Chapter 9: Birth

The most unforgiving thing in the world is time.

It doesn't matter if you are invincible heroes, or down-and-out and pitiful, whether you are red-faced or ordinary, they will all be buried in the long river of time.

Autumn in Little Dragon Town has passed.

The tree, which had previously withered a little from falling leaves, was covered with a thick layer of silver by the snow, and finally looked less cold.

If it had been this time of the year, the laughter of children would have already sounded in this somewhat quiet courtyard.

In a life of poverty, don't think about the joy that snow brings to children.

"Hey." What echoed under the eaves was Nie Niangzi's soft sigh, and she was not allowed to turn back, she had already been approved with a thick jacket, and she didn't have to look back Nie Niangzi knew that it was her father-in-law who put it on for herself.

The new jacket made this winter is very warm, the amount of cotton is full, and the face is also good.

Anyway, if you can't survive the spring, there is no point in saving it, and the rest of the time should be better for a few months, this is what Nie Dashi said.

"Why is the lady sighing?" After approving the jacket for Nie Niangzi, Nie Dashi stepped forward and held Nie Niangzi's hand. In a blink of an eye, he smiled again: "The snow is good today, why don't I rent a carriage and accompany you to East Lake?" The snow over there is good. ”

said that it would be a good few months, and Nie Dashi did it seriously.

After the eldest and the second child left, not only was she more relaxed in terms of food and clothing, but also took Nie Niangzi to many places, including the nearby big cities and nearby scenic places, all of which took her to play.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of considering that she was pregnant, Nie Dashi would still want to take her to the land of Jiangnan that she has always longed for in her lifetime.

"Xianggong, I'm a little tired, so I won't go today. You don't have to worry about me, just looking at the snow, I can't help but think about the eldest and the second, in the past, they should have been shouting to build a snowman. As she spoke, Nie Niangzi's eyes were faintly filled with tears.

She never reproached her husband for sending her two young children away on the basis of someone else's words, and she didn't know where they were sent.

Husband is her God!

Just as a mother, how can you not miss your children?

And her own death, Nie Niangzi didn't take it to heart, she had spent most of her life (the average life expectancy was about 50 years old at that time), husband and wife were loving, and the days were warm, what is there to regret?

In this regard, she and Nie Dashi thought the same.

Nie Niangzi's words also touched Nie Dashi's heart, where is there still the nature of play, but he just hugged Nie Niangzi in his arms and said softly: "Why don't I miss them?" I just remembered that they could enjoy the family of their parents for a few years, but the unborn child just wanted us to be happier, so that he in the womb could feel that this is all we can do as parents. ”

"Hmm." Nie Niangzi nodded lightly and took her husband's hand into the hut.

There were many needlework tools on the table in the room, and there were already some small tiger head hats, tiger head shoes, and some good and unfinished jackets, from small to old, she pointed to those things and said: "Xianggong, you see, we can do a lot of things, at least until the age of 5, the things we wear are not worried." A lot of them were changed by me from clothes that I couldn't wear, and they looked pretty good. ”

While speaking, Nie Niangzi's tone finally brought a little joy.

Nie Dashi's hand gently caressed the small objects, and he also felt some pleasure, at least they could do more.

Winter is often a long time for people.

On a cold day, even the air was filled with gloom.

The elderly hope to survive the winter, and in their eyes, as long as they survive the winter, most of them will be able to live a little longer.

Why is life suffering, and death is also mourning? But people are still struggling to live, even if it's just one more day.

Nie Dashi hopes that the winter will stay forever, and he can have more loving time with his wife, but no matter how long the winter is, it will always pass, when the snow melts, the stream thaws, and the tenacious shoots of life will drill out of the land.

Spring is inevitable.

Even after the Spring Festival, Xiaolong Town is still filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Spring represents life and always brings positive feelings to people's hearts.

Nie Niangzi's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and now when she does needlework, she often can't last half an hour, so she has to lie down and rest for a while, but she is always in a hurry.

Nie Dashi has already invited a 'stable wife' for the lady, who is a well-known mother-in-law in the town next door.

In this town, the nearest town is also a one-day carriage trip, which shows that Nie Dashi has put a lot of effort into it.

He knew that this son was extraordinary, and he was afraid that there would be a little accident. In addition, the biggest thought is to be able to do more things for the young son.

This afternoon, Nie Niangzi was in a hurry to work again, but her body was getting worse and worse, and she couldn't help leaning on the bed, even if the thick mattress was padded, she couldn't feel a little comfortable, after all, her belly was already very big.

"There's no need to rush anymore, just say it's okay to wear clothes until you are 5 or 6 years old, where can you wear it? Tomorrow Wen Po will come to our house to stay, but you are not allowed to rush to work anymore. Nie Dashi said with some reproach.

Nie Niangzi replied softly: "Not only 5 or 6 years old, but also 7 and 8 years old, if you have time, you even want to prepare a set of about 10 years old." At that age, a child knows how to be beautiful and ugly, and the one I sew for him is always better. ”

After saying this, Nie Niangzi looked at her husband with some concern: "Then the stable woman lives in our house?" ”

Nie Dashi knew her thoughts, and said, "Don't worry, I'll send it away as soon as I deliver the baby." ”

The town will suffer from demons, Nie Niangzi is kind-hearted and doesn't want to affect others.

While talking, the couple was silent for a while, thinking of the demon disaster, who wouldn't be preoccupied?

After being silent for a long time, Nie Niangzi spoke first: "Xianggong, I'm bored at home these days, why don't we go out for a walk?" ”

"It's okay, but you can't go too far, where does the lady want to go?" Nedas had no reason to refuse.

"Just walk around town, right? If you can, I'd like to go to the city gate. Nie Niangzi thought for a moment and said.

Even if it is spring, it is inevitable that the spring is cold, and Nie Dashi carefully wore layer after layer for his mother, so he didn't feel at ease to help her go out.

That errand has already been resigned, and there are not many days left, Nie Dashi doesn't want to be entangled in mundane affairs, as for the shop, it has long been closed, and it has not been transferred to others, Nie Dashi doesn't want to 'trap' people.

The external statement is simple, saying that after the spring, they will go to relatives and send their children over first.

Walking in Xiaolong Town in spring, the mood of the husband and wife is full of emotion, this familiar town has lived for more than three years, and almost every street has memories.

Every neighbor who greets you along the way, why isn't it kind?

It's just that this qiΔ“ will disappear in a short time, and even if it is fate, it is embarrassing.

With this complicated mood, the husband and wife finally came to the gate of the city, and today Nie Niangzi's body seems to be exceptionally good.

Standing in the same position, Nie Niangzi leaned on Nie Dashi and asked, "Xianggong, do you remember three years ago?" It's in this place that you look at the gate and say, 'This is it.'" ”

"How come I don't remember? It was snowing heavily that day, you held the boss, and I held the second child. Before, I had been on the road for half a month. "How could Nie Dashi forget the day when Jì decided his fate.

"Xianggong, you say, if you don't choose here that day, what will happen to us? Will there still be a child in this womb? "Nie Niangzi has always wanted to ask this question.

"I don't know. But if there is a real life, wherever you go, what should happen will also happen, right? Do you regret it, or do you blame me? Nie Dashi asked with a little hesitation.

"As long as you are with Xianggong, there are no regrets. Besides, there will be no real blame between me and you. Nie Niangzi clenched Nie Dashi's hand.

Nie Dashi felt in his heart that he let the lady lean into his arms, speechless for a while.

After a while, I suddenly heard Nie Niangzi whispering: "Xianggong, I miss home." ”

"You mean our hometown?" Nie Dashi's heart moved, and suddenly there was some regret, no one wanted to be buried in a foreign country, but the village where he had lived for so long was destined to not return.

Originally, I thought that when I got old, I would go back anyway.

Thinking that if possible, let the heir bury himself and his wife there!

Thinking of this, Nie Dashi finally couldn't help the sadness in his heart, but the lady didn't respond for a long time, and turned his head, only to find that the lady's face was pale and terrible.

"Lady!" Nie Dashi couldn't help but get nervous.

Nie Niangzi covered her stomach and glanced at Nie Dashi, and said, "Suddenly I feel like I'm going to give birth." ”

"What?"

――――――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――――――

A day later.

Nie Dashi looked at the thin child in the swaddling clothes on the bed, and he couldn't have imagined that his wife, who had always been like a stable child, could give birth to him almost half a month in advance?

Even the stable woman I invited just in case was useless, and I had to drag someone to the ward and lose some fixed money.

"My son is very well-behaved, isn't he?" After Nie Niangzi gave birth, her face was a little pale, but when she looked at the little baby on the bed, her eyes couldn't help but be full of love.

"Very well-behaved." Nie Dashi's fingers gently brushed the child's delicate face, and this sentence came from the heart.

The whole production process was unusually smooth, and even the Wen Po invited in the town did not arrive, and the child was already born smoothly, which was a situation that had never been seen before when Nie Niangzi gave birth.

And except for a few cries at birth, the child ate some goat's milk and fell asleep quietly, which was very worry-free.

Looking at him gently, Nie Dashi felt more and more that this kid should be very extraordinary except for being a little thin.

Children can't see their looks, but they can also see some outlines.

The child's eyebrows were very long, and he flew straight towards his sideburns, and at first glance, he had an aura of not being angry and arrogant.

The eyes are occasionally opened, black and white, without the fog of ordinary babies, and there is a feeling of intelligence and sharpness.

The small bridge of the nose can be seen to be very straight, like a lone peak standing upright.

It's that the lips are a little thin and tight, and from the face of the old people's legends, such a lip shape is a little 'lonely'.

Looking at it, Nie Dashi couldn't take his eyes off it, and couldn't help but say, "I really want to spend a few more days with him." Lady, you say, he came early, isn't our town? ”

Nie Niangzi covered Nie Dashi's mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I have a feeling that he came early just to accompany us for a few more days." ”
