Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 716: Chapter 717 Fearing a Scare_1

Seeing An Jing smile at him, Xiao Changyi’s handsome face remained expressionless, but his cold eyes instantly softened.

Soon after, Meng Zhuqing arrived.

Meng Zhuqing was there to deliver a message, the Emperor of Xiyun and Su Chengyu had written them another letter.

An Jing and Xiao Changyi first read the letter from Su Chengyu, and then they read the letter from the Emperor of Xiyun.

Seeing that the Emperor’s letter mentioned a big surprise for the children’s first birthday, An Jing couldn’t help but laugh, ”Whether it’s a surprise or not doesn’t really matter, I’m just afraid it might be a shock.”

Xiao Changyi remained silent.

An Jing laughed again, ”Husband, what do you think the surprise my father-in-law will give us could be?”

Xiao Changyi shook his head, indicating he didn’t know.

An Jing didn’t ask any further, nor did she guess herself, but said, ”Although I’m a bit worried it might be a shock, I’m still looking forward to it. It’s just a shame we can’t know right away, we have to wait more than a month, as Jinger and the others won’t be one year old until the sixth day of the sixth month.”

Xiao Changyi finally spoke up, ”Should I write to the old man and have him tell you in advance?”

An Jing immediately laughed again, ”If he tells me in advance, what surprise would that be? Let’s just wait for the day, a little over a month isn’t really that long.”

”Hmm.”

Since An Jing and Xiao Changyi had nothing for Meng Zhuqing to do, they let her go.

But no sooner had Meng Zhuqing left than Shi Xiaolan arrived, her face beaming with joy, holding two red eggs in her hand.

Upon seeing An Jing, Shi Xiaolan thrust the two red eggs into An Jing’s hands, unable to hide her excitement as she said, ”An Jing, I’m pregnant again! It was supposed to be Brother Xiaoshan who brought you and Brother Xiao the eggs, but since he had work to do in town, I had to come instead.”

”Really?!” An Jing was also overjoyed. Shi Xiaolan and Wu Xiaoshan had only been married for a little over two months, and she was already pregnant so quickly.

”Yes!” Shi Xiaolan nodded vigorously, her face still radiating happiness. ”I didn’t expect to get pregnant so soon either, and Brother Xiaoshan didn’t expect it. When he found out I was pregnant, he was so happy he almost went crazy, hopping and jumping around while holding Niuniu and Yu Yu.”

Hearing that Wu Xiaoshan was hopping and jumping with Niuniu and Yu Yu, An Jing laughed and said, ”It sounds like your new husband is very good to Niuniu and Yu Yu.”

”Yes, yes.” Shi Xiaolan nodded vehemently. ”Brother Xiaoshan is really good to Niuniu and Yu Yu. He tries to get them whatever they want.”

An Jing felt somewhat reassured.

Shi Xiaolan continued, ”I was so happy about being pregnant that I wanted Brother Xiaoshan to take a day off from going to town to work today, it’s just too exhausting, but he refused no matter what. He said that a day of work could feed our family for several meals, and he would go every day as long as there was work to do.”

Upon saying this, Shi Xiaolan suddenly sighed, ”They say it’s Brother Xiaoshan who married into my family, but all the burdens of the household weigh on his shoulders alone, I really feel guilty toward him.”

An Jing said, ”He does it because he loves you and wants to.”

Shi Xiaolan’s face turned red, but she nodded and said in a soft voice, ”Life is a bit hard now, but it’s good... Brother Xiaoshan and I are doing well... ”

An Jing responded with relief, ”As long as you two are good, that’s what matters.”

Shi Xiaolan nodded again, then smiled and said, ”No matter if this child is a boy or a girl, I don’t have to worry anymore. I’m the head of the family now, any children born are mine, and I will love them all. To tell you the truth, this is really much better than when I was with the An family.”
