Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

The carriage was shaking slightly. Song Guanwen closed his eyes and thought that Lin Xi on his shoulder had fallen asleep, but suddenly he felt a slight vibration from the fabric against his shoulder.

"If...if..." Lin Xi's voice was extremely low, as if she was afraid of being heard. With a familiar stutter, she spoke intermittently into his ears, "...if you want...then...then when we...get to the capital...I...I..."

Song Guanwen's eyelashes trembled suddenly, he opened his eyes in surprise, and subconsciously wanted to turn around to look at her.

But before he could focus his vision, it suddenly darkened in front of him, and a sweet jasmine fragrance instantly filled his nose. Song Guanwen was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Lin Xi had covered his eyes with her hands. He could not help but close his eyes obediently.

"You... don't look!" Her voice rang close to his ear, with a hint of shyness and toughness, but then, that toughness quickly softened like a popped balloon, turning into an almost whisper, with the courage to risk it all and a deeper sense of shame.

"...We...have been married for so long...We could have...done that...that..." At this point she took a deep breath, her voice becoming softer and softer, almost a whisper, "...Even if I'm pregnant...I'm not...afraid..."

Lin Xi's palms were very hot, carrying her unique scent, soft and warm, and slightly damp. However, these hands, which were so steady when planting and cutting rice in the fields, were now trembling violently. It was obvious how much courage its owner mustered to say such embarrassing and annoying words.

Song Guanwen's heart suddenly softened like a pool of spring water, spreading out gently.

"fool."

Song Guanwen sighed as if resigned to his fate, reached out and pressed her hand that was covering his eyelids, took her wrist, and hugged her in his arms.

In the past two years, with the relaxation of policies, although the educated youth are still unable to return home, they are allowed to go home to visit their families during the New Year.

The day after the two of them opened their hearts to each other, Lin Xi wrote a letter to her parents who lived thousands of miles away. When she went to visit her relatives at the end of the year, she even took Song Guanwen back home directly.

Although no one knew what method Song Guanwen used to force the two elders of the Lin family, who were initially awkward with him, to gradually change their attitude, the final result was that on a sunny day, the young couple walked hand in hand into the door of the marriage registration office and successfully obtained their marriage certificate.

The wedding banquet and the betrothal gifts were all paid for out of Song Guanwen's own pocket. Lin's father and mother really loved their daughter and did not ask for a huge amount of betrothal gifts. They just accepted some symbolic gifts according to the custom of the neighborhood, and most of these gifts were stuffed into Lin Xi's bag when she returned.

As for Song's father, although he had almost forgotten his son since the day Song Guanwen went to the countryside, when he knew that Song Guanwen had quietly arranged all the matters related to the wedding and only notified him to bring his whole family to attend, he still couldn't help feeling embarrassed and complained about it.

But in the end, no one knew what means Song Guanwen used, but his father with a sullen face and Hu Yun with an embarrassed look still appeared at his wedding banquet with Lin Xi.

After the visit, Lin Xi and Song Guanwen set foot on the land of Hongguang Brigade again. The difference from the past was that this time they had two marriage certificates with red seals in their bags, becoming a legal couple with a legitimate name and a certificate to work.

However, although it is legal, Song Guanwen may have witnessed with his own eyes the scene of educated youth who gave birth in the countryside and almost died of dystocia because of the backward medical conditions and were not sent to the hospital in time. He was afraid that Lin Xi would repeat the same mistake and meet with an accident.

Or perhaps both of them knew clearly in their hearts that if they rashly conceived a child when their future was still uncertain, it would be a huge and irresponsible risk for Lin Xi's body and mind, as well as for the little life that might come.

Therefore, although the two of them were usually very affectionate and inseparable, as close as honey and oil, and wanted to stick together all the time, even walking side by side to work, when it came to the critical moment of deep affection and closeness, they both abruptly stopped and never really took the most intimate step.

However, the tacit restraint between the two of them became a striking sight in the eyes of outsiders who were unaware of the situation.

In this era when the concept of birth control was not yet popular and every family wanted to have many children and grandchildren, a newlywed couple like Lin Xi and Song Guanwen, who were as sweet as honey and sticky as one, had been married for two years, but the new bride's belly still showed no movement. This situation naturally became a good material for gossip after dinner in the eyes of others.

Some people secretly sneered and muttered that Song Guanwen was a "silver-coated spear head" who looked bright and energetic but was actually useless. Some people whispered to each other and privately speculated that Lin Xi was a "dry land that does not sprout" and was born unable to produce seedlings.

Even Chen Lan, who was always calm and treated Lin Xiru like a sister, couldn't help but pull her to a secluded place privately and asked worriedly, "Xixi, tell me the truth... Is your Song Guanwen... not very capable?"

Her and Zhang Jianguo's child can crawl on the floor now, so she didn't feel any taboo about talking about this kind of thing. She looked at Lin Xi with concern in her eyes, "Don't be embarrassed, take him to the county hospital right away, don't be shy about seeing a doctor!" These words made Lin Xi blush with embarrassment and she ran away.

Of course, no matter whether it was malicious gossip or kind and caring reminders like Chen Lan's, as time went by, after everyone saw that the couple, although they had no children, were still as much in love as ever, and their love was even sweeter than when they first got married, the voices of speculation and discussion gradually subsided like water waves.

Because of this, Lin Xi never expected that until the day they packed up and left the Hongguang Brigade completely, Aunt Guifen was still worrying about this matter for them.

"fool."

Song Guanwen's unspeakably gentle voice came from above her head, causing her chest to vibrate slightly. Lin Xi buried her hot face in his chest, gently circling his palm with her fingertips, and spoke in a whisper.

"I'm not stupid. Once we settle down in the capital, I'll..." At this point, her ears reddened suspiciously, and she rubbed her face deeper into Song Guanwen's arms, as if to hide herself, "I want... you."

Song Guanwen, who was gently stroking Lin Xi's hair, paused when he heard the words. His Adam's apple rolled and he lowered his eyes to look at Lin Xi's earlobe which was red as if it was about to bleed. He arched his back imperceptibly, lowered his head and placed a kiss on the top of her head, and said in a hoarse voice.

"it is good."
