Chapter 621: Chapter 621: Liu Sisi’s Solution
Liu Sisi didn’t move for quite a while, and then realized suddenly, “You mean… Old He diagnosed that I’ve hurt my body by giving birth to Niuniu and therefore… I can’t have more children?”
“Don’t worry, Sisi! If we can’t have more, we won’t. We already have Niuniu, Chou Chou, and the baby. And there’s Cheng’er, Xuan’er and YingEr. That’s enough. Really, it’s enough. I, Di Yelei, will not be greedy.” Di Yelei hurriedly comforted her, worrying that Liu Sisi might feel burdened.
That’s a very strange thing to say! Liu Sisi thought, amused and confused at the same time.
That being said, the tight knot in her heart has actually relaxed.
She playfully traced circles on Di Yelei’s chest with her fingers, “Yelei, I’m sorry for behaving like this. But recently I’ve… really not been in the mood…”
“My little fool, I understand! Your body hasn’t fully recovered yet. We have a lifetime to spend together. So what if we abstain for a few days? Just sleep now. It’s already very late.” Di Yelei comforted her, got up to put out the lamp, and returned to her arms to drift off to sleep.
It was indeed late. As Di Yelei next to her gradually fell asleep, Liu Sisi stayed awake.
Her mind was filled with thoughts of his consideration, his gentleness, and his care. A sense of regret bubbled up from within.
Next time! Next time she would definitely make it up to him.
As she let her mind wander, she found herself falling asleep without realizing it.
When she woke up, the sun was shining on the windowsill, and Di Yelei was already out. Liu Sisi hurriedly washed up, checked on the children, and took Di Ying out of the manor.
The reason she brought Di Ying instead of Di Xuan was because Di Xuan had gone out with Di Yelei. The little ones were too young. After Chou Chou’s fever last time, she dared not casually take the children outside.
Liu Sisi had several places to go today. One of them was the porridge shed outside the city, which had been established for several months. She had been preoccupied before and hadn’t been able to visit after her recent childbirth and subsequent period of confinement.
When she arrived by coach, it was between 9 and 11 o’clock.
Ahead of the porridge shed was a dense crowd. Four long lines snaked around to the large porridge pot, forming an extensive queue around the moat.
Liu Sisi got off the coach and slowly walked forward, holding YingEr’s hand.
As she walked, she carefully observed the reactions of the people outside the porridge shed. Most of them awaiting their portion of porridge had stoic expressions, with no superfluous behaviors.
People at the forefront simply handed over their bowls when it was their turn and stood still as the server scooped up a spoonful of porridge into their bowls. Then, they silently picked up their porridge and made way for others.
After that, some people hurriedly left with their porridge. Some people, seemingly afraid of being robbed, gulped down the hot porridge disregarding the scalding sensation.
Of course, Liu Sisi also noted that some people were shameless. They had already been informed before the distribution that everyone was limited to one serving of porridge per day. However, there were always those who, after getting their porridge, would take their bowls to the back of the line to queue again for more. Even line-cutting shameless individuals were present, which left Liu Sisi speechless.
Before she could reach the front of the porridge shed, Liu Sisi noticed a sudden commotion ahead.
“Hey, you! You’ve already received porridge twice today. Are you here for more? Can’t you leave some for those behind you?” shouted the soldier serving the porridge, looking as though he had no intention of serving him.
“Just a little bit! Just a little bit…” The man shamelessly held out his bowl, standing his ground as if he wouldn’t leave until he was served.
The soldier looked visibly angry, he raised the big spoon in his hand and waved it menacingly at the man.
