Song Yunyi glanced at her and asked, "Is it me who doesn't want to?"
Who wouldn’t want a cute and smart baby like Xingbao?
She and Qi Mo Nan didn't take any precautions, but they just couldn't get pregnant. What could she do?
Xu Shuhua moved closer to Song Yun and asked softly, "How is it? Is he treating you well?"
As soon as Song Yun saw Xu Shuhua's mysterious expression, she knew she wasn't talking about anything serious. Thinking of the passionate lovemaking she had with Qi Mo Nan last night, her cheeks flushed involuntarily. "In front of Xingbao, do you act like a mother?"
When Xu Shuhua saw the blush on Song Yun's face and the sparkling look in her eyes, she knew that this girl had eaten well. She felt relieved and stopped asking questions. She smiled and left with Xingbao.
I had just finished drying the herbs and was about to clean up the two rabbits and three pheasants left in the kitchen when Qi Mo Nan came back with Gu Lao.
Qi Monan saw the pheasants and rabbits and immediately rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward. "I'll take care of this. You make some tea for Gu Lao."
The old man waved his hand, "What tea are you making? Am I an outsider? I'll help you clean up." He rolled up his sleeves and offered to help, "Xiao Yun, take a rest. When you're done, we'll go to Old Xu's house together."
Song Yun was happy to have some free time, but she couldn't stay idle. She went to the backyard to water the plants and finish the work that she hadn't finished yesterday.
As it grew dark, the three of them left the yard and headed towards the small Western-style building where Deputy Commander Xu lived.
Aunt Qian, who lived next door, was standing in the yard holding her grandson. Seeing how they were doing, she curled her lips and turned to her husband and said, "Look at him! Deputy Commander Xu has just arrived and he's already fawning over him. Can you be more careful? We're both brigade commanders. Will you get a promotion next time?"
Brigadier General Zhu was wiping his sweat with a towel. Upon hearing this, he turned his head and followed his wife's gaze. Then he said, "This Deputy Commander Xu is from Sichuan Province. Xiao Song and Brigadier General Qi were both promoted from Sichuan Province before. They have known each other for a long time."
Aunt Qian still curled her lips. "The more this happens, the more you need to work harder. Tomorrow, bring some things and go to Deputy Commander Xu's house to sit down and make yourself familiar with him."
Brigade Commander Zhu threw the towel into the basin without even looking at Aunt Qian or responding. He then asked, "Is the meal ready?"
"Eat, eat, eat. Every day when I come back, I only know how to eat." Aunt Qian muttered in a low voice, but she only dared to mutter in a low voice.
During the meal, the little grandson took one bite and started to complain, "Meat, eggs, meat, eggs."
Aunt Qian took advantage of the situation and hit her grandson's arm lightly. "You only know how to eat meat and eggs. Don't meat and eggs cost money? Your parents don't give you a penny, and yet you still want to eat good food. Can your dad's salary even support you?"
The little grandson started to cry loudly. He had no idea what his grandmother said or what she meant. He only knew that he didn't get to eat meat and eggs, and was beaten and scolded by his grandmother.
Brigade Commander Zhu glared at Aunt Qian angrily, "If the child wants to eat meat and eggs, just cook them for him. Can't our family afford it? How much money do I give you a month? Look at what we eat? How is it different from the pig food in the countryside? Why are you saving your money?" If he wasn't really hungry, he would have thrown down his chopsticks.
Aunt Qian felt a little guilty when the subject of money came up, but she didn't want her husband to see it, so she stiffened her neck and said, "How dare you say that? Other families give all their wages to their wives, leaving only a little for pocket money. What about you? You only give me 10 yuan a month and save the rest. What do you think of me?"
Brigade Commander Zhu snorted coldly, "Why did I only give you ten? Don't you know? And, is ten too little? How much can we spend on a meal with Xiaobao and me? We don't even eat meat twice a month. How much of your ten yuan went to the family? Don't you know? Or do you think I'm a fool?"
He didn't say it before because he wanted to save her some face. But she took the initiative to lose face, so he wouldn't tolerate it.
Hearing her husband's harsh words and the mention of household expenses and meals, Aunt Qian felt even more guilty and secretly cursed herself for being so mean and bringing up this matter for no reason.
