Chapter 90
Jiang Suihan saw Chenchen was absent-minded while drinking milk, and wondered, "He should be hungry at this time of the year, but why does he seem to have no appetite today? Is he sick?"
Children have poor resistance and have been on the train for such a long time, so it is easy for them to be contaminated by bacteria. Jiang Suihan couldn't help but look worried. She touched the child's forehead, then put her hand on her own forehead and compared the two sides.
"You don't have a fever, so why don't you like drinking milk?"
Chenchen likes drinking milk very much. He lifts up his toes every time he drinks milk. He is so cute.
Knowing that he had made the mistake, Xu Zhao hesitated for a second before deciding to confess: "When you were not around just now, Chenchen saw me eating noodles and wanted to eat some, so I fed him two small bites, really small bites."
He used his fingers to indicate that those two mouthfuls of noodles were really not much.
Jiang Suihan glanced at the father and son speechlessly. The older one had a guilty look on his face, while the younger one was holding the bottle with his two little hands, drinking milk comfortably.
"It's okay. Chenchen is already half a year old. He can eat some noodles, but not too much. He is very good at reading people's faces. He is very cunning. He knows who is the best to talk to. Don't be fooled by him."
When grandma-in-law is at home, besides his mother, Chenchen likes to be close to grandma the most. No matter what he wants to play or eat, as long as he frowns and pouts, grandma will coax him with a look of heartache and meet his demands. Every time Jiang Suihan sees grandma-in-law doting on her grandson unconditionally, she sometimes worries that she will raise a dissolute and prodigal son in the future.
Xu Zhao frowned: "I think Chenchen is very smart. Smart children are likable. You are a mother, you can't be prejudiced against our Chenchen."
The father and son had just met each other two months ago and were appreciating each other's love. In the eyes of the old father, Chenchen was beautiful and cute, smart and clever, and had almost no shortcomings.
The corner of Jiang Huihan's mouth twitched, and her expression was a little helpless: "Okay, you two have a good relationship as father and son, so I won't be the bad guy in the middle, you can do whatever you want."
After a few days, Xu Zhao realized how annoying the brat was. When he wasn't crying, he really looked like a little angel, and just looking at him could make people feel good. But once he started crying, his head hurt, and he felt upset. He wanted to throw the brat out and forget about it.
A middle-aged doctor came over to check: "The wound has healed well. Remember not to do strenuous exercise or heavy work within this month. When the wound is better, you can go downstairs and take a walk."
Jiang Suihan stood aside holding Chenchen and asked the doctor, "How long will it take before we can be discharged from the hospital?"
The doctor closed the medical record in his hand and said, "Your wife is in good health, and young people recover quickly. I estimate that she will be discharged from the hospital in about half a month."
After receiving a fairly certain answer, Jiang Huihan smiled and said, "Thank you, you've worked hard."
The doctor looked at Jiang Suihan with a little surprise. He had been working in the hospital for twenty years and had treated many patients. There were also many patients and their families who thanked him. This was the first time someone said to him "thank you for your hard work".
"It's your job. Take some rest. I'm leaving now."
Jiang Suihan put Chenchen next to Xu Zhao and scratched the child's chin: "You are quite brave."
Just now when the doctor was checking Xu Zhao's wound, she wanted to carry Chenchen out, but she was worried that the child would be scared when seeing the hideous wound. Chenchen made a fuss and refused to leave. He opened his big round eyes and saw the wound on his father's body without blinking and did not cry.
Xu Zhaoyu was proud of it: "Don't you even look at whose child it is?"
Could his son be a coward?
It must not be.
Jiang Suihan made an exaggerated expression and deliberately said, "You are right, sons take after their fathers. Chenchen's father is so awesome, how can Chenchen not be awesome?"
Xu Zhao nodded as a matter of course. Jiang Huihan rolled her eyes at him unhappily and muttered, "Narcissism."
As a young man in his twenties, he has a fast metabolism and a good military physique. With his lovely wife and young children by his side, he is in a good mood every day. Jiang Suihan takes good care of him and makes sure he has three meals a day. Xu Zhao's physical recovery is faster than expected.
The train ticket back to Li Province was bought a few days ago. There were two sleeper berths. With Xu Zhao by her side, Jiang Suihan didn't have to take care of the child alone and keep an eye on him all the time, which made her feel a lot more relaxed.
Xu Zhao brought Chenchen over: "Go to sleep for a while, Chenchen, I'm here."
Jiang Suihan couldn't help but yawn. It should be past ten o'clock in the evening. She was indeed sleepy. She didn't bother to be polite with him: "Then I'll go to sleep first. It'll be your turn later. Remember to call me when the time comes."
Although the sleeper car was not as crowded and messy as the hard seat car outside, it was still a train with a child who knew nothing, so Jiang Suihan and Xu Zhao did not dare to sleep at the same time. They agreed that one person would sleep and rest while the other looked after the child, and they would take turns.
Chenchen woke up in the middle of the night and wanted to drink milk. The child was still half asleep and subconsciously pushed his little head into his father's arms for milk. Xu Zhao was a little embarrassed. He held the child in his arms to coax him while taking the bottle to fill with hot water.
After drinking the milk he had been longing for, Chenchen stopped making a fuss, but his little eyebrows were still frowned.
Daddy doesn’t smell as good as mommy, and his embrace isn’t as soft as mommy’s. I want mommy.
After drinking the milk, Chenchen yawned a little, then felt sleepy and continued to sleep with his head resting on his father's chest.
When Jiang Suihan woke up, it was already dawn.
She quickly sat up and turned around to see Xu Zhao holding Chenchen and teasing him. The child was laughing so hard that his saliva was streaming down his face.
Jiang Suihan felt guilty: "Why didn't you wake me up?"
They had agreed to take turns sleeping, but she ended up sleeping until the next day, and Xu Zhao looked after the child all night.
Xu Zhao: "I didn't wake you up because you were sleeping so soundly. It's okay. I used to stay up four or five nights on duty. This is only one night."
Seeing that his eyes were a little dark, his complexion was fine. Thinking that he had just recovered from his injury and couldn't be too tired, Jiang Suihan carried Chenchen over and said, "I'll take care of Chenchen. There are still more than three hours before we arrive at the station. You take a nap. I'll call you when we get there."
Xu Zhao pinched his arm calmly. He was indeed a little tired after staying up all night. "Okay, wake me up if anything happens. Don't be alone."
The weather was cold and the child was restless when sleeping. He slept from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed, and then from the foot of the bed to the head of the bed. The berth was small and the military coat did not fit the child tightly and leaked air. Afraid that the child would catch a cold, Xu Zhao held Chenchen in his arms and slept for a whole night. Both of his arms were numb.
Jiang Suihan knew that he was worried about her and Chenchen, so she nodded and said, "I understand. I won't move around and go to sleep quickly."
There was another couple in the car, they were young, probably in their early twenties.
The female comrade said, "Your husband is so good to you. Just now your son laughed a little loudly, so he told the child not to wake up his mother. Then your son was very obedient and covered his mouth. I have never seen a child as well-behaved and smart as your son."
She got married last year and her family has started urging her to have children. She is only 22 years old and wants to have children later. Her husband is the eldest and youngest in the family and has four nephews and nieces. With so many children, the home is very noisy. He has no objection to his wife not wanting to have children for the time being and thinks it's fine.
Looking at Chenchen's pretty and cute little face, the woman's thoughts changed. It would be so happy if she could give birth to a child like Chenchen.
Jiang Suihan smiled and said, "That's the only thing that makes him cute. Sometimes he gets more annoying than Sun Wukong when he makes trouble in the sky. He sleeps during the day and doesn't sleep at night, which makes the family stay up all night with him. When I just came out of confinement, my hair fell out in clumps, all because of him."
When Chenchen was younger, he had a very bad temper. If he was fed a little late, he would cry loudly. If his diaper was not changed in time, he would also cry. If I was busy with something and ignored him, he would still cry.
During those months, everyone had a conditioned reflex when they heard Chenchen crying, especially Jiang Suihan. Every time she heard Chenchen crying, she would cover her ears. It was so painful.
Chenchen seemed to know that his mother was saying bad things about him, and he nudged his mother's belly with his little head.
What? I'm not a crybaby.
Lesbians really didn’t know that raising a child was so troublesome: “Is it so scary?”
She thought that it would be better to have a child later. She needed time to prepare herself mentally, and it would be enough to just be envious of other people's children.
Jiang Suihan saw that she seemed to be frightened, and hurriedly said, "I exaggerated a little. You don't have to worry too much. Life with and without children is completely different. After having children, although life does have some troubles that you haven't had before, the happiness that children can bring is irreplaceable. That feeling is wonderful. You will understand it when you have your own children in the future."
Before Chenchen was born, she and Xu Zhao had agreed that she would play the role of the loving mother and Xu Zhao would be the strict father. She remembered that she had vowed at the time that if the child made a mistake and Xu Zhao wanted to educate the child, she would never interfere. But now, if Xu Zhao wanted to beat Chenchen, she could not guarantee that she would not turn against Xu Zhao.
After looking at the watch on her wrist, Jiang Huihan woke Xu Zhao up.
Xu Zhao opened his eyes, still a little sleepy: "Are we there yet?"
Get off in the city first, then go to the station to buy a ticket and take the bus back to the county.
Wang Dahe grinned happily, waved his hand and shouted: "Here."
Jiang Suihan saw Jiang Weiyu and asked, "Why are you here too?"
"Today is Saturday, so we don't have to go to work." Jiang Weiyu couldn't wait to carefully lift the blanket that covered Chenchen. Seeing the child's big eyes that were as black and bright as black grapes, she smiled and said, "Chenchen, are you awake? Do you still remember your aunt?"
When at home, Jiang Wei Yu often helps take care of Chen Chen. The child has a very good relationship with his aunt. After not seeing each other for half a month, Chen Chen looked at Jiang Wei Yu with some confusion.
Jiang Suihan pretended to be sad and looked at Chenchen: "You are such a heartless Chenchen. You have forgotten your aunt in just half a month. I have been thinking about you day and night, but my tears have been wasted."
Jiang Huihan patted her cousin's hand, shook her head and laughed: "Okay, children have short memories. When they first arrived in Yun City, Chenchen still didn't remember his father."
Xu Zhao glanced at Jiang Huihan and secretly complained, why was he being compared to her?
The son did not think that the fact that he had forgotten his biological father was something glorious to boast about.
The four of them first went to a state-owned restaurant to fill their stomachs, and then went to the department store for a round of shopping.
Wang Dahe secretly glanced at Xu Zhao. Deputy Captain Xu was holding the child calmly and let his sister-in-law do all the paying. From this incident, one can imagine the captain's status in the family.
Wang Dahe silently gave a thumbs up in his heart, his sister-in-law is so awesome!
Xu Zhao turned his head and met Wang Dahe's sympathetic eyes. He frowned and a question mark slowly appeared on his face.
