Chapter 360: The Little Wife of Orion (19)

In the middle of the night, the sundries room was still lit with an oil lamp.
Tang Xiu'er did eat too much today, so she couldn't sleep and sat on the bed for a long time. Take a close look at the gold earrings and fine bracelets Ji Huai bought for her today.
She hasn't seen gold up close, let alone touched it. When she married Ji Huai, she didn't have any jewelry. Ji Mu told her that after a hundred years, the deformed and dark silver bracelet she was wearing would be passed on to her.
Later, when Ji Mu fell ill, the silver bracelet was pawned to buy medicine. Immediately afterwards, there was a funeral. The money was spent and nothing was left.
When Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji married into Ji’s family, everyone had a pair of gold earrings. They were very unremarkable and pitiful. She is envious. Don't even dare to hope.
The pair that Ji Huai bought for her was still tassel earrings. There are also gold bracelets. Although they are not big gold bracelets, they are heavy in the hands.
After she put it on, she looked at it for a while, and then placed it carefully in the box, ready to hide it.
"Wear it if you like it." Ji Huai walked over and said.
"What if someone asks, what should I do? The wealth is not exposed. Can you not tell others that the ginseng is sold for more than 30 taels?" She closed the box and said seriously. After speaking, she was afraid of his misunderstanding, and hurried. He explained, "I'm not asking you to lie to the eldest brother and the second elder brother, but you can say less. After all, we spent a lot of money.
He guessed what she meant right away, "I know, the sister-in-law will plan the order, even better than us."
Tang Xiu'er thought it would take a lot of talking, but when he saw that he understood, she nodded, "Well, we won't be able to tell at that time."
Sister Ji's abacus is very good. When Ji's mother was there, she remembered everything clearly, only a lot more. If you tell the other party that they have sold more than 30 taels of ginseng, then the other party may have any thoughts.
Moreover, in her concept, the money does not belong to their little family. If Big Brother Ji and Second Brother Ji need it, they will definitely have to take it, and the other party will try to take it away.
Ji Huai: "If you don't tell them the money, you will have to give birth right away and keep the children."
Hearing, Tang Xiu'er was slightly surprised, and then her eyes were a little swollen.
He had been hunting in the past, and it was Ji mother who told her about the child, and he was waiting to be a father. And she didn't think there was anything wrong.
However, after he said this, she suddenly felt a sense of dependence. She was still a child after all, and she was also anxious. Ji Huai and Ji Mu are so partial to the big room and the second room, you can imagine the shock that he said to her.
After that, Ji Huai took off his coat, took out the silver buckle in his chest, first took out the money for the medicinal materials, put it on the bed, and then took out the money for the bamboo basket and purse, "The money is here, you keep it."
Tang Xiu'er looked at the money on the bed, but didn't react for a while, and paused, "Am I keeping it?"
"Yes, I think your small body is also worried. You have to hire a good midwife. If the child is not full, I am afraid you have to hire a nanny or buy goat's milk for a little money." He hung his coat aside and wore it. The shirt comes to sleep.
If what he said just now was a reassurance, what he did would give her the backbone. She didn't shirk, she took the money in panic, and promised, "I will take it well, and I won't spend it randomly."
Ji Huai is generous to everyone, especially the two older brothers. If he says that something needs to be spent on the other party, he will have to use it for bankruptcy.
But she is about to give birth, raising a child costs money, even if she is selfish, she wants to be bold this time.
Ji Huai answered, "It's okay to mess with flowers, and it's not bad. I will also go up the mountain to hunt some prey, but if I don't go deep in the mountains this time, there is no danger. You are too weak, so you have to walk. In the future. It’s good to go to town often to see what you want to buy."
Tang Xiu'er didn't dare to be so extravagant. Holding a large sum of money, she hesitated for a while and whispered, "Then can we buy a local cover?"
The Ji family had two fairly good houses, and they were given to Brother Ji and Brother Ji who were married early. They didn't have a house and were squeezed into the utility room.
When she said this, she looked around the sundries room.
The utility room is small and narrow, and after putting down a bed and a table, two people appear crowded inside. There were no windows, and it was so dim and gloomy, even the door was pitifully small, so Ji Huai stooped to enter.
Both of them looked crowded when they were sitting at the table eating.
If you have a child, how pitiful is that a family of three squeezed in such a house? In the past, there was no other way but to live here. Now that she has money, she wants to use it to build a house. Let their family of three have a better nest.
"The building of the house slows down. Your belly is getting bigger. The house will not be built in a short while, and you have to be busy and tiring." Ji Huai said.
Tang Xiuer thought about it, so she stopped thinking about it.
She hid the money under the brick beside the bed. She also hid the previous money there, but there were only a few copper plates inside. She put the jewelry and money in, and gently put the bricks away.
After putting it away, she was extremely worried and kept staring at it.
"Sleep." Ji Huai reminded, reaching out to pull her when he fell asleep.
When they came back today, they held hands all the way, and when she was tired, they took his arm. At any rate, he had close contact and was pregnant with his child. Today I bought her cakes and jewellery again. The two seem to have not changed much, and they seem to have gotten closer.
If you get along for a long time, the feelings will always heat up.
As soon as she fell asleep, Ji Huai covered her with a quilt, and while closing her eyes, his hands naturally hugged her waist, just like the afternoon, holding her hand and squeezing it gently.
Lying on the same bed, Tang Xiu'er was a bit shy at first, but he acted very naturally, just like today's noon. Slowly, her nervousness was let go, she was held by him obediently, and she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
When Ji Huai fell ill, she lay beside him to sleep, but she woke up often in the middle of the night and her heart was uncomfortably tight. Nightmares again and again.
She had to wait for him to sleep, otherwise she would not dare to sleep.
Now lying next to him, it didn't take long for him to close his eyes, before he fell asleep.
The next day.
The sky was white, and the crowed, one after another.
Tang Xiuer slept very lightly and was quarreled. She moved slightly, dazed. I walked a lot the day before and I was so tired that I didn't want to think about it at all.
"It's still early." Ji Huai's voice rang in his ears.
In the past, she seldom hugged him to sleep, because the two had no space to get along alone, and Ji Mu could come in at any time.
After doing the boudoir secrets, you must dress tightly. He lost control during that time, got out of bed, put on his clothes, and put on a dull face, and fell asleep under the covers with her honestly.
There was a lot of contact the day before, and Tang Xiu'er was a little bolder, and she was indeed awkwardly asleep. She stretched out her hand to hug him, got under the covers, and continued to sleep.
She fell asleep again soon, and the memory before going to bed ended with a warm bed and his arms were warm.
When she woke up again, she was the only one left in the bed.
The door was open, and the sun was shining in through the doorway. Looking at the daylight, it was late. When Ji Mu was there, she was about to wake up for breakfast at dawn. Ji Huai ate and went up the mountain, Ji Mu and her ate and went to work in the fields.
Now that Ji Mu has been absent for a long time, and Ji Huai is not going up the mountain, she hasn't gotten up so early. Today I was a little sleepy, and I didn't know what Ji Huai had done. She lifted the quilt and got up and got out of bed.
Just after leaving the door, Ji Huai walked out of the kitchen and said to her, "Wake up? It's just time for breakfast."
Sister Ji was washing clothes in the yard, and her mouth squashed when she saw Tang Xiu'er sleeping until now. That is to say, Ji Mu is gone, this girl's good life is getting better.
She just saw Ji Huai take two eggs to the kitchen and cook rice porridge. There was a lot of pork left last night.
It's not a day, and I actually ate pork. It must have been Ji Huai who went hunting in the mountains, and then took the prey to the town to sell, and then he changed the pork to eat.
If Ji Mu was here, would Tang Xiu'er take turns to eat so much of this pork?
She smelled the scent coming from the other end of the kitchen, and her stomach gurgled, washing her clothes angrily.
Ji Huai was generous at first and didn't care about it. Now that there is no Ji Mu restraint, Tang Xiu'er's good days are probably behind. She met him this morning and went to the kitchen with eggs, and she said something.
What did they say?
"She's pregnant, and I don't waste anything to eat. I will give her everything if I eat."
Sister-in-law Ji feels sore in her heart. Her morning sickness brother Ji also said that she was hypocritical and could not do a lot of housework and was slow at work. People said she had a lot of work.
Tang Xiu'er went into the kitchen, thinking that Ji Huai would fry the meat last night, never expected that he cooked two eggs.
"Why boiled eggs? Meat is enough," she said.
Ji Huai raised his eyelids slightly, "Just your body, don't you eat more? Long meat. Otherwise, you will suffer when you have a baby."
Seeing him say this, Tang Xiu'er couldn't refute, "One person, one person."
Ji Huai: "Yeah."
Seeing that he was eating fast, Tang Xiu'er was afraid that he would not eat anymore, so he peeled an egg for him and put it in his bowl quickly, for fear that he would finish the meal first.
She moved too fast and too eagerly, making Ji Huai amused.
"Eat meat." She said, she also gave him meat.
"I can do it myself." He was helpless and said with a faint smile.
Tang Xiu'er was stunned, not knowing when she started. Ji Huai started to care about her, always let her eat more, and deliberately left it for her to eat.
And she was really afraid that he would not eat and would eat together.
She raised her head and slammed into Ji Huai's dark eyes, and her heart waved slightly. She was in a trance, as if she had returned to the year when she was brought to Ji's house.
She was frightened and uneasy, lowered her head and looked at her surroundings at a loss. He was tall and thin, standing in front of her, Ji Mu said to her, this is her future husband.
When everyone else was gone, she stood still and did not dare to move. Ji Huai's eyes fell on her, stretched out his hand to pull her over, and said seriously, "I will be your brother, and I will protect you from now on."
Later, he should have forgotten about it, but she always remembered it.
He said to protect her.
Until noon, sister-in-law Ji felt that something was wrong, and sister-in-law Ji's family hadn't left the door, the door was closed, and no one came out.
She was very puzzled, both of them went out to work?
No, it's time to come back to work now, and it's time to go back to mow the grass.
Ji Ersao went to knock on the door, "Cuifen?"
She knocked several times, but there was no movement inside.
"Tuifen?"
Still no one responded.
Ji Huai and Tang Xiu'er were sitting in the courtyard, one weaving bamboo baskets and the other embroidering purses. Hearing the movement, they also looked up.
