Chapter 180

"No wonder she was so anxious to marry Vice Colonel Lu. Could it be that the child is not his?"

Cheng Xiaoyue has recovered a little during this period, but perhaps because she has not been pregnant, her eyes are full of gloom.

"Defamation of military personnel is a serious crime. Do you want me to go and discuss this with the Women's Federation?"

Tang Wan was pregnant, otherwise she would definitely beat Cheng Xiaoyue.

But Cheng Xiaoyue has gone crazy, Tang Wan will not be stupid enough to offer herself to her. What if she does something naughty and pushes her?

Tang Wan wouldn't dare to block someone as conscientious as Cheng Xiaoyue.

"Xiaoyue, you still have the same temper."

Xu Cuiying really didn't like Cheng Xiaoyue. She said speechlessly, "Don't say the grapes are sour because you can't have them."

"You are just too kind-hearted."

Cheng Xiaoyue sneered and left. Her husband was not at home recently and she was busy competing with her stepdaughter.

Xu Cuiying smiled awkwardly, "Sister Wanwan, Xiaoyue is just like that, don't be angry."

"Of course I'm not angry. I don't know why my stomach is like this. It may be due to my physical condition."

Tang Wan was sitting in the yard making tiger-head shoes. The weather was good today and the sun was out.

But it was still a little cold in winter, so she patted the finished shoes.

She didn't want to tell anyone about the twins.

"Big sister, would you like to go to Captain Xu's house together?"

Zhang Hongyan poked her head over from next door and said, "Today is the full moon day of Xia Qing's baby."

They are all from the same compound for a month. Although they don’t treat us, we still go and have a look and walk around.

"OK."

Tang Wan put the finished tiger-head shoes into a bag and carried it with her. Zhang Hongyan taught her how to make them.

"Wait for me."

Xu Cuiying hurried into the house to get a few eggs and went to Captain Xu's house with them.

At this moment, Qiu Dazao was smiling with wrinkles on his face as he accepted the gifts, while Xia Qing seemed unhappy as she was holding the child.

Seeing Tang Wan, she smiled, "Sister, you guys are here?"

"Um."

Tang Wan saw Xu Cuiying handing the egg to Qiu Dazao, and Qiu Dazao seemed to have a look of disgust.

In fact, six eggs are considered a lot in this day and age.

"These are the shoes I made for Lulu."

Tang Wan passed Qiu Dazao and gave the tiger-head shoes to Xia Qing, who liked them very much.

"Girl, you are so skillful. I can't do these. It's just that the weather is cold now, so I can wear them on my feet."

"How stingy."

Qiu Dazao muttered to himself that the tiger-head shoes were made of so little fabric and were not worth much.

Xia Qing glanced at her calmly, then smiled at Tang Wan and said:

“I really like it.”

As she spoke, she put shoes on Xu Lu in front of everyone, which made Qiu Dazao look angry.

Zhang Hongyan also handed the hat she knitted to Xia Qing, "I don't know how to make anything else, so I made a hat for Lulu."

"Thank you, Sister Wang. I like it very much."

Xia Qing was also very happy. Apart from her family, no one else made clothes for her son.

People like Qiu Dazao would only give their children old clothes from Heping and Weimin.

Although everyone dresses like this these days, Xia Qing still feels uncomfortable.

Seeing Xia Qing smiling so happily at Tang Wan and Zhang Hongyan, Xu Cuiying felt a little regretful.

If she had known earlier, she would have made something by herself. At that time, she thought it was too troublesome and missed an opportunity to please the man and lead his wife.

Many people came to see the baby's full-month birthday, even Lu Huaili came.

She also took a few eggs.

Last time, with Lu Huaijing's help, Deng Weicheng finally did not return to his hometown, but now he has already recovered and is back on mission.

There has been no news from the men recently, and the compound is filled with a group of women, both old and young.

The wives of the soldiers sat in groups of two or three. "Captain's wife, do you know when they will be back from their mission?"

"It's almost the Chinese New Year, and they've been away for a month or so. I'm really worried."

"It's not like there haven't been missions this long before. At least the troops have some information."

“…”

Tang Wan was also a little curious. She was used to Lu Huaijing, and he suddenly left for such a long time. She felt it was quite lonely living alone.

Xia Qing said helplessly: "You guys don't know, how can I know in advance, they are on the mission together.

If we are going to come back, we will definitely come back together. Don’t worry, no news is the best news.”

In fact, she was more helpless than anyone else. After all, her husband went on a mission just after she gave birth to her child.

There is also a restless mother-in-law at home, and life is difficult.

Zhang Hongyan noticed Xia Qing's embarrassment and low mood, and quickly took the initiative to change the subject.

"It's no use asking her this question. She wants a man to stay at home with her during the confinement period more than we do.

We are all military wives, so we should be more aware and not disturb men from doing their duties."

"Yes, Sister Hongyan is right. Let's not put too much pressure on the troops."

Tang Wan also followed Zhang Hongyan's words. Even so, perhaps because of her suspicion, she felt a sour feeling in her nose.

She has been prone to daydreaming lately, staying at home alone.

Everyone fell silent after hearing this. Everyone knew that men have a hard time, but they are indeed needed at home.

They also miss their men.

I don’t know who started it first. “My baby had a fever, and my husband was not at home. I walked eight miles with the child in my arms…”

"That's not true. I'm the one who takes care of everything at home. I have to do everything with my own hands. The child is crying because he's hungry."

"The older child's cold hasn't healed yet, and the younger one caught a cold again. I carried the child to the hospital again and again, and I didn't even realize I had a fever myself."

“…”

Everyone felt very aggrieved, some even burst into tears, because the men in the army had not returned for too long.

Everyone seemed to be suppressing deep grievances.

Xia Qing, who had just finished her confinement, also shed tears. Qiu Dazao said in a weird tone:

"Why are you crying? It's not like your man died. You chose him yourself, so you have to accept it."

These words were not pleasant to hear, and some people took them to heart. Tang Wan glanced at her speechlessly.

"Okay, what are we? We are military wives!

Our men are contributing to the country. What we need to do is to take good care of the rear so that the men don't have to worry about the future.

When we have difficulties, we all help each other, and I believe they will be proud of us."

I didn't expect such heroic words to come from Tang Wan, a young military wife.

Everyone was extremely surprised. She said with her big belly, "No matter how hard or tiring it is, we are still happy to see our country developing peacefully!"

Zhang Hongyan took the lead in applauding, and tears welled up in everyone's eyes. Yes, it at least proved that their efforts were worth it.

Xia Qing wiped away her tears and said, "Sister, you are very conscious. We are a big family. We will help each other if there is anything in the future."

"Yes, yes, I can make clothes and can help you."

Zhang Hongyan clapped her hands and laughed. The atmosphere gradually became warmer and no longer as depressing as before.

At this time, Guizhi came in jogging from outside, "Aunt Tang, someone is looking for you at the gate of the compound."

"Looking for me?"

Tang Wan was a little puzzled. Her parents had already returned to Dong City. Could it be that the eldest master came to see her?

But Guizhi told her that she was a woman, and she walked towards the gate of the compound with tears in her eyes.
