A ragged cub at the beginning

With Nian Chao, Tang Xu feels more relaxed and has more time to paint. She likes to sit in front of the window in the afternoon, basking in the sunshine and painting for the kindergarten children.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year, and on the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, the kindergarten had a collective holiday.

After Tang Xu discussed with Mrs. Du Yun, they decided to take Tang Lele and the others home for the New Year. The children were a little bit unbelievable and got on the carriage nervously, worrying that their clothes would get dirty or that they would be unpopular and be driven back to the kindergarten.

It turned out that they were worrying too much. Mrs. Du was old and liked the company of children.

Tang Ting had been here once before and felt that he had more experience than the other companions, so he led them to kowtow and pay their respects to Madam Du.

"Oh, you are so polite at such a young age. Get up quickly." Old Madam Du hurried to help him.

On days when he doesn't have to go to work, Tang Xu takes his children to play games at home or run around in the suburbs.

This year, the snow fell very early, with the first snowfall on the 25th. On the 28th, there was another heavy snowfall. Tang Ting and his friends were playing snowball fights in the yard, and the children's clear laughter echoed throughout the alley.

Banxia stood aside with her arms folded. She wanted to play a little, but she felt that she was grown up and no longer a child. Just as she was thinking about it, a snowball hit her shoulder.

Tang Qing was throwing a snowball up and down. When he saw someone looking at him, he threw another one with a wicked smile.

"Tang Qing!" Banxia was furious, and she grabbed a ball and threw it over. Unfortunately, it was not tightly rolled up, and it broke into snowflakes in mid-air.

"Brother Tang Qing has attacked Sister Banxia! Hit him." Zhao Yunniang shouted and threw a snowball first.

"Hit him!" Fang Zijun laughed and threw a ball as well.

Tang Qing dodged left and right, but he was outnumbered. He spun around and jumped onto the roof, saying proudly, "I can't hit you."

"Tang Qing! Get down here! The roof is too slippery, you are not allowed to go up there." Tang Xu shouted with his hands on his hips.

Tang Qing snorted and jumped down. Before he could stand firm, Fang Zijun pounced on him, "I caught him, smash him!"

Snowballs fell like rain, and Fang Zijun was not spared, but he laughed the loudest.

Isn't this killing 800 enemies and injuring 1,000 of your own? Tang Qing lay helplessly on the ground, not to amuse the little brat, but just because he was too lazy to move.

Tang Xu was jealous and had evil intentions. He scooped up snow with both hands and covered the two people on the ground.

Madam Du was both angry and amused. "It's too early to expect her to have a baby."

"Young lady was no less capable when she was young." Yu Wen regretted the words as soon as they came out of her mouth. At that time, young lady loved to play and was spoiled by the master. Later, the person who spoiled her was gone, and she changed in just a few days. She learned to handle everything like the master. She slapped her mouth in annoyance, "Young lady, this servant..."

Madam Du paused for a moment and raised her hand to stop her from speaking. After a while, she said, "Tell someone to prepare some hot water so that the children can wash themselves. They are covered in sweat and snow, and they can't get sick."

"Yes."

Tang Qing had snow splashed all over her face. She pushed Fang Zijun away, made a ball of snow in one hand and hit Tang Xu with the other.

"Ahhh, he's bad, he hit his mother." July shouted. He tried his best to hit back, but he was small and his hands were small, so the snowball was like a tickle.

"Save my aunt," Jiarui was extremely anxious.

“Hahahaha…” Tang Xu dodged and hit back while laughing. He was having more fun than Tang Qing.

After playing around for a while, Tang Xu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, her stomach ached slightly, and the pain was getting worse. She squatted on the ground and couldn't stand up for a long time.

"Xiao Xu? What's wrong with Xiao Xu?" Old Madam Du had been watching her and was the first to notice that something was wrong with her.

"Sister Xu?" Tang Qing dropped the snowball in her hand and walked over nervously. As soon as she grabbed her arm, she fainted. "Sister Xu!"

Knocked unconscious by a snowball? Tang Qing was frightened.

Banxia's hand was already on Tang Xu's wrist. She frowned at first, then her eyes widened, "Quick, help her back to bed!"

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Old Madam Du was very anxious and couldn't walk fast.

When Du Yun got home, he saw no one. He strangely went to his mother's room first, and the maids in the yard didn't know. He suddenly felt uneasy, and hurried back to his yard, and found that all his family members were there.

His mother sat at the table, her brows furrowed. Aunt Yuwen and Uncle Qi were waiting, and the children did not go out to play, staring at the door eagerly. His heart skipped a beat, "What happened? Where's Ah Xu?"

"You're in the room. Why did you come back just now? What were you doing running out so early in the morning?" Old Madam Du was very flustered and couldn't help scolding her son.

"The headmaster wants to have tea with me," Du Yun walked towards the door, "What happened to Ah Xu?"

"You can't go in. Banxia is giving acupuncture." Tang Qing blocked the door.

"Mother, what happened?" Du Yun's voice trembled slightly.

"Young Master, don't panic. The young mistress is pregnant and she just had a miscarriage." Yu Wen saw that he was really anxious and began to explain.

"What?" For the first time, Du Yun doubted his hearing. How could he receive the news of pregnancy and miscarriage at the same time? He stood at the door, and before he could feel the joy, he was suppressed by anxiety.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Du Yun couldn't help but break in, and Banxia finally came out.

"A Xu," Du Yun was about to go in when he was stopped by Banxia.

"She's asleep, she's fine." Banxia wiped the sweat off her forehead, "Be more careful with your first child."

"Isn't she in good health? How could this happen?" Old Madam Du stood up and looked towards the door.

"It's okay to enjoy the cold wind and play in the snow and get a little cold." Banxia took a sip of tea.

"I'll go in and take a look." Du Yun walked in quietly. Seeing the man on the bed with a relaxed expression and no sign of pain, he felt relieved. Then he felt an indescribable joy. He was going to be a father.

Madam Du had just taken out her anger on her son, and she felt a little guilty. But seeing him smiling foolishly, she couldn't help but be happy too. Adding a new baby to the family is a great joy. She stood up and said, "Banxia, ​​what can you eat to nourish the body? Ask Lao Qi to look for it in the warehouse. If there is nothing, go buy some. Lao Qi, the servants at home should knock on the door and be careful in the future. Has the house not been repaired for a long time? Is the ground flat? Yuwen, go to the kitchen and bring me the menu for dinner."

"I'll go right away." Yu Wen took the order and went, clasping his hands together as he walked, "God bless us, there will be constant happy events in our family. The young lady will also be more energetic."

Since Du Yun got married, Mrs. Du has felt relieved and has no worries. She often says depressing things that make people worry. She has always been worried that something might happen to her. Now that she has a grandson, she has new hope.

Everyone in the house was busy. The woman slept until the afternoon, and her stomach was growling. She was still a little dazed, and when she saw Du Yun at the head of the bed, she was a little surprised that he was at home. But what was his expression? What was he laughing at? "What are you laughing at? Is there something happy?"

"I'm going to be a father." Du Yun said softly.

"What?" Tang Xu blinked, then grabbed Du Yun by the collar in shock and anger, "You have a child outside?"

"Ah?" Even Du Yun was confused by this sentence, "You have a child outside?"

"How dare you cheat on me?" Tang Xu gritted her teeth and tears welled up in her eyes, "You..." She turned her head and looked for something everywhere. After searching for a long time, she finally took out a dagger from under the pillow.

"Why are you crying? No, I'm not, not outside." Du Yun was speaking incoherently, and before he could explain clearly, the cold blade was already against his neck.

He took a deep breath, and his brain, which was overwhelmed by joy, calmed down. He slowed down his speech, "Calm down, Ah Xu, it's not outside, it's you, you are pregnant."

"What? Who?" Tang Xu put down the knife, and his sleepy brain slowly started to work, "I, I'm pregnant? How come I didn't know?"

"You fainted today because of a cold. Banxia found out after checking your pulse. It's only been a month, so of course you didn't know." Du Yun hugged her and gently wiped her tears. Glancing at the dagger, he joked, "Why did you put a knife under your pillow? Are you going to kill your husband?"

Tang Xu was so embarrassed and ashamed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into. He buried his face in Du Yun's arms and refused to come out. "I was so sleepy that I didn't understand what you said."

"Blame me, blame me." Du Yun stroked her hair and couldn't help laughing. Who could have thought that things would turn out like this? Before he finished speaking, he drew his sword.

"I'm sorry." Tang Xu grabbed his clothes, feeling so embarrassed that he wanted to hide on the spot.

"It's better not to put the knife under the pillow, it's cold." Du Yun teased.
