Ever since Captain Lu found out that his young wife was pregnant, he kept his mouth shut all the way back. Even in the car, he always gazed at his wife's belly with tender eyes. Jiang Chunzao felt a little jealous when he saw the tender look in the old father's eyes. He thought to himself that other people forget their mothers after they get a wife, but why is it that in this case, Lu Lin has forgotten his wife after he gets a child?
Because he was a little jealous, Jiang Chunzao didn't treat Captain Lu well along the way.
However, Captain Lu was a thoughtful man. When he saw his wife pouting and not looking at him in the car, and not smiling when talking to him as before, he knew why after thinking about it.
No one knew what Lu Lin said to his young wife on the way. Jiang Chunzao, who was not very happy when getting on the car, was smiling again when they got home. This change made Xiao Zhao, who was driving, sigh. It was still the battalion commander who knew how to make his sister-in-law happy.
When the couple went to the military hospital, they left their two children, Shitou and Jasmine, at Sister-in-law Zhao's house and asked Sister-in-law Zhao to help take care of them.
Mrs. Zhao liked the two kids very much, so she agreed immediately. At this moment, Shitou and Jasmine were at Mrs. Zhao's house. After eating two pieces of fruit candies, they sat in the yard, looking in the direction of the military hospital, holding their little faces and waiting for their parents to come back.
Mrs. Zhao was fetching water to wash clothes in the yard while her two little brats were jumping around like monkeys. She yelled in anger, but then she saw that the two kids from Chunzao's family were so well-behaved and she felt jealous.
When Mrs. Zhao finished washing the clothes and was hanging them in the yard, she heard the sound of cars on the mountain road. She looked up and saw a jeep passing by the door of her house and stopped at the door of Lu Lin's house. She thought that it must be Chunzao and his wife coming home. She was thinking of calling the two children, but when Mrs. Zhao turned around, two little figures flashed before her eyes. When she looked closely, she found that it was Shitou who was holding little Moli. They saw their parents coming back and ran out at their legs.
When Zhao's wife saw this, she was so angry that she laughed:
"These two kids really can't live without their parents!"
After muttering a few words, Mrs. Zhao put down her work, picked up a dozen eggs from the chicken coop, and went to Lu's house with the basket.
In the Lu family's courtyard, the two kids, who learned from their father that their mother was pregnant, happily leaned in their mother's arms, staring at Jiang Chunzao's belly with their big eyes.
"Mom, do you really have a baby?"
Little Jasmine blinked her big eyes and spoke in a baby voice.
Before Jiang Chunzao could answer, Mrs. Zhao, who had just pushed the door open, happened to hear these words and immediately said happily:
"Oh, is this true? Chunzao, are you really pregnant?"
Jiang Chunzao felt a little hot on his face and was too embarrassed to nod. Mrs. Zhao called out twice in surprise and joked to Lu Lin:
"Xiao Lu must be so happy right now!"
Who said it wasn't? Jiang Chunzao glanced at Lu Lin who was grinning foolishly on the side and muttered that he was like a big fool. The big fool Lu Lin grinned foolishly for a while and then returned to his previous serious look. He watched Sister Zhao talking incessantly to his young wife about pregnancy. He didn't say a word and went to work in the yard alone.
Mrs. Zhao gave Jiang Chunzao some instructions, left the eggs she had brought, and went back with the basket. When she was about to leave, she saw the piles of firewood in the yard, the water tanks full of water, and Lu Lin working in the vegetable garden. She couldn't help but sigh again. Little Lu loved his wife very much and was really considerate.
Jiang Chunzao felt very happy after hearing this.
Because his young wife was pregnant, Lu Lin sent a telegram to Grandma Jiang's family in his hometown early in the morning. When Grandma Jiang learned that her daughter was pregnant, she was happy and missed her so much that she could not sit still at home. She went to the county town to buy some soft fabrics and insisted on making some small clothes for her unborn grandson.
Back in the military district, Jiang Chunzao asked his sister-in-law Zhao to help him buy some cloth. He then learned from her sisters-in-law how to make new clothes for his unborn child and his two children at home.
The baby in her belly wouldn't be needed for a while, so Jiang Chunzao wanted to make new clothes for Shitou and Moli first. To be honest, their family had been in the military region for a long time, but they hadn't made new clothes for the children yet.
In the evening, Lu Lin came back from the army and saw his young wife doing needlework in the candlelight. The flickering candlelight reflected the softness of his wife's face, which softened his heart.
After Lu Lin finished washing, he went to bed, held his wife in his arms, kissed her forehead and said:
"It's late, go to bed."
Jiang Chunzao stretched his sore shoulders and put down his work:
"It's getting colder these days. We have to make clothes quickly. The children are waiting to wear new clothes."
Although she said this, Jiang Chunzao was tired after all. She fell asleep soon after lying down. In the flickering candlelight, Lu Lin stared at his wife's peaceful sleeping face. It was a long time before he blew out the light and fell asleep.
The next day, Jiang Chunzao got up from the kang, yawned, and walked out of the house. He looked at the warm food on the table in the main room. The two children were sitting on the bench, eating boiled eggs obediently.
Jiang Chunzao walked around the house and didn't look at Lu Lin. Feeling strange, he sat at the dining table and asked the two kids:
"Where's Dad?"
"Dad is on the roof."
Stone answered obediently while eating a boiled egg.
What?
On the roof? What was Lu Lin doing on the roof so early in the morning?
Jiang Chunzao, full of questions, stopped eating his meal, ran to the yard, looked at the roof, and immediately laughed like a pig.
Captain Lu, who was clumsily sewing clothes on the roof: ......
Days passed one by one, autumn turned into winter, and the cold wind blew against the doors and windows. One morning, Jiang Chunzao got up from the kang with a bulging belly and heard the two kids jumping in the yard.
"It's snowing, it's snowing, mommy, it's snowing!"
With the arrival of the first snow this winter, the life of Jiang Chunzao's family in the military area has become more and more warm. Last autumn, Xiao Shitou, who turned seven, went to the military area primary school, and Xiao Moli is almost four years old. While Jiang Chunzao does housework at home every day, he also starts to tutor the two children.
Although Lu Lin was busy in the army, he had to go home to spend time with his wife and children no matter how late it was every night. Whenever the sisters-in-law in the military district saw Lu Lin washing clothes and cooking at home, they would express their envy and complain to their husbands when they got home.
The officers in the military district had a headache when they heard the name Lu Lin. The news that Captain Lu loved his wife spread throughout the military district. When Fang Man heard it, she was so angry!
When Fang Man heard that Jiang Chunzao was pregnant, she was still thinking about watching the show. She knew that the little Shitou in Lu Lin's family was not his biological child but an adopted child. Jiang Chunzao had given birth to a girl before, so she had to be nice to the little Shitou. Now that Jiang Chunzao was pregnant again, she didn't know how she would treat Shitou, a child who was not her biological child.
Fang Man has always firmly believed that Jiang Chunzao is not a good person and her true colors will definitely be revealed. If Brother Lu sees her ugly appearance, he might divorce this woman.
Then, will she have a chance to get promoted?
Fang Man felt very happy whenever she thought of this incident. She had been waiting eagerly at home, but she never expected to receive such news. She was so angry that she cursed God for being blind!
~
Jiang Chunzao didn't care whether God was blind or not. She didn't treat the two kids at home differently just because she was pregnant. In her heart, Shitou Moli and the baby in her belly were both her own children, both her big babies, and she loved them equally. There was no such thing as biological or not.
What those people outside are saying is bullshit!
During dinner at night, Jiang Chunzao heard the two kids gathered together again, talking about whether they wanted a little brother or a little sister. Shitou said he wanted a little brother, and Moli retorted in a baby voice that she wanted a little sister, who could take a bath with her, sleep with her, and even braid her hair together.
Little Stone thought about it and said that his little brother could take a bath and sleep with them, and when his little brother grew up, he could also braid his hair.
Jiang Chunzao heard the two kids' childish chatter and giggled for a long time with her hand covering her mouth. When Captain Lu came home in the evening, she imitated their chatter. Captain Lu just smiled but said nothing.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Chunzao smiled like a wolf grandmother and asked Captain Lu whether he wanted a little brother or a little sister. Captain Lu looked at his wife's cunning expression and smiled tenderly:
"As long as they are our children, I like them all."
Jiang Chunzao was very dissatisfied with Captain Lu's official answer. She acted like a tigress again and kicked him off the bed and made him lie on the floor.
The next day, an angry Jiang Chunzao complained to Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Fang who came to visit, saying that the man in the family was not honest. He was obviously thinking about his son, but he said that it didn't matter whether it was a boy or a girl.
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Fang were both equally angry, especially Mrs. Fang, who was also pregnant. She said that the baby in her belly moved twice last night, and Mrs. Fang said that judging from the movement, her daughter-in-law must be carrying a grandson. When Captain Fang heard this, he was so happy.
Mrs. Zhao also said that these men are all dogs, saying one thing and thinking another. After all, women go through the hard work of giving birth to babies, isn’t it just to give birth to children to these dogs?
Otherwise, who would be willing to endure such great pain to get pregnant and give birth to a baby?
Jiang Chunzao and Mrs. Fang nodded repeatedly. As they were talking, they heard the sound of a jeep outside. Lu Lin had just returned from the army. When he pushed the door open, he heard his wife's angry voice:
"That's right, all men in the world are dogs!"
Dog man Lu Lin: ...
Speaking of this matter, Jiang Chunzao really wronged Captain Lu. Speaking of the matter of his wife giving birth to a boy or a girl, Lu Lin didn't care whether the baby in his wife's belly was a boy or a girl. The reason why he was so happy was that when his wife gave birth to Jasmine, he had been in the army and was not by his wife's side, nor did he see his daughter's birth with his own eyes.
Because of this, he always felt guilty towards his wife and daughter. This time his wife was pregnant again, and he thought he could make up for his previous regrets. He was also happy that he could finally be with his family and protect them.
However, Jiang Chunzao had no idea what Captain Lu was thinking.
That night, Jiang Chunzao had a dream. In the dream, a little Lu Lin with pigtails came over to her and called her "Mom" in a baby voice, which scared her awake.
