In the middle of the night, Chen Chen heard the groaning sound of the person next to him and immediately opened his eyes alertly.
Xu Miaomiao was seen frowning uncomfortably, moaning uncomfortably, and rubbing her legs uncomfortably.
He quickly crawled over, lifted up the leg, and kneaded it carefully.
Xu Miaomiao is now in the late stage of pregnancy and often suffers from cramps at night, so Chen Chen has been much more alert when sleeping recently.
As soon as I heard her voice, I would get up quickly and rub her legs, trying not to wake her up.
Chen Chen rubbed his face while frowning in pain. Before, he only knew that giving birth was hard for women, but he didn't have any specific concept.
It was not until this period of time, when he looked at Xu Miaomiao, that he realized how much suffering a woman has to endure when giving birth.
After Xu Miaomiao's belly became bigger, she could no longer sleep lying flat on her back because she would feel pressured and couldn't breathe. After she fell asleep on her side, she needed his help to turn over because her belly was too big.
My legs became swollen and I couldn’t even wear shoes, so I had to wear slippers all the time.
In addition, her legs cramped frequently, making it difficult for her to get a good night's sleep.
When he saw Xu Miaomiao's brows relax, Chen Chen rubbed them again before lying back down.
But tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. He had just laid down and was yet to fall asleep when someone knocked on the door.
He turned over and wanted to open the door as soon as possible so as not to wake up Xu Miaomiao, but she was already awake from the cramps she had earlier.
Now, when I heard the sound of the door, I was completely awake and sat down with my arms leaning against the wall.
Someone knocked on the door at this time, so it must be something urgent. Chen Chen didn't dare to delay and hurried over to open the door.
Sure enough, it was Xiao Li who came knocking on the door. He was so anxious late at night that he was sweating all over his forehead.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Li hurriedly followed him into the house, talking as he walked.
"Captain, your superiors asked you to lead the team out and capture someone."
Chen Chen asked in a deep voice, "Only our company stood up straight?"
Xiao Li shook his head. "No, several companies in our regiment have received missions tonight."
Chen Chen's face darkened when he heard this. The person who could mobilize so many people in the middle of the night to catch someone must not be an ordinary person.
Sure enough, Xiao Li's next words confirmed his suspicions, "It is said that this is a deep-cover enemy spy who stole a top-secret document this time."
The two men talked as they walked, and at this time they had already entered the main room. Chen Chen asked him to wait there.
"I'll go in, put on some clothes, tell your sister-in-law, and then I'll leave."
Just as he was about to push the door open, Xu Miaomiao opened the door and came out. She was stunned when she saw Xiao Li.
I quickly realized that there must be some urgent mission. Seeing that he was so anxious that his forehead was covered with sweat and his lips were chapped, he must have run to many places to report the news.
Xu Miaomiao first poured him a bowl of water, and after watching him drink it, she asked, "Is there any mission?"
Xiao Li hesitated a little and looked at Chen Chen without saying anything. Seeing him like this, Xu Miaomiao understood.
"I understand. Keep it a secret."
Xiao Li was a little embarrassed and wanted to explain, so Xu Miaomiao smiled and said, "My grandfather is also a soldier. Many missions must be kept secret. I understand."
At this time, Chen Chen had already put on his clothes and came out. He looked at Xu Miaomiao reluctantly and gave her instructions.
"I have to go on an urgent mission, and I'm not sure when I'll be back. I'm worried about you being alone at home. Why don't you go back to your grandfather's house tomorrow? I'll pick you up when I get back."
This kind of mission to search for enemy spies was not certain when the person would be caught, so he was worried about leaving Xu Miaomiao alone with her big belly.
Xu Miaomiao smiled and pushed his waist, walking them both out, agreeing verbally.
"Just go ahead and carry out your mission without worry. I will definitely take good care of us."
Chen Chen and Xiao Li disappeared into the night with big strides.
After Xu Miaomiao closed the door and returned to her room, she couldn't sleep. She had long known what kind of life she would live after marrying a soldier.
When she was a child, she often saw her grandfather being suddenly called away while he was eating, and it was not certain when he would come back.
It is even uncertain whether the person will still be healthy when we meet again.
But this path was chosen by her herself, and she couldn't let Chen Chen worry about her when he was on a mission outside.
So even if she couldn't sleep, she forced herself to lie down and close her eyes to rest.
Chen Chen was not there, so there was no one to help her get food from the cafeteria, and she was too lazy to get up and make breakfast.
He held onto the wall and strolled back and forth around his small yard. Just as he was lost in thought, he saw Zhang Hua coming in with a lunch box.
Xu Miaomiao asked with some confusion, "Sister-in-law Zhang?"
Zhang Hua smiled brightly, reached out to help her sit down at the table in the yard, and opened the lunch box he brought with him.
Seeing her confused face, he kindly explained, "Last night, Xiao Li and your company commander Chen came to my house to look for Lao Liu. He remembered that he had left and no one would make you food."
"So you asked me to come and deliver the food."
Xu Miaomiao felt a little embarrassed, "I'm really sorry to trouble you, Sister Zhang."
Zhang Hua waved his hand nonchalantly, "Hey, it's no big deal. The man is out running around, and we have to help each other when we stay home."
"Besides, my old Liu said that he and Chen Chen are close friends, like he is his own brother."
Since she said so, Xu Miaomiao picked up the lunch box and ate without any pretense. She was now two.
Zhang Hua brought her an egg pancake that he had made himself, and he probably added some sugar to it, so it tasted sweet.
Zhang Hua was happy to see her good appetite. He looked at her big belly and asked, "Are you seven months pregnant?"
Xu Miaomiao wiped her mouth and said, "Well, a little over seven months."
Zhang Hua has been married for so many years but has no children, and she is very envious when she sees other people getting pregnant.
Looking at her belly, his face was full of love, "That's great, it looks like she's not going to toss anyone around."
Xu Miaomiao smiled and nodded, "Yeah, he's not making trouble, he's very well behaved."
Zhang Hua packed up his lunch box and prepared to go home. Before leaving, he asked her, "Miaomiao, what do you want to eat for lunch today? Tell your sister-in-law."
It was already troublesome enough to ask someone to deliver the meal, so how could she feel comfortable ordering more dishes? Xu Miaomiao quickly said that she was not picky about food and anything was fine with her.
After thinking for a while, he added, "Sister-in-law, why don't you just go to the cafeteria and get me a meal at noon."
Zhang Hua disagreed and said, "Why go to the cafeteria? Otherwise I have to cook for myself, so I can bring you along."
She said she was bringing her a meal, but what was delivered to her at noon was four dishes and a soup with both meat and vegetables.
Xu Miaomiao wanted to refuse, but she didn't listen at all. She just said, "You are eating for two people now, you can't fool around."
The evening meal was another nutritious one, without even the leftovers from lunch.
Xu Miaomiao felt very uncomfortable while eating. She was a person who was afraid of troubling others. When she wanted to come and keep Xu Miaomiao company at night, Xu Miaomiao seriously refused. She couldn't trouble others like this.
