When several people returned to the village, some villagers greeted them warmly.
Sister-in-law Lian was the most enthusiastic. She hadn't seen Gu Yunxi for a long time and said with a smile: "Oh, wife Jianchuan, you are about to give birth."
Gu Yunxi held her waist and responded with a smile: "Sister-in-law Lian, I'm only about six months old, so it's still early."
Another woman exclaimed: "Isn't it? It's only six months, why do you look so big? Wife-in-law Jianchuan, are you pregnant with twins?"
When Gu Yunxi heard this, he was also stunned, twins?
She had never given birth to a child in her two lives, so she had no idea about the size of the child now. She only thought that because of the space spirit spring water, the child had sufficient nutrition and her belly was bigger than others.
He was also a little surprised and worried. She looked at Gu Yunxi's belly and thought that she would have to find a doctor to check Yunxi's pulse. If she was really pregnant with twins, she would have to be even more careful.
Twins are good, but whether they are pregnant or delivered, they are a bit more dangerous for women.
Just as Mrs. He was thinking about it, she heard another woman say: "Hey, have you heard that Li Erniu sold his family, Li Da Niu?"
Sister-in-law Lian likes to listen to the excitement, so she immediately came over and asked, "Isn't it right? Isn't Sister Li crazy? Why did she sell it?"
The woman said: "Isn't that right? It is said that it was sold to an old man in Liantang Village whose wife died. That old man is older than Li Erniu!"
Sister-in-law Lian exclaimed: "Oh, this old Li family really has no conscience. They really lose their conscience just for money."
"Isn't that right? No matter what you say, the big girl is still Mrs. Li's biological daughter..."
The women said something to each other, so that Gu Yunxi and Mr. He could understand clearly.
Gu Yunxi was also a little surprised. Ever since Li Danniu made a scene in front of Lu's house last time, she had never seen Li Danniu again.
She thought that after Li Da Niu went crazy, she was locked up at home by Granny Li.
I really didn't expect that the Li family would "sell" Li Danniu. Forget it, they would "sell" her to an old man who was older than her father, Li Erniu.
To put it bluntly, at this age, the old man is already half-footed in the ground. If you marry him, isn't it clear that you are going to be pushed into a pit of fire?
Gu Yunxi shook his head, feeling a little complicated. If he wanted to blame it, he could only blame Li Daniu for doing it on her own, and for having parents like Mrs. Li and Li Daniu.
It's all her creation.
Mr. He also felt unhappy. This Li Danniu was obviously a good girl before, but later, for some unknown reason, she turned into a disgusting person and did so many bad things.
After she went crazy, He thought it was retribution, but she didn't expect that going crazy wasn't enough. Her parents would be so ruthless and marry her off to an old man.
Gu Yunxi patted He's hand and said, "Mom, let's go back."
When the two returned home, Gu Yunxi told Mr. He about Yunle's visit to Granny Dong, and Mr. He was also very happy.
According to the level she and Widow Cao were at, what she could teach Gu Yunle was just introductory stuff, and she couldn't teach her any further.
Yunle is talented, and it is a great blessing that she can get timely guidance from a master who is better at embroidery!
He smiled: "Yunle, from now on, I will ask your Uncle Lu to take you to Grandma Dong's house every three days."
Gu Yunxi followed: "Mom, if Yunle goes to town to find Granny Dong, Qingqing can also go with her, so that they both have company."
Qingqing and Yunle are similar in age, and their relationship is as good as real sisters. If Yunle goes to town to find Granny Dong, Qingqing will be bored at home.
Furthermore, although Qingqing spends most of her time painting flowers, she occasionally does embroidery.
It would be even better if Qingqing could also get some guidance from Granny Dong!
He agreed wholeheartedly.
In the evening, Gu Yunxi told Lu Jianchuan about this, and Lu Jianchuan was also happy for Yunle.
"Yunle is talented. It's good to have Granny Dong's guidance. She has many skills but is not overwhelmed."
Gu Yunxi smiled and said, "Isn't that right? I am just a biological sister. I just hope that she will be well. I will not worry about food and clothing in the future."
Lu Jianchuan hugged her and said with heartache: "Daughter-in-law, don't worry, our lives will definitely get better and better in the future."
There are still more than two months before the provincial examination. Lu Jianchuan is anxious but also looking forward to it. He hopes that the provincial examination will be faster. When he passes the examination, his wife will not have to work so hard.
Now my daughter-in-law has to draw flowers at home with a big belly. Sometimes she feels uneasy and has to go to the medicine fields and Sha Tin to look at the honeysuckle and watermelon seedlings.
Gu Yunxi snuggled into Lu Jianchuan's arms and sighed, feeling that everything she had done was worth it.
Under the warm yellow oil lamp, the two of them cuddled against each other, and their shadows hugging each other were projected on the wall, quiet and warm.
After a while, Lu Jianchuan suddenly remembered something: "By the way, wife, didn't I meet two friends from Yang County before? I received a letter from them today, saying that they would come to Jihu Town in the next two days. , drop by our house for a visit.”
Gu Yunxi said "hmm", pulled out of Lu Jianchuan's arms, and asked, "Friends from Yang County? Are they the two people you mentioned last time and met when you signed up?"
Lu Jianchuan nodded: "Yes, there are two of them. One is Jie and the other is Gao."
Gu Yunxi looked at Lu Jianchuan with a smile and asked, "Well, do we need to prepare anything?"
In Xijiang Village, almost all people of the same age as Lu Jianchuan have children. None of them were sent to study by their parents like Lu Jianchuan.
He was also the first scholar in Xijiang Village. Those of his age who had not studied were either in awe or jealous of him.
Therefore, Lu Jianchuan had almost no friends while growing up.
With Lu Jianchuan's talents, he should not be trapped in this small Xijiang Village. He should really make more friends.
"There's no need to prepare anything special, just like we usually do at home."
"Oh, by the way, we can make tea for them then, using the honeysuckle we grow at home."
It's not that Lu Jianchuan is boasting, but he really thinks the honeysuckle grown at his home is delicious. He has drunk honeysuckle before, but it feels far inferior to the ones at his own home.
Gu Yunxi looked at his confident look and couldn't help but smile: "Maybe the tea they drink at home is much more expensive than ours!"
Lu Jianchuan looked at Gu Yunxi's smile and felt that his heart was full of joy, and said, "That's different. No matter how expensive the tea is, it can't taste as good as the tea we grow ourselves."
The couple chatted for a long time. Finally, Gu Yunxi yawned and was hugged by Lu Jianchuan and fell asleep.
