Chapter 96: Daughter Is Not Bad Either

The next day was New Year's Eve. After breakfast, Lu Shengcai told Su Qing'an a few words and took Wu and others back to Shanghe Village to celebrate the New Year. No matter how reluctant Lu Yuzhu was, she was scolded by Lu Shengcai and left.

Wu felt very uncomfortable with her resentful eyes. If Lu Shengcai hadn't pressed her, she would have wanted her to stay in the town.

After Lu Shengcai and others left, the house suddenly seemed much emptier. The weather was too cold, so Su Qing'an didn't stay outside for long. She stayed in the house and made clothes for the children with clumsy hands.

She could barely make do with sewing and mending, but she was useless at cutting and embroidering. She just prepared some diapers, blankets, bibs and other things. She would have to ask someone to make clothes and other things when the time came.

Time passed quickly while she was busy preparing these things. Soon it was noon, and Aunt Zhou came to bring her food. She ate and slept, and when she woke up, she got up and went to Yangwei Martial Arts Hall.

Along the way, red lanterns were hung on the doors of all the shops and houses to express the festive mood. Only the Yangwei Martial Arts School looked deserted and without any festive atmosphere.

The main door was also closed. Su Qingmei knocked on the door for a long time before Xiaodouzi came to open it. Seeing Su Qingmei, Xiaodouzi was quite happy. He took the things Su Qingmei brought and led her to the inner courtyard.

"Sister-in-law, why did you come here? Aren't you celebrating the New Year with your family?"

"Are you not welcome?"

"How could that be? I didn't expect it."

"My family has gone to the countryside, and I stayed in the town because I was not feeling well.

"Oh, then don't leave later, and have a reunion dinner with us."

"Can you decide?" Su Qingmei joked.

"Yes, yes. It's just a matter of adding a set of bowls and chopsticks. And Master and his wife will definitely be very happy to see you coming. ”

In the martial arts hall, those who had families went home for the New Year, and only the homeless apprentices stayed in the martial arts hall.

When Su Qingmei arrived, she saw Ma Shi Niang sitting in front of the table with a hand warmer in her arms, tilting her head and watching Cui Yuying embroidering leisurely, while Master Ma sat next to her, holding a book and reading it peacefully. It looked like a quiet and beautiful time.

It made people reluctant to disturb them.

"Qingmei is here, come in quickly, it's so cold, why are you standing at the door to blow the wind." Ma Shi Niang greeted her happily.

Cui Yuying hurriedly got up and came to help: "It's cold and the road is slippery, why did you come here alone, what if something goes wrong?"

"It's okay, I walk slowly."

"Hurry up, take this hand warmer to warm your hands, don't freeze, the child will suffer with it." Ma Shi Niang stuffed the hand warmer in.

Su Qingmei pushed it back to her and gathered her sleeves: "I'm fine, my body is hot, I didn't feel cold at all when I walked here "

Master Ma glanced at her, turned to Xiaodouzi standing at the door and ordered: "Go tell the kitchen to prepare food for Madam Su.

"Hey." Xiaodouzi left in response.

"I came uninvited to have a reunion dinner. I hope I won't disturb you?"

Su Qingmei looked at Ma's wife's expression while talking. She saw that although she was still thin, her pale face was covered with a thin layer of pink blush today, and her sick look was not very obvious.

"No, no, we are happy that you can come." Ma's wife took her hand and patted it, smiling at her.

Su Qingmei felt a little sad for some reason. Such a good woman, God still failed her.

Master Ma brought another soft couch, and Su Qingmei and Ma's wife leaned on it. Cui Yuying covered them with a blanket and brought Su Qingmei a hand warmer. Su Qingmei and Ma's wife leaned on it and talked.

Cui Yuying sat at the end of the couch doing embroidery, occasionally responding with a few words.

Su Qingmei listened to Master Ma's soft voice recalling the past, piecing together her life as a noble lady from a wealthy family. She was noble, dignified, the mother of a family, with several sons sitting by her knees. She went between noble ladies and selected suitable marriage partners for her sons...

Su Qingmei has been particularly sleepy since she became pregnant, but she did not fall asleep even when she listened to Master Ma's gentle voice, which was as soft as the wind and rain. Master Ma fell asleep while talking.

Master Ma came in and carried her into the room. She did not wake up until Su Qingmei left.

Su Qingmei had a reunion dinner with Master Ma, Cui Yuying and a group of disciples at Yangwei Martial Arts Hall. Because Master Ma's wife was not present, everyone was a little depressed during the meal, and the disciples did not even dare to make jokes.

Xiao Douzi and another disciple sent Su Qing'an back. When they went back, Cui Yuying saw her off to the door and apologized to her with tears in her eyes. Su Qing'an was also upset.

She returned to the Lu family and refused Aunt Zhou's offer to stay with her overnight. She lay in bed alone for a long time without falling asleep.

Her mind kept turning over and over, sometimes it was Lu Bocheng who didn't know whether he was dead or alive, and sometimes it was Master Ma who was in a bad mood and forced to smile.

The next day she slept until noon, and when she woke up, she found that Xiao Douzi had been squatting at the door waiting for a long time.

Master Ma asked him to come over and say sorry for not having dinner with her yesterday, and specially picked a New Year's gift for Xiao Douzi to bring to her. Master Ma also told her to go over and talk to Master Ma and have dinner together if she had nothing to do.

"Sister-in-law, go ahead. Master's wife is a person who is prone to worrying about things. She didn't have lunch with you yesterday and she felt bad. You should go over to have lunch with her today and talk to her. She will be very happy when you go over. You are alone at home anyway."

"Okay, wait for me to pack up."

Su Qing'an packed up and followed Xiao Douzi to Yangwei Martial Arts Hall. Xiao Douzi listened to her and ran to Zhou's house to ask Aunt Zhou not to send her food.

Su Qing'an accompanied Ma Shi Niang in Yangwei Wushu Hall all day. When she fell asleep, Su Qing'an also rested, and when she woke up, she talked with her. Most of the time, Ma Shi Niang talked and she listened.

Ma Shi Niang loved the baby in her belly very much. The two of them leaned together, and her hands never left Su Qing'an's belly. Whenever the baby moved, she would be very happy and smile kindly.

At dinner, Ma Shi Niang did not fall asleep, and she and Su Qing'an had dinner in the outer hall of her bedroom.

After dinner, Su Qing'an stayed with her for a while, and only got up and said goodbye when she was tired.

Before leaving, Ma Shi Niang asked Xiao Douzi to bring her several pieces of fine cotton cloth. She said that she should take it back to make clothes for the child. Su Qing'an refused, so she had to keep it.

The next day, the second day of the New Year, Su Qing'an did not go out. Before sunset, Su Qingliu returned to the town and brought a lot of local products from her husband's home and Qiaotou Village to Su Qing'an.

Yaya jumped happily when she saw her: "Auntie, Auntie."

"Yaya, do you miss Auntie?"

"Yes, Auntie."

Su Qing'an happily hugged her and kissed her again and again. In the past six months, Yaya has been raised to be plump and cute. She can walk steadily, speak fluently, and can also speak short sentences.

"When she returned to the village, her ancestors didn't dare to recognize her, saying that she had changed a lot. The old couple competed to take her to the village for a stroll every day, and praised their little great-grandson for being plump and cute to everyone they met."

"Our Yaya is so adorable." The little thing understood the praise and proudly raised her little face to her.

Su Qing'an saw her leaning on her legs, holding a piece of preserved fruit handed over by her and chewing it in small bites. She looked so cute, and thought it would be nice if she had a daughter in her belly.

It's pink and tender, and will be loving when it grows up.
