Su Ruobai clearly did not understand her man's thoughts.
He shook his head firmly.
"It's probably impossible. According to my nominal mother, the first baby born was indeed a son."
Otherwise, the Zhao family wouldn't have been able to exchange a dead child for it.
Because that child was a boy.
Xiao Yichen smiled helplessly.
"Alright!"
Brother-in-law it is!
Anyway, I've already got a wife and a child.
My brother-in-law is determined to cause trouble, but there's not much room for maneuver left.
Just as Sister Gu predicted.
The kang (heated brick bed) was finished in just one day.
They bought two at once, one for each room.
However, people cannot sleep on this new kang (heated brick bed) immediately.
It's too damp; it needs to air out for a few days.
The family has been sleeping in bed for the past few days.
The dark circles under Aunt Xiao's eyes became even more noticeable.
When asked, Aunt Xiao said that she was in a new place and wasn't used to the bed.
Everyone nodded in agreement, saying that everyone had gone through the same thing.
In reality, everyone was saying behind their backs that the young couple was inconsiderate, how could they make such a big fuss!
It was so noisy that my mother-in-law couldn't sleep.
Some people even asked Aunt Zhao if she had heard any strange noises at night.
Aunt Zhao is an experienced person, a veteran.
Add to that the person asking the question, with their clearly malicious smile and pointed chin.
I understand instantly.
Aunt Zhao had ulterior motives.
His eyes darted around, and an idea popped into his head.
"Of course there is! You guys don't know, I don't even want to talk about Battalion Commander Xiao's wife."
The noise was like it hadn't been a man in ages; it kept me from sleeping.
You tell me, the way she's acting is really unfaithful to a woman!
Aunt Zhao's meaning was very clear.
They wanted to label Su Ruobai as unfaithful.
My daughter is like she's under a spell; she's fallen for that Battalion Commander Xiao.
If she's really willing to go all out, she could just drug them and sleep together.
But her daughter still had to save face.
Normally, if someone says a few words to me, I won't dare to move.
How can you poach talent from someone like that?
Aunt Zhao was worried; her daughter-in-law was coming back soon!
Where are they going?!
Aunt Zhao smeared Su Ruobai, hoping to ruin her reputation.
The key question everyone was asking was, "Is Battalion Commander Xiao really that capable?"
How can you still have energy after training all day?
As a result, the rumors became increasingly bizarre.
In the end, it became a situation where Battalion Commander Xiao worked hard to train his soldiers during the day and relentlessly trained his wife at night.
Working around the clock.
It doesn't include sleeping.
Xiao Yichen could only stare blankly at the elderly women in the family compound, whose smiles at him grew increasingly sinister.
It's getting more and more meaningful!
Xiao Yichen scratched his head. What's wrong?
The time has finally come to treat everyone to a meal.
The people who came were all from Xiao Yichen's camp.
Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao, Company Commander Sun, Company Commander He, and Political Instructor Lin.
This time, I didn't invite my brother-in-law.
Su Ruobai cooks.
A table full of dishes.
It includes chicken, duck, fish, and meat.
It was very plentiful.
Regardless of what happens in private, we're all good brothers on the surface.
Over drinks, they were practically sworn brothers, ready to fight to the death.
Company Commander Sun was too drunk to walk.
I heard that Xiao Yichen's kang (heated brick bed) was just finished and hadn't been moved over yet, but he went straight up there to rest.
"I need to rest for a bit, Battalion Commander, I'm feeling unwell!"
After saying that, he started vomiting.
Xiao Yichen had no choice but to see the others out first.
After everyone had left, Company Commander He walked at the back and, while shaking hands with Xiao Yichen, gave him a small note.
"Commander Xiao, we're off then. The food today was absolutely delicious."
"Come to my house sometime, and try your sister-in-law's cooking!"
As he spoke, he gripped her hand very tightly.
His eyes, slightly glazed with intoxication, glanced down.
Xiao Yichen returned a knowing look.
Several people went out and went home.
They're all in the family compound, so there's no need to send them off.
Once he could no longer see anyone, Xiao Yichen calmly returned to his room.
Once inside and with the door closed, Xiao Yichen opened the note.
I only just saw the contents of the note.
His brows furrowed at first, then relaxed.
That's why these aunties and older women are looking at me so strangely!
This... this is a good thing, right?
Since it was a good thing, Xiao Yichen decided to leave it alone.
The men clinked glasses and drank.
Aunt Xiao then took the child and went out.
Su Ruobai was also unwilling to stay at home.
After getting familiar with the environment, Su Ruobai went into the mountains.
Let's see what good stuff we have here.
The result was somewhat disappointing.
The population here is too dense.
Since it was also a military base, the young soldiers would go hunting in the mountains during their rest time.
There's hardly any wild game or even wild vegetables around here, let alone wild game.
Su Ruobai had no choice but to go inside.
Before long, a yam plant was found.
Normally, she wouldn't have recognized it.
That is, now is her mature period.
The yams in the ground are definitely not visible.
However, the small yam beans on the vines are easy to identify.
Many of them fell to the ground.
Some are big, some are small.
The larger ones are two or three centimeters long, while the smaller ones are not much bigger than a soybean.
Su Ruobai had a rather rustic side; he took out a small shovel from the basket and started digging.
It was fine at first; there was some soil on top, but various stones underneath.
Big and small, long and short.
