I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

After the stomachache incident, Mrs. Lin paid special attention to Ji Xiaobei.

I woke her up at dawn in the morning and took her out for a walk while the weather was cool.

Ji Xiaobei put on his clothes with his eyes closed and was pushed out the door by Mrs. Lin.

In the early autumn morning in Jijia Bay, there is a cool breeze, and the sounds of birds singing and insects chirping are pleasant to the ears.

There was a thin twilight mist floating over the distant mountains, making everything hazy.

From time to time, villagers who came back from cutting bamboo in the mountains would greet Ji Xiaobei enthusiastically.

After several days in a row, she gradually got used to getting up early.

Although his belly was big, his body was much lighter.

It is also written in the book Zheng Guo bought that in the end you must eat less and exercise more.

She went to the barren mountain where her home was, and after not having been there for a long time, she found that the herbs were growing well.

The small enclosed spring was still bubbling with clear water.

She scooped up a handful to wash her face, then drank a few sips. It was sweet and delicious, much better than the one in the well.

When I got home, Mrs. Lin had already prepared breakfast.

Drink a bowl of porridge, eat two eggs, a piece of coarse flour pancake, and some pickles.

After dinner, I strolled into the ancestral hall.

I went to the garment workshop and the embroidery room, and finally sat in the shed where Ji Ernai and her friends collected bamboo products, and chatted with them for a long time.

When she got tired of sitting, she would go for a stroll across the strait.

The child studied very hard, and his hair became thinner.

"Xia, don't get too tired. You pulled out so much of my hair."

Ji Xiaobei pointed at the hair on the table.

Haixia touched his head and said, "Sister, I think I might win this time?"

"Why? Because you lose a lot of hair, and the examiner feels sorry for you..."

Strait: ...

"Sister, can you please say something auspicious?"

Ji Xiaobei: Okay!

"I hope you pass the exam before you become bald!"

Haixia smiled with satisfaction and said, “Sister, I always write articles according to the method Xiaoyao taught me.

I feel like I've made rapid progress. I can now solve problems that I couldn't figure out before. Do you think the articles I write are better than before?"

Haixia reverently handed Ji Xiaobei a stack of papers.

Ji Xiaobei took it and said, "Well, not bad, your handwriting is more neat, which is a big improvement."

"Sister, I asked you to read the article I wrote." Haixia stared at her with eager eyes.

Ji Xiaobei stood up: "Ah, your room is a bit hot, I'll go out to cool down..."

Haixia held her tightly and insisted that she watch the next part.

Ji Xiaobei glared: "Ma Haixia, you did it on purpose, I obviously can't read, but you begged me to read..."

Strait: ...

"Sister, that's not what I meant. I treated you as the little one..." Haixia explained hurriedly.

Ji Xiaobei: What's wrong with your eyes? I'm two and a half times bigger than Xiaoyao...

Isn't this obviously causing trouble for people?

Strait: Sister, I was wrong!

"Sister, sister, let me tell you something. I will go to Anzhou Prefecture a few days in advance."

"Okay, go ahead!"

"Sister, I want to go find Xiaoyao and ask him to give me some pointers. I think he's a capable person!"

"Okay, I'll go with you..."

"Sister, you miss Xiaoyao too, right? I was saying that after he left, life became boring, as if something was missing. Let's go together this time..."

Ji Xiaobei: "Okay, study hard!"

Haixia: What did I say? Why is sister so angry and startled again?

Ji Xiaobei: In the later stages of pregnancy, my mood swings were quite large.

However, she had made up her mind to go to Anzhou with Haixia.

One more person makes the road safer.

"Which day do we set off?" Ji Xiaobei turned around and asked.

"Just these few days. My mother is making clothes for me. Once they are done, we will set off."

Ji Xiaobei nodded and walked out.

Haixia wondered: I am going on a scientific expedition, and Sister Xiaobei is going to discuss business?

Studying is important, so he closed the door and started studying hard, pricking his bones with needles, and pulling out his hair.

Ji Xiaobei went home to Mrs. Lin's house.

Mrs. Lin was making a small quilt and a small mattress, with two small bundles beside them.

"Bei, look at these little quilts I made. Do they look good?"

Ji Xiaobei nodded.

Mrs. Lin used the softest cloth and stuffed it with the best cotton.

This is the cotton that Mrs. Lin has treasured for many years and prepared to make a quilt for Xiaoju's dowry.

Ji Xiaobei was moved again and said, "Mom, when Xiaoju gets married, I will buy her the best brocade quilt."

"With you here, our Xiaoju will not suffer any injustice." Mrs. Lin said as she threaded the needle.

"Bei, our Xiaoju has reached the age of adulthood. A few days ago, matchmaker Gao came to the ancestral hall to find me and said that there is a good young man in Shangyou Village..."

"Mom, what do you think of the Black Tower?"

Ji Xiaobei suddenly asked.

Mrs. Lin was stunned for a moment: "He is a good person, but he does not belong to our area and will not stay here."

Ji Xiaobei nodded.

When Heita was around, he often helped Xiaoju with work, and the way he looked at Xiaoju was different.

Although Ji Xiaobei is relatively slow in his own feelings, he is quite accurate in judging other people.

The so-called authorities are obsessed with it, let the bystanders know.

But, Xiaoju doesn’t seem to have any reaction to the black tower. Maybe she has someone else in her eyes!

Ji Xiaobei thought for a moment and said:

"Mom, you should go back to Matchmaker Gao first. It won't be too late to talk about it next year. She's not that old."

Mrs. Lin nodded.

The only thing on Mrs. Lin's mind was Ji Xiaobei giving birth to a child. Only after the child was born safely would she have the energy to deal with other things.

"Mom, Strait will be leaving in a few days, I'll go with her!"

"Okay, I'll tell Aunt Song and Second Madam Ji about everything in the next few days, and then we'll go. I've prepared everything."

"Mom, don't go. I'll go with Haixia. Jiaojiao and Xiaoyao are there.

If anything happens, I will ask them for help. If you leave, what will happen to the shop at home?"

Ji Xiaobei said.

"No, I have to go. You can't go without your family. Xiaoyao and Jiaojiao are outsiders after all. If you encounter any situation, I have to help you make a decision."

Mrs. Lin was determined to follow her.

She had packed winter clothes for both of them.

Ji Xiaobei did not refuse: "Let Xiaoju and Shitou worry more about the family."

"Tell them about this tonight." Mrs. Lin bit off the thread on the quilt and finished making the last small quilt.

In the evening, they came back and heard that their mother and sister were going to Anzhou Prefecture.

Xiaoju didn't say anything, but just nodded. She knew what her sister was going to do.

"You should worry more about the things in the shop at home and be more careful about everything..."

Mrs. Lin talked to Shitou in a nagging manner.

Shitou frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Mom, I have to go!"

Mrs. Lin: What are you going to do?

Shitou: "Aunt Song and Xiaoju are in charge of our shop, so they don't need me!

The road is so long and the outside is so chaotic. Haixia is just a weak teacher and he cannot compare to me in terms of strength.

I'm worried about you guys, I have to go with you!"

After hearing what Shitou said, Mrs. Lin was at a loss.
