Chapter 177

"You're back?!!"

Qiu Dazao didn't care too much and ran home immediately.

Although there is no shortage of grandchildren in the family, it would be a good thing to have one more.

Many people followed her, wanting to go to her house to see the excitement.

Zhang Hongyan and Xu Cuiying did not leave. Xu Cuiying did not understand Zhang Hongyan's intention and complained:

"Sister Hongyan, Miss Wanwan has this ability, why don't you speak up for her?"

"What are you talking about?"

Zhang Hongyan was a little speechless, "This is more of a hindrance than help, not to mention that the elder sister is pregnant now.

Giving birth is such a big deal, if you don't ask the hygienist to help you but ask the elder sister, will the elder sister be able to handle it if something goes wrong?"

In Zhang Hongyan's heart, this is for Tang Wan's own good.

Seeing this, Xu Cuiying said hesitantly: "I thought that delivering babies could help to supplement the family income..."

"Sister Cuiying, thank you for your kindness, but I am not a professional doctor or midwife, so I dare not take this risk."

Tang Wan's attitude towards Xu Cuiying became even colder. This person sometimes has a low emotional intelligence and seems unable to understand that others don't want it in the first place.

"Sister Wanwan, are you angry?"

Even though Xu Cuiying was slow to respond, she noticed the change in Tang Wan's tone and quickly explained:

"I'm sorry, I thought you wanted to take these jobs too."

Tang Wan: …

Tang Wan chuckled, "I believe that even if it wasn't me, I would have been wrong in the situation last night.

I can also help Xia Qing deliver her baby, but she still has to give birth on her own in the end."

She chuckled and avoided Xu Cuiying's words, making Xu Cuiying feel a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Captain Xu arrived at this time.

He was holding a snakeskin bag in his hand and walked quickly to Tang Wan.

"Comrade Tang Wan, thank you for saving my wife and son yesterday. This is the thank-you gift my wife asked me to give you!"

"Captain Xu, we are all from the same compound, don't be so polite."

Tang Wan felt that there were a lot of things in the bag, so she politely refused.

As a result, Qiu Dazao quietly followed and took the bag from Captain Xu's hand.

"The young comrade said it's not necessary, why are you..."

"mother!"

Captain Xu was a little angry, "If Comrade Xiao Tang hadn't met Xia Qing, we don't know whether Xia Qing and the child would be alive.

Aren’t two lives worth this much? Don’t worry about it.”

He forced the bag into Tang Wan's yard. Qiu Dazao was reluctant, but since her son had said so, she had no choice.

"Thank you, Captain Xu."

Tang Wan thought of Xia Qing and couldn't help asking, "How are my sister-in-law and the child?"

Xia Qing was in good condition after she delivered the baby last night, and it happened that they were gone, so she didn't have the opportunity to take her pulse.

But it shouldn't be a big problem.

Sure enough, when Captain Xu mentioned his youngest son, his face was full of smiles, "Xia Qing and the child are both fine.

That boy is tough, and because he was born in the middle of life, we simply named him Xu Lu."

Tang Wan: …

Is it so casual?

Qiu Dazao was very dissatisfied. "How could you give your child such a name? Did you discuss it with me?"

She said angrily: "There are so many names, Hongqi sounds better than Xu Lu."

"Mom, we can name our own child."

Captain Xu knew his mother's character well, so he didn't stay at Tang Wan's house for long. He just said he would invite her to dinner when her baby's full moon came.

As soon as the mother and daughter left, Xu Cuiying stared at the snakeskin bag in Tang Wan's yard with envy.

Zhang Hongyan said hurriedly, "Sister, I have to cook for the kids. It's so cold, you should go back and have some rest."

"good."

Tang Wan was not stupid either, so naturally Zhang Hongyan was giving her a chance to do so. She said to Xu Cuiying:

"Sister Cuiying, I have to cook too, so I won't invite you in to sit down."

She went into the kitchen carrying the snakeskin bag. Zhang Hongyan didn't say anything to Xu Cuiying and went home directly.

Xu Cuiying suddenly felt a little aggrieved.

Obviously, their relationship was pretty good before.

How did it become like this?

In the kitchen, Tang Wan opened the snakeskin bag. Captain Xu was a generous man.

There was a freshly slaughtered chicken inside, as well as some bacon and sausage, which must have been brought by Xia Qing's family.

There is also some tofu.

Tang Wan packed up all the things and put them in the cupboard, then turned around to see Xu Lu and asked her to get something for the child.

It was cold, and Tang Wan didn't want to cook because the food would be cold if Lu Huaijing came back late.

So she simply cleaned the pot, washed a lot of vegetables and meat, and waited for Lu Huaijing to come back to eat hot pot together.

When Lu Huaijing came back, Tang Wan had just prepared the food, "Lu Huaijing, let's have hot pot tonight."

The hot pot base is cooked by her herself. It’s not as fragrant as the one in the hot pot restaurants, but it has a unique flavor.

As they were eating the hot meal, Lu Huaijing suddenly said, "Wife, have we not gone for the prenatal checkup yet?"

“I’ve been there once before.”

Tang Wan felt a little guilty, she was so busy every day that she barely even remembered about it.

The main reason is that there are few months left, and most people these days don’t do prenatal checkups, so she forgot about it when no one reminded her.

"I'll take a day off tomorrow and go with you to the prenatal checkup."

Lu Huaijing was frightened by Xia Qing giving birth on the road, and Tang Wan quickly refused.

"No, no, your army's affairs cannot be delayed. I'm still young, so I can go by myself."

Tang Wan didn't even raise her head. "If you're really worried, then take more vacation time and stay with me when I give birth."

In fact, Tang Wan knew that there was no other way in their line of work.

If there is a mission, it is very likely that the letter will not be sent out directly.

Hearing this, Lu Huaijing was indeed somewhat moved. "Then you should be careful. It might snow in the next two days. Let's not go out too much."

"Um."

Tang Wan nodded in agreement. After dinner, Lu Huaijing still washed the dishes while Tang Wan went to the space.

The space seemed warmer than outside, so Tang Wan made a glass of juice and drank it.

After washing up and coming out of the space, I just heard a whistle sounding in the courtyard.

Lu Huaijing had taught her that it seemed like the whistle for assembly.

Sure enough, Lu Huaijing's anxious voice was heard outside, "Wife, the troops have something to gather for, you should take good care of yourself at home."

Then there was the sound of footsteps. When Tang Wan came out of the cubicle, Lu Huaijing was no longer outside.

The dishes in the kitchen had been washed. Halfway through sweeping the floor, Tang Wan sighed, picked up the broom next to her and started sweeping the floor.

I knew he had this kind of working nature for a long time, maybe it was just the hormones in my body after I got pregnant.

Tang Wan's nose felt sore and tears were streaming down her face.

After she cleaned the kitchen, she didn't have the energy to go outside, so she simply went back to her room and lay down to rest.

Lu Huaijing was not at home, and the bed was deserted, so Tang Wan simply went to the space.

The temperature in the room was just right, and she fell into a deep sleep.

Without her man around, life alone in the space was pretty good. After washing up, Tang Wan had breakfast in the space.

Thinking of the production inspection, Tang Wan rode her bicycle out of the yard.

"Sister Wanwan, are you going out?"

Xu Cuiying was drying clothes in the yard. When she saw Tang Wan, her face was full of smiles again.

It was as if she wasn't the one who made people unhappy last night.
