Chapter 81 The Dignity of Being a Father
The promotion orders for Cheng Jinghao and his colleagues were delivered half a month later.
Political Commissar Cao's guess was correct. He and Zhao Zhigang were both awarded first-class merit, Sheng Li and Xu Gang were awarded second-class merit, and the other officers were awarded third-class merit.
Cheng Jinghao was promoted to deputy brigade commander, Zhao Zhigang to brigade political commissar, Sheng Li and Xu Gang were promoted to deputy regiment commanders, and Xu Zhengqing and others were promoted to deputy battalion commanders.
Along with the promotion orders came transfer orders for several officers.
"Someone else is coming?" Cheng Jinghao felt that the promotion orders in his hand were not attractive at all.
"Yes." Commander Chen nodded.
"Your daughter-in-law is in advanced stage of pregnancy, so you have to stay with her. You can handle it yourself." He sat down on the chair.
"All preparations are placed in the Second Division, and you can transfer the ones you like when the time comes." Commander Chen said with a smile.
"I knew you were still in pain." Upon hearing this, Cheng Jinghao immediately stood up and rubbed his shoulders.
"Momo, you are in your advanced period, you should drive a car and park it in front of your house." Commander Chen patted his hand and said.
"Let's wait another two months. There's no rush now." The baby is more than five months old now, and they are still relieved by the reminder from the little water drop.
"It's up to you. Today the canteen is going to the city to buy pork. Ask them to bring you a few pounds. Go get it yourself later. Momo's nutrition must be kept up. I saw that her belly was quite big that day, but she still had no meat on her body." Commander Chen turned his head to look at him with a complaining look in his eyes.
"She doesn't gain weight even though she eats meat, and there's nothing we can do about it." Cheng Jinghao felt wronged.
The food they had was absolutely excellent, and they had a constant supply of nutritional supplements, but Lin Momo just didn't gain any weight at all.
"Yes, the corn in the greenhouse at home is ripe. I'll send some to you tomorrow."
"Okay, I haven't eaten corn for a long time." Commander Chen nodded with a smile.
"They are definitely all plump." said Cheng Jinghao.
"Let Aunt Six go to your house to learn next time, and plant corn in the military greenhouse. Momo will be busy next year."
The higher-ups are planning to develop the planting industry starting from a few villages near the Southwest Military Region, and have already decided that Lin Momo will be in charge.
"good."
"You should go back and accompany Momo."
"I'll take you home by the way." Cheng Jinghao helped him up.
"You're not old yet." Although he said that, Commander Chen's face was full of smiles.
As soon as Cheng Jinghao arrived home, Lin Momo came out from the main room and looked at him with a smile on her face.
"Our Deputy Brigade Commander Cheng is back."
"This is half of the medal of honor, and half of it is yours." Cheng Jinghao stepped forward and handed her the promotion order, the medal of honor, and the bonus.
"Congratulations, Mr. Cheng." Realize your own value in this era.
"I'll give it back to you, Mrs. Cheng." Cheng Jinghao hugged her in his arms and gave them their child back.
Zhao Zhigang promised to treat them to a meal, so the day after he received the promotion order, he invited Cheng Jinghao, Sheng Li, and Xu Gang's families to dinner together. He was worried that the children would make a fuss, so he decided to have dinner together.
Lin Momo went there as soon as she got home and brought a pound of White Rabbit milk candy for the children.
When she arrived, Liu Qian and Luo Yumei had already come to help.
Li He moved a chair for her and placed it in the kitchen. While they worked, Lin Momo sat and chatted with them.
"Is the rice almost ready to be harvested?" Liu Qian asked. She went to take a look at the rice yesterday and it seemed to be almost ripe.
"Well, it will be ready in another week." Lin Momo nodded.
"Will we continue to plant after the crops are ripe?" Luo Yumei asked.
"Yes, I will plant it for another season." She nodded.
"You will be the one giving the orders when the time comes, and we will take care of the rest." Li He said with a smile.
"Yes, remember to go over there and pick some corn later. Our corn is ripe and delicious." She cooked a few yesterday and they were delicious. Even Cheng Jinghao ate several in a row.
"Okay." They didn't hesitate.
"How's Su Hong doing lately?" Li He looked at Liu Qian.
"Very good. We've talked a few times. She spends most of her time at home taking care of the children. She is five years older than Captain He. I heard that they were introduced by their family. But it seems that they have a good relationship. Captain He also helps with housework at home."
"It was the first time I saw a family of three going to the supply and marketing cooperative together. It was a real experience." Luo Yumei nodded.
"Then you should rest assured." Lin Momo looked at Liu Qian with a smile. Don't worry about this, she is a difficult neighbor to get along with.
"Yes, she came to ask how to make a greenhouse that day, and she also wanted to make one." Liu Qian said with a smile.
While we were talking, the meal was ready and the men came back.
After dinner, everyone went to Lin Momo's greenhouse to pick some corn, and then went back to rest.
Lin Momo was lying on the kang. She was now five and a half months pregnant, and her belly was about the same size as other women who were seven months pregnant. Cheng Jinghao bought her a pregnancy pillow from the mall to support her belly, so she slept more comfortably.
"Why aren't you asleep?" She still had her eyes wide open when Cheng Jinghao entered the room.
"My stomach is moving so violently that I can't sleep." The fetus is moving very loudly at this moment.
He went forward and lay beside her, gently stroking her belly. "Be good and let mommy rest for a while."
The baby in my belly seemed to feel Daddy's big hand and was jumping in the place of his big hand.
"Come here, you dance even more vigorously." Lin Momo looked at him.
Cheng Jinghao gently patted both sides of his body according to the location of the fetal movement. "If you keep your mother awake, I'll beat you up when you come out."
Lin Momo rolled her eyes at him, but they didn't understand.
As a result, he didn't expect that his words would work, and the babies really quieted down.
"See, this is the majesty of being a father." Cheng Jinghao looked at her proudly.
"Haha, majestic." Lin Momo closed her eyes and didn't want to talk to this arrogant man.
He reached out and held her in his arms so that she could sleep more comfortably.
"The rice is almost ready to be harvested," she said with her eyes closed.
"Well, leave it to you, you don't have to worry about it." He kissed her forehead.
“There are no threshers in Tibet.”
"Leave it to you." Cheng Jinghao patted her back gently, and slowly Lin Momo began to breathe lightly.
She had been having a hard time since she was five months pregnant. Although she didn't have morning sickness or swollen feet, her belly was getting bigger and bigger, and she felt it was not right to sit or lie down.
Every night, Cheng Jinghao would boil some spiritual spring water for her to soak her feet so that she could sleep better.
Looking at her sleeping face, Cheng Jinghao sighed softly, wishing he could suffer this hardship for her.
After Lin Momo fell asleep, he got up and finished the housework. The chickens at home had grown up and would lay eggs after a while.
The maturity rate of the potted vegetables was too low, so Lin Momo had given up and planted many new varieties in the greenhouse.
After finishing his work, Cheng Jinghao entered the space again and used the rice cooker from the supermarket to stew a pot of chicken soup. The rice cooker was automatic, so Lin Momo could drink it when she woke up.
After finishing all this, he left her a note and went out for training.
