There is a pregnant woman at home

Xiao Xiao and I chatted and laughed in the kitchen and started making dumplings. Unexpectedly, Ji Luojue walked over slowly.

"Shall I help too?" She suggested to us with a smile on her face, with a calm expression on her face, completely unable to see the gloomy look just now.

"No need." Xiao Xiao waved her hand: "Isn't my sister-in-law pregnant? You should have a good rest." As she spoke, she glanced at Ji Luojue's flat abdomen out of professional habits, and asked, "It's only been a month or two, how much is it now?" Not very noticeable."

A trace of displeasure flashed across Ji Luojue's face, and I knew it must be because of Xiao Xiao's heartless "sister-in-law".According to what she said just now, this title directly made her old, and of course she would be unhappy.

But people with good backgrounds are much more self-cultivated than us ordinary people. Not only did they not show it, but they also talked to Xiao Xiao very affectionately: "Xiao Xiao is married? He even gave birth to a child? It doesn't matter. come out."

Xiao Xiao's face instantly turned suspiciously red, his eyes quickly swept across my face, and then he replied embarrassedly to Ji Luojue: "No."

Her reaction is purely the most normal reaction that a girl who has not left the cabinet should show when marriage matters are mentioned, but I didn't understand a little bit. The person who asked the question was Ji Luojue, why are you sweeping me?

"Oh, I'm sorry." Ji Luojue apologized very perfunctorily, and then said casually as if trying to excuse herself: "I heard your tone of voice just now, it seems that you are very familiar with pregnancy, so you just said ..."

She was just talking casually at first, but the expression on Xiao Xiao's face became serious.

"It's like this. I'm an obstetrician and gynecologist, and I come into contact with pregnant women every day, so I'm familiar with these."

Ji Luojue froze for a moment, and then glanced at me suspiciously.

Conscience of heaven and earth, this is really a coincidence. Is it possible that I can calculate so cleverly that you will be my brother's mistress, that you will be pregnant, and that my brother will get you to me to have a baby? Then you have nothing to do and prepare an obstetrician and gynecologist for you in advance?

Xiao Xiao seemed to think that this coincidence was too dramatic, looked at me and then at Ji Luojue, smiled and said, "Speaking of which, it's good for my sister-in-law to live here. I'm an obstetrician. What do you have in the future? It’s so convenient that you can find me anytime you need.”

Ji Luojue thanked her politely and politely, and asked casually: "I thought you and Xiao Er were colleagues, but I didn't expect you to be a doctor."

"Where am I supposed to be a civil servant? When I see those exam questions, it's all over the top."

Xiao Xiao looked at me with a bit of admiration in his eyes, please allow me to imagine so arrogantly for a while.

"Cheng Er is different, smarter than me."

These words were meant to compliment me, but I don't know why Ji Luojue had a smile on his face after hearing this.

"Well, Xiao Er is smart."

The scene is a bit wrong again. Why do I feel like I have become someone’s exclusive pet? When I was taken out for a walk, a passer-by casually praised me, and the owner was so happy that he wished he could raise his tail to the sky.

"I'm talking about you two," I had to stand up and interrupt: "If you want to chat, please go to the living room, please?"

My kitchen is not big, and the two of them occupied one end, chatting very enthusiastically with me in the middle.The key is obviously under the banner of coming in to help, but from the beginning to the end, one with his hands behind his back and the other with his chest hugged, how does it look like he is working?

Fortunately, after being reminded by me, the two of them also felt embarrassed. Let's take the unnatural look on Ji Xiaosan's face as shame.

So, when the scene changed, the two of them switched to the same position with a handful of leeks and continued to chat.

I held my breath up and down my throat, so I had no choice but to carry the bowl of kneading noodles and turned to face them.

"How do you and Cheng Er know each other?" Ji Luojue held a leek in her hand, pinched the head with one white hand and the tail with the other, and pulled it down from bottom to top. The speed was quite fast, and after a while , there is only half a leek left.

"That's quite interesting to say," Xiao Xiao was very happy to bring up this topic, and before Ji Luojue could ask him carefully, he explained everything clearly.

"Cheng Er has a colleague who is my classmate in junior high school. Last year, my dad suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized. I am used to being extravagant, and I couldn't save money at all, so I asked my classmate to borrow it. But who wants to catch up with her? I was going to get married, and I spent a lot of money, so in desperation, I asked Cheng Er to borrow some money for me."

"Oh? So before you guys knew each other, Cheng Er lent you money?"

Not to mention that Ji Luojue found it unbelievable, even I, looking back now, wonder if there was a wrong nerve in my head at that time.

Only Xiao Xiao was still very excited: "So this is fate, I didn't expect Cheng Er to be so kind-hearted."

"Really?" Ji Luojue looked up at me, kneading the last half of a leek into a vegetable ball with green fingers.

I laughed dryly "hehe", and somehow said, "I'm not kind-hearted. At that time, my brain was short-circuited. You try to borrow it from me now? It will definitely not work."

After repaying the mortgage every month, there is only some rations left, and I am almost carrying a bowl to be helped by others. How can I go to help others?

"Yeah, yeah, you know I'm not asking you to borrow money now, so you say that on purpose, right?"

Of course not... I faintly felt that Ji Xiaosan's sharp eyes were sweeping my back, and I was so frightened that I didn't dare to turn my head back.

"And then?" Ji Luojue's voice came from behind again, still calm and full of smiles, I thought I would never be able to achieve such a skill of inconsistency.

"After paying back the money, I will treat her to dinner."

I think Xiao Xiao must have told many people about this "singing and tearful" story, and maybe the entire department has already memorized it fluently by now, otherwise how could she answer Ji Xiaosan's questions so fluently, as if she had already answered thousands of questions? all over the place.

"I was afraid that she wouldn't come, but I didn't expect her to come as soon as I called. I think Cheng Er is kind-hearted and straightforward, so I made this friend at that time."

Why don't you eat a free meal?I sighed in my heart: After all, we have only known each other for a short time, Xiao Xiao still doesn't know me well enough.

Ji Luojue was different, she pursed her lips and secretly laughed for a long time, and then unceremoniously exposed my shortcomings: "You think highly of her, maybe she just went there for free food, such a thing When she was in college, she did a lot of it."

Xiao Xiao froze for a moment, I was just thinking that a meal without money is not so unacceptable, so I heard her ask with surprise: "Sister-in-law and Cheng Er are college classmates?"

Ji Luojue didn't answer right away, but instead gave me a meaningful look - I didn't look back, it was just a feeling.

"Yes, we were good... friends in college."

Everyone has the heart to gossip, Xiao Xiao is no exception, but her point of gossip seems to be different from others.

"So, sister-in-law met her brother through Cheng Er's introduction?"

As soon as this question came out, the entire space fell silent.

I sneered and complained in my heart: Ji Luojue, Ji Luojue, I told you to get to the bottom of other people's trivial matters, how about you accidentally lifted a rock and smashed your own foot?

I am an ordinary person, and I am also a normal ordinary person. Seeing her speechless, I feel an indescribable pleasure in my heart, but it is undeniable that I have a little expectation.

What to expect?Of course, I want to know how Ji Luojue removed the stone in front of her from her feet, and at the same time... I want to know how she and my brother hooked up.

Ji Luojue replaced it with another brand new leek some time ago, but it must have been at least half a minute ago, because when I turned my head to look, it had already been torn down to only a small half.

"No." As expected of the daring Ji Xiaosan, he did not speak lies against his conscience.

"Cheng Yi and I met after Xiao Er, and we had graduated for several years at that time. We... have lost contact for a long time..."

It should be my illusion, when this sentence was said later, Ji Luojue's voice unconsciously carried a little sadness, as if she was mourning something.

"Oh." Xiao Xiao responded without any emotional fluctuations.That's right, for people other than the person involved, this is at most a short story, so just listen to it casually.

But I am not, I am very anxious, because she has not given the answer to the second half of what I want to know.

In the end... how did you go there with my brother?And why did you have to pester my brother?Could it be... is it really a coincidence?

Fortunately, God help me, Xiao Xiao asked the next sentence very gossipy: "How did the sister-in-law and Cheng Er's brother know each other?"

This time, Ji Xiaosan calmed down a lot: "Oh, I just met by chance at a friend's party, and I only found out that he is Xiao Er's brother when we dated later."

I think it is very likely that she made up the answer in advance, otherwise how could she answer so quickly?

The leek in Ji Luojue's hand was picked up again, and I watched her raise her hand to pick up another one with a bit of distress.No matter how cheap leeks are, they can be bought with money, okay? I really don’t know what kind of structure is in the heads of young ladies like you who don’t know the sufferings of the world. You can waste food casually without blushing and heartbeat.

In such a distracted effort, Xiao Xiao threw out a question again, this time it was really a blockbuster, and even I didn't know how to answer it.

"How long have sister-in-law and Cheng Er's brother been married?"

In fact, from someone else's point of view, there is nothing wrong with such a question... right?

It's just that I really don't know what to do when I switch to our place. I secretly looked up at Ji Luojue and thought: Even if she lied at this time, it is justifiable. After all, no one wants to be known as a mistress. no?

Ji Luojue seemed to feel that I was looking at her, raised her eyelids and gave me a gentle smile, and replied: "We are not married."

Xiao Xiao was stunned again, so it's no wonder that the answers to these questions today seem to be a little abnormal, and it would be incompetent for anyone to accept them.But obviously, she misunderstood the meaning of Ji Luojue's words.

"Ah? Oh. Actually...it's the same after having a husband and a child and then getting married. Many people are like this now..."

Thank goodness she gave this perfect explanation, which made me feel relieved.
