The God of War Duke from a matriarchal country was reborn in the 1950s. Before she even opened her eyes, she heard that her fiancé had been snatched away!
This was absolutely intolerable. Wit...
Xiaoman was helpless in this situation. She couldn't very well have another child, could she?
Han Bin was also furious. But it was already like this: "Let's not talk about this for now. Xiaoman, are you tired? If you are, take a rest."
Xiaoman: "Mmm."
Old Guo: "Xiaoman, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you when we get back."
Tang Huihui: "I'll go with you. The food I eat during my postpartum period is different from what I usually eat."
Lao Guo: "Okay, let's go then."
These past few days, Xiao Hei has been staying home and guarding the house. When Lao Guo and Tang Huihui were about to go back, Xiao Man told them to tell Xiao Hei that she had given birth to two sons.
After they left, Xiaoman looked at Lao Shang and asked, "Do you know who's the boss among them?"
Old Shang shook his head.
There was nothing Xiaoman could do.
Han Bin touched the children's faces: "The most important thing is that the children are healthy."
Xiaoman: "I'm going to rest for a while."
Han Bin: "Yes. With Uncle Shang and me here, you can rest assured."
Xiaoman: "Mmm."
Qiao Juanjuan was cooking when Qiao Yu ran in, covering her face: "Auntie, the hospital wants to fire me."
Qiao Juanjuan was stunned for a moment: "Fire you?"
"Um."
"Why? What happened to your face?"
Qiao Yu explained what had happened: "Auntie, I didn't mean to. I didn't expect her to give birth so quickly. It's not that I didn't want to bathe the baby, I was just afraid of hurting her. Xiong Lanlan is experienced, so I asked her to help me bathe her. Auntie, I really didn't mean to."
Qiao Juanjuan was a little angry: "They're all her sons, so who can't be the eldest?"
"That's what I think too."
"What about Xiong Lanlan? Is she expelled too?"
"He will be kept under observation in the hospital. If he makes another mistake, he will be expelled."
Qiao Juanjuan immediately became furious: "Why are you firing her just because she's only kept in the hospital for observation?"
“Wang Xiaoman said I don’t deserve to stay in the hospital.”
"Who does she think she is? Why should the hospital fire you just because she says you don't deserve to be there? Come on, let me take you to reason with her. They've already hit you, they've already scolded you, and now they want to fire you? That's outrageous!"
"good."
Just as the aunt and niece were about to leave, Commander Huo returned with a dark face: "Where are you two going?"
Qiao Juanjuan was still angry and didn't notice that Commander Huo's expression was off: "Old Huo, let me tell you..."
Qiao Yu noticed that Commander Huo's expression was off, so she tugged at Qiao Juanjuan, but Qiao Juanjuan ignored her.
After Qiao Juanjuan finished speaking, Commander Huo looked at Qiao Yu and asked, "Do you feel wronged?"
Qiao Yu bit her lip: "Uncle, I didn't mean to."
Qiao Juanjuan: "Exactly. Besides, why should only Yuyu be expelled when two people made mistakes?"
Commander Huo looked at Qiao Juanjuan and Qiao Yu: "On what grounds? On the grounds that they didn't lie. Mixing up the two children wasn't intentional, so why just randomly pick one child to be the eldest?"
Qiao Juanjuan wanted to say that the two children were only a few minutes apart, so it didn't matter who was the older one. She had just opened her mouth when Commander Huo glared at her: "Shut up. Medical workers, conduct is very important."
Commander Huo looked at Qiao Yu: "The whole military region knows about this."
Qiao Juanjuan: "How about we have Yuyu apologize to Wang Xiaoman?"
Commander Huo: "This isn't about apologizing or not."
Qiao Yu cried, "Uncle, I was wrong. Uncle, I don't want to be expelled."
Commander Huo looked at Qiao Yu and said, "This time, I'm transferring you to a local post. If you make another mistake in the future, I won't be responsible for you anymore."
Qiao Yu didn't want to go to the countryside; the conditions there weren't as good. Qiao Yu glanced at Qiao Juanjuan.
Qiao Juanjuan: "Can you stay? Observation in the hospital is fine too."
Commander Huo glanced at Qiao Juanjuan: "It's better for her to go back to her hometown." Here, everyone knows that she mixed up other people's children and is trying to deceive them.
Qiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, I'm going back to where I am."
Commander Huo stared at Qiao Yu and said, "Go back and work hard. If you make another mistake, you'll have to take the blame yourself. Got it?"
"I've got it."
Soon, Qiao Yu was transferred.
Xiaoman was discharged from the hospital and went home. Xiaoman was reading to the child when Ma Xiumei and Wang Erni arrived carrying eggs. A little tail followed behind Wang Erni.
As soon as Erwa came in, he ran to Xiaoman's side and said, "Aunt Xiaoman, I've come to see my little brother."
Xiaoman pointed towards the bed.
Erwa crawled over and looked: "It's so small."
Wang Erni: "You were this small when you were born."
Erwa turned around and looked at Wang Erni: "Really?"
Wang Erni nodded.
"Okay." Erwa looked back again: "Aunt Xiaoman, why do they all look the same?"
Xiaoman patted Erwa's head: "Because they are twins."
Erwa didn't quite understand. But he asked, "When can I play with them?"
"It will be ready in a few days."
Erwa was a little disappointed: "It'll be a few more days?"
"Um."
"Then I'm going to find Grandpa Guo."
"Go."
After Erwa left, Ma Xiumei and Wang Erni checked on the child first.
Wang Erni: "Xiaoman, your two sons are really sturdy."
Ma Xiumei: "Is there enough milk?"
Xiaoman: "Not enough. These two little guys might eat it all."
Wang Erni: "Then what should we do? How about feeding him some millet porridge?"
Xiaoman: "I prepared some milk powder. If that's not enough, I'll feed them millet porridge."
Ma Xiumei looked at the child again: "Xiaoman, who do you plan to make the eldest?"
Xiaoman gets a headache when this is mentioned: "I don't know either."
Wang Erni: "I heard that Qiao Yu has been transferred."
Ma Xiumei: "She should have been transferred long ago. I heard that she bullies others because she is Commander Huo's niece."
Wang Erni: "Really?"
Ma Xiumei: "Hmm. If she hadn't let Xiong Lanlan help her bathe the child this time, the child wouldn't have gotten along. I also heard..."
Soon, the two started gossiping, with Xiaoman listening and occasionally chiming in with a half-sentence.
On the other side, Commander Huo brought back two bags of milk powder and two bottles of malted milk powder.
When Qiao Juanjuan saw it, she asked where it came from.
Commander Huo said as he took off his hat, "I bought it."
Why did you buy this? It's so expensive!
Commander Huo glanced at Qiao Juanjuan: "What are you doing? Go apologize to Wang Xiaoman."
Qiao Juanjuan was displeased upon hearing this: "Yuyu has been transferred away."
Commander Huo sat down and took a sip of water: "One of Wang Xiaoman's two children is the eldest son of the legitimate wife. That's only now; in the past, family titles and such belonged to the eldest son. Even now, most elderly people live with their eldest son. Your niece has made it difficult for her to distinguish which son is the eldest and which is the second son. Shouldn't you apologize to her?"
“This…” Qiao Juanjuan looked at the things on the table: “Then you don’t need to take so much stuff. Just take two bags of milk powder.”
Commander Huo glanced at Qiao Juanjuan: "We should be generous when we need to be. We're apologizing not only for Qiao Yu, but also for ourselves."
Qiao Juanjuan was a little surprised: "You're going too?"
"Um."
"You are the division commander."
Commander Huo glared at Qiao Juanjuan: "What's wrong with you, Commander? You should apologize when you need to. If you hadn't kept saying that, Qiao Yu wouldn't have thought she was superior to others, and she wouldn't have caused trouble."
Qiao Juanjuan shrank back: "You just said it wasn't just for Yuyu, but also for us. And we have nothing to do with this?"
"How can it not be related? Qiao Yu is your niece. When people talk about this, they won't say anything about Qiao Yu, they'll say something about Commander Huo's niece. Let me tell you, as long as Wang Xiaoman's two children don't distinguish between the older and younger ones, people will always remember this and will always talk about Commander Huo's niece."
"Then...then let's quickly have them decide the age of the two children."
"Do you still think I bought too much?"
“Not much. However, I think you should talk to Commander Han about this. First, you are his superior. Second, he is a man, and no matter how capable Wang Xiaoman is, she can't run a man's household.”
