At noon, we had lunch at the old village chief's house. After all, the house was empty now, which was quite a problem. There was obviously some tension during the meal. After all, Ling Jiyun always had a cold face, and his eyes only showed expression when he looked at Gardenia.
It will soften a little.
After dinner, she sat at his house for a while before walking to her current home. On the way, Gardenia asked: "Husband, can you smile a little more?"
"What's wrong? Could it be that the lady is immersed in her husband's smile and can't help herself?" She started laughing now.
Gardenia smiled and glared at him and said, "Young mouth, I mean you always have a cold face. Are you tired? Didn't you see that the village chief didn't dare to talk to you just now?"
Ling Jiyun took it as such and said, "I've been like this since I was a child. Isn't it too late to change now?"
Unable to convince him, Gardenia had no choice but to give up, hold his hand tightly, and walk side by side under the gentle sunshine.
Before they got home, they saw many villagers standing outside the yard. They looked at each other and immediately walked up.
It turned out to be Erwa Niang and Wen Po from the morning, and even the village chief caught up with them.
Erwa Niang hugged a thick quilt and said, "I heard that you are staying here. Look at the cold weather. I brought you a thick quilt."
"this……."
Thinking that she disliked it, but she was her family's benefactor after all, Erwa Niang said, "Don't worry, it's very clean."
Gardenia gently shook her hand and said, "You misunderstood. I just said that you are too polite. We are new here, how can we accept such a great favor."
The village chief came out and said, "You're welcome. This has always been the case in our village. When strangers come, we help each other. As time goes by, it will be fine once we get to know each other."
"Just...just...don't be polite to us." Mrs. Xia said, holding a bag of rice.
The village chief spoke again, "Lanhua's courtyard has not been occupied for a long time. Everyone is helping... By the way, I forgot to tell you that the girl who saved the second daughter-in-law and her son this morning is called Hua Zhi Niang. You can just call her Zhi Niang.
, this is her husband, his name is Ling Yun."
I don’t know whether it was Ling Jiyun who was too good-looking or whether Gardenia was special, but everyone looked a little embarrassed. However, a few brave men walked up to Ling Jiyun and said, “My name is Chang Gen, and I live in Er.
Next door to the baby, this is Sanzhu, and this is Yang Quan. If you need anything, just ask and we will definitely help."
Ling Jiyun had never seen anyone other than Gardenia who dared to talk to him like this, and she was so casual. She almost treated him as an equal to him. He stood there awkwardly, thinking about what Gardenia said just now, he smiled.
He smiled and said, "Thank you very much."
Chang Gen really patted him on the shoulder and said, "You're welcome. From now on, when we live in this village, we will be a family."
Gardenia resisted the urge to laugh. Looking at Ling Jiyun who was sure of her change, she felt sweet in her heart, even though...
After an afternoon of tossing, the yard was completely new inside and outside. Some people brought firewood, some brought rice, some brought flour, some brought vegetables, some brought candles, some brought basins and towels, and some others
Even the dishes and chopsticks were delivered.
Looking at these kind-hearted villagers, Ling Jiyun suddenly felt a sense of gratitude. This feeling had never happened before. Although it was plain, it was so refreshing. Is this the plainness that Gardenia wants? I didn't expect it to be so beautiful.
.
On the first night in the mountain village, because Gardenia was pregnant, she started vomiting as soon as she lay on the bed. She was so frightened that Ling Jiyun was so frightened that she was busy working with her in her underwear.
Finally, she stopped vomiting. When Ling Jiyun went to bed, her hands and feet were cold. Gardenia took them and covered them in her hands, saying apologetically: "Thank you for your hard work."
Ling Jiyun withdrew his hand and said, "Don't touch me, it's too cold. I'll let you catch me when it gets warmer."
Gardenia willfully took it and covered it in her hands, saying, "No, I want to share the joys and sorrows with you."
He hugged tightly the woman who made his heart beat, and kissed the woman who influenced his emotions, as if he was destined to be trapped in her tenderness and unable to extricate himself in this life.
Spring has already passed by. Peach blossoms, pear blossoms, plum blossoms, and apricot blossoms are all blooming in the courtyards of the village and on the roadsides. White, red, and pink dotted the countryside. Looking around, it is really a beautiful countryside.
picture.
The baby in Gardenia's belly is almost five months old and has a high bulge like a ball.
With nothing to do, Gardenia opened a clinic in the courtyard, and she cured almost all the illnesses in the village.
At this time, she was carefully checking Cuihua Niang's pulse. Cuihua was holding her mother, looking at Gardenia Niang and asking worriedly: "Zhi Niang, what happened to my mother?"
Gardenia wiped her hands and said: "Don't worry, your mother's blood is not flowing smoothly, so her hands and feet are often cold and numb. When you go back, boil water with astragalus and angelica for her to drink, and she will be fine in half a month."
Already."
"I know, thank you Gardenia, it's great to have you here, it saves us a lot of worry." Cuihua said gratefully to the person sitting behind her waiting to see the doctor.
Everyone nodded, and one of the old men said: "Yes, thank you for having Gardenia, otherwise I would have been suffering from many years of old problems, and I would still be lying in bed now."
Gardenia just smiled gracefully, and Erwa suddenly appeared at the door of the courtyard, holding two hares in his hands, shouting in: "Lingyun, Lingyun."
Ling Jiyun walked out of the house, dressed in coarse linen clothes, with slightly rolled sleeves. He no longer had the coldness of a border city lord, and no longer the domineering attitude of fighting for the world. At this time, he was just like a farmer in the countryside. Gardenia had always been
I was thinking, if Feng Qing and Situ Ling saw that they had changed Ling Jiyun like this, would their jaws drop?
In the past few months, he has become accustomed to laughing, because the enthusiasm of the villagers here has a magical power that cannot be harmed. "Er baby, is it you?"
Erwa picked up the two hares and said, "Here are these for you."
Ling Jiyun took it and said blankly: "Give it to me?"
Erwa added: "I happened to go up the mountain to cut firewood and caught three hares. My daughter-in-law Yulan said that Gardenia is pregnant with a child and needs to be taken care of. She asked me to get two of them for you."
Looking at Gardenia affectionately, Ling Jiyun smiled and said, "Thank you."
"You're being polite to me again. You go ahead and do your work. I'll leave first. I'll call you when I go to the fields to plant rice seedlings in the afternoon." After saying that, he trotted away because he was in a hurry to go home and hug his son.
Ling Jiyun carried the hare and smiled at Gardenia. An aunt on the side said, "Yes, Gardenia needs to be nourished. My old hen laid more than a dozen eggs. I will let my grandson do it this afternoon."
I brought it to you."
"My family also has..."
"My family also has..."
Gardenia kept refusing, but in the end she still compromised. They would always compare their feelings to anyone they asked. If you are good to me, I will naturally be good to you.
