Jiang Miao reached out to hug him in a daze, and touched his chest and back with her little hands, "Are you wet?"

"No, I took an umbrella." The man lowered his head and kissed her forehead, holding her tighter with his strong arms.

Jiang Miao felt relieved and fell asleep in his arms.

The next morning, Cheng Huai woke up early, calf-high water gushing at the door of the house, just blocked by the raised mound of soil.

He went back to the house and changed into a pair of wooden clogs, took the money, rolled up his trouser legs and went out dripping with water.

When she came back, she happened to see Jiang Miao leading the big and small babies playing in the water into the house. The man looked gloomy and walked over to carry the two little cubs to the punishment station.

Jiang Miao supported her lower back, Cheng Huai immediately supported her, worry flashed in his eyes, "Daughter-in-law, is your back sore?"

"I felt a little sore when I woke up. Maybe I slept on my side for too long."

She gently pressed the sore area, Cheng Huai helped her sit down, stretched out his big hand, and spread the gentle force on her waist.

The man lowered his eyes and looked at her pale face, got up and carried her to the house.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm going to find the doctor."

"No, sir."

He took a pillow to support her legs, pulled the quilt to cover her, lowered his head and touched her forehead, "Daughter-in-law, I will be back soon."

"It's full of water outside, sir, please walk slowly." Jiang Miao grabbed his big hand and said.

Cheng Huai felt a little uneasy and his eyes darkened slightly, "Okay, I'll call my mother to come in. Wife, please wait for me."

"Ah."

Yu Ying came in quickly, boiled hot water for her to drink, grabbed her hand and covered it.

"Miao Yatou, do you feel uncomfortable in your stomach?"

"Mom, I'm fine. It's just that my lower back is a little sore."

Jiang Miao shook her head. Now that she is nine months old, they are all a little worried about premature birth.

After a while, the man's deep voice sounded outside the door.

"Mother, the doctor is here."

"Come in quickly." Yu Ying stood up and gave up her position.

Cheng Huai immediately strode in, carrying the old doctor on his shoulders.

Most of his clothes were wet. The old doctor's clothes were clean and tidy, but he didn't look good.

The man looked slightly anxious and said, "Doctor, please take a look."

"My old bones are almost broken by you."

The old doctor snorted, walked to the bedside, felt Jiang Miao's pulse, and asked in a calm voice: "Have you been suffering from backache and pain lately?"

Meeting the doctor's serious gaze, Jiang Miao nodded.

"It will be considered full term in less than half a month. Soreness and swelling are normal. Let your little husband take care of it. Use a hot bandana on the lower back at night, and don't massage it too hard."

After two injections, her lower back temporarily felt better, and Jiang Miao breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Ying asked the doctor to go out and sit for a while. The man sat by the bed and rubbed Jiang Miao's waist.

The woman held his hand and said in a gentle voice, "Mr., I'm fine."

"Daughter-in-law, tell me about your back pain. Don't bear it alone." Cheng Huai's voice was hoarse and his eyes were red.

His wife is in such pain now, and he can't share anything with her.

The man choked with sobs and turned his head away.

Hearing that her man's tone was wrong, Jiang Miao tightened her grip on his hand and said, "It only hurt a little before. You can rub it at night and it will be fine."

"Ms. sir, I didn't mean to hide it." Seeing the man lower his head, she put her arms around his neck, "Don't blame yourself, the doctor said it was normal soreness." The man lowered his head and rubbed her head, just in time to rub her. Big bump on forehead.

There was a muffled groan, and Jiang Miao smiled and touched his purple bag, "My husband didn't apply any medicine."

"I'll apply it myself. You just lie down." He straightened up and went to get the medicine to apply. He went outside, washed his hands and came in, and continued to rub Jiang Miao's waist.

Although my back hurt, I slept well last night. Jiang Miao scratched the palm of her man's hand and said, "Ms. sir, the doctor doesn't hurt anymore after the injection. I remembered."

"Just tell me if you feel uncomfortable." He put his arm under her waist, slowly hugged her to sit up, supported her lower back and asked, "Do you want to eat?"

Jiang Miao looked at his wet trouser legs, and her big feet wearing wooden clogs came into view. The insteps were stained with mud and turned red from the cold.

Now in this cold weather, even wearing shoes is freezing his feet, so he has been swimming back and forth in the cold water several times.

"My husband, go change your pants and put on your shoes and socks first. You will get frostbite if you do this."

"I'll send the doctor back first."

After bending down to put on her shoes, Cheng Huai went to the cupboard to get some food, helped her sit down by the brazier, and immediately left with the old doctor on his shoulders.

Yu Ying got some gloves for her to wear, then walked over and closed half of the door.

Dabao and Xiaobao stood obediently, looking at Jiang Miao with a guilty conscience.

Jiang Miao looked at them and said, "Go and bring the low stool over and sit with your uncle to warm up by the fire."

"Mom, we still have to stand."

Dad said you should stand until it's time to eat.

"Don't play in the water next time, otherwise the kidnappers in the water will steal you away." Jiang Miao said with a serious face.

Dabao and Xiaobao looked over with wide eyes, "Mom, are there people stealing children in the water?"

"Yes, it's so big that even my mother doesn't dare to go there. Only your father can fight it away." Jiang Miao gestured.

Dabao and Xiaobao trembled with their little hands and shook their heads quickly, "Mom, we don't want to play in the water anymore."

"Well, come and warm yourself by the fire, show me your little hands." She said softly, reaching out towards them.

The two children came over immediately, their chubby hands were warm, and Jiang Miao pulled them to sit down.

After sitting for a while, she slowly stood up and went to look for pants and socks in the room.

The rising water slowly receded and entered the door of the house. Cheng Huai bent down to clear away the weeds blocking the ditch, and then washed his hands and feet before entering the house.

Not seeing Jiang Miao in the main room, he hurriedly shouted: "Daughter-in-law!"

"Ms. sir, he's in the house."

Jiang Miao found the socks made of thick cloth and saw her man rushing in hurriedly, with sweat on his forehead and his eyebrows arched, "I'm fine, don't run in such a hurry."

"Hurry up and change your pants. If you're really freezing, I'll scold you again." The woman muttered in a low voice and led him to sit down on the bench.

Cheng Huai held her hand tightly and put his other hand around her waist, "Daughter-in-law, does your waist still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, change quickly." She put the pants into his hand, and when he saw him looking at her, Jiang Miao's face suddenly became tense, "You want me to change for you?"

Cheng Huai immediately took the pants and smiled when he saw that her face was much better, "My wife, sit down first, I can change myself."

He sat on the edge to change his pants, and Jiang Miao gestured at his feet with her stockings.

"Daughter-in-law, there is no need to make clothes and socks for me, they are enough." He whispered.

The most important thing now is her own body. He doesn't need his wife to worry about him all the time.

Jiang Miao raised her hand and touched his face, "Do you want to put on some more clothes? Your face is not as warm as a baby's."

"The fire will be hot after a while. Let my wife touch her later." He put his arms around her waist and held her firmly before walking out.

Yu Ying pulled the charcoal ash in the middle and put two charcoal sticks on it.
