Chapter 97

the next day.

After the family had a good breakfast, they went straight to change their household registration books.

From now on, Huo Yinuo and Huo Annuo will be Jiang Yinuo and Jiang Annuo.

Jiang Ke first stroked the two names for a while before looking at the children. He sighed in a hoarse voice, "Yinuo and Anuo, they were named by your father Jiang Jun."

Miaomiao nodded: "I know." Her parents had told her about her life story since the day she learned about it.

Hearing this, Jiang Kexian carefully put the household registration booklet into his inner pocket and at the same time calmed down his excitement.

He touched his granddaughter's head and said lovingly, "Grandpa still has work to do, so let Uncle Huajun drive you around.

After he finished speaking, Jiang Kexian looked at Huo Xiaoting, Hu Xiu and the other two and said gently, "Take a good look around. The capital is a good place."

Li Ting frowned: "You asked the guards to take us back, how are you going to get back?"

Hearing this, Jiang Kexian smiled and said, "I have a car to go back."

While the two were talking, the Chinese army had already waved its hands in one direction.

Then, in less than half a minute, another military vehicle drove out from the corner.

It was also at this time that she learned from her husband's whispered scientific knowledge that with her husband's current status, whenever he traveled, he would be followed by protection personnel.

"Okay, I have to go back. Have fun, and if you don't come back for dinner in the evening, call Xiao Yan and tell her not to cook for you." After being escorted into the car by the guards, Jiang Kexian did not forget to roll down the window and give a warning.

Huo Xiao: "If you are free in the evening, come back for dinner, and we'll come back." After all, the main purpose of coming to the capital this time was to let the children accompany their grandfather.

Hearing this, Jiang Kexian smiled and said, "Okay, take the kids out for a good meal at noon, and then go home for dinner in the evening."

"......"

The capital is a good place.

From the Great Wall to Taipei, from the Forbidden City to Yihe Garden, and from zoos to university campuses.

The group visited all the places that were accessible, leaving behind traces of laughter and fun, which they treasured in rolls of photos.

Of course, this period did not dampen the women's shopping enthusiasm at all.

Not to mention the huge subsidy from their father, they themselves are not short of money, so naturally they have to shop a lot.

What made her happiest was that this trip to Beijing not only broadened the children's horizons, but also built up their confidence.

Because the children meet foreigners almost every day.

From being nervous at first to being able to talk confidently later.

The days are fulfilling and time passes quickly.

As if in the blink of an eye, separation comes again.

After a week of spending time together, the children had developed an attachment to their grandfather who doted on them.

Look, at the entrance of the train station, the older dragon and phoenix fetuses are fine, at most they can wipe away their tears.

The youngest, Nian Nian, cried for a long time while clinging to her grandfather, just like when she came back from her hometown and hugged her grandparents and cried.

Everyone coaxed her and assured her that they would be back soon, and only then did the little girl let go of the man sobbingly.

"Uncle Jiang, please don't see me off." After a few days, the two compartments were no longer unfamiliar. Huo Xiao held the crying little girl in his arms, gently coaxing her along her back, while urging the old man who wanted to follow the platform to see someone off to go back.

Just kidding, if the old man was really allowed in, the train station would be so crowded that the guards following him would probably be worried sick.

Having the same idea as her husband, Tingting smiled and advised, "Yes, Uncle Jiang, we can come back during the summer vacation. I'm afraid you will get fed up with the kids around you every day."

Hearing this, and thinking of the scene of his grandchildren hanging around his knees, Jiang Ke smiled first, reached out and touched each of the children, repeatedly assured them that he would not dislike them but only like them, then sighed and said, "Then I won't go in. Be careful on the road, and call me when you get there."

Huo Xiao nodded: "Don't worry."

The two talked for a while longer, and only said goodbye when there were only about twenty minutes left before the train arrived at the station.

"Old Jiang is still standing. It's good for him to come to Beijing to settle down. It's not easy for him to live alone." After walking a distance, the soft-hearted Hu Xiu looked back at the exit and found that Jiang Kexian was still standing there looking at this side. He couldn't help but sigh.

It was also during this visit that Hu Xiucai learned that Lao Jiang had four children in his lifetime.

One of the children could not stand up until he was three years old.

The other two died on the battlefield before they even got married.

The only son who was married and had children, Jiang Jun, was also persecuted when he was in his twenties.

Coupled with the early death of his wife, Lao Jiang's life can simply be described as miserable.

Hearing their mother's words, Huo Xiao and Lu Ting turned their heads at the same time.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the train station was crowded with people coming in and out.

There are travelers who are bent over by their burdens and staggering, there are relatives who are hugging each other and bidding farewell, and there are young people who are full of longing for a new world...

It was clearly a bustling scene, but the old man standing at the exit seemed to be in a lonely world of his own.

Ruting sighed secretly and asked the children to wave goodbye to their grandfather.

Then, not surprisingly, I saw the other person raise his hand and wave it with a happy smile.

When she turned around again, she whispered, "Come over as soon as summer vacation starts."

Huo Xiao: "...Okay."

There is a direct train from Beijing to Tianjing.

So after more than a day, we arrived at Tianjing Railway Station.

Because I called security guard Wu Xiaojun before leaving.

So, after the group got off the bus dragging their bags, they got directly into the jeep.

After more than two hours of bumpy ride, this journey of nearly a month finally came to an end in the evening two days before school started.

In the family compound, all the family members have good relationships with others.

As soon as the car drove in, the military dependents who heard the noise came over with smiles on their faces.

Everyone was curious about what the capital city looked like.

Although she was a little tired from the continuous running around, Hu Xiu, who felt that she was enjoying the blessing of her son and daughter-in-law, had a special desire to share.

So, after sending the tired-looking daughter-in-law back to the house to rest, he moved a small stool and started chatting and laughing with everyone.

Well, it was only half an hour, and she went back to her room to clean up after only half an hour, Hu Xiu said to herself in her heart...

Inside the house, Tang Wenlan, who was walking back with Ruiting, took out the key from her pocket and returned it to him: "I see that you have lost a lot of weight. This trip must have been quite exhausting."

Hearing this, Lu Ting subconsciously touched his cheek. Just as he was about to say that he seemed to have lost a few pounds, he was shocked by how clean the room was.

She reacted quickly, looking at Wen Lan's sister-in-law with helplessness and gratitude: "I left the key to you to help me look after the livestock and plants, why are you also helping to clean up? I feel so embarrassed."

Tang Wenlan waved her hands: "What's there to be embarrassed about? I'm just dusting. Besides, I'm not the only one here. Tang Jing is here to help, too."

Jue Ting was surprised: "Jing Jing didn't go to the third group to accompany Dong Xiao?"

"I went, but Tang Jing is a doctor, it's not good for her to rest all the time."

Hearing this, Tingting rubbed his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Yeah, I'm confused."

Tang Wenlan expressed her understanding: "You are probably tired. I see your face is a little pale. Why don't you take a nap first? By the way, I have made dinner. How about we have dinner in an hour?"

The two families were really good friends, and since they were home, they had relaxed a bit. Ruting was really tired, so she said, "Then I won't be polite to my sister-in-law... I brought a gift for my sister-in-law, it's a specialty of the capital, I'll give it to you after I take a nap."

Being remembered by others is something worth being happy about. Tang Wenlan said happily, "Don't worry, don't worry, just relax for a while."

What the caller didn't expect was...

She slept until eight o'clock the next morning, when she woke up because she was hungry.

Huo Xiao was sitting at the desk reading a book and watching over his wife. When he heard the noise, he immediately turned around and looked over: "Are you awake? Are you hungry?"

Tingting was still a little confused until her husband sat down beside the bed and put two pillows on her back. Then she came to her senses: "I'm hungry. What time is it?"

Huo Xiao was touched by his confused wife's teasing. He raised his hand to smooth her messy long hair and said, "It's already eight o'clock the next morning."

...?! After being shocked for a while, Ruting was speechless and said, "You mean... I slept for more than ten hours?"

Huo Xiao: "Yes, I couldn't wake you up last night. I must have been too tired."

At this point, the man squeezed his wife's soft hand and said apologetically, "I was careless."

Ruting pulled her hand out, pinched the man's cheek, and said with a smile: "I'm such an adult, how can I not know whether I'm tired or not? Well... Although I'm a little tired, I had a lot of fun, didn't I?"

Hearing this, Huo Xiao's brows softened and he raised his hand, ready to pinch his wife's cheek.

Unexpectedly, seeing the man's intention, she covered her face with her hands and said in a vague and nagging voice: "I'm hungry, I need to eat, or I'll faint if I don't eat."

After hearing this, even though he knew it was exaggerated, Huo Xiao gave up the idea of ​​"fighting back" and picked up the clothes to help his wife put them on.

The corners of her mouth twitched: "I can put it on by myself."

Huo Xiao laughed out loud: "Aren't you going to faint from hunger? I'll help you put it on."

1. The...

"Mom, how are you?"

"Mom, are you too tired?"

"mother..."

When she went out to wash up, she found that the children were still at home.

She touched the little ones around her one by one and said with a smile, "Mom is fine. You'll be full of energy again after a good sleep!" As she said this, she even made a Popeye gesture to comfort the little ones.

Understanding what this action meant, the three children laughed out loud.

Huo Xiao also soothed her, "Go play. Mom has to brush her teeth, wash her face, and eat breakfast."

Hearing this, Miaomiao sensibly took her sister to the living room.

Guoguo couldn't sit still, so he took a toy gun he brought back from Beijing and went out to find his friends to play with.

When Li Ting came out after washing up, Huo Xiao had already served her breakfast.

White porridge, steamed buns, and salted duck eggs.

After drinking two mouthfuls of porridge, she cracked the egg shell, took out the egg yolk and mixed it with the porridge.

At this time, Hu Xiu brought a bowl of chicken soup to her daughter-in-law and said, "Drink some soup to replenish your body. Look at how pale your face is."

Tingting was surprised: "I was wondering why it smells so good, but...drinking chicken soup so early in the morning?"

Hu Xiu: "That's nothing. Just drink a few more sips of the porridge. The rest will be given to Xiao, and you drink this." As he said this, he pushed the large bowl towards his daughter-in-law.

Seeing this, Ruting did not refuse: "Thank you, Mom... By the way, I have to go to work tomorrow. Let's treat Jingjing and Sister Lan to dinner tonight?"

Hu Xiu: "Of course I have already bought the food."

Ruting gave her mother-in-law a thumbs up and said, "My mother is so reliable."

Hu Xiu was pleased: "That's right, drink the soup quickly, or you'll get cold."

Li Ting nodded, scooped a spoonful of soup into her mouth, but she didn't expect that after just two mouthfuls, her stomach started to churn...

Then, with a "bang", she pushed the stool away and ran straight to the bathroom.

Huo Xiao reacted the fastest and followed immediately.

Hu Xiu was stunned for a moment.

Then, as if she had thought of something, she was surprised and happy, and she grabbed her two granddaughters who wanted to go with her: "Hey, don't go, Mommy is fine."

There was no sign of worry on grandma's face. Instead, she looked happy and she quickly calmed down.

She first held her sister, whose eyes were red and her mouth was pouting, in her arms, then looked up and asked, "Grandma, is this a good thing?"

Hu Xiu was pacing back and forth excitedly. Hearing this, he realized, "Yes, it's possible... ahem... I'm not sure yet. We'll know after the test."

Miaomiao is usually smart, and after combining the situations in the two rooms, she quickly made a guess.

However, as grandma said, she was not sure yet, so she did not ask, but instead focused her attention on her crybaby sister.

At this moment, Ruiting vomited out everything he had just drunk and came back to life.

Huo Xiao had some doubts in his heart, and was also worried that Tingting was just feeling unwell. After all, they had been using contraception.

He handed the warm water to his wife to rinse her mouth, and then washed the towel.

Ruiting spread out a hot towel and covered her face with it for a few breaths.

After it was taken away, she got over her shock and looked at her husband who was hesitant to speak: "Let's go to the hospital, it could be stomach discomfort." Although her period was delayed for a few days, she was not particularly accurate and had been delayed before.

As a husband, Huo Xiao naturally knew that his wife's daily life was irregular.

So he nodded, washed the towels and hung them up, then watched his wife drink half a bowl of porridge before leading them to the health station.

"She's pregnant, 35 days." After a simple examination, Tang Jing gave her conclusion.

Actually...she's really pregnant?

Ruting and her husband looked at each other, both confused.

In fact, Huo Xiao has never wanted a second child over the years.

Li Ting once wanted to, but after all, she was still a child at that time, and her relationship with the dragon and phoenix twins was not particularly deep.

Deep down in her heart, she always felt that Niannian was an only child.

But after spending more time with them, she felt that Miaomiao and Guoguo were no different from her biological children, so she gave up the idea.

But I never thought that after so many years, I would still be pregnant despite using contraception...

35 days...that is to say, it existed before you returned home?

When she thought about running around for the past month, she felt dizzy... This kid is really lucky.

Seeing the couple's bewildered expressions, Tang Jing smiled and joked, "Are you two so happy that you've gone crazy?"

Li Ting came back to her senses, not knowing how to express her feelings: "It's... quite unexpected, right?" The last question was directed at her husband.

Huo Xiao, who was also in a state of confusion, nodded: "...Yes."

Tang Jing was so amused: "Alright, alright, you two are just so happy, go back quickly, I have a patient here."

Hearing this, Lu Ting, who had regained some of her rationality, stood up and did not forget to invite him: "Come to my house for dinner tonight, let's have a good time together. I brought you a gift, as well as gifts from your daughter and your husband."

Tang Jing nodded: "I'll call Dong Xiao later and ask him to come back when he has time."

Ruting: "OK."

The child came unexpectedly.

But after the confusion and surprise faded away, joy gradually emerged.

Huo Xiao carefully escorted his wife all the way home, and saw his mother and children waiting at the door from a distance.

Seeing his son's careful and cautious look, Hu Xiu knew the result.

She was so happy that she couldn't help laughing.

But I was worried that it would be difficult to publicize it in the first three months, so I just held it in.

It was not until his son and daughter-in-law entered the house and sat down on the sofa that he handed them a cup of maltose and asked happily, "Are you pregnant?!"

"It's been 35 days." Li Ting took the teacup and curled her eyes.

"That's great, that's great!" What elder wouldn't like to have many children and grandchildren? Hu Xiu was so happy.

But after the joy, she felt sorry for her daughter-in-law's previous suffering, and hurriedly said, "I remember that summer, Lihua pickled plums. Tingting, wait a minute, I'll go ask if there are any left. Eat two before dinner."

After saying this, she hurried out without even taking off her apron...

Seeing this, Guoguo, who was having fun with his friends and was inexplicably called back by his sister, asked in confusion: "What 35 days? Why is grandma so happy?" He laughed so hard that his teeth burst out.

"Stupid!" Miaomiao rolled her eyes at her brother, then looked at her mother: "Mom, are you going to give birth to a little brother in nine months?"

Tingting curled her eyes and said, "After more than eight months, it may not be a little brother, it may also be a little sister."

Miaomiao is very considerate: "Brother or sister is fine." As long as mom is safe.

After understanding that his mother was pregnant, Guoguo jumped up and down excitedly: "I want a younger brother, I want a younger brother."

Niannian immediately protested: "I want a sister, Mom, I want a sister!"

Guo Guo turned to look at her sister: "You are the sister yourself, this time you want a brother."

Niannian was not fooled: "I am your sister, not my own sister. Anyway, I want a sister. My sister can wear a flowery dress with me."

Guoguo's head was swollen from being tangled up, and she frowned and said, "I want a brother!"

Nian Nian pouted: "I want a sister!"

"I want a brother!"

"I want a sister!"

"Brother... um..."

Miaomiao covered her brother's mouth and muffled his voice: "Shut up, stop making noise!"

Fruit...

With someone supporting her waist, Niannian giggled and hid behind her sister, then poked her head out and said in a show of authority, "I want a younger sister!"

Fruit...

Seeing her son getting so angry that he wanted to strangle her little daughter, a more genuine joy gradually arose in her heart.

She...is really going to be a mother again.

Thinking of this, she turned to look at her husband again.

Then, not surprisingly, I met a pair of dark eyes filled with love.

Ting Ting leaned slightly to the side, and placed her weight on the man. She watched the children laughing and playing, and her peach blossom eyes gradually curved into a beautiful arc: "Brother...you are so nice."

Huo Xiao stretched out his arms, put one hand on his wife's shoulders, and gently placed the other hand on her belly, his eyebrows and eyes softened: "Well... that's great."
