Seeing this, Qin Huaichuan put Xibao in He Youan's arms.
He Youan held the baby in his arms and weighed it, "Wow! The little guy is still quite heavy."
"Of course. When it's just born, it's not light. When it grows up a little and can eat, it becomes a little fat baby, right?" A Yan smiled and tapped Xi Bao's little nose.
Xibao seemed to understand why his uncle said he was fat. He snorted softly and turned his head away from Ayan. His little look was so adorable.
Ah Yan was amused by his reaction, "You little guy, you have quite a temper. You're not happy when I call you fat."
Xibao was even more excited, babbling and pointing at Ayan, as if accusing him.
He Youan found it very interesting and would agree with Xi Bao from time to time, pretending to hit A Yan to vent his anger. The little guy was so amused that he couldn't stop laughing.
Wen Yuexian watched this scene and jokingly said, "I didn't realize you two were so good at coaxing children."
Ah Yan heard this and uttered a sigh, "Mom, please don't underestimate me. I also coaxed our Jiubao when he was little."
Wen Yuexian smiled and gave him a look of understanding, "Oh~ Our Ah Yan is really capable. This way, when you get married and have children in the future, it will be much easier for you to help your wife take care of the children."
Ah Yan's cheeks instantly turned red, "Mom, I'm still young, what are you thinking about?"
"You're not a child anymore. You'll be an adult in four years." Li Yuying interrupted with a smile.
"Yes, Aunt Wen, I am indeed not as good as Ayan in this aspect." He Youan held Xibao in his arms and looked at Ayan with a gloating expression.
"Yes, Aunt Wen, I am indeed not as good as Ayan in this aspect." He Youan hugged Xibao and looked at Ayan with a gloating look on his face.
Seeing this, A Yan glared at him.
He Youan raised his eyebrows and continued to tease Xi Bao in his arms, then happily held the little guy and sat between Shen Yuandao and Su Mianmian.
Shen Yuandao was immediately displeased, "No, there are so many empty seats, why do you have to squeeze in here? You have no sense at all."
He Youan ignored his cousin and looked at Su Mianmian and asked, "Sister Mianmian, oh no, cousin, can I sit here?"
Su Mianmian glared at Shen Yuandao, then said to He Youan: “Sit down, don’t listen to your cousin’s nonsense.”
He Youan smiled triumphantly at Shen Yuandao.
Shen Yuandao closed his eyes. He now felt that this brat was an eyesore.
"When are you going to grandpa's house? I'll take you there later?" Shen Yuandao asked through gritted teeth.
He Youan was confused. When did he say he was going to his grandfather's house?
"Not today. I'll go there early tomorrow morning." He Youan said truthfully.
Ah Yan nodded aside, "Yes, Brother Youan will sleep with me tonight."
Shen Yuandao: ...Okay.
Shen Yuandao shrugged helplessly, said nothing more, and listened attentively to the conversation between the four old men and Wen Yuexian.
"How are Xiaojing and Xiaozhi's partners? Did you make fun of me today?" Grandma Shen looked at Wen Yuexian and asked.
Wen Yuexian smiled and nodded, "Yes, Aunt Chen, they are both good children, one is quiet and the other is lively, and they are both outstanding in appearance."
Grandma Shen nodded with satisfaction, “That’s good, Xiaoya can rest assured.”
Wen Yuexian nodded and told Grandma Shen what happened today.
…
On the other side, the He Province Military Region
At noon, Jiubao rarely followed Shen Yuanqing to watch the soldiers training. She was helping Chu Jianing wash vegetables in the kitchen.
The two chatted while busy cooking.
Jiubao had sharp eyes and she noticed that there was something wrong with Chu Jianing's face. It was much paler than usual and there was a hint of fatigue on its face.
Her heart tightened, and she asked with concern, "Aunt, what's wrong with you? You look so bad. Are you tired these days?"
Chu Jianing smiled and shook her head when she heard that. "It's okay. I might have been a little tired from being busy with the art troupe recently. I'll be fine after this period. Don't worry."
Jiubao nodded, "Okay, if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you must tell me."
Chu Jianing touched Jiubao's head and said, "Oh, people say that girls are like little cotton-padded jackets, right? Look at us..."
Before she could finish her words, her body shook violently, and then she fell limply to the ground, unconscious.
Jiubao's face changed drastically when he saw this, and his heart sank.
She quickly put down the food in her hand, walked over quickly, and shouted anxiously: "Aunt! Aunt? What's wrong with you? Wake up!"
Jiubao shook Chu Jianing's arm and found that she didn't respond at all.
Jiubao became even more worried. She was a little panicked at the moment. She calmed down and thought about it, then she immediately turned around and ran out of the yard. She came to the door opposite and knocked hard.
The door was soon opened and a woman in her forties appeared at the door.
Seeing Jiubao's anxious look, she couldn't help but feel nervous and asked hurriedly, "Little Jiubao, why are you here? What happened?"
Jiubao gasped and said anxiously, "Aunt Yang, it's bad. My aunt suddenly fainted and I can't wake her up. Can you help me?"
As Jiubao spoke, his eyes were red and his voice was filled with tears.
When Aunt Yang heard this, she immediately felt that something was wrong. She quickly shouted into the house, and soon, two strong young men ran out of the house.
When they saw Jiubao's anxious look, they knew something big had happened, and immediately followed Aunt Yang and hurried to Jiubao's house.
Aunt Yang and her two sons quickly worked together to send Chu Jianing to the hospital.
Seeing this, the doctor quickly began to examine.
Aunt Yang, her mother and son, and Jiubao were waiting anxiously on the side, praying silently in their hearts.
Time seemed to stand still, and every second seemed extremely long.
Soon, the doctor finished the examination.
She took off her mask and looked at Jiubao and the others with a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, Comrade Chu is pregnant. She might have been too tired recently, and she might also be a little malnourished, so she fainted. Don't worry, it's nothing serious."
She knew Chu Jianing and knew that she was the mainstay of the art troupe.
She heard that the art troupe was preparing for the New Year's Gala recently, and as the main star of the troupe, she must be very busy. In addition, she also had to maintain her figure, so her nutrition was not very good.
The doctor's words made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Jiubao was so excited that she almost cried. She held the doctor's hand tightly and said, "Thank you, doctor, thank you!"
But she was scared to death just now.
The doctor patted the back of her hand and comforted her, "Don't be polite. This is what I should do."
Jiubao knew that this time it was thanks to the timely help of Aunt Yang and her two sons.
She turned and bowed to Aunt Yang. "Thank you, Aunt Yang, and thank you, Brother Yang. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would do."
Aunt Yang quickly helped Jiubao up, "Why are you being so polite? We are all neighbors, and it's only natural for us to help each other."
