Xiao Liu was completely bewildered; Xiao Erbao used to really like him.

What's wrong? Does he smell strange today?

Xiao Liu raised his arm and sniffed it; there was no smell!

Ever since Deputy Regiment Commander Xiao forbade him from smelling his sweat and odor on the two little ones, he would clean himself up before coming over every time.

Hmm~ Not bad, it's not a problem with the taste.

"Erbao, let Uncle give you a hug."

Xiao Erbao still couldn't forget his cowardly behavior just now, and kept turning his back to him.

"This kid is a little upset for some reason. You don't need to pay attention to him. He'll be fine in a bit."

Xiao's mother gently patted Xiao Erbao's bottom, her eyes full of tenderness.

What else could Xiao Liu do? He couldn't understand what Xiao Erbao was saying, and he couldn't even find out where he had gone wrong.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaoqing kissed Xiao Dabao and then started kissing Xiao Erbao, just to make Xiao Liu envious and jealous.

It's funny to think about it, but when Xiao Erbao saw Liu Xiaoqing reach out her hand to him, he was still a little reluctant. In his opinion, he and Xiao Liu were both men and should be on the same side.

But Aunt Xiaoqing is just as violent as her sister...

Fine, let's compromise then! This is only temporary.

Xiao Liu had other things to do, so he reluctantly left, leaving Liu Xiaoqing to help look after the child. Xiao Ma and the village chief's wife then got to work preparing the dinner.

"You seem to be in a good mood today?"

Liu Xiaoqing touched her face and said, "So obvious?"

Actually, she also really wanted to share some gossip, and since Gu An'an had already asked, she couldn't resist even more.

Do you still remember that jerk?

Although they didn't mention his name, it seems that the only scumbag they both know is that one guy.

"Are you still in contact with that person?"

Liu Xiaoqing quickly waved her hand, "I didn't owe him anything, why would I contact him? He's the one who came to me."

Seemingly rife with gossip, Gu An'an, who hadn't left the house in ages, perked up. "What do you want? To get back together?"

Liu Li's expression changed. "On the contrary, Xiao Liu has been busy lately, and I've been the one coming over. I don't know where he found out about this, but he came up to me and made sarcastic remarks, saying that I'm too fierce and definitely can't win people over."

"You didn't beat him up?"

"How could that be? If I didn't make a move, who else would it be?"

Liu Xiaoqing said smugly, "He's no match for me at all. I scratched his face until it was covered in welts. He still has the nerve to come to me with the things he did. I insulted him so badly that he didn't even have his underwear left."

"You wouldn't believe it, he's getting married to the girl we met before, but her parents didn't approve of him at all. He had to beg and plead with them to marry her. But it's not like he'll marry her; he'll become her live-in son-in-law."

These days, there aren't many good men willing to be live-in sons-in-law. Either they're too poor to find a partner, or they're unwilling to work hard, especially since he's the only son in his family, he'll be drowned in the spittle of the neighbors.

Speaking of this, Liu Xiaoqing wanted to curl her lip. "When she was dating me, she acted all high and mighty, especially her mother. She implied that I had to be devoted to my husband after we got married. I spit on that. Now that her son is being raised by someone else, let's see how she can still be so smug."

Speaking of that family's oddities, Liu Xiaoqing couldn't help but want to complain.

"You should be glad you know he'll never have a good time."

Liu Xiaoqing suppressed her anger. "Yes, they're the ones who's upset right now, not me. Let them continue to rot in the mire."

While lying on the kang playing with his hands, Xiao Erbao heard Liu Xiaoqing say that she had scratched someone's face until it was covered in bruises. He immediately turned his little eyes to his older sister who was thinking about something.

Oh my god! Sister, you absolutely mustn't listen to such lewd words, or what if she starts scratching my handsome little face?

However, his worries did not last long, because several more people came to the house one after another, all of them to help prepare dinner in advance. Everyone who came in praised the two of them, and the two little ones were so happy that their mouths never stopped grinning.

"Oh my, whose little one is so cute?"

"Ah ah!" It's from my parents' house.

"These two kids are really blessed; they've inherited all the best traits from their parents."

The two little ones looked proud; that's for sure.

"I really want to sneak it home to play with, Da Bao and Er Bao, tell your sister what color burlap sack you two like?"

Xiao Dabao and Xiao Erbao exchanged a glance and simultaneously turned their backsides toward Zhao Man, the daughter of Commander Zhao. "If you want to play around, let your parents have their own. What kind of nonsense is this, playing around with someone else's child?"

When dinner was almost ready, everyone had arrived. Originally, they had planned to set up two tables, but Xiao's mother felt that such a big celebration should not leave the guests standing to eat, so she simply set up three tables. Moreover, the portions of each dish were very generous, which made everyone feel that the host was very sincere, and naturally received unanimous praise from everyone.

"Old Xiao, I really envy you."

After a few rounds of drinks, the disappointed man drank a bit too much. The battalion commander held his glass for a long time, especially when he saw others enjoying themselves, which made him feel even more lonely.

"I know you're envious, but can you go home and be envious?"

Seeing that his daughter and son were tired from playing, Xiao Yuheng just wanted to finish quickly so he could comfort the children.

Battalion Commander: ... Waaah, this person is so heartless!

In the end, he was sent back by someone arranged by Commander Zhao and Political Commissar Fang.

"Don't be angry with him. It's not easy for him to have such a troublesome mother."

If it weren't for that mother, the child would probably be several years old by now.

Previously, Xiao Yuheng and he were the two most troublesome figures for Commander Zhao and Political Commissar Fang. Now, Xiao Yuheng has resolved his own problems and is doing quite well, but that other one...
