Chapter 847 Worry
It was almost noon when Bai Lixia and Gu Yunxi returned home from their clan studies.
Seeing the charcoal stove already lit in the yard and the soup base already boiling in the pot above the charcoal stove, he grinned, "No wonder I smelled the fragrant aroma of the house just now in the clan school. It turned out that I was going to have hot pot at noon."
After saying this, the two of them saw Su Mulan, who was sitting on a chair, covered with a blanket, looking tired under the sun, and taking a nap.
"Mom, are you feeling unwell?" Bai Lixia asked hurriedly with concern.
“Are you tired, mother-in-law?” Gu Yunxi also came over.
“That’s not…”
Xie Guangbai, who was already preparing to cut the mutton and put it in the pot to boil it, laughed without waiting for Su Mulan to explain, "I'm going to give you a younger brother or sister or something."
Bai Lixia and Gu Yunxi were startled at first, and then quickly reacted.
Mother/aunt has a baby in her belly!
"This is a great event." Bai Lixia's nose turned red with excitement, "In the future, if we have a few more younger brothers and sisters, the family will be more lively. I'm worried that we don't have any children at home to accompany us."
"Mom, since you are pregnant, you must not be tired. The smell of hot pot is strong and the smell of charcoal fire is strong. I am afraid it will be uncomfortable if you smell it too much. So sit here, mom, and I will prepare the vegetables and meat for you. , I’ll bring it to you.”
“I remember that my mother likes to eat mutton slices and fish balls. Let’s get some fish and tofu too. Yes, there are also bean curds, lotus root slices, fried yuba...”
Bai Lixia was muttering there, while taking a plate and adding some of Sumulan's favorite foods into the pot.
Gu Yunxi scooped some sesame sauce on the side, mixed it with fermented bean curd, chopped peanuts, minced green onions, minced coriander, vinegar, etc., and mixed the sauce, preparing for the sappan blue to be dipped in later.
When Bai Lixia had cooked all kinds of meat and vegetables, the two of them brought them to Su Mulan.
But the two of them also thought that when eating alone, it would be appropriate to hold a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other. I'm afraid it would be difficult to hold these two bowls.
The two of them thought about it for a while, discussed it, and simply mixed the sesame sauce with all the meat and vegetables that Bai Lixia had cooked, mixed it, and then served it to Sumulan.
Looking at the delicious hot pot, it turned into a completely spicy mix, Su Mulan couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.
But the children’s intentions must never be let down.
Su Mulan happily took it and said, "You should hurry up and eat."
"Okay, let's go eat first. If mom wants to eat anything, just say nothing."
With Su Mulan's nod of approval, Bai Lixia took Gu Yunxi to eat hot pot together.
Sumulan began to attack and sweep away the spicy food in the bowl.
She ate a lot of chicken noodle soup in the morning, but it didn't hinder her appetite at this time. After devouring it, the bowl of spicy mix was quickly exhausted.
Su Mulan was looking at the table full of vegetables and meat, thinking about what to eat. Bai Shitang had already brought over a bowl of cooked mutton slices, as well as the winter melon slices and sweet potato slices that Su Mulan loved.
Bai Lixia also cooked some gluten and frozen tofu, while Gu Yunxi cooked mushrooms and fungus...
Sumulan finally felt the happiness of being fed.
Having the hot pot at noon, I burped again and again.
In the afternoon, Su Mulan felt a little sleepy due to the sun in the yard, so she went back to the house and slept for a while, and did not get up until the sun turned west. In the evening, thinking of Su Mulan's good appetite, Bai Shitang cooked a large table of sumptuous dishes.
What about sweet and sour pork loin, braised pork ribs, fried lamb with green onions, saliva chicken...
Facing the feast of delicious food, Sumulan adhered to the principle of never letting it down and enjoyed it again.
At night, Su Mulan was lying on the bed, his eyes glancing at the curtain above his head.
“You slept too much during the day, can’t you sleep now?” Bai Shitang looked at Su Mulan’s refreshed look and said with a smile.
"Fortunately, if you really want to sleep, you can still sleep, but..." Su Mulan put her hands on her lower abdomen, and the smile spread on the corner of her mouth, "I just think pregnancy is a magical thing. ”
There is a little life in the belly, and the little life will grow up little by little and eventually become a baby.
Bai Shitang also smiled, and gently placed his hand on Su Mulan's lower abdomen. After rubbing it for a moment, he held Su Mulan's hand.
The palm of the white stone is broad, and the grip is quite strong, but more gentle.
But Su Mulan also felt a slight hot flash in Bai Shitang's palms, as if his palms were sweating when he was nervous.
"What are you thinking about?" Su Mulan turned sideways and entered Bai Shitang's arms.
“It’s nothing, I’m just so happy.” Bai Shitang scratched Su Mulan’s nose, “Are you feeling bored? Do you want me to read you a storybook?”
Su Mulan likes to read storybooks, but the candlelight is a bit dim at night. Bai Shitang is worried that she will hurt her eyes by reading the storybook, so he often reads it by himself and lets her lie down and listen.
Su Mulan nodded, thought for a while, and took out a book from the pile of story books, "Read this book. I read half of it last time and haven't read the second half yet. The story book is quite interesting. "
"Okay." Bai Shitang took the storybook and kissed her on the forehead. After Su Mulan adjusted to a comfortable lying position, he cleared his throat and started reading.
Shiraishido's voice is rich and magnetic. At this time, he deliberately lowered his voice. It sounded deep and soft, which was more comfortable than usual. In particular, Shiraishido's reading is full of emotions, and he will change his tone when meeting different characters. , Su Mulan closed her eyes and listened, suddenly feeling like listening to a modern radio drama, very comfortable.
Bai Shitang read a few pages and noticed that the person in his arms was breathing evenly and seemed to be sleeping soundly, so he put down the storybook in his hand, but he was not in a hurry to lie down, but maintained this position, letting Su Mulan Sleep more comfortably.
The candlelight danced on the table, but Bai Shitang's face was covered with a faint layer of obscurity.
Su Mulan's pregnancy was a happy event and something he had been looking forward to, but now that she was actually pregnant, he was full of worries.
Being pregnant for ten months is extremely hard, and when a woman gives birth, she steps into the gate of hell.
Su Mulan is so thin, and she is still pregnant with twins. One can only imagine the suffering she will have to endure...
Bai Shitang sighed inwardly.
—
Su Mulan felt that she had truly lived a life where she could open her mouth when she had food to eat and stretch out her hands when she needed clothes.
Xu and Li were responsible for all the trivial matters at home. Bai Shitang took personal care of her food and daily life. Bai Lixia and Gu Yunxi also treated her like a porcelain doll and took good care of her all day long.
Su Mulan felt heartwarming, but also felt helpless because she was not allowed to do anything or go anywhere.
