Dong Shu had discovered that her husband did not dare to hug Yuanxi twenty days ago.
In the days before, she was immersed between "My Yuanxi looks good again today" and "My Yuanxi is so obedient", and she felt that she was probably the happiest mother in the world.
However, in the past two days, she had vaguely sensed that her husband didn't seem to dare hug Yuanxi.
For the first two days, she wasn't sure, but after two days of careful observation, she was sure.
"Master, do you not like Yuanxi?" Dong Shu who had just eaten her fill was in her arms as she looked at Xu Shiqiu in distress.
At that moment, Yuanxi had the same pair of crescent eyes as Dong Shu, with eyes like black grapes staring right at the direction of her mother's voice.
At first, Xu Shiqiu did not think that Dong Shu was saying these words to him, because he thought that his wife was flaunting the truth in front of him.
But after hearing what Dong Shu said, he opened his eyes wide in shock, "How could that be? My wife, don't think too much, how can I not like Yuanxi! "
Xu Shiqiu was puzzled at first, but then he said in a firm and decisive manner, very firmly expressing his own thoughts.
However, when Dong Shu heard his words, she shook her head and said, "If my husband likes Yuanxi, why isn't he willing to hug her?" After saying that, seeing that Hubby was about to speak, Dong Shu immediately continued, "I have observed for two days, Hubby looked at Yuanxi at most. I reached out my hands to tease her, but I definitely won't hug her."
Dong Shu's expression was very sad. She was very worried that Xu Shiqiu did not like Yuanxi and would not be as painful to him as his father in the future.
Xu Shiqiu never thought that his wife would find out that something was amiss even though he was so careful. He moved his lips, and decided to speak the truth, "My wife, I'm worried that my bad luck will affect Yuanxi."
The tone of his words was no different from before, but Xu Shiqiu still felt that he had used all the strength in his body to say these words.
Dong Shu naturally did not think that the reason Xu Shiqiu did not hug Yuanxi was because of this. She was so shocked that her mouth was wide open, and after being stunned for a good while, she finally took the initiative to give the Yuanxi in front of Xu Shiqiu.
"Hubby, hug Yuanxi right in front of my face. I'm watching you guys." After Dong Shu said this, seeing that Xu Shiqiu did not react, she hurriedly continued: "Husband, hug me! I don't believe that something will happen to his. Yuanxi is our daughter, and nothing will happen to her. "
Dong Shu's words were firm and her tone did not allow any rejection.
Xu Shiqiu rarely saw Dong Shu like this, after a slight hesitation, he finally mustered up the courage to extend his hand towards Yuanxi.
At this moment, Yuanxi, who was slowly being handed to Xu Shiqiu by Dong Shu, did not know that her parents had changed because of what had happened. Her tiny body was wrapped in a bundle and she did not notice that the person who was hugging her had changed.
When Xu Shiqiu, who was carrying her, spoke, she finally opened her eyes and looked in Xu Shiqiu's direction.
It was the first time Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu had raised a child. Seeing Yuanxi roll her eyes in the direction of Xu Shiqiu, they were certain that she had discovered a difference in him hugging her.
Seeing that her husband had hugged Yuanxi for a long time without anything happening to him, Dong Shu hurriedly looked at Xu Shiqiu in surprise and said, "My husband, look at me. I knew that Yuanxi would be fine. "
The current Xu Shiqiu was also very excited. Previously, even though he knew that with Yuanxi, he would be able to continue on since he was his blood-related daughter.
However, he only knew about it previously, so he didn't feel anything special about it.
It was only when he held Yuanxi and felt the weight on his hands that he truly understood the feeling of being connected by blood.
Seeing that Yuanxi started to doze off after such a long time, Xu Shiqiu quickly pulled her closer, imitating what he did before, and slowly beat her up.
Yuanxi quickly fell asleep under Xu Shiqiu's slaps. After seeing Yuanxi being coaxed into sleep by herself and nothing had happened for so long, Xu Shiqiu finally lifted Yuanxi who was in his embrace high up, and then placed his head onto her bundle.
The moment his head touched the bundle, Xu Shiqiu's tears immediately flowed out from his eyes.
Xu Shiqiu almost never cried after she understood.
Even in the past, when his entire family gathered together to eat during the new year, when he was alone in Shihuan Courtyard, he had never once cried.
But now, he cried.
He could feel his daughter's heartbeat. He could feel her breathing. He could tell that other than her eyes that looked like a wife, she looked like him.
The most important thing was that in the future, he would be able to hold his daughter in his arms and feel her growing.
In fact, Dong Shu could sense that Xu Shiqiu was crying, but after thinking about it, he did not say anything.
After waiting for her husband to calm his emotions and place Yuanxi by his side, she looked at him and said: "Then can you hug Yuanxi every single day, hubby?"
"Alright." Xu Shiqiu subconsciously opened his mouth to speak after hearing Dong Shu's words. After he finished speaking, he then suppressed his excitement and looked at Dong Shu: "In the future, I will hug Yuanxi every day and personally experience her growth."
Xu Shiqiu had indeed succeeded.
Ever since he hugged Yuanxi for the first time that day, as long as Yuanxi didn't wake up, in the following days, he would wish he could hold Yuanxi in his arms forever.
As the weather got warmer, Yuanxi's expression also increased.
Xu Shiqiu watched the Yuanxi who slowly grew up every day, and only felt that no matter how he looked at it, it was not enough.
Because he was worried that Yuanxi would grow up too fast, and even before he could feel her growth, Xu Shiqiu started to draw pictures of him every day.
Due to Xu Shiqiu's insistence, by the end of February, not only did Xu Nuanwen and Xu Yanzhu receive the letter from the capital, they also received a thick stack of portraits.
"This drawing, why do it doesn't look like it was drawn by your Third Uncle?"
Xu Nuanwen was very curious, she had opened her own mind, although she had to be very far away from Xu Shiqiu every time she taught her brother, but she was sure that there was something wrong with the drawing.
Xu Yanzhu was invited by Xu Nuanwen today, she had already received this letter the day before yesterday.
Hearing her aunt's words, he immediately covered his mouth with his hand and laughed. Then, he lowered his hand and said, "Aunt thinks that this painting is very strange. Yesterday, when I received this painting, like Aunt, I also realized that something was wrong." After saying that, Xu Yanzhu drank a mouthful of tea from the cup in front of him before continuing, "After I thought for a while, I remembered that Third Uncle invited a mister to come home last year. This mister's painting technique is different from Third Uncle's, this painting should be copied by mister Shi from Third Uncle's painting. "
Just as Xu Yanzhu finished speaking, Xu Nuanwen instantly understood.
It was funny when he thought about how his younger brother had painted his own niece and then told his family's teacher to take a few of the paintings for him and his first niece to see.
"However, your Third Uncle's idea is not bad. Looking at these portraits, it is as if I have seen this little niece." While Xu Nuanwen was speaking, she couldn't help but laugh and shake her head: "Your Third Uncle really has all kinds of women. Not only did they send us all these portraits, they even directly asked me for Yuanxi's full moon present."
After saying this, Xu Nuanwen glanced at Xu Yanzhu and continued, "Does your Third Uncle have anything he wants to ask you?"
"I'll take it." Speaking of this, Xu Yanzhu couldn't help but want to laugh.
Maybe it was because the annual gift she sent home was too heavy, at the beginning of the year, Third Uncle wrote that Jiang Family was indeed worthy of being an imperial merchant.
After receiving another letter, Third Uncle was worried that Yuanxi would feel uncomfortable wearing materials that were too thick, and asked if she still had the highest quality materials that she wanted to pay for this year's tribute on her Jiang Family.
However, Xu Yanzhu understood that Third Uncle would only ask him and her aunt to ask for things, and did not really want to ask for things. He wanted to share the happiness and happiness she had just obtained.
"Third Uncle asked if I have any high-quality Shu Jin. He said he's worried that if I can't get the right materials, Yuanxi will get the best of them."
"Then how did you reply?" Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, Xu Nuanwen knew that her brother was joking with Xu Yanzhu.
"Of course there are ingredients, but I would only give them to my sister if Third Uncle comes to the capital with Third Aunt and my sister." The moment Xu Yanzhu opened her mouth, Xu Nuanwen smiled and tapped her forehead.
After waiting for the two of them to laugh and talk for a while, Xu Nuanwen then looked at Xu Yanzhu and asked: "Yanzhu, why are you still not consummating your marriage with Jiang Han?"
Xu Yanzhu did not expect her aunt, who was joking with him a moment ago, to ask him about him the next moment.
She moved her lips, and in the end, decided to speak the truth, "In the beginning, it was Jiang Han who proposed this. He said that he would make me willingly fall in love with him, and then he would consummate my marriage with me." Actually, Xu Yanzhu had thought that Jiang Han would make a full marriage with him in the beginning.
Although she had resisted in the beginning, she did not expect Jiang Han to not only not force her, he had even helped her speak up for her several times in front of the Jiang Old Madame.
But now …
"Aunt, I also don't know how I should get along with Jiang Han right now. It's true that I don't like Jiang Han, especially when Jiang Han had said that he would marry me back then. But since he had already married someone else, I didn't have any good feelings towards him.
Only, I didn't expect that in these few months of marriage, even though Jiang Han and I lived in the same house, he had actually slept apart from me. Not only are you bowing to me, you are also protecting me in front of everyone in the Jiang Family. "
As she spoke till here, Xu Yanzhu sighed and continued, "I am still a virgin; any experienced woman can tell at a glance, and can't hide it from you.
After being married for a few months, I tried to observe Jiang Han, but in the end, I realized that I was simply unable to see through Jiang Han. So, I was just thinking about what you had told me before we got married, that Jiang Han was really not as simple as he looks on the surface. "
Xu Nuanwen never thought that she would have said so much just by mentioning this one sentence.
Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, Xu Nuanwen thought for a moment, then said: "But you can't keep going like this with Jiang Han. I still have your uncle's people to investigate. Jiang Han's personality change, should have happened after his first wife died from childbirth. "
After saying these words, Xu Nuanwen then looked at Xu Yanzhu in the end and said: "Think carefully about this matter, I need to send a letter to your Third Uncle in two days and ask him when he will be in the capital. If you really don't understand, then ask your Third Uncle. "
After Xu Yanzhu heard what she said, she could only helplessly nod at her. At the same time, she wondered if she would be able to discover anything after the fortunate Third Aunt came.
