Zhai Yao was silent.
He doesn't look well.
Seeing this, Zhou Xiaoxiao couldn't help but have a bad feeling.
She said, "do you really want to..."
"The old man means that he wants you to live here until the baby is born." Zhai Yao's tone is very heavy, big palm slowly stroked the girl's back, sighed: "Xiaoxiao, you need to work harder, last month, insist, OK?"
Zhou Xiaoxiao grabs his hand in fear.
"And you?"
She stares at him: "will you be with me and the children?"
"Yes
Zhai Yao nodded.
He closed his eyes, dropped the kiss on the girl's forehead, and continued, "I'll be with you and the child except during office hours."
When Zhou Xiaoxiao heard the speech, he finally relaxed.
She gave a long sigh of relief and said with a forced smile, "that's OK. As long as you're here, I'm not afraid!"
Zhai yaoyang raised his eyebrows.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the girl with a smile: "really?"
"Well!"
Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded.
She nestled in the man's chest, slowly closed her eyes, but her heart was sad.
In any case, the rich family is as deep as the sea. If she can choose, she really doesn't want her children involved.
She doesn't want any luxury, but only hopes that the children can grow up healthily and have happiness.
This is her only wish as a mother!
Zhai's old house is very big, but Zhou Xiaoxiao has a big belly. If she walks too long, it's inconvenient.
Maybe the old man was worried about this, so he set the dinner place in the side hall, which was only a few minutes away from the west chamber.
After stepping into the room and bypassing the screen, the first thing you see is a big round table, which means round and round.
The old man is not here yet.
At the moment, only Zhai Qin and Xu Xiaojing were present. When they saw Zhai Yao and Zhou Xiaoxiao coming in, they immediately stood up from their seats and said respectfully, "second brother, Miss Zhou!"
Zhai Yao nodded, very pale.
He helped Zhou Xiaoxiao sit down carefully.
"Thank you
Zhou Xiaoxiao said softly.
Zhai Yao just slightly hooked his lips and touched her cerebellar pouch.
On the other side, Xu Xiaojing watched the scene, put his hand under the table, secretly clenched into a fist.
At that time, there was movement from the door.
At the same time, they turned their heads and looked in the past. The old man was walking in slowly, followed by the housekeeper, quite dignified.
Zhai Qin and Xu Xiaojing stood up again.
Zhou Xiaoxiao also prepared to stand up, but was interrupted by a gesture of the old man: "you don't have to get up, just continue to sit."
Zhou Xiaoxiao smell speech, the season did not dare to move, just a little cramped.
The old man is seated.
He swept his eyes all over the room and immediately raised his face: "where's the boss?"
The old man has a hobby. He never calls his three sons by name. He is always the eldest, the second and the third.
"Second brother is abroad."
Zhai Qin answered.
"Hum!"
As soon as the old man patted the table, his face was sulky: "do I have to invite him in person?"
"Dad." Xu Xiaojing opened her mouth and said with a soft smile: "don't be angry, brother is busy with business recently. He has already called and said that Zhai Qin is going to make amends on behalf of him. He will come back in time for the next family dinner."
"When did he not say that?"
The old man was still angry.
Seeing this, Xu Xiaojing had to hush up and dare not say anything more.
Fortunately, the old man was not angry for a long time. In the twinkling of an eye, he saw Zhou Xiaoxiao with a big belly. He eased his face and asked the housekeeper to serve.
No surprise, today's so-called family dinner is tasteless.
Zhou Xiaoxiao is a new comer. She dares not say anything. She has always been timid. She takes "speak less, make fewer mistakes" as the criterion. She will never open her mouth as long as she is not asked.
After dinner, Zhai Yao accompanied her for a walk.
They are rarely silent.
After returning to her room, Zhou Xiaoxiao went to bed early. Maybe she was so tired that she fell into a dream almost instantly.
A night without a dream.
When I woke up again, Xu Xiaojing's face appeared in front of me.
"Ah
Zhou Xiaoxiao was frightened.
"It's me!" Xu Xiaojing said in a hurry.
She stepped back a distance and said with a smile, "I just want to see if you wake up and scare you?"
Zhou Xiaoxiao didn't speak.
She propped herself up with her hands and tried to sit up from the bed.
"Don't move."
Xu Xiaojing opens her mouth and reaches for her to sit up.
She looked at Zhou Xiaoxiao's stomach and said with a meaningful smile, "it's quite big. How many months have it been?"
Zhou Xiaoxiao didn't care much. He replied casually, "it's been more than eight months."
"Oh, it's almost born!"
Xu Xiaojing pretended to be surprised.
Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoxiao turned her head and looked at her: "don't you know?"
"How can I know? It seems that Zhai Qin mentioned it once last time, but it was two or three months ago. I forgot the specific month." Xu Xiaojing said with a smile.
"Oh..."
Zhou Xiaoxiao's reaction was very weak.
"I want to go to the bathroom," she continued
"You wait."
Xu Xiaojing said.
She stood up from the bedside and called out the maid who was waiting on Zhou Xiaoxiao, but she backed out.
It's very quiet in the yard outside. It's very suitable for raising a baby.
Xu Xiaojing stood in the sun, thinking.
She was also accompanied by a maid, who had been waiting on her for several years, especially loyal.
"Three little grandmothers."
The maid stepped forward two steps and whispered in Xu Xiaojing's ear: "I've already inquired about it. The old man will go out the day after tomorrow."
"Are you sure?"
Xu Xiaojing squinted.
The maid nodded and continued: "it's true. I heard the driver say it. The housekeeper just told me this morning that they should be ready in advance. They will start early the day after tomorrow. It's estimated that they will be back in the evening."
"It's an opportunity."
Xu Xiaojing sneered.
The maid followed with a smile. She turned her head and looked in the direction of the room. Then she said, "how long is that one?"
Xu Xiaojing said: "it's more than eight months now, almost next month. How?"
The maid continued: "three young grannies, you forget, our ancestors have a rule, this child ah, must be born seven not born eight!"
"Oh?"
Xu Xiaojing raised her eyebrows.
She looked at the maid and asked, "what gives birth to seven but not eight?"
