Xu Ping scratched his head, "But if the eldest brother doesn't go out, how can our family live a good life? The eldest brother is also doing it for our own good."
"This is the truth. I ask you, do you want your eldest brother to stay with you at home every day?"
"think!"
"Isn't that enough?"
"Oh, that's it," Xu Ping glanced at his sister-in-law pitifully, "I miss my eldest brother so much, and my sister-in-law must miss him even more. There are countless vixens out there staring at my eldest brother."
"Tsk..." Fan Shiqing threw the melon seed shells on Xu Ping, "Have you been thinking about this all day long?"
Xu Ping giggled and ducked away. While the old and the young were playing around, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside. Immediately, a man wearing a hat on his head and riding a tall horse shouted loudly: "But Xu Ling's family?"
Gu Yuan and Xu An who were in the room quickly ran out when they heard the noise. Fan Shiqing also stood up and said, "Yes, this is Xu Ling's home. Who are you looking for?"
"I am delivering a letter for Xu Ling." The man took out a letter from his arms and took off the bundle tied to his horse. "He also asked me to send these things to you."
"Kind brother, come down and have a rest before we talk!" Xu Ping came out to take the letter and saw the two brothers Chen Sheng from the old house next door also coming out and walking over.
"Where is my elder brother? Why hasn't he come back?" Xu Ping handed the letter to Fan Shiqing and asked him to read, "Master, what did my brother say?"
"I don't know about that. I'm just a messenger."
Chen Sheng went to the house to bring hot water and handed it to the messenger. He also brought a stool for him to rest.
The letter written by Xu Ling was three pages long. Fan Shiqing read it very quickly. When he looked up, there was a circle of people around him. Gu You said anxiously, "Master, what did my husband-in-law say?"
"He said in the letter that he had some things to do temporarily and he wouldn't be able to come back for the Lantern Festival."
Gu You blinked. Although he had expected this to happen, he was still disappointed and uncomfortable.
"Did he say anything else?"
In the letter, Xu Ling arranged for Xu Ping to ask his father-in-law Gu Litian to help oversee the reclamation of the fields and build a house for Chen Sheng. He simply mentioned that he was going to Yazhou, Quanzhou for a trip. He would definitely not be able to catch up with the Lantern Festival when he came back, so he asked them to He is well at home, waiting for him to come home.
Gu Tao stretched out her feet to read the tadpole-like words in the letter. No matter how Fan Shiqing read them, they still felt strange to her.
"Did he write the letter?"
Fan Shiqing looked at the words on the letter, which included large, small, and ugly words that people couldn't bear to look at. He shook the letter paper and said with a smile, "This guy is quite smart. He can write so many words after just a few days of learning."
"Let me see!"
"I also want to read the letter written by eldest brother!"
Xu Ping and Xu An snatched the letter written by Xu Ling, and the two of them read it word for word with their heads facing each other.
The messenger finished his tea and said: "If you want to write a reply, write it quickly and I will help you take it back. Xu Ling said that he will come to the escort office regardless of whether there is a reply or not."
"Write! Let's write! Please stay and have a meal before leaving." Ms. Xu held the messenger and refused to let him go. She caught him and asked Xu Ling if he had lost weight and what he was doing.
The messenger was just a bodyguard in the escort agency. How could he know so much about Xu Ling?
I just said that Xu Ling was fine when I saw him, and he wanted to practice martial arts with his master in the escort agency.
Everyone listened happily, but Gu You couldn't be happy.
Xu Ling knew how to do business, read, and wanted to practice martial arts, but she could only wait for him to come back at home, day by day.
How can I get closer to Xu Ling?
On the other side, Xu Pingdao said that when he grew up, he would go out and travel with Xu Ling, and Xu An was also clamoring to go.
The two of them were chattering so loudly that Gu You felt like the world was spinning, his vision went dark, and his body went limp.
This frightened Mrs. Xu! He quickly hugged Gu Tao to prevent her from falling. Oh my god, if this fell to Gu Tao, it would be terrible if it reached her eldest son's ears!
"What's going on? Why did you faint suddenly?" Xu shouted in panic.
Fan Shiqing quickly asked Xu Ping and Xu An to help Gu Tao into the house, and asked Chen Sheng to call for help from Gu's house.
"Does she have a perm on her head?"
"But you're sick?"
After Gu Tao lay down for a while, he woke up again in a daze. He grabbed Fan Shiqing and said, "Master Fan, can I practice calligraphy?"
If she could read, would she be able to read Xu Ling's letter?
Mrs. Liu rushed from home soon. When she saw her daughter fainted, she drove Fan Shiqing and Xu Ping out. She whispered in her ear and asked, "Have you done that?"
Gu You was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't reacted yet.
Mrs. Xu said happily: "Are you pregnant again?"
Ms. Liu beamed: "How can I not know that I am my daughter? This child will follow me. I fainted when I was pregnant with Daliang and her. Have you forgotten that this was also the case when I was pregnant with Daya?"
"Let me see, it's probably happening again!"
Mrs. Xu clapped her hands and smiled from ear to ear, "Okay, okay, I will definitely give birth to a fat grandson this time. This is a good thing. I have to tell A Ling!"
However, Gu Tao grabbed her mother-in-law by mistake and said, "Mom, it's better not to tell A Ling yet. What if it delays his business?"
"It won't be too late to tell him when he comes back."
"Yes, you are right. The month is still young and you can't see it. You still have to ask someone to take a pulse!"
As soon as Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Liu discussed it, they asked Chen Sheng to go to Fengjia Village and ask Mrs. Wang, the most famous midwife nearby, to come and have a look.
This Mrs. Wang has delivered countless babies, so she knows this best.
Chen Sheng hurriedly invited Mrs. Wang, who put her hands on Gu You's wrist and immediately grinned.
"Congratulations! Isn't this just what happened? But the month is still young, it should be a month old, right?"
Gu Tao pursed her lips and calculated that the time should be the "wedding night" between her and Xu Ling.
Why did it happen all at once?
"Ouch!" Madam Xu smiled like a chicken-stealer. She didn't even bother to go down to the ground, and went to the kitchen by herself: "You have a good rest, I'll take care of you! This time he must be a big fat boy!"
Ms. Liu quickly said: "Even if it's not the case, they are still young and can still have children."
Mrs. Liu was afraid that her daughter would be under too much pressure.
But Mrs. Xu was not happy to hear this and asked Mrs. Wang, "Mrs. Wang, do you think my daughter-in-law is carrying a boy or a girl?"
Mrs. Wang looked embarrassed. She was not a fortune teller. How could she be sure? But everyone in the country likes boys, so you are right to say that they sound good.
"What? My sister-in-law is pregnant?"
"You have to tell big brother about this in a letter. Big brother will definitely be very happy!"
"Don't write it yet, don't delay your elder brother from doing his business?"
Everyone in the room was very happy. Gu You sat on Xu's bed and touched his flat belly, feeling both happy and sad.
She thought of Xu Lingmeng Lang's hands that night and whispered in her ear that she didn't want her to have children all the time and delay her body.
Who knew she would have done it that night!
