The backyard on the first floor is not connected to the front yard. There is a long corridor in the middle. The doors on both sides are locked. Whether you enter from the backyard or the front door, you have to pass through it.

If one of the two doors cannot be opened and cannot pass through, it is equivalent to adding another layer of security to the safety.

The population in the backyard is simple. There is only a mute old lady who looks after the door, and is responsible for some odd chores, such as cleaning, cooking, and laundry.

There are no chickens or ducks in the courtyard, which shows that the owner likes to be clean. Instead, he built a greenhouse to grow flowers and plants.

Building a greenhouse in Kyoto is simpler than in the north. There is no need to light a fire in a glass house. When the weather is cold in winter, a few straw mats can be laid on it to keep out the cold and keep warm.

In the greenhouse, there are vegetables, flowers and plants growing well.

There are two ancient trees in the courtyard. Half of the leaves on the trees have turned yellow. After a rain, the courtyard is scattered.

"That's right. Sometimes, we call our boss Madam. To differentiate, can we call you Young Madam?" The female waiter hinted, but Li Haitang didn't understand. She didn't know much about the Xiao family and had never imagined that Xiao Lingchuan's biological mother was still alive, so she thought the other party was trying to show her closeness, so she said without much thought, "It's just a title.

You can also call me Begonia. "

The female waiter is in her thirties. Normally for a woman of this age, her children are about the same age as her, so it’s not a big deal to be called by their first names.

Although the other party is a clerk, he is not a servant of her family. For others to call him Young Madam, it always feels a bit overwhelming.

"Please."

The female waiter first took Li Haitang into a side hall. In the side hall, a small reservoir was built on the ground. Dozens of koi carps were kept in it. When someone came in, they jumped out desperately.

One of them jumped out of the pool with too much force and rolled on the ground.

"This is raised by the owner. She often sews and sews. After a long time, her eyes are tired, so I just look at these koi to relieve fatigue."

After the female waiter finished speaking, she grabbed the koi that jumped out and threw it into the pond. She said disgustedly, "These koi just know how to jump. They can't go back when they jump out. Sometimes no one is watching, so they just die." "

Except for the water reservoir on the ground, there are flowers and plants everywhere. As soon as you enter the door, the fragrance of flowers fills the room, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

After a while, the mute granny served tea, and Li Haitang took Wufu and Ginkgo to drink tea, waiting for the female waiter to report back.

Wufu was very curious. The first floor was really strange. It was quite grand. His wife thought he was a miracle doctor that no one else could hire. He came to treat people and asked them to wait.

However, she couldn't say anything because the other party was very polite, the flower and fruit tea was delicious, the flower cake was delicious, and the man-eating mouth was short.

The master and servant were drinking tea and waiting. Here, the female waiter had arrived at Xiao's mother's room and whispered, "Are you awake?"

"Who's coming?"

The pain all over her body intensified. Xiao's mother turned sideways and squinted her eyes. This was an old problem. The female doctor who used to treat her couldn't explain why. The prescription of decoction was good, at least it relieved the pain.

But in the past two months, especially after meeting her son and daughter-in-law, she often dreamed about what happened twenty years ago. Her husband died tragically, but she was still alive.

Every time she had a nightmare, she thought she wouldn't be able to get up. Fortunately, there was someone around to take care of her.

"My boss is Li Haitang."

The female waiter made a plop, knelt down on the ground, and said tremblingly, "This time, Yuemei made her own decision and went to Zhuangzi to invite the young lady. You..."

"Yuemei, I know who you are, please get up quickly."

The person on the bed sighed quietly, and it took a long time before he said, "That's all, I'll let Haitang come and take a look. It's not for treatment, but I just want our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to be close to each other. In the future, if time is running out..."

"Madam, what are you talking about! You must be able to see that the Xiao family is ordinary. Besides, the young lady still has your grandchildren in her belly!"

The female waiter was startled. During the Chinese New Year, life and death, these are taboos and cannot be spoken out at will.

The owner is worried and sick, and if this continues, sooner or later he will die of exhaustion. She couldn't bear it after being a master and servant for so many years, so she had to go against her boss's wishes and invite Li Haitang.

At least, seeing her round belly might cheer me up and give me new hope.

"Yuemei, you still understand me. Following me for so many years has really made you suffer."

Mother Xiao was helped up. Although her face was not good, there was a faint smile in her eyes, "Lingchuan and Haitang, I have to call you aunt, you deserve it!"

Yuemei never got married, but she combed her hair and was delayed for more than twenty years in order to take care of her.

"Master, don't say that."

Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. When the young lady comes out for a visit, everyone in the family is thinking about it. It is not good for her to stay here for too long, so it is better to check her pulse first.

After a lot of trouble, Xiao's mother put on a veil and asked the female clerk to clean up the house. She was afraid that there would be some strange smell that would make her daughter-in-law feel uncomfortable, and she was also afraid that she would be sick.

"Don't worry, the house only smells of flowers and grass, and besides, you don't get cold."

The female waiter didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was the first time she saw her wife so helpless. People said it was an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her parents-in-law. But here, it was the other way around.

"You don't know, when I was pregnant with Lingchuan, I felt sick and retched when I smelled the fragrance of flowers. I knew that there must be a bastard in my belly who doesn't understand the style!"

Xiao's mother had a look of nostalgia on her face when she thought of the past. At that time, her husband was jealous for a long time when she heard that he was a brat.

In a flash, so many years have passed.

Before she could come out of her memories, Li Haitang had already entered the door with Ginkgo.

The color of the interior decoration is a bit dark, and the hanging window screens block the light from outside.

After Li Haitang's master and servant entered the door, Ging Guo first put the medicine box on the table and opened it, and then washed and disinfected his hands with his wife.

After a while, Li Haitang walked to the bed. She could clearly feel that the body of the person on the bed was shaking. She didn't know if it was because of the cold.

There was a gauze hanging, and the people inside were still covered. When they saw her coming, a pair of hands that looked a little thin came from the depths.

Li Haitang felt cool to the touch, and his body temperature was comfortable, but for ordinary people, it was a little unusual.

"Madam, is our boss serious?"

This was an inappropriate comment, and the female waiter also noticed it, but this was not the time to talk about etiquette. She was more concerned about her employer's condition.

For the past half month, the pain has been unbearable and I wake up in pain at night, which is not a good sign!

"Wait a moment."

Li Haitang felt his pulse for about a quarter of an hour, his brows furrowed. Judging from the pulse condition, his body was in serious condition and he was not optimistic.

If she simply suffered a physical loss, replenishing her body would be a piece of cake, and it wouldn't make her frown.

"Good boy, I know my body, so just tell me."

Mother Xiao was lying on the bed, staring at Li Haitang's round belly, thinking that in a few months, she would have a grandson or granddaughter. Now that her grandson has a bean bag, Xiao's mother is looking forward to a soft and sweet granddaughter. She was very disappointed when she did not give birth to a daughter.
