Hearing this, Qin Dongling said seriously: "Then I hope there is another life."
Xu Mei smiled and glanced at him.
Shortly after dawn, Guan Jinghua came over with porridge. With her looking after Xu Mei, Qin Dongling went to arrange for discharge from the hospital.
When they were discharged from the hospital, Qin Dongling supported Xu Mei, and Guan Jinghua held her granddaughter, and they returned to the Qin family together.
Looking at Qin Dongling busying around and considering everything, Guan Jinghua nodded secretly.
There was a problem with her daughter's delivery. Although she knew that her son-in-law could not be with her, she had no choice but to do so. However, she was Xu Mei's biological mother after all, so it was inevitable that she had some thoughts in her mind.
But she had seen his performance over the past few days, and this little complaint had long since disappeared.
"Dong Ling, just go in and look after Xiao Mei. I'll cook." Guan Jinghua took over the cooking task.
Qin Dongling walked into the room and saw that his little girl was still awake. He walked lightly. Although he was a grown man, he was bending over cautiously to look at his daughter.
Seeing him like this, Xu Mei inexplicably thought of the foreign poems she read in the book, and her eyes were full of soft light.
There is a fierce tiger sniffing the roses, isn’t this what the scene is like at this moment?
"Should we give our daughter a name?" Qin Dongling stretched out his index finger. His daughter's hands were so small that it was difficult for her to even hold her father's fingers.
Qin Dongling looked at the pair of small hands, touched them lightly and then retracted them. The child's hands were too tender, unlike his hands which were covered with calluses.
"I've already thought about it." Xu Mei said, "Let's call her Yuman, Qin Yuman, okay?"
She deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word "Qin", which was her indelible obsession.
"Yu means beautiful jade, representing her beauty and preciousness. The word 'Man' symbolizes elegance and gentleness, but I prefer its other layer of openness. I hope she will have a smooth and beautiful life."
She carefully explained the meaning of these two words, both to Qin Dongling and to herself.
"The name you chose is great." Qin Dongling sighed sincerely.
His wife's education and quality are really excellent. It is a blessing for him to marry her.
"Xiaoman, from now on you will be called Xiaoman." He moved closer to his daughter.
The couple looked at the girl lying on the bed together, one with an expression of doting and joy, the other with emotion and relief.
In the past, no one cared about the meaning of Manman's name.
But from this moment on, from the moment she returned to them, she was their only, precious daughter.
…
After Qin Dongling confirmed which two words they were, he quickly went to register his daughter's household registration. At that time, the household registration book was a large booklet with handwritten records of their relationship and his daughter's date of birth.
When they returned, Xu Mei couldn't wait to read it. Qin Dongling opened it and said, "The writing on it is far inferior to yours."
"It's good enough that you can recognize it, but you are still picky." Xu Meisui complained, flipping through the household book for a long time before putting it away.
The place where she put it was not hidden. In the next few days, Qin Dongling was often seen taking it out and reading it. Perhaps he, like her, had a feeling of unreality.
But the words on the household registration book were static, and the daughter who was growing up day by day was full of reality. When she was about to be one month old, Qin Dongling's vacation was over.
At this time, his injuries had healed a lot. Looking at his daughter who was growing more and more lovely, and his wife who had not yet recovered, his steps seemed so heavy as he packed his luggage.
"Don't think about family matters on the battlefield and don't let it affect your mood. We are all waiting for you to come back." Xu Mei helped him pack up and did not forget to remind him.
"I know," Qin Dongling looked at his daughter who had her eyes open, then crawled over and looked at her, "Xiaoman, stay at home with your mother and grandmother and be obedient."
"She's so young, how can she understand this?"
She originally insisted on sending Qin Dongling to the station, but she had not yet finished her confinement and could not be exposed to the wind, so Qin Dongling was very determined not to let her go.
After he packed his luggage, I saw him leaving with his things, looking back every three steps. I felt like there was a void in my heart.
In her previous life, she had to endure hardships alone without anyone to support her, so she had to be strong. But this time, with her family and lover around, she became more vulnerable.
"Dongling has responsibilities and plans for success. Don't worry about those trivial things. Nannan still needs her mother to take care of her." Guan Jinghua comforted her.
Her daughter will always be the softest spot in Xu Mei's heart. She looked at the sleeping little face that looked like her own and quickly perked up.
On the day she was discharged from confinement, Lei Yonglan brought a few good female classmates to see her, holding two pieces of brown sugar in their hands, which were gifts they had collected together.
At a time when rationing was already in effect, this was a scarce commodity.
"Since you're here, why bring this?" Xu Mei didn't need it, but she was afraid that her friends would save money for these two pieces of brown sugar.
"We've been living in such a tight spot for a while now. Everything will be fine once we graduate and get assigned jobs. Where is Xiao Manman? Let's go see her."
Xu Mei went into the house and brought her daughter out, and the female students were instantly melted by her cuteness.
"How come her skin is so fair and rosy? She's truly your biological daughter, Xu Mei. Your features could practically be transferred onto her face."
Lei Yonglan exclaimed in amazement, "Bloodline is indeed the greatest and most wonderful thing in this world."
Although the other female classmates didn't open their mouths, they were also staring intently. The baby in the cradle had his fingers raised on his cheeks, and his cheeks were rosy from sleeping. He was as adorable as he could be.
The whole day, this group of proud girls from the university were all surrounding Xiaoman.
It was not until the end that I reluctantly left.
Lei Yonglan and Xu Mei had the best relationship, so she left last. Looking at Xu Mei, who was holding her daughter with a loving expression, she asked, "Xu Mei, when will you return to school?"
"I'll be back in a few days. My mother can help me look after Xiaoman."
Graduation is approaching, and the scores of each course are crucial and will affect the final job assignment.
Xu Mei has a strong foundation and imaginative thinking, which makes her very appreciated by her teachers. She gets high scores in almost every subject.
If this happened to anyone, they would probably be ecstatic.
But Xu Mei hasn't recently.
The situation on Qin Dongling's side was not peaceful. She confiscated the other party's letter, but heard that they had started fighting again.
Fortunately, her mother is by her side. She loves her daughter and her mother loves her. The strong mother-daughter relationship makes her not so panicked.
Time slowly enters February,
Qin Dongling finally sent a letter home, stating that they had returned to their original unit, and the unit had reported his military exploits to the higher authorities. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be the regiment commander after the Chinese New Year.
Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that he can come back before the New Year and reunite with his family.
