Fight the Giants

  Chapter 478 Time is like water

  One morning, Gong Ziyi left Huai'an with a letter.

   And Huo Xi, returned to the capital.

   "It can be counted as coming back. Both mother and your father are worried!" Yang hurriedly greeted him.

   "Is everything going well?" Qin Huaiyu also followed Yang with a big belly, expressing concern.

  Huo Xi smiled and nodded: "It's all right. Auntie, you should be more careful."

   "It's okay. The pregnancy is fine. The doctor said to move more, so I will come over and talk to your mother every day, and chat with some women who have childbirth experience in the alley. I will walk and move every day."

  Qin Huaiyu stroked her bulging belly with a look of happiness.

   "Sister, sister, hug. An An misses her." An An grabbed Huo Xi's clothes and stretched out her hand to hug her.

   "An An misses my sister? My sister misses An An too." Huo Xi leaned over and picked him up.

  As soon as Xiao An'an got into her arms, she hugged her neck and lay on her neck, so obedient and so cute that people couldn't love her.

  Ms. Yang patted his little butt: "Sister Ni just came back, she's tired."

   "It's okay, mother, I'm not tired."

  When An An heard this, she turned her head and lifted her chin towards Yang Shi, snorted, and lay back on Huo Xi's shoulder.

  Qin Huaiyu looked at him tenderly, it would be nice to have a son as obedient and lively as An An. It's just that the doctor said it might be a girl. But the daughter is also good, the father said he likes the daughter.

  Mr. Yang called An An down: "Don't lie on your sister, come down to accompany your aunt, maybe let your aunt look at it twice, and give birth to a younger brother to play with you."

   "It's my sister!" An An argued loudly, she didn't want a younger brother.

   "You child." Yang bared her teeth at him, and An An hummed dissatisfiedly at Yang Shi, she was a younger sister, and he wanted a younger sister.

   "Mother, younger brothers and sisters are all well. Uncle and aunt are just in their prime." Huo Xi was afraid that Mrs. Yang would have any opinion on Qin Huaiyu. Qin Huaiyu doesn't have a mother-in-law above her, and this elder sister is the same as her mother-in-law.

   "It's good to bloom first and then bear fruit, like you and Nian'er An'an. Aren't I afraid that your uncle will sneak out to sea." I hoped that she would have a son first. Yang shi supported Qin Huaiyu's arm, fearing that a bad eye might throw her off.

   "Sister, Yang Fu likes his daughter."

Yang laughed when she heard this: "When he was young, he followed Xi'er behind him, like a worm, and said that Xi'er was too determined, and it would be better if he was younger. I'm afraid he has been looking forward to raising a daughter since he was a child. .”

  Everyone laughed.

   "Where's my dad?"

   "I delivered the goods back to Zhuangzi two days ago, and I will be back today."

  Huo Xi nodded.

   It wasn't until the family sat down that Yang and Tai Huaiyu knew what happened in Huai'an. They were silent for a while, and sighed together.

   "Xi'er, don't be sad, there are so many good men in our capital, why do you have to look far away. Don't worry, my mother will let the word out tomorrow, I'm afraid the threshold will be broken if someone comes to our house to ask for marriage."

  Mr. Yang is very angry, her daughter is so good, the Gong family is blind, she still doesn't like her daughter, she still doesn't like them!

  The young master of the Gong family is also useless, hmph, next time I won't let him come to eat.

Qin Huaiyu comforted: "Xi'er, a big family has always valued their family status. If you don't succeed, you can't. If you marry by force, you won't get a daughter-in-law that your mother-in-law likes. Life will be difficult in the future. Look at my sister, go back to your mother's house now. That family didn't even send a servant or a car. They gave my sister a bad face every day, and the mother-in-law kept stuffing people into my brother-in-law's room. If it wasn't for my two nephews, my sister might be Can't stand it."

Mrs. Yang also sighed: "Yes, Xi'er, mother thinks it's easy to find a household with a few layers of mother-in-law on top, and a young couple lives behind closed doors. Such a family is the best. Like your uncle and aunt In this way, the mother feels very good."

  Qin Huaiyu couldn't stop nodding.

  Her husband's family is not as good as the one her sister married into, but her husband-in-law only has her in his eyes, and he only wants to live with her. She is so lucky to be able to marry into the Yang family.

  Life is comfortable, and I can take care of my grandfather and younger brother, and now I can help my sister and two nephews. No matter how high the gate is, it's useless to live comfortably.

   "Don't be sad, Xi'er, my aunt will help your mother choose a good son-in-law for you, better than the Gong family."

   "Yes, your aunt is right. Mother will let the word out later."

  Huo Xi hurriedly said: "Mother, let me slow down. I don't want to go out too early."

  Seeing that Huo Xiyi's mood was fading, Yang Shi and Qin Huaiyu had no choice but to stop talking. Afraid that she would be hit, he only comforted her with good words, and told her about the good things that happened during this period to cheer her up.

  Ningxiu heard about this from Xia He, and hurried to her: "Miss, don't be sad. That palace family is not good enough for you. The girl has a noble status, how can she be worthy of a merchant family?"

   "I'm just a small merchant now."

  "You're not!" Ningxiu retorted loudly, "Your status is noble, and your grandfather's family is also noble. You will have a good future."

  Seeing her concern, Huo Xi was moved, and smiled at her: "Well, I will weigh it. How is the preparation of the Zhifang?"

   "The place has been cleaned up, and the loom has been ordered, but it has not been delivered yet. Now I am looking for a weaver girl, and I have found a dozen people. They have tried it all. Do you want to see it?"

  Huo Xi shook his head, "Since you have been fully responsible, I will let go of it. If we can bring more silk to the ship going to the East and West, we can also sell more silver."

   "Yes. The servant girl understands. The servant girl will definitely do her best to run weaving and spinning well."

  Huo Xi nodded with satisfaction, she did not doubt Ningxiu's loyalty, the whole family was available.

  At night, Huo Nian pestered Huo Xi, insisting that his sister tell him stories.

  After Huo Xi finished telling him the story, she turned to look at him: "Nianer, you are almost nine years old."

  Huo Nian nodded: "Well, Nian'er will be nine years old next month. Sister, what gift will you give Nian'er this year?"

  Huo Xi scratched his nose: "I was thinking about the gift." The siblings made a fuss, and after putting him to sleep, Huo Xi looked at him quietly, Nian'er was already nine years old.

  The next day, Huo Xi packed up for Huo Nian and sent him and Mu Jie to the school.

  Turn around and call Huo Erhuai and Yang Shi into the house, and order Mama Mama to watch outside the house, Huo Xi helps him and his wife to sit on the head.

   "What's the matter, do you have something to tell your parents?"

  Huo Erhuai heard Yang's story about Xi'er going to Huai'an last night, and he couldn't stop feeling distressed. Tossing and turning, I didn't sleep much all night. It was because the status of his husband and wife was too low that Xi'er was rejected by others.

  The husband and wife lamented repeatedly at night, and the Qigong family was also angry with themselves, feeling sorry for their daughter. Didn't sleep much all night.

  Seeing Xi'er put on such a posture early in the morning, I thought she had something to say.

   No way, when Huo Xi waited for them to sit down, he plopped down on his knees in front of the two of them.

   "What's the matter? Let's talk slowly if we have something to discuss..." The husband and wife were a little frightened and got up in a panic to help.

  Huo Xi shook his head, stopped the two of them from moving, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed to the couple three times, and looked up again, tears streaming down his face.

   There are three shifts, it will be later
