Xiaoman frowned: "What is her wish?"

"She said she had always hoped to marry Liu Cheng and have several children with him. She never expected that Liu Cheng would marry someone else, and she was so angry that she died. Now that the person who betrayed her and the person who stole her man are both living such miserable lives, the resentment in her heart has dissipated."

Old Shang stopped and looked at Xiaoman: "She said that although the Naonao children were not her children, they all came from her body and can be considered her children. Before she left, she wanted the Naonao children to call her 'Mother'."

The children all had amulets made by Lao Shang. Xiao Man, Xiao Hei, and Han Bin had all fought on the battlefield. If it weren't for Xiao Man being afraid that the original owner would become an evil ghost and having Lao Shang put her into a Buddhist bead, she wouldn't have dared to approach Xiao Man's house at all.

Xiaoman narrowed her eyes: "They are my children, they can only call me mother. If you want to be a mother in your next life, don't let a man drive you to your death."

The original owner was very disappointed.

Xiaoman looked at Lao Shang's chest and continued, "You should go reincarnate. If you want to be a mother, live a good life next time."

Old Shang: "Yes. Live a good life in the next life."

Original owner: "Can't the children really call me 'Mother' even once? Just once?"

Old Shang knew Xiaoman would never agree, so he didn't ask on her behalf: "If you hadn't met Xiaoman, you would have become a wandering ghost long ago. Child, go and reincarnate. If you want to be a mother, be strong in your next life."

The original owner also knew that if she hadn't met Xiaoman, she might not even have a grave: "Alright. Uncle, please thank her for me."

"good."

Old Shang looked at Xiaoman and said, "She agreed. Also, she asked me to thank you for her."

Xiaoman looked at Lao Shang's chest and said, "Go and reincarnate in peace. I will take good care of your parents, your younger brother and sister. Remember, live a good life in your next life."

Original owner: "Thank you. I'll remember that."

After Lao Shang told Xiao Man what the original owner had said, Xiao Man asked Lao Shang if they needed to go to the cenotaph. Lao Shang said that this was the original owner's home, and they could stay here.

After seeing the original owner off, Old Shang went back to his room to rest.

Xiaoman went to her parents' room to pick up the children. Her older sister and younger brother were already asleep, so Xiaoman took Naonao, Tengteng, Zuozuo, and Youyou back to their own room.

The next morning, as soon as the older sister opened her eyes, she looked for Xiaoman. Xiaoman's father teased her, "Your mother doesn't want you anymore. Your mother gave you to your maternal grandfather."

The older sister yawned and stretched, saying, "Grandpa, I'm not a little kid anymore."

"Haha, if you're not a child, then who is?"

The older sister sat up from under the covers: "My little brother is a child." She nudged him: "Little brother, wake up, the sun's shining on your bottom."

The younger brother rubbed his eyes: "Sister, why are you awake?" He was usually the one who woke his sister up.

"My father isn't here, and neither is my mother. I can't sleep well."

"Oh. Where is Mother?"

The older sister looked outside and said, "I've taken my brothers out for exercise."

Xiaoman's father thought his sister had guessed and didn't pay much attention: "Come on, Grandpa will help you get dressed."

The older sister, clutching her clothes, didn't move: "Where's my grandma? I miss my grandma."

"Your grandma is making you something delicious. Come on, grandpa will help you get dressed."

The older sister blinked: "I have to ask my grandma to dress me."

Why?

"My dad said I can only be dressed by my mom, my grandma, or my maternal grandma. Grandpa, is dinner almost ready?"

"Your grandma just started making it."

After putting the clothes on the bed, the older sister crawled back under the covers. "Then I'll lie down for a while longer."

Xiaoman's dad always spoiled his child: "Okay, then lie down for a while longer."

The younger brother had already put on his clothes: "Sister, Mother will be back soon."

The older sister looked outside and said, "It's okay, I'll lie down for a while longer."

"If your mother sees you sleeping in late, she'll beat you."

My older sister rolled around in bed and said, "Mom can't see. Grandpa, your bed is so comfortable."

"If you feel comfortable, sleep a little longer."

"Okay. Grandpa, can you tell stories?"

"Won't."

"I can. Grandpa, let me tell you a story."

"good."

The older sister told Xiaoman's father a story.

Xiaoman's dad: "How come you're so smart?"

Younger brother: "Grandpa, my older sister is so smart."

Xiaoman's dad: "Come on, tell Grandpa another one."

"good."

As she was talking, the older sister forgot to look where Xiaoman had gone. When she remembered again, Xiaoman, Naonao, Tengteng, and the others were already at the gate.

My sister jumped out of bed in a flash. In the blink of an eye, she had her pants on.

Xiaoman's father opened his mouth wide in surprise.

The younger brother calmly pulled his older sister's blanket over to him.

When Xiaoman came in, her older sister was already dressed and standing on the ground: "Good morning, Mother."

The younger brother also helped his older sister fold the blanket: "Good morning, Mom."

Xiaoman's father's mouth was still open.

Xiaoman patted her older sister and younger brother on the head: "Good girl."

Xiaoman noticed her father's mouth was open and asked, "Dad, what's wrong?"

Sister: "Grandpa is playing with me. Grandpa, your mouth is bigger than mine."

Xiaoman's dad swallowed hard, then shut his mouth: "Xiaoman, your daughter is a great storyteller. Haha."

Xiaoman looked at her father and then at her daughter: "Have you washed your face?"

"No. Little brother, come on, let me help you wash your face."

Younger brother: "Okay."

Sister: "Grandpa, Mom, we're going to wash our faces."

Xiaoman's father: "Grandpa will take you there."

Sister: "Thank you, Grandpa. We can go by ourselves. Mom, we're off."

Xiaoman: "Mmm."

After her older sister led her younger brother away, Xiaoman sat down and chatted with her father for a while. A little while later, her mother came in and called them to go out for dinner.

After ordering the food, Xiaoman's father went to work.

After Nao Nao and Tengteng finished washing the dishes for Xiaoman's mother, they asked Xiaoman if she could go out to play.

Xiaoman: "Okay, take Xiaohei with you, don't leave the village, and take good care of your younger siblings."

Nao Nao and Tengteng: "Okay."

The older sister moved closer to Xiaoman's mother and said, "Grandma, I want to play with you."

Xiaoman's mother knew that Xiaoman wanted her older sister to move around more. But looking at Xiaoman, Xiaoman's mother said, "You'll be going to the new military region in a few days."

Xiaoman looked at her older sister and said, "Then you should stay home and keep Grandma company."

The older sister was delighted: "Okay."

Nao Nao: "Grandma, we'll go out for a walk and then come back to keep you company."

Xiaoman's mother: "Okay."

Everyone in Hongqi Village knows that Xiaoman gave birth to three sets of twins. People can tell they are Xiaoman's children as soon as they see Naonao.

When Liu Cheng was at the height of his power, his mother looked down on everyone. After seeing the group, some people deliberately went up to Liu Cheng's mother and said that Wang Xiaoman had given birth to five sons and that her husband was now a brigade commander. The implication was that Wang Xiaoman was not only good at bearing sons but also brought good fortune to her husband.

Upon hearing this, Liu Chengniang cursed Han Li in her heart again. Liu Chengniang felt that if it weren't for Han Li, she would have five grandsons now, and not only that, her son could still be an official. Now, Liu Chengniang wished she could hang Han Li up and beat her.

Northern Military Region. After Deputy Division Commander Qiao retired, Commander Lü wanted to select someone from the division where Deputy Division Commander Qiao had served as deputy division commander. Deputy Division Commander Qiao, upon learning this, recommended someone to Commander Lü. Commander Lü spoke with that comrade and thought he was suitable, but then the higher-ups said they would assign him someone else.

When Commander Lü found out, he was in a dilemma: "I've already spoken to Brigade Commander Jin, and now you want to send me another one. Aren't you putting me in a difficult position? How about this, Old Xie should retire in two years anyway. Let that comrade wait two more years, and then send him over after Old Xie retires."
