Chapter 180 Xiaodouzi goes to school
The next day, taking advantage of the cool weather in the morning, Shi Qingqian and A Miao brought Xiaodouzi to the open space where they were going to sow seeds.
Little Bean excitedly took the small shovel and couldn't wait to start sowing.
"Auntie, Aunt Miao, let's plant the seeds quickly," Xiaodouzi said happily.
Shi Qingqian and A Miao smiled at each other, and began to teach Xiaodouzi carefully how to sow seeds. They gently placed the tiny seeds in the soil, and then covered them with a thin layer of soil, as if they were planting hopes.
While they were busy, Sister Zheng and Sister Yang came together.
Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Yang saw Shi Qingqian and the others busy in the fields from afar, and both of them walked towards them quickly with smiles on their faces.
"Sister Qingqian, you have been busy since early morning." Mrs. Zheng said cheerfully.
Sister Yang also smiled and nodded: "It looks really lively."
Shi Qingqian straightened up and responded with a smile: "The sisters-in-law are here, we are taking the little beans to plant the seeds."
"Little Bean, say hello to your aunt."
When Xiaodouzi saw Sister Zheng and Sister Yang, he greeted them politely, "Hello, Auntie."
Sister Yang looked at the cute little Douzi and said with a smile, "I heard Sister Zheng say yesterday that you were back. This child is growing up really well. I wish the one in my belly could grow like this too."
When Mrs. Zheng heard this, she quickly said, "Of course you can. Don't worry. You and Commissar Wen are both good-looking. Just look at your eldest and second children. When the baby in your belly is born, it will definitely be good."
Little Bean blinked his big eyes and asked curiously, "Auntie, are you pregnant?"
Sister Yang gently touched her belly and replied with a smile, "Yes."
"That's great, my mother is pregnant too," said Xiaodouzi proudly.
The mother he was talking about was Shi Qingqian.
To the outside world, Xiaodouzi is the adopted child of Shi Qingqian and Xu Huaian.
So Shi Qingqian taught Xiaodouzi to call her mom and Xu Huaian dad in public.
When Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Yang heard this, they showed a look of surprise on their faces.
"Sister Qingqian, do you have good news?"
Shi Qingqian smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Well, I just found out not long ago. It's still early in the month so I didn't tell anyone."
Mrs. Zheng nodded in understanding. "I understand. We do need to be careful in the first few months, but this is such a happy occasion."
"Yes, we were all worried before that Captain Xu didn't have anyone close to him. Now that he has you, and you have a child, the big stone in our hearts has finally fallen to the ground."
"Sister Qingqian, you have to take good care of yourself. Once the little one is born, the house will be full of fun."
Shi Qingqian smiled and nodded: "Thank you sisters-in-law for your concern, I will take good care of myself."
Sister Yang also said: "If you need any help, just let me know. We are all family."
Xiaodouzi listened to the adults' conversation, tugged at Shi Qingqian's clothes tightly, and said with sparkling eyes, "Mom, I will help take care of my younger brothers and sisters in the future."
Sister Yang took Shi Qingqian's hand and said seriously, "Qingqian, you must not be careless in the early stages of pregnancy. You must walk carefully and avoid bumping into things. You must also pay attention to your diet and avoid eating raw or cold foods."
Mrs. Zheng also nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes, and also, don't overwork yourself. Don't do heavy work like this. Leave it to the men in the family. You have to take good care of yourself during pregnancy so that the baby will be healthy when it is born."
Sister Yang continued, "You need to get more rest and be in a good mood. Don't be upset. If you feel uncomfortable, go see a doctor immediately."
"Oh, and wear loose, comfortable clothes that don't squeeze your belly. And wear flat shoes for stability."
Shi Qingqian listened carefully to the instructions of her two sisters-in-law, and her heart was filled with emotion. She smiled and said, "Sisters-in-law, I have remembered everything. Don't worry."
……
The three of them chatted for a long time.
Sister Yang looked at the well-behaved Xiaodouzi and asked with a smile, "How old is Xiaodouzi this year? It's time for him to go to school, right?"
When he heard about going to school, Xiaodouzi's eyes brightened up a bit.
He used to go to school, but then something happened at home and he couldn't go to school anymore.
Shi Qingqian gently touched Xiaodouzi's head and replied, "Xiaodouzi, it's time for you to go to school. We are planning to do that. Huai'an has already made arrangements. We hope that Xiaodouzi can study well in the school in the military district."
Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Yang looked at each other. The school in the military district taught well and the teachers were serious and responsible. However, due to Xiaodouzi's identity, he might not be able to get in.
"Qingqian, don't worry. Going to school is a big deal. This is easy to handle. Let my old Liang go and tell the school. We can't delay the child's schooling in any way."
Shi Qingqian showed a grateful smile on her face, but still shook her head.
"Sister-in-law, I appreciate your kindness. Huai'an said that he would take care of Xiaodouzi's schooling. Although it was just a matter of words, it would not be good to disrupt the discipline of the army."
After hearing what Shi Qingqian said, Zheng's wife showed appreciation in her eyes: "Sister Qingqian, you are right. Captain Xu is reliable. Xiaodouzi's schooling problem will definitely be solved."
Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Yang chatted with Shi Qingqian for a few more words, then got up and left.
"Sister Qingqian, we won't disturb you anymore. Just take good care of your baby," said Mrs. Zheng with a smile.
Shi Qingqian nodded and said goodbye: "Thank you, sisters-in-law, take care."
After seeing off Sister Zheng and Sister Yang, Shi Qingqian turned around and saw A Miao and Xiao Douzi continuing to bury the seeds carefully.
Xiaodouzi looked focused, his little face full of anticipation.
Ah Miao's movements were gentle and skillful. While guiding Xiaodouzi, she whispered words of encouragement.
The sunlight shining on them seemed to add a warm glow to the picture.
At noon, Xu Huaian came back with steady steps.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Shi Qingqian sitting in the yard with a gentle smile on her face.
"I'm back," Xu Huaian said as he walked to Shi Qingqian.
Shi Qingqian quickly stood up and asked with anticipation in her eyes, "Huai'an, how are things going at school?"
Xu Huaian smiled and said, "The school has already made arrangements. I'll take Xiao Douzi to school this afternoon to meet the teacher."
"I'll go with you," Shi Qingqian felt happy and turned to look at Xiaodouzi.
When Xiaodouzi heard the news, he ran over excitedly.
"Uncle, can I really go to school?" Xiaodouzi asked expectantly.
Xu Huaian squatted down, touched Xiaodouzi's head, and said affirmatively: "Yes, Xiaodouzi, we will go to school in the afternoon."
