Hu Tao's expression changed. "You just promised me you'd pay attention to the child's diet and hygiene, and you've already forgotten?"
Jiang Xuan pulled Hu Tao outside and whispered, "Auntie, I haven't forgotten what I said. It's just that today is a special day. I promised Diandian. If Diandian doesn't get an ice cream today, he will definitely be hostile towards me in the future and think that I didn't keep my word."
“I know you’re in pain, and I promise you I will never feed him anything unhygienic again.”
Lu Xiaomei also came out and said, "Auntie, it's okay to eat it once. I saw that all the kids in the family compound eat it. Besides, Diandian has always disliked Xuanxuan. Their relationship has finally eased up a bit this time, so you might as well just turn a blind eye."
Hu Tao sighed and said, "I'm not an unreasonable person, but Dian Dian and Fan Xing are twins. Their health is not as good as other children, and I'm afraid they will get hurt."
"Auntie, I know. It'll only be once. I promise nothing will happen."
Hu Tao didn't say anything more.
Jiang Xuan quickly went out and bought Dian Dian a green popsicle.
The little guy ate very happily, and even after finishing, he was still not satisfied, chewing on the stick and smacking it several times.
But to Jiang Xuan's surprise, this popsicle put her in the eye of the storm.
Because she hadn't seen her grandmother for a while, Fanxing didn't want her to go back. So, that night, Hutao stayed in the courtyard and shared a room with Fanxing.
Jiang Xuan was so excited about getting her marriage certificate tomorrow that she couldn't sleep, so she turned on the fan and hurriedly made clothes under the lamp.
She wanted to make herself a red dress and Lu Shengye a white shirt.
After they get their marriage certificate tomorrow, they'll go to a photo studio to take a set of photos together as a memento.
Just thinking about it makes her feel quite happy.
Lu Shengye wasn't actually asleep; he was lying in bed thinking.
He originally planned to get the marriage certificate after returning from this mission, but in the afternoon Zheng Guoliang called him over and said that since the marriage application had been approved, he should take the honeymoon first, and he would arrange for Fu Chang'an to go on the mission.
Fu Chang'an was about the same age as him and was also very capable. The two had been secretly competing with each other.
Lu Shengye felt a little unhappy.
This mission is very important; if I succeed, I will definitely be promoted.
"Get the marriage certificate as soon as possible, so that it won't be taken advantage of by malicious people."
These are Zheng Guoliang's original words.
Zheng Guoliang explained that this is why the marriage application was approved so quickly.
Lu Shengye turned over.
Jiang Xuan turned around and saw Lu Shengye with his eyes open. "Was the sewing machine too loud and woke you up?"
Lu Shengye shook his head. "No, it's late. You should go to sleep early."
“That’s perfect,” Jiang Xuan said, standing up with a blush on her face. “I ate two popsicles today and drank a lot of water tonight. Could you come with me to the restroom?”
"good."
Lu Shengye got up, found a flashlight, grabbed a coat, and followed Jiang Xuan out the door.
It was past 2 a.m., and the air was a bit chilly. As soon as Jiang Xuan stepped outside, she shivered.
Lu Shengye draped his coat over her shoulders.
"That old hag next door is too much. She locks the toilet and won't let anyone use it. I didn't confront her today because my aunt was there, but I'm going to give her a good talking to tomorrow."
"If no one participated, it would be fine, but the problem is she only prevents women from participating. Is this old woman crazy?"
Lu Shengye was also speechless and said, "Then I'll go ask tomorrow."
"No need, you don't need to get involved in this kind of thing. I can handle it."
On the way back, Jiang Xuan said, "Let's head out first thing tomorrow morning and try to be the first newlyweds of the day. Oh, by the way, do you want me to make you another tie?"
Lu Shengye smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it."
"Then I'll make you a red one, and I'll make myself a red headband too. It'll definitely look good in photos."
As she spoke, Jiang Xuan casually took Lu Shengye's hand.
Lu Shengye stiffened for a moment, but this time he didn't dodge.

As soon as they entered their yard, they heard what sounded like Dian Dian crying.
Jiang Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly let go of his hand and ran into the house.
Lu Shengye followed closely behind.
Inside the room, Dian Dian was curled up in a ball, clutching her stomach. Her little face was pale, and her hair was soaked with sweat.
He cried out in pain, "Grandma, my stomach hurts so much."
With red eyes, Hu Tao said, "Grandma will rub it for you."
She massaged Dian Dian's belly with her right hand and wiped his sweat with a towel in her left.
"Dian Dian, what's wrong?" Lu Shengye strode over and squatted down by the bed.
Lu Diandian cried and said, "Daddy, my stomach hurts."
Jiang Xuan was very nervous. She went over and grabbed Dian Dian's little hand, her voice trembling, "Dian Dian, don't scare me."
Seeing them come in, Hu Tao said with displeasure, "What were you doing in the middle of the night when the baby is in so much pain?"
Jiang Xuan said, "Auntie, it's too dark outside, so I asked Sheng Ye to accompany me to the toilet."
She needs someone to accompany her to the toilet; Hu Tao has never seen such a delicate person before!
She said irritably, "I told you a thousand times today that Dian Dian has a weak stomach and can't eat cold food, but you wouldn't listen and insisted on making him eat popsicles. Look how much pain the baby is in now!"
Lu Shengye glanced at Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan felt a pang of guilt.
She truly regretted it.
She never expected DouDou to be so fragile.
If she had known this would happen, even if Dian Dian blamed her for not keeping her word, she wouldn't have bought that popsicle.
"I'll go get Dian Dian a cup of hot water to see if it will help."
Jiang Xuan walked out of the house, and Zhang Guiying came out of their house wearing a coat.
"It's the middle of the night, can you please keep an eye on your child? The noise is keeping everyone awake."
The room was poorly soundproofed, so Jiang Xuan said, "I'm sorry, ma'am, my child has a stomachache. I'm sorry to bother you."
Zhang Guiying snorted and went inside.
Jiang Xuan poured a glass of water into an enamel mug, and just as she reached the door, she heard Hu Tao talking.
"Xiao Ye, how about I take Dian Dian and Fan Xing with me? The kindergarten in the petrochemical plant's residential compound is just as good as this one. She doesn't know how to take care of children at all. I don't feel comfortable leaving the children here."
Lu Shengye said, "Auntie, she is young and inexperienced, but she didn't do it on purpose. She is actually very good to the children."
Jiang Xuan felt a surge of warmth in her heart; as long as he believed in her, that was enough.
Dian Dian drank some hot water, but the pain still didn't subside. She was sweating profusely and looked very weak.
Jiang Xuan was extremely anxious and said, "Shengye, why don't we take Dian Dian to the hospital for a check-up? I feel it's not as simple as just eating raw or cold food."
"Go get some money, then we'll go."
Jiang Xuan took twenty yuan, and Lu Shengye carried Dian Dian as they headed towards the military hospital.
The wind was blowing at night, and because she had walked too fast, Jiang Xuan felt hot all over and her mouth was dry. At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind: Diandian must not be hurt.
