The Three-Life Stone

Amu was eating with his wife, and Xia Jin went over and sat next to his wife.

"Thank you, brother Amu, for saving my life."

"Hey~ hehehe, that... it's nothing, don't take it to heart." Amu scratched his head and said with a silly smile.

Amu's wife looked at her husband's silly look and said, "You, eat your meal. Is the girl feeling better?"

"Better."

"Why... are you looking at me all the time?" Amu's wife couldn't help but ask.

"Just because you are so beautiful, I can never get enough of looking at you in my entire life, hehe." Amu couldn't help but interrupt. His wife is the most perfect woman.

"You're so talkative." Amu's wife glared at Amu and then looked at Xia Jin.

"Wan'er...sister..." Xia Jin didn't know how to start, and muttered implicitly.

Amu's wife pondered over these four words for a while, and thought that her sister might be calling her, so could Wan'er be her name? So she asked, "What? You said your name is Wan'er?"

Xia Jin smiled. It seemed that she was overthinking it, but her life trajectory didn't seem to have changed at all.

"No, I saw my sister was thinking of an old friend, so I lost my composure." Xia Jin said after adjusting her mood.

"Wan'er?"

"Not entirely. Wan'er is my confidant, her sister, and also an old friend of mine." Xia Jin smiled, "But she is living a good life now, so I feel relieved."

Amu's wife thought for a while and replied, "Well... okay."

"Well... Madam, can A Jin call you sister? Do you know your name?" It is enough to see that Sister Yun Nuan is living well. What else is important?

"Okay, your name is A Jin, right? Just call me Sister Yun." Yun Nuan smiled, as warm as ever.

"Sister Yun Nuan."

"Ah."

The two of them were stunned at the same time. Xia Jin couldn't help but call out, and Yun Nuan didn't react when she heard the familiar name and just answered it directly. Both of them were embarrassed.

Yun Nuan looked at the strange woman and said quickly, "You called the wrong person. I don't think I know your old friend. Doesn't her name also have the word 'Yun' in it? Everyone calls me Xiao Yun."

"I saw Sister Xiaoyun's warm smile and I accidentally called her the wrong name." Xia Jin explained nonchalantly and took Xiaoyun's arm. Yun Nuan felt a little restrained and didn't understand this sudden enthusiasm.

In the next few days, Xia Jin followed Xiaoyun, which made Xiaoyun considerate of her injuries and not want to run outside all the time.

"Wife, it would be nice to have someone to accompany you to relax and relieve your boredom. Just stay at home and I will be back soon." Amu said to Yun Nuan.

"Okay then, you go early and come back early."

Xia Jin came out and took Zuo Nuan's hand: "If you come back late, I will take Sister Yun away!"

"Okay, okay, I'm leaving."

The old lady poked her head out from the stove and shook her head: "Are these sisters who have been separated for many years? Never mind, Xiaoyun is much safer under my nose, why should an old woman like me care so much?"

"Sister Yun, I saw a pipa in the warehouse. Is that the one you played before? Can you play another one for me? Okay, I'll go get it."

"Grandma, let me pick the vegetables. Grandma, add some sugar to make it more delicious. Wow, grandma, this fried meat smells so good. Grandma, I want to eat a piece of meat first. Grandma, put it there and I will wash it."

"Sister Yun, your cooking skills are still as good as ever. Sister Yun, do you prefer a boy or a girl? Sister Yun, how do you think I did this?"

"Sister Yun, what I made is socks, not a scarf. Sister Yun, what I embroidered is a little rabbit, not a little mouse. Sister Yun, I'd better make a bellyband. Please teach me."

"Brother Amu, Sister Yun wants to teach me embroidery to make clothes for your child and the baby in Sister Yun's belly. You should go and work."

"Grandma, it's okay for Sister Yun to play the pipa occasionally. It can also let the baby in Sister Yun's belly listen to it and help her develop more musical cells and talents."

"Wow, Sister Yun, just because you have a baby doesn't hinder your graceful dancing, which adds a bit of warm and gentle radiance."

"Grandma, I went to the market today and bought some vegetables. Today I want you to taste my cooking skills. Just focus on helping me add firewood. Come on, Sister Yun, this spicy and sour cabbage is the most light and appetizing. It's very suitable for your baby who is fussy and has no appetite. Brother Amu, I added vegetables to this roujiamo. You can take some with you when you go out to work. It's convenient to eat when you are hungry. Grandma prepared this boneless chicken feet specially for you. I put a lot of effort into it. Chicken feet are really delicious. Boneless ones are even better. They are soft and sticky when stewed."

"Hehehe big elbow, I haven't eaten it for a long time. I want to show off with my hands. Sister Yun's braised beef is so delicious. I don't know how your baby's appetite is now. I added sugar to the freshly stewed lotus root, so it has sour, sweet and spicy taste. I don't believe that I can't subdue this little guy. I am this kid's godmother."

"Grandma, I hope you won't find me annoying after staying here for so many days, hehe, that's good, I'll wait for Sister Yun to give birth to the baby, then I'll continue to bother you."

"Brother Amu, giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell. I know you love Sister Yun very much, so you must stay by her side in the last few days. If there are any changes in Sister Yun's temperament recently, you must be tolerant and humble. If there are other important matters that can be entrusted to me, I will help you. Sister Yun must love you very much, so she came to the countryside to give birth to children for you and grow old with you."

"Sister Yun, you are still very beautiful. You are the most beautiful mother in the world. Sister Yun, I will help you walk. Don't worry, the swelling will go away after the baby is born. Brother Amu said that you are the most beautiful in his heart. Sister Yun, you are the best. Don't be unconfident."

In this way, Xia Jin stayed to take care of Yun Nuan until the due date. When the due date was approaching, Xia Jin said that she had something to do at home and had to go back. She rushed back the day before the due date and brought some northern specialties and some small gadgets for children, such as rattles and windmills.

On the day Yun Nuan gave birth, Amu stayed by her bedside and never left her side. Grandma did not stop her. She boiled water outside and cooked hot soup in another pot. Her trembling hands showed her nervousness at the moment. Xia Jin was on the other side, holding Yun Nuan's hand and encouraging her.

Yun Nuan's delivery went smoothly. Sweat kept dripping down her cheeks. The usually kind and amiable sister Yun Nuan had a hideous look on her face. Tears and sweat mixed together due to the pain. Amu kept wiping his tears with a handkerchief and his tears also fell. Xia Jin felt Yun Nuan's clenched hands and kept praying silently. After half an hour, with a cry, the stone in everyone's heart fell to the ground.

"It's a girl." The midwife held the child in her arms and showed it to everyone. Grandma and Amu both responded and continued to comfort Yun Nuan before taking the little girl that the midwife had washed and wrapped up and holding her in her arms to show Yun Nuan. Yun Nuan took a look and fell asleep. The last thing she thought of was "How ugly."

Xia Jin went out when no one was paying attention and released a Kongming lantern.
