"Yue~" Ji Xiaorou covered her stomach and raised her head with tears in her eyes after vomiting, "Brother Chong, I feel so uncomfortable."
Aunt Yan said sarcastically, "Hey, when we were pregnant, we had to work in the fields. We were not as delicate as you. You cried and complained about stomachache when you were washing clothes. I don't know if you were pretending."
Ji Xiaorou shrank back a little and looked at Yan Chong, "I heard, I heard that Xiaohu's mother died because she was too tired during her pregnancy and didn't take good care of herself after the confinement period..."
"Nonsense! She has a bad fate and cannot enjoy happiness, can she really blame us, the Yan family, for mistreating her?" Aunt Yan roared, but no one knew how guilty she was underneath her stern appearance.
Ji Xiaorou didn't care and just held the man's hand tightly, "Brother Chong, I feel really bad. If you don't believe me, let's go to the military hospital and see if I'm faking it or not!"
"It's free to go to the hospital! Why did our Yan family marry a spendthrift like you?"
"Mom!" Yan Chong's voice was a little stern, and his eyes looked at her with a bit of pressure, "Please help Xiaorou with more housework. She is young and this is her first time pregnant. Can you help take care of her? She is pregnant with your grandson!"
Ji Xiaorou said, "That's right, no one knows his mother and ex-wife better than him."
If Ji Xiaorou died from overwork at the hands of her mother-in-law before and after giving birth, their family would probably be on the No. 2 Lane news again, and even his reputation as a wife-killer would become more and more widespread.
Now that she had a son, Aunt Yan didn't dare say anything else. She just glared at her daughter-in-law hatefully. She hadn't given birth yet, so who knew whether it would be a grandson or a granddaughter, and whether she would be worthy of serving him.
She didn't dare to yell at her son, she could only hug Xiaohu and cry, "My poor grandson, you are the only one who is filial to me, you have to fight for your dignity!"
Recently, Ji Xiaorou didn't dare to ask Ji Wanqing to learn cooking, so she had to find ways to pay Yan Xiaohu to shut up.
Yan Xiaohu is a person who believes whoever gives him milk is his mother. He thinks his generous and humble stepmother treats him better than his parents, not to mention that his stepmother has promised that all the money he gets from his younger brother will be given to him.
"Grandma, I am your grandson. If you want to be filial, go find your son to be filial to you."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Yan got angry and fired at Ji Xiaorou, "You bastard, are you secretly teaching our Xiaohu about sex behind my back?"
Ji Xiaorou cried and looked aggrieved, "I didn't! How dare I! Mom, why do you slander me whenever you get the chance! I can't live like this anymore!"
No sooner had the dispute died down than it broke out again.
Yan Chong was annoyed by the noise, so he ignored his mother and wife and went straight back to his room.
Recently, the 113th Regiment has been catching enemy spies and completing secret missions, and has won the favor of Division Commander Wen. The 113th Regiment is about to pass the 113th year, but who would have thought that the 113th Regiment's 113th year reward subsidy is actually twice as high as before!
Their old leader was so anxious that his mouth was covered with blisters. The 112th Regiment used to eat meat, but now they can only drink soup behind the 111th and 113th Regiments. Who can tolerate this?
It just so happens that the border country is constantly creating friction while crossing the border, and the other two main regiments each have their own missions and are unable to take action. This time, their 112th Regiment must strive for a combat mission!

The vegetables in the yard finally grew well, the juicy white radishes and the lush green cabbages. Perhaps because they were occasionally irrigated with spiritual spring water, Jiang Che and Aunt Zhuge said they tasted better than bought noodles.
There was a small vegetable patch in Ji Wanqing's space, so she watered it when she went in. Unexpectedly, the vegetables grew better than if she had weeded and fertilized them outside.
Because it was in season, Ji Wanqing only took out vegetables that matured in winter to taste. The white radish was so juicy that it seemed like eating fairy fruit. It was fresh and tender when stewed in the bone soup. When he touched it with his tongue, the sweet juice filled his mouth.
She keeps the rest of the vegetables separately in a fresh-keeping space, and when the season comes for them to mature, she will take them out one by one for tasting.
Military factories began to close one after another.
Other departments went on vacation two days in advance, but comrades in the Research Department were still working diligently on the front line.
However, Ji Wanqing's project team exceeded the target, so before the official holiday, she took her train ticket and asked the factory to approve her leave.
Jiang Che made a special report to the organization, and this time he took leave for marriage, marriage, and family visit at the same time, so he could take leave from the 25th of December to the 10th of the first lunar month.
Ji Wanqing asked for leave on the tenth day of the first lunar month.
Although the new project was launched early, she was not worried at all that she would not be able to keep up with the progress in the next few days.
"Xiao Ji, are you leaving tomorrow?" Aunt Cui'e came over and knocked on the door.
Ji Wanqing came over to open the door. "Yes, what do you want to talk to me about?"
It was common for neighbors to bring gifts to each other. Aunt Cui'e handed over twenty yuan in banknotes and industrial bills, "My daughter is getting married tomorrow, and I want you to buy her a nice coat in Beijing. I want it to be imported woolen."
Ji Wanqing often went to the Friendship Store and said tactfully, "Auntie, twenty yuan may not be enough."
"What? Twenty isn't enough!?"
Twenty yuan is enough for her to make more than ten sets of clothes. Isn't it enough to buy one?
"Well, the price of summer clothes in the Friendship Store is about twenty to forty, and I estimate that winter clothes will be fifty or more." This is the price in Yunhe City. The prices in the Beijing Trade Store will only be more expensive.
"Good boy!" Aunt Cui'e smacked her lips and immediately put the twenty yuan into her purse, rejecting the lady's request with her action.
How can you wear a red shirt to get married and get divorced later?
The two were talking at the door. Ji Xiaorou from next door came out of the door carefully, holding her waist, pretending to be pregnant for fear that no one would notice that she was pregnant.
When Aunt Cui'e saw this, she said hurriedly, "Xiaorou, you are pregnant!"
Ji Xiaorou saw Ji Wanqing standing there, a hint of superiority flashed in her eyes, and she said shyly, "Well, it's only been a little over a month, and the results were just found out."
"Hey, you have to be careful. The next few months are the most dangerous. Don't be like the guy in Lao Yan's house. He foolishly took on all the work himself and ended up working himself to death."
Aunt Cui'e had meant well to remind her, but before she could finish her words, Aunt Yan came out from next door and said, "You old nosy woman, you are so talkative! Why do you have to keep your mouth open and complain about our family affairs? Who told you that Lifen is exhausted! She is just unlucky and cannot enjoy the blessing of my son. She has a bad fate!"
Ji Wanqing sneered and leaned against the door frame. This guy blames everything on his bad luck. He really knows how to pass the blame on others.
Aunt Cui'e was not at all flustered when she was heard talking about someone behind their back. She immediately scolded, "You dirty-hearted old witch, Lifen is such a good person! Who in our military district doesn't praise her as a virtuous wife and loving mother!? At that time, we lived in the bungalow area, unlike now when there is a well in the yard. Who didn't see her fetching water early in the morning when she was pregnant? Who didn't see her coming out to wash clothes within a week of confinement? Every family has friction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but who treats their daughter-in-law as an enemy like you do?"
