“What’s wrong?” Han Qiao asked.
“Bunny! Bunny…!”
After asking, they learned that they had made all kinds of animal pancakes and little He Cheng had made a rabbit. However, after toasted in the oven, the two big ears were gone, leaving only a black head.
The brothers and sisters were laughing uncontrollably.
Han Qiao couldn’t help but giggle as well. She wiped away his tears and said, “Since the roasted rabbit is gone, then pinch it again. Just pinch a few more.”
He Cheng thought about it and nodded.
With tears on his face, he ran off to pinch the rabbit together again.
The brothers and sisters quickly followed.
After all, he felt a sense of accomplishment when ate the pancake he made himself.
Han Qiao called someone over and asked, “Did anyone send anything to He Cheng today?”
Shulan shook her head.
The others also shook their heads.
Han Qiao heard He Cheng’s laughter somewhere nearby.
She then held Heng Yi’s hand.
“He’s also a poor child.”
His biological father had left and never returned. There was no news from him.
His mother knew he was here, but she didn’t say anything nor made an attempt to see him.
“As long as he is by our side, we’ll treat him as our own, and our sons and daughters will treat him sincerely, he will not be pitiful.” Heng Yi holds Han Qiao tightly.
Looking up at the sky,
Under the full moon, they would be reunited once more.
Their child was about to be born.
Heng Yi was very nervous that he didn’t go out.
He even invited a female doctor from Ji Min Hall. The female doctor didn’t want to come, but Heng Yi promised that after Han Qiao gave birth safely, he could bring the people of Ji Min Hall into the mountains to dig for some herbs.
They would go for three days and would be coming back and forth for a total of three times.
The owner of Ji Min Hall immediately sent their best female doctor over.
Heng Yi also hired two midwives, both of which were the best midwives in Puyi County.
Four nannies had also prepared. The child would only be two or three days old, and the food was prepared by Heng Manor so that the child could eat the best milk after it was born.
On the 17th of August, Han Qiao finally decided on the house she wanted to buy.
In the alley behind Ji Min Hall, there was a teacher who lived on the right. This teacher was very strict and could teach more than ten children every year.
It was also difficult to get a seat in that teacher’s class.
From what she heard from Dong Lai, it took a lot of effort to buy this house. It was only when Zeng Asan came forward and bought a bigger house elsewhere and gave some money to the former owner that he finally get their hands on the house.
He sent people to clean up and buy furniture and daily necessities.
He also bought a family of four from the dental clinic to stay there and wait on them. He also bought a carriage to make it convenient for them to travel.
Han Qiao didn’t go to see it herself. She didn’t go out anymore.
Shulan went to take a look and came back to report that everything was in order and that they did not lack anything.
From then on, Father Han and the Han family could finally bring Han Xiang and her sons to live in the county town. Firstly, they could treat Han Xiang, secondly, they could teach her two children, and finally, they could have a place to stay when Eldest Brother Han and the others came.
Father Han and Han Yuan came to the county town. Heng Yi went to the city gate to pick them up and sent them to the new place.
“Heng Yi, Ah-Qiao is about to give birth, right?” Han Yuan asked.
“Yes, in this half a month.”
Han Yuan nodded.
The two children were a little uneasy, while Han Xiang was nervous.
After entering the residence, Madam Han said, “This residence is too well tidied up. It must have cost a lot of money.”
“Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, just stay here in peace. If you need anything, just tell the servants. Ah-Qiao is about to give birth, and it’s inconvenient for her to personally come here. She can’t take care of this place. If Mother-in-law has an emergency, ask Da Tong to call me at Heng Manor.”
After hearing Heng Yi’s words, Han Yuan felt a little more at ease.
“She’ll be fine. Take good care of Ah-Qiao.”
“I’ll go over to see her after I’ve settled things here.”
Heng Yi nodded.
After settling down, he even went to the restaurant to arrange a table of wine and dishes and asked someone to send them over.
No matter what, Heng Yi was a hundred times stronger than Sun Yiming and Zhou Anshan.
He loved Han Qiao, so he was willing to help her gain face. He would also love her family and treat them well.
Father Han and Madam Han looked at the table full of delicacies, not knowing how to move their chopsticks.
Han Xiao and Han Sa, two of Han Xiang’s sons, looked at their grandparents and then at their mother.
Han Xiang gulped and whispered, “Father, Mother, it’s time to eat.”
“Okay, let’s eat.” Han Yuan said.
To be honest, it was much easier to come to the county than to stay in the countryside.
There were maids and servants to do their laundry and cook. There was also a carriage whenever they wanted to go out. There were also people to look after the two children.
Han Yuan felt her heart ache for the silver.
She didn’t dare to just stand around and not earn anything. She felt a little uncomfortable.
It wasn’t a good idea to just sit and do nothing.
It would be best if they could earn money and pay for their own expenses in the future. It would be best if Han Qiao didn’t have to fork out her money.
However, the two of them could not think of any small business they could do at the moment…
At the end of August, Han Qiao was already in a bad mood.
Her legs were swollen and it hurt to walk. She couldn’t sleep well at night and the cramps made her cry.
Every time she cried, Heng Yi would get anxious, rubbing her legs and massaging her.
It was useless.
Actually, it was a normal reaction, but being spoiled by Heng Yi, Han Qiao became more and more delicate.
At noon on the first day of September, Han Qiao felt uncomfortable. She couldn’t eat anything and couldn’t sit or stand.
After the midwife checked, she said, “It should be in the next one or two days.”
For a moment, everyone in the mansion was ready for battle.
The children did not dare to play, and they were not in the mood to study or practice martial arts.
Heng Yi was guarding Han Qiao without rest.
In the middle of the night, Han Qiao pushed Heng Yi and said, “Heng Yi, my water broke.”
Heng Yi was stunned at first, then he shivered and couldn’t help but tremble.
“Shulan, Duan Yue, go and call the midwife over.” He shouted hoarsely.
The midwife was actually just next door.
Seeing that their Master valued them so much, they became even more alert.
They ordered the servants to boil water for Han Qiao, prepare ginseng soup, and let her eat. Then, Heng Yi helped Han Qiao to clean her body and helped her to the delivery room that had been prepared earlier.
Heng Yi paced back and forth at the door.
He walked around.
His face was pale and he was sweating profusely.
He clenched and unclenched his fists.
Madam Han received the news at dawn and hurried over with the things she had prepared.
Seeing Heng Yi so nervous, she called out to him.
Heng Yi didn’t hear her, so he ignored her.
“…” Han Yuan sighed.
Please let it be safe and smooth. Procedure
Han Qiao didn’t feel any pain at first, but it started to hurt later on.
She didn’t dare to scream.
She knew that if she screamed, Heng Yi would go crazy.
Therefore, she endured the pain.
On the second day of September, the sun rose. It’s about a quarter to one.
Han Qiao successfully gave birth to her first child with Heng Yi.
“Ha…”
A loud cry came from the house.
Heng Yi shook in place.
His pale lips trembled, and his upper and lower teeth collided. His eyes hurt, his nose was sore, and his throat was blocked. He could not help but cry.
He stepped forward and reached out to push the door open.
He did not dare to fully open the door.
His hands were all over the place. In the end, he wiped his face and stood where he was.
He held his right hand with his left hand, his fingers intertwined with one another so that he wouldn’t lose his composure.
The midwife opened the door slightly and said loudly, “It’s a son! Congratulations, Master! He’s a healthy boy. Both mother and son are safe.”
“Good, good, good.”
Heng Yi repeated.
His body went limp and he collapsed to the floor.
“Master…!”
“Father…!”
“Son-in-law?”
