Two new people came and filled the Jiang family's house. Fortunately, the house was wide and the yard was big. Outside, the trees were lush and green, and the vegetable garden was full of fruits. It was full of vitality and verdant green, with occasional crowing of chickens and quacking of ducks.
Zhan Aiping made a schedule, assigned people, and arranged all matters in an orderly manner. Although there were many people in the family, it was not messy and everyone did their own things. The five children were also taken care of well. She hung ribbons around the children and put a form next to it, recording their eating, drinking, defecating and urinating times, so that they could see everything at a glance.
As for Shen Liqing's mother Chen Yulan, Zhan Aiping did not arrange any work for her, and asked her to just stay with Shen Liqing.
Chen Yulan looked at her two grandchildren and Shen Liqing, who was comfortably recuperating after giving birth. She felt a little upset. It seemed that her daughter didn't need her.
Even though there were two people recuperating after childbirth, everything was in order here. There was no noise or quarrel. The management of the children was all under the control of "Doctor Zhan". Even if Chen Yulan raised objections, no one supported her. "Doctor Zhan" had the final say on how the children were treated and how they were taken care of.
This is not her home. Even her daughter lives in someone else's home. She is not the mother-in-law in charge, so no one will listen even if she says something.
Chen Yulan said, "Even if he is a doctor, so what? How can young people take care of children? I am your mother who has been through this. Let's go back to your own home. I will definitely take good care of you. You can't delay the child. I don't think Doctor Zhan can raise the child well."
"I think the baby is not wearing enough clothes. Do you want to... and during your confinement..."
Chen Yulan kept talking in front of Shen Liqing.
Shen Liqing ignored her words. If she was asked to take care of her during her confinement as her mother said, she would be crazy.
Fortunately, she came to the Jiang family, and fortunately, they were in confinement together. Shen Liqing raised the corners of her mouth and said, "Mom, please don't be nosy. Take a break and go around. The scenery nearby is nice. Just take it as a way to relax. I don't need your help here. I feel very comfortable every day in confinement. Look, the child eats well and sleeps well, and doesn't make any noise. How great. Don't nag me here."
"Don't talk for now, let's listen to music quietly."
Zhu Hui went to study in the county, and she lent her old record player to Zhan Aiping, who brought it to the Jiang family and played some music for them, all symphonies, pleasant violin sounds, and melodious piano sounds...
Chen Yulan shut up. As she listened to the beautiful piano music, she felt even more choked up inside.
These young women really know how to enjoy themselves.
Chen Yulan: "You guys are still listening to this music, do you still want to drink two cups of coffee?"
Shen Liqing said, "Mom, do you want some coffee? We have some at home."
Chen Yulan was shocked: "That's not for foreign guests, how come you have it?"
Shen Liqing: "The coffee producing area is not far from here."
Chen Yulan: “…”
Zhan Aiping brought over two cups of hot buffalo milk and said, "Be careful. Let them cool for a while. Don't get burned."
She had a good relationship with the nearby commune, and many villagers were loyal listeners of her "Science Story Radio". Zhan Aiping often looked for people to exchange some buffalo milk, and those who raised buffaloes were familiar with her. When Shen Liqing and her husband were in confinement after giving birth, she also went to exchange a lot of buffalo milk.
Now there are refrigerators in hospitals, and buffalo milk can be frozen and stored for some time.
"Aunt, you should go have a drink too."
Chen Yulan was really attracted by the scent of milk, so she went outside to drink hot milk.
Shen Liqing heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her leave. She thanked her, "Pingping, you are really amazing. Thanks to you, we have managed this small confinement center so well. Sister Qin and I are so comfortable."
Zhan Aiping had previously joked that theirs was a "small confinement center", which made Shen Liqing remember the name "confinement center". Now she directly used this name to describe the Jiang family.
Qin Lanfang also said happily: "Yes, thanks to you being here, everyone is not so slow and confused, and we are all relieved."
With Zhan Aiping around, she can find the cause of any problem or discomfort the baby has. She is also professional in breastfeeding. As long as the two people in confinement have any discomfort or problems, Zhan Aiping can answer them. What else do they have to worry about
Zhan Aiping smiled and said, "Do you think I'm the vice president for nothing? Of course I can manage this small confinement center in an orderly manner."
"Amazing, I admire you." Shen Liqing said enviously, "Really, I just realized now that you, Doctor Zhan, have so much knowledge. You seem to know everything. There is nothing you don't know."
Zhan Aiping said: "If you listen to my science stories more, you will learn more."
Shen Liqing couldn't help laughing, "Listen, I will listen to your science story broadcast every day from now on."
He Lingling came over to take a look, and she sighed rather sadly, "I also want to stay in your small confinement center."
Unfortunately, she hasn't given birth yet, and when she does, this confinement center will probably be disbanded.
Shen Liqing said: "You, stop sighing, or the child will come out with a sad face."
He Lingling said, "I'll hug your two fishes. I hope I have a fish at home, too, so it's slippery and won't make me worry."
He Lingling was very envious of Shen Liqing for giving birth to twins, a boy and a girl, smoothly.
Shen Liqing: “…”
He Lingling came and went back. Qin Yanfang and Zhao Jing and his wife came to deliver crucian carp, several fresh crucian carp, and some tender water tofu. Zhan Aiping asked Jiang Meihui to cook crucian carp soup.
In the evening, Jiang Meihui cooked a big pot of crucian carp soup, with crispy yam and lotus root slices, and old hen soup. There was a thick layer of chicken fat in the soup. She scooped out some of it and used the remaining chicken fat soup to cook vegetables.
There was millet porridge, steamed soft steamed buns, and a few sweetened poached eggs in the pot.
Chen Yulan's eyes widened when she saw these things.
In Shanghai, although there is a large supply and demand for materials, you have to spend money to buy everything. But it is different here. Take the crucian carp for example, you can just catch it directly from the water. Yams and lotus root slices are free. The vegetables are grown in the yard and the chickens are also raised.
Thinking about having a baby, several families prepared to raise a few chickens early. Before leaving, Captain Jiang even exchanged a few chickens with his fellow villagers, waiting to provide them to nourish his wife.
Old Wang's family also prepared chickens, and Qin Yanfang and her husband also gave three chickens they raised in the hospital when they came to congratulate. Now it's just right to kill the chickens of the two families together. Without a refrigerator, the cooked chicken will go bad if it is not kept for too long, but live chickens can be kept forever, and the two of them can eat chicken several more times.
Jiang Meihui smiled brightly: "Come and try my cooking."
"This tofu is just average. Next time I will make tofu for you myself. The tofu I make is very tender and fragrant. Many people like it and ask me to make tofu for them every day. For someone like me, I must be a tofu beauty. The bean curd cakes I make are extremely fragrant."
No matter how much someone starves to death these days, the cook will never starve. Even with just bean dregs and rotten leaves, she can cook a delicious dish. This is why Jiang Meihui has achieved this physique through eating so much.
The crucian carp soup cooked by Jiang Meihui was fragrant and delicious. Several people praised it after eating it. Qin Yanfang said, "Let our Doctor Zhao catch some more crucian carp tomorrow."
"Don't think that he is a gastroenterologist and he does serious work. I guess he studied gastroenterology because he is not stingy. He eats everything, from the mountains and rivers. He knows how to dig honey, catch fish, pick mushrooms..."
Jiang Meihui: "You are in for a treat if you follow him."
Zhan Aiping said: "Yes, this is a guaranteed treat."
Zhao Jing said: "I treated the stomach upset directly."
Qin Yanfang's face darkened: "Don't curse me."
Qin Yanfang tasted the fish soup and sighed, "It's such a pity. Even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice. We have rice and food at home, but neither of us are very good at cooking. It's all wasted."
Zhan Aiping praised: "The dishes cooked by the Jiang family's aunt and sister-in-law are delicious."
Of course, she wouldn't say that her family's Mr. Gu's cooking is still the best.
Jiang Meihui was so flattered by their praise that she couldn't stop smiling: "Next time, I'll roll noodles with you myself. How about pork rib noodles?"
"Okay, okay, I'll wait to taste Sister Meihui's cooking."
Chen Yulan drank her soup without saying much. She went back to Shen Liqing and saw that Shen Liqing had crucian carp soup, chicken soup with vegetables, millet porridge, yam and lotus root slices, and poached eggs in sugar water... Although each portion was not much, it was very rich.
Everything is delicious.
Chen Yulan felt sad, thinking that her sister-in-law Shen Liqing didn't eat so well during her confinement.
"Qingqing, how can you do this? You still have to raise two children in the future. Don't spend money recklessly. How much food do you need to eat during this confinement period?"
"Your sister-in-law can't eat as much as you do."
Shen Liqing drank the fish soup and said, "I have to eat better during my confinement. How many times can a woman confine herself?"
"Besides, I didn't eat much. I'm in charge of Lao Wang's salary."
Although Shen Liqing had been lazy at home for a year without working, she didn't do any physical work because she was too lazy, so naturally she couldn't eat much. She just drank tea and ate something casually. In addition, she went to bed late and got up late, so she could just make do with whatever she wanted when she was lazy. One meal could last her a whole day, so she didn't spend much of Wang Youli's salary.
Since she didn't go out to work, her clothes and shoes were not worn out. She didn't go out to see people anyway, so she wore Wang Youli's old military uniform as pajamas at home and was able to get by.
Is this her alternative way of saving
Because I don’t work, I eat less, my clothes don’t wear out, so I don’t have to patch them up to make new ones, and I don’t have to spend money on beautiful little leather shoes…
When they got married, Wang Youli made her several beautiful dresses. She only wore those clothes with great care, and they still look good to her now.
Later, when she got pregnant and went to work, she also received a salary. She could eat meals at school and eat fruits at the hospital. The couple did not spend too much money.
"Are you in charge of his salary?" Chen Yulan's eyes widened.
Shen Liqing realized that she had said something wrong, and immediately changed the subject: "Well, he takes care of me. He tells me to eat whatever I want and buy whatever I want. I don't have to save money for him. I follow my husband wherever he wants. I listen to him. I never save money. I spend whatever money I have. I even asked someone to go to Shanghai to buy me some Queliang cloth. I want to make a beautiful skirt."
"Mom, look, I'm raising twins, so I have to eat better, right?"
Chen Yulan swallowed her saliva and said in amazement: "You didn't leave him any at all?"
Shen Liqing said angrily, "What's there to save? I want to eat fish and meat in big mouthfuls. Mom, we can't give up our good life and suffer."
Chen Yulan advised: "You must save more in the future. What if you need money urgently? Are you going to borrow money from others? Tear down the east wall to repair the west wall? Our family can't lose face like that."
Shen Liqing said in embarrassment: "This... There is nothing I can do about it. My parents and brother and sister-in-law will support me a little when the time comes. I will just have to ease the difficulties."
Chen Yulan snorted, "You should save money now and stop eating recklessly. If my son-in-law finds out that you are so extravagant, won't he despise you?"
Shen Liqing asked her to relax: "I am raising the offspring of his father Wang, so I have to eat and drink well. We can talk about saving money later. Why should I save money? It is him who has to get promoted quickly and get a raise. He has to work hard to support his children and his wife."
"Salaries have gone up, why save money?"
Chen Yulan was stunned: "... You, what kind of thinking is this?"
Shen Liqing: "As far as living a normal life is concerned, I married a good husband, and a man provides me with food and clothing. I came here with him in such a wronged way, so of course he can't let me suffer any more."
"Mom, please stop talking. You're interrupting my chicken soup."
Chen Yulan stared at her while she drank the chicken soup. The chicken soup in the white porcelain bowl was so fragrant, with a layer of yellow chicken fat floating on top. Even if only ginger and chopped green onions were added, it was still so delicious that it was fatal. The chicken meat was sweet, tender and fresh, and the aroma made people drool.
How can she eat so well
"When I was in confinement after giving birth, I didn't eat as well as you do."
Shen Liqing said: "I am lucky, these two fish are just like little koi."
"Mom, do you think I found a koi fish? I can find such a good military officer husband by just looking for a pen pal. Hehe, he even gave birth to two little koi fish."
"You—" Chen Yulan felt upset and said, "Don't think too highly of yourself."
My daughter ate so well during her confinement period, and there were so many people taking care of her. Not only did she eat better than me, she also ate better than her sister-in-law.
It’s obvious that the milk that her grandson and granddaughter drink is better than that of her grandson. Look at these two siblings, they are both so strong.
Chen Yulan felt extremely upset.
In her heart, her grandson comes first, and she feels bad that her grandson is not treated as well as her grandson.
*
Chen Yulan went to cook a bowl of meat soup for Shen Liqing. She was reluctant to put meat in the soup, so it turned out to be a messy bowl of mixed meat soup. She was about to serve it to Shen Liqing to eat so that she could replenish her body.
Jiang Meihui saw the bowl of soup and couldn't bear to see it anymore. She said, "Is this how you city people waste things?"
Chen Yulan said: "What a waste! This is a good thing. It will nourish my daughter's body."
Jiang Meihui pushed her away with her buttocks: "Don't enter my kitchen in the future. I just can't stand seeing people waste things. We country people eat bran and vegetables, and we can still eat them after cooking. You city people eat meat, but do you think people can eat it after cooking it?"
"I've been wanting to say this for a long time. The meat is in such a bad state. It's full of maggots. Even pigs wouldn't eat it in this hot weather."
Chen Yulan was pushed away by her, and she was furious: "Who said this is your home?"
Jiang Meihui said stubbornly: "This is my brother and sister-in-law's home, that's my home!"
Chen Yulan was so angry with her, but she had to bow her head under the eaves. This was indeed someone else's home, and no one would stand on her side even if she threw a tantrum. Chen Yulan, with a stern face, carried the bowl of meat soup and walked to Shen Liqing's bedside.
Her face was very ugly, and she threatened: "Qingqing, let's not stay in other people's homes. It's uncomfortable to stay in other people's homes, and it's not convenient for me to take care of you."
"If you continue like this, Mom will have to go back. If I go back, who will take care of your two children after you are out of confinement?"
Shen Liqing said nonchalantly, "It's okay, Mom. If you want to go back, go back. You really don't need to take care of this place."
"Are you stupid?" Chen Yulan scolded her, "You two kids, do you think you can handle it by yourself without your mother to take care of you?"
Shen Liqing said: "There is a nursery here, and there are people taking care of her. If she is really too much to take care of, I will send her to the nursery and let the aunt take care of her."
"How can that be the same? My grandson and granddaughter haven't been wronged yet."
Shen Liqing: "I take care of it myself on weekdays. I'm not busy at work as a teacher."
Although she teaches art and calligraphy to all grades, how many art classes are there
"I can take care of the child myself. Besides, there are little soldiers here to help. We can ask others to do the heavy work."
Chen Yulan rolled her eyes. "You're thinking too well. Do you really think this is a good thing? It won't be hard to take care of two children. If you wait until I'm gone, you'll regret it."
Shen Liqing: "Mom, please go."
"I—" Chen Yulan said firmly, "I can't leave so easily. You, you are my biological daughter. I can't let you regret it, and I can't leave my two grandchildren without anyone to take care of them."
Shen Liqing: "Don't worry, I live a comfortable life, and your two grandchildren will live a comfortable life too. I have been eating and drinking well here for a year or two. Before that, I didn't work and enjoyed myself at home every day. Old Wang was reluctant to let me do housework."
"If I really can't take care of the children, I won't work and just stay at home to look after them."
Chen Yulan exclaimed, "You haven't been working for a year?"
"You don't do housework?"
She accused him, "Whose daughter-in-law doesn't do housework? How can you be a daughter-in-law like you? Your sister-in-law has to work, serve her husband at home, and serve her parents-in-law. This is a proper daughter-in-law. This is how women hold up half the sky."
"Women should stay at home and take care of the housework."
Shen Liqing said, "Who made me meet a good man? Mom, Lao Wang is just like what you said at the beginning. He is a good man. He even wrote me a letter of guarantee. I showed you the letter of guarantee. He did most of the things except quit smoking. Oh, he also stopped smoking after I got pregnant."
"Mom, you have good vision. I listened to you and let me marry a good man."
Chen Yulan's face turned pale and she was speechless because of Shen Liqing's suppression.
She was so angry that she ran to the yard.
When Zhan Aiping entered the room, Shen Liqing sighed and told Zhan Aiping and Qin Lanfang about her mother. She had too many things to say: "My mother, sometimes I often doubt that she is not my biological mother."
"I found that she didn't want me to live a good life from the bottom of her heart. She didn't want me to live better than her, and she didn't want me to live better than my sister-in-law."
"When other people find a date for their daughters, they always pick the one with good conditions. What about her? She would say that whoever is poor or has a hard life is good. She told me that this man is a good person, even though his family is a little poor, but he is ambitious and an honest man. If you live with him, your life will be a little hard at first, but your life will always get better, just like me and your father..."
"She told me not to pick on a man's conditions, saying that as a woman, I have to accompany a man through hard times and support him."
"My mom chose my dad herself and was willing to live a hard life with him and slowly get better. That doesn't mean I have to choose a bad man and live a hard life with him..."
Shen Liqing said helplessly: "Why should I live a hard life?"
"She didn't let me find someone with a good family background, so I found one myself. My mother was quite satisfied with Lao Wang, even though he was an officer. I told her that I wanted to go to the border with Lao Wang, live a hard life and fight with him. My mother was very excited when she heard that. She supported me very much."
Shen Liqing sighed and smiled helplessly: "I don't know if she is really doing this for my own good or if she hopes that I will not live well."
"Just now, when she heard that I ate and used good things, she almost jumped up. Seeing her reaction, I was really disappointed."
"What mother doesn't hope her daughter has a good life? Chen Yuan is fine, she is my mother..."
Zhan Aiping said: "There are some people in this world who are jealous of their daughter's good life."
Shen Liqing: "My mother is biased. She just said that she couldn't stand me living better than my sister-in-law."
"It's really annoying." Shen Liqing said, "How can we persuade her to go back? She's staying here so stubbornly. She must have had a quarrel with her family and wants my dad, brother and sister-in-law to beg her to go back."
"My mom is gone now. My sister-in-law and the others are dying of laughter. How can we beg her to come back? They wish my mom could stay here longer. You don't know how difficult my mom is. Fortunately, this is not in my own home."
Zhan Aiping said: "How about I give you an idea that's suitable for you."
Shen Liqing asked anxiously: "What's the idea?"
Zhan Aiping smiled and said, "Just tell them that you want to send a letter home, call your sister-in-law, and tell her how comfortable you are here, what you ate and drank during your confinement, and how much your mother 'cares' for you. Here, you can also take pictures of the dishes you ate, and tell her that you want to send them to your sister-in-law."
Shen Liqing: "Brilliant, really brilliant, I understand..."
Isn't it just weird
Her mother didn't dare let her sister-in-law know how comfortable she was living here.
"My sister-in-law has a bad temper. Her family conditions are not very good, but she is very good at winning my brother's heart and making him obedient. I have long guessed that my mother is afraid that I will marry well, that I will live better than my brother, and that her grandson will be better than her grandson..."
Within two or three days, Shen Liqing "sent" her "biological mother" back.
After Chen Yulan left, Shen Liqing felt much better. She still felt bad that her mother treated her like this, but she also thought positively: "You have to live your life by yourself. Don't fight yourself. Just like the sunflowers planted in my yard, as long as you face the sun, there will be sunshine."
Zhan Aiping smiled and said, "You are carefree, have a good attitude, and are open-minded, so you enjoy eating everything. Even if you are extremely lazy, you are in good health."
*
Jiang Meihui applied the ointment given to her by Zhan Aiping and drank a dose of Chinese medicine every day. Zhan Aiping also gave her some pills, which Jiang Meihui took on time. She thought that Zhan Aiping was beautiful and the prescriptions she gave her must be reliable.
She was anxious to look at her face every morning, hoping the swelling would go down and those ugly red and white pimples would disappear. The white pus squeezed out of the red pimples almost made her feel sick. Although it had been so long and she didn't care much about it and didn't like to look in the mirror, she still felt uncomfortable.
When she took the medicine before, she would look in the mirror every day with anticipation. Unfortunately, the images in the mirror never gave her a good result.
When she got up and looked in the mirror, Jiang Meihui found that there were fewer pimples on her face. She raised her hand and touched it, and it was smoother than before. After touching it, she began to regret it. She blamed herself: "There are bacteria on my hands. How could I touch my face without washing my hands?"
Zhan Aiping told her to touch her face less, and to restrain herself if she wanted to touch it. She could only apply medicine on her face after washing her hands.
Jiang Meihui restrained herself from touching her face. She stared at the person in the mirror again and again, and said happily, "It seems to have really lost a lot of weight."
After a few more days, the red marks on Jiang Meihui's face became less and less, leaving only some shallow acne scars. When they fell off, fresh skin and flesh would be exposed.
"Doctor Zhan, you are really a miracle doctor! My face has gotten better!" Jiang Meihui now loves looking in the mirror and can't wait to see her face every day.
Zhan Aiping smiled and said, "Not bad, you have recovered very well."
Jiang Meihui has a big face like her brother, but her facial features are not big but rather delicate. After the redness and swelling on her face disappeared, her face became delicate and lovely, and her smile was very pleasing to the eye.
Shen Liqing and Qin Lanfang both congratulated her, "Your face has become more beautiful!"
"Congratulations!"
Jiang Meihui couldn't stop smiling.
Zhan Aiping said: "Then you can go out and pick a partner."
Based on Jiang Meihui's aesthetic preferences, there must be many suitable candidates among the soldiers, who are big, big-bodied, strong, and have a big head.
Jiang Meihui said shyly and happily: "No hurry, no hurry, I'll look for it slowly."
Zhan Aiping said: "That's right, wait until your brother comes back. There will be many people coming back with him, so you can take your time to choose."
Jiang Meihui scratched her palm and said, "Doctor Zhan, I don't really want to find a soldier."
Zhan Aiping was puzzled: "Why?"
"I think soldiers are not careful enough and too rough. I want to find someone who is careful and considerate."
Zhan Aiping: “… ?”
She wanted him to be strong and have a big head, but she also wanted him to be careful, kind and considerate.
Zhan Aiping asked, "Do you still want to find someone who can thread a needle and make clothes?"
Jiang Meihui chuckled: "It would be great if we could find it, Doctor Zhan. Although I can cook, I really can't do needlework."
"If only a man could sew."
She sighed: "I'm afraid I won't be able to find a man like that."
Zhan Aiping blinked and thought, my man is like that.
"Your requirements are really high."
Jiang Meihui said: "Let me tell you, I know it's hard for me to find a partner."
"It's okay, take your time to find it."
Jiang Meihui smiled and said, "Doctor Zhan, you are such a nice person. You didn't say that I was a toad wanting to eat swan meat, and you encouraged me."
Zhan Aiping said: "You have so many requirements, it's because you haven't met the right person yet. When you meet someone you like, you won't care about requirements anymore."
Jiang Meihui's eyes lit up: "Yes, I just haven't met anyone I like yet."
"Doctor Zhan, I don't know how to thank you."
Zhan Aiping smiled and said, "Then make me something delicious."
Jiang Meihui is very good at cooking, especially noodles and tofu. The noodles she rolls and the steamed buns she kneads are very delicious. The tofu she makes is fresh and delicious, and people can't stop praising it.
Jiang Meihui asked, "Do you want me to make you something delicious?"
Zhan Aiping said: "Please make me some Shaomai."
"What is Shaomai? I've never heard of it."
Zhan Aiping explained the method to her in detail, and Jiang Meihui was stunned: "Use dough to wrap glutinous rice? Then why not use steamed buns to wrap buns?"
Zhan Aiping smiled: "You can also try making steamed buns."
“Okay, next time I’ll try making steamed buns with dumplings, and also this dough wrapper to wrap glutinous rice.”
While Jiang Meihui was studying how to make dumplings, the men came back. Captain Jiang's house was now full of people. With the two tall men, Captain Jiang and Gu Sheng, the room seemed to have become smaller all of a sudden. Wang Youli, who was standing nearby, was anxious to see his son and daughter.
Captain Jiang and Wang Youli were both anxious to go into the house to see the woman and children. Zhan Aiping pushed a stroller out with two children and talked with Gu Sheng in the main room.
Knowing that they were coming back today, Zhan Aiping didn't sleep well last night. She was very nervous until she met them and then she relaxed.
Gu Sheng in front of him was wearing a military uniform, with his sleeves neatly folded at his elbows, revealing his strong and powerful arm muscles. He was wearing a hat, and his face under the brim of the hat became more resolute and handsome, and he looked a lot darker.
The two looked at each other without saying anything. Gu Sheng held his wife's hand, wishing he could take her home quickly.
Gu Sheng picked her up and rubbed her face affectionately: "Wife, let's go home quickly."
Zhan Aiping smiled and hugged his neck. This man was too anxious, as if he was standing at the starting line. As long as Zhan Aiping gave the order, he would immediately take her home.
"You don't want the child anymore? You're just going to take me back?"
The two babies in the stroller sat on the soft blanket, looking at their parents curiously. They can sit and crawl now. When they opened their mouths, there were four small white spots and four small tender teeth, which were newly sprouted but not fully grown.
Little Tangyuan grabbed a cloth tiger and looked up curiously with drooling: "What?"
My brother followed suit: "What?"
Gu Sheng asked curiously, "Can our child call me mom now?"
Zhan Aiping said: "It shouldn't be calling mom, it just makes some noises similar to mom and dad."
"Really?" Gu Sheng looked at the two kids with a smile: "Be good, come and call daddy for your old man to hear."
Zhan Aiping was speechless: "..."
She raised her hand and rubbed Gu Sheng's handsome face, and said angrily and amusedly: "Don't act like a big shot in front of the child!"
What do you mean by "I am the boss" or "not the boss"? He exudes a strong bandit-like air.
Unfortunately, her two children still gave their father face. Like yes-men, they looked up and asked curiously, "Hello?"
"Hmm?"
—It really startled a chorus of frogs.
Gu Sheng was also shocked: "You're giving face to your father like this?"
Zhan Aiping: “…”
Gu Sheng smiled and looked down at his wife: "Do you think they miss their daddy all the time? Otherwise they would call me daddy as soon as they see me."
"Your dream is just a pipe dream." Zhan Aiping twitched her lips and ruthlessly crushed his dream. "Your son and daughter have almost forgotten what their father looks like."
"I don't believe it. There must be someone at home who misses me. Otherwise, why do I sneeze every day? If it's not my son and daughter who miss me, then I guess who misses me. It turns out to be my wife."
"If she misses me so much, I must comfort her."
"How shameless." Zhan Aiping struggled to get off him, but Gu Sheng held her, and with her strength, she really couldn't break free.
Gu Sheng looked at her leisurely. He liked the feeling of suppressing her with strength, just like a tiger teasing its prey under its claws: "Don't struggle, it's useless."
Zhan Aiping: "… After decades of hardship and happiness, they are now back to the days before liberation. Some people have been out there for too long and have become wild, right? Have they forgotten that they are the lowest class in the family?"
"You think you are great outside and everyone under you listen to you, but when you go home you are still at the bottom."
Gu Sheng looked at her with a doting smile: "That will only count when we get home. This is not our home now."
Zhan Aiping: "… Go home quickly. I can't afford to lose face like this outside."
"I still have to talk to someone before I go back."
The two families in the house were having a lively reunion. Wang Youli was overjoyed to see Shen Liqing and the twins, "Which one is the older sister and which one is the younger sister?"
Shen Liqing was speechless: "What sister? Where is the sister? This is a brother."
"Oh, I forgot." Wang Youli was so excited to see the children that he called them "sister" or "sister".
"Look, look, look, the one that looks like mine is sweet and sour fish, and the one that looks like yours is pickled fish."
Wang Youli picked one up and said, "This one is really sturdy, like me. Is it pickled fish?"
"Bullshit." Shen Liqing: "She is like my sister."
"Like your pickled fish is that."
Wang Youli: “…Really?”
"You are so blind."
Wang Youli: “…”
They were having a lively time here, and Captain Jiang was holding his own big plate of chicken, and he was so excited, "This kid looks like me, with a big head and smart brain."
Qin Lanfang smiled and said, "Yes, he has a big head and is smart."
"They are really strong, much stronger than the sweet and sour pork. Even though there are two of them, neither of them is as big as ours."
Qin Lanfang: "It is quite big. It took a long time to be born."
Hearing her say this, Captain Jiang felt sorry for her. He immediately said, "Lan Fang, thank you for your hard work. We won't have any more children if we have this one."
"Brother! Brother, you're back!" Jiang Meihui was overjoyed to see her brother. "Brother! You really are my brother! How did your hair grow? How do you have hair?"
Jiang Meihui was also shocked. No one told her that her bald brother actually had hair.
Can I still grow hair after getting married
Captain Jiang looked at her and said unhappily, "Why can't I have hair?"
Jiang Meihui said: "Didn't you tell me before that people without hair are smart, and there is a word to praise smart people, called 'extremely smart', don't you want to be a smart person now?"
Captain Jiang: “…”
"I know you must be lying to me. You said before that long hair means short knowledge, but Dr. Zhan has such long hair, so she is smarter and more knowledgeable than you."
Captain Jiang blinked his eyes and said, "Sister, you are really good at talking."
"How did your face get better? Did Doctor Zhan cure you?" Captain Jiang raised his hand to pinch Jiang Meihui's face.
Jiang Meihui quickly dodged: "Don't touch my face with your dirty hands, there are bacteria!"
Captain Jiang: “…”
"Do you still want to find a partner? If you want to find a partner, please me quickly."
Jiang Meihui said: "I'm not trying to please you, I'm on good terms with Doctor Zhan."
Because he was in a hurry to get home, Gu Sheng put his wife down and hurriedly helped her pack her things. He wanted to take his wife home immediately.
Zhan Aiping looked at his anxious expression calmly.
Captain Jiang wanted to keep him: "Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Why don't you stay with your wife for two more days?"
"Your sister-in-law and I would like to thank your doctor Zhan very much."
Gu Sheng refused outright: "No, I'm taking my wife home. We'll see you later."
Captain Jiang: “…”
He quickly found a few young soldiers to carry the things, took his wife and dragged the baby stroller, and the family of four went back home.
Gu Sheng ran too fast and Wang Youlixiang couldn't catch up with him.
Captain Jiang: "Don't you have time to stay and have a meal?"
Wang Youli said, "I hadn't even thanked Doctor Zhan yet, and he took the person away."
"He's just not a human being."
Captain Jiang put his hands on his hips and said, "That's right."
Gu Sheng and Zhan Aiping returned to their own home. Although they had not lived there for a while, she had asked someone to clean it and it was spotless. Now that they were back, there were only the couple and their two little babies, and everything was exactly the same as before.
After there were no outsiders around, Gu Shengke hugged her without caring about anything else, wishing that they could become conjoined twins and never be separated.
Zhan Aiping was clinging to him, feeling sweet and embarrassed. She hugged his neck and said, "Look at you, you are so anxious. Everyone knows what you want to do. You can't lose face."
"What's there to be ashamed of? Is it embarrassing to want to hug your own wife?"
Zhan Aiping said helplessly: "The children are watching."
"Then let the children learn from them."
"Don't mess around."
Zhan Aiping urged him to take a bath and cook, and fed the two children some egg yolk rice porridge. Later, Zhan Aiping ate while Gu Sheng played with the two children. Dad had been away for a while, and they seemed to have some diaper friendship, and the kids had not forgotten their dad.
"Wife, did you teach the child to call me dad? And did you show the child my photo? Otherwise, why would the child be so close to me?"
Zhan Aiping said: "They will be close to whoever plays with them."
"They are really good sons and daughters to their father."
Zhan Aiping: "... you seem to feel good about yourself."
Gu Sheng smiled and looked up at her. Zhan Aiping felt a little uncomfortable with his gaze, so she kicked his leg.
"Wife, you are always saying one thing and thinking another. You miss me so much, but you won't say it out loud. When people are shy, they blush, but when you are shy, you just avoid them and keep them away."
Zhan Aiping said stubbornly: "Really? I would be shy? I have always been thick-skinned."
Gu Sheng looked at her with a pair of peach blossom eyes and smiled gently, his voice also carrying a sickening smile: "When we were at the Jiang family, your face was so red?"
Zhan Aiping: “!”
"I came back in such a hurry because I was afraid you would crawl into a crack in the ground."
Zhan Aiping was so angry that she said, "Why am I blushing? Stop talking nonsense, I don't believe it."
"Believe it or not, I saw it anyway. It's not easy for a big Pingping like you to blush."
Gu Sheng thought about it carefully and said with a smile: "You are quite shy in front of people you know?"
Zhan Aiping had a blank expression on her face: "I was afraid of hurting the reputation of Vice President Zhan."
How could she, the vice-president, be carried around by others
"I am the vice president after all. Don't move your hands. If you do that again, you will get a bed in the hospital."
Gu Sheng said: "You are still so fierce, like a wild cat with bared teeth and claws, but I am not afraid of you. Come, I will give you a gift."
Zhan Aiping asked curiously, "What gift? Did you sew me another cloth tiger?"
Gu Sheng said disdainfully: "Look at what you have become, a cloth tiger."
He handed her a box. When Zhan Aiping opened it, she found that it was a jade bracelet.
