As the weather got warmer, the coal stove in the house was moved outside. Old Mrs. Xia and Ji's mother were cooking.
Ji Changqing carried Xiaobao around the room. He had now mastered the skill of holding a baby very skillfully. Xiaobao had just finished feeding, rubbed his eyes with his little fists, yawned, and fell asleep in a short while.
He gently placed the child on the bed, then looked at Xihe: "Do you need help?"
Xihe said in a muffled voice: "No!"
Holding my breath, I buttoned my shirt hard, and snapped it open.
Xihe: “…”
Ji Changqing suppressed his laughter, clenched his fist and coughed lightly: "I'll take you to buy a new one tomorrow."
Xihe angrily took off his pants and threw them on the bed, almost crying with anger. After giving birth to a baby, he actually gained weight!
She doesn't even dare to look in the mirror now, for fear of being ugly.
Glancing at him, she asked, "Do you dislike me?"
She clenched her fist quietly. If he dared to say "yes", she would let him know why the flowers were so red!
Ji Changqing immediately shook his head: "I don't mind."
Xihe didn't believe it.
Ji Changqing glanced outside the room and said, "I think you look good now."
After saying this, he lowered his eyes, his ears flushed.
Xihe blinked: "Really?"
Ji Changqing: "Well, it's better to be a little fatter." It feels good.
Xihe: “…”
For some reason, I understood what he hadn't finished saying.
For a moment, her cheeks turned red.
After Ji Changqing came back and Xihe finished her confinement, Old Mrs. Xia planned to leave.
Xihe tried her best to keep her, as she still wanted to provide for the old lady in her old age, and what would she do if she passed away?
"We still have land at home. Your father and two uncles have never been in charge of the family. They need me to look after everything. If I don't go back, there will definitely be trouble!"
"Girl, just live a good life here with Changqing. Your mother-in-law is kind and Changqing also takes care of the family. I am relieved."
Xihe understood that Old Mrs. Xia felt that the Xia family could not do without her and she had to worry about them all the time.
She was a little reluctant: "Grandma, are you really not going to stay? Changqing has made great contributions and can move to a bigger house. You will have your own room in the future, and there will be a vegetable garden in the yard. You can do whatever you want."
There was only one room before, and both Old Mrs. Xia and Ji's mother slept on the floor.
After Ji Changqing came back, he could only temporarily stay at a comrade's house, and his living conditions were very difficult.
Fortunately, he made a great contribution this time and can apply for a bigger house, so everyone will have their own room in the future.
There is no way. The conditions are difficult now, supplies are scarce, and nothing is easy.
Old Lady Xia clapped her hands and laughed, "Changqing is really promising. You will enjoy a happy life in the future! But I still have to go back. Your father and uncle are incompetent. I will be anxious if I stay out here for one more day."
Xihe was suddenly helpless. What could he do now that things had come to this?
We could only send the old lady off respectfully.
Before leaving, Xihe took Old Lady Xia to the city for a shopping spree and bought a lot of food, drinks and daily necessities, making sure that Old Lady Xia would return home in glory.
Old Mrs. Xia was so distressed that her blood was dripping from her eyes, but her granddaughter and son-in-law refused to stop her.
After packing up their things, the family sent the old lady to the train and only felt relieved after watching the train go away.
"Don't worry, Changye will take good care of grandma."
Xihe nodded, and the family went home with the child.
On the way, Ji's mother talked about Ji Changye. He came to pick up Old Lady Xia on his own initiative, and to visit his little nephew, and to tell Ji's mother the good news that his wife had given birth to a girl.
"Humph, a little girl really makes him happy."
When Ji's mother thought of Xia Luo, she felt upset.
Xihe's eyes flashed, and he asked Gouzi, "What was Xia Luo's mood at that time?"
Gou Zi gloated: "She was so angry that she pretended to be nice in front of Ji Changye. When Ji Changye was not around, she didn't care whether the child cried, peed or pooped."
Xihe was stunned: "What does she want?"
Although Ji Changye is childish and has a bad mouth, he is quite nice to her. Why is he like this again?
Gouzi shrugged: "Maybe she thinks this child brings bad luck. After all, she only gave birth to two daughters in her previous life."
Xihe: ...Okay.
After returning home, within two days, the house allocated to them was delivered.
On the east side of the family compound, there is a long row of newly built two-story buildings, where other family members move in at the same time as them.
They live in a side unit on the second floor, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, and a large balcony where they can plant flowers and grass.
Ji Changqing's vacation had not yet ended, so he took advantage of the time to pack up and start moving. He called two of his soldiers over and finished the move in just two days.
Aunt Pang and her family also moved in, living very close to them, so they can visit each other often in the future.
Xihe was very satisfied with the new home. Ji Changqing even ordered a new set of furniture, and Ji's mother sewed a few new quilts. Aunt Pang came to visit and kept praising the home.
The move was only complete after we invited familiar neighbors to a home-warming dinner.
At night, the two of them lay in bed, feeling somewhat excited, as this meant that things were getting better and better for them.
"Xiao He."
"Um?"
Not hearing any answer, Xihe turned around.
Her lips brushed against the man's stubbled chin, and a hand reached into his chest from the side.
Xihe: “…”
Ji Changqing turned over, raised his hand to hold her wrist, slowly slid it up, interlocked his fingers with hers, and then decisively pressed it on the quilt.
…
At night, Xihe felt dizzy and in a trance, someone wiped his sticky body with a wet towel and he fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Ji Changqing got up, dressed himself, tucked in the quilt for Xihe, and then turned to leave. After a while, he came in holding a baby and put it in her arms.
Xihe was dazed and subconsciously hugged the baby: "Be good~"
The child tried hard and Xihe finally woke up.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Ji Changqing standing by the bed, staring at his son intently.
She subconsciously lowered her head and didn't miss the mottled bite marks on it.
Xihe: “…”
She glared at him in shame and anger, then immediately covered herself with the quilt.
Ji Changqing remained calm: "Don't hold it in."
Xihe wanted to puke in his face. What a dishonest guy, and he still had the nerve to talk like that!
All day long, Xihe was secretive and hesitant when feeding her son, which made Ji's mother confused and asked her what was wrong.
Xihe's face was burning with anxiety, and he could only make up excuses to get away with it.
At night, Ji Changqing wanted to repeat his old trick, but Xihe slapped him away: "You are shameless, but I still want more!"
Ji Changqing had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, holding her legs and leaning over...
Xihe wanted to cover his face, what a bastard!
Xihe has never been the kind of person who would swallow his anger.
Naturally, she wasn't going to let Zhou Qing go for what she had done in the maternity room. This woman clearly wanted to kill her and her son!
On the day of the baby's full moon banquet, she specially invited her over. When Zhou Qing came in, she held her hand affectionately, her face full of gratitude: "Thank you, Nurse Zhou. If you hadn't encouraged me in the delivery room, telling me to live and give birth to the baby even for Changqing, I'm afraid I would be in great danger."
Swish, Bai Lan looked at Zhou Qing in disbelief.
