Old Li and Li Dahong had people sent by Song Yan secretly following them, reporting news at any time, so Ye Nian'an wasn't too nervous.

Li Dahong has been causing quite a stir at the steel plant these days. Although there are many rumors circulating, it has also had some effect.

Factory Director Tian promised to provide Zhang Weiguo with full compensation in accordance with regulations and to transfer him to a less strenuous position that did not require manual labor.

Li Dahong returned home with his head held high after winning the somersault against the hen.

Later, Zhang Weiguo was discharged from the hospital.

I plan to rest at home for a while before going to work at the steel factory.

These were all things that Chu Xin'er told Ye Nian'an.

Right now, they are both busy preparing for their first college entrance examination in December.

Chu Zhenyuan had to return to the military region to handle some matters, so he left after a week.

Chu Yan specifically applied for a two-week leave this time. The organization not only approved it, but also called him after learning that he had seven children to ask if he wanted to take more time off.

After all, Chu Yan completed the mission so well, and he was a key figure in the country's development program. The God of War owes a debt of gratitude, and his wife had just given birth, so it was a time when she needed his company and care.

Since the leaders had agreed, Chu Yan added five more days, taking a full twenty days of leave.

It just so happens that Ye Nian'an is about to be born.

During her postpartum confinement period, Chu Yan took care of all the household chores.

Whether it's buying things, making furniture, or taking care of children... take it all on and do your best.

I will never let my wife get even the slightest bit tired.

Ye Nian'an was happy to reap the benefits without lifting a finger, while he focused on studying for the exam.

Anyway, Chu Yan will be leaving in twenty days, so he should take advantage of this time to bond with the kids and let the man experience how difficult it is to take care of children.

Taking care of ten children was quite tiring, but fortunately the Chu family was well-off and hired three wet nurses.

With the help of Chi Xinyao and the Ye family, and the fact that the children were very obedient, the family's success was further enhanced.

The three-year-olds, Dada, Er'er, and San'san, are already sensible, talkative, and self-sufficient, needless to say.

The key is the seven newborn babies, who are unbelievably well-behaved.

Even the three nannies who were responsible for taking care of the baby were amazed, saying they had never seen such a well-behaved child who rarely cried.

Ye Nian'an had experience taking care of Da Da, Er Er, and San San, and she clearly felt that these seven children were particularly easy to take care of right after they were born.

In fact, most newborns just need their diapers changed and be fed, which is nothing special.

The most exhausting part is the crying in the middle of the night, which keeps many parents up at night.

These babies never cry at night and disturb the adults. After feeding, they can sleep soundly until dawn, which is very convenient.

If one or two were like this, it would be one thing, but if all seven were like this, the nanny who came to help kept praising Ye Nian'an and the others for being so lucky.

The family has ten children, all of whom are so well-behaved, sensible, cute, and endearing.

Ye Nian'an unconsciously thought of the words of the white-haired immortal in the space.

These seven children must have received the blessing of koi fish from the immortals; they might really become lucky little koi fish.

Thinking about it this way, she felt even more hopeful for the future.

As for things like preparing milk, Ye Nian'an left it all to her spatial abilities.

Because the space is quick and easy to prepare, the kids love to eat it.

She has a very sweet tongue and often says, "Mommy, your milk-making skills are getting better and better!"

Er'er chimed in, "Yes, Mommy, this milk tastes so good."

San San looked up at her with her little face and asked, "Mommy, can I have another cup?"

Ye Nian'an was both amused and exasperated by these words.

It's made by mixing milk powder with spring water.

But perhaps it was the modern high-tech features in the kitchen that made the difference.

The milk they prepared was so delicious that the little ones kept asking for more.

Not only that, Ye Nian'an also let the space take care of all three meals a day.

Since it's all automated, Ye Nian'an only needs to hide in the kitchen, close the door, and do whatever she wants.

The best part is that it's incredibly delicious! No one will suspect anything!

Time slipped away little by little.

Until the day Ye Nian'an was out of her confinement period.

Chu Yan is also leaving.

The daffodils on the windowsill are in full bloom.

The fragrance, mingling with the jasmine scent in Ye Nian'an's hair, wove a gentle net in the greenhouse.

Chu Yan stared at her back as she bent over to pack her luggage, the sight of her waist outlined by the military green sweater making his Adam's apple bob involuntarily.

She had just finished her postpartum confinement period, and her cheeks still had a rosy glow.

The ends of her hair had regained their usual neatness, with a few wisps hanging down her neck, swaying gently with her movements.

Watching her every move closely, I imprinted everything about her into the depths of my soul.

As usual, Ye Nian'an packed some snacks for Chu Yan to eat on the road into his luggage: osmanthus cake wrapped in oil paper, beef jerky in glass jars, White Rabbit milk candy, and spiritual spring water in a kettle... Mission accomplished.

"Alright, Brother Yan, we can set off comfortably tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yan stood up, wrapped his arms around her from behind, brushed his chin against the top of her head, and his stubble lightly brushed against her earlobe: "Niannian, marrying me is truly a disservice to you..."

Even if all the children are beautiful and well-behaved, taking care of them day and night is still a tiring task.

Ye Nian'an harbored the dream of going to university, juggling the task of soothing and feeding her baby while studying late into the night, spinning like a top in two directions.

As a soldier, Chu Yan guarded his country but could not protect his wife and children.

The thought of her bearing all of this alone made my chest feel like it was stuffed with a wet cotton ball, causing a dull ache.

"Don't talk about these things between husband and wife, Yan-ge. Since it was my decision to have the child, I naturally considered all the things that might happen in the future."

Ye Nian'an brushed her fingertips against the stubble on his chin, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons as she smiled: "I don't blame you. On the contrary, I'm proud of you."

"Who can blame me when my man is so outstanding? Especially since he's such a young Commander Chu?"

Then, she wrapped her arms around Chu Yan's neck, stood on tiptoe, and smiled at the man in front of her.

"It's almost Chinese New Year. I'm waiting for you and Dad to come back so the whole family can have a proper reunion. By then, the little ones will be much older."

"I'll send you a telegram as soon as I get my university acceptance letter!"

Chu Yan stared at her glistening lips, his Adam's apple bobbing as he leaned down to kiss her lightly and deeply, as if afraid of breaking a precious jewel.

"I've already spoken to Song Yan and the others, asking them to lend a hand, as well as Li Dahong and the others. If there's any trouble, I won't let them off easily."

"rest assured."

Ye Nian'an hooked her arm around his neck and shook him, her eyes as sweet as honey. "Those are ten pieces of my heart that fell from my skin. If anyone dares to have any ill intentions, I'll kill them!"

As she said this, her eyes were filled with blatant murderous intent.

In this lifetime, I will never let those scumbags hurt my child even a little bit again!

The emotion came quickly and suddenly, and after a flash, Ye Nian'an pinched Chu Yan's arm muscles and asked in a gentle voice, "These past twenty days have been tough. Are you tired?"

"Not tired."

Chu Yan pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, his voice muffled and hoarse: "But the thought of having you take care of ten kids makes me feel like I owe you so much..."
