After New Year’s Day, a telegram came from Anze.
Pang Xiuni gave birth to a boy.
Qiu Shushen counted the days and had been planning to go over in the next few days, but after receiving the telegram, she immediately left without stopping.
Naturally, An Bohuai followed suit.
Xiao Zheng came back that day and didn't see Qiu Shushen, so he asked, "Where's mom?"
An Hua answered, "I guess she will come after my sister-in-law finishes her confinement."
Xiao Zheng: "Mom, don't you really dislike your sister-in-law? Why are you still going to take care of her during her confinement?"
An Hua: "That was in the past. It's much better now. Besides, my sister-in-law has cut off contact with her family, and there's no one to help her. Confinement is a big deal for a woman. Even if mom still dislikes her like before, she won't ignore her."
"Mom." Dongdong came running over, holding a homework book in his hand, showing it to Anhua like a treasure, "This is Xiaotuanzi doing multiplication and division, and he got all ten questions right!"
An Hua took it and looked at it, then said with a smile: "Really? Our little Dumpling is really smart."
Xiao Zheng also took a look and said, "Oh, two-digit multiplication and division! Doesn't the Yuhong class teach singing and dancing, and learn Chinese pinyin?"
An Hua glared at him, "You don't know this, right? Tuantuan could recite the multiplication table and recognize a few Chinese characters before he entered the Yuhong class. You can even hold a brush and write like a pro."
Xiao Zheng was stunned, "Is it true or false?"
An Hua smiled proudly, "This is the learning foundation inherited from our An family."
Xiao Zheng was even more proud than An Hua, "That's great, it's just the right time to improve our Xiao family's foundation."
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of "thump thump thump" sounds were heard.
Yuanyuan crawled out from the ground holding the wooden machine gun that Xiao Zheng made for her...
"Dad, mom, and brother, hold on, Yuanyuan is here to save you!"
Little boy Yuanyuan looked like he was in a movie, with a tragic look on his face. After firing for a while, he lowered his head and took out a walnut from his trouser pocket. He made a gesture of opening his mouth to pull the fuse of a grenade, and threw the walnut out in a flash.
"Bang--"
She also added her own explosion sound effect.
"Hold on, Yuanyuan will attack us soon—"
When she finally crawled to her parents' feet, Yuanyuan finally stood up and said excitedly: "Dad, mom, brother, it's great that you are still alive. Yuanyuan will save you."
Dad, Mom, Brother: "......"
Xiao Zheng rubbed his face.
It’s over, what should I do? He seemed to see the shadow of his childhood in Yuanyuan!
After An Hua realized what was happening, she cooperated with her daughter. She held her daughter's hand and said in a pinched voice, "Oh, Mom is so scared. Yuanyuan, you finally came to save Mom. Take me out now!"
Yuanyuan Zheng nodded, "Mom, follow me, I will lead you out."
An Hua followed her daughter and ran in circles around the room...
Xiao Zheng's expression also changed from being stunned to being in tears and laughter.
After Yuanyuan was finally tired from playing, he pulled Anhua away and said to her, "You're still indulging her. She's becoming more and more like a tomboy."
An Hua: "What's wrong with being a tomboy? Being able to run and jump shows that you have good physical fitness."
Xiao Zheng looked at her with a smile, "Don't you mind that she's as rough as me?"
An Hua stood on tiptoe and kissed Xiao Zheng on the corner of his mouth, "I just love rough ones."
How could Xiao Zheng stand such teasing? He quickly pulled the girl into the bedroom, locked the door, and pressed her into his arms and kissed her passionately.
He didn't even have time to take off his military uniform. An Hua rested her head on the red collar badge, staring at his Adam's apple, her face dazed and charming.
But after all, it would be time for dinner soon, so the two of them didn't develop anything inappropriate for children.
Xiao Zheng went to change into his home clothes, saying, "This New Year, I want to go see my dad."
An Hua: "So when do you plan to get married? The first month of the year?"
Xiao Zheng thought for a moment and said, "The New Year's Day, at the latest the tenth day. I'll take Dongdong with me. The twins are too young so I won't take them with me. You don't have to go either. Just stay at home and take care of them."
An Hua didn't want to go at first, Xiao Zheng probably knew what she was thinking, so he said that.
"Will Dad be unhappy?"
"It's okay, it won't happen." Xiao Zheng touched his wife's face comfortingly.
Qiu Shushen and An Bohuai seemed to be having a good time in Anze. They sent a telegram saying that they wanted to stay there for the New Year.
However, this year An Hua called Xiao Xiaocui and Gao Zhe over, and with the addition of Xiao Fangfang's family, the place was not as deserted as in previous years.
This was the first time Gao Zhe was formally invited to his uncle’s house, and he felt that he was finally recognized by his uncle!
Didn’t Xiao Cui say before that Third Uncle was not satisfied with him?
Now is this satisfactory?
Gao Zhe was full of confidence and felt that his chance had come.
If he behaves well in front of his uncle, promotion is just around the corner!
Gao Zhe was both happy and nervous, so nervous that he was almost trembling.
During the meal, he toasted Xiao Zheng, and because of nervousness, he stuttered and called "division commander" as "chief of staff".
Xiao Zheng asked sternly, "You only have Lao Shi in your eyes, not me, your commander?"
Gao Zhe felt that he had caused trouble and wanted to make amends. He tremblingly said that he would drink three cups as a punishment, but his brain short-circuited at this moment and he actually picked up the bottle and drank it.
Everyone at the table was stunned. By the time they reacted, Gao Zhe had already drunk more than half of the bottle of wine.
Xiao Zheng shouted, "I just opened a bottle of Maotai and you ruined it!"
Xiao Xiaocui slapped Gao Zhe in dismay and snatched the remaining wine away, "You useless guy, my Third Uncle is not a tiger, why are you afraid of him?"
Gao Zhe burped and laughed.
It’s over. I drank too much.
An Hua quickly asked, "How are you, Gao Zhe? Are you okay? How about letting Xiao Cui help you go and take a rest?"
Xiao Xiaocui knew Gao Zhe's alcohol tolerance and knew that he was drunk, but she also knew that he would not get drunk and would just sleep when drunk. So Xiao Xiaocui helped Gao Zhe to lie down in the house, and waited until she was sure that Gao Zhe was asleep before leaving.
One of them got drunk before we even started eating.
However, the others were not affected and happily ate the reunion dinner.
Looking out the window, I saw that it was snowing outside at some point.
The room was filled with warmth.
Everyone toasted each other and imagined a beautiful year ahead.
Gao Zhe probably also dreamed of something wonderful, and he started to smile foolishly while sleeping, "Perform well and get a promotion..."
