When the children were more than 20 days old, Xiao Yihan's vacation came to an end.
The next day before going to work, he stood in front of the crib, looking at the five sleeping little ones with gentle eyes.
Doudou's little hands were still tightly grasping a corner of the quilt, and Dingding's two little hands were raised on both sides of his head as if surrendering.
The baby seemed to be sleeping with his eyes half open. I don’t know what kind of beautiful dream he had, but his little face was filled with a sweet smile.
Xiao Kexin lay there quietly like a little angel, sucking occasionally with her pink little mouth.
Xiao Yihan gently put Doudou's little hand into the quilt, tucked the quilt for Beibei, then stretched out his palm and gently stroked Xiao Kexin's face.
His eyes were filled with doting and reluctance, and he whispered softly, "Children, Daddy is going to work. You must be good and obedient and wait for Daddy to come back."
He leaned over and kissed Xiao Kexin gently on the forehead, then whispered to Chu Jingqiu: "Xiaoqiu, Ding Ding is a greedy little guy, remember not to let him eat too much.
Pat him well after he drinks and let him burp before he lies down so his stomach feels better."
He paused, then continued, "Also, if Kexin cries, let Auntie hold her. The child is still young, and crying for too long will make her voice hoarse."
Chu Jingqiu smiled and nodded, "Yihan, don't worry! I will take good care of the children, you can go back to work with peace of mind!"
Xiao Yihan held her in his arms, "Xiaoqiu, you are still in confinement, you should pay attention to rest more and don't overwork yourself, understand?"
Chu Jingqiu smiled and joked, "Yihan, why are you so nagging? I'm taking a hot spring bath every day now, and my body has recovered a long time ago, so don't worry!"
Xiao Yihan went to work reluctantly. On the way, he didn't know why, but the image of five children looking at him with their beautiful big eyes kept appearing in his mind.
What was most impressive was the sweet smile Xiao Kexin gave her. Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. He decided that at noon, he would make Xiao Qiu carry Xiao Kexin to the space so that he could hold her for a while.
Arriving at the office, he ran into Li Kunpeng, who was humming a song with a beaming smile. Seeing Xiao Yihan, he said with envy, "I heard that Deputy Commander Xiao's family gave birth to quintuplets. Congratulations!"
Xiao Yihan said politely, "Thank you for Captain Li's blessing! I heard that Captain Li is also getting married soon. I wonder when I can drink Captain Li's wedding wine?"
Upon hearing this, Li Kunpeng immediately smiled broadly. "It's coming soon. We plan to hold the wedding on May Day. Deputy Commander Xiao must come and have a drink at the wedding."
Xiao Yihan politely agreed and went to the office, where he saw Qi Yue writing something with his head down.
When Xiao Xu saw Xiao Yihan, he shouted happily, "Captain, you're here!"
After saying that, he looked Xiao Yihan up and down and said, "Captain, you seem to have gained weight and become whiter."
Xiao Yihan touched his face unconsciously, "Have you gained weight? No! I've been exercising all the time!"
Qi Yue put down the pen in his hand, moved closer to Xiao Yihan, circled around him, and said with a smile: "Brother, you know what, what Xiao Xu said is absolutely right, you are really white and fat, I suspect you must have secretly eaten your sister-in-law's confinement meal."
Xiao Yihan glanced at him and said, "Qi Yue, I did eat a lot of your sister-in-law's postpartum meals.
It's just that I didn't eat it secretly. Your sister-in-law really couldn't eat any more, so I helped her finish it because I didn't want it to be wasted. She would be unhappy if I didn't help her eat it."
Qi Yue curled his lips and said, "Brother, you love your wife so much that you have no bottom line. Just let her do whatever she wants!"
You ate her confinement meal, wouldn't that affect Xiao Kexin's milk supply? Seriously."
Xiao Yihan shook his head speechlessly, "Xiao Yue, don't blame your sister-in-law. The bowl your grandmother brought over was bigger than my head. We both ate together and we could barely finish it. If your sister-in-law had eaten alone, she would have died of fullness and still not been able to finish it."
Qi Yue asked in surprise, "Isn't the large orchid-shaped bowl that Grandpa used for his noodles the one Grandpa used for his noodles?"
Xiao Yihan nodded, "Yes, that kind of bowl. How about it, do you think your sister-in-law can finish it?"
Qi Yue hurriedly shook his head and said sympathetically, "That bowl is indeed not small. Every time I use that kind of bowl, I can only eat half a bowl at most. My sister-in-law definitely can't finish it. Only a glutton like Xiao Xu can finish it."
Xiao Xu pouted in dissatisfaction and said, "Captain Qi, how come I'm such a glutton! We guards can eat so much, Xiao Yu eats even more than me!"
In the military compound, Chu Jingqiu was holding little Kexin and feeding her when she heard a deafening cry coming from next door. Ding Ding was leading the cry.
Chu Jingqiu hurriedly put Xiao Kexin down and went to take a look next door. He found that several people next door were busy making milk powder.
Old Master Xiao grumbled in dissatisfaction: "What's going on? Why didn't you prepare cold boiled water in advance? As soon as Yi Han went to work, the house was like a war.
When will this hot water cool down? Look how hungry my little baby is.
Grandma Xiao also wiped the sweat from her forehead anxiously, "Yihan used to be responsible for preparing warm water, and I had long forgotten these trivial matters.
I will be responsible for preparing the cold water from now on. I can’t let the children suffer like this anymore. My dearest children, it really makes me sad!"
After saying this, his eyes turned red with heartache.
Grandpa He was holding a rattle in his hand and shaking it gently, trying to comfort the little ones. The little ones were so hungry that they didn't care about anything else. They still closed their eyes and opened their mouths wide, crying loudly.
Grandma He was also sweating anxiously. She was holding a large teacup filled with boiling water and was planning to go out and put it in a basin of cold water to cool it down quickly.
Chu Jingqiu stopped Grandma He in time. She brought over a large glass of spiritual spring water and said with a smile, "Grandma, Grandma, don't worry. I have some boiled water here. Use this to mix the milk powder!"
Actually, it’s okay for children to cry a bit. Don’t be so nervous. I read in a book that letting children cry a bit is good for their lung capacity!”
Grandma He glanced at the little ones with heartache and retorted, "You can't let the children cry like that. What if they get a hernia?"
With this cup of spiritual spring water, several people quickly prepared the milk powder. Everyone held their own baby and started feeding. The room suddenly became quiet, with only the gulping sounds of the little ones.
After the children had eaten, they all lay on their beds and started playing by themselves, babbling. Even little Kexin lay there quietly without crying or making any noise.
Grandpa He glanced at Xiao Kexin, his eyes full of doting. He smiled and said, "Our Xiaowu is really a sensible child. She seemed to know that the person holding her is not around, so she stopped crying. She is such a sensible and good child."
