An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

"This is truly a paradise..." she sighed. "It's even better than the feeling of relaxation I get when I come back from burning incense at Qingyun Temple."

Seeing that their expressions had calmed down a bit, Xu Zize spoke at the right time, his voice very soft: "Madam, would you like some water? Or a bowl of warm porridge?"

Jing Qiurong was stunned for a moment, her hand unconsciously touching her abdomen, and she hesitated, "I am... really a little hungry."

She had been drowsy and sleepy for the past two months, and only ate reluctantly for the sake of the fetus. But now she felt her stomach was empty and had a clear desire.

Jing Chunxi immediately responded: "How about steamed spare ribs? And make a bowl of black fish porridge." She remembered that there were still spare ribs and braised pork stored in the space, and the black fish in the stream were fat and delicious, so it was not too late to catch them.

Before she finished speaking, her own stomach growled softly.

Xu Zize's stomach growled appropriately, but he remained calm, even winking at Jing Chunxi. "I rushed to Qingshan Villa so early this morning that I didn't have time to eat. Is it okay for Xi'er and I to go fishing together?"

Jing Chunxi understood and hurriedly fed his mother half a cup of well water. He then stuffed two small red bean paste buns into her hands and said, "Mom, please eat first. We'll be back soon."

Jing Qiurong's lips curved into a gentle arc as she waved gently at them, "Go ahead. Mother needs a break. When you have a brother or sister... you must take a good look at this treasured land of the Fairy Aunt."

She looked at the backs of the two people who hurried away, one in front and the other behind, her eyes fell on the fluttering pink and purple gauze, and there was an imperceptible softness of understanding hidden in her smile.

In this life, as long as there is someone who loves her, my daughter will definitely be fine!

After turning the corner, Jing Chunxi couldn't help but reach out and push the tightly closed operating room door again - the cold door didn't move at all, as if an invisible wall completely separated her from the space full of modern equipment that she relied on most.

"What should I do?" A familiar anxiety surged in her heart.

This space has always been shrewd and snobbish. Every time it helps her, it always extorts a lot of money from her. But now it doesn't take a penny, which makes her even more uneasy.

Xu Zize, however, found a bamboo net bag from the side room and gently took her wrist. "Don't worry, you have to eat and you can't collapse. Let's go fishing first."

He looked calm, even with a faint smile on his lips. His eyes fell on her furrowed brows, and he gently raised his chin: "Xi'er, haven't you always been worried about your younger siblings not having enough months? Isn't this just right now?"

"But... the military doctor clearly said..." Jing Chunxi was still hesitant. Unable to enter the operating room, she always felt like she had lost the weight, and her heart was empty and uneasy.

Xu Zize chuckled and shook his head, but his tone was firm: "Xi'er asked for an operating room, and the Fairy Aunt gave it to us. The pharmacy is so well-stocked with bottles and jars, which one has ever been used unfairly for us? How could she make things difficult for you in the end?"

He saw that her face was still tense and she looked uneasy. Her temperament, which was not calm and easily worried and happy, was quite similar to Jing Qiurong who was resting in the room at that moment.

"The Fairy Aunt must be trying to make us understand that now is not the time to operate." His voice slowed down, like the gurgling of a stream. "Xi'er often says that one day in the outer space is three days in the mortal world. If we stay here for six or seven more days, won't my brother and sister be full-term? Besides, wouldn't it be safer for Madam to stay in your room?"

Thinking about the all-white, coldly glowing operating room, he thought, "It seems... that's really the truth!"

Jing Chunxi's eyes lit up, and a heavy weight seemed to have been lifted from her heart. In her joy, she was about to bend over to scoop up the fish, but she lost her balance and fell into the stream with a splash, splashing water all over Xu Zize.

"Xi'er, you..." Before Xu Zize could finish his words, he saw her standing up from the water, her wet hair sticking to her cheeks. Instead of being annoyed, she felt a cool and refreshing feeling all over her body. She simply ignored everything and scooped up the water with both hands and splashed it at him: "Brother Xiaokang, come down quickly, it's so cool!"

"You..." Xu Zize's face was splashed with water, but an indulgent smile spread in his eyes. He simply threw the net bag onto the shore and jumped into the water. "It's just right, I don't even need to take a bath tonight."

The two of them were playing and chasing each other in the shallow stream, splashing water everywhere. Their laughter scared the fish and shrimps so much that they jumped up and down. Two fat black fish actually jumped onto the shore by themselves and fluttered in the grass.

While Xu Zize was busy killing fish in the yard, Jing Chunxi quietly added a handful of dry firewood to the stove.

The flames danced, making her cheeks burn. She didn't turn around, didn't say hello, and instantly flashed out of the space.

"father!"

As she expected, her stepfather was sitting motionless on the edge of the bed, his eyes staring blankly, as if most of his soul had already flown away.

Suddenly hearing his daughter's voice but no one was there, he stood up suddenly, his voice trembling slightly: "How is your mother?"

"It's okay. As soon as he got in, he became more energetic, his complexion improved, and he even asked for food!"

Jing Chunxi spoke cheerfully, but she saw the doubt in her father's eyes, so she continued, "Dad, why don't you go in and take a look yourself? You won't think your daughter is trying to trick you. But you have to be quick."

Without giving him time to hesitate, she lightly touched his sleeve with her fingers - whoosh, and the figure disappeared instantly.

At this moment, she couldn't help but thank the non-existent fairy aunt in her heart. If her mother had really been sent directly to the operating room, she really wouldn't dare let her relatives in to visit.

She couldn't help but come up with another plan in her mind, "When my mother's belly is sutured, maybe even grandma can go in and take a look." She had even thought of this step, and felt that this was the best way to truly put her grandmother's mind at ease.

Xu Dingchun was completely unprepared. As soon as he entered the space, his feet missed the target and he fell heavily on his butt with a thud.

He hurriedly got up and looked around, only to see a house that looked almost identical to the General's Mansion. Without time to think, he stumbled inside.

After entering the front yard, most of the doors could not be opened, and there was no one open for those that could be opened. The second yard was also full of things.

However, the layout of the backyard was completely different from that of the General's Mansion - it was larger and square, as if the layout of the second courtyard had been magnified several times, standing there quietly.

"Uncle San, why are you here?" Xu Zize had just killed the fish and cleaned the rice, and was standing at the kitchen door, worrying about how to cook fish porridge.

He looked around but couldn't find Jing Chunxi, thinking she had gone to his wife's place. When he chased her out, he ran into Xu Dingchun and was startled.

"You brought me in without even telling me in advance..." Xu Dingchun rubbed his aching butt while complaining softly, but he didn't forget the main thing, "Where's your Third Aunt?"

"Here! I've already reached the door and you haven't noticed yet?"

There were so many rooms, but Xu Dingchun was standing at the door of the only one occupied by someone, unaware of it. It was not until Xu Zize reached out and pushed the door open that he suddenly came to his senses.

"Qiu Rong..." He was a tall man, and his tone was urgent and heavy just now, but at this moment his voice softened involuntarily, almost trembling.

"Why did my husband come in? There's no one guarding outside. What if something goes wrong?" Jing Qiurong unexpectedly responded even faster than him. After this break, she was clearly much more energetic. Not only did she sit up on her own, but her feet were already dangling over the edge of the bed, ready to step down.

"My lady, you absolutely cannot do this!" This scene frightened Xu Dingchun so much that his heart skipped a beat. He rushed forward and firmly grasped her arm. He couldn't help but turn around and scolded in a low voice: "How did you take care of me?"

"Husband, I'm fine. I want to go out for a walk while I still have some strength."

Only then did Xu Dingchun truly see his wife's face - he didn't know if it was an illusion, but her cheeks actually showed a long-lost redness, and the strength she used to struggle to stand up was much greater than before.

"How can this be done? Where is the fairy aunt?" he asked while looking around, still holding his wife tightly in his hands to prevent her from moving.

"I've told you it's okay, but you still expect some fairy aunt to serve me?" Jing Qiurong insisted on standing up, and her feet landed firmly on the ground. She even reached out to push away his supporting hand, but the people around her didn't let her.

"Has Xier gone out? Xiaokang has never cooked before and doesn't know how to make fish porridge. Uncle San, please take a look..." If he doesn't cook it soon, his belly will be sticking to his back. The two of them just played in the water for so long, and he felt hungrier even faster.

"Auntie knows how to cook it. I'll go and see." Before she finished speaking, she had already taken a step forward. Xu Dingchun hurriedly supported her and said repeatedly: "Slow down, slow down, there's no rush, your husband will cook it!"

Xu Dingchun was shocked beyond words.

He hadn't expected this divine abode to have such miraculous effects. Within a few hours, his wife had become a completely different person. If it weren't for her bulging belly reminding him, he would have almost thought she had never experienced this ordeal.
