After the Republic of China

At night in Shanghai, the lights are bright and the flow of people is as usual.

Shao Mansion is located in the wealthy area of ​​the French Concession, so it is a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle.

In the small flower hall, the men were drinking and laughing lively, which seemed a bit noisy.

At Shao Yunshi's place, the little sisters smiled when they heard the movement and only spoke their own words.

No, the topic that had been stopped for a moment by the noise in the Little Flower Hall was picked up by Xiaodong again, and what he said was very special.

Ximei was speechless after hearing this, "Can you please stop interrupting and listen carefully to what the lady has to say."

Xiaodong knew he was wrong and stuck out his tongue.

Shao Yunshi ignored her and continued: "I thought that Master Zhou is probably pregnant again, and she is an advanced maternal age. Going to the suburbs to be quieter will also be beneficial to the pregnancy."

"Three and one, I'm afraid I'm not worried that Xiaodong will go around the city causing trouble and annoy Master Zhou." Ximei couldn't help it and directly answered the conversation.

When Xiaodong heard this, he became a little silent.

In fact, she was not ignorant, and there was some warmth between her and her stepfather, but it was lacking in some way, not as good as the tacit understanding she had with her uncle.

Thinking that her mother might have gone to the suburbs to avoid her, she felt astringent in her heart. She didn't know what it was like.

Seeing her silence, Shao Yunshi knew that she had somewhat understood Uncle Bu Yi's intention of going to the suburbs, so he stopped mentioning it.

Seeing Xiaodong lowering his head and looking listless, Ximei felt that she had gotten into trouble and was worried. She didn't know how to persuade him.

The atmosphere in the room was stagnant for a moment.

After a while, Xiaodong came back to his senses and said, "I will definitely be obedient in the future, and I won't make my mother angry or anxious anymore."

Shao Yunshi glanced at her and said, "You are right to think so. Besides, your mother can't live in the suburbs all the time. When she is about to give birth, she still has to come back to the city. After all, this is close to the hospital."

"Well, that's true." After Ximei finished speaking, she glanced at Xiaodong and asked, "Are you following me to the suburbs? Or staying in the city?"

Xiaodong was worried about his pregnant mother, but he also liked to stay in the city and follow Feihong and Luo Cheng around.

After thinking about it like this, she couldn't help but wonder: "I'm probably going to follow my mother to the suburbs. After all, my father has to be busy with the nursery. I'm a little worried if I don't accompany my mother."

Seeing that she was sensible, Ximei liked it and said, "You are right to think so. When your brother is born, you will have plenty of time to play."

"How did you know that my mother was carrying a younger brother?" Xiaodong asked curiously.

Seeing her asking, Ximei said proudly and mysteriously: "Although your mother hasn't shown her pregnancy yet, her food has changed and she likes sour food. Isn't this a sign."

"A sour boy and a hot girl? Is this accurate?" Xiaodong still prefers to have a younger brother.

"Why is it so inaccurate? In all likelihood, my mother was like this when she was pregnant with my brother." Ximei hurriedly gave evidence.

Seeing them discussing their unborn child happily, Shao Yunshi felt relieved and lowered her head to continue sewing.

At the same time, in the building behind the Shao family, the Bu family lived.

"Why are you doing needlework again?" Bu looked at Zhou Qin distressedly as he took off his clothes: "Didn't I say, don't wait for me to come back? You should rest more at this time, are you hungry?"

Zhou Qin felt sweet in her heart when Bu Yi cared so much about her, and said with a slight blush on her face: "I just used it. I'm not hungry now. Why are you back?"

Bu Yi took a sip of tea, helped Zhou Qin sit down, and sighed: "It's still comfortable at home. Feihong and the other guys stayed with me in front of me. I had a glass of wine and came back." Zhou Qin frowned after hearing this. , "It's rare for my uncle to come here, why don't you say hello to me?"

Bu Yi looked at his wife softly and said happily: "With me here, these boys can't let go. Besides, you are at home alone, how can I drink in peace in front of you."

"What are you worried about? I'm not heavy. Besides, Xiaodong should be back soon." Although Zhou Qin felt sweet in her heart, she still didn't want to worry about Bu Yi.

Bu Yi glanced into the inner room, "Xiaodong is still at the lady's place?"

Zhou Qin said happily: "This girl will probably not come back today. She has been friends with the lady since she was a child. She has been complaining about it since I haven't seen her these days. Besides, she likes to join in the fun, and there are many people in front of her."

Bu smiled when he thought about Xiaodong's temperament, "No, this child is simple-minded. She will cling to anyone who treats her well."

Seeing her husband say this, Zhou Qin felt happy, but also a little sad, "Xiaodong's temper has been spoiled by me, and I've made it difficult for you."

Bu Yi laughed and touched his wife's hand, looked at her tenderly, and said seriously: "What are you talking about? Since we became a family, Xiaodong is my daughter."

Zhou Qin believed what he said, otherwise she wouldn't have gotten married to him.

However, she still sighed: "Xiaodong is still closer to Uncle Ling after all. I have wronged you."

Bu Yisheng had an open-minded nature, stroking his wife's hand and advising: "You are overthinking it. Ling Daxia has been getting along with the child for a long time, so the child will naturally be closer. I think that when our family gets along for a long time, Xiaodong will become more natural." .”

These days, although Xiaodong calls his father, it's still a bit awkward. He can feel it and feels sorry for his child's thoughtfulness.

How can a mother not feel sorry for her own child?

When Zhou Qin heard what Bu Yi said, his heart was filled with relief, and he sighed: "After all, I owe the child. In the early years, the child suffered a lot in the Yang family, and that's why it became like this."

Xiaodong's biological father, the Yang family, was not a good family. Buyi knew this, so he felt very sorry for the two of them.

"You have suffered so much. I will have to pamper my children and you in the future." Bu Yi held the person in his arms distressedly.

Zhou Qin's face turned red with embarrassment when he did this, and she turned around in a coquettish tone, "If you think so, Xiaodong will be even more arrogant. That child has been spoiled by me, and I still expect you to be a strict father." .”

Bu Yi smiled and said, "Xiaodong is a very good child, even if he has some minor problems. As a father, can I just ignore him? However, I don't want to be a strict father, I only want to be a loving father."

Zhou Qin was treated so tenderly by her husband and listened to his sincere words. She felt that she had sustenance and reliance in her miserable life.

After sniffing, she glanced at her husband shyly and said, "I'll listen to you. You have the final say in our family."

Bu Yi's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he wanted to say it again, but he didn't want his wife to think too much about it, as she still had a child in her belly.

Then, he changed the topic and asked with a smile: "Aqin, what does this chapter mean? Does he want to settle the matter of the two children?"

As soon as Zhang Lezi arrived in Shanghai, Bu Yi and his wife guessed his purpose.

The lights in the room flickered, illuminating the expressions on people's faces clearly.

Bu Yi looked at his wife, who was a little worried, and sighed: "Don't think too much. It's probably because I think too much. After all, Xiaodong is still young."

After saying this, Zhou Qin also thought that Bu Yi was Xiaodong's biological father.

She shook her head and said seriously: "I'm looking at you. I'm afraid you didn't think too much. Otherwise, if you can't live a good life in Yangzhou, why do you have to come to Shanghai?"
