Late at night, in an expensive hotel, a newlywed couple sat nervously on the bed, cheering each other on.
"It's okay. Even if you do, let's pay more attention. I'll take care of the baby after it's born. You'd better go to school."
Listening to the comfort of the man beside her, Yi Zhilan relaxed a little, and the two of them looked up together.
Two.
Really have.
Before Yi Zhilan could react, his hand was held by Wei Mingyan. The man's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he was not at all calm as when he comforted her just now, "Lan Lan, I'm going to be a father!"
"We have a baby!"
Not giving Yi Zhilan any time to think about the future in confusion, Wei Mingyan began to plan excitedly with a smile on his face, "We want to buy a crib, children's clothes, and toys..."
By the end, he was almost incoherent.
Yi Zhilan really didn't expect her lover's reaction to be so big, after all, in her impression, Wei Mingyan's image has always been very stable, like a big tree, sheltering her who doesn't understand anything.
Proposing marriage, getting married, and coming to this strange city, he planned their future in an orderly manner, and even today's pregnancy test stick was taken out by Wei Mingyan.
But now, as he spoke, his eyes were even a little red.
Yi Zhilan was frightened, she hugged the man subconsciously, feeling a little uneasy.
Wei Mingyan leaned on her shoulder like a child. The man's magnetic and pleasant voice was a little hoarse because of excitement. He said softly, "Lan Lan, do you know? Every time I was beaten by that man when I was young, I thought, if I Once you have your own child, you must love him, love him, protect him well, and never beat him, nor let other children bully him."
"In the past, every time I saw those children holding toys in their hands, I fantasized that when I made a lot of money in the future, I would definitely buy toys for him, so that he would be envied by the whole village and envy him for having a good father."
He hugged the girl with his back, smelled the faint fragrance from her body, and said hoarsely, "Thank you for letting me be a father."
Listening to her lover's words, Yi Zhilan's heart ached, and the fear and confusion of becoming a mother for the first time in her heart gradually disappeared.
She knew that now this seemingly powerful man needed her own comfort.
The girl's slender fingers landed on the man's slender hand, and she affirmed, "By the way, you must be a good father."
Maybe it was because of talking about the past, Wei Mingyan's eyes were still red, but there was a silly smile on his face, he leaned over, and put his lips on Yi Zhilan's forehead.
She said softly, "Lan Lan, you will also be a good mother."
The two lay on the bed, leaning close to each other, turned off the light, but neither of them could fall asleep.
"I heard that the baby can move in the mother's womb, how about I listen?"
Yi Zhilan hesitated a little, "Can it really move?"
"I've heard people say it too, try it!"
So, in the dark, Yi Zhilan leaned against the wall, feeling her lover's head pressed into her flat belly, the air was quiet for a long while without any movement, she couldn't help asking, "Did you move?"
"It seems not..." Wei Mingyan replied a little disappointed, and asked childishly, "Does he not like me?"
Yi Zhilan, a novice mother, couldn't figure it out either. She touched her belly and asked hesitantly, "Is it too small?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll grow up soon." The man quickly comforted himself, and became cheerful again.
He stopped trying to listen to the fetal movement, returned to his position, hugged the girl, and coaxed gently, "Go to sleep, you have to go to school tomorrow."
As expected, Yi Zhilan fell asleep, lying in the man's arms, with her hands on her stomach, she slowly closed her eyes.
In the dream, there was a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere, and a chubby doll looked at her with its finger in its mouth.
Seeing her coming, she called out sweetly, "Mom."
Yi Zhilan walked over in surprise, picked him up, the child kissed her, and said in a childish voice, "I like Mom and Dad so much."
The girl leaned on Wei Mingyan's hand, a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Mom and Dad like you too.
***
Aunt Yi finished her work and walked back while beating her aching waist. Although Wei Mingyan gave her 3,000 yuan, in her eyes, it was her niece's money and she couldn't move it!
So the work that should be done is still the same as before.
Walking on the road, she suddenly saw a famous loud voice in the village spitting at others, "I haven't come home after a month of marriage, who knows what's so tricky, isn't it because I gave you a gift on the day of the wedding?" Three golds? I haven't seen her come out to wear them, maybe, the old third family was deceived by someone, a bastard is a bastard, how could she become a big boss."
Aunt Yi's expression sank when she heard this, she hadn't dealt with this loud voice very much, to be precise, it was the loud voice who unilaterally looked down on her.
The two are about the same age, and they both gave birth to daughters, and they were both born in one month. The first child gave birth to a daughter. In this patriarchal village, people will definitely be gossiped about.
As a result, the husband with a loud voice despises his daughter every day, and even despises the loud voice, and the confinement is not done well. On the other hand, Uncle Yi, not only does not dislike him, but he does his best to serve his wife during the confinement, trying not to let her get a little cold water.
I dare not hate my husband with a loud voice, and after such a comparison, I hated Aunt Yi. She often gossips about her. Last month, her daughter married in the city. She went to live for a week. The villagers are all talking about how beautiful Hunzi is, how much money he gave to the Yi family, and married Yi Zhilan away.
Now, as if she had caught a handle, she began to gossip all over the village, insisting that the villagers were deceived by the bastards, and the Yi family was deceived by their daughter.
While talking, someone saw Aunt Yi coming over with a hoe, and quickly poked her loudly to tell her to stop talking.
With a sullen face, Aunt Yi walked up to the loud voice, "Sanjin is going to work, so it's not convenient to bring it with you. If you really want to see it, come back with me and get it now!"
Seeing her look so confident, she was a little guilty in her loud voice, but she quickly regained her confidence, "Who are you lying to? I heard they said that the bastard gave three thousand that day. If you are really rich, why do you have to work from dawn to dusk. "
"I didn't come back for a month, and I didn't come back for three days. I think you were deceived by the bastard. Even if he is really prosperous, no one in the village knows who the bastard is. Maybe it's just like those big bosses. Same, there are women outside, and you still expect them to be filial? It's ridiculous... "
"you!"
Aunt Yi was about to get angry, when the sound of a car engine came from a distance, she was startled by the loud voice, she turned her head quickly, and saw a beautiful car driving in front of them along the uneven road.
The car door opened, Wei Mingyan got out of the car first, then went to the other side to open the door, and carefully helped Yi Zhilan who was wearing a beautiful dress to get out of the car.
"Lan Lan?" Aunt Yi rushed up to greet her, "Why are you back?"
Before Yi Zhilan could answer, Wei Mingyan said with a smile, "We bought some things in the city this month, and we wanted to get them all together and send them back. Isn't this all together? Auntie, where did you get back from?" ?”
"I just came back from the field. Hey, you didn't say anything in advance when you came back. There is nothing prepared at home. I will let your uncle kill the chicken."
Aunt Yi couldn't remember the unhappiness just now. She was very happy to see her niece who hadn't seen her complexion and clothes like the people in the city in just a month.
"Auntie, don't go to the farm in the future. Lan Lan and I will take care of you in the old age, and you and my uncle will enjoy life in peace."
Listening to her lover's words, Yi Zhilan also nodded frequently, "Yes, auntie, you don't know, he is very powerful, so he opened a company in City A, and he has many customers every day, and he can make money."
"It's good to make money, it's good to make money." Aunt Yi looked at the two lovingly, her eyes were full of joy that her niece had a good life.
"Come on, let's go home and make it clear that we bought a lot of things this time, so I promise you will be happy."
"Yes, I also bought wine, and have a good drink with my uncle tonight."
As the two young men spoke, they helped Aunt Yi into the car with smiles on their faces, and it was obvious that they respected her sincerely.
Wei Mingyan was holding a hoe and was about to get into the car when he remembered that there were still people there, and turned his head to the few people who were staring blankly at the scene in front of them and said, "Ma'am, I'll take my aunt away first, you hurry up." Let's talk."
The loud voice was completely lacking in the air he had just now, and he nodded guiltily, standing where he was, watching the beautiful car slowly drive towards Yi's house.
Sitting in the car, Aunt Yi couldn't help but look back. Seeing those people still standing where they were, she couldn't help but smile.
Who said her family Lan Lan was not filial, looking at the whole village, which old man has ever been in a car!
After a month, Lan Lan and Wei Mingyan, who went to school in the city, returned to their parents' home together.
And brought a bunch of things back!
The entire impoverished mountain village was a sensation, as if it was New Year's Eve, crowds of people went to Yi's house to watch the fun.
The people in the house were moving things, and Uncle Yi smiled wrinkled his face, and his face, which had been exposed to the wind and sun all year round, seemed to have looked younger by several years.
"I said no, I insisted on buying it. I also said that her aunt should not touch cold water when she is old. I bought a washing machine just for her. I heard that there is no one in the town. This child is honest."
"Yeah, Lan Lan went to the hospital for a check-up and she was pregnant. She expressed her joy and brought her back to tell us the good news."
Compared with Uncle Yi's implicit boasting, Aunt Yi is simpler. She stood by the door, straightened her back among a bunch of sisters-in-law and aunts, and her eyes fell on the loud voice pointedly: " Mingyan bought a mobile phone for me and her uncle, it is much more convenient than a phone call."
"Mingyan said that the child said that after buying a mobile phone, we will be able to make calls from time to time, just like chatting face to face. Look, isn't it nice?"
Several aunts gathered around, exclaiming from time to time.
"Aunt her, how much does it cost?"
Aunt Yi choked, she really didn't know how much it was.
Wei Mingyan happened to direct someone to carry the TV to pass by, so he answered with a smile, "One thousand and five, and I will also give you a phone card."
Everyone present gasped, one thousand and five!
Even if they don't eat or drink, and work hard for three years, it's not so much as one thousand and five!
With so much money, Wei Mingyan, who is only related to them as niece and son-in-law, is willing to spend it to buy mobile phones for the Yi family members!
Aunt Yi was also a little confused. This little thing in her hand actually costs fifteen thousand
Her family can't spend so much money to build a house!
Amid the compliments from everyone, Aunt Yi tried her best to maintain her calm expression, not to reveal her shock.
Her family, Lan Lan, is a college student, so she can't act like she hasn't seen the world.
Just as he was about to continue to praise Wei Mingyan, he saw a loud voice slip away from the crowd.
Wei Mingyan wobbled to Yi Zhilan's side. She was sitting on the bed curiously looking out the window. When she saw her lover come in, she turned her head and asked, "What did you say to auntie and the others just now? I saw her expression changed."
"It's okay, just let aunt show off and be happy."
The handsome man smiled, and gently approached the girl, "Give me a reward."
Yi Zhilan blushed and pushed him, but in the end she embarrassedly kissed the man's face.
