Su Le was awakened by hunger. Li Zichen was still fast asleep next to him. Su Le got up on tiptoe. It was already dark outside.
Su Le took the fruits, vegetables, beef, and pork from his space and placed them in the kitchen freezer. He also took out two bottles of Royal Canin Stage 1 milk powder, a pack of diapers, several sets of children's clothes, and two blankets. He tore off all the labels.
Su Le returned to the room and saw two eyes staring at her. Su Le turned on the light and asked, "Why are you awake?"
Li Zichen looked at her aggrievedly, "Wife, I thought you left. Where have you been?"
Su Le said, "I went out and bought some things. I'll go return the things to them later. Then I'll ask Jiaojiao and the others to come over for dinner. They probably don't have any food either. Luckily I bought some."
Li Zichen got up, put on his clothes, and walked into the living room. He saw a large bag of things. He went forward and rummaged through it. "Wife, why did you buy so much?"
Su Le said, "You can go to him, so we must have a good relationship. I am the wife of the captain, so it's okay to give him a gift."
Li Zichen smiled, hugged her, and kissed her soft lips.
Li Zichen was carrying his belongings and walking down the street with Su Le by his hand. Many people were eating at home at this time. Li Zichen knocked on Song Pa's door again. Song Pa opened the door and saw Li Zichen and a beautiful woman. "Captain, hello, sister-in-law."
Su Le smiled and said, "Let's go see the child."
Song Pa welcomed the two of them in, and Li Zichen handed the bag to Song Pa, "Your sister-in-law bought this."
"I can't accept this!" Songpa declined.
Su Le smiled and said, "Keep it. It's my gift to the child. Is the child asleep?"
Songpa's wife came out of the room. "The captain is here? Come and sit down. Is this the captain's wife? She's so pretty."
Songpa asked, "Is the child asleep?"
Song Pa's wife Li Wei said, "No, I'll carry it out right away."
Song Pa poured them a glass of water. Su Le looked around the house. It was warm and cozy, unlike their own cold place. Su Le glared at Li Zichen, who was baffled.
Li Wei brought the child out. Su Le came forward to take a closer look. It was tiny, with yellowish whites of its eyes. Su Le asked, "Can I hold it?"
Li Wei carefully placed the child in Su Le's hands and instructed her how to hold the child.
Su Le smiled and teased the child. After holding him for a while, he returned him to Li Wei and reminded her, "The child's yellow eyes may be due to jaundice. He needs to get more sun exposure."
Li Wei was stunned and glanced at her child, "Is what my sister-in-law said true?"
Su Le nodded, "The doctor said so when my niece was born."
Li Wei nodded, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Li Zichen also stood up and walked to Su Le's side, and Su Le said goodbye to the two of them.
The two walked hand in hand towards Su Xiao's yard. Xu Jiaojiao and Su Xiao were about to go out, "Le Le!"
"Let's go and have dinner at our place. I bought some vegetables." Su Le said with a smile.
"Okay! I'm really impressed by your brother. There's nothing at home!" Xu Jiaojiao complained to Su Le.
Su Le also nodded, "Li Zichen's side is the same! This house is wasted on them!"
"Yes! I almost starved to death!" Xu Jiaojiao agreed.
Su Le and Xu Jiaojiao sat in the living room, crunching melon seeds.
Su Le said to Jiaojiao, "This room is deserted."
Xu Jiaojiao said, "I want to redecorate it."
Su Le thought for a moment and said, "I'll just go buy something to stick on the wall tomorrow."
Xu Jiaojiao also wanted to go, "I want to go too!"
Su Le said, "I can go by myself. You just wait at home. Make me some noodles."
Xu Jiaojiao had no choice but to nod.
Li Zichen and Su Xiao were cooking when they heard Su Le ask, "Where are the second and third brothers?"
Su Xiao replied loudly, "Still in the army."
Su Le said, "Brother! You might as well bring them both over to eat together!"
Su Xiao looked at Li Zichen, and when he saw Li Zichen nodded, he put down the pan, went out and drove towards the army.
Li Zichen's meal was ready, and Su Xiao also brought two people over.
"Second brother, third brother!" Su Le shouted
Su Bei and Sunan smiled and walked up to Su Le and gave him a big hug. Under Li Zichen's sharp gaze, they sat down in their seats.
Su Bei and Sunan said to Su Jiaojiao again, "Hello, sister-in-law!"
Xu Jiaojiao smiled and nodded. "Take out a red envelope from your pocket. It's our first meeting, so I didn't bring anything."
Su Bei and Sunan took it with a smile.
The six of them sat down at the table and started eating and chatting. It was then that the two of them learned about the big things that had happened in their family: first, their father lost his job, and then Su Le started his own business.
Su Bei glared at Su Le, "I warned you a long time ago! That woman is not a good person! You refused to listen!"
Sunan was also angry and said, "Once we leave, no one will stop you! Your family's wealth will be known to others!"
Su Le was so angry that she couldn't even raise her head. She didn't dare to refute. It was all the stupid things done by the original owner!
Su Xiao said. "Okay, okay, she's corrected her mistakes, and Dad is much happier now."
Li Zichen glared at them. Su Bei and Sunan swallowed their saliva and said, "Next time... don't tell anyone casually." Su Bei said with a stiff face.
Su Le nodded.
After dinner, Su Bei and Sunan will return to the army. They still have training tomorrow.
After Li Zichen and Su Xiao finished washing the things, Xu Jiaojiao and Su Xiao returned to their own courtyard with a smile.
Su Le and Xu Jiaojiao helped each other decorate their own courtyards. The two courtyards instantly became very warm. Li Zichen and Su Xiao couldn't wait to return to their own courtyards after training.
Su Le and Xu Jiaojiao met many military families in the military family compound and had a great time chatting with them.
Happy times are always short. Chinese New Year is coming tomorrow. After all, Su Le and Xu Jiaojiao are bosses, and there are so many orphans at home waiting for them to go back and celebrate the New Year.
Su Le had cooked a feast tonight, a rare occasion. In the evening, as Li Zichen and Su Xiao were returning to the courtyard, they caught a whiff of its aroma. They couldn't help but quicken their pace. By the time they opened the gate, Su Le and Xu Jiaojiao had already changed into their bright red New Year's attire.
The four of them sat at the table. Su Le said to Li Zichen and Su Xiao, "We have to go back early tomorrow morning. Even today is early."
Li Zichen said, "My elder brother and I have applied to the army today and will take a day off tomorrow. We will go back with you to celebrate the New Year. Wife, this is our first time celebrating the New Year together, how can we miss it?"
Su Xiao also looked at Xu Jiaojiao with sincerity.
They were both delighted. Su Le thought of his second and third brothers and felt a little sorry that they still couldn't be reunited as a family.
Li Zichen naturally knew his wife, so he stood up and opened the gate. Su Bei and Sunan walked in in casual clothes, "Hi!"
Su Le burst out laughing, "Thank you, Li Zichen!"
Su Bei and Sunan hadn't been home for a long time, so they wanted to go back after dinner. This made Su Le and Xu Jiaojiao excited, and they insisted on going back tonight too.
Su Xiao and Li Zichen had no choice but to accompany their wives, and the six of them had to squeeze into a military vehicle.
