Night.

When the pond was entangled, Xi Dazhuang held her slender waist and sighed helplessly: "Daughter-in-law, my husband knows that you are reluctant to be a husband, but your body can't stand it, so you don't want it tonight, okay?" ”

For the past few days, every night, the brook will haunt him.

Said that it would take more effort to conceive a child.

Some time ago, he really wanted to have a child with his daughter-in-law, but now that he is leaving, he doesn't want his daughter-in-law to suffer from pregnancy alone when he can't be with her.

Chi Xi's arms tightly wrapped around Xi's strong neck, leaning in and pecking him on the cheek and chin in a delicate and dense manner.

She said in a low voice: "If you don't go too far, you'll be fine, good husband, you're leaving, are you sure you don't leave anything to me?" If I can really conceive a child, I will always remember you and have a thought. If you pat your ass and walk away, but I have nothing, it will be difficult in the dead of night. ”

Xi Dazhuang reluctantly turned his head, and rolled his Adam's apple up and down, trying his best to restrain the warm emotions surging in his chest.

He said in a hoarse voice: "It is precisely because my husband is leaving that I dare not let you get pregnant." Xiaoxi, I don't know if you already have our child in your belly now, but I really can't let you suffer and suffer with a child alone while I'm not by your side. ”

"I don't want to be your fetters, I just want to be your harbor."

Chi Xi sighed lightly, leaned over, laughed stupidly, and said with a serious expression: "Xianggong! Have you ever heard a saying that motherhood is strong? If you're not with me, I'll be thinking about you all the time, thinking about how you're doing, whether you're hurt outside, and how long it will take to get back to me. But if I have a child, I can still distract myself, and no matter how hard I wait, it will become much easier. ”

"Is this what you really think?"

Xi Dazhuang raised his hand and touched Chixi's head, lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, took a deep breath and made a compromise: "If you really think like this, you will be your husband." If you feel unwell, you must tell your husband. ”

Chi Xi hooked his lips and smiled, and nodded with crooked eyebrows: "Okay." ”

The separation came unexpectedly.

Pond Creek didn't deliberately count the days.

But suddenly, one day, when she woke up, Xi Dazhuang, who would sleep with her until she woke up, was no longer around.

Her heart throbbed, flooding with a fine, dense tingle that made her almost out of breath.

But she didn't lie in bed, but got up and dressed very calmly, she opened the door and walked out, and saw Tian Cuihe cleaning up the yard.

"Mother, I'll clean up the yard later, eat breakfast first and then get busy!"

Tian Cuihe paused, turned his head to look at Chixi, and said in a daze: "Oh, okay, I know." ”

Chi Xi noticed that her eyes were red, as if she had cried, she pursed her lips, didn't ask much, and turned to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Smoke rises.

In the distance, the mountains were covered with a layer of white frost, and a cold wind blew, and the pond shivered before he realized that he had closed the window.

She turned her head and saw Tian Cuihe sitting on the stool in a daze, her expression sad, and her eyes flashed with water.

Chi Xi put the freshly cooked porridge on the table, and after a moment of silence, he whispered, "Mother, the porridge should be eaten while it is hot, otherwise it will be cold in a while." ”

"Hey, okay."

Tian Cuihe reacted after a while, hurriedly turned his head to wipe his tears, and laughed at the corners of his mouth: "I don't know why today, this eye is always uncomfortable, if it is not good in a few days, I have to go to Shilangzhong to take a look." ”

Chi Xi pursed his lips, raised his eyes and looked at Tian Cuihe seriously, and said in a loud voice: "Mother, Brother Zhuang is gone, I'm still here." He is going to do what he thinks must be done, and we can stay here and live a good life so that he can have no worries. ”

This truth is easy to understand, how can Tian Cuihe not know?

She's just a little reluctant to give up her son.

When her husband led the army to defend against foreign enemies, he was slandered and committed treason, and he died without a body.

Her eldest son and second son were ambitious and heroic, loyal and patriotic, but they were killed in the wilderness by the young.

Her daughter, no matter how innocent, still inevitably died tragically.

Now she only has her youngest son left, and sending her youngest son away this time is like cutting off half of her heart, and no one knows how much pain she really has.

During this time, she couldn't sleep all night.

As soon as she closed her eyes, all that flashed in her mind were the tragic deaths of her husband, eldest son and second son, and the daughter who cried desperately in her arms.

"Xiaoxi, my mother knows."

She knew it, she just couldn't control her fear and sadness.

Chi Xi raised his hand to hold Tian Cuihe's trembling hand, patted it gently, and said in a low voice: "Mother, he promised me that I would definitely come back with all my beards and tails, and we have to believe him." ”

Tian Cuihe's eyes rolled slowly, her little hand holding Chixi seemed to hold the last warmth, she nodded in response: "That's right, we have to live a good life, we have to believe him!" ”

Chixi doesn't see any mood swings during the day, but his eyes are always wet when he sleeps alone at night, and sometimes he wakes up in a dream to find that he has burst into tears.

Xiao Ling was very worried about her: "Master, you have a lot of mood swings during this time, if you are pregnant with a child, it will affect the child's health." ”

Chi Xi was stunned for a long time before she realized what Xiao Ling said, and her eyes lit up: "Xiao Ling, what do you mean by this?" I'm pregnant, am I? ”

Xiao Ling hesitated: "Master, I just reminded you that there is such a possibility, but I didn't say that you are pregnant, don't misunderstand what I mean." ”

"No, I'm just pregnant!"

Chi Xi was unusually determined: "You never talk nonsense, if you say that, it proves that this child is still here after all." ”

Chi Xi's pregnancy was found out three days later, Shi Langzhong looked at Chi Xi with a complicated expression: "You are in good health now, the child has been more than a month, congratulations, you are going to be a mother." ”

Chi Xi's eyes, which had been dimmed for a long time, finally regained their brilliance, and she raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Yes! I'm going to be a mother. ”

This kid is here after all.

Shi Langzhong left after a few words, Tian Cuihe was still a little unable to come back to his senses, looked at Chixi with a smile on his face, and then looked at Chixi's flat abdomen, and muttered: "Xiaoxi, did you hear it right?" But Shi Langzhong said that you are pregnant? ”

"Mother, you heard it right, I am indeed pregnant, and the child has been more than a month."

Chi Xi's eyes became very soft, she took Tian Cuihe's hand and put it on her lower abdomen, and said with a low smile: "Mother, it's amazing, isn't it?" In my belly, I have a big strong brother's child. ”

"Well, it's amazing."

Tian Cuihe nodded with a complicated expression, crying and laughing: "We are looking forward to the stars and the moon, and we finally hope for the child, but Da Zhuang is not by our side." I don't know if God saw that our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were pitiful, and specially sent a child to comfort us. ”

"It should be yes, the eldest brother is not around, God will send a child over, let my mother take good care of this child with me, and watch this child grow up slowly."

Tian Cuihe nodded again and again, and the sad face of the past few days instantly turned into firm and serious: "Xiaoxi, I have given birth to four children, and I have experience, if you have any discomfort, you have to tell me." You can't work too hard anymore, you can't do heavy work, your only goal now is to take care of the baby and give birth to this child! ”

Chixi couldn't cry or laugh: "Mother, it's not so exaggerated, although I'm pregnant, I still have to do the work, otherwise I won't be idle." But I promise you, I will never touch the heavy work! ”

"Okay."

Chi Xi's pregnancy, except for Shi Langzhong, only their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law know.

Chi Xi didn't want to cause more trouble for the time being, so he whispered: "Mother, I can't tell anyone about the pregnancy for the time being, and I'll talk about it when I'm older." ”

Tian Cuihe understood this rule, and said with a smile: "Okay, if you don't say it, don't say it, you pay more attention to yourself." ”

The days went by day by day.

The day has finally come for the sale of green tiles.

Before dawn, the door of Xi's house was crowded with people, some came to buy green tiles, and some came to join in the fun.

Chixi was forced to get up early, and she was not ambiguous, and after washing up, she didn't eat breakfast, so she led everyone to the tile kiln.
