Ran Qiu lowered his head to look at Naiwan who was lying obediently in his arms. His mood became excited again, and his eyes seemed to be filled with bright stars.
Rong Zhengqing took in Ran Qiu's joyful expression. She lowered her eyes and sighed silently. In fact, Ran Qiu was very suitable to be the father of this child. It was a pity that Song Zhi seemed to have no intention of finding a father for this child from the beginning to the end...
The three of them surrounded the newborn baby, and even when he fell asleep, they were reluctant to put him in the cradle.
The sleeping baby was completely unaware of the three people's burning gazes, and was sleeping soundly with his little fists clenched.
"It's already asleep, so cute." Nie Jinmei looked at the little baby with the sweet smell of milk, and her heart was itching. If she was not afraid of waking the baby up, she really wanted to grab him and hug him herself.
"The baby is still small. You can't hold him like this all the time. Put him in the cradle."
In the end, it was Rong Zhengqing who said something.
Ran Qiu then reluctantly placed the baby in the cradle that had been prepared for him long ago, and gently covered him with a thin blanket.
Nie Jinmei went into the house to take a look at Song Zhi, then went to the kitchen to bring back a basin of hot water, and gently wiped Song Zhi's face, hands and feet.
Song Zhi was really exhausted today, and he didn't even wake up like this, which made Nie Jinmei and the others feel distressed.
Although she and the baby were asleep, the three of them were worried that she would wake up in the middle of the night and no one would be around when she needed anything, so they decided to take turns keeping watch.
Moreover, the child is still young and cannot sleep for long before he needs to get up to feed, which also requires someone to take care of him.
Thinking of this, Nie Jinmei looked at Ran Qiu and said.
"Teacher Ran, go to sleep. Leave this to the two of us."
Ran Qiu was unwilling.
They felt sorry for Song Zhi, and naturally he felt the same way.
"I'll stay away from it," he said.
Hearing this, the two were speechless and had no choice but to let him stay.
At the same time.
In the army.
Tang Junhe, who never suffers from insomnia, opened his eyes in bed for the first time.
He stared blankly at the void, feeling an inexplicable throbbing in his heart. However, before he could grasp what it was, the feeling quickly disappeared.
He had no choice but to turn over and close his eyes again.
But after just a short while, the sleepiness had already disappeared.
He tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep for some unknown reason.
He has always had a regular schedule and rarely suffers from insomnia.
Tang Junhe suddenly felt helpless and had to force himself to close his eyes so that he could fall asleep as soon as possible.
But as soon as he closed his eyes, a beautiful figure appeared in his mind.
The sudden thought of Song Zhi made him even more unable to sleep.
Ashun Village is too far away from the army, and he has been busy with many things recently, so he hasn't seen her for a while.
Now, whenever I think of her, the longing that has been pent up in my heart grows wildly.
Tang Junhe sighed and thought that he would go find her after this batch of new recruits finished their training.
Coincidentally, his salary was also paid...
The next morning, Ran Qiu returned to Dongyang Village.
He slaughtered the hen that was ordered from home, and after sending the three little ones to school, he asked for leave from the school and returned to Ashun Village with the hen.
"Is she awake?"
He came back in a hurry, and the first thing he did was to ask about Song Zhi.
Rong Zhengqing shook his head: "No, he's still asleep."
Hearing this, Ran Qiu nodded, rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen.
He could use this time to stew the hen so that she could drink hot chicken soup when she woke up.
Nie Jinmei followed him into the kitchen and blinked twice in surprise as she watched him skillfully handling a hen.
"Teacher Ran, did you kill the old hen that laid eggs?"
Ran Qiu nodded, chopped the chicken into small pieces with his swift hands and feet, and then put it into the casserole.
"Old hens need nutrition."
Hearing what he said, Nie Jinmei couldn't help but click her tongue.
Everyone knows that old hens are nutritious, but it is not easy to raise an old hen these days, let alone an old hen that can only lay eggs.
Ran Qiu was really willing to do it.
Song Zhi slept until noon before waking up.
When she opened her eyes, she saw three people standing by her bed.
Seeing that she woke up, they all came over.
"Awake, are you hungry?"
Before she could say anything, Ran Qiu stood up and walked towards the kitchen, and soon brought back a bowl of hot chicken soup.
"Have some chicken soup."
Song Zhi looked at the bowl of steaming chicken soup that was handed to her and was moved. She raised her head and looked at the three pairs of eyes filled with concern, and her heart felt warm.
She took the chicken soup and drank two sips before she realized that Codonopsis pilosula was also added in it.
"Don't just drink the soup, eat some meat."
Ran Qiu glanced at the big chicken leg in her bowl and gestured.
Song Zhi nodded, picked up the chicken leg and took a few bites.
The chicken was stewed for quite some time, the meat was tender and boneless, and the chicken soup was rich and although light, it was very delicious.
However, Song Zhi was not very hungry. He ate a chicken leg, drank a bowl of soup, and then put down his bowl and chopsticks.
She looked at the remaining full bowl of chicken soup and said, "I can't eat any more. You can share the rest."
Last night, three people took care of her all night. Looking at the bruises under their eyes, Song Zhi felt grateful but also a little guilty.
"This is stew for you. Drink it. We've eaten, so you won't be hungry now."
None of the three wanted to drink the chicken soup.
Hearing this, Song Zhi helplessly advised: "This weather can't be kept, you have worked hard to take care of me, and I have to trouble you again for a while. If you don't drink, I'll be embarrassed to let you take care of me anymore."
The three of them looked at each other for a while. Song Zhi had already said this, and they couldn't refuse anymore. They had to each serve a small bowl of chicken soup, but no one touched the chicken.
Song Zhi knew that they wanted to keep all the meat for themselves.
"Eat some meat." She could only say again.
At her signal, the three of them ate a small piece of chicken each, and then said, "We are not hungry, and we can't eat this."
Seeing them like this, Song Zhi was helpless, but no matter what she said, the three of them were determined not to touch the chicken soup.
This old hen soup was hard to come by, so they naturally wanted to leave it for Song Zhi to nourish his body.
She had just given birth and was at a critical time where she needed to take good care of herself.
Song Zhi kept all their friendships in his heart.
Naturally, she knew where this chicken came from. She secretly couldn't help but look at Ran Qiu and kept this favor in mind.
"I have a jar of sliced ginseng in my cupboard. Zhengqing, go get it and share it with me."
She had prepared these in advance by taking them out from the supermarket.
The three of them knew that this was Song Zhi's good intention. They looked at each other and did not refuse.
They naturally don't need to use ginseng slices to nourish their bodies, but they can be used to nourish Song Zhi.
