Chapter 8 Childhood
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year again, and the air was filled with the smell of firecrackers and sacrifices. The Han family's compound was lit up everywhere and was festive, and everyone had a festive smile on their faces. The people are busy all day long, some are preparing New Year's goods, some are preparing to sacrifice three animals, and some are preparing fireworks. Despite the noise, the backyard of the mansion remained quiet as usual, because Qi Peiyun was pregnant, no one dared to make a loud noise here, even Han Tianxiang was no exception, and was led to play elsewhere by the subordinates. According to the time, Qi Peiyun's day of giving birth is in the days before and after the New Year, and on this special day, the most important thing is to have a safe birth, and everything else is in the back row. Only Han Yuanshan and a few personal maids would see Qi Peiyun. At this time, Qi Peiyun was full of pregnancy, her high bulging abdomen looked very bloated under the wide robe, and when she looked at her back from a distance, it looked like a walking water tank.
At three o'clock in the sun, Qi Peiyun woke up from her sleep, she has been a little sleepy recently, as if she didn't sleep enough all day, and the experienced mothers in the family said that this is a sign of being pregnant with a boy. But Qi Peiyun hopes to be a girl, she likes girls very much, ties a bow for her, puts on floral clothes, and jumps so cute. When asked about Han Yuanshan, he just smiled and said: He likes both boys and girls, and his children come to him, which is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes, there is no need to choose, and there is no need to deliberately care.
The New Year of the old calendar passed quickly, and this day was the Lantern Festival of the lunar calendar. In the evening, the people who had eaten dinner were resting in their respective rooms, Qi Peiyun had no appetite, and besides, he had reacted so badly in the past few days that he couldn't eat at all. Just when she wanted to take a small piece of Lantern Festival handed over by the maid, a sharp pain suddenly came from her abdomen, she knew that this time she was really going to give birth, and hurriedly ordered the maid to call the young master and the midwife. The whole backyard was suddenly busy, and people were busy shuttling back and forth, preparing all kinds of items for childbirth. Not long after, the two midwives came to the backyard, and Han Yuanshan followed with a nervous expression. For a woman, the process of childbirth is to wander outside the ghost gate, one foot in the door and one foot outside the door, once something goes wrong, it is likely to be the line between life and death.
Qi Peiyun's shouts came from time to time in the house, and the two midwives also did their best to help deliver the babies on the side. Outside the house, Han Yuanshan was pacing back and forth in the yard, very nervous. Several times when he heard Qi Peiyun's painful voice, he wanted to rush in, but reason still prevailed over impulse, even if he went in at this time, what could he help, wouldn't it add to the chaos. The whole delivery process lasted for about an hour, and finally there was a cry of a baby in the house, and it was finally born, and Han Yuanshan's hanging heart settled down a little. Soon, the midwife came out with a smile on her face and said, "Congratulations to Young Master Han, congratulations to Young Master Han, Mrs. Zun has given birth to another son! Now the mother and child are safe!" "Ah, really, it's great, I have another son------!"
Winter goes to spring, cold comes and summer. Many years have passed. The outside world has also undergone earth-shaking changes, with wars and dynasties. When the dust settled, Han Yuanshan saw an opportunity to go out again to run his overseas trade, and it didn't take long for him to become one of the richest businessmen again.
The Han family's mansion was not affected by the war and was well preserved. In the backyard of the mansion, two children of the same age are fighting over a toy. The older one is Han Tianxiang, and the smaller one is naturally his younger brother Han Tianqi. It's strange to say, almost every time these two children fight, Han Tianqi wins in the end. Although Han Tianxiang is taller than his younger brother, his younger brother's body is obviously stronger, so after a quarrel, almost every time Han Tianxiang runs in front, Han Tianqi chases behind, and runs all over the yard. Whenever this happens, if Han Yuanshan sees it, he will shout loudly, "Tianxiang, you are still an elder brother, you can't even beat your younger brother, you are sad for me." "Hey, are you such a father, what did you say? You don't persuade the two children to get along well, but you are picky and pouting, what do you mean, are you very excited and happy to see the two children fighting?" Qi Peiyun said very unhappily. "I didn't mean that, I saw that the eldest of our family was too cowardly, not like the second child. This kind of character will suffer in adulthood, no matter who you are, who has great strength, who has the ability and strength, who has the right to speak, and who has persuasiveness. If you are cowardly like the boss at every turn, then how can it be! In society, you will have to suffer a loss, and you will survive very well!" "That's easy to do, as long as the two of them hug each other and take care of each other, see who dares to bully them?" "Although I said that, but you see that the second child, who has been so unruly since he was a child, I am afraid that he will bully the boss to death." "Look at what you say, could it be that this second child is a monster, and he can still eat the boss?" Han Yuanshan replied curtly, "That's not it, after all, it's a brother, I just hate iron and steel, in fact, to be honest, I'm very optimistic about our second child, and I have the courage of a man." You can't be wrong in the future, it's a man. This sentence sounded very pertinent to Qi Peiyun.
In the afternoon, the two brothers were playing in the backyard. Han Yuanshan walked in from the outside, followed by two people, a man in his thirties and a little girl who looked like she was in her teens. The three of them walked to the backyard, Han Yuanshan called the two children over and said, "Tianxiang, Tianqi come here, Dad will introduce you to a little friend, this is Qin Ning of the Qin family, you can play together in the future!" Hearing the sound outside the house, Qi Peiyun walked out of the house, and at a glance saw Qin Ning hiding behind the adults and looking around. I saw that this child had a pair of big black eyes, a high nose bridge, and a handsome face, which was very attractive, and she immediately liked this little girl. Hurriedly asked, "Whose little beauty is this, she looks so beautiful!" Han Yuanshan hurriedly said, "Come, I'll introduce you," and then pointed to the man next to him, "Peiyun, this is a good buddy of mine, called Qin Feng." We used to cooperate in business, and recently we plan to settle down near our house, no, this is his family's little daughter Qin Ning, and she doesn't have a playmate when she first arrives, so I brought her here, and our two children are also a companion!"
Qin Feng stepped forward very politely and said, "I've seen my sister-in-law, I've caused you trouble." We don't usually have time to take care of the children, the child's mother is in very poor health, and the child is so old, so we can't always stay at home and play alone! "No trouble, no trouble, what Brother Qin said, this will be neighbors from now on, and everyone will often come and go and walk around." Another day, I'll go to see my brother and sister again with Yuanshan, I know a few old Chinese medicine doctors, if you can trust me, I can introduce you to them. This disease can be treated as soon as possible, and it must not be delayed, and it is better to take advantage of it as soon as possible. "Yes, yes, yes, let my sister-in-law bother, I will invite you and my wife to my house another day, I will thank the child's mother first!"
The adults were talking on the side, and the little brothers pulled Xiao Qinning to the side to play, and thus began their childhood life. On weekdays, the little ones almost always play together except for school time. Han Tianxiang and Qin Ning are of the same age and go to school in the same grade, Han Tianqi is two years younger than them, two grades lower, but they are both in the same school. The three of them go in and out of school together, and gradually several people get along more and more harmoniously, and those who don't know think that these children are a family!
Usually Han Tianqi gets out of school first, and he doesn't go home, just waiting for his brother and Qin Ning at school, and the three of them have already made an appointment to go home together. Among the three, Qin Ning's academic performance was the best, and Han Tianxiang was slightly worse. Only Han Tianqi is the most headache, it stands to reason that his grades should be the best among the three, even the teacher said that Han Tianqi is very smart, but he refuses to work and study, and his energy is used to play. After school, everyone else writes their homework first, but he is good and plays with his schoolbag. For this reason, he was disciplined by Qi Peiyun a lot, and the pain of skin and flesh was naturally indispensable. But this guy is very skinny, purely a pig--- he doesn't remember to eat or fight. Over time, Qi Peiyun didn't bother to care about him, as long as he didn't go out to make trouble, he would be Amitabha. In this way, several friends grew up happily until they all went to middle school.
When you enter puberty, your body changes a lot. Especially Qin Ning is becoming more and more smart, it seems that she has inherited more genes from her mother, and gradually became a recognized school flower in the school, causing some boys to whistle every time they see her. For these people, Qin Ning didn't bother to look at them, in her opinion, these people were simply naïve, how could they be like his Tianxiang brother, mature and steady, giving people a very safe feeling. Whenever she thinks of this, the girl's heart can't help but pound, and she can't tell what the hell is going on, in short, she only has his Tianxiang brother in her heart.
