Chapter 111: Bizarre

Zhang Lirong held back her question. She wanted to wait until Zhan Aiping really gave birth to a daughter. "Does your brother come to your house often recently?"

Zhan Aiping smiled and said, "I'm not feeling well, so my brother is here to help me with the housework."

Zhang Lirong said sullenly, "You do have a good brother."

Zhang Lirong also envied this.

Zhan Aiping stopped talking to her and went back to the house with her big belly. She felt heavy and easily tired and sleepy. Both Gu Sheng and Zhan Mingzhao told her to have a good rest. The two children also spoke softly at home, trying not to disturb their mother.

Gu Sheng would not be back until late at night, so Zhan Mingzhao cooked dinner and ate with him. He stayed at home that night and rushed back to work early the next morning.

After eating, the sweet and sour pork and the small glutinous rice balls went to practice calligraphy in the room. Zhan Mingzhao took out a dustpan and needle and thread to mend the clothes of the two children. Zhan Mingzhao frowned and said, "Why are your children's clothes torn every day recently?"

Zhan Aiping: "… fulfill their little wish, because the clothes that uncle mended are beautiful."

"No wonder my brother-in-law said that you spoiled them." His two little nephews don't have any major problems, but they have a lot of small ones.

Zhan Aiping said gently: "Who didn't have some vanity when they were young?"

"Children at that time had a hard time, not as good as we were when we were kids." Clothes at that time were monotonous, mainly black, white, gray, blue and green, and there were no fancy patterns. In the 1940s and 1950s, there were cheongsams and braids that came from abroad...

Zhan Mingzhao bit off the needle and thread. A dim light was on in the room, illuminating the hall for a moment, making it seem exceptionally empty. The yard outside was quiet, but the chirping of insects and frogs was very noisy, lingering in people's ears for a long time, so that they were ignored.

Zhan Mingzhao glanced at Zhan Aiping under the light. Her skin was delicate, and because of her pregnancy, her gorgeous and flamboyant face became much gentler. Zhan Mingzhao always knew that his sister was a very beautiful woman.

She is outstanding, strong-willed and beautiful. Most men dare not like her for fear that they cannot control her. Ordinary men like virtuous women who speak softly and gently, like a little bird.

Zhan Mingzhao asked her: "Do you regret it?"

Zhan Aiping was puzzled: "What do I regret?"

Zhan Mingzhao still felt sorry for his excellent and beautiful sister. He couldn't help but said, "Look at you, why did you fall for Gu Laowu? You are so outstanding. You stayed in Shanghai, which is the largest city with complete material support. It's good for you to work there or find a man you like and marry there, right?"

Zhan Aiping: "It's not bad here. Even though I'm retired, I'm still a soldier. Soldiers should be stationed at the border."

The border area was not peaceful at that time. There were constant conflicts of all sizes, as well as various espionage and enemy activities. The number of troops was also the largest at this time.

Zhan Mingzhao: "... Don't tell me those great principles of defending the country. I'm tired of hearing them since I was a child. I may be more selfish. I just hope that my sister can live the life of a girl in a big city."

Zhan Aiping: "You don't have to beat around the bush. I know you just don't want me to be a martyr's family member anymore."

Zhan Mingzhao: "Then you still—"

"There is no home without a country." Zhan Aiping said, "Forget it, I won't tell you so many big truths. Anyway, you are married and have three children. You should just hope that your brother-in-law is safe and peaceful."

Zhan Mingzhao: "I am only expressing my attitude in front of my brother-in-law. Don't think that just because I married Xiangyi, we are dependent on his family. I am from your mother's family, and I can't let him bully you. Let him remember your sacrifice, and don't become a division commander or army commander in the future and look down on others."

"There were so many people who changed their wives in the past. Sister, you should be prepared for danger and be careful not to become a wife who is always tired of you."

"I, as a member of his family, have to criticize him from time to time." Zhan Mingzhao couldn't stand Zhan Bo's attentiveness to Gu Sheng, as if their family really wanted to curry favor with him. Zhan Mingzhao was afraid that after a long time, Gu Sheng would look down on his sister.

You know, the monogamy system has only been implemented for about twenty years, and many people had concubines before that.

Zhan Aiping couldn't help laughing: "...Okay, you hit him slowly."

Zhan Mingzhao: "Sister, can you behave yourself?"

"He wouldn't dare." Zhan Aiping said this, but she was actually not sure, because she knew that life is long and people's hearts are changeable. She didn't know whether the former couple would become resentful of each other if they started over again.

They say there’s a seven-year itch… It seems like if you stay with someone for too long, you’ll get bored.

When dating, the ambiguous period is always the sweetest. When two people first get to know each other, there are always endless things to talk about. However, as the two people stay together for a long time, they get to know each other better, and they have said everything that needs to be said. Anything else will just be boring "old stuff", and the freshness will be lost. Life will become boring and tedious, and the rest of life will be just a matter of getting by and focusing on raising children.

We don't remember many happy days, broken things are often more profound. Tragedy is tearing beautiful things into pieces and showing them to people.

She chose to make up for her regrets and be with Gu Sheng. She wasn't sure whether they could be together until the end. After all, God always likes to play tricks on people.

"You told me to be prepared for danger, but I'll have to wait a few more years. It's not that easy for me, your sister, to become a wife who has been with you through thick and thin."

Zhan Mingzhao crossed his arms and said, "Look at you, you are too confident."

"Your man is a hot commodity, so keep a close eye on him."

Zhan Aiping's eyebrows twitched: "Brother, if you go back to ancient times, you might become a -" a champion of house fighting.

Zhan Mingzhao asked: "What?"

Zhan Aiping said: "It's nothing, my brother is very good, which makes me very happy. I still want to learn from you."

Zhan Mingzhao: “…”

"With a brain trust like you here, your brother-in-law will definitely not be able to escape from my grasp. What else can he do?"

Zhan Mingzhao: “…”

There is nothing special about his sister except that she is very reckless, confident and tough.

Late at night, Gu Sheng came back after Guo Bao Rou and Xiao Tang Yuan, brother and sister, had fallen asleep. Zhan Mingzhao didn't say anything to him. Well, without his sister's support, he was actually quite afraid of his brother-in-law. His brother-in-law was older now, had a higher position, and was more powerful. He felt guilty and short of breath in front of his brother-in-law.

But for his sister, he couldn't show any timidity. He was her family, so he had to stand up straight.

"Brother-in-law, please take good care of my sister."

Gu Sheng nodded. He took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and went back to the couple's bedroom. Zhan Aiping was sitting at the head of the bed with a book. Gu Sheng walked over and took the book from her hand, "Don't read for too long. It hurts your eyes."

"Really? Let me listen." Gu Sheng carefully placed a pillow behind her back, supported her bulging belly, put his ear close to her, and listened for any movement of the baby.

Through the layer of belly, I gently touched the little guy's fist.

Zhan Aiping said: "I suspect he is a little naughty boy."

This child is quite noisy.

Gu Sheng smiled gently: "If I had another daughter like you when you were a child, I would be complete."

Zhan Aiping pushed his face away: "Comrade Gu, can you please say something nice? Don't shake the morale of the troops. The organization needs a daughter who is obedient, sensible and can sing..."

Gu Sheng: "Report to the organization. Now that things have come to this, you have to face reality."

Zhan Aiping: "I don't believe it. Why do you say she looks like my daughter? I said she looks like you."

Gu Sheng asked: "Isn't Yuanyuan like me?"

Zhan Aiping covered her face and said, "She just looks a bit like you in terms of facial features, everything else is like me."

“My son is like me.”

"The naughty one must be like you. If you don't punish him for a day, he will tear off the roof."

Gu Sheng: "... Wife, you are unreasonable."

Zhan Aiping looked at him: "Do you still want to reason with a pregnant woman?"

"Comrade Gu, the organization solemnly tells you that I have the support of my mother's family."

"Your brother-in-law said he'd like to knock you over from time to time."

Gu Sheng said: "That's great. You can also tell him that his future brother-in-law will also give him a beating from time to time."

Zhan Aiping said: "You dare not."

Gu Sheng pinched her face and said, "You are the biggest protective umbrella in the family."

Zhan Aiping said: "My umbrella is leaking air."

She clearly didn't stop Gu Sheng from scolding the child.

Gu Sheng: "... Please leak more."

Zhan Aiping held her belly and lay on her side on the bed. Gu Sheng gently hugged her from behind, "Wife, I'm sorry."

"I know even if you don't tell me." It's just that I can't be with her during the birth. "The first time is the second time, it's familiar. There's nothing to worry about. Ming Zhao and my little sister are here."

*

When Zhan Aiping gave birth, Captain Gu was not there, and Gu Xiangyi stayed by her side. Zhan Mingzhao rushed over as soon as he heard the news. The two children, Guobaorou and Xiaotangyuan, asked anxiously, "When will mommy come out?"

“Almost there, almost there.”

This was not the first birth. This one went very smoothly. It was a little girl weighing five kilograms, and she cried very loudly.

Zhan Aiping listened to the loud voice and wondered if it was really a little girl like her

Sweet little marshmallow, has it turned into a big cotton stick

"Youyou and Yuanyuan, you have a little sister now!"

Gu Xiangyi felt relieved when his sister-in-law gave birth to the baby safely, and Zhan Mingzhao was also relieved and was busy running around.

Zhan Aiping did not stay in the hospital for long. She returned home to recuperate after giving birth. Her daughter, Little Marshmallow, slept soundly beside her.

This little girl cried loudly when she was born, but she was not very noisy. She ate well and drank well, and she would cry a few times. She was a very easy child to take care of.

Zhan Aiping stared at her younger daughter's face. She found that she didn't look like Gu Sheng, nor like her. Gu Sheng had a high nose and sword-like eyebrows, and the lines on his face were straight, sharp and tough, while she was also quite sharp and beautiful.

As for her little cotton ball, her facial features are very soft and delicate, just like a little cotton candy, soft and fluffy, and her smile is gentle and innocent.

Zhan Aiping couldn't help but wonder, with this kind of appearance, would her personality be like her, Zhan Dapingping

She and Gu Sheng actually gave birth to a daughter who looks like this!

Bizarre.

The little marshmallow seems to look like both of them, but also seems to look nothing like them. She is soft like a little dough and looks so gentle.

It was as if the sharp corners on her and Gu Sheng's faces were smoothed out.

Zhan Aiping: “…”

gentle

Is he gentle in character too
