Chapter 132 After giving birth to this one, let’s have a few more

Xia Juanjuan blushed a little, coughed twice and evaded the question, "No, I just said I would start preparing clothes for the children."

Lizhan didn't investigate further and took out some money from his pocket and handed it to her.

In that era, fifty- and one-hundred-yuan notes had not yet been issued, so they were all five-yuan notes, or ten-yuan notes, commonly known as big reunion notes. Judging from the thickness, they were at least several hundred yuan.

Xia Juanjuan was stunned for a moment and looked at him in astonishment: "Where did you get so much money?"

Most of Lizhan’s allowance should have been sent back home, so it is impossible for him to have so much money in his hands.

Li Zhan said with a smile: "You should keep the gifts from your brothers. You are pregnant now, and you will have many places to spend money in the future, so don't be stingy."

Xia Juanjuan heard this and took it. She counted and found that there were about 500 or 600 yuan. "Why is it so much? Is it really appropriate to accept it?"

Lizhan took off his coat and said, "The division commander gave twenty yuan, Lao Bai and other company commanders gave ten yuan, and the lower ones gave five yuan. It's not inappropriate. Except for the division commander and a few veterans who are married, the others are still single! We will return the gifts when they get married."

Xia Juanjuan thought about it and realized that it was right. Isn't that what it means to give gifts in return? So she put it away.

This way, when she goes back to build a house, she will have an explanation for where the money came from.

Li Zhan asked, "Are you hungry? I'll go to the cafeteria to get some food. I'll take you around the area this afternoon."

Having said that, he went out again with the stainless steel lunch box.

After a while, she came back with two large white steamed buns and two mixed-wheat steamed buns, as well as a dish of fried onion with bacon, a dish of fried tofu, a dish of stir-fried spinach, and a serving of sweet potato and rice porridge.

Li Zhan handed her the big white steamed bun and said with a smile, "Old Zhang in the cafeteria also knew that my wife was pregnant, so he specially reserved the white steamed buns and porridge for me, as well as these dishes. I am just benefiting from you."

Xia Juanjuan felt warm in her heart when she looked at these dishes.

She stayed there for two days and learned that there was little arable land here and more grassland for livestock. Beef and mutton were supplied at regular intervals and in fixed quantities, but vegetables and grains were often out of stock. People mainly ate steamed buns, and only had mixed flour buns on holidays.

This meal includes vegetables, meat, and steamed buns, and it is truly a thoughtful meal.

But this amount... I'm speechless. Are they treating her like a pig?

"You've made so much, how can you finish it all?"

Li Zhan glanced at her belly and said with a smile, "If you can't finish it, I'll be there for you. It's better to have more than less. I can't let my son go hungry!"

Xia Juanjuan glanced at him and said angrily, "What if she's a concubine?"

Li Zhan didn't hesitate and said with a smile: "A daughter is even better! When the time comes, I will give birth to a daughter as beautiful as you! I will love her more than my son!"

Xia Juanjuan curled her lips and continued to argue: "What if the girl is not pretty? Wouldn't it hurt you?"

Li Zhan was stunned for a moment and said, "That shouldn't be the case. After all, her father and mother are so good-looking..."

Xia Juanjuan chuckled. It was okay to praise her, but she was also quite narcissistic.

She blushed and lowered her head to eat the steamed bun, but she passed the test and there was no idea of ​​favoring boys over girls.

She originally thought that she would not be able to finish it, but Xia Juanjuan found that her appetite was indeed much better than before. She ate one and a half of the two large steamed buns and gave the remaining half to Li Zhan. As for the vegetables and porridge, she did not leave any.

If she continues to eat like this, she will probably become as fat as a wall...

After dinner, Li Zhan washed the lunch box and came back, then he pulled her aside and said with a smile, "Let's go, we just finished dinner, let's take a walk to digest it."

During the rest period of Lizhan, there was no specific work to do. They just had training in the morning, and then followed the arrangements of the commander of the camp and helped with horse patrols.

Li Zhan had just been promoted to a higher position, and now he had a lot more clerical work to do, as well as dealing with various official documents, telegrams, and letters, so he was busy all day long.

However, since his wife came to visit, Bai Zihan, several other company commanders, and Fu Beifa helped to deal with some of the matters, allowing him to spend more time with his wife.

This place is further north than Qingshui Village, so even though it is early spring, the grass has just started to turn green, with tender yellow and green grass buds covering the ground, and some rapidly growing wild flowers dotting it.

Xia Juanjuan stepped on the soft grass. The sky was high and the clouds were vast. The withered yellow gradually turned green. The vast grassland was full of vitality. She felt relaxed and happy. She couldn't help but take a few more breaths of the fresh air.

It was worth the trip. Otherwise, even if she spent money on traveling, she would not be able to reach such a grassland that still retains its original state and has not been polluted or damaged.

Li Zhan was afraid that she would fall, so he kept holding her hand and refused to let go. But since there was no one around, Xia Juanjuan just let him do it.

"The deer you shot that day was shot on that mountain, right?" Xia Juanjuan asked, pointing to a mountain in the distance covered with pine trees and snow on the upper half.

Li Zhan laughed and said, "Yes. On the way back, I saw a wild boar, but I thought it would be troublesome to carry it, so I let it go."

Xia Juanjuan's eyes lit up: "Shall we go to the mountains to hunt wild boars?"

Li Zhan: "..."

He had heard that Xia Juanjuan had caught a wild boar with a trap at home.

But can it be the same now as it was then?

"Juanjuan, do you still remember that you are pregnant?" Lizhan said helplessly.

Xia Juanjuan sighed in disappointment.

At this time, the sound of galloping horses' hooves and the neighing of horses came from the grass. After a while, Bai Zihan and several warriors came nearby. They slowed down their horses, saluted Lizhan first, and then looked at Xia Juanjuan with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, are you out for a walk with the boss?"

The other warrior also seemed to be a cheerful and straightforward type. Xia Juanjuan remembered that he was the one who asked Li Zhan if he had a girlfriend on the wedding night. I think his name was Wu Shao.

Wu Shao didn't give up and asked again: "Sister-in-law, our leader won't tell me, do you have any girls? If you do, please introduce them to me. I'm a really nice person..."

Xia Juanjuan opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

Li Zhan at the side said with a stern face: "Wu Shao, you little bastard! Your sister-in-law is unique in the world! Don't say that she doesn't have a girlfriend. Even if she does, she can't be as pretty as her!"

Wu Shao shrank his head and protested in a low voice: "Captain, if there is no such thing, then there is no such thing. Don't call me such a bad name! What little bastard? At least we are wolf cubs, right? There are no weak soldiers under a strong general! If we are bastards, then are you the captain of the rabbit?"

Xia Juanjuan imagined a rabbit wearing a military uniform and wearing the shoulder straps of a regiment commander...

It seemed quite cute, and I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

After Wu Shao finished his struggle, he didn't dare to stay and get beaten, so he waved his whip and ran away.

Li Zhan couldn't help but laugh and scold: "You are just a wolf cub with such courage!"

He asked Bai Zihan a few more questions if there was anything he needed to do after the patrol. Bai Zihan smiled and told him to stay with his wife, saying that with them around, even if the sky fell, it would not disturb their world of two.

After saying that, he and the others laughed and flew away.

Xia Juanjuan looked at the galloping horses and felt a little envious: "I want to learn how to ride a horse..."

That day was her first time riding a horse, which was a bit embarrassing, but now that she was mentally prepared, she wanted to try it again.

Lizhan had a headache, and immediately pulled his wife, whose mind was full of dangerous thoughts, into his arms, and said domineeringly: "No! Comrade Xia Juanjuan, you are pregnant! Even for the sake of our daughter, you should behave yourself in the remaining eight months, otherwise the daughter you give birth to in the future will definitely be a sneaky girl!"

Xia Juanjuan glanced at him and muttered, "Stingy! I won't ride if you don't let me. It's not like I don't have a horse..."

She must have raised a lot of horses in her space. After she gives birth to the baby, she will train them in the space by herself!

Li Zhan didn't hear what she muttered, so he asked, "What did you say?"

Xia Juanjuan coughed twice, and then remembered that he had just changed the words to "our daughter", so she smiled and evaded the question, "I say, how do you know it's a daughter? Maybe it's a boy..."

Li Zhan could not help but gnashing his teeth in anger. When he first said he was a son, she argued that he was a daughter. Now that he said he was a daughter, she came back to say he was a son...

It’s really...itchy!

Seeing that Li Zhan was stumped by her question, Xia Juanjuan couldn't help but blink and smile at him with a little pride.

The next second, the arms around her waist suddenly tightened, then the back of her head was grabbed, and then warm thin lips covered hers, and then he attacked domineeringly and conquered her.

“Hmm…”

Xia Juanjuan's hands tightly grasped Li Zhan's clothes on his chest, while looking around fearfully out of the corner of her eyes.

It's true that this place is vast and sparsely populated, but you can also see everything at a glance. You can clearly see what you are doing from dozens of meters away!

Fight this bastard! Don’t you know the time between the occasion and the time?

But she was soon kissed till her legs went limp, and her brain was dizzy and she couldn't care about anything, either because of shyness or lack of oxygen.

Li Zhan finally let her go, panting and chuckling, "See if you dare to choke me again in the future!"

Xia Juanjuan was panting and unable to speak for a while. Her face turned red to the back of her ears, and she punched him in the chest in anger.

Li Zhan leaned over and bit her lip again, then gently placed his hand on her belly and said with a smile, "As long as you give birth to me, I like sons or daughters! It would be best if they were twins, a dragon and a phoenix, so we don't have to argue anymore."

Xia Juanjuan rolled her eyes at him and said with a smile, "You're just wishful thinking! How can it be that easy to get pregnant with twins?"

Li Zhan laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if it's not. After this one is born, we can have a few more. It's the same."

Xia Juanjuan: “…”

Why did she feel like she was on a pirate ship?
