The two little ones' eyes lit up when they tasted the sweet and fluffy cream cake for the first time.
In no time, he finished the cake in the spoon.
So delicious!
I haven't had enough!
Then, two pairs of big, dark eyes immediately looked at the others... and the cake in their hands.
this……
The old man and his third uncle, holding the cake, felt incredibly sad looking at their great-grandson's pitiful eyes.
Mr. and Mrs. Huo weren't much better off; if it were anything else, they would have fed it to the two little ones long ago.
But Jiang Si had already warned everyone beforehand that the child was still young and could only have a taste.
After all, these are all vegetable-based creams, and eating too much of them can be a burden on the stomach and intestines.
Seeing this, the group had no choice but to harden their hearts and eat the cake while the two little ones stared in disbelief.
Sui Sui: "???"
Zhao Zhao: "!!!"
The two were completely dumbfounded; this was the first time in their lives they had ever been so embarrassed.
Fortunately, there are plenty of delicious and fun things to do at home.
Soon the little ones' attention was drawn to the wide variety of gifts.
In the evening, after seeing off all the guests and tidying up the living room, Jiang Si finally had time to count the red envelopes she had received that day.
Just as they finished ordering half of it, Huo Tingzhou, having finished washing up, pressed himself against them from behind.
"young married woman."
A warm breath brushed against her ear, and Jiang Si smiled and dodged to the side.
"It itches! Stop messing around, I need to finish clicking on all these red envelopes, otherwise I'll forget about them after a while."
"It's okay, I'll order for you." Huo Tingzhou buried his head in the crook of her neck. "I'll order, you can put it on the tab."
Jiang Si chuckled and patted his hand. "No need, I'll order myself."
How could a man understand the joy of counting money?
Huo Tingzhou didn't say anything more.
After she had finished ordering, he carefully packed away the red envelopes that had been removed from the bed.
"Wife, what did you wish for today?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Si stopped what she was doing.
To be honest, at that moment, she had so many wishes, but in the end, only eight words came to mind.
"Which eight characters?"
"With love, with support, without illness, without disaster."
Don't be fooled by the fact that it's only eight characters long; it's actually quite ambitious.
"And you, what did you wish for?" Jiang Si asked.
Huo Tingzhou hesitated for a moment.
Finally, he was defeated under Jiang Si's curious gaze.
"It's also eight characters."
Which eight?
"My wife's dream came true."
Jiang Si paused upon hearing this, then a smile crept onto her lips.
The next second, she tilted her head back and kissed his chin.
Couples may also have their own little romantic gestures or secret codes.
And that is it.
Almost instantly, Huo Tingzhou's eyes darkened, and he turned off the bedside lamp.
...
After the first birthday banquet, the lively days began to quiet down.
Encouraged by his son, Huo Tingzhou went to the training base early the next morning.
Jiang Si spent a day at home to recover.
Fortunately, there's not much going on at work right now, so I can just go to the construction site whenever I have a spare moment each day.
In her spare time, she took her two sisters-in-law to visit all the major and minor attractions in Beijing.
The weather in October is neither too hot nor too cold, making it convenient to go anywhere.
But on the weekend, the three who were supposed to return from the training base...
Oh, no, it's four people.
Brother Huo also arrived in Beijing three days ago with people from the Xinjiang Military Region.
There was too much time, so my sister-in-law and the others didn't come along this time.
When the door opened, Xu Mingjuan was quite surprised to see that only Deputy Regiment Commander Lei had returned.
"Why are you the only one who came back? Don't they get a day off today?"
"Let them go, but they said they need to do more practice."
Compared to the urgent matter concerning Sister Hu's family, the matter of Deputy Regiment Commander Lei being transferred to the military region was not so pressing.
Their little stone is not even a year old, and it will be several years before he can start primary school.
After discussing it, the couple decided to take advantage of these few years to accumulate more military merits and try to transfer to Beijing before starting primary school.
Xu Mingjuan wasn't saying she didn't care about her husband, but she felt that it wasn't right for him to come back alone while everyone else was practicing extra.
Deputy Regiment Commander Lei chuckled sheepishly, offered no explanation, and took his son from him.
Little Stone is currently learning to walk, and he wants to get down as soon as he opens his eyes every day; his energy is frightening.
After a whole day, it really strained my back.
"By the way, honey, I have something to tell you."
"What's up?"
Deputy Regiment Commander Lei said, "The temperature has been a bit low these past two nights. Why don't you tell your wife and sister-in-law?"
"Have them pack two sets of clothes, I'll take them to Old Huo and Old Xiao."
How could Xu Mingjuan not understand her own man?
She gave him a half-smile, half-amused look. "What did they say exactly?"
Deputy Regiment Commander Lei was taken aback. "How did you know?"
Xu Mingjuan was too embarrassed to call him out on it.
He usually takes care of what he wears and brings when he goes out. When has he ever worried about such things?
Besides, she didn't feel cold at all.
How could a bunch of grown men be afraid of the cold!
Deputy Regiment Commander Lei hadn't thought that far ahead and simply repeated Huo Tingzhou's words verbatim.
Aunt Xu laughed as soon as she heard that, "Why would you bring anything?"
Aren't you bringing it?
Well, I can't explain this to him.
Sister-in-law Xu waved her hand, "You don't need to worry about this. I know what I'm doing."
So, the next day, after Deputy Regiment Commander Lei returned to the team, she told Jiang Si and the others about it.
