Brother of Rebirth

A vigil is required on New Year's Eve, which symbolizes a smooth transition of the year. At this moment, the wind and snow have stopped. Looking outside from the main room, there is a vast expanse of white and thick snow. Under the light of the moon, it is crystal clear and beautiful.

The family satiated with wine and food, put melon seeds, peanuts and other things, and chatted around the stove. Qi Wu went to the bedroom and moved out two short rugs and put them on the table. Everyone sat cross-legged and warmed up the fire. Very uncomfortable.Su Ling looked at the beauty outside the house, and begged Qi Wu pitifully with her beautiful big eyes, but Qi Wu hardened his heart and flatly refused.

"It's late at night, the baby in your womb is noisy, and your body is weak, so you don't suffer from frostbite."

Even Achang came out and said, "Sister-in-law, when my nephew is born, I will take you to a snowball fight."

It was rare for Qi Wu to see that Achang was so sensible, and he smiled with relief, and took out a red cloth bag from his arms, "Achang is 12 years old, he has grown up and is sensible, here, this is this year's lucky money."

Achang smiled, and immediately took it with his greasy hands, and quickly put it in his arms.

Qi Wu also took a red kit and handed it to Aunt Sun, "Sister-in-law, it's thanks to you for taking care of my old Qi's family this year, otherwise how could the family go so smoothly with my rough man."

Sealing some auspicious money on New Year's Eve symbolizes the smooth development of the year, and Mrs. Sun is happy to accept it.

It's just that after taking a look, the weight is not light, and when she pulled it away, Aunt Sun's eyes widened, "There are so many, how good you are, you treat me as an outsider!"

Qi Wu apologized and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, don't be surprised, this is for the future. Although the future is still small, there are many places to use the money in the future, so I have to take care of it for him. Besides, the money is placed with you, and it will go away later." If I'm not good in the future, I will have to borrow one or two from you."

Sister-in-law Sun said, "Just leave it to Ah Ling, I eat you and wear your clothes now, it would be too much to take this money."

Qi Wu stopped and said, "This is the sister-in-law's fault. I really want you to get some money for yourself. If you don't take Ah Ling, you will be accused."

Sister-in-law Sun was about to evade again and again, when Qi Wu said again, "If my sister-in-law talks again, she feels that Qi Da has no ability, and she can't afford to give any money."

Aunt Sun smiled helplessly, "What do you say on New Year's Eve? No matter what, I don't need to be polite to you. I'll take the money, and I'll keep it for you. If you need it in the future, just take it."

Qi Wu nodded and smiled, Su Ling's body leaned over, because the fire was roasting, so there was a layer of blush on his tender face, Qi Wu refused to let him go outside to watch the snow, he was inevitably a little angry in his heart, so he deliberately teased him, "I don't even have lucky money..."

Qi Wu laughed loudly, "Hey boy, why don't you have a share?"

After finishing speaking, he took out a purple red kit and handed it to Su Ling. Su Ling didn't expect that Qi Wu would really have prepared for him. After taking it and opening it, he was surprised to find that there was only one copper plate inside, and his mouth immediately hung up. up.

"A penny . . . cheapskate."

Qi Wu laughed loudly, "My little lady, this is just a way to get a lottery, all my money is not all yours, you can take as much as you want."

Su Ling gave him a slightly annoyed look.

But Achang quit, "Brother, I am the least!"

Qi Wu scratched his nose, "Little brat is too little, it seems that I gave you too much this year, and I should give you the same amount as in previous years!"

In previous years, it was not easy to maintain food and clothing. To have a few copper coins during the Chinese New Year is the supreme happiness. Just now Achang took the red cloth bag, and there was a heavy ball inside. It is estimated that there were at least dozens of dollars in it. How can it be compared with previous years? Hearing Qi Wu's half-truth and half-false threat, Achang quickly covered his lapel, fearing that Qi Wu would really take him away.

This innocent behavior made everyone laugh, Su Ling also laughed, and kept stroking A Chang's head.

Achang enjoys his sister-in-law's gentle caress, and feels extremely happy in his heart. He likes his sister-in-law very much. Since his elder brother married his sister-in-law and came in, his life is getting better day by day, and he no longer has to worry about his shoes getting wet in rainy days. You don’t have to worry about eating steamed buns every day, and you don’t have to worry about not wearing warm clothes. After Chinese New Year, you still have so much lucky money to spend, you can buy a lot of candy, and you can go to the porter who walks to buy delicious sesame seed cakes. It couldn't be better.

Achang really wants to grow up and make good money to honor his sister-in-law.

Ke Qi was already drowsy on the side, and Mrs. Sun held him in her arms, and the child grunted, nestled in his mother's arms, and fell into a deep sleep smelling the familiar smell.

Qi Wu squeezed Su Ling's hand and rubbed it on his cheek, enjoying this warm vigil moment.

Su Ling nestled lazily in Qi Wu's arms, and Qi Wu rubbed his chin against his head. There was a warm fragrance lingering around his neck. Qi Wu smelled the comfort in his heart. He lowered his head and gently gnawed at the thin ear bones with his teeth. "Ninny, if you're sleepy, just lie in my arms and sleep."

Su Ling was itchy from Qi Wu's bite, twisted, avoided his teasing, found a comfortable position and closed his eyes.Qi Wu took the cloak at the side, wrapped Su Ling up, and continued chatting with Mrs. Sun.

Su Ling listened to the thick voice from Qi Wu's chest intermittently, falling asleep.

The whole person seems to be wandering in a piece of warm water, full of solid and warm feeling.

Let's go on like this year after year, day after day, year after year of plain warmth, with the sound of fireworks and firecrackers in my ears, it must be midnight, but Su Ling is too lazy to open his eyes, just May the years be so long and long.

============================

When Su Ling woke up, it was already the early morning of the next day. The warm winter sun was very soft, without the heat, but it gave people a sense of comfort. There was a sound of snow sweeping in his ears, presumably Qi Wu had already cleared the snow outside. .Su Ling was afraid that Qi Wu would destroy the beautiful scenery in his heart, and he was anxious to see the snow, so he wanted to get up, but he had a big belly and a thin body, and it was more difficult than ordinary people to conceive a child, even though Qi Wu was him Pillow at night, but still sore.

With great difficulty, he got off the bed with difficulty, put on his clothes, and walked out the door with his waist supported. Qi Wu's ears were sharp, and when he heard the bedroom door open, he knew that Su Ling had come out.

"Why don't you wear more clothes?"

Seeing that Su Ling was only wearing a coat, Qi Wu's heart ached. The snow didn't turn the snow into cold, and he didn't have to freeze, so he immediately put down the broom, took off the cloak he was wearing, and gave it to him. Su Ling put it on.

Seeing that the snow in the courtyard had been swept away for him, Su Ling complained a little, "You, you are so nice, why did you sweep the snow away? I haven't seen it yet!"

Qi Wu shook his head and said with a smile, "You, you will be eighteen after the new year, why are you much younger than Achang?"

Su Ling said angrily, "The snow scene is so beautiful, but you don't know how to appreciate it."

Qi Wu squeezed Su Ling's chin, and said softly, "I don't understand, I've already seen the most beautiful ones."

Su Ling's face was reddish, and he looked shy and slightly annoyed. Qi Wu's greed was almost aroused again. He just wanted to kiss Fangze, and Mrs. Sun called out in his ear, "Eat glutinous rice balls!"

Su Ling hurriedly avoided Qi Wu's approaching face, Qi Wu chuckled, "Why are you shy, I haven't seen or tasted anything about you."

Su Ling pushed him, "You, don't do this."

Qi Wu really loved Su Ling's appearance so much, and he didn't want to tease him anymore, so he comforted him immediately, "Okay, after eating glutinous rice balls, I'll take you to the Meilin in the village to see the snow, the snow scene there is so beautiful! , what’s so good about our small courtyard.”

Su Ling nodded repeatedly, fascinated.

But Su Ling couldn't look at the snow anymore, because after half an hour, his stomach started to hurt.

Everyone was eating glutinous rice balls, the sweet and soft stuffing was sweet, Su Ling ate a sesame stuffing, the sesame stuffing made by Mrs. Sun is not very sweet, only some sweet-scented osmanthus sugar was added, it was fragrant and refreshing, The glutinous rice balls are not as sweet and greasy as usual, so Su Ling inevitably ate one more.Just as he was about to stretch out his chopsticks to pick it up in Qi Wu's bowl, his stomach suddenly throbbed. Su Ling didn't pay much attention to it. He thought it was the baby kicking him, but his stomach throbbed again immediately.

The glutinous rice balls on Su Ling's painful chopsticks fell on the table.

Qi Wu realized that something was wrong, immediately put down the bowl and chopsticks, and hugged Su Ling, "A Ling, what's wrong?"

Su Ling panted and frowned, "A Wu, I, I have a stomachache."

Mrs. Sun also came up quickly, touched Su Ling's belly, "Oh, maybe she's about to give birth."

Startled, Qi Wu hugged Su Ling, and hurriedly carried him into the bedroom. Just as he put it down, Qi Wu touched Su Ling's pale face, "A Ling, bear with me, I'll go to the town to call Po Wen."

Su Ling was terrified and full of helplessness. Hearing that Qi Wu was about to leave, tears immediately came out, "Ah Wu...don't go...I'm afraid..."

Qi Wu was not advancing or retreating, anxious in his heart, Mrs. Sun, who came in behind her, heard this, and hurriedly said, "Da Qi, stay and take care of A Ling, I'm going to town."

Qi Wu saw Su Ling tightly grasping the hand of his skirt, although he must have walked much faster than Mrs. Sun, but the person on the bed was terrified, trembling in his arms, a pair of catkins tightly grasped Holding his skirt, fearing that he would leave, how could he go in such a situation, he could only nod his head and let Aunt Sun rush to go.

At this moment, Su Ling's face was covered with pain, and there was a layer of cold sweat, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes, so pitiful, Qi Wu looked at the apex of his heart in pain, and couldn't hold back his arms to comfort him.

"Ninny, don't be afraid."

"It hurts... woo... Wu... I hurt..."

Qi Wu held him in his arms and held his hand tightly, "Don't be afraid, my daughter, my husband will accompany you, don't be afraid."

There was another throbbing pain, Su Ling turned pale, and clung tightly to Qi Wu.

Qi Wu was so anxious that he wished he could take Su Ling's place, but now he has nothing to do, he can only hug his wife tightly in his arms.
