Chapter 318: 318 come back
Free today, more updates tomorrow! The promised seventy thousand will arrive tomorrow!
The cotton should be ready for picking. Some of the cotton bolls have already begun to crack open. Once the wheat and corn are all tidied up, it will probably be about fifteen to twenty days, and by that time, this cotton can be picked. Nothing has really been delayed.
If it could be like this every year. Tomorrow, I'll actually do it this way. I still have three kids to take care of. I can just hire people to do the farming and harvest, but I'm afraid of gossip. We'll see when the time comes. Right now, talking is just empty talk.
When I got home, I lay down again. Just standing for this short time was already very tiring. Looking at my oversized clothes, Su Yuanyuan gave a bitter smile.
Which woman doesn't love beauty? Right now, in this state, I don't even have the courage to look in the mirror.
But still insisted on taking selfies, wanting to preserve these precious memories.
After comforting herself for a while, she fell into a beautiful sleep. Now she feels especially good. She maintains a good mood every day so that the child can be healthy. Now everything she does centers around the child.
This is the change in a woman after becoming a mother. Children become their everything.
She woke up from the heat by noon. After getting up, she went straight into the space to take a shower. She felt especially comfortable in there. After showering and having lunch, she came out.
It's estimated that Zhao Yanli should be coming over. This girl comes to visit every day, and being cared for like this feels especially heartwarming.
Just as she was thinking, she heard Zhao Yanli's voice.
"Yuanyuan, how are you today?"
"I'm doing well. Director Feng went to find people for me today. It is estimated that the day after tomorrow or the day after that we can start cutting the wheat."
Zhao Yanli sat on the kang, looking at Su Yuanyuan's big belly, still a bit scared. "We'll cut the wheat the day after tomorrow, then we can help my brother and sister-in-law early."
"Is your sister-in-law about to give birth?"
"Yes, probably in these few days. By then, my brother will be exhausted, and my mother-in-law can only stay here for one or two days, as she has a lot of work too."
Zhao Yanli felt a bit worried. But thinking of her brother having another child also made her happy.
"Yuanyuan, if you're okay, I'll go back first. I need to prepare the threshing ground and press it again.
If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me. I'll come by in the evening."
"Okay, I won't hide it from you. If I feel uncomfortable, I'll definitely tell you."
With that, Zhao Yanli hurriedly left.
Because she took a nap in the morning, she didn't feel like sleeping at noon, so she leaned on reading books.
As Tan Shaoting just entered the courtyard, he heard the geese honking, and several large geese flew straight out.
Like planes, they then charged directly at Tan Shaoting.
Tan Shaoting's eyes turned red. Is this how he is being a husband?
He turned around and went into the house.
The geese were still chasing after him, showing no sign of giving up.
Tan Shaoting closed the door behind him. The geese outside kept honking, sounding very pitiful.
Su Yuanyuan was startled awake, and she groggily opened her eyes to see Tan Shaoting standing nearby.
Not believing her eyes, she rubbed them and realized it was really him.
Tan Shaoting, seeing Su Yuanyuan's actions, restrained himself from crying.
"Yuanyuan, wife."
Hearing Tan Shaoting's voice, Su Yuanyuan suddenly burst into tears.
This scared Tan Shaoting greatly; he quickly moved to Su Yuanyuan, wanting to hold her, but facing her big belly, he didn't know where to start.
"Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan, I'm back. Don't cry. Do you feel unwell somewhere?"
At this, all of Su Yuanyuan's grievances poured out. The tears just couldn't stop.
From when he left, to when she found out about being pregnant, only she knew how she had persisted.
Fear, confusion, panic—all came flooding in.
This frightened Tan Shaoting. His voice choked up. A man who has lived long finally realized how weak he could be and prone to tears.
"Yuanyuan, don't scare me. I'm back. I'm here for everything."
He embraced Su Yuanyuan's neck, rubbing his cheek against hers.
"Yuanyuan, don't cry anymore. I'm scared. I'm back now. I'm here."
"You're finally back. Why did it take you so long?"
Hearing his wife say this while crying, Tan Shaoting couldn't hold back his tears.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm back, I'm back."
Carefully picking her up, he felt she was still so light. With such a big belly, why was she still so light?
He held her in his lap, only to be kicked in the belly. He was startled.
Su Yuanyuan was still crying. She felt a bit ashamed of herself inside, wondering what was there to cry about. But she just couldn't stop the tears from falling.
"Yuanyuan, why is your belly always moving?" Tan Shaoting's voice trembled as he asked.
Su Yuanyuan suddenly laughed, seeing Tan Shaoting's frightened expression, she laughed happily.
Then Tan Shaoting felt a bit of relief but got kicked again.
Seeing Tan Shaoting tense up, Su Yuanyuan wiped her tears, "It's the baby moving, it's okay."
"Yuanyuan, does it hurt?"
"No, I'm used to it. Why are you back?" Her rational mind returned.
"I came back from a mission and found out you were pregnant. So I asked for leave and came back.
Yuanyuan, you've worked hard. I didn't know it would be like this. I really didn't know. If I had known, I would have waited a few years. I wouldn't let you suffer like this now."
This was Tan Shaoting's biggest regret.
"What are you saying? What's wrong with having kids? When you're not around, at least I'll have the children with me."
Tan Shaoting, feeling very emotional now and completely focused on Su Yuanyuan, didn't notice what she said.
"Let me go; it's too hot. Go get me some water, I need to take a bath. You wash too; you smell of sweat."
"Okay, I'll get the water. Or do you want to eat first?"
Tan Shaoting didn't know what to do.
"I'm not hungry. I just ate not long ago. You eat first."
"I'm not hungry. I'll go make you bath water first."
Actually, right now, Tan Shaoting doesn't want to leave Su Yuanyuan for even a minute. Only by holding her can he feel at ease.
But he knows his wife loves cleanliness and fears being disliked, so he quickly prepared the bath for her.
For him, preparing bath water is simple, but right now he's a bit overwhelmed, so he went outside to make a fire.
Su Yuanyuan lay smiling on the kang. With him back, she felt grounded. She never really realized how important Tan Shaoting was to her until now. Only now did she understand how much she depends on him, just his presence makes her feel confident.
