I have been farming since I crossed over.

After a while of joking around, it was already very late at night, so everyone went to bed.

Yang Mingxi and Wu lived together in the room that Old Mrs. Wu had reserved for her.

The night was like ink, spreading thickly and gently wrapping the small room.

The moonlight filtered through the carved window lattices, casting silvery shadows in the house. Yang Mingxi gently stroked her slightly bulging belly and slowly stepped into the yard that her grandmother had prepared for her mother.

The wooden door creaked slightly, stirring up a cloud of dust and also startling my second aunt Liu who was busy in the main room.

"Xier? Aunt, are you here?" Liu looked up when she heard the voice, and the broom in her hand slipped away in an instant.

Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law. It's late at night, there's no need to clean up. You should go back and rest!"

Liu looked at Yang Mingxi, who was half leaning against Wu. She seemed really tired. She put away the cleaning tools and said with a smile, "It's almost done. You guys must be tired too. Go get some rest!"

After Liu finished speaking, she took her things and left the yard.

Yang Mingxi raised a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, but her eyes turned red quietly. She called out "Mom" softly and threw herself into Wu's arms.

A familiar warm atmosphere enveloped her, and all kinds of thoughts about Wu suddenly flooded her heart.

Because the two families lived very close to each other, Yang Mingxi never stayed overnight at Yang Laowu's house since she got married.

Now that she was at her grandmother's house, Yang Mingxi lived with Wu. She suddenly thought of her husband who had left home, the baby in her belly, the pain of morning sickness, and she felt mixed emotions.

"Let me take a look, your belly is too big."

Yang Mingxi leaned in Wu's arms. Wu suddenly felt that Yang Mingxi's belly was a little big, and she exclaimed in surprise.

"It shouldn't be big! It's been three months. Did you eat too much tonight?" Yang Mingxi stood up and touched her belly.

"Three months, that's about right." After Wu finished speaking, she stared at Yang Mingxi carefully.

Mrs. Wu leaned back slightly, holding Yang Mingxi's shoulders with both hands. Her eyes were full of love as she scanned her daughter's face and abdomen inch by inch. "You must be exhausted today. My Xier is really amazing. She is a doctor who can truly save lives."

Yang Mingxi smiled and pulled Wu's hand down. She held Wu's hand with both of hers and walked into the inner room together. She said softly, "I have all these skills, but I didn't expect to use them so soon. I hoped I wouldn't have to use them in my lifetime."

As Yang Mingxi spoke, she pulled Wu to sit down.

Mrs. Wu refused and stood up to pour tea and bring snacks for Yang Mingxi, so that Yang Mingxi could taste her grandmother's cooking.

Yang Mingxi's eyes wandered around the house. Although her second aunt Liu had just done a simple cleaning, every corner of the room was very clean. Although the whole courtyard was a bit old, it was full of warmth.

Mrs. Wu poured some water for Yang Mingxi, took two snacks and placed them on the table next to Yang Mingxi before making the bed.

The bed had been made by Mrs. Liu. It was clean and smelled of sunshine, very fresh.

Mrs. Wu pulled the bed, came over and helped Yang Mingxi to the bedside, let her lie down gently, and carefully placed a soft pillow behind Yang Mingxi before lying down side by side with her.

"Xi'er, are you used to living in your husband's house?"

In the darkness, Wu was the first to break the silence, her voice full of concern, "You are pregnant and there are many inconveniences. Is your mother-in-law taking care of you?"

Yang Mingxi held Wu's hand, squeezed it gently, and comforted her, "Mother, don't worry. My mother-in-law treats me very well. She comes to my place several times a day and doesn't let me do any heavy work. My sisters-in-law are also very kind to me."

As she finished speaking, she recalled the loneliness she felt when facing pregnancy discomfort alone, and her voice unconsciously lowered a few notes. "It's just...every time Atang left, I always felt empty inside."

Speaking of her son-in-law, Wu sighed softly and raised her hand to touch the top of Yang Mingxi's head: "This war is not up to anyone.

Atang is also trying to defend his country, and we all hope that they will return safely.

You, being pregnant, should take better care of yourself, so that Atang can rest assured. As for the business, let your brothers help take care of it."

Yang Mingxi nodded slightly, tears welling up in her eyes: "I know, mother. But every time I think of him risking his life on the battlefield, my heart aches.

I always dream at night that he is injured and can’t find me…”

As Yang Mingxi spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, slid down her cheeks, and soaked the pillowcase.

Mrs. Wu hugged Yang Mingxi in her arms with a distressed look, patted her back gently, and coaxed her like she did when she was a child: "Silly child, dreams are always the opposite.

Atang is blessed with a long life and will definitely come back safely.

You are pregnant now, so you can’t be so worried all the time. It’s not good for the baby.”

Yang Mingxi leaned on Wu's shoulder and sobbed, "Mom, I'm afraid sometimes. I'm afraid that I won't be a good mother. I'm afraid that after the child is born, Atang won't be able to come back and he won't be able to see the child for the first time..."

"Don't let your imagination run wild." Mrs. Wu interrupted her, her tone firm and gentle.

"You've suffered so much since you were little. Your grandmother even said that you've endured all the hardships in our family, and happiness followed, so you'll definitely be a good mother.

Atang must be looking forward to coming back soon to see you and your child. When the baby is born, you will have your mother to help you and you will be able to overcome any difficulties."

The two chatted in low voices, talking about everything from Yang Mingxi's reaction during pregnancy to the preparation of clothes and supplies after the baby was born.

The moonlight quietly moved westward, shining on the figures of the mother and daughter leaning on each other, outlining a warm outline.

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Mingxi's emotions gradually calmed down, and her voice was a little sleepy: "Mom, I feel much better after telling you this."

Mrs. Wu smiled and patted her arm gently. "Silly girl, why are you being so polite to me? Tell me if you have any grievances or troubles. Don't keep them to yourself."

Go to sleep, and wake up to a new day."

Yang Mingxi responded, and with Wu patting her back gently, she fell asleep without even entering the space.
