Xiao Yao originally didn’t feel anything, but when Xu said so, she instantly felt hungry and looked at Song Wan Yue with embarrassment, “I want to eat the boiled fish made by Yue’er.”
“Wait, I’ll have your eldest uncle go buy fish now, it will be ready in a moment.”
As soon as the words were finished, Xu headed out like a gust of wind, hurrying to find Song Lin.
Song Wan Yue couldn’t help but smile and tease, “Sister-in-law, this is the first time I’ve seen my mother in a breeze since I grew up.”
Xiao Yao was a little embarrassed. She regretted it as soon as she finished speaking, this was marrying into the Song family, the family all treated her like a daughter, if she had married into another mansion, she would have been said to be making things difficult for her sister-in-law if she had just gotten pregnant and let her sister-in-law cook for her.
“You go and tell your aunt, I’ll just eat tonight.”
“Just be at ease, my mother and my father are happy.”
After saying that, Song Wangyue said to Daya again, “Sister Daya, go and tell my father to buy more vegetables and have big brother come over for dinner tonight as well.”
Daya answered and ran out.
Xu found Song Lin and told him that Xiao Yao was pregnant, Song Lin was happier than she was and immediately turned his head and headed out, instructing as he went, “They are still young and have no sense of priorities, go and keep an eye on them, don’t let them touch her niece-in-law.”
When Daya ran over to say this, Song Lin was almost at the door. After hearing this, he answered, went out with a big stride, and soon came back with the purchase.
As soon as he entered the door, he put everything else down and cleared out the fish with a quick movement, calling out to Daya, who was playing the hand, to call Song Wangyue over.
She said, “I’ve bought steamed buns, so I’ll heat them up and eat them together.”
Song Wangyue couldn’t help but laugh and cry, but she obediently rolled up her sleeves, put on her apron and started cooking.
Inside the house, Xu sent Er Ya out too and asked Qing Er to guard the door while she gave Xiao Yao instructions, “Remember, don’t let Si Er come near you for three months or less.”
Xiao Yao blushed and answered.
Xu was still unsure, Song Si was at a tender age and had just got married, if they slept together, they might not be able to tolerate it for that long, “Let him sleep in the study, it’s safer.”
Xiao Yao knew that Xu was also doing it for the sake of the baby in her belly, so she nodded her head with a red face.
“The baby is not yet three months old, so don’t say anything yet, wait until after three months, when the baby sits firmly, and then tell the others.”
Xu tried to think of things to pay attention to and said whatever came to her mind, Xiao Yao listened carefully and wrote them down in her heart.
The boiled fish was soon ready, a large pot. Fearing that Daya and Song Wangyue would get burned, Song Lin personally brought it over. Although it was said that sour children were spicy, this was after all the first child of the fourth generation of the old Song family, and they liked it no matter what gender it was.
Putting the basin on the table, Song Lin greeted Xu, “The child’s mother, come out and I have something to say to you.”
Xu understood and got up to go out.
Xiao Yao was the only one left in the house.
Smelling the fragrance that she had been craving for days, Xiao Yao could not resist and picked up her chopsticks, put a piece of fish into her mouth and ate it with a big mouthful of satisfaction.
……
In the evening, Song Si came back from the court and heard the boy report that the eldest uncle’s family had arrived, so he changed into his official uniform and came over. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the fragrance and immediately felt hungry, he went straight to the kitchen, and as expected, he saw Song Wan Yue cooking, and his voice carried a smile, “Yue’er, what’s delicious to cook tonight?”
“Big brother.”
Song Wangyue looked up and shouted, her pretty eyes flashing with cunning.
“Big brother.”
Daya, who was burning the fire, also shouted out.
Only then did Song Si see her and froze slightly, then smiled and said, “Daya is here too.”
In those years, the two families seldom interacted with each other, and Song Si had been away at school, so he was not close to Daya, and as he was now an official, Daya was very much in awe of him, not as comfortable as she was in front of the others.
Song Si originally thought of going over to pet Song Wan Yue’s head, but seeing this, he didn’t go over, “You guys are busy, I’m going to go see Eldest Uncle and the others.”
“Take this plate of vegetables with you.”
Song Wangyue pointed with her chin, Song Si walked over and picked up the dishes on the table and went to the hall.
Inside the hall, Xu was talking with Xiao Yao, and Qing’er was standing outside the door. When he saw Song Si carrying the dishes, he ran up and took them, wanting to tell him that Miss was pregnant, but his mouth opened and closed, as such a big happy event should be told by Miss herself to her aunt.
Song Si heard Xu’s voice and lifted the curtain to enter, “Eldest aunt.”
“Si’er is back.”
Xu sat unmoving and greeted him with a smile, “Come and sit down.”
Song Si came over and sat down, “Where’s Eldest Uncle?”
“He’s gone to the backyard to chop wood.”
Big Uncle was always idle, so Song Si didn’t think much of it, but it was Xiao Yao who was blushing furiously. It wasn’t very hot inside the house, what was wrong with her?
Song Si did not move and glanced at Xiao Yao a few times, who noticed it and blushed even more.
Qing’er put the dishes on the table and retreated.
Halfway through the afternoon, Xiao Yao had eaten half of the pot of boiled fish, and now that she smelt the aroma, she felt hungry again and unconsciously swallowed her saliva.
Song Si could see clearly and felt that something was wrong. Xiao Yao had always behaved decently, even when faced with the most delicious food, she had never acted in such an indecent manner, what was wrong with her today?
Xiao Yao also felt that her behaviour was bad and reluctantly averted her gaze, but the fragrance kept rushing to her nose and she couldn’t help it, her eyes looked back again.
Xu is an experienced person, and when she saw this, she asked Qing’er to bring chopsticks and an empty bowl over.
“There’s no need.”
Xiao Yao hurriedly stopped it, going down there she had already been rude, now she couldn’t eat first again.
“You’re a double-bodied person now, you can’t go hungry.”
Double-bodied?
Song Si’s body jolted, ecstasy instantly overwhelming him, his words stuttering, “Yao, Yao’er, when, when did this happen?”
Xu smiled and slapped her forehead, she had felt that she had forgotten something, and it turned out that she had forgotten to send someone to tell Song Si.
“Today, today, Yue’er took her pulse.”
Song Si couldn’t help but stand up excitedly and looked at her belly, “How long has it been, is it a boy or a girl?”
Xiao Yao blushed, “I don’t know yet.”
“It’s good if it’s a boy or a girl.”
Song Si turned around the room a few times in excitement, turned around and headed out, “I’ll go back and name the baby.”
Xiao Yao pulled him back with quick eyes and hands.
Song Si was so full of his own joy at becoming a father that he didn’t react for a moment and thought she was going back with him, immediately pulling her with his other hand to help, “Be careful.”
“You haven’t met Uncle yet.”
Xiao Yao reminded in embarrassment.
Only then did Song Si come back to her senses, and blushed even as she met Xu’s smiling gaze.
Over there, Xiao An walked to the kitchen door and sniffed the fragrance wafting out from inside and inhaled his nose a few times before he respectfully voiced, “Miss Song, there’s someone outside looking for you.”
