Chapter 42 (1)

When Hetu came back, Cheng Jiahua was still trapped in memories. He frowned tightly, thinking back to the scene when Jiajia left, and the whole family was surrounded by rumors all over the city. His train of thought was interrupted by the sound of Hetu lifting the curtain, and he turned his head to look at her, feeling a little confused. It wasn't until he sat down at the table and began to eat that he remembered that he hadn't eaten two bites of breakfast. He picked up the bowl and saw that Hedi's face was full of joy, and his expression was very different from usual, so he couldn't help asking, "What?" Did anything good happen? ”

He Tu glanced up at him, smiled coquettishly, and did not speak. Of course, there are good things, that is, she can go to her sister's house to see her sister today, this incident makes her feel happier than anything else, and it is also because she is so happy that she didn't notice Cheng Jiahua's gloomy face and the hazy tears in the corners of his eyes. She finished her meal in two bites and asked, "Have you finished eating?" ”

Cheng Jiahua really didn't have much appetite to eat, he put down the bowl, nodded, and Hetu cleaned up and prepared to start brushing the pot and washing the dishes.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Cheng Jiahua stood up, looked at her sharp movements, and asked puzzledly.

"I'm going to my sister's house later, and I can't cook lunch, so you can eat in my mother's room." He Tu laughed and didn't look back.

"What are you doing at your sister's house?" Cheng Jiahua frowned, he was in a good mood today and wanted to take He Tu and Cheng Yan to the market.

He Tu turned his head to look at him in surprise and said, "Didn't I tell you several times?" My sister is about to give birth, and I'm going to see her. ”

"Your sister is pregnant again?" Cheng Jiahua thought about it for a while, and it seemed that Hetu had indeed said it to himself, but he didn't pay attention to anything unimportant, so he quickly forgot about it.

He Tu snorted and said angrily: "Anyway, you don't care about my family's affairs, and you don't care about it." ”

Cheng Jiahua sighed and said, "Since your sister is about to give birth, why don't I go with you to see her." ”

"Okay." He Tu rolled his eyes, shook the water droplets on his hand, and said, "Anyway, Jiayi will follow, and when the time comes, your eldest brother will look at this younger sister, and I will save some trouble." ”

"Jiayi?" Cheng Jiahua looked at He Tu in surprise, "What is she going to do?" Didn't you two get into a fight before? ”

He Tu glanced back at him and sneered, "It seems that you don't care about the affairs of this family, unless someone dies, you don't care, right?" ”

This sentence just hit Cheng Jiahua's heart just now, he lowered his head sullenly and said nothing. But he didn't realize it, he was still immersed in his own little world, and when he finished sweeping the floor, he wiped his hands on his apron, ready to go. Seeing that she was leaving, Cheng Jiahua also stood up and let out a long sigh, thinking that maybe going outside for a walk would make her mood more comfortable. With this thought, he followed Hedi back to the bedroom, changed his clothes, and the two handed Cheng Yan over to Mu Shi to take care of, and called Jiayi to go out.

Because Hexin's delivery date was approaching, Liu Ji asked for leave from the unit and took care of him at home. Originally, Cuiying said that she was coming, but she didn't expect that there was a heavy snowfall in her hometown in the past two days, which blocked the road, and the car didn't pass, so she couldn't come over in time, so she had to make a phone call every day and keep asking about Hexin's current situation. Although Hexin was moved, she also felt that she couldn't cry or laugh, after all, she had already given birth to a child, and she would not be so flustered compared to the experience when she was born, but her mother's concern for a phone call on this day made her feel as if she was giving birth to a child for the first time. Coupled with Liu Ji's surprisingly thoughtful performance in the past few days, she felt even more surprised and delighted, he had never been like this before. Because of these things, her mood will not be very bad, and smiling every day is also a great benefit to production. Both of them were fully prepared and waited for the little guy in their stomachs to croak.

When He Tu and Cheng Jiahua knocked on the door, the two of them were sitting on the chairs in the dining room eating slowly, when they heard the knock, He Xin got up and was about to open the door, Liu Ji stood up first, pressed her shoulder, and whispered, "I'll go open it." Hexin looked at him flattered, and when she saw that his expression was indifferent, she nodded. Liu Ji walked out of the yard, and a cold wind rushed towards him, and he couldn't help but wrap his clothes tightly.

The iron door was opened with a bang, and Liu Ji saw the three people in front of him, he still recognized it, but the other two didn't, and he couldn't help but show a puzzled expression. Seeing that it was his brother-in-law, He Tu hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, I'll come to see my sister." Seeing the puzzled look on his brother-in-law's face for a while, he introduced again, "This is Cheng Jiahua, my husband, this is my sister-in-law, Cheng Jiayi." ”

Liu Ji nodded suddenly, and hurriedly made a gesture of invitation, Cheng Jiayi waved his hand, turned his head and said to his brother and sister-in-law: "Go ahead, I'll go to find my third sister-in-law." ”

"What third sister-in-law?" Cheng Jiahua heard this title for the first time and couldn't help but be surprised. He Tu hurriedly smiled: "Go, go, go." She didn't want to waste this rare time talking to her sister-in-law, so she turned to the side and entered the door. Cheng Jiahua said a few more words to Cheng Jiayi, and then followed Hetu in.

When the warm curtain was lifted, the cold air was suddenly isolated outside, and a warm air flow rushed up. He Tu took off his coat, greeted his sister, looked at his sister's appearance carefully, and asked, "You haven't felt uncomfortable in the past two days, have you?" ”

"No, no, okay!" Seeing that it was her sister who came, Hexin was so happy that she wanted to push away the chair and stand up with a big belly, but was hurriedly stopped by Hexin. While holding her sister's shoulder, she said with concern: "Don't stand up, be careful to touch your stomach." ”

"Ouch, it's fine." Hexin looked at her sister helplessly, "I'm the second child, how can I touch it so easily." You and Mom, you're just too worried. ”

"How can you not worry about this?" He Tu asked his brother-in-law to sit down, and he also sat down at the bottom of the dinner table, "It's winter again, it's so cold, it's really going to be smooth." ”

After saying the kind words of the meeting, Hetu pulled Cheng Jiahua again and introduced his sister. He Xin had also seen him, but when he looked at it, he felt that he was not as energetic as before, and he didn't know if it was his own delusion. She smiled and asked about the situation at his house, and politely greeted Cheng Tielong and Mu Shi, Liu Ji pushed away the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and asked Cheng Jiahua to sit in the study, so that the two sisters could chat. He Tu squinted at his brother-in-law taking Cheng Jiahua into the study, and said with a smile and in a low voice: "Brother-in-law looks very considerate. ”

Hexin couldn't help blushing, she glanced at her sister, lowered her head and smiled without speaking.

"What, are you still shy?" He Tu looked at his sister's appearance, but felt very novel, "You are both old husbands and wives, why do you still be shy when I say such a sentence?" ”

"Tell the truth." Hexin glanced at the study and said with a smile, "I also think that he is not considerate these days, and I am a little uncomfortable." ”

"That's a good thing." Hetu cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, "It means that he cares about you." ”

"You listen to your tone as if the one in your family doesn't do that to you." Hexin stood up and followed her sister into the kitchen with the dishes and chopsticks, leaning aside and watching her wash the dishes.

"Sister, you're right, he did this to me." He Tu glanced at his sister and pouted, "Although my brother-in-law is usually cold, I really look like a responsible person who will put people on the tip of my heart, unlike some people, who look very fond of you on the surface, but in fact, I don't know what the hell to do in my heart." ”

"How?" Hexin listened to her sister's tone and felt weird, "Are they treating you badly?" ”

He Tu opened her mouth and wanted to tell her sister all the grievances she had suffered, but suddenly saw her sister standing on the side with her waist struggling, and her desire to talk disappeared immediately, but she just pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "It's nothing." ”

He Xin smiled and said, "I know you, you have a big temper, you are not convinced, and you are so strong, you can't be angry when others say a little bit about you." Now that you're an adult, you have to change your temper, we all let you at home, it's no better outside than at home, who will love you except yourself? As she was talking, she suddenly groaned, one hand tightly covered her stomach, Hetu was so frightened that she couldn't do it, threw down the rag in her hand and asked repeatedly, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? Does it feel like you're going to give birth? Saying that, she was about to turn around and run out to call someone, but was pulled by Hexin, she shook her head with a smile, and said, "It's okay, this little guy kicked me, probably thinking that he was about to come out, and he was happy inside." ”

He Tu breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to his sister's stomach and pretended to be angry and scolded: "You disobedient, dare to kick your mother, be careful that I will spank you when you come out!" The two of you and I were in harmony with each other, and the kitchen was full of laughter and laughter, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

But in the study over there, the atmosphere is not very good.

Liu Ji originally wanted to have a good chat with Cheng Jiahua, thinking that everyone is a man, and the topics they like should not be much different. He likes to watch the news on weekdays, and is more concerned about some major events in the economic and financial fields, after letting Cheng Jiahua sit down, he thought that as the host, how to start a topic first, so as not to make the atmosphere so embarrassing, he picked a recent news and current affairs, and expressed his opinion, at the end, he touched his chin, and felt very satisfied with his speech, so he asked Cheng Jiahua rhetorically, and asked Cheng Jiahua to also talk about his opinion. Unexpectedly, Cheng Jiahua was not interested in this aspect at all, when he heard Liu Ji say, he felt quite bored, look here, look there, and didn't listen to a word, at this time his brother-in-law suddenly turned around and asked him, where did he answer, so he had to talk about him left and right, stumbling, and couldn't say a complete sentence. Liu Ji frowned, and his interest in chatting was suddenly gone, but the two big men couldn't sit here and talk nothing, so they had to ask, "Then what do you like to do usually?" ”

Cheng Jiahua's eyes lit up, and he wanted to ask his brother-in-law if he could play cards. But looking at my brother-in-law's serious and cold look, he didn't seem to be a person who liked this kind of pastime, so he temporarily held back his words, just shook his head, and said with a smile: "I don't like to do anything." ”

The atmosphere really cooled down. Liu Ji turned around and knelt on the desk to deal with business, and never looked back at Cheng Jiahua, Cheng Jiahua was bored sitting and felt inappropriate when he stood up and walked, and was in a dilemma, when he suddenly heard a commotion from the kitchen, he hurriedly stood up and said: "I'll go out and take a look, I'm afraid that Hetu has broken something." ”

Liu Ji didn't nod or shake his head, as if he hadn't heard what he said. Cheng Jiahua felt bored on his face, so he turned around and went out, walked to the kitchen door, he heard the laughter of the two sisters talking inside, and felt very tasteless in his heart, it was better to go to the mahjong parlor, it was really boring here, thinking so, he went back to the sofa in the living room and sat down, supported his knees with one arm, put his chin on it, and began to swim.

After washing the dishes, Hedi helped Hexin out, and the two of them returned to the living room, and couldn't help but be surprised to see Cheng Jiahua sitting on the sofa alone. He Xin glanced at the study and asked, "Where is your brother-in-law?" How do you sit here alone? ”

Cheng Jiahua heard the sound, hurriedly raised his head, got up and let Hexin sit down, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law is reading a book inside." ”

Hexin said "oh", sat down, and said with a smile: "Don't care, your brother-in-law is a little colder, if there is anything that snubs you, don't be angry." ”

"It's okay!" He Tu hurriedly said, "There's nothing to be angry about, since my brother-in-law has something to do, don't bother him." As she spoke, she glanced at Cheng Jiahua with slanted eyes and dissatisfaction. Cheng Jiahua didn't know what he had done wrong, so he provoked her again, pursed his mouth, lowered his head, and continued to swim.

The two talked for a long time, and the topic shifted from having a child to parents, and then from parents to hometown. Speaking of snow in his hometown, He Tu smiled and said: "We don't snow here, you don't know, Xiao Yan talks about seeing snow every day, but this god just doesn't snow, it seems that the snow has fallen to us." ”

"Xiao Yan can speak?" Hexin asked.

"Yes, although there are only a few words, but I can basically hear the meaning." As he spoke, He Tu learned from Cheng Yan, stretched out a finger to the window, and stumbled and said, "Snow, snow, look at the snow." ”

Hexin snorted, pulled down Hexin's arm, and said with a smile: "Why didn't you bring her this time, I haven't seen her for a long time, I really want to." ”

"Next time, I will definitely bring it, let her see this new little brother." He Tu touched Hexin's belly, and suddenly saw Ke Yi walking out with a shake on the door of the study, and hurriedly called, "Ouch, don't fall!" ”

Ke Yi is three years old, white and tender, and his figure is half a head taller than children of the same age. I saw him look at the two strangers in front of him with big curious eyes, and stretched out a hand to point at them, and he didn't know what he was talking about. He Di squatted down beside him, held his waist, turned his head and smiled at his sister: "Look at the expression on Keyi's face, it's just like my brother-in-law." ”

"Can it not be the same?" He Xin smiled, "It's like learning from your brother-in-law on weekdays." She held on to the armrest of the sofa and was about to stand up, but when Yi saw it, she hurriedly shook her head, opened her small mouth that had not yet grown her teeth, and shouted in a milky voice: "Mother, brother, don't!" ”

He Tu glanced at his sister puzzled, not knowing what the little guy was expressing. Hexin laughed when she heard this, sat back down, and explained to her sister: "This is telling me that I have a younger brother in my belly, don't let me stand up, let me sit and rest." ”

He Tu looked at Keyi in surprise, and saw that the expression on his face was very serious, but it really seemed like what his sister said, and he couldn't help laughing: "He is so young, can he understand so much?" ”

"Who knows." He Xin smiled, "Maybe he is still young, but he can see what we can't see, but this is not necessarily." ”

"Sister, what you said is terrible." He picked up Keyi, walked to the sofa and sat down. Ke Yi hurriedly ran to his mother's side, snuggled tightly on her lap, and still looked at Hetu and Cheng Jiahua curiously.

He was about to say something, but he heard a violent knock at the door, which startled everyone. Hexin turned her head to look out the window, frowned suspiciously, and said, "Who is knocking on the door at this time?" ”
