Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty
Chapter 448 - 440: Pregnancy (4000K, two - s combined)_2

Chen Afu entered the space and found a small brocade box containing a few agarwood residues the size of toothpicks. These residues weren’t as valuable as the leaves, so Jin Yanzi had pecked a few for Chen Afu to use in cooking.

Chen Afu saw Jin Bei lying on the ground, casting a faint green light; it must be feeling sad as the playful Jin Yanzi had been gone for more than ten days without returning.

Chen Afu picked it up and said with a smile, "Don’t be sad, Beibei. Your sister hasn’t gone to the woods to play for a long time, delaying only a few days. You’ll come back to life soon, and then you can go out and play with her." She added, "Mommy is expecting another baby. I wonder if Beibei will be his (her) elder sister or younger sister."

Jin Bei’s little body warmed up again.

Chen Afu left the space, secretly gave the small piece of wood to Hong Fei, and said, "This is the rare herb that Master Wu Zhi gave me before, which is good for boosting health. Make a small bag to cook it with the almonds in the sheep milk. After cooking, discard the almonds but keep this little stick for the next cooking."

Hong Fei nodded, boiled the sheep’s milk, and let it cool down.

Initially, the two young boys were reluctant to drink it, but after being coaxed by their mothers for a while, they finally drank it. However, feeding with a small spoon in this era, without a baby bottle, was somewhat troublesome.

After dinner, Jin Yanzi finally returned with Qi Qi and Hui Hui, bringing along two beautiful kingfishers. The kids were thrilled and played with the birds and the Zhui Feng family in the yard, creating a lively scene. Even the little boys were carried by their mothers to join in the fun, clapping their hands and shouting with particularly loud voices.

Ms. Chu said excitedly to Jin Yanzi, "Jin Bao, I have good news for you. My mother is having another baby."

She, along with Dabao and Li Xuan, were all hoping for another younger sister, so they firmly believed that there would be a little sister in their mother’s womb.

Listening to this, Jin Yanzi’s tiny beak opened widely in delight. She was about to fly to her mommy when she was grabbed by Li Xuan. After struggling to break free from his little hand, she was caught by Dabao...

When the last hint of sunset was covered by the night sky, the bright moon hung diagonally on the horizon under the starlight. The lanterns under the corridor were lit up, illuminating the yard. The children were having a great time playing and didn’t want to go back to their rooms.

Chen Afu thought they hadn’t played like this for a long time, so she let them continue to enjoy themselves in the yard. She sat down under the corridor, a hand on her belly, watching them serenely and tenderly.

Time was calm and peaceful. As long as they didn’t think about the uncertainty of their family in the Capital City, their days were truly tranquil and composed. If Chu Lingxuan were home, it would be even better.

Ever since they got married, their time together had always been brief. Whether when she was living in the countryside or after moving to the capital city, it was always the same. If she didn’t have all these lovely kids causing a stir around her, missing him would probably have been more intense, making days harder to pass.

Being in this different world for more than three years, her longing had been much more than tens of years in her past life...

While Chen Afu was thinking, Jin Yanzi, having finally managed to escape the little claws of the children, flew over and perched on her clothes, chirping, "Mommy, Daddy Chu is amazing, and now we’ll have another brother or sister. I think it must have been the time when Beibei was shocked and turned upside down that you got pregnant. It must be. I’m sure!"

Chen Afu was speechless. This little creature, sometimes innocent, sometimes complex, thinking even more than human beings. She reached out to grab it and gave it a flick on the head. She wanted to scold it, but seeing the little girl at a distance, she held back.

Jin Yanzi chirped unhappily and said, "You humans are like that. Even if it’s the truth, you don’t want people to talk about it."

It seemed like that’s indeed the case, Chen Afu remained silent.

Then Jin Yanzi continued, "We also went to Fu Garden and Lu Garden this time. It’s so beautiful there. Grandpa and Grandma, and even Great Grandpa, they peeled melon seeds and peanuts for us to eat. They’re so..."

While talking, Chu Lingxuan and the old marquis suddenly appeared at the entrance of the yard. Following them was Chu Lingzhi, and Manager Luo, who had been running errands in the Capital City.

Seeing Manager Luo returning, Chen Afu guessed that results for Chen Shiying must have come out.

Chen Afu and the children stood up to greet the old marquis and Chu Lingxuan. Ms. Chu, who had grown older, was too shy to jump into her father’s arms and instead performed a standard ritual."
