Chapter 24: The Sail (1)
[Chapter 24: The Sail That Drifts Away]
Late at night, with a "wow", the little baby opened its toothless little mouth and cried.
Jingyi reluctantly turned her head to look at Zhang's mother and said, "Hurry up and let the nurse come." β
Waiting for the nurse to come in, Jing Yi held the fat doll with a snow-white complexion and kissed and kissed. It's just that the child is humming and chirping, and the little face is wrinkled and crying again. Jingyi looked at her apologetically.
She didn't want her daughter to eat someone else's milk. Although she had hired two wet nurses early in the morning, she insisted on feeding her daughter herself. Unfortunately, her milk is not good, and her daughter often can't eat enough.
"Nan, you're too good to eat." She bowed her head and called her daughter's breast name, and pressed her forehead against her daughter's delicate and full forehead. This little guy who can eat very well grows very fast, and his little arms are fat like lotus roots, and he is very strong.
Zhang's mother hugged the child with a smile and whispered, "The young grandmother eats too little." β
Jingyi sighed.
For the sake of the girl, she has eaten very hard.
The wet nurse came in sleepy-eyed, sat down and hugged the child, untied the placket and breastfed the child - Jing Yi watched her daughter eat milk, and she was almost jealous of the wet nurse.
The wet nurse breastfeeds the child, and Jingyi walks slowly around on the side.
It's the height of summer, but I'm afraid that the child will catch a cold at night, the window is always not fully open, the fan is not open, and the cicada noise outside the window is bursting, which makes people feel hot.
Mother Zhang saw that Jingyi was a little troubled, so she didn't bother her. Only fanned the nurse and the child on the side. She knew that the young grandmother was so uneasy not only because of the lack of milk, but also because the seventh young master was fighting outside, and the object of the war was the third brother of the young grandmother's mother's family...... Although the young grandmother never mentioned it in front of people, she would never think about it.
Jingyi lowered her head and bit the tips of her fingers.
She was indeed thinking about the current war.
Tao Xiang was not at home during this time, and came back every few days to visit his daughter. At the end of March, the battle situation with the Central Army was in full swing due to the reinforcement of the Bai family. The Central Army pressed the border, and the Northwest Army attacked in an all-round way, winning and losing each other. The Northwest Army was brave and brave, and the main generals were as resourceful as Ma Zhongcheng and others, and after the attack, the battle line shrank, gradually showing the superiority of local operations, and gradually gaining the upper hand in the past month, turning the regiments of the Central Army into a regiment. The morale of the Northwest Army is booming, and Tao Xiang is even more energetic. Cheng Zhichen personally went to the front line to command the operation, and it seemed that he would not give up until he pulled out the tiger tooth of the Northwest Army, which made him the most painful...... Jingyi calculated, Tao Xiang hadn't been home for a few days.
She couldn't help but feel a little melancholy when she saw that her daughter was still eating milk greedily. The little guy is anxious, and if he is hungry, if he doesn't get milk at three moments, he will cry earth-shattering...... Fortunately, the nurse is gentle and kind, and takes good care of the child.
Jingyi was relieved, so she took advantage of this time to go in and take a bath.
When he came out, he heard a low laugh. She was stunned to find that the room was empty and there was no one. Zhang's mother, wet nurse and child are gone. She walked out quickly, the bedroom door was open, she walked over and leaned in to take a look, and sure enough, in the living room, Tao Xiang was standing there, holding her daughter in her big hands, and holding it high above her head-the little one was full of food and drink, and was in good spirits, kicking a pair of little fat legs, and cooing and smiling at his father...... It's smiling, big eyes crooked.
Such a young child, I don't know if it's conscious, in short, the eyes are bent, it's just a smile, it's really hard to see enough.
Jingyi leaned against the door, and the door panel shook and made a sound.
She hurriedly helped the door panel, but Tao Xiang also found her, held her daughter in her arms, looked back at her, and nodded.
She didn't have time to change clothes when she saw him come back, she only wore a white vest and hugged her daughter, and her shoulders were covered with sweat. She asked softly, "Are you going to leave right away?" Take a shower and come back to hug you. β
Tao Xiang handed her daughter over to her and said, "I'll go." I'll go wash it. β
Jingyi held Nannan in her arms, dressed in a milky Nannan, with a little smell of his tobacco on her body. Jingyi looked at Tao Xiang. Tao Xiang stretched out his hand and nodded his daughter's little nose, suddenly leaned over and kissed her before going. Jingyi stood in place, looking down at Nannan, and it happened that she yawned, and her cute appearance made her can't help but kiss her...... She held her in her arms and coaxed her to sleep.
Wandering slowly in the living room, listening to the noise of cicadas outside.
It doesn't seem as annoying as it just now...... Nan Nan fell asleep, Jingyi went into the house and put her in the cradle for Zhang's mother to look at. She came out and packed up her things. When picking up Tao Xiang's shirt, something fell to the ground. She picked it up, and it was a small leather-faced notebook. The piece of paper that was folded into a square in the notebook also fell. She held it in her hand and hesitated before opening it to see that it was a map drawn casually. However, the place name is not clearly marked, only codes and symbols are used. The map also has a red pencil to mark the route, and there are a few large red arrows that look very eye-catching...... Jingyi watched, and suddenly heard a voice, and when she turned around, Tao Xiao was standing behind her, wiping her hair.
"This one fell out." Jing Yi hurriedly folded the map and clipped it into her notebook, grouped it with Tao Xiang's holster, and put away only the dirty uniform.
Tao Xiang looked at her as if the teacher had caught a cheating student...... She went in to get him the uniform he was going to change, and Tao Xiang came over and sat on the sofa.
When Jingyi came out, he saw Tao Xiang still sitting there. He seemed to be thinking about something, and she silently placed her clothes beside him, and he didn't move.
In the bedroom, Zhang's mother was coaxing Nannan to sleep, humming a tune in a low voice. The tone is gentle.
"It's been a hundred days, and my mother said that it was not convenient to do it at this time, and my relatives and friends always had to invite a few tables." Jingyi remembered that July 18, that is, the day after tomorrow, would be her daughter's 100th day. She looked at Tao Xiang, "Can you come back?" β
Tao Xiang fastened the button, nodded and said, "Yes." β
She looked like she had something to say, and he waited.
She whispered, "You have to be careful. β
Tao Xiang looked at her and nodded.
Jing Yi knew that he was leaving, and stood behind him silently, watching him pack his things in the same way. Her heart was up and down at this time, and she urgently needed to stabilize her mind. She always felt that something big would happen to him when he left...... Tao Xiang watched the fan in her hand put it down and picked it up again. Her face was flushed, as if she felt hot, but she didn't fan the wind, just stared at him.
The fan spike snapped and was ripped off by Jing Yi. The tassels were scattered, and the jade beads rolled all over the ground, and it was very messy.
Jingyi looked down, and when she looked up again, Tao Xiang said I am leaving, and the person has already gone downstairs.
When she went downstairs, Tao Xiang had already gone out.
"Young grandma, I didn't take the young master's cigarettes." Yue'er found the unopened cigarettes on the coffee table and hurriedly told Jingyi.
Jingyi looked out, Tao Xiang walked fast, and he had already arrived in the courtyard. He turned his head to look at Ma Xingjian beside him, and said something, Ma Xingjian immediately turned around. It was expected that Tao Xiang also remembered it, so he asked Yue'er to take it out.
"Let him smoke a few cigarettes." Jingyi waited for Ma Xingjian to come over, and said softly--Tao Xiang had already walked out of the courtyard gate without looking back--Ma Xingjian nodded in agreement. He was about to leave, Jingyi called him, "Take good care of Qishao." I'm a little worried. β
Ma Xingjian stood at the bottom of the steps, nodded again, and said, "Miss Ten doesn't have to worry. At the moment, the battle is going well. β
He finished and left.
Jingyi stood there until he walked out of the courtyard gate and heard the sound of a car engine until the sound was gone...... She seemed to wake up suddenly when she heard her daughter's cry, and suddenly her body trembled.
When you listen carefully, there is no sound except for the noise of the cicadas. She probably misheard.
Yue'er was beside her, looked at her and asked, "Is the young grandmother cold?" β
She nodded.
Yue'er was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she hurriedly went to get a shawl for her.
Jing Yi held the shawl, still a little stunned. Yue'er helped her upstairs, and Zhang's mother happened to come out of the room and whispered to Jingyi, "Nan Nan is asleep." β
Jingyi nodded, went into the room and asked Zhang's mother to turn off the lights, and sat by her daughter's cradle and looked at herβthe child looked exactly like her. But every time she looked at her daughter, she somehow felt like him everywhere...... Jingyi stretched out a finger and gently touched her daughter's clenched little fist.
"Mommy, you love you...... Do you know? She whispered.
β¦β¦
The next day was the 100th day of Nannan, and Mrs. Tao asked Yamei to do it early and prepared a banquet to celebrate. At noon, Jingyi personally hugged her daughter and came out to meet the female guests. Nan Nan is very lovely, and the female guests compete to hug her.
Jingyi watched her daughter being passed around in the crook of the female guest's arm, for fear that they would make her uncomfortable. But she just opened her eyes and looked at them with a good temper, and the chubby elf looked like a fairy who was really loved by everyone. She relaxed and sat down beside Mrs. Tao. Listening to the female guests praising her, she was also happy.
Tao Shengchun sat next to her with her aunts and grandmothers, and saw that Nan Nan was being hugged and kissed by the second young grandmother of the Shui family, and couldn't help laughing: "When you grow up, you will be a peerless beauty...... This little guy has good feet, Lao Qi's journey is smooth, how to fight this battle and how to have ......"
"Yes. I said the same thing. It seems that in a few days, it will be time to drink the celebration wine. Tao Yinqing said in a low voice.
Jingyi heard this, and the soup spoon in her hand was beaten. Mrs. Tao was asking Jin Xuan to bring another bowl of soup to Jingyi, and said, "Eat more." β
Jingyi nodded, calmed down, and then looked up at Old Madam Tao and smiled.
Tao Shengchun turned his face to see Jingyi at this time, smiled too, sandwiched the dishes, and said in a low voice: "It's hard to bring a girl, you have to eat more." I only see you fat, but I don't see you grow meat. β
"Thank you, auntie." Jingyi smiled.
"Hasn't the seventh come back yet?" Old Madam Tao asked.
Tao Xiang said that he would come back, but he hadn't arrived when the banquet began.
