Afraid that the man in black might have a fever at night, I pried open his mouth and gave him an antipyretic and anti-inflammatory medicine. The whole action had nothing to do with gentleness.
She was afraid that the man in black would wake up at night and ask for water, so she took a jar from the space and boiled some water for later use.
Ji Qingyao sighed that she really had the potential to be a mother, and this day was truly unique.
The man in black woke up in the middle of the night, and by the light of the fire he easily caught the familiar figure.
The girl's sweet sleeping face took on a different kind of beauty under the firelight. His heart had never been so satisfied as it was now. If any villager from Xiaoxi Village appeared in the cave, they would definitely recognize the man in front of him. It was Pei Yunshan who had not been heard from since joining the army a few years ago. Pei Mingche was the name he took after he broke off his relationship with the Pei family.
Pei Mingche's mother fell ill and died when he was three years old. They say that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. This is no exaggeration at all when applied to Pei Mingche.
Pei Mingche's father married Widow Liu from Xiaohe Village next door half a year after his first wife passed away. Widow Liu's man died on the battlefield. After seeing each other, Pei Mingche's father, Pei Dashan, met and the newly married little girl met. Mrs. Liu had been sincerely in love with Pei Mingche for half a year, but then she had her own child, and Pei Mingche became the redundant one in the family.
Pei Mingche, who was only five years old, not only had to get up early every day to collect firewood and dig wild vegetables in the mountains, but also feed the family's livestock. It can be said that he and the original Ji Qingyao both suffered a fate.
In her previous life, Ji Qingyao was sold to Xiaoxi Village and became Pei Linyun's wife. The two also consummated their marriage that day. People in the village were waiting to see the two children of the Pei family being tortured by Ji Qingyao, but everyone was disappointed.
Ji Qingyao can be said to be the best stepmother who is filial to her mother-in-law and loving to her children.
After Ji Qingyao married into the Pei family, she also went hunting in the mountains from time to time, and Li Xiulian did not stop her. Ever since Ji Qingyao came, there has been no shortage of meat on the Pei family's table. The extra Li Xiulian will sell food in the town, and she can't even do it in a month. I can save three or four taels of silver.
The Pei family was relatively well-off in Xiaoxi Village, but who would be dissatisfied with having too much money? Since Li Xiulian knew her son's true purpose of going to the battlefield, she only used Ji Qingyao as a tool.
Because Ji Qingyao lacked the care of her family since she was a child, when she arrived at Pei's house and saw Li Xiulian greeting her, she was so moved that she wanted to do her best to be kind to the Pei family, and she did the same.
That day, Pei Mingche was ordered by his stepmother to go up the mountain to find food. He fainted from hunger and fell to the side of the road. Ji Qingyao, who had returned from hunting in the mountain, saw him and revived him, giving him a piece of cake and a dog. pheasant.
The 19-year-old boy burst into tears after being rescued.
Ji Qingyao looked at the young man's ill-fitting clothes and thought of her former self. She felt more compassion in her heart and told the young man that she went hunting in the mountains every two days. If she didn't want to go hungry, she would wait for her on the mountain and take him with her. Hunt together.
He also warned the young man not to tell the story, otherwise he would have nothing to eat. The young man agreed and swore to God that he would not betray Ji Qingyao. Only later did the young man find out that the beautiful woman who saved him was actually bought by his cousin Pei Linyun. daughter in law.
In the days that followed, Ji Qingyao had a tail behind him. That period of time could be said to be the happiest and happiest time Pei Wenche had lived.
During the days when he was learning to hunt with Ji Qingyao, he would secretly look at Ji Qingyao and think in his mind how great it would be if she were his wife. He would hold her like a pearl in his hand and love her.
But he knew that all this was a luxury.
He cherishes every minute and second with Ji Qingyao, and he also works hard to learn hunting skills from her. Ever since he learned to hunt from Ji Qingyao, he has never let himself go hungry. This is because his stepmother is no longer his mother. It was something he didn't even dare to think about.
During the years of living under his stepmother, he had never had enough to eat, let alone meat. During the Chinese New Year, he didn't have a share of the meat on the family dinner table, and he couldn't even get a mouthful of soup.
All the meat and fish on the table ended up in the stomachs of his father and stepmother. The stepmother often said that he was an older brother and that he should protect his younger siblings. No one would have thought that he was only five or six years old at that time. Just children.
Ji Qingyao was diagnosed with pregnancy in the third month after Pei Linyun left. She was too thin and exercised a lot, so she had no experience in not realizing that she was pregnant.
Li Xiulian was not too surprised or dissatisfied after learning that Ji Qingyao was pregnant. Anyway, her son was going to be a high official in the capital. There were many women in the backyards of wealthy families, as well as concubines and concubines. Her son's legitimate children had already been born. For Ji Qingyao's belly, She didn't have much expectations for her child.
