Chapter 44 The Most Handsome Guy in the Entire Military Hospital
"Of course!" Wen Qingqian's eyes lit up instantly, and she was quite touched. "Mom has never taken you out shopping before."
She was afraid to take Xiaohui out before, worried that Xiaohui would feel inferior because she couldn't see.
She was also afraid that people would point fingers at her. She could bear the strange looks from those people, but she was afraid that her child wouldn't be able to bear it.
But now, after what Zhizhi said, she has figured it out.
Parents love their children and plan far ahead for them, but they never consider whether these things are what their children need.
She felt guilty for neglecting Xiaohui's feelings in the past, so now she just wanted to do everything she could to make up for it.
Upon hearing the news, Sang Zhizhi immediately raised her hand in agreement, "Great! I was just about to go out to buy meat! Aunt Wen, Aunt Cuiping, wait for me! Wait for me!"
With that, she wiggled her little body and darted into the house, soon setting off with her own little vegetable basket on her back.

Supply and Marketing Cooperative
Sang Zhizhi held Aunt Cuiping's hand and greeted the uncles and aunts who were buying groceries around them familiarly.
"Zhizhi is helping Mom and Daddy buy groceries again? How sweet she is!"
"Yes! Mom promised to make shredded pork noodles today."
"Sweetie, eggs are cheaper today, do you want to buy some?"
"No, no, I'm out shopping with two aunties and a handsome guy today, so we won't queue!"
Hearing how skilled the little one was, Wen Qingqian was a little surprised. "Zhizhi, are your parents worried about you going out to buy groceries at such a young age?"
Sang Zhizhi's eyes curved like crescent moons as she smiled and said, "I've grown up! I'm a mature vegetable picker now!"
Wen Qingqian was amused and couldn't help but poke the dimples on her face.
"No wonder, all the uncles and aunts were praising you on the way here. It turns out our Zhizhi is a little adult!"
Yes, yes!
Every single egg she picked was the biggest!
Every piece of meat she bought was pork belly!
She's not a three-year-old anymore.
because... ...
She's already a sensible three-and-a-half-year-old little adult!
Sang Zhizhi proudly puffed out her little chest, wishing she could shake her feathers to let everyone know that she was the most powerful!
Every baby dog can't help but smug when its parents praise it as a little adult.
Zhizhi was no exception. She led the two aunties into the supply and marketing cooperative with ease, explaining where everything was placed.
This adorable little boy became the center of attention as soon as he entered.
Even the shy Aunt Cuiping couldn't help but smile when she heard the people around her praising the cubs.
In other families, the parents take the children out to shop, but in their case, the toddlers take them out to shop.
Not only is Zhizhi smart, but she is also so lovable. Even when they go out and hear these compliments, they feel proud and want to show her off to the whole world.
Such an adorable baby belongs to their family!
Wen Qingqian jokingly added, "Alright, alright, then we two adults will ask baby Zhizhi to take us shopping, shall we?"
She also found it strange, since she had initially distrusted Zhizhi and even treated her poorly.
But after such a short time together, she couldn't help but like Zhizhi.
Just like being around Zhizhi makes me feel happy and relaxed.
Zhizhi seems to possess a magical quality; whenever she appears, people can't help but want to rub her little face and snuggle up to her.
"Mom... is your throat alright?"
Yuan Hui looked at her with some concern. Her mother's voice was normal just now, but when she talked to Zhizhi, her voice became sweet and gentle.
Wen Qingqian staggered slightly, awkwardly forcing a smile, "Is...is that so?"
She only squeezed it slightly, was it that obvious?
Yuan Hui nodded. "Yes."
Sang Zhizhi blinked, looking left and right, not understanding what the handsome brother meant.
What's wrong with Auntie's voice?
Isn't that how everyone talks to children?
The uncles and aunts all spoke to her in such a soft and sweet voice.
Never mind, business is more important.
She's going to buy the freshest meat!
Sang Zhizhi dashed to the meat stall in front to queue up. Wen Qingqian was about to follow when she found her son already following closely behind Zhizhi. The two children, one big and one small, stood eagerly in front of the stall, chatting and laughing.
When Wen Qingqian saw her son like this, her eyes welled up with tears.
Cuiping silently pulled out a tissue from her pocket and gave it to her. "Minister Wen, isn't it great that Xiaohui is willing to queue up with Zhizhi? Why are you so upset?"
"I'm not sad, I'm just teary-eyed."
She reached out to fan herself, trying to hold back her tears, but she was too emotional and couldn't help but grab Cuiping's hand and murmur, "When I get back, I have to tell my husband to thank Commander Jiang properly. How could he be so lucky to marry someone like Deng Qiu? Not only did he marry someone as beautiful and capable as Deng Qiu, but he also got such a lovable and clever daughter like Zhizhi for free. I'll have to make my husband treat him to a drink later. He's so lucky!"
Cuiping was both amused and exasperated.
So, while they said they were thanking Commander Jiang, they were actually praising Zhizhi?
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that Minister Wen could be so easily won over by a child.
"If all else fails, why don't you ask the former political commissar for another child? You're beautiful, your daughter will definitely be pretty too."
Upon hearing Cuiping's words, Wen Qingqian showed a look of sudden realization, "...That's right."
She clapped her hands and laughed excitedly, "I have to make Zhizhi my daughter!"
Cuiping was stunned. "Huh?"
Zhizhi... isn't she Commander Jiang's daughter?
She was probably referring to adopting a goddaughter, right?
I think... right?
"Your suggestion is excellent. Other people's daughters will always belong to other people. I have to take Zhizhi away and make her my own daughter!"
Wen Qingqian became happier and happier as she thought about it. She had already started planning to set aside one of the three large rooms in her house specifically for Zhizhi to put a whole wardrobe of her little dresses.
Yes! I also need to buy some pretty headbands and all sorts of cute little leather shoes!
That's wonderful! Wen Qingqian is going to have a daughter!
It seems that not only is Commander Jiang lucky, but Wen Qingqian's life is not bad either!
"Let's go shopping and pick out a few dresses for Wen Zhizhi. Oh, or maybe I should just buy a whole new wardrobe! Cuiping! Do you think it's too late for me to start saving money for her? Zhizhi will be going to university in a few years, and the tuition will definitely be expensive. Yes, yes, I need to start planning!"
Cuiping: "... ...Huh?"
Commander Jiang hasn't even agreed to give up the child yet, how come she's already planning for the child's college education?
And... why does Zhizhi have the surname Wen?
Cuiping couldn't help but shake her head with a smile. She reached out and put her hand on Wen Qingqian's shoulder, finding it amusing. "Minister Wen, aren't you thinking too soon? Regiment Commander Jiang and his wife have a very good relationship. They probably won't agree to give Zhizhi to you. What I mean is, you and the former political commissar should have another daughter."
So it turns out he didn't give Zhizhi to himself to be his daughter...
Wen Qingqian couldn't hide her disappointment. She waved her hand and said, "Then let's forget about it."
"Why don't you want a daughter?"
"I do want to, but if I have a daughter, will she be as cute as Zhizhi?"
Cuiping thought for a moment, then hesitated before speaking, "......it's a bit difficult."
"Is my three-and-a-half-year-old daughter capable of grocery shopping by herself?"
"It seems unlikely."
"Isn't that the end of it? If she's not as good as Zhizhi, then what's the point of having a daughter? What if she's like that deadpan Yuan Tengzhen? I might as well have a piece of barbecued pork."
“So…” Wen Qingqian sighed and shook her head, her gaze falling on Zhizhi’s retreating figure in the distance, her eyes gradually hardening, “I need to discuss with Commander Jiang about having a child!”
