Chapter 1128: Chapter 1128: Life
After lunch, it was Xu Hongbing who cleaned up.
Then he sat on the side shelling corn. Over the past two years, his hands had become calloused, so even shelling corn didn’t hurt.
Zhao Xiaojing was coaxing Liantang to sleep. The child was quite well-behaved today, probably because there were people at home, and he hadn’t gotten used to it yet.
She looked at the back of Xu Hongbing sitting on the side. He really looked much thinner, and she knew he couldn’t have come back in such a short time.
Yesterday, he said he was released early because of good behavior.
Good behavior must mean he’s willing to work hard, right? If he hadn’t made mistakes, nothing would have happened. No one can be blamed for the current situation.
Actually, Xu Hongbing was already very tired now. He didn’t sleep well the night he returned.
He was liberated again yesterday after returning, and took a turn this morning, but he still kept going.
After the child fell asleep, Zhao Xiaojing got up too. She sat across from Xu Hongbing and started shelling corn as well.
Xu Hongbing looked at Zhao Xiaojing like this, "I won’t let you suffer anymore."
"Alright, others don’t believe you, but I do."
Xu Hongbing smiled. He really wouldn’t do such things in the future.
"I believe you. You’re tired too, go get some sleep, I’ll manage slowly by myself. I’ve handed over the task already, now it’s just preparing for the children, it’s not urgent."
Xu Hongbing smiled again, put down the corn cob in his hand, and pulled Zhao Xiaojing, "Let’s rest together, since it’s not urgent, I’ll do it myself in the future."
When Xu Hongbing held Zhao Xiaojing again, he sighed contentedly. Actually, it’s not that he loved Zhao Xiaojing deeply; he just wanted a stable life now.
When the child woke up, Zhao Xiaojing also groggily woke up, seeing Xu Hongbing still deep asleep, she gently told Liantang to be quiet, and they sat on the side continuing to shell corn.
Children definitely don’t like staying indoors. Zhao Xiaojing got him dressed up, held him and went outside.
She treated this child much better than she did Haifeng.
Xu Hongbing smiled on his face, turned over. He had long guessed that the care Haifeng didn’t receive was irreparable, but he had a way for this.
In the evening, Xu Hongbing still held Zhao Xiaojing. Now he can only let her have another child, that would solve things.
After intimacy at night, Sun Yun said to Zhao Qingxiang "I want to go to the hospital and have a look."
"What’s wrong? Feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"No, after so many years, why hasn’t my belly shown any sign?"
Zhao Qingxiang sighed. "Alright, we’ll go to the city tomorrow. Also give Xiao Li a call to let her know."
"Okay."
The next day, Zhao Qingxiang went to find Zhao Qingjie, asking him to come feed the pigs at noon, while the couple took the carriage and left.
It hadn’t snowed yet this year, but the weather was dry and cold, very dry and cold. The wind on the face felt like being scraped by knives.
Sun Yun didn’t feel anything out of the ordinary; she just wanted to have a checkup at the hospital. Although she always said she had given up hope, she still hoped to have a son.
Now having a son would also satisfy a desire.
The two arrived without rushing. By the next morning, they reached the city.
"Let’s go have some fried dough sticks, they’re nice and warm. And have a bowl of tofu pudding."
Sun Yun nodded with a smile. Only after the couple had their fill did they go to the hospital.
After examining all morning, they found no issues.
Sun Yun looked dispirited, "There’s nothing wrong with my body. After all these years without children, could it be that even God doesn’t want me to have a son?"
Zhao Qingxiang patted her shoulder "Don’t overthink, it’s just that the timing isn’t right yet."
Sun Yun sighed, what else could she do?
"As long as there’s no health issue, isn’t that fine? Just wait. Besides, it’s not necessary to have a son, even if it’s another young woman, it’s okay.
Xiao Yun, see our three young women, they’re more outstanding than all their children. Don’t overthink it, maybe it’s because you think too much." Haven’t the elders said it—the more you hope, the easier it is to get disappointed.
Sun Yun nodded blankly. "Fine, I won’t think about it anymore, young woman it is."
Pulling along his dispirited wife, they went to a restaurant for a meal, as Xiao Li wasn’t at work during this time. They waited until after eating to make a phone call; after all, the post office also had meal breaks.
At noon, each had a bowl of noodle soup, Sun Yun ate one bun, and Zhao Qingxiang ate two.
After eating, they asked for a bowl of hot water, and said some nice words, filling the thermos with hot water, buying ten buns to eat on the road.
Zhao Qingxiang also fed the little donkey well, before heading to the post office to make a phone call.
Zhao Yanli was quite surprised to receive the call from her brother.
"Xiao Li, don’t worry, everything’s fine at home, just letting you know mom and dad and Second Brother’s moved in together, no need for me to take care of them anymore."
"Big Brother, did you have a falling out?"
"Nothing major, don’t worry. Also, Xu Hongbing is back. And Xiao Jing still willing to live with him.
Xiao Li, don’t rush, Second Sister is already over thirty, knows what she’s doing. It’s her own business."
Zhao Yanli took several deep breaths, knowing her brother was right.
"Alright, I understand. Whatever she wants to do, let her. I told her last time when I went back, her business is not my concern anymore."
"Okay, as long as you understand. Also, discuss with your Big Sister whether to tell Hai Jun."
"Got it, Big Brother, mom and dad have been muddleheaded their whole lives, don’t stoop to their level."
"Of course I know, don’t worry, I’m fine, that’s all." With the phone bill so expensive, brief words will do.
After Zhao Yanli hung up the phone, she angrily drank a large gulp of hot water and got burned.
In her heart, she cursed Zhao Xiaojing wildly, really she had no heart indeed, but Big Brother was right, that was her own business, and she’s already over thirty, mom and dad didn’t care, it’s better not to meddle in other people’s business.
Thinking about her parents, she remembered them not living with Big Brother but moving in with Second Brother. The sisters all knew Second Sister-in-law was too cunning, worse than Big Sister-in-law, yet didn’t understand what mom and dad were thinking.
After work, she mentioned it at home, then went to find Big Sister.
Zhao Yanping heard her little sister’s words and sighed. "Just let her live her own life. Don’t interfere, don’t speak."
"I know, I’m not keen on her business either? She’s as muddleheaded as mom and dad. You say, it’d be so much better living with Big Brother."
Zhao Yanping sighed, thinking it might be because Big Brother didn’t have sons, but Qing Jie had two. They probably wanted to help Qing Jie, but couldn’t they just go with Qing Jie initially? How would that make Big Brother feel? Really too muddleheaded.
Zhao Yanli understood too, feeling very displeased inwardly, wondering how Big Brother would manage them in the future? Wasn’t this poking at Big Brother’s back? Always saying granddaughter-like, but then doing such a thing in turn, really speechless.
