Chapter 105 Raising a cub
Ma Siqing had a good rest during her confinement. Chen Xiaowei came to help when he had time, Zhong Guofan also came to help when he had time, and Aunt Feng stayed at Ma Siqing's house to help her all day long.
In this way, Ma Siqing's body recovered to 90% after confinement.
She can take care of her children by herself.
However, Tong Shiyu was at work during the day, and she would still be in a hurry on her own, so she asked Aunt Feng to help during the day.
With three children, only Tong Shiyu has any income, so he can't pay Aunt Feng too much.
After receiving money from Cheng Yuqing every month, Ma Siqing increased Aunt Feng's salary to 20 yuan.
Ma Siqing gave the three children nicknames: Dashuang, Xiaoshuang, and Guoguo.
Tong Shiyu said he wanted Cheng Yuqing to give them their full names.
The triplets were very obedient, especially Tong Shiyu, who called them Dashuang, Xiaoshuang, and Guoguo as soon as he came back . The three kids seemed to understand, kicking their legs and babbling, waiting for Tong Shiyu to hug them.
When Aunt Feng came home at night, the couple took care of the kids.
Ma Siqing only had enough milk to feed two kids, so they usually took turns. Come.
Make sure every baby gets breast milk every day, and those who don't get it drink formula.
Fortunately, the three babies are used to the rhythm of switching between breast milk and formula.
When the baby was three months old, Mao Xiaowang got married.
Ma Siqing I gave a contribution of just the right amount.
This year is Ma Siqing's second year in the army. With three more babies, life has become much more lively.
Now the three babies can lift their heads and look for their mother's voice. Their babbling is very cute
. It was very cold, but fortunately the three kids were in good health, and Ma Siqing rarely took them out. The kang in the house was always warm, and the stove was always on.
On New Year's Eve, Chen Xiaowei and Zhong Guofan were still as usual. Ma Siqing's family had a New Year's Eve dinner.
Ma Siqing also called Cheng Fuqing and Hu Zi to come over, and the whole family was lively and noisy.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, Cheng Fuqing took Hu Zi home, and Chen Xiaowei and Zhong Guofan also returned to their own House.
After Tong Shiyu and Ma Siqing coaxed the dolls to sleep, they spent the New Year together.
Ma Siqing was busy sewing spring clothes for the dolls. She took out those clothes and put them in the cupboard
during the day when Aunt Feng wasn't paying attention.
The supermarket seemed to understand that it was inconvenient for her to hide from the crowd and use the supermarket space, so the children's clothes provided to Ma Siqing were all unique to the 1970s.
Ma Siqing didn't need to make many changes.
Ma Siqing often received packages, and Tong Shiyu just thought they were Cheng Yuqing and Cheng Sihua sent things to the three children.
He never suspected that Ma Siqing's things were not legitimate, and never asked how the family's money was spent.
Anyway, all the wages were handed over.
Occasionally, Ma Siqing also bought new clothes for Tong Shiyu, but Ma Siqing herself has relatively few new clothes.
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Hu Zi came the earliest to wish Ma Siqing a happy new year.
Ma Siqing gave Hu Zi a red envelope of ten yuan to thank him for taking care of the children. Cheng Fuqing
also gave red envelopes to the three children.
He had a salary at the forest farm, which was more than enough to support him and Huzi. He basically didn't buy anything, so he gave each of the three children ten yuan.
After Cheng Fuqing left, Ma Siqing opened the red envelope and found that Cheng Fuqing gave too much. It was too much.
She wanted to return it, but Tong Shiyu said that she could just make two sets of clothes for Hu Zi in the future. If she returned it now, her uncle would be sad.
Ma Siqing thought that was right.
Chen Xiaowei and Zhong Guofan also came to give the three children New Year's money.
Ma Siqing kept them Had breakfast.
The troops were very busy during the New Year.
As usual, Tong Shiyu had to go on another mission. This time, Hong Haitao asked to patrol together ,
and Commander Ma agreed.
Chen Xiaowei and Zhong Guofan also joined.
Mao Xiaowang was exempted from this patrol because he was newly married.
When Mao Xiaowang was one month pregnant, Aunt Feng said embarrassedly that she might not have that much time to come and help because her daughter-in-law was pregnant.
Ma Siqing expressed her understanding, after all, Mao Xiaowang finally got married, and Aunt Feng had to help him more
. The baby is five months old, and Ma Siqing is taking care of it alone. Tong Shiyu's mission this time took a particularly long time.
Huzi comes home every day, and even stays at Ma Siqing's house on weekends.
After Aunt Feng stopped coming to help, Ma Siqing The supermarket can make good use of space.
Hu Zi would have fresh and delicious candies to eat from time to time.
When the kids were asleep, Ma Siqing would ask Hu Zi to read books with her.
Ma Siqing could teach Hu Zi anything he didn't understand.
This made Hu Zi like this cousin even more.
Since Tong Shiyu was away on a mission, Commander Ma would often visit Ma Siqing's home to see if she needed help.
Huang Ying didn't dare to gossip about it this time, because the whole army knew that Ma Siqing was Commander Ma's niece.
But Ma Siqing didn't In the past, Zhang Xiangling was so domineering. She just quietly raised a few children and made them plump and lovable.
When the baby was almost half a year old, Tong Shiyu finally finished his mission and returned to the army. This time, There was some harassment at the border, so the process was delayed.
Zhong Guofan and Hong Haitao were slightly injured.
The military health workers simply treated their wounds and sent them directly to the Wulin Banner People's Hospital after they returned to the army.
Fortunately, there were no major problems and they just needed to rest well.
Commander Ma gave them a vacation
. Afterwards, Hong Haitao applied for a transfer back to the local area.
Huang Ying cried and made a scene, saying that she had worked hard even though she had no merit in this mission, and she was about to be promoted, so why did she have to go back to the local area?
Hong Haitao then told the truth. He was eager for quick success and wanted to get the special merit. After Captain Tong discovered the enemy's traces, he went after them regardless of everyone's obstruction.
Zhong Guofan was injured in order to save him.
Captain Tong and his men returned to the army and said that the two of them were injured accidentally. If they reported the truth, Hong Haitao could only be demobilized as an ordinary soldier.
Now he has voluntarily transferred to civilian work and is expected to get a good job in the local area. After all, he has been a soldier for a long time.
Tong Shiyu and his men did not hold him accountable this time, which was a great favor.
If Huang Ying continued to make trouble, she might lose everything.
Commander Ma would never cover up for such a mistake of principle.
Huang Ying then stopped making trouble.
Afterwards, the couple went to Tong Shiyu's home to express their gratitude.
This was Huang Ying's first visit to Ma Siqing's home. Seeing that everything in the house was neatly arranged, it was the best-decorated house among all the military families' homes she had visited.
Ma Siqing also spoke to her for the first time. Judging from her accent, Ma Siqing did not sound like a Danjiang native.
Huang Ying looked carefully at Ma Siqing's face. She was very beautiful. Although she did not dress up, she could be recognized at a glance in the crowd.
The children were babbling on the kang, as if they were trying to learn to speak. The three children were white and chubby, and looked very cute.
Huang Ying praised Ma Siqing for her cleverness and ability, and for raising the children well.
Ma Siqing said thank you.
Before leaving, Huang Ying apologized to Ma Siqing for her previous nonsense.
Ma Siqing didn't care, saying that it was all in the past and she didn't remember it.
In April, the military compound lost a family. Hong Haitao took Huang Ying and several children back to his hometown.
Ma Siqing didn't pay attention to what job Hong Haitao got in the end. The most important thing was to live a good life.
