Cheng Qiao keenly sensed Qin Daqiang's anger and quickly smiled to smooth things over: "Captain Qin, this is my eldest son Xuhui. He has been going to school with Lele since he was a child, and they have a very close relationship."
Cheng Qiao used the word "very close" instead of "very good", which means that the two of them have a family relationship, which is completely different from what Qin Daqiang thought.
Only then did Qin Daqiang realize that he had misunderstood, and he also remembered that Li Bing had told him that Xuhui was the benefactor who saved his nephew, and he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
"Boy, you look pretty good, do you want to join the army?"
Xuhui's eyes lit up. His father was a soldier who sacrificed his life to defend the motherland. As the son of a soldier, joining the army was his dream.
Cheng Qiao was anxious, so she pulled Xuhui over and whispered something in his ear. Xuhui's eyes lit up, and he smiled at Qin Daqiang and said in a sonorous and powerful voice:
"Captain Qin, I want to join the army, but not now, but in two years."
Qin Daqiang frowned slightly. He didn't understand why Xuhui had to wait two years before joining the army. Sixteen years old is the best age for a kid to join the army. It would be difficult to train if he missed it.
But Xuhui is Li Huan’s eldest son after all. Even if he wants to bring him to his side, it depends on whether Li Huan and his wife are willing.
"Okay, if you want to join the army, you can join in two years, but you have to promise to come to my garrison."
Xuhui didn't say anything. His mother asked him to apply to a military academy after graduating from high school. If he was admitted, he would not have the final say on where he would be assigned.
Qin Guoqing glanced at Xuhui and felt very proud. This boy was only six years younger than him, but when he married Lele, he would have to call him uncle.
Since Qin Guoqing and his team took the opportunity to take leave to receive the goods, they could not stay long and had to go back early the next morning.
But this time Jiang Meili stayed. Her due date was in August, and she came back to give birth. Also, because of her big belly, she had been transferred from the art troupe to the logistics department.
After some work done by her father Jiang Hua, the reporting date for the logistics department was postponed to after Jiang Meili gave birth. This way, Jiang Meili had more time.
Originally, Yuan Qin wanted to take care of Jiang Meili during her confinement and had prepared everything, but he did not expect that Jiang Meili suddenly announced that she wanted to return to Xiangyang Village to give birth.
Yuan Qin was so angry that he saw stars. He couldn't keep this girl anymore. You know how much money and energy he spent after he found out she was pregnant.
She prepared the child's clothes, bottles, diapers, cradles, and strollers early on, and even found a carpenter with good craftsmanship to make them.
Even the eating, drinking, defecating and urinating necessities that Jiang Meili would need during her confinement were slowly being prepared. Unexpectedly, at the last minute, Jiang Meili actually wanted to go to Xiangyang Village to give birth.
In that poor mountainous area, there is no medical care or equipment. What if something unexpected happens during production
Jiang Meili glanced at her biological mother. She knew very well what her biological mother was planning. She wanted to secretly register the child's household registration when Li Bing was not around after the child was born.
Of course, the household registration must be registered with Yuanqin, and the child must have the surname Jiang. Don’t ask her how she knew it. She must have heard it from the corner when she went to the toilet at night.
She didn't dare tell Li Bing about this. Li Bing was not Li Huan. He doted on his wife to the extreme. Even Cheng Li's last name was requested by Li Huan himself.
If she dared to do so, she believed Li Bing would not let it go. In fact, she could understand her parents. Like Cheng Qiao, she was an only child, and parents naturally hoped to have offspring.
But they don't know Li Bing. If you talk to Li Bing carefully, maybe this matter can still be discussed. After all, the Li family already has Li Ming and Li Xiaonuan.
But if you want to act first and report later, you are destined to get nothing. Even if there is a lawsuit, the Jiang family will be in the wrong, because Li Bing gave enough betrothal gifts in the first place.
But she didn't dare to offend her parents too much. You know, even after getting married, the ancestors said that daughters would always be close to their parents' home. She didn't want to have a falling out with her parents because of this issue.
Therefore, the only way is to give birth in Xiangyang Village, and then directly register the household registration in Xiangyang Village. Anyway, after the child goes to school, the household registration can still be transferred with the parents.
"Sister-in-law, I'll leave my wife to you. I don't understand why she didn't give birth in the military hospital and had to come back here, but I believe she must have her reasons for coming here."
Cheng Qiao smiled and nodded. She thought of Jiang Meili's strong mother, who probably wanted to escape from the "clutches". No one wants to live under the shadow of others.
After Li Bing and his companions left, Cheng Qiao took Jiang Meili's pulse and discovered that her fetus was in an abnormal position. If it continued like this, giving birth would be very difficult unless she had a caesarean section.
"Meili, your fetus is in an abnormal position. Do you want to choose a cesarean section or start correcting the baby's fetal position now?"
"I don't want surgery. It will leave a scar on my stomach."
"Then correct the baby's fetal position. You must walk 5,000 steps every day, and then I will ask my master to prepare some pills for you."
Jiang Meili was very happy to hear that it was Ye Jun who prescribed the pills for her. Ye Jun was a famous doctor. If he had not been harmed by a villain, he would definitely have become a big name in the medical field.
The summer wind was hot even when it blew on the face. On the hottest day in August, it rained heavily, which scared Li Huan.
There won’t be another flood this year, Cheng Qiao shook his head. Little Redhead has been on the mountain all the time. If anything happens, this guy is most afraid of death and will definitely go down the mountain first.
But he did not feel the breath of the little red-head at all, which meant that this was just an ordinary rainstorm. Li Huan was relieved, but Li's mother ran in and called Cheng Qiao nervously:
"Coincidentally, Beauty has started."
Cheng Qiao quickly put on his shoes and ran to Jiang Meili's room. Sure enough, Jiang Meili's face was pale and she was breathing heavily, and it was obvious that she had already started.
She couldn't help but sigh. She asked Jiang Meili to go to the hospital to give birth two days ago, but she was unwilling to do so because Yuan Qin came. She was always worried about her daughter, so she followed him.
"Meili, how are you now? Let me check you out first to see if it's too late to go to the hospital."
Jiang Meili shook her head, but looked at Cheng Qiao anxiously. Cheng Qiao suddenly had an idea and looked at Li's mother and Yuan Qin: "Mom, go find grandma to deliver the baby. Auntie, go to the kitchen and boil some water."
After the two people left, Jiang Meili pulled Cheng Qiao's arm and asked her to pull away a brick on the wall, revealing a small cloth bag wrapped in brown paper:
"Cheng Qiao, you can't go to the hospital. Here is the marriage certificate. When I give birth to the baby, you should take the baby to register for household registration. The name has been chosen and is included in the marriage certificate. Remember to make sure it is surnamed Li."
