Sometimes when she has nothing to do at home, she listens to the radio with Xiaobao. At first, she was the one who pulled Xiaobao to dance together.
When Xiao Bao was about one year old, he could already sit and rock back and forth, moving his neck.
Seeing that her little sister Xiaobao was jumping around happily, Lu Xiaozhao also swayed a couple of times.
Then he realized everyone was looking at him, so he stopped moving, smiled shyly, and seemed a little embarrassed.
The two children have completely different personalities.
Xiao Bao wasn't embarrassed at all; she just jumped even more enthusiastically, thinking that others were interacting with her.
After the meal, Xu Ruantang was practically asking Chen Ji to keep Xiao Bao by his side.
After the meal, Xu Ruantang volunteered to wash the dishes.
She can't cook, but she's always very enthusiastic about washing the dishes.
But someone was even more eager than her; Shen Qingwen and Lu Shishen rushed into the kitchen.
Shen Qingwen didn't want Li Shuhe to go wash the dishes because Li Shuhe was also going to do so.
Lu Shishen did it voluntarily.
He and Huan Yuanliang drank two bottles of baijiu (Chinese liquor), and Huan Yuanliang was already sprawled out on Wang Xiuxiu's sofa, unable to get up.
Although Lu Shishen's face was red and his neck was thick, he was still conscious.
In the end, he washed the dishes with Shen Qingwen.
People in the main room were chatting idly, and you could hear Lu Shishen, who was usually not very talkative, rambling on and on to Shen Qingwen.
After the two came out of the kitchen, Li Shuhe was about to go back.
"I've been feeling very tired and weak lately, so I'll head back now."
Li Shuhe felt a little embarrassed, but she really couldn't hold on any longer; her eyelids were drooping as she sat there.
Wang Xiuxiu handed her something, saying, "I understand, please go back now. You can't drink this, but you can take it home for your family to try."
She left a portion of the tea cake for Xu Ruantang, and naturally also left one for Li Shuhe.
The three of them are now good friends, and she won't show favoritism to any of them.
Li Shuhe didn't refuse and accepted the gift, saying, "Thank you, Sister Xiuxiu, I'm leaving now."
Shen Qingwen took the things from Li Shuhe's hands and then went out.
Just then, Lu Shishen sauntered out and said, "Dog Egg, come play again next time."
There was a moment of stillness in the air.
The group looked at each other, completely bewildered as to what was wrong with Lu Shishen.
Li Shuhe glanced at Shen Qingwen and then closed the door behind her.
As soon as they left, Lu Shishen slumped back onto the sofa, leaning against Huan Yuanliang shoulder to shoulder.
"Dog Egg!"
Xiao Bao, who was squatting on the ground playing with a small ball, suddenly imitated Lu Shishen's shout.
Xu Ruantang: "......."
Wang Xiuxiu asked, puzzled, "Where is Gou Dan?"
She knew the drunkard's words were unreliable, but she always felt that Xu Ruantang knew something.
Xu Ruantang smiled and said, "I don't know where Deputy Battalion Commander Lu heard it, but Shen Qingwen's nickname is Gou Dan (Dog Egg)."
This happened when she and Li Shuhe were bored at the lotus pond and started talking about it.
At that time, Xu Ruantang was thinking of Shen Qingwen's younger brother, Shen Ergou.
He then asked Li Shuhe, "Were Shen Qingwen's parents illiterate?"
Li Shuhe nodded, "Yes, they don't have the means. They're not very literate either; they're lucky if they can even write their own names."
Many people were like that back then, so it's not surprising.
What Xu Ruantang found strange was how someone who couldn't read could give Shen Qingwen such an elegant name.
Li Shuhe stared at Xu Ruantang for a long time before finally saying, "Before Shen Qingwen went to university, his name was actually Shen Gou Dan. He changed his name to Shen Qingwen himself."
Taking advantage of going to university, I also changed the name on my household registration book.
Thinking about it this way, it's not surprising.
The eldest brother is called Shen Gou Dan, and the second brother is called Shen Er Gou.
Lu Shishen, having heard it from somewhere, got drunk today and shouted it out in front of Shen Qingwen.
Fortunately, Shen Qingwen was not a short-tempered person and did not show it.
Speaking of this, Wang Xiuxiu had something to say: "If I had known, I would have changed my name too. Look at us, my name is the worst-sounding."
Her name in her previous life was also Wang Xiuxiu.
It's because the family didn't value it enough that they gave it such a hasty name.
The original owner's name wasn't chosen because it wasn't valued enough, but rather because such names were common in this era.
Then look at Lu Shishen, Xu Ruantang, and Li Shuhe, they sound much better.
Xu Ruantang couldn't help but ponder, wondering who had given her this name.
The original owner's parents were also uneducated; just look at her brother, Xu Sheng, to see.
It probably wasn't named by the original owner's parents.
"My name was probably given to me by my grandfather, since my parents weren't educated either."
Xu Ruantang joked with a smile.
She didn't want to mention the original owner's parents.
As for Chen Ji, needless to say.
Chen Ji mentioned that his name was also given to him by his grandfather, who was one of the founding generals of the Chen family.
It is derived from the idiom "继往开来" (jì wǎng kāi lái), which means to carry on the work of predecessors and pave the way for the future.
Building upon past achievements, we will forge a new era.
Xu Ruantang and Chen Ji didn't stay at Wang Xiuxiu's house for long either; Xiao Bao took a nap after lunch.
When they left Wang Xiuxiu's house, she was already fast asleep on Chen Ji's shoulder.
As for Huan Yuanliang, Chen Ji borrowed a phone from the community office with Huan Molin and called home.
His family driver arrived quickly to pick him up.
After seeing Huan Yuanliang off, the two took Xiaobao home.
Xu Ruantang first tidied up Xiaobao's new house.
There is baby formula, her favorite toys, new clothes, thick winter clothes, and so on.
Xu Ruantang packed her things one by one, with Chen Ji accompanying her.
"After we finish tidying up here and wait for Xiaobao to wake up, we'll go back to the compound. There's a lot of stuff there too."
Xu Ruantang said in a low voice.
Chen Ji looked at her with deep eyes and softly hummed in agreement.
"I'm fine, don't look at me, it makes me feel embarrassed."
Xu Ruantang put down the clothes in her hand, sighed, and then quickly smiled again.
Chen Jitai was so worried about her that he was almost concerned about her every breath, which made Xu Ruantang feel a little embarrassed.
This time, Chen Ji didn't listen to Xu Ruantang. Instead, he leaned closer and gave her a big hug.
Xu Ruantang wasn't good at emotional appeals and even found them a bit cheesy, so she pushed Chen Ji away.
Chen Ji was pushed away, and his face turned dark with shock.
"Are you saying you're disgusted with me?"
Xu Ruantang touched her nose and continued folding Xiaobao's clothes. "No way."
What she was thinking was the saying, "A kiss between a middle-aged couple can give you nightmares for several nights in a row."
As I thought about it, I burst out laughing.
They've only been married for less than two years! How could she have such thoughts?
Chen Ji's face darkened further. He pulled Xu Ruantang close and, ignoring her struggles, kissed her until she was breathless before finally letting go, satisfied. He then turned to pack Xiao Bao's things.
After Xiao Bao woke up, the three of them went back to the compound.
After packing up, I drove Xiaobao back to the Gao family home.
When they arrived at the Gao family's house, Chen Ji carried large and small bags, while Xu Ruantang held Xiao Bao in her arms.
Gao Baoliang hurriedly invited the two into the house.
"Commander, sister-in-law, please have a seat."
Gao Baoliang busied himself trying to greet them.
