Jiang Jun is ambitious, Jiang Kuan is young, and Jiang Wan is simple-minded.
Only Jiang Ning frowned immediately, looking towards the door again and again with worry and fear.
"It's okay." Ji Wanqing patted her back soothingly.
Jiang Ning's tense mood eased a little, but he remained silent, no longer feeling the relaxed mood he had just had while enjoying his meal.
"More than two months." Qin Ying walked in, looking happy but also worried.
It was precisely because Gan Xiaoqin couldn't get pregnant that she felt at ease leaving the children in Beijing, without asking her to take care of their affairs.
She thought that since she couldn't give birth anyway, how could she raise the child as her own?
But now...
It was really unexpected!
"Congratulations, sister-in-law."
Gan Xiaoqin came in from outside, and Ji Wanqing congratulated her politely and courteously.
It turns out that the reason why I am so energetic today is because of this.
Gan Xiaoqin was delighted but also a little shy. She dropped the egg on her belly and said, "I was planning to tell everyone the good news after dinner, but I didn't know this little guy couldn't keep secrets."
Several children were silent. Even Jiang Song and Jiang Xuan from the second child's family could sense the depression of their friends and dared not speak.
"Good news! Of course it's a good thing to have a new baby in the family!" Jiang Qingzhong didn't prepare red paper, he just took out five big reunion notes from his pocket, "Here, take them, go buy some good things to replenish your body. Your mother and I are not in Beijing at the moment, you can ask Jiang Yang to take care of you more."
Gan Xiaoqin was delighted when she saw the money, but she was completely disappointed when she heard her father-in-law's words, "Mom, won't you stay at home and take care of me?"
Jiang Qingzhong said bluntly, "Your mother is getting older, and her health is getting worse every year. The third sister gave birth to a child last year, and she was worried that your mother's health would not be able to bear it, so she didn't let her take care of the baby. I thought Jiang Yang had given birth to four children after all, so he must be more experienced than Jiang Che in taking care of pregnant women and newborns. You are so old, don't bother your mother."
Gan Xiaoqin was not happy.
Why is it that the girl who gave birth to four children had her mother-in-law help her take care of the children, but she doesn't have such treatment since she is still pregnant for the first time?
But Jiang Yang has already agreed, "No problem, Mom and Dad, you've worked hard for us all your life, you should enjoy your life."
Gan Xiaoqin had to force a smile and said, "Jiang Yang is right."
Things were settled, and the ease and joy that it had at the beginning were no longer on the table.
Song Qingping couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Sister-in-law, I don't mean anything else, I just said before that you...how come you can have children again now?"
Speaking of this, Gan Xiaoqin's expression became better. "I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said that most couples who can't have children are most likely to be the boy's fault."
Song Qingping was surprised, "Didn't you just say that your ex-husband gave birth to a child?"
"Yes!" Gan Xiaoqin's face was full of pride and smile, "We had just divorced, and he married a woman who was five months pregnant. I was so angry at the time! Later, I ran into him on the street holding his child and showing off to me. I didn't think he looked like him, so I didn't dare to confirm it."
She laughed timidly, "Now I know that the child is definitely not his!"
Ji Wanqing was eating while listening to gossip. She never thought that with such a classic plot, there would always be someone to take over the role at any age!
"It's a pity that I haven't met him recently, otherwise I would have ridiculed him!" Gan Xiaoqin had resentment in her heart.
It was clearly his own infertility, but in the end, she had to endure all the bitter medicines, folk remedies, and the pressure of gossip at home and abroad for ten years alone!
Although because of the children, Ji Wanqing doesn't necessarily like his sister-in-law Gan Xiaoqin very much.
But Gan Xiaoqin hated her ex-husband who looked strong on the outside but was actually weak on the inside even more.
"Sister-in-law, don't you think it would be more satisfying to let your ex-husband raise the son before telling him the truth?"
Otherwise, it would be pitiful for a child to be abandoned by his father at such a young age.
Gan Xiaoqin was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Oh, this studying brain is really useful! Isn't he a treasure, that child, a treasure? Hahaha, when he grows up and knows about this, I wonder how proud he will be!"
Song Qingping said, "That's good! The more effort you put into it, the more painful it will be to know the truth later. But it's too detrimental, haha."
Only Jiang Yang and Jiang Tao felt cold.
Third brother's wife is so stupid... Third brother must be good to the family in the future and don't do anything to let down third brother's wife.
This year Jiang Che is not here, and with two more children it is inconvenient to go out and visit relatives and friends.
Ji Wanqing only went to Grandpa Jiang's house for one reunion dinner, and the rest of the time she stayed at home, looking after the children with Chen Fangfang.
Mrs. Jiang took a week off to go back home for the New Year. Chen Fangfang's home was in Ontario, but because the front line was tense, her family did not let her go back, so she spent the New Year in Beijing.
As expected.
Shortly after the Lantern Festival, a newspaper article titled "This is intolerable, what is unacceptable" shocked the nation.
The self-defense counterattack against Vietnam began.
Jiang Che was originally an officer of the Ontario Military District. He had had dealings with the Vietnamese army before and was familiar with the enemy's situation.
Later, he went to a military academy for further study and systematized and scaled up his previous combat experience.
For all the above reasons, the army specially assigned the independent regiment led by him to penetrate the belly of the front line like a steel bar, aiming its blade at the enemy and charging as the vanguard.
At the same time, in the sea area, a mixed formation consisting of destroyers, frigates, missile boats and other fleets;
As well as the cruisers, fighter jets and other air force formations circling in the bordering airspace, they are all cooperating with the ground forces to carry out counterattacks and actively exert pressure on the Vietnamese side.
In this battle, the PLA quickly captured the military fortress of Yanshan City in Vietnam, and then withdrew from the battlefield by alternating cover, clearing and retreating.
In just one month, the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam was announced to be over.
The good news spread throughout the country, but everyone had become accustomed to victory. As far as war was concerned, the Americans could defeat us, let alone a small player like Vietnam.
Ji Wanqing finally got in touch with Jiang Che again after three months.
"How are you? Are you hurt?" She asked anxiously as soon as the call was connected.
"It's just a minor injury, it's been bandaged."
Jiang Che's voice sounded a little weak, as if he had just woken up from a hospital bed and insisted on calling home to report that he was safe.
"Where are you hurt?"
"Mainly on the back, but also on the legs."
Ji Wanqing clutched the phone tightly. "Are your internal organs injured? How much leave will the army approve for you?"
The army grants different types of leave for minor injuries and serious injuries.
Jiang Che was unwilling to say it, but Ji Wanqing insisted on finding out in a roundabout way.
There was silence on the other end of the line.
Ji Wanqing said in a cold voice, "Speak."
"… The army, please give me a six-month retirement. After six months, depending on my recovery, I will decide whether to transfer to civilian work or stay in the army."
After being frightened for so long, the original plot still happened.
