The Peasant Wife: The Prime Minister's Beloved

"Aping, Aping's wife, come here quickly!" Aunt Guo's voice was full of anxiety and joy.

Upon hearing the sound, Guo Ping and his wife almost trotted over to Chen Xi. Without waiting for a word, they both knelt on the ground with a plop. Their movements were so fast.

Chen Xi was quick to move, and quickly stretched out his hands, gently but firmly blocking the two of them, his eyes full of concern and confusion.

"Hey, what are you doing? Get up quickly. We are all from the same village. I can't bear this. My sister-in-law is pregnant, and she can't be so tired. Brother Ping, help my sister-in-law up quickly."

When Guo Ping heard that pregnant women should not do such things, he immediately became cautious and slowly helped his wife up, his eyes full of love and care.

"Mom, I know you are happy, but let's go inside and talk slowly." Chen Xi suggested gently. Upon hearing this, Aunt Guo nodded as if she suddenly understood.

"Xiao Xi, these red eggs are specially prepared for you. You must accept them. This is a token of our love." Aunt Guo took out the bright red eggs, which symbolized auspiciousness, from the basket and arranged them neatly, emitting a warm glow.

Chen Xi looked at the basket of red eggs full of affection, and her heart was moved. She smiled and accepted the gift, "Okay, thank you, Auntie. I received your kindness."

Then, Chen Xi turned to Guo Ping's wife with concern, "Sister-in-law, when did you find out you were pregnant?"

"It was about a month ago. I always felt nauseous and vomited in the morning recently. I thought it was because I was unwell. It was not until I went to the clinic in town for a check-up yesterday that I learned the good news that I was pregnant."

Guo Ping's wife said this with a happy and shy smile on her face.

When Aunt Guo heard this, she couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

"That's great, Brother Aping. You have to be extra careful to take care of your sister-in-law during this period. Don't let her get into trouble or overwork herself." Chen Xi warned.

Guo Ping nodded heavily, "Don't worry, I will do my best to take good care of her and our child."

Aunt Guo was grinning from ear to ear, "Right, right, right, Ah Ping has to be good to his wife. She is now a great contributor to our family! If he dares to do anything bad, I will be the first one to not forgive him, haha."

Although Guo Ping was an adult, he still felt a little embarrassed by his mother's joke, and his cheeks turned slightly red.

At this time, Xie Tianyi was attracted by the laughter in the main room. Thinking of himself as an important member of the family, he walked out.

"Congratulations to Aunt Guo, and also to Brother Zhao and his wife. It's really a double happiness." Xie Tianyi's face was also filled with sincere blessings.

Upon hearing this, Auntie Guo made another request, "Xiao Xi, after the baby is born, it will still be up to you and Xiao Xi to name it. You can't refuse."

Chen Xi and Xie Tianyi smiled at each other. They understood that Aunt Guo hoped that the child would remember this kindness, so they readily agreed.

At this time, Xiaoyang and Xiaochen also came over, staring at Guo Ping's wife's bulging belly with round eyes, and asked curiously, "Mom, is Aunt Guo pregnant?"

"Yes, there is a little life growing in your Aunt Guo's belly, like a magical little baby." Chen Xi answered gently.

"Then how did Aunt Guo put the baby in her belly?" The two children's innocent questions stunned the adults present.

Chen Xi thought for a moment and decided to answer the children's doubts in a simple and beautiful way. "This is because Uncle Guo loves Aunt Guo very much. Their love is like magic, which made this baby grow in Aunt Guo's belly. He is the fruit of their love."

Xiaoyang and Xiaochen nodded as if they understood, and Xiaoyang continued seriously, "Then Daddy also loves Madam very much, so we, Xiaoyang and Xiaochen, came into this world because of love, right?"

Chen Xi smiled, his eyes full of tenderness and pride, "Yes, you are all proof of Daddy and Mommy's love, and the most precious gift."

Chen Xi glanced at Xie Tianyi awkwardly, with a barely perceptible hint of shyness in his eyes.

It was already quite rare for Xie Tianyi to not hold a grudge against the original owner, so how could he dare to expect any love from her?

His face was calm, yet a hint of tenderness was revealed inadvertently.

"Xiao Yang is right. Daddy and Mommy love each other very much, so you two were born." Chen Xi whispered softly.

Her voice was soft but firm.

"I understand. In the future, we must find a good wife like mom and have a baby." Xiao Chen's innocent words made everyone present burst into laughter.

That laughter was clear and hearty, reaching deep into the soul.

When Xie Tianyi mentioned that they had a harmonious relationship before, Chen Xi did not think much about it. He just thought that he wanted to make the children feel at ease and avoid leaving a shadow in their young hearts.

She could naturally understand Xie Tianyi's good intentions, so she didn't get too sentimental and was more grateful in her heart.

Seeing this, Aunt Guo stopped disturbing Chen Xi who was immersed in the happy atmosphere and slowly left the courtyard with her group of children.

Before leaving, her eyes were full of blessings and envy for this small family.

"Will we have red eggs tomorrow morning, Mom?" Xiaoyang's voice was full of anticipation.

"Okay, if you want to eat it, I'll make it for you." Chen Xi answered gently.

The next morning, the two children held the hot, brightly colored red eggs in their hands and ate them with relish.

These past few days, Chen Xi and Fang Wenfu's lives seemed exceptionally peaceful.

Either he was carefully preparing various medicinal herbs in the sunny yard, or he was spending pleasant afternoons with Xiaoyang and Xiaochen.

Xie Tianyi stayed indoors every day, concentrating on reviewing his lessons in preparation for the upcoming provincial examination.

Time was running out, less than a year, and he knew this was a critical moment to change his destiny.

Whenever his eyes felt tired from reading for a long time, Xie Tianyi would temporarily put down the book, play with his children, or relax himself.

That day, Xie Tianyi lay on the bed, letting his thoughts wander freely. This unprecedented peaceful life made him feel inexplicably satisfied.

For a moment, he actually felt a little greedy for this peace and tranquility, imagining that it would be a good choice if his family could live a simple and happy life like this.

But soon, reason brought him back to reality, and he shook his head, reminding himself that he was not the children's biological father.

Although he cared deeply for the children and had sincere feelings for them in his heart, they had been separated after all, and the time they had spent together made him deeply realize that Chen Xi's personality was definitely not the kind of woman who was willing to be content with the status quo and stay at home to take care of her husband and children.

Putting aside these distracting thoughts, Xie Tianyi's heart was once again filled with the urge to create.
