Chapter 152
Evening.
"Darling, look, the babies are moving again."
Gu Jinchen placed his hand on her belly, tirelessly waiting for the little ones inside to respond to him. Each time there was a slight movement, he was beside himself with joy.
Luo Ge was at a loss with his antics.
"Be good, little ones. Did you find the story Daddy just told you delightful? Wait a moment, Daddy will continue reading to you."
Without even waiting for Luo Ge to speak, Gu Jinchen started reading from the storybook he had retrieved from her space.
This all began a few days ago when Luo Ge was chatting with Qin Mianmian during a stroll, discussing prenatal education.
At the time, Luo Ge had casually mentioned it.
She said that according to people from her hometown, if you start interacting with your child and doing some prenatal education when they're five or six months along, the child will be closer to you later.
This "hometown", of course, referred to her life in the modern era.
Gu Jinchen, who was nearby at the time, had caught wind of it.
Unexpectedly, he took it to heart. These days, he's either reciting poetry or telling stories to her belly, day after day.
Whether it has any effect on the babies is unclear at the moment.
However, its effectiveness in lulling her to sleep is absolutely fantastic.
Mainly because his voice is the deep, magnetic kind. When reciting poetry or telling stories, he always keeps his voice very soft.
It's very soothing and enjoyable to listen to.
Plus, his pace isn't fast, and he always likes to gently stroke her belly while talking, making her feel drowsy as she listens.
"My dear, let's sleep." Just as she was listening, Luo Ge let out a sleepy yawn.
After hearing Gu Jinchen's response, she closed her eyes, and in no time, the sound of steady breathing could be heard.
Seeing this, Gu Jinchen smiled, gently kissed her forehead, then carefully set down what was in his hand and held her as he lay down to sleep.
A night of sweet dreams.
...................
The next day.
Early in the morning, after carefully instructing Qiu Niang and the others at home, the Gu family set out.
"Rice cakes for sale! Homemade lucky rice cakes, tasty and affordable!"
"Selling candied haws! Tangy and sweet candied haws..."
"Hey, come in and look at the fabrics, customer! The New Year is just around the corner. Buy some new fabric to make a set of new clothes, perfect for wearing during the New Year."
"Lanterns for sale! Beautiful and practical lanterns, take a look whether you're passing by or just walking through!"
With the New Year approaching, the provincial city streets were bustling. All along their walk, they heard vendors' calls.
Many scholars were also selling their handwritten Spring Festival couplets at the alley entrances.
It was quite lively.
The two little ones were staring at the lantern stall, unable to take their eyes off it.
These colorful lanterns were all handmade by the stall owner, created from bamboo strips and paper.
Some were shaped like flowers, while others were rabbits or mice.
There were also small square lanterns with little animals painted on them.
The stall owner had dyed them and painted them very vividly.
Children love this kind of thing the most, and their two little ones were no exception.
Gu Jinchen squeezed through with the two little ones to get lanterns, not forgetting to bring back a small rabbit lantern for her as well, completely coddling her like a child.
"You can't eat these hawthorn candied haws. We'll make other flavors when we get back."
Later, when he bought candied haws for the two little ones, he didn't buy her share, and specifically explained why.
After saying this, he took out a pack of peach shortbread cookies and handed them to her.
"These are for you."
The little ones had their treats, so naturally, his wife couldn't be left out.
