"Hey~ Sang Yuan, what have you been doing instead of going to the cafeteria to eat? You stink."
The young soldier who shared the same dormitory with Sang Yuan and had a good relationship with him frowned, pinched his nose and took a step back.
"That's right! Sang Yuan, you stink as soon as you come in. Did you eat shit?" another one jumped a little further away and teased.
"What do you know? This is the noodle soup made by Meng Tuan's wife, sister-in-law. It smells bad, but tastes delicious, spicy, and has everything.
I don’t know how delicious it is, you guys are not lucky enough to eat it, you can only say the grapes are sour.”
Sang Yuan said this but still changed out of his training suit. He knew that it did smell bad.
"Is it made by Captain Meng's sister-in-law? It must be good. Everything she makes is delicious. I was so hungry after eating that chili sauce. Captain Meng feels sorry for his wife and doesn't allow her to make it."
"How can my sister-in-law make chili sauce when she's pregnant?" Sang Yuan responded to the man angrily.
"Yes, it's time to rest."
Shen Qingli naturally didn't know what was happening here.
At this moment, she was curled up on the sofa with a piece of candy in her arms, eating warm fruits and snacks she had carefully selected, and watching a TV series on the huge projection screen in the space.
Don’t mention how fulfilling this little life is.
————
Today is the fourth day since Meng Xiao left. Shen Qingli is bored to death from going back and forth in the home space.
Ever since she clearly felt the fetal movement, the baby in her belly has been unusually active every time she eats. Shen Qingli even muttered that these two will definitely become little greedy cats with mouths that love to eat.
That day, Shen Qingli finished his dinner, closed the door, and prepared to go out for a walk and breathe some fresh air.
The sky was just beginning to darken as she walked slowly along the path. When she reached the open space in front of the tube-shaped building, she felt a little emotional.
Not long after, she had a fight with the two sisters of the Chen family. Two days ago, she heard from Liu Yun's sister-in-law that the Chen family had fallen. After investigating for so long, she finally found evidence that Chen Xiang's father had colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country.
Chen Xiang's entire family, including Liu Tiejun, was investigated and examined. Liu Tiejun was cleared for the time being, but no one in the Chen family was innocent. Even the Chen sisters were more or less accused of knowing about the crime and not reporting it.
Even if nothing is found out about Liu Tiejun now, it will probably be difficult for him to get promoted in the future. In the short term, someone will keep a close eye on him until it can be proven that he is completely innocent and has not committed any crime.
Shen Qingli didn't go far and just sat down here.
There was another woman sitting nearby, watching a few children playing not far away. The woman looked to be in her twenties or thirties, and although her clothes were worn, they were quite neat and clean. When their eyes met, Shen Qingli nodded slightly at her, and she smiled in response.
"Who are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"
The woman looked at Shen Qingli curiously. She was so beautiful and pregnant. It was impossible for her not to be impressed if she had seen her before.
"I live in the small yard in front and have never been here." Shen Qingli responded with a smile. The other party's tone was not presumptuous, and she had a good first impression of the person in front of her.
"Little courtyard, you're from? Captain Meng's family?"
The woman's eyes lit up, and she continued, "I always hear them say that Captain Meng's wife is incredibly beautiful, but I've never seen her."
"Well, I'm Meng Xiao's wife."
Shen Qingli felt a little embarrassed when being praised, and lowered his head and pursed his lips.
Afraid that the woman would say something to praise her again, Shen Qingli spoke first:
"Whose sister-in-law are you? It's dinner time now. Have you eaten yet?"
"I've eaten. Now, take the kids downstairs for some fresh air. My boyfriend is the deputy battalion commander, but he's not under Captain Meng. Just call me Chunxiang."
She smiled brightly, and maybe it was because of the breeze, Shen Qingli's depressed mood after being cooped up in the house for a few days was relieved a lot.
"Okay, Chunxiang, you can call me Qingli Xiaoshen."
"Qingli, your belly is a little obvious even with your cotton jacket on. Are you about to give birth?"
There was unstoppable envy in her eyes...?
"No, it's only five or six months. It's still early."
Shen Qingli's words surprised Chunxiang: "It's only five or six months? Won't it be a lot bigger by the time the baby is born? I wonder if giving birth is so hard?"
Shen Qingli was a little confused. Didn't he just say that he was bringing the kids down to play?
Why do you seem so surprised and ignorant about giving birth?
"You? That child?" Shen Qingli looked at the children chasing and playing not far away, feeling a little confused.
"Ah? I didn't explain clearly. That's my child too, but it was born to my boyfriend's ex-wife. His mother is no longer with us. I only got married last year and haven't planned on having children yet.
This child is very dissatisfied with having younger brothers and sisters, and who knows what that gossip said in front of the child, saying that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather, and if there are younger brothers and sisters, he will not be allowed to live anymore.
Otherwise, you see, I go downstairs at this time every day. I don’t want to rush with them. It’s very annoying.”
Chunxiang felt that she and Shen Qingli got along well, so she couldn't help but talk more frequently. She was also a heartless person and said everything.
Shen Qingli didn't expect this to be the reason, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
After a while, he said dryly, "You really shouldn't say those things in front of children. Children actually understand everything."
Shen Qingli took out two candies from his pocket, leaving only two. He handed one to Chunxiang and peeled one for himself.
Candy is very expensive these days, and the two of them refused for a long time before Chunxiang was willing to accept the candy.
"Why don't you eat it? This is delicious, it tastes like milk." Shen Qingli saw that she was holding it in her hand.
"Give it to the child later. He has never eaten this before."
