When Xu Erlang finished this meal, the bang of the third watch had already sounded.

The snowy night is particularly quiet, and the sound of the bang is more clear and distinct.

When Jin Niang heard the sound of bangs, she couldn't help but yawn. She was a little sleepy, tears rolling out of the corners of her eyes, and she looked drowsy.

Seeing this, Xu Erlang instructed Qingmiao to pack up his things, and he rinsed his mouth, got up and hugged Jinniang and walked to the bed.

As soon as Jin Niang's body hit the bed, she curled up into a comfortable arc. Xu Erlang put the tent later, turned off the light and went to bed, and Jin Niang automatically got into his arms again.

In these few actions, Jin Niang was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyelids.

Xu Erlang also wanted to ask her how the family was doing during this time - although he also knew about the big and small things in the family from the letters, but Jinniang has always reported good news and not bad news, and he was worried that she would hide it from him when she encountered difficulties, and he would worry about himself.

It's a pity that before he had time to ask, Jinniang fell asleep, and made a silly little nasal voice, which showed that she was very sleepy.

Xu Erlang couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth and slowly sketched a smile.

She slept, and his heart was at peace. Also, from the moment he returned home to see her, all the tiredness and boredom he had drifted outside were gone. At this time, he was full of energy, as if he could walk on a horse for two days and three nights.

But he was in high spirits, but his body was really tired, Xu Erlang was lying on the bed to cultivate sleepiness, and suddenly felt that something seemed to kick him.

He reached over, but before he could touch it, he was gently kicked again.

This time also seemed to open Xu Erlang's thoughts, he suddenly realized what the thing that kicked him might be, and all his sleepiness disappeared for a while. His whole body was extremely energetic, his breathing was light, and his hands and feet were cramped and he didn't know where to put it.

After a long time, he didn't move, but the thing kicked again, as if tentatively.

Xu Erlang could no longer suppress the surging emotions, he stretched out his hand and gently placed his palm on Jin Niang's stomach.

He didn't dare to move, and he scared the little one. The one in Jinniang's belly was restless, as if she knew that there was a "stranger" next to her mother, so she kicked it twice more anxiously.

Those two kicks happened to hit Xu Erlang's palm, and his heart suddenly softened into a puddle of water. An unprecedented emotion swept through his body, Xu Erlang only felt that his scalp was numb, and his blood was boiling at an unprecedented speed.

His hands and feet trembled.

After that, the baby turned over in Jinniang's belly again, as if he was tired from exercise, or this position was very comfortable, and he finally fell asleep.

Xu Erlang waited for another quarter of an hour, and saw that she didn't move anymore, so he reluctantly let go of his hand and removed his palm from Jinniang's belly.

Xu Erlang knew that it was one thing for Jinniang to have fetal movements, but she really experienced it, and this feeling was novel and shocking. Xu Erlang really realized at this time what it means to be connected by blood.

His mind was so convulsive that he didn't fall asleep for a long time. When the sky was about to dawn and his spirit was really tired, Xu Erlang gently hugged Jinniang and fell asleep.

This sleep is a rare dream.

He dreamed that he was holding a bamboo raft in March and carrying Jin Niang to go to the lake, and he didn't want the fish in the lake to chase the bamboo raft. Jin Niang still has some childish temperament, so she squatted down. Break a piece of pastry and feed it to the fish. saw one of the petite red koi, didn't look at the pastry, only jumped suddenly, and jumped into Jinniang's arms......

Xu Erlang seemed to be able to hear it in his sleep, and the koi milk called "mother" in a milky voice, and he sat up like a lightning strike.

Jin Niang was sitting in the stepping bed, holding a small dress and sewing it carefully, seeing him sit up suddenly, she couldn't help but walk over in surprise, "What's wrong with you?" Having a nightmare? ”

Xu Erlang looked at Jinniang who was close at hand, and then looked at her round belly, and after a long time, he came back to his senses, and he looked at the sky outside, only to see that the sky was already bright, and the room was shining, I was afraid that it was noon.

Xu Erlang slowed down for a while before pulling Jin Niang over and letting her sit down beside her, "I dreamed of my daughter." ”

"Daughter?"

Jin Niang wondered if Xu Erlang was running around and working hard for the past few days, and the whole person was so tired that he hallucinated. She shook her hand in front of Xu Erlang's eyes and teased, "Where is your daughter?" ”

"It's in your stomach."

Jin Niang: "...... You can't be dreaming of a fetus, are you? ”

Jin Niang tilted her head to look at Xu Erlang in distress, "Why is it so unfair?" I was more than six months pregnant, morning sickness, lethargy, leg cramps, almost everything I could have encountered during pregnancy. I have suffered so much, but I have never dreamed of her once, it makes no sense that you, as a father, feel something, just returned home from afar, and saw her, which is not fair. ”

"It can be seen that my daughter is still close to me."

Jin Niang was angry when she heard this, "No wonder everyone says that her daughter is her father's little lover in her previous life." Looking at you like this, I believe eight points. Now that this one in my belly hasn't come out yet, you are so rare, it can be seen that after she came out, I didn't have a good life. What do you say I'm trying to do, I worked hard to conceive a baby, and she still doesn't have a mother like me, I think about it, it's like swallowing a few catties of Coptis chinensis, and I feel panicked. ”

Xu Erlang comforted her very insincerely, "When my daughter grows up, I will educate her well, let her care more about her mother, and be closer to you." ”

Jinniang: "......" If you don't say this in a smug tone, I will believe in your sincerity even more.

The couple gaged, and Jin Niang became more and more interested, and couldn't help but ask about Xu Erlang's dream in detail.

Xu Erlang didn't hide it, so he told her.

At first, Xu Erlang's face was still full of joy, but gradually, the joy became a little stagnant.

Jin Niang pushed him, "You go on, what about after I broke the pastries and fed them them?" ”

"After ......"

"What happened after that? You mean. You man, how can you hang my appetite, you are so bad. ”

Xu Erlang couldn't bear Jin Niang's obsession, and finished the fetal dream with a gloomy face.

And Jin Niang, who listened to the whole process, widened her apricot eyes suspiciously, and looked at Xu Erlang, "You just dreamed of koi, and you think it's your daughter?" Your conclusion is too arbitrary. Does koi refer specifically to daughters, why don't I know? ”

"It's not that when I dream of a koi, I think she's a daughter, but because she calls you mother, I can't mishear that voice, it must be the voice of the little girl's family."

"Did you hear my daughter call me to kiss me?"

Is that the point? Well, that's really the point! Xu Erlang couldn't help but let out a sullen "um".

"Did the daughter call your father?"

This question pierced my heart, Xu Erlang's face seemed to be much whiter in an instant, he pursed his thin lips, and looked depressed, "...... No. ”

Jin Niang: "......"

A smiling expression appeared on Jinniang's face, and after that, she became more and more unable to hold back, so she laughed.

"Xu Erlang, Xu Erlang, you are embarrassed to tell me that your daughter is close to you. If she's so close to you, why did she jump into my arms? You say, why didn't she call you daddy, why didn't she jump into your arms? ”

Xu Erlang's face became even more gloomy.

Jin Niang stood up proudly and turned around twice in place, "It can be seen that my daughter is still close to me from the bottom of her heart, good child, it was not in vain that I worked so hard to raise her." After saying that, Jin Niang smiled, Yi Yiran left the stepping bed, leaving Xu Erlang to pat the bed depressedly, and then got out of bed and got up.

When Xu Erlang finished washing up and walked outside, he saw Pian Pian and Changle coming over, sitting on the stool opposite Jin Niang, talking to Jin Niang.

Pianpin: "Sister-in-law, how do you know that you have my little niece in your belly, what if it is a little nephew?" ”

"It must be a little niece, your second brother has a dream of having a baby."

Pian Pian doesn't know what a fetal dream is, but a fetal dream is also a dream. Dreams can't be true, and fetal dreams certainly can't be fully believed. She defended, "It can't be that my second brother had something in mind, so he had that dream, but in fact it wasn't like that at all." So, sister-in-law, don't panic to give him a nickname, in case you can't use it. ”

Jin Niang thought that what Pian Pian said was reasonable, so she nodded, "What you said is also right." But then she spoke again, "But Xiao Yu'er, a little name that can be used by both men and women, let's just call it that." Otherwise, the baby and the baby will call him all day long, and he won't know who I call. ”

Pianpian: "......" Could it be that when you call Xiao Yu'er, he knows that he is calling him? Is the name so pointed? Are the future little nephews and little nieces so psychic? She's short-sighted, don't fool her.

No matter how speechless Pian Pian was, anyway, Jin Niang gave the little guy in her womb a nickname for a little fish.

The overall situation has been decided, Pian Pian can only accept her fate, and the little fish screams. Not to mention, this nickname is really cute, and I called it a few times, and I think it is quite suitable for the future little niece or nephew, so let's just call it that.

Changle stared at Jin Niang's stomach from beginning to end, without interjecting or refutating. Her eyes stared straight at Jin Niang's stomach, and after a long while, she reached out and touched it, "It's my sister." ”

Pianpin: "...... Your child's family, what do you know? ”

Jin Niang has a different opinion, "Only children can see things that adults can't see, Changle said that it was a sister, it must be a sister." ”

At this time, Xu Erlang came out of the back room, and Jin Niang beckoned someone to bring him something to eat, and said, "It's almost time for lunch, you can use some simply, and wait a while for the family to have lunch together." ”

Xu Erlang nodded, and when the maid was ready to eat, he beckoned Pian Pian and Changle to come to him.

After Pian Pian and Changle also came over, they learned that the second brother/second uncle rushed home overnight last night. For this reason, neither of them dared to speak loudly, lest they make him sleep.

Although they have been separated for many days, but in the end, they are blood relatives, and the two are still very close to Xu Erlang, and as soon as Xu Erlang beckoned, the two ran to him with a smile.

Pian Pian said, "Second brother, you have lost a lot of weight when you come back this time." Are you tired of Qiuqiu, have you suffered a lot? ”

Xu Erlang: "It's not bitter, it's okay." ”

Changle: "Second uncle eats more and doesn't get sick." This was because Xu Erlang's face was a little haggard, so he worriedly told him not to get sick.

Xu Erlang held Changle in his arms, touched her soft little tug, and responded with a "good".

The maid brought the food over, Xu Erlang ate, and Jin Niang, Pian Pian and Changle continued to gossip beside them.

Suddenly, Jin Niang thought of something, so she turned her head and said to Xu Erlang, "I was only happy when you came back in a hurry yesterday, and I didn't tell you what happened at home during this period of time." ”

Xu Erlang said, "It's okay for you to say it now, I'll listen." ”

When Jin Niang heard this, she looked at Pian Pian and Chang Le, Pian Pian was interested, and knew that her sister-in-law was going to talk to her second brother about something that was inconvenient for them to listen to, so she coaxed Changle to leave.

Pian Pian has also seen her father's absurd nonsense over the years, she is a villain, running back and forth all day long, and she can't avoid hearing the discussions of people in the corners of the house, and knowing the two foolish things that her father has done in this month.

It's a pity that she is a daughter's family and a child, and her sister-in-law probably cares about her father's face, and she doesn't want her face to be damaged, so she wants to break her up. And Changle is still too young, and her sister-in-law is afraid that she is worried that she will say something she shouldn't say outside without knowing the seriousness, so she even asked her to take Changle away with her.

The two villains left, and Jin Niang and Xu Erlang said the two things that are important at the moment. One of them is naturally that Xu's father made a bet with others, betting 5,000 taels of silver, and betting that Xu Erlang would be in the middle of the game. Second, second......

"I know who my father is. I'm not surprised if he does anything ridiculous. There's nothing to hide, you name it. ”

In a few words, Jin Niang said that yesterday's Xu's father had a private meeting with the widow, and was caught by his son, and fled in a hurry, which startled San Lang's horse, and San Lang tried his best to restrain the horse in order to avoid Xu's father being trampled into a pulp, but he was accidentally thrown off by the horse and fractured.

The more Xu Erlang listened, the lower the air pressure on his body became, until he finally put down his chopsticks.

Jin Niang regretted, "Blame me for being too talkative, I should wait for you to finish eating." ”

"I don't blame you, it's because I've been running around for the past few days, and my appetite is not very good, so I eat less, and I'll use more at lunch."

After saying this, Xu Erlang got up and said, "Father and San Lang are in the front yard?" I'll take a look. ”

Jin Niang was worried that he would be angry and say some disobedient and unfilial words, which would make Xu's father embarrassed again, and the relationship between father and son would be rigid again, so she hurriedly said, "Don't go to the front yard to see your father and them, why don't you go to the backyard to see your mother?" Mother has been thinking about you all this time, because of your imperial examination, her old man chanted and prayed in the Buddhist hall all day long, ate vegetarian food, and prayed for the Buddha to give you a good future. In the past month, my mother has not rested well, and she has lost a lot of weight. Now that you have finished the exam, you should go and ask your mother to say goodbye first, by the way, you also comfort your mother, let her stop eating some cabbage and radish all day long, she is old, her body is not negligent, there is really a good one, that is the sin of our juniors. I tried to persuade my mother a few times, but she didn't listen, and you have to go over and persuade her. ”

The importance of Xu's father and mother in Xu Erlang's heart is self-evident, and Xu Erlang chose to visit his mother first as expected.

Jin Niang wanted to go along, but was stopped by Xu Erlang.

"You have a big belly and it's inconvenient, just rest in the house, I'll ask your mother for a good night."
