Chapter 69



Bian Jiuxiang stayed in the health station for 3 days.

These days, Chen Wuwen accompanied her at night, and during the day, it was either Chen Nongmo or Cao Qiuhua, and he basically would not leave her alone.

It can be said that she was loved and pampered by the whole family. Apart from feeding the children, she didn't have to do anything else.

With such meticulous care, Bian Jiuxiang's lost complexion was mostly restored in just a few days.

This really made the women in the family compound envious again.

In the past, when Chen Wu heard that Captain Chen was helping his wife with the washing and cleaning at home, some people would secretly say that Bian Jiuxiang was lucky or call her a lazy woman.

Now I find that some people are born with good fortunes, otherwise why are the mother-in-law and sister-in-law so considerate? "I thought the whole family compound would be filled with jealousy this time, but who would have thought that the contrast was so strong that I couldn't feel jealous at all. There are still some who can't feel jealous, which makes me laugh to death." Fang Ping sat beside the hospital bed and laughed with her friends as she shared the reactions of the military families in the past few days.

Where there are people, there are disputes. The family compound is not completely harmonious. There will always be one or two people who love to gossip about the Zhang and Li families and cannot stand others doing well.

Bian Jiuxiang had a good family background, was an outstanding person, and married a very good husband, which made many people jealous.

But now, those people who always liked to huddle together and say all kinds of sour words about Bian Jiuxiang have completely wilted because of her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Isn't it funny?

"Why should I care about them? Whether they are sour or not has nothing to do with me." Bian Jiuxiang never pays attention to what irrelevant people say, and this moment is no exception. While talking, he did not forget to pour walnut kernels from the glass jar and eat them.

After picking out a larger piece of flesh and putting it in her mouth, she seemed to remember something and shook the glass bottle in her hand towards Fang Ping: "Look, this is peeled by my sister-in-law. There are several bottles. So I am lucky. Even my sister-in-law loves me. I can't make them angry to death."

Fang Ping laughed out loud: "Don't worry, I'll show off for you later. I want to piss them off to death. They have nothing to do all day long, and they just stare at other people's homes every day."

"What are you laughing at?" Cao Qiuhua came in carrying clean basins, teacups and other items, and looked curiously at Fang Ping who was laughing.

Bian Jiuxiang then roughly recounted what her friend had told her.

Before Cao Qiuhua could say anything, Chen Nongmo, who followed in, said speechlessly, "You are just bored."

Fang Ping laughed again: "That's right, it's just that people are bored and have nothing to do. When life gets better, people become pretentious."

"Mom, did Wu Wen say when he would come over?" Not wanting to continue talking about this, Bian Jiuxiang changed the subject.

She really missed home. Although everyone in the hospital was familiar to her, she still felt uncomfortable living there. Besides, if she went back to live there, her family would feel more relaxed.

"It's almost time. Once you've packed up, it'll be time for us to come."

This was indeed the case. Just a few minutes after they had packed up the miscellaneous items with a large bed sheet, Chen Wuwen rushed over.

Cao Qiuhua asked his son: "Is the flatbed cart at the door?"

Chen Wuwen nodded: "Yes, at the door, the bedding is ready, shall we go now?"

Bian Jiuxiang quickly reached out to her husband, impatiently saying, "Let's go now."

Chen Wuwen bent down with a smile and easily picked up his wife.

Seeing this, Cao Qiuhua and Chen Nongmo each picked up a child and followed.

Fang Ping and the medical staff who got along well with her at the health station helped to carry the bags, and the scene was quite grand.

Bian Jiuxiang, who was placed on the flatbed cart, smiled and thanked everyone: "I'll ask Lao Chen to send you red eggs later."

Hearing this, several medical staff members were not polite and responded with a smile: "Then we should take advantage of the good fortune. Wedding candy for twins is rare."

The oldest doctor among them, Dr. Wen, the middle-aged female doctor who helped Bian Jiuxiang deliver the baby, smiled and waved her hand: "There's no rush for these. It's cold outside. Go back quickly."

Having said that, he took the lead and turned into the health station.

Seeing this, the young nurses also laughed and said a few auspicious words, linked their arms with each other, and quickly followed Dr. Wen's pace.

"Your colleagues are all very nice." Fang Ping put the luggage in her hand on the bed and said with a smile.

Bian Jiuxiang was lying on the flatbed and looked at her sideways: "Are you going back to the family compound now?"

"Let's go later. Guifen needs to stay in the hospital for another two days. I'll stay for a while. At least I can lend a hand."

Thinking of Gu Guifen who has been in a bad mood these days, Bian Jiuxiang sighed secretly: "Then you go ahead and get busy. If Sister Guifen needs any help, just tell me."

Fang Ping waved her hand: "Why do we need you? We have so many military dependents. Each of us can take care of her in half a day. We don't need you."

Yes, even those few nagging ones are not bad people. They have come to the hospital to help many times these days.

= "It's still more comfortable at home." Bian Jiuxiang, who successfully lay down on his own kang bed, couldn't help but sigh, his brows relaxed.

"That's for sure. There's no place in this world that can be as comfortable as your own home." Cao Qiuhua carefully placed her two grandsons on the kang bed and squeezed their little hands lovingly, her face full of love.

Three days later, the children's faces were still wrinkled, but much better than when they were just born. At least you can see that the facial features of the two little ones are still very similar.

However, it is still difficult to tell whether he looks more like his father or his mother.

"By the way, have you chosen the names of the children? You can't always call them the eldest or the second oldest, right?" When talking about this, Cao Qiuhua glared at his son with some dissatisfaction, annoyed that he was too slow in doing things.

As soon as these words came out, the three women looked at him.

Chen Wuwen expressed his opinion first: "I am a little dissatisfied, but the old man said that the little ones were born on a day like the Dragon Raising its Head, so the nicknames should not be too harsh, and they should be given softer ones to soften them. It makes sense, but I think it is a little too feminine."

Chen Nongmo stabbed in: "Can you still be pretty and feminine?"

Chen Wuwen choked and glared at his sister in anger: "Shut up!"

Cao Qiuhua slapped her son and said angrily, "What are you doing, Xiong Yuyu? Did she say something wrong? Hurry up, what are the names of the children? Why are you taking so long?"

Bian Jiuxiang, who was a little impatient, also frowned: "That's right, get to the point."

Chen Wuwen, whose family status was declining, rubbed his nose and said, "The eldest is Huayue, and the second is Huachao. I am not to blame for my goose bumps. The children are all boys, so how can they be called Hua?"

Cao Qiuhua pondered the two names twice and thought they were pretty good.

After all, she was somewhat superstitious. Old Bian was right. If her grandson was born on a day like the Dragon Raising its Head and was given a particularly big name, she was afraid that he would not be able to keep his name.

It's just a feminine nickname. In the past, people would let their hair grow long and be raised as girls.

Thinking of this, she immediately felt that her father-in-law was well-educated: "That's it, Huayue and Huachao, very good."

Chen Nongmo also thought it was good. She explained, "Brother, you think too much. Huayue and Huachao don't mean feminine things. February is also called Huayue, and Huachao represents the revival of all things. We should look at the meaning. The old man named it this way because he loves his grandson so much. Besides, the nickname is not registered in the household registration book, so it is just called at home."

After listening to the sister-in-law's explanation, Bian Jiuxiang made the final decision: "Just call them Yueyue and Chaochao."

Chen Wuwen. = The kitchen team bought a batch of sheep from the farm.

When his sister-in-law gave birth, Shao Zheng couldn't help her, so he just ordered half a loin of meat.

So, after get off work, he didn’t go straight to the staff quarters, but went to the kitchen to get meat first.

Political Commissar Hu also bought ten kilograms of meat. As he was carrying the meat out of the kitchen, he saw his partner who was also carrying a sack and smiled, "Hey, Lao Shao, you ordered a lot."

"Half a fan."

Nowadays, cattle and sheep basically eat grass, and if they are well raised, an adult sheep weighs only about 100 kilograms.

Half a fan sounds like a lot, but after picking it up, there are only about 30 kilograms of pure meat.

Political Commissar Hu calculated and said with emotion: "There are many of you. It looks like a lot, but you can't eat many meals."

Shao Zheng smiled: "This half fan was not easy to come by. I spent a lot of time with the quartermaster."

"Hey, he's the most protective of his food. Even if he's just buying two potatoes, he'll still complain about it."

"That's true."

The two men talked as they walked, with topics ranging from mutton to the new recruits joining the army in the spring, and from the new recruits to the list of discharges compiled by the regiment this year, and soon they arrived at the family compound.

Looking at the smoke curling up from the smoke pipes of each household not far away, Political Commissar Hu turned his head to look at his partner beside him.

Shao Zheng raised his eyebrows: "What?"

Political Commissar Hu pointed at Chen Wuwen's room and said, "Your girlfriend has been here for about a month, right? She even stayed in your dormitory for a few days a while ago. How come there's been no news since then?"

Shao Zheng frowned: "What do you mean? Did someone say something about Yu Yu?"

"Why are you so anxious? Who has said anything? But..." Commissar Hu carefully chose his words and said, "If we don't say anything now, after a while, some bad words will definitely spread. We men are thick-skinned, won't the little girl suffer?"

Hearing this, Shao Zheng said nothing, but continued to frown.

Political Commissar Hu added, "You can discuss this with Comrade Xiao Chen. Even if you don't want to get married now, you can get engaged first. You and I both know that a person you don't want to marry for a few years and a fiancée you don't want to marry for a few years are two completely different things."

Are you engaged?

Shao Zheng's heart suddenly skipped a beat because of this word.

He always knew that his girlfriend was not in a hurry to get married, so he rarely talked to her about this topic, and he was also prepared to wait for a few years.

But...get engaged first. No, I can't think about it anymore. Just thinking about it makes my heart burst with joy.

Seeing his partner's face blooming with joy, Political Commissar Hu shook his head with amusement: "Don't think I'm too nosy, but it's not good for you or Comrade Chen to not have a formal status for a long time."

Hearing this, thinking of those innocent people who were accused of unwarranted crimes over the years, Shao Zheng frowned in disgust again: "I will discuss this with Yu Yu."

At this point, he patted Lao Hu on the shoulder again and said sincerely, "Thank you."
