Qi Xi took good care of herself during her pregnancy and gave birth smoothly, just before the New Year. The obstetricians in the hospital told Shen Yipei that her grandson loved his mother very much and had recovered very well. He only needed to stay in the hospital for one night before going home, as there were several doctors at home.
After Shen Yipei finished her work, she went to the delivery room to check on her daughter-in-law. Two or three hours after leaving the delivery room, she was able to sit and chat and laugh with her family, and she could eat. It really shows how fast young people recover!
"Xiaoxi, Mommy came to ask you, how do you feel about your health?"
Qi Xi felt it carefully and said honestly, "Mom, to be honest, I don't feel anything. I'm just a little uncomfortable with the lack of a piece of meat in my belly."
After these words were spoken, Liu Manxue and the others in the ward were extremely envious.
Shen Yipei was relieved when she heard her daughter-in-law say this, "Then we will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, so we can celebrate the New Year at home."
"Yeah, okay, Mom." Who would want to stay in the hospital when they can go home for the New Year? Of course Qi Xi nodded in agreement.
There was a new child in the family, but he slept all day long. Cao Siheng and Chen Zixuan had experienced this twice before, so they were not so curious about this little brother. When they first got home, they went into the house to take a look, and then went back to eating, playing and doing their own things.
Shen Anning worked her last shift at the hospital this year and was the busiest person in the family. When she got home on the morning of the 31st, she met Peng Zhe as soon as she entered the door and even joked with him for a few words.
During the week leading up to the Chinese New Year, the children in the family had only one feeling: their mother was really busy these days, while their father took a vacation at home early, woke them up early every morning, and arranged a lot of things for them to do during the day.
Several children were in great pain.
Shen Anning worked a night shift and fell asleep as soon as she got home. Several patients came to the emergency room that night. The hospital became busier as the year drew to a close, so the doctors on duty were transferred there and were busy in the second half of the night. When they were handing over their shifts, they were so tired that they didn't even want to eat.
Because they had to go to the military base on New Year's Eve, this year's family's New Year's Eve dinner was eaten at noon. Shen Anning took a nap. When she opened her eyes, she looked at the man sitting by the bed reading a book, rubbed her eyes, and asked, "What time is it?"
Cao Jingheng turned around and pinched the quilt for his wife, then stood up and poured a glass of warm water. "It's almost eleven o'clock, and the meal isn't ready yet. You can still sleep a little longer. Drink some water first."
"It's time to get up. Where are the children? I haven't heard any movement from them."
"I went out with An Yu to buy firecrackers, a bunch of naughty boys." What Cao Jingheng didn't dare to say was that the twins and the children in the alley picked up firecrackers, and the firecrackers in their cotton-padded jackets exploded. Fortunately, they were wearing thick clothes, otherwise they would definitely be injured.
After washing up, Shen Anning put on the white down jacket that Cao Jingheng had just bought for her this year. The knee-length waist design made her look like a student who had just graduated from college.
In the main room, Tangyuan sat on Grandpa Cao's lap and cried, saying that he was almost scared to death just now, which made the old man kiss and pat his head. He also planned to come back at night and go out along the alley to call out to his soul.
Seeing his parents come in, and thinking of the two slaps on the butt from his father just now, Tangyuan didn't dare to act coquettishly anymore. He struggled to get off the ground and didn't even have the courage to look at his parents.
When Ana Shen saw the look on her youngest son’s face, she knew that the kid must have gotten into trouble.
"Hey, what's wrong? Did Tangyuan Hero encounter any difficulties? Why are you crying?"
The little guy, who had not intended to say anything, heard his mother say that. He walked over crookedly, lay on Shen An Ning's legs, and said shyly: "Mom, don't be angry."
"Hmm? Did you make a mistake?"
"No, I just found a firecracker and it exploded in my clothes."
After lifting the little man's clothes and taking a look, there were no signs of injury on his body. Even though he wanted to get angry, Shen An Ning knew that the child must have been frightened today, so he softened his tone and said, "Then you have to be more careful next time, okay? And you can't be so playful. Children can easily get hurt when playing with firecrackers. Think about it, what if that firecracker exploded in your hand today? What if your finger was blown off?"
"Mom, I was wrong. I won't pick it up again."
After having the New Year's Eve dinner at home, the men did not drink any alcohol. At around three o'clock, the whole family drove to the base. However, Peng Zhe stayed to accompany his wife and children. It was so cold that it was definitely not easy for the mother and son to go out.
This year, because the large-scale military downsizing is coming to an end, the army held a special New Year's Eve dinner and invited many former generals and soldiers to return to the army to reminisce about their military years together.
Grandpa Shen and Cao Jingheng were naturally among the invited guests, and there were also many of Cao Jingheng's former comrades in the garrison in Kyoto, so the whole family naturally went there in a grand manner to show their support.
After lunch, the children took a nap and felt refreshed. Although they had seen their family members wearing police uniforms and military uniforms at home before, the feeling was different when they faced so many soldiers wearing exactly the same uniforms and shouting slogans very loudly.
The most shocked were the twins. The two young men who usually worked hard outside were held in their father's arms at this time, with their eyes shining brightly without blinking. When the soldiers in formation marched in step, ran and shouted slogans as they passed by them, Cao Jingheng clearly felt the flesh on the back of his neck being pinched by the two little kids!
Cao Jingheng urged, "Do you want to go down and say hello to the uncles?"
Little Tangyuan nodded eagerly, but little Yuanbao thought a little more and asked uncertainly, "Is it okay?"
"Okay, let Grandpa take you there later."
Today was a shock to all the boys in the family. While Grandpa Shen was chatting with several younger generations around him, he did not miss the expressions of the children in the family. In this generation, the boys in the family must definitely join the army. There is no doubt about it. It all depends on who is the most suitable one.
First, they visited the compound, went to the training ground, and went to the shooting range. Every time they arrived at a place, Shen Anning could hear a sound of "wow, wow, wow" in his ears.
At half past six, everyone gathered in the cafeteria. The senior leaders of the army and the soldiers' families made dumplings together. On the stage, the handsome men and beautiful women of the art troupe presented one wonderful show after another with their enthusiasm and professionalism.
Cao Jingheng was "lucky" enough to be picked and went on stage to perform a close combat show with several little soldiers. Tangyuan looked at his father who had changed his clothes and looked completely different on the stage. He was infected by the laughter and did not forget to cover his little butt.
It was from this time that the little guy learned to act like a good boy in front of his father, and the spankings he received were simply his father being lenient with him.
