But Mobao was not so easy to coax. He crawled around and jumped up and down on the kang and didn't look like he wanted to sleep at all.
Jiang Mengxue yawned and really wanted to pull him over and give him a good beating.
In the end, there was no choice but to hold the man in his arms and teach him how to speak.
"Call me mom."
"ah."
"Mo."
"Wipe it on."
"Then call dad, dad, dad."
"Ba, Ba."
"Yes, Dad."
"Baaaa, Baaaa."
What I learned was a mess and I couldn’t understand a word of it.
Jiang Mengxue had heard that some children started walking late and some started talking late.
Mobao seems to be a late learner. He is over one year old and is unwilling to learn even some simple pronunciations.
But he learned to walk quite quickly. Although he cannot walk very steadily now, he has no problem walking slowly with support.
Sometimes when I'm crawling around by myself, I can stand up suddenly and take a few steps.
In a few months, when winter comes and you have to wear more clothes and pants, it will be really difficult to learn to walk.
I guess I'll be able to run and jump by next summer.
After playing with him for a while, he finally coaxed the little ancestor to sleep. Jiang Mengxue also took out the cans from the pot, tightened them, and turned them upside down. When they were cold, she could put them in the cupboard and eat them slowly.
She had been feeling extremely tired recently even without doing anything, and she even thought she was pregnant.
But the two of them had been taking precautions, and her period was still a few days away, so she couldn't feel anything when she took her pulse.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m too nervous, but every time I take my pulse, I feel it’s beating wildly.
I simply stopped caring about it. I'll know after a while whether there is any.
Jiang Mengxue secretly didn't want to have another child, but she also clearly felt that the elders in her family wanted to have more children.
She also understood this idea. Her second uncle and second aunt had no children, and Gu Qingbei was the only one in the family.
Apart from my uncle's family, the family is not very prosperous.
Er Niang also said that she would help take care of any number of children they had in the future.
She was already retired and at home at that time, and had nothing to do if she didn't help the young people take care of the children.
And she also likes children. When she was young, she only had her daughter who died young in her heart. Later, she had Gu Qingbei to accompany her.
Now that she finally holds her grandson in her arms, she wishes she could have five, six, seven or eight grandchildren surrounding her.
But this was just something that came up during a casual chat, and Jiang Mengxue never said that she didn't want to have too many thoughts.
She thought about it carefully and decided that having only one child was not a good idea, as only children were rare in this era.
When Mobao grew up, other people had many brothers and sisters, but he was all alone.
If Mobao asks her to have a brother or sister in ten years, she will feel that she can't do it anymore. It's better to have a baby while Mobao is still young so that the two can grow up together.
She was just worried that she would inevitably favor Mobao more because he was born first, or that the younger one would need more care, so she would pay more attention to him.
The whole family needs to be treated equally, and this is not something that can be accomplished by one person alone.
But let's wait until this happens before we talk about it. It's too early to say anything now.
When Gu Qingbei came back in the evening, he brought back good news, that is, the army’s supply and marketing cooperative was about to open.
The address is not far from the family compound, where a few new houses have been built.
The list of salesmen has also been finalized.
“They are all military wives from our family compound, and the wives of several regimental commanders.
This job is a position that everyone wants to compete for, and no one can say anything if it is given to the wives of several group leaders.
In addition, the wives of the army commander and several division commanders are old and not living in the family compound, and you don’t want to work for the time being.
Especially since you're idle at home, no one can say anything. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense that you didn't get any, but it went to the families of several group leaders."
No matter what your status is, the higher the position of a man in the army, the same status you have among the military wives.
If these jobs were assigned to the wives of the battalion commander and deputy battalion commander, I wonder if anyone would object to this.
However, Jiang Mengxue remembered that Lin Jianhua wanted her to work at the health center today.
Gu Qingbei didn't react much after hearing this.
"Your information is already in the army. When assigning you a job, they would have asked for your opinion first. Only if you expressed your intention to work would the army leaders proceed. But since you refused, they probably didn't report the matter to the health center.
And your situation is quite special. The job of other military wives is just an optional one, but the job of a doctor, especially a military doctor, is not so easy.
There are also various procedures and documents to prepare, which is no longer a trivial matter, so it's normal for the higher-ups to want to save some trouble, or to want to deal with the affairs of other military wives first before dealing with your work. "
Gu Qingbei is only responsible for combat and training. Logistics matters are not his responsibility. These matters have always been the responsibility of Lu Zhengming.
Lu Zhengming has been so busy lately that he comes back even later than him, so he probably can't take care of these things.
"What do you think? If you want to work, calligraphy is not a problem. We can find idle family members in the family compound to help take care of it, and we'll just pay them.
I called my second uncle a few days ago, and he said that he and my second mother will come over next month. He is worried that it will be inconvenient to take the train in the cold winter, so it would be better for him to come earlier to help us take care of the children. Otherwise, there will be so much work in winter that we will be too busy to handle it.
Jiang Mengxue just wanted to take one step at a time.
"It's already late. Hiring someone to look after your children isn't like hiring a nanny. What if someone catches you and reports you? It's not time yet."
Head Nurse Lin only mentioned it briefly today, so she might not remember it anymore. It will be fine once Second Uncle and Second Aunt arrive."
If he were at Gu Zhenhai's level, he wouldn't have to worry about anything, the country would arrange everything in his life.
Guards, nannies and special cars are not a big deal, but Gu Qingbei is only the brigade commander, and doing such things can easily give people a handle on him.
"Guan Dapeng, you know me. My other guard is Xie Yu'an. He's just been assigned here. You can get to know him next time you come to my house."
Jiang Mengxue didn't quite understand and asked in confusion, "Why is there another guard? Are you qualified to have two guards at your current level?"
"Yes, but after the previous guard was transferred, I went on a series of missions, including two patrols with the team, and then went home to visit my family, so the guard's work was delayed.
Guan Dapeng is a soldier with high combat power, while Xie Yu'an is more careful. On the surface, they are responsible for my safety, but in fact, they also do some things in my life.
The supply and marketing cooperative will open soon, and I plan to invite them to my house for dinner so they can get familiar with the place.
I was wondering if you should invite those military wives you usually hang out with over as well. If so, I'll go notify Captain Zhang and the others."
