His family hosted a welcome dinner for him, and also invited Deng Jianyan's family. Hanhan, along with Deng Lisheng and Xiaojin, were having a great time playing upstairs and downstairs.

Deng Jianyan and Zhou Xing sat on the sofa chatting. Deng's sister-in-law sat to one side, feeling uneasy and unsure of what to do with her hands.

"Sister-in-law Deng, don't sit here and watch them chat, it's boring." Qin Xiaoyu rescued her and led her into the dining room.

Zhou Xing's mother was directing the guards and the housekeeper to cook when she saw Zhou Xing return and hurriedly asked, "How is it?"

"My Aunt Feng has agreed to help."

"That's good. Aunt Deng, you can sit down. You don't need any help."

"Mom, Aunt Deng must be bored sitting here. Come over and chat with us," Qin Xiaoyu said, coming to her rescue again.

"This room is really big," Sister-in-law Deng finally said after a long pause.

"Take your time. Your house will get bigger and bigger. I, Brother Deng, am capable, so you should take care of it."

"What skills does he have? He can't do anything except treat patients. He can't even steam a bun properly."

"Being able to treat illnesses is a great skill. Xiaoyu, I had Dr. Deng examine my wrist. He gently pulled and rotated it a few times, and the pain was gone. Isn't that amazing?" Zhou Xing's mother proudly showed Qin Xiaoyu her jade-like wrist.

"Look at my mom's little arms, they're like a piece of lotus root, so beautiful."

"You silly child, are you teasing me again?" Zhou Xing's mother pretended to hit her, but Qin Xiaoyu giggled and ran towards the door, bumping into Zhou Yue's arms.

"Look, I've drawn a few more pictures. You can take them to Master Xu tomorrow." Zhou Yue was disheveled and looked like she was going crazy, spending all her time drawing at the table.

"Let Xiaoyu rest for a bit, she's just like you," Zhou Xing's mother complained.

"What did I do wrong? Oh, Mom, you're not allowed to take out the trash in my room anymore. You threw away the half-finished drawing I did last time!" Zhou Yue was still angry.

"Stop! Stop arguing! It's nothing, nothing!" Qin Xiaoyu quickly stopped the fight from escalating when she saw Zhou Xing's mother about to join in.

"Xiaoyu, the trench coat you asked me to alter is finished. It's big enough, like something a pregnant woman would wear?" Zhou Yue said, glancing at Qin Xiaoyu. Her waist was at most 1.7 feet, she didn't look pregnant at all.

"No, it's a classmate, a bit chubby." Qin Xiaoyu didn't want to talk about it; she could feel Zhou Xing's mother's gaze.

"Xiaoyu, I have something to tell you." Deng Jianyan greeted her at the entrance of the dining room. Qin Xiaoyu quickly led him to the balcony.

“I went there. Wenwen’s weight has been increasing too quickly recently. I’ve already made her restrict her diet. The fetus is too big, and there will be risks at birth. We need to control it,” Deng Jianyan said with a stern face.

"Okay, Brother Deng, don't worry. Is there anything else I should be careful about?"

"Her due date is approaching. Have you contacted a hospital yet? Although I can deliver the baby, it's best to go to the hospital. The hygiene at home isn't good, and if an infection occurs, it would be a huge loss." Deng Jianyan is a doctor and is very cautious.

“I need to think about it. I can’t go to the military hospital. Although it’s convenient for you there, it’s too close to my mother-in-law’s house. What if we run into a neighbor?”

Qin Xiaoyu thought about it for a long time, and finally called the head nurse of the Second Light Industry Hospital, who immediately agreed.

“I know there’s a private room at the very end of the corridor. Few people go there; it’s quiet and not crowded, but it’s expensive,” the head nurse said.

"Okay, don't worry about the cost, I'll cover it."

"That's a private room, you booked it all?"

"Yes, sis, please help me with that." Qin Xiaoyu felt relieved after making the arrangements.

The meal was very lavish, with more than a dozen people at the table. It looked more lively than usual. Commander Zhou and Deng Jianyan shared a drink.

"Eat, don't just look." Zhou Xing's mother took the serving chopsticks and kept serving food to Sister-in-law Deng and the two children.

Sister-in-law Deng could only blush and say thank you, but the two children didn't care about that and started eating heartily.

"How's the deal with Little Sun going?" Zhou Xing hadn't seen Qin Xiaoyu for the past two days and was very concerned about it.

"And you're right to say that? Your intelligence is inadequate, you deserve criticism," Qin Xiaoyu said bluntly.

"How so?" Zhou Xing put down his chopsticks.

"Xie Lanhua and Director Fei's husbands are both deceased. You only wrote those two words, without any details." Qin Xiaoyu ignored him and continued eating and drinking.

"He's deceased, what more details do you need?" Zhou Xing said, feeling wronged.

"See, Little Fish is right. Your intelligence work is really inadequate, Hanhan."

"Here!" Hanhan stood up and saluted.

"Tell your Uncle Zhou how to gather intelligence."

"Yes! We must observe comprehensively, not overlook any details, be proactive and meticulous, and analyze rationally."

"Look, you're not even as good as Hanhan." Commander Zhou waved for Hanhan to sit down.

"Sigh, Dad, in your eyes, when have I ever been better than Hanhan? You've all heard the saying, right? 'Neither grandma nor uncle loves me,' that's me." Zhou Xing took the opportunity to complain to Deng Jianyan.

"And me too," Zhou Yue added without missing a beat, "My mom picks on me every day, saying things like, 'That Xiaoyu did this and that...'" Zhou Yue pouted.

"You did a bad job, and you blame me. Xiaoyu didn't do a good job either, and I criticized her the same way. If you don't want to hear what I'm saying, then don't let me find fault with you." Zhou Xing's mother was furious.

"Let's eat, it's getting cold." Qin Xiaoyu had no choice but to step in and smooth things over.

"Dad, is it useful for Hanhan to learn these things at such a young age?"

"Whether it works or not, you can ask him yourself," Commander Zhou said smugly.

“It was useful. I used it when I was abducted to the mountains,” Hanhan said earnestly, putting down her chopsticks.

"Tell me what it is." Qin Xiaoyu really hadn't thought about what kind of crazy idea Hanhan had in her little head.

“When I first arrived at the farm, I thought about escaping on my own. But after some research, I realized that it was impossible for me to leave the mountains by myself; I would either freeze to death or be eaten by wolves. So I carried out my second plan, which was to lull them into a false sense of security and make them think that I was behaving myself.”

"Look how smart he is, knowing not to act rashly!" Commander Zhou immediately chimed in with a comment.

"What happened to your injuries?"

“They didn’t hit me; I was playing with those kids and it happened. They liked me a lot. They liked it when I told them about the new things in the city, they gave me nice things to play with, and they even roasted potatoes for me. It’s just that they were very rude. Maybe it’s because of my upbringing. They don’t know how to treat others gently and kindly.” As she said this, a hint of melancholy appeared in Hanhan’s big eyes.

"You like them a lot?" Qin Xiaoyu had seen those children before; they were all dirty, their necks covered in mud, and they were hardly endearing.

“Yes, they are good children, but their living environment is not good. When I grow up, I will be able to help them and I will take them out of the mountains.” Hanhan said seriously, like an adult.

"Hanhan is amazing!" Zhou Yue couldn't help but exclaim.

“Indeed, this child has a broad perspective.” Deng Jianyan nodded in agreement.
