This is terrible! My future prime minister keeps trying to kiss me forcibly.

Chapter 235 Feeling sleepy and craving sour foods?

In early autumn, the air is filled with the rich fragrance of osmanthus blossoms.

Today, Mother He is at Widow Luo's house, learning from her how to make osmanthus cake.

Looking at the freshly baked osmanthus cakes, Mother He smiled and said:

"The osmanthus cake smells so good today, my family will definitely love it. Especially Xiao Xiao, she loves sweets and has been complaining of being hungry every day since we came home from the clinic. Yesterday she even asked me to make some extra so she could take it to the clinic to have a little something to eat."

"Sister He, do you think Doctor Xiao might be pregnant?" Widow Luo couldn't help but think that Doctor Ye was pregnant because she heard him say that he was hungry every day.

Mother He picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and was about to put it in her mouth when she heard what Sister Luo said and paused.

"Can't you?"

She spoke to her son about this a few days ago; didn't he take it to heart?

Mother He thought about what A-Jing had said: "My son said there's no rush now."

"Who knows? The young couple is full of youthful vigor, and they probably wish they could be together every day."

She even witnessed the two of them embracing and kissing upstairs.

However, Widow Luo did not say the latter part to Mother He's face.

When He's mother heard what Luo Da Meizi said, she felt there was some truth to it. Everyone had been through similar experiences, and naturally understood that some things were indeed as they were.

Thinking of this, Mother He suddenly felt a little worried.

Widow Luo looked puzzled: "What's wrong, Sister He? Judging from your expression, you're worried about your daughter-in-law's pregnancy."

"To be honest, Xiao Xiao is still young. I heard that it's better for her health to have children when she's a few years older."

"Besides, she now has something she enjoys doing, and the clinic has only been open for a short time. I don't want her to be stuck at home because of the child."

"Although she could continue to run her clinic even after having a child, once a woman becomes a mother, she will inevitably feel constrained in her actions due to the worries she has."

This was the first time Widow Luo had ever heard such words.

She was even a little envious of Dr. Ye for having such an understanding and kind mother-in-law, who treated Dr. Ye even better than her own daughter.

......

Xiao Xiao Female Doctor's Clinic.

Not long after Ye Xiaoxiao saw off the last patient, someone entered the clinic.

"Uncle Wang! What brings you here? Are you feeling unwell?"

Grandpa Wang handed the groceries he had brought from home to Ye Xiaoxiao.

“I’m in good health! Your Aunt Wang said she can’t finish eating all the vegetables she grows at home, and since I go to town every day, she asked me to bring some over for you.”

Ye Xiaoxiao happily accepted the medical record that was placed to the side.

"How has Aunt Wang been lately?"

Grandpa Wang nodded and then took something out of his pocket.

"This is what the village chief, Li Shanhai, asked me to give to you. He said it was what you were wearing when he found you. If you want to find your biological parents, this might be able to help you."

Ye Xiaoxiao took a worn, faded purse, embroidered with a—

dog?

Ye Xiaoxiao: ......

Whose child has a dog embroidered on their sachet? And it's so ugly.

She examined it for a long time, but still couldn't believe it was a dog.

Why did he suddenly become so kind?

Ye Xiaoxiao casually fiddled with the purse in her hand. The "he" she was referring to was naturally the village chief, Li Shanhai.

When Grandpa Wang heard her ask that, he sighed:

"Ah, it's all fate! One night, the village chief's wife went to the next village in the middle of the night, but she lost her footing and fell down the mountain. When she was found, half of her face had been eaten away by wild animals."

"One by one, the people around Li Shanhai left, and he couldn't hold on any longer. Overnight, his hair turned completely white, and he looked even more frail than this old man like me."

"That day, he called me over, fearing that his days were numbered, and gave me this purse, saying that he hoped to atone for his sins and wished me to find my family soon."

Grandpa Wang didn't stay long before leaving the clinic.

Ye Xiaoxiao held the purse without much feeling. She had no strong attachment to her biological parents, whom she had no memory of.

She now has family members she wants to protect.

As for the rest, let fate decide.

......

Ever since He's mother returned home, Widow Luo's words seemed to have left a knot in her heart.

When Ye Xiaoxiao returned home, she began to subtly probe her.

"Xiao Xiao, have you been feeling sleepy a lot lately?"

Ye Xiaoxiao ate the sweet osmanthus cake in her hand and nodded.

She starts feeling sleepy as soon as she finishes lunch every day, and her eyelids keep drooping.

When He's mother saw her nod, she was already thinking about how to discipline her eldest son when he returned.

She then asked, "Do you have a particular craving for sour or spicy food?"

After eating three pieces of osmanthus cake, Ye Xiaoxiao felt a little greasy. When her mother asked her this, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't finished the pickled lotus root she had made earlier.

"Mom, I suddenly want to eat that sour and crisp lotus root we pickled last time."

Upon hearing this, Mother He's heart sank.

Oh no! Could it really be pregnancy?

Feeling sleepy and craving sour foods, isn't this just like when I was pregnant with Ah Jing?

That brat He Jing completely ignored what I said! Fine, wait till he gets back and I'll teach him a lesson!

She turned and went to the kitchen to prepare a small dish of crispy lotus root.

Seeing He's mother's preoccupied expression and hearing her thoughts, Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but find it amusing and quickly explained:

"Mother, I know what you're thinking. Don't worry, it's not what you think. Jing and I know what we're doing."

She continued:

"My afternoon drowsiness is purely because I ate too much at lunch."

"I just wanted to eat crispy lotus root because I was craving it."

"Really?" Mother He stopped and looked at Ye Xiaoxiao.

"Of course it's true, Mother. Mother, have you forgotten? I'm a doctor myself. How could I not even be able to tell if I'm pregnant?"

Mother He breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good! That's good! Xiao Xiao, let me tell you, we're not in a rush to have a child."

Ye Xiaoxiao gave He's mother a reassuring look.

"Mother, don't worry. Jing and I both know what we're doing."

As the two were talking, a small figure ran back from outside.

"Mom! Sister-in-law! I'm back!" He Wuyang, the little girl, ran over, covered in sweat.

As soon as she saw the food on the table, she didn't even have time to put down her schoolbag before sitting down and starting to eat heartily.

"Mom, your pastries are getting better and better!"

He Wuyang gave a thumbs up and then proved the deliciousness of the osmanthus cake with his actions.

Mother He was amused by the little girl's appearance and asked again.

"Where are your brother and Shi'an?"

"They went fishing with the stream next door."

Mother He nodded. It's good for him to get out and about more. She felt that Wuyou was turning into a bookworm lately.

The two families have recently become closer, and since the children are all around the same age, they quickly started playing together.

Widow Luo's son, Xiaohe, was young but had a remarkable skill in fishing.

This earned him the admiration of He Wuyou and the others, who would go fishing with him every few days.

Today, the group came to a river in the town again.

"Xiaohe, why are you carrying such a big iron sledgehammer out today?"
