Qin Rui said that he would like to admire the moon, but he couldn't even see a single star in this ghastly weather.

Duan Xiaohe sat in the courtyard with him, and looked at the dark night sky and sighed.

She lamented the difficulty of life and feared the gossip of others. He lamented that his life had been too bitter, and that he had been forced to become a villain.

However, he couldn't help but treat her ruthlessly.

Qin Rui covered up his emotions and downed the last drop of wine.

"If Liu San does not return for three years, would you still wait?"

Duan Xiaohe was startled. Three years. If she truly hadn't returned for three years, without even the slightest news, wouldn't he have already died on the battlefield? Was she going to be a widow again?

"If he has not returned for three years and there is no news about him, you should consider me. "Since we know each other well, we shouldn't look down on each other. We'll just get by."

Duan Xiaohe looked at him very seriously, "Can you release your national hatred?"

Qin Rui shifted his gaze, looking into the distance in silence. Duan Xiaohe suddenly laughed, "If I were to follow you, wouldn't I have to live a life of hiding and hiding? Your national hatred, my other identity, if there really is anything in the future, we will be enemies. "Do you think we can still fight like this?"

She stood up and looked in the direction of the door, "If Liu San really hasn't returned for three years, or even if there's no news at all, I will have to wait for his bones to be delivered to me before I can believe that he is already dead. However, the man I like cannot be so cowardly. I believe that he will definitely have a future, and I believe that he will definitely come out. "

Duan Xiaohe acted as if she was sending off her guests, "Doctor Qin, farewell."

Since that day onwards, Qin Rui rarely came over, and Duan Xiaohe rarely went to find him. The two of them seemed to have deliberately avoided something. As long as Liu Da would occasionally go over to play with Qin Rui, and sell him the goods from time to time.

Widow Li also came over from time to time to chat with Xia Yu, and casually brought him over for a bit of fun.

Ever since the last time, Duan Xiaohe had never gone to Liu Er's house, even if she needed to go to the fields, she did not ask Liu Er for help. All she did was to find a house in the village, if she was willing to come, she would be willing to give him money.

Duan Xiaohe understood that since the Widow Li was a friendly here, on the surface, she wanted to tell Xia Yu about his pregnancy, but in reality, she was using the Little Ruixue to build a relationship with him. It was not easy for his to get rich, as the wages she paid to Liu Er was always higher than before.

She pretended that she didn't know about this sort of thing. Even when she couldn't help, she still called for one or two people to help her with the work. After a few times, Old Man Liu came over, and said that the land in his home was cultivated well by his family, and outsiders might not even be able to get the money. As for the rest of the money he didn't need for Liu Er, he would be just like the others.

Duan Xiaohe pretended to be troubled and said that she had already discussed this matter with the other two and that she would start planting watermelons there in a few days.

Old Man Liu was startled, "Watermelon growing on an entire piece of land?"

She nodded. "Well, the land was originally meant for growing watermelons."

Old Man Liu was so angry that he slapped his thigh. He said that growing a watermelon was a waste, as such a big plot of land was perfect for growing grain and could only be eaten during the season.

Duan Xiaohe didn't care, "I have money, I just don't have enough food to buy."

Old Man Liu was rendered speechless by her words. After being silent for a while, he stressed that he should call Liu Er over next time.

had never thought about growing watermelons. She and Liu Er didn't know how to grow watermelons, that was why they dragged Liu Jinfu to a person who specialised in growing watermelons. The person Liu Jinfu found was indeed reliable. After planting the watermelon, he told her how to water it and take care of it.

Watermelon grow fast, two or three months will grow up. That was the hottest time of the year. When the watermelon was ready to be taken into the well, Bing Bing would feel good. Just thinking about it would make her feel good.

The other two plots had been planted with millet rice and sorghum. These days were simply too comfortable. When she had nothing better to do, she liked to run into the watermelon fields and watch as the watermelon grew from a small one to a big one. She felt a sense of accomplishment!

There were also some devilish children in the village who went down to the fields to ruin it. For this reason, Duan Xiaohe felt so pained that she almost moved her bedding there and stayed up all night guarding. If it wasn't for Xia Yu's poor health, she might really do this.

Speaking of Xia Yu, in the words of the village's old man, ever since the injury, her condition had not been very good. From time to time, blood would spurt out, scaring Duan Xiaohe so much that he did not even dare let her go out.

During this time, Qian Qiaoqiao and Xia Quanan came down to take a look at Xia Yu a few times, and each time, they would bring over quite a few tonics.

It could be seen that Qian Qiaoqiao's days were much better than before.

Qian Qiaoqiao had never exposed the relationship between Duan Xiaohe and the little young master, she only said that with the Imperial Decree, the business of Jade Food Inn was extremely good. The two new cooks also worked hard. They were obedient and could even create new dishes, making Qian Qiaoqiao very happy.

Furthermore, her evil grandma, who touched the imperial edict at home all day, did not say that she would find a wife for Xia Quanan. Her attitude towards her also changed drastically, and she wished that she could follow the imperial edict.

Seeing that Qian Qiaoqiao's days were good, Duan Xiaohe was happy in her heart.

Before she left, she had promised Qian Qiaoqiao that he would send the watermelon over for her to taste when it was ripe. Unexpectedly, after a month of time, Xia Quanan came over by himself again.

She asked Qian Qiaoqiao why shshedid not come with his. Xia Quanan was all smiles, and said that Qian Qiaoqiao was pregnant, because she was too old, he was afraid that things might go wrong, so she did not send people along.

F * ck!

Duan Xiaohe couldn't hide her excitement and also let out a few painful howls from her heart. The people around her already had stomachs, how could she be so pitiful? It was as if she was sending off a child to Guanyin.

Originally, he wanted to keep Xia Quanan here for a meal, but he said that he wouldn't be at ease here.

Once Duan Xiaohe became happy, she circled the chicken coop at home twice. The chickens and ducks in the house had all grown up. Duan Xiaohe had coveted them for a long time and had even cooked a soup for Xia Yu to nourish her body. Finally, one day, she couldn't help but grab a chicken out of the pot and prepare to sing a song with the kitchen knife in her hand. But after being at the competition for a long time and not daring to move, Qin Rui who came to take care of Xia Yu, rolled up her sleeves and slashed her neck with his kitchen knife.

Since she had helped, Duan Xiaohe would not allow anyone to stay for the meal. She said she wanted to cook the broth, and Qin Rui said he wanted to stew it. She said that she would help Xia Yu recuperate her body, and Qin Rui said that he would cook half of the soup and the other half of the stew.

Duan Xiaohe felt that she was taking advantage of since he always came to treat Xia Yu and she never received any money, so she just followed him.

Qin Rui had not eaten here for a long time, he was not polite at all, he deserved to eat and drink, after eating, he shouted at Liu Da and left to play.

Xia Yu laughed at him because she felt that she was going back more and more.

Seeing Xia Yu using her chopsticks on the stewed chicken, she quickly moved the dish away.

"It's stewed with wine, don't eat it."

Xia Yu stroked her four-month-old belly and smiled shyly. "Other people will vomit when they get pregnant. I'm the only one who should eat and drink. See if I'm alright now." I just want a bite of spicy food right now, so it doesn't matter if I take a small bite.

Duan Xiaohe's stance was firm. She took her bowl and scooped up a bowl of chicken soup. No, your body won't be able to handle it. I'll make you whatever you want to eat when the baby is born. "Now drink this soup first."

The days passed quickly, and the watermelon in the ground soon matured. It was right when the weather was the hottest, Duan Xiaohe couldn't hold it in and cut one off from the ground. No fertilizer, no pesticides, and she had personally grown them herself. The taste was simply too awesome.

When people passed by, Duan Xiaohe would cut them into pieces and give them to others.

She called Liu Da and picked a few more. One of them was brought home to put in the water in the well, while the other was sent to Liu Jinfu's house, and the other two were sent to the family that helped her plant the watermelon.

Xia Yu was greedy and wanted to try it. Duan Xiaohe did not let her, and she cut a new one for her to eat.

Only after eating more than half of it did Duan Xiaohe remember that Qin Rui had come by herself, and hurriedly asked Liu Da to send one over. Who would have thought that Liu Da would only care about his own food, and not going. She thought that it was indeed tiring for Liu Da to take care of Xia Yu again these few days, so she decided to go by herself.

She knocked on the door a few times, but did not get a response. She thought that she should return first, and get Liu Da to send them over tomorrow. However, she heard that there seemed to be some movement inside the house.

Duan Xiaohe forced her way in and upon seeing Qin Rui lying on the ground, she frowned and broke out in a cold sweat. Her face was pale white and she bit her lips, trying her best to endure the pain.

Ye Zichen quickly put the watermelon on his bamboo bed, grabbed a handkerchief and stuffed it into his mouth, then ripped open his collar to let him breathe.

She didn't know what was wrong with him, but she felt uncomfortable looking at his appearance. She was afraid that it would be more comfortable this way.

Qin Rui seemed to be resistant to her movements as he pulled at the edge of the bamboo bed, wanting to get up by himself. Unexpectedly, he had pulled down the quilt and even the watermelon fell to the ground, smashing it into pieces with a 'pa' sound.

Another person broke in, and Manager Zhang rushed over like the wind, pushing Duan Xiaohe to the side, carefully pulling Qin Rui up, and stuffing something into his mouth.

After a while, Qin Rui's face gradually calmed down, but he did not have much strength, his entire body was weak as he leaned into Manager Zhang's embrace, like a delicate wife.
