Yun Qiao laughed dumbly: "Red stars shine brightly at night."
"By the way, has Tingjun arrived?" Zeng Qi asked.
"Not yet." Yun Qiao shook his head and asked, "Has Captain Yang arrived?"
"He showed up this afternoon and left again. I guess he still has some finishing work to do." Zeng Qi comforted him, "Don't worry, Tingjun might be here by evening. They're out training, and their schedules are unpredictable. It's normal for him to be a day or two late."
Yun Qiao nodded: "Yes, I know, I'm not in a hurry."
Zeng Qi invited him: "Yun Qiao, there are almost no seats left inside. Have you reserved a seat in advance? If not, why not join us? My Jianjun has reserved a few seats in advance."
Yun Qiao waved her hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sister-in-law. But I won't come back. I've already told Nurse Gao from our clinic, and her son has already saved a seat for me."
"Okay, then go in quickly. The movie will start soon."
Standing next to Zeng Qi and her daughter at the entrance of the auditorium, Yun Qiao sat on a staircase that led down one step at a time. The closer he got to the big screen, the wider his view.
When he reached the middle of the auditorium, Yun Qiao finally heard Gao Qian's voice.
"Doctor Qin, this way."
Yun Qiao turned around and saw Gao Qian standing up from her seat holding Xinxin, standing out among the people sitting around her.
Yun Qiaoxian walked towards her quickly.
There were several empty seats next to Gao Qian. Gao Qian's eldest son, Shao Jinxin, waved his hand and said casually, "Aunt Qin, these seats are all ours. You can choose any one and sit down."
"Hey." Yun Qiao raised his hand and touched Shao Jinxin's head, then took out two large pieces of rabbit milk candy from his pocket and stuffed them all at him: "A thank you gift for helping me save a seat. Eat one for yourself and give the other to Mu Sen."
"Thank you, Aunt Qin." Shao Jinxin smiled, revealing the two holes under his lips where his front teeth were missing due to tooth replacement.
Speaking of which, the names of Gao Qian's three children are all very interesting.
The eldest son Shao Jinxin, the second son Shao Musen, and the youngest daughter Shao Xinxiu all have the same name. When they go to school, as soon as they write their names, even if they don't call their parents, the teachers can know that they are brothers and sisters.
When Yun Qiao first knew her, she teased her that if she had another child, she didn't know how to name the child.
Yun Qiao chose a seat next to Gao Qian and sat down. She noticed a few empty, unwashed lunch boxes on the seat next to them, one of which contained a half-eaten mixed-flour bun. She asked, "Little Miss Gao, why are you here without having eaten?"
As she spoke, she took out another piece of candy from her pocket and stuffed it into Xinxin's hand, insisting on treating everyone equally.
"It's because the kids are so enthusiastic!" Gao Qian said without getting angry. "I just got off work and picked up Xinxin from the nursery. I wasn't even home yet, but they dragged me here. I had to stop by the cafeteria on the way to grab something to fill my stomach, and then have a late-night snack after the movie."
"Yes, we need to make up for it." Yun Qiao smiled. "Children aged eight or nine are at the age of growth and consume food quickly. If we eat dinner too early, we will easily wake up hungry at night."
"Of course." Gao Qian said, "My eldest son has grown seven or eight feet in the past six months. He barely wears the shoes he wears but he says they're too tight. I can't make enough for him."
"Jin Xin has long legs. He'll definitely be tall in the future, just like his father."
"I think so too." Gao Qian was proud, but also a little worried: "It's just that he's growing too fast. He always complains of leg pain at night. I'm worried about how to supplement his nutrition."
"There are calcium tablets at the clinic. Buy a bottle and keep it at home. Let him take two tablets a day."
Gao Qianyu: "We have some at home. As long as I don't remind him, he won't remember to eat it. But I'm busy taking care of three children, and I forget from time to time. I should have finished it in March, but after six months, there's still half a bottle left."
"Or you can go to the pork stall in the grocery store and buy some bones or pig tails that others don't want. Then put some kelp, tofu and other high-calcium foods in them, stew them for him to drink, and it will also supplement calcium." Yun Qiao helped with the idea.
Gao Qian nodded. "Hey, I'll go ask at the pork stall. I've seen them a few times before, but I thought the big bones were too hard to stew, so I passed on any. I'm also not very fond of kelp. I've only seen it at the grocery store in our compound."
"If you have time, go to the supply and marketing cooperative in Xishe to buy it. There is dried kelp there. I saw it the last time I went to Xishe." Yun Qiao said.
Gao Qian responded and said, "Let's wait for his father to come. I can't leave the base by myself with three children."
"Xinxin's father is out for training too?" Yun Qiao asked.
"Yes, he's been gone for five or six days." Gao Qian said with a bitter face, "During these five or six days, I was alone at home taking care of three children. It almost drove me to death."
"You've worked hard." Yun Qiao said sincerely.
After all, taking care of children is not an easy job.
Yun Qiao felt admiration when he thought about the fact that one person was taking care of three children.
As she was talking, someone suddenly sat down next to Gao Qian. She frowned and turned her head, only to find that it was Han Rou.
She was wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket and a blue plaid scarf on her head, wrapping herself tightly. She was holding her stepdaughter Qingqing's hand, and she also had the same plaid scarf wrapped around her head and neck.
"Comrade Han, didn't you say it was too cold outside and you wouldn't come?" Gao Qian asked her.
"I didn't want to come, but Jinxin and Musen kept telling Qingqing that they wanted to watch a movie that evening, so Qingqing took it to heart. After dinner, I wanted to take her to bed, but she refused to sleep and kept muttering about wanting to watch a movie. Her father wasn't home, and I couldn't keep her company by myself, so I had no choice but to bring her here."
After Han Rou finished speaking, she took off the scarf on her head and put it on the back of the chair behind her.
Seeing that her scarf had been untied, Xiong Qingqing also reached out to untie the scarf around her neck, but her little hands were not so flexible, and she pulled the scarf tighter instead, strangling her neck.
She opened her mouth and started howling. Han Rou quickly stuffed a piece of candy into her hand and then quickly untied her bra.
Xiong Qingqing stopped crying and held the candy in front of Han Rou, "Mom, open it."
"Tuo."
Han Rou immediately peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed the candy into Xiong Qingqing's mouth.
The child eating the candy was well-behaved and quiet. Han Rou seemed relieved, as if she had just seen Yun Qiao. She raised her hand and greeted her with a smile: "Xiao Qin, you are here too."
