiled: "Mother, I didn't say that Jingyi is pregnant with a doll, don't stare at her like this." She can't stand your eyes now......" She also laughed with her mother and went to see Jingyi together.
Mrs. Tao was silent.
Seeing that her face was not very good, Er An stopped arguing with her.
However, Mrs. Tao talked to Er An after a while.
After Er An got married, it was the first time to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at his parents' house. She herself is a foreigner, and she was born in a family with very strict rules. Although it was a disagreement with Yu Li, it was also because of the recent incidents at home, Tao Shengchuan was seriously ill and just recovered, and no one said anything. She asked Fu Lianzhi to take her sons back to her hometown in Shanxi to accompany Mrs. Fu for the holidays, and when her sons were not around, she was inevitably a little worried.
"Mother blames Jingyi in her heart, right?" She asked.
Mrs. Tao went upstairs, and when she saw the white mastiff who was still grinning at her before evading, she raised her eyebrows and did not answer.
"With my thinking that I have been a mother for many years, this time she is willing to raise the baby safely, and she will be the daughter-in-law of the Tao family in the future. Mother, be relieved. "Er An is a daughter in the end, and she knows Mrs. Tao's heart best.
Mrs. Tao let out a heavy breath in her nostrils.
Er An smiled and followed his mother to Jingyi's bedroom - it seemed that Jingyi's complexion today was slightly better than yesterday......
……
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, because she was worried that Jingyi's body would not be able to bear it, Mrs. Tao sent a message not to let Jingyi go to the ancestral hall to worship. Jingyi did what she could, but she still went.
The Mid-Autumn Festival, which is held every year, is still grand this year.
Tao Xiang and Jing Yi stood on both sides. He glanced at Jingyi occasionally. The dignified Jingyi seems to have no distractions, and the kowtow incense is very solemn.
When Tao Shengchuan walked out of the ancestral hall after the sacrifice, he also glanced at his little daughter-in-law attentively. Although he did not speak to her, the meaning of approval and affection was fully expressed.
Mrs. Tao didn't wait for the old lady to get into the sedan chair, so she told Jingyi to go back first.
Jing Yi was hesitating whether to get into the sedan chair first, but Mrs. Tao's tone became stern and said, "Aren't you faster?" ”
Jingyi was stunned. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a big festival, and because of the sacrifice, Mrs. Tao put on a lot of makeup. The black satin and gold embroidered skirt gown made her more majestic. Jingyi looked at her, and her heartbeat suddenly became irregular...... She didn't have to come. Although the old lady said that she didn't have to be there, the old man was also quite sad that day and said that none of the granddaughters-in-law could go to this year's Mid-Autumn Festival...... She thought she should have come.
Seeing that she was stunned, Mrs. Tao's face still did not ease.
Seeing this, Tao Xiang came over and took Jingyi's hand and let her get into the sedan chair. The expression of the still ripple is wooden. He asked her if she was feeling unwell, and she shook her head.
"That's good." He said as he lowered the sedan curtain and asked the sedan driver to slow down. When I turned around, I saw that Mrs. Tao was still with a straight face, and she reluctantly asked her to get into the sedan chair.
Mrs. Tao looked at him, as if she was even more angry, and finally said a sentence after a long time: "Why is she still so disobedient at this time?" ”
Mrs. Tao's words were not small, and Jingyi should be able to hear them in the sedan chair.
She then instructed the palanquin man to send the seventh young grandmother back to Langyuan to rest. said to Qiu Wei and Zhang's mother, who followed Jingyi, to serve Seventh Young Grandma carefully.
Tao Xiao motioned to Ke'er, but Mrs. Tao didn't wait for Ke'er to speak, and walked up with great strides, as if she was very angry.
Seeing her like this, Tao Xiang was not in a hurry to follow, and looked back first, Jingyi's sedan chair went in the opposite direction......
When I returned to Langyuan, Jingyi got off the sedan chair and sat in the living room for a long time. The weather was already cold, and Qiu Wei brought her a wool blanket to cover her legs, afraid that she would catch a cold again. When urging her to go up to rest, Qiu Wei's eyes were red. Jingyi looked at her and whispered, "Silly girl, what's this, Mrs. is just afraid that I will make a mistake." She is to blame. ”
Qiu Wei looked at her and smiled, her eyes turned redder, and she whispered, "In front of so many people...... No matter how anxious the wife is, she should save some face for the young lady. ”
Jingyi was stunned and said, "Don't think about it. ”
"I'm not fooling...... I'm just Miss Distressed. Qiu Wei held back her tears, "It's too difficult, Miss...... What do you do next? ”
"What are we going to do next?" Jing Yi repeated Qiu Wei's words.
What to do next, she hasn't thought about it yet.
She only knows that no matter how uncomfortable it is, she must give birth to the child peacefully. Now, she has to think about what she will do with her baby after it is born...... For the first time, she began to worry.
Worry is still second, this child really doesn't let her worry.
Although the cold is gradually healing, the reaction during pregnancy is getting stronger day by day. I've tried everything, but she just can't eat or sleep well. The bitter gall water that I often vomit has come up. It didn't take long for people to become thinner and thinner, and they had to take nutritional injections to survive...... Even the old lady said that she had never seen such a toss-up child. Born later, I don't know how to make a fuss.
Everyone was worried about how Jingyi would be able to survive this period of time if she was so weak. Tao Inze has never given birth, he doesn't know the difficulty here, watching Jingyi endure hardships, complaining that he won't hold on if he can't hold on. But it made Mrs. Tao angry. The two old ladies came to Jingyi every day with half-truths and half-truths to quarrel and quarrel. Jingyi was also stubborn, taking nutritional injections, and stuffing it into her mouth every day.
Although she vomited after eating, and ate after vomiting, it really made people watch her suffer...... It wasn't until she was five months pregnant that she gradually became more stable, she could eat and sleep slowly, and she gained more weight. The big guy just put his heart down.
It's also cold, and Jingyi can't believe it every time she sees her bloated self in the mirror.
In the past, she was willing to go out and take a few more steps, but now she is becoming more and more lazy. It's not that I can't go, it's that I don't want to go out, or even go downstairs. Every day, she watched the yellowed leaves on the still trees as if they were solidified, and she looked at it for most of the day...... She felt as if she was a leaf like that, nestled in the branches. When there is no wind, even a fragile snuggle is safe.
As the days passed, her children grew up in care.
She doesn't want to go in the past, and she doesn't want to think about the future. In this way, she even feels very happy.
Before you know it, winter is coming, and the weather is getting colder and colder.
There is no wind in Lanzhou in winter, and everything seems to be still.
When the first snow fell, she looked at the falling snow like salt and whispered to the child, "Did you know that snow here has weight...... She said that when you grow up, your mother will take you to see the snow in Beiping. In the winter of Beiping, the wind blows, the snow blows, and the bones of frozen people crunch...... If your grandma is still here, she will make tiger head shoes for you and buy you rock sugar gourds......
She didn't know how beautiful it seemed to others to lean against the window and watch the snow fall, whispering softly.
Qiu Wei said Miss, I have been serving Miss for so many years, and I have never seen Miss so fat. I've never seen a young lady so beautiful.
She smiled.
At this time, she doesn't care if she is beautiful or not.
She looked at Qiu Wei and said Qiu Wei, you should get married.
Qiu Wei and Atul's wedding date has not been decided. Every time Atul came back from Qishan, he came to visit them. Qiu Wei said that she would wait for the young lady to give birth safely before thinking about getting married. The honest Atul is waiting for Qiu Wei.
She laughed and said you can't always keep Atul waiting.
Qiu Wei just laughed and said Miss, don't worry about this, we have a plan.
Qiu Wei said "careful" She didn't ask carefully, but she always knew that this girl was always thinking about her.
She didn't discuss with Qiu Wei again, and found Ma Xingjian to tell him, Tao Xiang asked him to give her a letter when he was free, and she asked him to tell him about the wedding for Atul and Qiu Wei.
Two days later, Pony tells her that Qishao has no arrangements for that night. She went to his office and asked him to come back in the evening. In the phone, she said that it was because of Atul's marriage. He was happy to agree.
When he returned, he took Atul with him. During the meal, Qiu Wei and Attu sat with them. It was useless for Qiu Wei to object, the wedding date was set, and they would soon get married.
The Tao family is quite in favor of this marriage. She personally took Qiu Wei and Attu to kowtow to Mrs. Tao and Mrs. Tao. knew that she was afraid that she would be tired because of this, so she left it to Zhang's mother to prepare. Fortunately, everything is ready-made, and after only half a month of busy work, it is all in order.
Atul and Qiu Wei's wedding was simple. Tao Xiang was present as the officiant. She didn't go. One is inconvenience, and the other is that I am afraid that I will not be able to stand it...... After the wedding, Qiu Wei and Attu went to the nest of the two of them.
She went to see that nest once, and it was three ordinary houses in the military village of the Northwest Army. After she went to see it, she came back and asked Zhang's mother to make up some daily things and send them over. As if this was the only way to completely relax.
After Qiu Wei got married, she couldn't adapt for a while.
