When Qiao Ran heard Xu Xu's words, he couldn't help but smile and said to Xu Xu: "Thank you."
Xu Xu also smiled: "No, you're welcome."
She continued to make the medicine, and even though she didn't speak, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, which looked good.
Qiao Ran looked at Xu Xu and felt that her mood gradually calmed down a lot. She lowered her head to pick flowers and asked casually: "Have you made flower cakes and sold them on the street?"
"That's right." Xu Xu took a ladle of water, hesitated and said, "But it can only be sold for another two or three months."
Qiao Ran raised his head in confusion and asked, "Why?"
Xu Xu lowered his eyes somewhat embarrassedly and whispered, "I'm three months pregnant."
It's not that Xu Xu can't sell it, but she doesn't want to wrong the baby in her belly, so she wants to save some money in the past few months, and stay here well during the months before giving birth without straining herself. The baby will no longer suffer along with her.
After Qiao Ran heard Xu Xu's words, she was somewhat stunned and a little surprised. She probably didn't expect that Xu Xu was already three months pregnant, and she was still working. Qiao Ran couldn't calm down now. He stood up and went to help her get the ladle of water. He frowned and said, "Why didn't you say anything? I... I'll do it myself. You go and sit down."
Xu Xu smiled helplessly and said, "It's okay. I've been doing these things by myself. It's really okay."
Xu Xu said, taking the gourd in her hand again, and continued: "And I, it's been three months, but you, you have to take a good rest."
Qiao Ran stood there blankly, looked at her, then turned to look outside. He hesitated for a while, but in the end he still didn't dare to ask.
She wanted to ask... Xu Xu lives here alone, but... where is the father of the baby in her belly...
But Qiao Ran was just confused in her heart. She was afraid that Xu Xu had something to hide, and she was afraid that Xu Xu would be in trouble...
Therefore, although he was confused, Qiao Ran did not really ask.
The two of them were busy preparing a meal together, but most of it was cooked by Xu Xu. Although Qiao Ran also wanted to help, Xu Xu wouldn't let her do it, so Qiao Ran could only help her.
After eating and drinking medicine, Qiao Ran asked Xu Xu about the house in Xuecheng. Xu Xu probably understood what she meant and asked, "Are you going to... live here in Xuecheng?"
Qiao Ran nodded lightly. Apart from that, she didn't know where else she could go...
The most important thing is that she is pregnant now and should not be too bumpy.
Xu Xu said to her very considerately: "You can stay with me."
Qiao Ran didn't expect Xu Xu to be so kind, "I... I'm afraid it will disturb you."
"No, I am alone too. It's good to have one more companion here with you..." Xu Xu still told her seriously and carefully.
Qiao Ran looked at Xu Xu and had to admit that she was really... very lucky.
Even if you are almost in a desperate situation, you can still meet such kind and kind-hearted people.
But Qiao Ran didn't want to just eat and drink at Xu Xu's place, so she listened to Xu Xu's words and after resting at her place for two days, she told Xu Xu that she wanted to go out and find something to do.
Xu Xu refused at first, saying that she was pregnant not long ago, but Qiao Ran used her to refute her: "Xu Xu, aren't you doing the same thing when you are pregnant with a child?"
