The roasted whole lamb was delicious, sprinkled with lots of spices. Lin Xiaoxiao only ate a few pieces before stopping.
An'an sat on Qin Yushen's lap, watching everyone eat, her mouth watering. Her longing look made everyone laugh.
An'an was laughed at, and grabbed her father's collar in dissatisfaction, pointing at the whole roasted lamb and making "abba aba" noises.
"You can't eat it." Qin Yushen held his small hand, trying to make him let go.
Unable to get any meat, An'an angrily nudged him, "Ahhh..."
The little girl's voice was fierce but not at all dangerous, which only made everyone adorable.
"Hahaha." Everyone laughed even louder, and even Qin Yushen couldn't help but smile.
"Alright, stop teasing him." Lin Xiaoxiao suppressed a laugh and pulled a teething biscuit from her bag. "Anbao, look what Mommy has in her hand?"
An'an lifted her head from Qin Yushen's embrace, looking at Lin Xiaoxiao with a wronged expression, "Huh?"
This little face is so adorable.
"Come here, Mommy will hold you." Lin Xiaoxiao opened her arms, and An'an immediately abandoned her father and rushed into her mother's arms.
The chubby little guy sat on his mother's lap, tilting his head back and babbling as if he had suffered a great injustice. He pouted and pointed at Qin Yushen, then at the uncles next to Qin Yushen who were laughing heartily.
“They’re laughing at An’an, so naughty.” Lin Xiaoxiao kissed her son’s little face.
She stuffed the cookies into his hand and said, "Eat Grandma's cookies, don't eat theirs, okay?"
"Aww." An'an happily munched on a cookie, swinging her little legs contentedly.
"Old Qin, your son is really something," the regimental commander on Qin Yushen's other side said with a smile. "He's a clever kid. Compared to him, our sons are like little monkeys."
The regimental commander had four sons, all of whom were quite sturdy and mischievous in the family compound, often causing trouble for others.
Seeing Qin Yushen's adorable and cuddly little one, I thought to myself, why wasn't my own child this well-behaved when he was born?
Look at that little face, so chubby, its little plump cheeks jiggle with every shake.
They're adorable no matter how you look at them.
Others also said that An'an was well taken care of.
"This is Captain Qin's first child, and a son at that, so naturally he's taking good care of him."
"By the way, when is Captain Qin going to have his second child?"
That's how married people are; they either talk about their wives or their children, but mostly about their children, since carrying on the family line has always been a tradition.
Qin Yushen skillfully shifted the topic to Lu Yunzhang, saying, "Commander Lu hasn't sent any news yet, so you should all pay more attention to him."
Lu Yunzhang: "..."
"Yes, Lao Lu, you really should take your personal life seriously."
"Let me see who's over twenty-five and still hasn't solved their personal problems..."
"Captain Tan."
Led by several division commanders, a marriage-urging rally was held for "older" and "unmarried" military officers.
Lu Yunzhang and Tan Yan were the main targets of their marriage urging.
Lu Yunzhang: "..."
Tan Yan: "......"
The two men gave Qin Yushen a cold look. If looks could kill, he would have been torn to pieces by them.
Despite the murderous glares from the two men, Qin Yushen smugly picked up a piece of mutton and fed it to Lin Xiaoxiao, saying, "Wife, have another piece."
Lin Xiaoxiao ate the meat and said with a laugh, "Aren't you afraid of being ganged up on by those two?"
Qin Yu raised an eyebrow. "I welcome them to try."
Let's give them a good beating.
"Take it easy, you have a cousin and a maternal cousin." Lin Xiaoxiao patted him lightly.
Although she didn't acknowledge Lu Yunzhang as her father, the two were indeed cousins, and he had returned the key first, so she had to give him some face.
Needless to say, Tan Yan is the only relative from my mother's family, so he deserves even more respect.
Qin Yushen knew what he was doing. "The leaders have brought up their personal issues several times already. I'm just adding fuel to the fire."
As soon as I finished speaking, a small hand nudged my shoulder.
Looking down, he saw An'an glaring at him fiercely.
She chuckled softly and pinched his little chubby cheeks. "Are you angry with Daddy? You can't eat that stuff, it's not that Daddy won't give it to you."
Despite saying that, An'an still had the guts to give her father the silent treatment for five minutes.
Five minutes later, she was back in her father's arms.
After the bonfire party, An'an was already fast asleep in Qin Huaijun's arms. Lin Xiaoxiao had brought a blanket to wrap him up. With his father's broad chest shielding him from the wind and snow, he didn't feel any cold air and slept soundly.
"Get some rest. We're going shopping tomorrow." When Lin Xiaoxiao got home, she was also very sleepy, so Qin Yushen told her to go to bed early.
Lin Xiaoxiao mumbled an "Mmm" in a daze.
I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
Perhaps because they went to bed too late last night, An'an was still asleep when the two of them got up in the morning. They could only send him to his parents' house next door first, and then go shopping with Qin Yushen.
I bought all my New Year's goods half a month ago. I came to the store this time because the store announced a couple of days ago that they would be getting some rare items today. The quantity was limited and it was first come, first served.
Lin Xiaoxiao took a fancy to an imported down jacket made of pure goose down. It came in men's and women's styles, and each jacket cost 230 yuan, which was really a bit expensive. Moreover, it required foreign exchange certificates.
When the two arrived, there were already quite a few people lingering in front of the down jackets.
I just haven't made up my mind to take it; I'm still hesitating.
Hesitation leads to defeat. Lin Xiaoxiao used her skill in snatching eggs from the old ladies at the supermarket and grabbed six pieces in one go.
"Heavens! There are only ten items in total, and you took six of them. What are the others supposed to buy?" An old lady slapped her thigh, looking annoyed.
