When Kong Xi returned home, he found that Zhang Tao was not at home, so he guessed that Lin Jinxing had returned to the brigade, and then Zhang Tao went to play with Lin Jinxing.
Because Zhang Tao didn't go to the villagers' homes or to the educated youth center, she had no place to go except Lin Jinxing's home.
Zhang Tao was safe at Lin Jinxing's house, so Kong Xi didn't look for him immediately. Instead, he killed a few chickens, boiled hot water, plucked the feathers, cleaned them up, and then took the chickens to Lin Jinxing's house.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhang Tao, who was taking small bites of fried dough sticks. When Zhang Tao saw Kong Xi, his eyes immediately lit up, but when he turned around and saw Lin Jinxing and Grandma Lin, the joy in his heart was suppressed.
Lin Jinxing saw it and pretended not to have seen it. The pregnancy was not something she could tell Kong Xi after Zhai Duitao returned home. It was something between husband and wife.
Kong Xi gave the packed pheasant to Grandma Lin, and Grandma Lin did not refuse, leaving them to have dinner there, and then stewed the pheasant.
For dinner, there were fried dough sticks, millet porridge, chicken stewed with potatoes, vinegared red cabbage and pickles. Zhang Tao ate fried dough sticks with the pickles, and sipped porridge from time to time, enjoying the meal with gusto.
Kong Xi picked up a piece of chicken for Zhang Tao, but she dodged it, then helped him pick up a piece of potato, and then Zhang Tao threw it back, hum~!
Kong Xi didn't know what would happen to Zhang Tao tomorrow, but Zhang Tao didn't want to eat, so he didn't force it.
When returning home, Zhang Tao held Kong Xi tightly, fearing that he would fall, and his steps were much slower than before. Kong Xi wanted to say something, but was beaten by Zhang Tao before he could speak.
After finally returning home, Zhang Taoyi ordered Kong Xi to give her face and foot washing water. After washing, she lay comfortably on the kang and leaned against the quilt.
Then he raised Dongba high and looked down at Kong Xi and said, "When he tells me something, he just says it once, and I listen carefully."
The two of them would have a little flirtation before, but when Kong Xi saw Zhang Tao's performance, he immediately bent down to cooperate, "Listen, little one, please tell me."
"Ahem~, he is pregnant, already two months old."
"Ah?!" Kong Xi's shocked face froze in his flattering smile, and he didn't straighten up his bent waist. He just looked at Zhang Tao in confusion, wanting her to say it again.
Zhang Tao said arrogantly: "If he says it, he says it once, and if he doesn't, he says it once. He said it all so that I can hear it clearly. I don't listen, huh~"
Only then did Kong Xi react. Surprise suddenly surged into his heart. He climbed neatly on the kang and stared at Zhang Tao's belly. He lowered his voice and said, "Am I pregnant?"
"Hmm~."
Kong Xi hugged Zhang Tao carefully and kept saying thank you, "Thank you, thank you, he will definitely do us a favor."
Zhang Tao felt the hot tears on his shoulders, sighed and patted Kong Xi's back comfortingly. He knew that Kong Xi had a knot in his heart, but she couldn't comfort him in that kind of thing, so she could stay with him silently.
When the two of them were lying on the kang, Kong Xi stroked Zhang Tao's undulating belly and said in a low voice but firmly: "He will do good to me and the child in my belly. If he doesn't do that, he won't give birth to another child in the future."
Second child.
He will treat every child equally and be cruel to every child equally, and I will do the same, right?"
Zhang Tao said firmly: "He will make mistakes, and he will make mistakes equally for each of his children."
"Well... thank me."
Kong Xi's heart was very complicated. He had been in Dongxiang for more than a year. In the first few months after he came here, his parents would frequently write him letters, but the contents of the letters were not very good.
Does the letter ask him to buy food for them or send it to his brother Kong Bei?
