"Egg, what's wrong?"

"Don't cry, don't cry, Egg, the name I gave you is so beautiful."

Lu Fangfang quickly picked up her son and gently comforted him.

The baby lay in her arms and cried even louder.

"Okay, okay, stop crying."

Lu Fangfang held the egg, kissed it, and then prepared to breastfeed.

Her son only cried once when he was born, and he hasn't cried during the day. This is the second time he's cried, so maybe he's hungry.

Hmm, it's definitely not because of the name!

The child is too young to understand these things.

"Fangfang..."

Zhuang Mingcheng opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

But remembering that Sister Shufen had told him not to upset his wife, he swallowed back what he wanted to say.

The old man is really something, why did he only give me a formal name and not a nickname?

Zhuang Wen, Wenwen...

Okay, let's just call him Egg.

Zhuang Mingcheng looked at his son and thought to himself, "Son, I've tried my best. Don't blame me later."

"Mingcheng, what's wrong?"

"I...I'm going to make fish soup. We'll be able to eat it soon. You can rest for a while."

Zhuang Mingcheng picked up the fish and went to the hospital's kitchen.

After stewing for more than two hours, he ladled it into a bowl, served his wife and children their food and drink, and as darkness fell, he finally relaxed.

He was exhausted after staying up for a day and a night without sleep.

He left Xiao Hua and the little Tibetan fox to guard the spot, then lay down on the bed next door and soon fell into a deep sleep.

...

After spending three days at the county hospital, Lu Fangfang prepared to take her child back home.

Hospitals in those days were very rudimentary, not as comfortable as home.

Zhuang Mingcheng was afraid the wind would blow on his wife and baby, so he kept delaying until noon.

He helped his wife put on a hat and a military overcoat, then helped her to the gate of the courtyard and into the jeep.

Xiuxiu, holding the baby, sat down on the other side.

Little Flower and Little Tibetan Fox also jumped up.

"Xiao Liu, drive carefully."

"Commander, don't worry, I guarantee I'll get your wife back safely."

The driver responded and drove off in the jeep.

Zhuang Mingcheng waved and called the little wild donkey over.

"Oh...ah..."

The little wild donkey couldn't wait any longer.

It barked urgingly, then pulled Zhuang Mingcheng along and chased after the jeep.

There was only one person in the car, Zhuang Mingcheng.

The little wild donkey, as if it were running wild with joy, ran at its fastest speed.

"Slow down, slow down, you stubborn little donkey, slow down, you're going to shake me to death..."

Zhuang Mingcheng, sitting on the donkey cart, was startled.

He crouched low, gripping the donkey cart tightly, feeling as if he were about to fly away; the donkey cart was now going faster than a jeep.

Ahead, the little wild donkey ignored Zhuang Mingcheng; its speed didn't slow down at all, but instead increased even more.

Soon, the little wild donkey led Zhuang Mingcheng and caught up with the jeep.

"Oh...ah..."

As it was about to overtake the jeep, the little wild donkey grinned, clearly very happy.

Inside the jeep, Lu Fangfang was quite surprised to hear the braying of the wild donkey.

Turning her head, she saw a wild donkey pulling a cart that whizzed past the jeep and ran to the front.

This clown actually tried to outrun a car.

"Sister-in-law, your donkey is amazing! It runs faster than a cart."

The driver looked at the little wild donkey ahead with great admiration.

With his sister-in-law and child in the car, he didn't dare drive fast.

Before long, the little wild donkey had pulled ahead of them again.

"Hey, this gluttonous donkey, it just loves to race people, now it's even racing cars."

Lu Fangfang held the child, smiled, and shook her head.

Soon, the jeep carried the group back to the regiment's family compound.

At this moment, Zhuang Mingcheng was already waiting in front of the courtyard.

Seeing his wife come downstairs, he quickly helped her back into the inner room.

It's still a bit chilly at night, so he heated the kang (a traditional heated brick bed) early, making the room warm and cozy.

Lu Fangfang lay down on her warm kang (heated brick bed) and finally relaxed completely.

"Qingqing, Dandan, we're home. This is our home."

The two children looked around the house with curiosity. They didn't cry or make a fuss the whole way, which was very reassuring.

Lu Fangfang scratched their little faces, then picked up each child and started breastfeeding them.

After a while, just as she was about to lie down and take a nap, she saw several women from the family compound come in.

Ye Cuifen, carrying a basket of eggs, beamed with joy, "Xiao Lu, you're finally back!"

The other sisters-in-law also each brought their own things.

Everyone looked at the two children on the kang (a heated brick bed) and praised them highly.

"Oh my, these two children are so cute and chubby. Their skin is just like Xiao Lu's, so fair and clean."

“His eyes look just like Xiao Lu’s. Look, he even smiled when we were talking to him.”

"Xiao Lu, what names did you choose for the two kids?"

Lu Fangfang asked Xiuxiu to pour tea for her sisters-in-law, and then said, "Brother's name is Dandan, and sister's name is Qingqing."

"Egg? Green? These are nice names."

"Hey, look at this kid, all white and chubby, he really does look like an egg."

"Wow……"

Dandan was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) when his sisters-in-law touched his face, and he immediately started crying.

Seeing this, Lu Fangfang could only pick him up again and coax him softly.

Looking at the women who came over, she realized they had all cleared wasteland along the riverbank. Without hesitation, she asked about the military officers.

“After those two military officers finished their inquiries a few days ago, no one else came.”
