Xiao Zheng's roar came from upstairs, and then Xiao Yuer ran downstairs, shouting as he ran: "Daddy, hello, Xiao Yuer's kindness was taken for granted..."
An Hua went upstairs in confusion, pushed open the door, and saw Xiao Zheng sitting there with an angry look on his face.
"What happened?"
"That little bastard..." Xiao Zheng shamelessly recounted what Xiao Yuer had done, "He said he saw you giving me... at noon. Is that true? Anyway, I was half asleep and don't remember anything."
An Hua understood what he said, and an embarrassed look appeared on her face, "This child must have seen it wrong..."
Ignoring Xiao Yu'er for the moment, An Hua asked Xiao Zheng, "How are you? Are you feeling better?" Then she touched his forehead, "Yeah, the fever is gone."
Xiao Zheng touched his clothes and said, "I sweat a lot, and my body is sticky. I need to go wash."
"Don't wash it yet, just wipe it with a hot towel. I'll get you some water."
Xiao Zheng's illness came and went quickly, and he was basically recovered after a good night's sleep.
An Hua brought out the porridge and side dishes. When Xiao Zheng smelled the aroma of the porridge, his stomach growled loudly.
Xiao Yuer joked with his father, "Dad's stomach is playing the empty city trick."
Xiao Zheng snorted, "Do you know what the Empty City Plan is?"
Xiao Yuer straightened his chest and said, "I know! The Empty City Plan was invented by Zhuge Liang, and it drove back Sima Yi's army."
Xiao Zheng smiled slightly, but when he thought about what this kid had just done, his face darkened again.
"Don't do that again, understand?"
"What kind?"
Xiao Zhengqi.
"That's the kind you do when you lift up your clothes... This is being a hooligan, understand? Don't do it again, not at home, and definitely not outside, remember?"
Seeing his father's serious expression, Xiao Yuer, although he didn't quite understand, still felt that "he did something wrong and shouldn't do this again".
"Got it." Xiao Yuer said obediently.
Xiao Zheng's expression eased a little, and he continued, "Everything you see at home, especially between mom and dad, you can't talk about it outside. Do you hear me?"
Xiao Yuer nodded again, "Okay, Dad, I won't tell you anything."
Xiao Zheng smiled with relief.
This child is sometimes a bit of a headache, but overall he is still lovable.
Xiao Zheng's illness came and went quickly. By the evening, he was full of energy, except that his throat was still a little hoarse and he coughed occasionally.
An Hua cooked him a bowl of bird's nest with Sichuan Fritillary Bulbs and snow pear.
"This stuff is for women to drink. I won't drink it." Xiao Zheng turned his head away in disgust.
"......It moisturizes the lungs and relieves coughs!" An Hua's face fell and she asked, "I worked so hard to cook it just for you. Do you want to drink it or not?"
"Don't be angry, I'll drink it..." Xiao Zheng took the bird's nest reluctantly, threw away the spoon inside, tilted his head back, and drank it all in two gulps.
.......Forget it, at least I drank it.
"Wife, I slept too much during the day, so I won't sleep at night and go to the study to work."
An Hua disagreed, "Even if you can't sleep, just lie in bed. The disease is like a thread being pulled out, so you should conserve your energy and don't waste too much energy."
"No need, I'm full of energy!"
An Hua simply said, "But I want you to accompany me. I can't sleep without you."
Xiao Zheng softened and agreed cheerfully, "Okay then."
Alas, what can I do? His wife can’t live without him!
Xiao Zhengbei's illness attracted many people to visit him, but he went to work in high spirits early the next morning, and all the visitors were disappointed.
An Hua had to deal with these people.
"Deputy Director Xiao is so busy that he has worn himself out. We, the people under him, feel so bad for him... My husband even said that he has no other strengths except that he is in good health. I wish he could be replaced by Deputy Director Xiao!"
"But speaking of it, few people can stand the intensity of Deputy Commander Xiao's work. Since this month, he has held meetings every few days, either in the military region or in the capital. Even the strongest person can't stand it."
"That's right, my man is not as good as Deputy Commander Xiao. He has been sick for three days since the military reform was announced. I laughed at him and thought he was about to become a sickly jar..."
Hearing this, An Hua raised her eyebrows.
Xiao Zhengyi is ill, and it is not wrong for the family members of his subordinates to visit him, but it is not normal for only the family members to come. This is obviously an excuse to talk to her.
As for the purpose of talking to her, it was probably just to get some information or to ask for something.
When An Hua heard the word "military reform", she had a rough idea in her mind.
It was announced some time ago that there would be military reforms, but the specific method of the reforms is still unknown.
It's just a pity that they couldn't get any useful information from An Hua, because An Hua seldom talked to Xiao Zheng about his work in private, let alone such a big national event.
So An Hua didn't have to pretend not to know, because she really didn't know.
Seeing that they could not find out anything, those people could only leave in disappointment.
After Xiao Zheng came, An Hua told him about this. Xiao Zheng carefully asked who they were, and finally said, "Don't worry about them. They are still not satisfied with their work every day, so they have such idle thoughts. If they have the energy to inquire about the news, isn't it better to keep their work good than anything else? Humph!"
An Hua changed the subject and asked about his health.
Xiao Zheng chuckled and said, "It's all healed, no problem at all. Your man's physique is strong, isn't it?"
An Hua glanced at him with a smile, "Strong, no one is stronger than you."
Xiao and the other man chatted and laughed as the night deepened.
***
Time quickly came to the end, and the family welcomed a big happy event.
The first thing Xiao Nai said when he led He Congyun into the house was: "Dad, Mom, I have good news to tell you."
An Hua was stunned and said, "Are you going to say that Xiaojun is pregnant?"
Xiao Nai smiled and said, "Yes, you are going to become grandparents."
