If the mother were here, she could probably take care of the child.
Lost in thought, I fell asleep without even realizing it.
Half a month later, the wife of the battalion commander of the third battalion gave birth to a baby girl, which made Aunt Ma very happy. She personally named her Feng Baozhu and declared, "I'm not going back to my hometown. I'm going to stay here and help take care of my precious granddaughter."
This made her son, Feng Qing, extremely happy. Now he wouldn't have to worry about where to find someone to take care of the child after his wife's leave was over.
Fu Ya brought gifts to offer her congratulations. Seeing that Aunt Ma was very good at taking care of the child, she immediately had an idea. She asked, "Auntie, I heard that you're not going back to your hometown. You're going to stay here and help Sister Hu take care of Baozhu?"
Aunt Ma said happily, "Yes, my Baozhu is so adorable, I can't bear to leave her. Besides, I can help out here, and my second son's wife can go to work with peace of mind."
Hu Xiaoxiao looked at her mother-in-law with a smile, thinking to herself: [If it weren't for the precious pearl, I wouldn't have been able to keep this big shot like you.]
Upon hearing this, Fu Ya's heart stirred, and she tentatively asked, "Auntie, since the child seems so experienced, could you please help take care of my Jiaojiao? I'm about to go back to work, and I really can't find a suitable person at home."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Ma's eyes lit up: "You mean you want me to watch your child during the day?"
Fu Ya nodded quickly: "Auntie, I don't want you to help for nothing. I'll give you ten yuan a month. You can help take care of it while I'm at work, and I'll take care of it myself after get off work. What do you think?"
After thinking for a moment, Aunt Ma asked, "What if the child is hungry?"
"I will buy her formula and let her eat it during the day. Don't worry, our Jiaojiao is very well-behaved. As long as she is full, she won't cry or fuss. She will only whimper a little when she is hungry or needs to poop or pee."
Aunt Ma looked at her daughter-in-law with a questioning look in her eyes, and Hu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "If you think you are capable, then take care of her. Don't worry about me."
Aunt Ma then smiled and said, "Alright, since you're so sincere, I agree."
"Thank you, ma'am. It's settled then. I'll bring Jiaojiao over when I go to work."
"OK."
Time flies, and in March, both Rong Zhigao and Rong Zhiyuan went to school.
Ten-year-old Rong Zhigao is in second grade, and eight-year-old Rong Zhiyuan is in first grade.
Shortly after the two started school, Rong Jiaojiao turned three months old, Fu Ya returned to work, and Rong Jiaojiao began a life of drinking milk at the Feng family's house during the day and breastfeeding at home at night.
Three months later, the little one grew up to be fair-skinned and adorable, attracting envious glances from many military wives, including Fu Ya and Rong Lianhu.
She was able to lift her head occasionally, and although it was only for a short time, it surprised and delighted Fu Ya and Rong Lianhu.
Her neck became stronger and stronger, and occasionally she was able to support her little head, curiously looking around at everything.
The little hands also became more dexterous, often grabbing their own little feet or waving their little hands to grab the toys in front of them.
Every day after get off work, Fu Ya would rush home, pick up Rong Jiaojiao, and play with her.
When Rong Zhigao and Rong Zhiyuan got home from school, they immediately went to find Rong Jiaojiao. If she were still at the Feng family's house, they would have picked her up and taken her home beforehand.
On the day that Feng Baozhu turned 100 days old, which happened to be a Sunday, the Feng family decided to hold a 100-day banquet since they had not held a full-month celebration banquet before.
Fu Ya was grateful to Aunt Ma for helping take care of the children, so she brought Rong Jiaojiao over, thinking that Aunt Ma would watch over them while she helped Sister Hu cook.
When Fu Ya arrived at the Feng family's house in the wooden baby stroller that Rong Lianhu had made himself, she found that several military wives were already helping out.
She exclaimed, "Oh dear! I said I was here to help, but it seems I'm too late."
A military wife smiled and said, "It's not late. Dr. Fu's arrival is just in time. We just got here too."
Hu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Dr. Fu, you don't need to help. The few of us are enough."
Seeing that there were many people and it was crowded, Fu Ya didn't go up to help. Instead, she chatted with Rong Jiaojiao and Aunt Ma, who were holding Feng Baozhu.
When Rong Jiaojiao heard everyone talking, she looked around with her little head turned. When Fu Ya saw this, she pulled up the back of the wooden cart so that Rong Jiaojiao could sit and look at the people.
At this moment, Xu Jingjing brought her daughter Song Chaoxi out to play. Seeing the lively scene here, she also brought her child over.
Song Chaoxi is almost two years old and can walk steadily. When she sees the two little girls, she wobbles over to them.
She leaned over Rong Jiaojiao's car and watched for a while before reaching out her hand to Rong Jiaojiao, her little mouth calling out, "Sister, sister, I want..."
Everyone thought she liked Rong Jiaojiao and wanted to touch her, so they teased her, "Does Xixi like her little sister?"
Song Chaoxi was still reaching out, while Rong Jiaojiao bared her toothless little mouth and babbled, reaching her hand closer to Song Chaoxi.
The change happened in the next second. Song Chaoxi grabbed Rong Jiaojiao's necklace and pulled her out along with her collar.
"Oh no!" Fu Ya exclaimed, instinctively reaching out to pull him back, but it was too late.
With a "thump," Rong Jiaojiao was suddenly pulled out of the stroller and fell directly to the ground.
Fu Ya's heart leaped into her throat. She scooped Rong Jiaojiao up in her arms and cried out in alarm, "Jiaojiao, are you alright?"
Rong Jiaojiao burst into tears from the fall, her little face turning bright red.
Not only her, but Song Chaoxi was also frightened and started crying. The cries of the two children were so loud that they were almost unbearable, causing great anxiety.
Fu Ya quickly checked her body and found that blood was seeping from her forehead and flowing down her cheeks.
"Quick, get a handkerchief!" Fu Ya shouted in a panic.
Hu Xiaoxiao immediately handed over a handkerchief, and Fu Ya carefully wiped the bloodstains from her daughter's forehead.
Aunt Ma was also frightened and quickly came over to help: "Dr. Fu, don't worry, let me take a look."
Xu Jingjing held her daughter and comforted her. When her daughter's crying subsided a bit, she walked over to Fu Ya and said, "Xiao Ya, I'm so sorry. I didn't expect Xi Xi to be like this."
Fu Ya managed to calm herself down. Both of them were doctors and could tell that the injury on the forehead was a superficial wound and shouldn't be a big problem. However, she was worried that the internal force might have damaged the child's brain, which made Fu Ya extremely anxious.
Feeling uncomfortable, but knowing they were good friends, she couldn't bring herself to scold him. She could only shake her head and say, "Jingjing, don't blame yourself. The child is still young and doesn't understand anything."
She carefully held Rong Jiaojiao in her arms and comforted her, "Jiaojiao, don't cry, Mommy's here."
Rong Jiaojiao's crying gradually subsided, but she was still sobbing intermittently, and the wound on her forehead was still bleeding.
Fu Ya didn't notice that the blood droplet she had left earlier was absorbed by the jade bead and then disappeared silently.
Everyone's attention was focused on Rong Jiaojiao's wound, and they didn't notice the change in the necklace.
Fu Ya told everyone that she was going to take her daughter home and ride her bicycle to the hospital for a check-up.
Hu Xiaoxiao quickly stopped her and said, "Dr. Fu, I'll take you there by bicycle."
Fu Ya shook her head: "No need, you still have a lot to do, I can go by myself."
