The Peasant Wife: The Prime Minister's Beloved

In her opinion, all this is just her duty as a mother and wife, and nothing to worry about.

"Okay, let's eat first. Let's not talk about the hard times in the past. I don't want to recall the hardships I experienced as a child. As long as my family is safe and healthy now, I will be satisfied." She said softly, "More importantly, I feel very happy to have you by my side."

Xie Tianyi's eyes gently turned to Chen Rong, who was eating with a satisfied look on his face, and slowly said, "Chen Rong, you will also become classmates with Xiao Yang and Xiao Chen. From now on, you will go out together in the morning and go home together in the evening, and take care of each other."

Chen Rong was delighted when he heard this. He always had deep respect for this brother-in-law who was like a brother and a father to him, because he knew that Xie Tianyi always cared about him in the smallest details and gave him unlimited sense of security and love.

After the meal, Xie Tianyi sat silently in the kitchen, listening to the gurgling water and brushing over every dish with his hands.

The moonlight streaming in from the window adds a touch of tranquility to this mundane housework.

On the other side, Chen Xi's voice was gentle, and he accompanied the two little guys, Xiaoyang and Xiaochen, as they sat on the soft carpet. Colorful storybooks were scattered around them. Their little hands pointed from time to time, and their eyes sparkled with curiosity and yearning for the unknown world.

When Xie Tianyi washed the last pair of chopsticks, the kitchen work was declared finished. He patted the water droplets on his hands, thinking of Chen Xi in his heart, and slowly returned to the room.

However, the room was empty, with only a faint warmth remaining in the air.

A smile appeared on his lips, guessing that her figure must be hidden in the children's small world.

Gently pushing open the door, sure enough, Chen Xi was kneeling on the ground, surrounded by two children, their laughter was as clear as bells.

Xie Tianyi couldn't bear to destroy the tranquility, so he stood quietly behind her, quietly feeling the warmth and tranquility of the moment.

"We have to go to the clinic tomorrow morning, so you should go to bed early. Let me tell stories to the children tonight." Xie Tianyi's voice was soft but firm.

Chen Xi heard this and turned around gently, with gratitude and relief in his eyes, "Thank you for your hard work, I'll go and clean it up."

The night was deep, Chen Xi fell into a deep sleep, everything around him returned to silence, he didn't even notice when Xie Tianyi quietly lay down beside him.

It was just dawn when Chen Xi had already set out on the road to the clinic. Her figure seemed particularly firm in the cool morning breeze.

The clinic was empty and deserted, with only the morning light to keep her company.

He nodded to the medicine boy who had just arrived, and there was a tacit understanding between the two that did not require any words.

She began to methodically organize her desk, making sure everything was in place so she could start a new day's work.

The crowd outside the door gradually gathered into a long queue, and the patients' expectations and anxiety condensed in the air.

Chen Xi sat at the table, patiently and carefully treating each patient for two hours without stopping. Only when the last patient left with satisfaction did she breathe a sigh of relief and hurried to the backyard to take care of her personal needs.

The world outside the clinic was still busy. Chen Xi strolled to the bustling market and came across the hawking of pig intestines. He couldn't help but think of the delicious braised food he had prepared last time, which won him continuous praise from his family.

So she stopped and said to the stall owner with a big smile on his face: "Boss, please pack these intestines, add a few ribs and the pig's trotter, I want to try the big pot of braised food today."

Her eyes fell on the tender pork belly next to it. She hesitated for a moment, but decided to add one more portion to prepare a sumptuous dinner for her family.

"Okay, sir, you are really an expert in living!" The boss's hearty laughter echoed in the market.

After some shopping, Chen Xi's basket had become heavy, and she was holding the newly bought chicken in her hand. Just as she was thinking about how to carry the weight back home, she luckily met an ox cart passing by. Xie Tianyi had already foreseen all this and was waiting at the entrance of the village.

Just as he was about to step towards the village entrance, suddenly, a familiar and slightly teasing voice sounded from behind him: "Hey, Xie Tianyi, when did your legs recover so well?"

Xie Tianyi was startled and turned around to find that it was the village chief's daughter Xu Jing, whose face was full of surprise and surprise.

Xie Tianyi had complicated feelings towards Xu Jing.

In the past, when he was still healthy, Xu Jing pursued him passionately and frequently, repeatedly expressing her desire to marry him, but she continued to pester him even after being rejected.

However, the serious leg injury made him unable to move for a while, and Xu Jing suddenly disappeared. According to rumors, she eventually chose a wealthy man from another village.

Today's reunion was probably just her returning to Xianghe Village under the pretext of visiting relatives.

Xu Jing witnessed Xie Tianyi's steady steps with her own eyes, and was so surprised that she couldn't express it in words.

She once had deep feelings for Xie Tianyi and wanted to become his wife, but life is unpredictable and Xie Tianyi's pain forced her to reconsider her future.

A man with limited mobility seemed to foreshadow a bumpy future, and she absolutely did not want her future to be trapped by poverty.

This realistic consideration ultimately turned the former tenderness and sweetness into nothing.

Today, she has finally said goodbye to her ex-husband who was addicted to gambling and dragged the family into the abyss, and she has set out on the road to Xianghe Village again with her daughter.

Returning to this familiar yet unfamiliar land, he felt both nervous and expectant. Coincidentally, Xie Tianyi's leg disease that had troubled him for many years miraculously recovered, as if God had cleverly arranged a rare reunion for this old acquaintance.

Xu Jing tried to strike up a conversation hopefully, her words filled with old warmth and joy of reunion, but Xie Tianyi just silently quickened his pace and walked forward, leaving behind a determined back.

Although Xu Jing's steps were a little clumsy, she still followed closely, her breathing gradually becoming rapid. Her heartbeat and panting echoed in the quiet village, but she suddenly felt indifferent - they were in the same village, and the years would be long, so opportunities to meet would come one after another, so there was no need to rush.

Thinking of this, Xu Jing slowed down her pace, and the anxiety in her heart turned into a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.

Chen Xi arrived at Xianghe Village, and the ox cart slowly stopped.

At a glance, I saw Xie Tianyi standing quietly at the entrance of the village.

Ever since he accidentally saw Chen Xi struggling to walk due to too much luggage last time, Xie Tianyi decided to be her most solid support every day when she returned from the town.

He gently took the chicken coop from Chen Xi's hand and offered to carry the heavy backpack for her, but Chen Xi politely declined and insisted that they each carry one portion.

"This is only fair. You hold the chicken coop and I'll carry the backpack, and we'll go together." Chen Xi's smile was warm and unyielding. He then turned and walked forward, leaving Xie Tianyi with an independent back.

After returning home, Xie Tianyi carefully handed over a glass of water and informed Chen Xi of the village meeting in the afternoon. His delicate care and respect made Chen Xi feel a surge of gratitude.
