Chapter 14 Blood connection
This was the most comfortable sleep Jia Hu had had since coming into this world. When he opened his eyes, it was already bright daylight. After waking up, Jia Hu turned his head and saw Jia Zhu sleeping with his belly exposed. Jia Hu felt a little itchy and poked the exposed belly a few times, feeling the soft and tender sensation of his fingers. He couldn't help but laugh. After poking the belly a few more times, he covered him with the blanket again.
Jia Hu had already slept well, but he didn't want to get up and wanted to stay in bed a little longer. He hadn't enjoyed this peaceful time in a long time. Suddenly, Jia Zhu started groaning, as if sensing that it was dawn or that someone was touching his stomach. He was about to wake up with some whimpering. Jia Hu quickly reached out and patted him, and Jia Zhu rolled over and went back to sleep. The maid, hearing the commotion, came to check on him. Seeing that Jia Hu was awake, she whispered, "..."
"Young Master, is it time to get up?"
Jia Hu thought for a moment, remembering his grandfather's instructions yesterday that there was no need to pay respects today, and then said:
"I'll lie down for a while longer."
The maid smiled and left.
Jia Hu began to clear his mind, once again grateful to have returned to this world. His life as an orphan in the modern world had been incredibly difficult, with immense external conditions and psychological pressure. Returning to this world, Jia Hu immediately felt relaxed and no longer wanted to work as hard as he had in his previous life to change his situation. He decided not to overwork himself.
As Jia Hu lay there, clearing his mind, Jia Zhu rubbed his eyes with his little hands, about to wake up. Jia Hu watched his movements with a smile. After waking up, Jia Zhu's rosy cheeks lit up with a smile, and he called out in his childish voice:
"elder brother."
Jia Hu was instantly struck by the adorable Jia Zhu. He thought to himself that many people enjoyed raising children virtually when they weren't in modern times, and he now understood their mentality a little better. Children are so cute when they're not crying or making a fuss, like little angels.
After calling out "Brother," Jia Zhu said, "Brother, I need to go pee."
Jia Hu immediately snapped out of it and quickly sat up.
An old woman came in, and upon hearing the noise, she quickly entered and said:
"Young master, I'll take you there."
As he spoke, he carried Jia Zhu out to relieve himself.
After Jia Zhu returned from relieving himself, Jia Hu also decided to get up. Several maids came in and began to help the two of them wash up. Jia Hu couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. In modern times, he could rely entirely on himself, but now that he was in ancient times, he was experiencing the life of a young master. This wicked society was truly...
Jia Hu was very self-aware. He knew that he was powerless to change the times and could not make any changes. He could only treat his servants well, like a leader would treat his employees, unlike those who did not treat their servants as human beings.
Jia Hu and Jia Zhu had a very lavish breakfast, a level of dining they would never have dared to dream of before.
Jia Hu ate to his heart's content. After the two had breakfast, since their grandfather had already said there was no need to pay their respects, and since their grandfather was seriously injured and they had already visited him yesterday, they decided not to disturb his rest this morning. They thought they would go later and decided to visit their respective mothers first.
Jia Hu led Jia Zhu to his mother's courtyard. Zhang Shi had just finished breakfast and was also looking forward to visiting them. When she saw them arrive, she smiled and asked, "Hu'er, Zhu'er, did you rest well last night?"
Jia Hu and Jia Zhu bowed and said, "Greetings, Mother and Aunt!"
After bowing, Jia Hu said, "Mother, I slept very well last night. I wonder if Mother slept well?"
Madam Zhang said with a smile, "Mother slept very well last night. Zhu'er, are you going to see your mother later?"
Jia Zhu nodded, looking at Zhang's belly. Zhang smiled and waved to Jia Zhu.
"Come here, Pearl."
Jia Zhu cautiously stepped forward, and Zhang Shi took Jia Zhu's hand and placed it on her stomach. The baby in her belly was very cooperative and kicked.
Jia Zhu was extremely excited and exclaimed, "My little brother kicked me! My little brother kicked me!"
Zhang asked:
How did you know it was your younger brother?
Jia Zhu said:
"I knew it was a little brother inside."
Zhang already had a son, so she wasn't too picky about whether she wanted a son or a daughter for her second child. She felt that either would be fine. She had also heard from elders that children have sharp eyes and can see things that others can't. At this moment, she wondered if it would be another son? That would be good too, as he could keep Hu'er company.
Seeing Jia Zhu's delighted expression, Jia Hu also wanted to reach out and touch his younger brother, but as a grown man, he was too embarrassed to ask!
Zhang, who was looking at him, smiled and said, "Come on, come and touch it, take a look at your little brother."
Jia Hu listened, and gently touched her belly with her little hand, feeling the baby kick. She was actually quite moved.
This was the kinship he had longed for in his previous life. So this is what it feels like to be connected by blood? Jia Hu thought to himself, "My dear brother, when you are born, I will treat you a thousand times better, so that you can grow up happily."
