C77. Wild Wolf 'Tomato'.

Chapter 77

Song Junshui and Jin Qiao'er followed Wang Yuanwai's carriage. Heidan accompanied by her two younger sisters, tears in their eyes, bid farewell to their parents, their noses twitching.

Song Dingxiang, amused, asked, "Heidan, do you want to go too?"

Heidan nodded and blinked his big eyes at Song Dingxiang.

Song Dingxiang said, "Your parents went to work in the past. Look at how few characters you can recognize, what can you do in the future? You should study well, at the very least learn how to do accounting, to be able to help your parents."

Heidan wiped the tears from his eyes, sniffled, and said, "I already know many characters..." he finished and then shyly hung his head.

During the severe drought, many schools were closed, as finding food was difficult, who would still go to study?

Heidan completely let loose, although he couldn't eat enough, he could still play. After playing for such a long time, when he returned to school, he found that most of what his father and brother had taught him had been forgotten.

Suppressing a smile, Song Dingxiang patted Heidan's head, "You are the older brother, and you also have two twin sisters. Do you want your sisters to learn too? You should come back and teach them every day after studying. When you all recognize characters, you can all help your parents, right?"

Heidan looked at her two identical sisters, nodded forcefully.

Song Dingxiang's belly was getting bigger day by day, as the weather grew hotter, she, who was never used to the heat, started to suffer in the summer and developed morning sickness as well.

Fang Shi was extremely anxious, finding ways to cook for her every day. Even the two best chefs in the General's residence were called over to the courtyard, and the first thing they thought about every day was how to get Song Dingxiang to eat a few more bites.

"Madam, there's a letter from the capital." Zhenshu entered with a box, opened it to reveal the envelope inside.

Song Dingxiang, reclining on a tree shade, with a gauze canopy surrounding her daybed, not only provided some wind protection but also kept mosquitoes at bay. Mosquito repellent pouches were hung at the corners of the canopy, brought back from the capital.

Zhenshu entered the canopy, sat on a low stool next to her, and asked, "Is there news from the capital again?"

Song Dingxiang looked at the letter and smiled, "It's Zhou Ge's brother, Zhou Yulin, who is finally getting married. The date is set for the sixth of August, about three months from now."

Zhenshu smiled, "That's good news. I still remember Second Young Master being scolded by the Princess for not finding a suitable lady back then, and now, he's finally getting married. But August sixth... By then, Madam, you'll be close to giving birth, right?"

Song Dingxiang nodded, "I certainly won't be able to go. I don't know if Zhou Ge will go. It happens that I have been researching some new crochet methods recently, so I'll prepare a gift for them."

"Madam, these are the snacks you ordered, please try them and see if they suit your taste." Little maid Jin Ling stood outside the canopy with a plate of delicacies.

Zhenshu brought the plate in and placed it on the small table, looking at the contents inside and smiled, "Did you really make all of these?"

Song Dingxiang, suffering from summer heat and morning sickness, and being pregnant made her a bit gluttonous, wanting one thing one moment, and another the next. Other pregnant women might not dare to admit their cravings, fearing ridicule.
