Chapter 536: The Beginning of the New Year
The light of the night pearl at the end of the bed was faint, Qu Xiaobai couldn't help laughing when he saw the unspeakable expression on Yang Ling's face, and threw a flattering look at him in a prodigal manner, saying, "I still like a fierce husband." If the time comes to feed myself into a little milk cat, I won't do it. ”
Yang Ling couldn't cry or laugh: "Are all the women there so direct?" ”
"That's not necessarily the case, maybe I'm more open-minded. But in general, there are fewer stereotypical women. ”
Yang Ling dotingly tugged her head into his arms and said softly, "Sleep." ”
"Hmm."
The next day, the new district started construction, and both of them had to go over to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony, but in the morning Qu Xiaobai overslept again, Yang Ling felt sorry for her, so he didn't wake her up, and when he left, he specially told Luoluo not to wake her up, if she woke up, don't let her go over again, just rest at home.
The snow stopped in the morning, but the snow fell a lot last night, and there was at least half a foot of snow on the ground, and the carriage couldn't go, so Yang Ling rode over.
After saying that, I went to the offering table and lit three incense sticks, bowed, inserted the incense in the incense burner, and personally lit the first string of firecrackers, and then handed over the firearms to Chen Xiang, told him a few words, and hurriedly rode back to the house.
When she came back, she saw that the door of the bedroom was still closed, and Luoluo was coming out of the kitchen, Yang Ling called her softly: "Is Madame still sleeping?" ”
Luoluo nodded, and whispered that she didn't dare to go over to disturb and had been asleep.
Yang Ling lightened his steps, walked to the door, pushed the door open more gently, entered the house, took off the clothes on his body, and roasted in front of the charcoal cage for a while, making sure that there was no cool air on his body, and then turned behind the screen.
Qu Xiaobai slept soundly, and his body was rolled up with the quilt again. Because she is a month old, not only do she often have leg cramps recently, but her stomach hurts when she sleeps on one side, so she always likes to use a quilt to cushion her stomach.
Yang Ling picked a cushion of moderate size and thickness on the soft couch, walked lightly to the bed, and wanted to replace the quilt with a soft cushion, as soon as he lowered his head, he saw that a piece of her snow-white belly exposed outside was drummed by the little guy inside, kicking and kicking for a while, and the belly bulged out a piece here and there, and sometimes the little guy would use his whole head to prop it out, so that Qu Xiaobai's belly bulged out a ball the size of a baby's head.
"Naughty." Yang Ling laughed helplessly, sat on the side of the bed, and pressed his palm against Qu Xiaobai's belly, trying to appease him, but the cub inside seemed to feel his hand, and made a lot of noise.
Yang Ling couldn't cry or laugh, so he put his cheek on her belly and whispered to his cub: "Mother wants to sleep, don't make trouble with mother, do you hear?" ”
The little cub seemed to understand, and moved a little lighter, Yang Ling kissed him against his belly, "This is good." ”
Qu Xiaobai suddenly said: "Be good, don't make trouble, otherwise let your father clean you up." ”
Yang Ling looked at her and found that her eyes were still closed and she was breathing for a long time. It turned out to be babbling.
Yang Ling smiled dumbly, lightly replaced the quilt with a soft cushion, and then crawled beside her to lie down, covered the quilt, reached out and hugged her in his arms.
Qu Xiaobai turned over and arched at him familiarly, like a sloth, and climbed him with his hands and feet.
Yang Ling looked at her with amusement and distress, feeling that her stomach was still restless against him, so she could continue to sleep, and she was really tired. I couldn't help but blame myself again, thinking that I must not be so tired of her today.
Afraid that she would not be able to sleep at night if she slept too much now, Yang Ling called her softly in her ear: "Xiaobai, is it okay to get up?" ”
Qu Xiaobai smacked his lips, as if he heard his words, but his body didn't move at all, "Hmm." Only a vague word was spitted out.
"I really can't sleep anymore, and I can't sleep at night if I sleep again." Yang Ling pinched her earlobe and called her softly.
Qu Xiaobai felt an itch in his earlobe, a series of things flashed in his mind, and he suddenly opened his eyes, "What time is it?" ”
"It's the right time."
Qu Xiaobai sat up and said in a daze: "It's over, I said that I would go to the groundbreaking ceremony today, it's too late, right?" ”
"It's really late, but I've already been there, and I lit a string of firecrackers on your behalf, so you don't have to worry."
"Oh, why didn't you wake me up?"
"Seeing that you are sleeping soundly, I am reluctant to call you."
Qu Xiaobai sat down and closed his eyes again, snorted twice, his head fell on Yang Ling's body, and after waking up for a while, he slowly raised his head again and said, "I'm fine, I can get up." ”
Yang Ling got up to help her get dressed, asked her a few words about how she felt now, and checked her pulse again, and only after making sure that she was in good health did he let her go to wash.
"I was so tired that I didn't take a shower last night, so I'll ask Luoluo to put me some hot water for a while, and I'll take a soak." Qu Xiaobai yawned, and was a little confused, and couldn't help complaining: "Why are you so tired when you are pregnant?" ”
Yang Ling said: "When this little cub is born, I will definitely clean him up!" ”
Qu Xiaobai glanced at him, "Your own son, you look at it." ”
"You don't have to protect him."
Qu Xiaobai's eyes blinked, don't protect him, okay? She really can't tell.
After washing up and eating breakfast, Yang Ling personally put hot water for her, waited for her to soak in a comfortable hot bath, helped her dry her body, put on her clothes, wiped the moisture on her hair little by little with a cotton towel, and finally even combed her with a simple bun with her own hands, took a hairpin for her to put in her hair, and cleaned it up, it was already noon.
The sun was shining brightly outside, reflecting the snow on the roof, reflecting a diamond-like glow.
But extremely cold. Even without a hint of wind, it makes people feel cold like a poisonous snake burrowing into the body.
Qu Xiaobai wore a thick fox fur and went for a walk in the yard with Yang Ling, the snow in the yard had been swept away, and there were not many maids, so it seemed that the yard was becoming more and more deserted.
Those few people close to Yang Ling were not there, Qu Xiaobai guessed that they had gone out to help the victims, but she still asked: "Qingjun, they all went to help the victims, right?" ”
"Hmm. Fortunately, the snow did not fall too much, but the weather was too cold, and many people in the suburbs of the county lacked food and clothing. Yang Ling's expression was faint, but a trace of compassion flashed in his eyes, and he did not hide Qu Xiaobai's eyes.
"It'll be fine later. When spring begins, the snow melts and you can sow seeds, and life will be better. ”
Qu Xiaobai looked at the snow on the mountains in the distance, thinking in his heart that in the new year, the mining was about to start, and the wasteland was already ready to be opened, just waiting for the snow to melt.
In previous years, it did not snow so late, and by the beginning of the first month, the temperature had begun to rise, and the snow could basically melt in early February. If you get it right, you can sow it. I don't know what the weather will be like in spring this year, and in an era when agriculture depends on the sky to eat, it is really impossible to make people.
After strolling around the yard for a while, basking in the sun for a while, the two went to the study.
Everything has to be done from scratch, and naturally you can't wait for the people below to do everything. Therefore, after four or five days of excitement, the Yang Mansion basically entered a busy state.
Qu Xiaobai wrote a detailed plan, according to the plan, first invited Mr. to the maids, taught them the rules at the same time, but also taught them literacy, girls will also learn some female popularity, boys look at their qualifications, or teach some kung fu or send them to learn various skills, iron smelting, carpentry, and even farming technicians, are all deliberately cultivated.
The gentlemen of the school also began to prepare for the New Year's enrollment plan, although the children have not yet started school, but the gentlemen have already arrived at the school early, prepare lesson plans, plan plans, Qu Xiaobai also went to give a lesson to the gentlemen in the sixth year of junior high school, popularized the all-round development and specialty training, teaching students according to their aptitude and other issues, by the way, also talked about science disciplines.
Yang Ling found some young talents for her from other places, all of them were young talents with active brains and not rigid and rotten, Qu Xiaobai arranged them all to live in Zhuangzi, and every day they would go to Yang's mansion, and Qu Xiaobai personally taught them scientific subjects. Physics, chemistry, biology, admittedly, some subjects, she is only an introductory level, so she had to copy the textbooks from Du Niang, and explore and study with everyone.
And many things, for this world, are too abstract, Qu Xiaobai had to delete them, and pick up some things that are easy for everyone to understand to copy and study. But even that is enough to make a huge difference in the world.
It is true that these people who will be Mr. in the future have signed confidentiality agreements, promising that what they learn here will not be leaked to anyone outside, and after they complete their studies, they will only teach students in Lingyun Academy.
Villain first and then gentleman, Qu Xiaobai is a person who does not believe in the inherent goodness of human nature, and neither is Yang Ling.
In fact, at the beginning, everyone saw that it was a girl who was only eighteen years old, and she was also a pregnant woman, and they were a little disdainful, but as soon as the connoisseur made a move, they knew if there was one, Qu Xiaobai not only did not disappoint them, but also slapped them in the face with his knowledge.
It is commendable that Yang Ling listened to every class and took detailed notes, and he became the most active one in class, he asked the most questions, did the best homework, and had the best academic performance.
After finishing these disciplines every day, he also had to deal with the problem of mining and iron smelting from the new area, the problem of disaster relief from Qingjun, and all kinds of unexpected problems.
Five days later, Qingjun brought back more than 100 children of the victims, some of whom had lost their parents and had no homes, and some of whom were sold directly because their families could not afford to support them, the eldest of these children was only eleven or twelve years old, and the younger ones were only three or four years old.
