When Xiao Yichen left.
I'm really a little tearful.
A few nights before he left, Tian Tian held Su Ruobai in his arms.
This time, he put one arm around her shoulder and stroked her belly with the other.
"Susu, I have to go. I probably won't be back until after you give birth."
His tone was desolate, even somewhat hoarse.
Su Ruobai ignored him.
Slap his groping hand away.
"Don't touch my belly, it will agitate the baby. If she moves too much, it can easily cause the umbilical cord to wrap around her neck or twist, which is very dangerous."
Xiao Yichen didn't take it seriously at first, but when he heard his wife say it was dangerous, his hand sprang away as if it were made of spring.
He immediately sat up and asked his wife anxiously, "Was it alright when I touched you like that?"
Su Ruobai was cushioned by his sudden movement as he stood up.
"you……"
Why is this person so impulsive?
However, even in the dim light of the kerosene lamp, I could see his nervous expression.
He replied crisply, "It's not dangerous! Okay, go to sleep!"
After saying that, he turned around and went to sleep.
It's still most comfortable to stay in bed today.
When Xiao Yichen heard that Su Ruobai said she was fine, he felt relieved.
He lay down next to his wife and hugged Su Ruobai from behind.
"Honey, I really don't want to leave, but I can't. I have to go back now. Please don't be angry!"
A soft, murmuring sound came from inside.
He was afraid that his wife would be unhappy if he wasn't home during her pregnancy.
Su Ruobai: Which eye of yours saw that I was unhappy!
I patiently explained to him, "I understand, I'm not angry!"
Xiao Yichen heard his wife's dry reply.
I felt terrified.
It’s over!
His wife is back to her usual cold and indifferent approach.
It's stuck on a little tighter now.
He continued to explain, "Honey, I will definitely find a chance to come back. As long as I can get leave, I will definitely come back."
I reckon that when I go back this time, I'll at least get promoted to battalion commander.
"How about you come and join us when the time comes? We're near Haishi, your hometown, and by the sea. Then you can have whatever seafood you want."
Xiao Yichen thought his idea was brilliant.
His wife loves to eat it.
That will definitely win him over.
But Su Ruobai completely ignored him.
Pshaw, what's so special about seafood?
Whatever kind of seafood you want, we have it.
Does she need to go back to Haishi if she wants to eat seafood?
It's in her profile.
Xiao Yichen saw that Su Ruobai did not answer.
His brow furrowed slightly.
Why isn't this trick working anymore?
Or maybe I forgot something!
After racking my brains for a long time, I finally remembered it.
After his wife gives birth, there will be another baby.
If he goes to the military, his wife will have to take care of the baby!
This is definitely not appropriate.
Taking care of a baby alone must be so tiring!
Xiao Yichen gently placed his hand on Su Ruobai's shoulder again.
Gently shake it a few times.
"Wife, do you think this is okay?"
How about we let Mom come along too, so she can help us take care of the kids?
You and Mom get along well, you'll definitely get along.
I'd like to apply for housing; I'd like a small bungalow with a yard.
"You like planting, right? Plant whatever you want then. There's some wasteland in the camp that's allocated to family members; you can plant whatever you want then."
Su Ruobai: Does Xiao Yichen know that he's so eager to find work for his mother?
Aunt Xiao probably doesn't know.
I did sneeze several times.
The four eggs at the end of the kang (heated brick bed) all looked over.
One by one, they propped themselves up from their warm beds with their hands and poked their heads out.
With concern, she asked, "Grandma, Grandma, are you alright?"
"Grandma, what's wrong, Grandma..."
The kids played a little late tonight.
Tie Dan simply refused to leave.
She said she wanted to sleep with her brother.
Fortunately, the heated brick bed at home was large and had many quilts.
There's room for two more people to sleep here.
I told my second son's family through the wall.
Tie Dan slept next to his three older brothers.
Hearing Aunt Xiao's commotion, Jin Dan immediately put on his cotton-padded coat and came downstairs.
I poured a bowl of water for his mother.
Aunt Xiao was terrified and quickly stopped him: "Golden Egg, what are you doing? Go back now, stop shaking it."
As he spoke, he quickly put on his cotton-padded coat and got off the bed.
There's a trick to this heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove): the head of the kang is the hottest, while the foot is a bit warmer.
The children are all teenagers, full of energy.
So they were all moved to the end of the kang (heated brick bed).
After Aunt Xiao put on her cotton shoes, Jin Dan had already brought over a large bowl.
He handed the bowl to Aunt Xiao.
With bright, sparkling eyes, she said, "Grandma, some hot water will do the trick!"
Jin Dan thought that his grandma might have caught a cold.
This is simple too. Just drink more hot water, lie down on the kang (heated brick bed), cover yourself with a quilt, and sweat it out.
If that doesn't work, go find a barefoot doctor and get some fever reducers.
If you follow this process once, you'll be basically done.
Xiao Aimin couldn't stop smiling as he looked at his filial grandson.
Aunt Xiao, delighted, joked, "This is the child's heartfelt gift, drink it quickly."
"Golden Egg, hurry up and come up! It's so cold out there, you have to be careful!"
Aunt Xiao glared at the old man when she heard his words.
You're so good at praising people, you're the only one with a mouth.
You've already praised everything, what am I supposed to praise?
However, this child is becoming more and more sensible.
They really deserve a lot of praise.
