Jiang Yuzhu, holding the child, looked at Xu Lei in surprise.
Jiang Yuzhu didn't expect that their separation would come so soon.
"I'm sorry!" Xu Lei suddenly felt very sorry for his wife.
He is out on a mission, and it must be very hard for his wife to take care of the children alone.
"No need to say sorry, this is my choice and I don't regret it." Jiang Yuzhu is not someone who escapes when faced with difficulties.
Since I have chosen to become a military wife, I have to continue walking the thorny road ahead.
She...was just worried about Xu Lei.
I don't know why, but I've been feeling restless lately.
Jiang Yuzhu forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself and my son. Don't worry about the family."
I don’t want Xu Lei to be distracted.
Jiang Yuzhu concealed her emotions.
"How about... I ask someone to send you and the child back to your parents' home for a while?"
Xu Lei hugged his wife in his arms with heartache. Yuzhu was only twenty years old, and she was still a child herself, and she had to take care of a younger one.
"Oh, it's okay. Don't worry about us. I've been taking good care of my son recently. Besides, we have the help of Zhang's sister-in-law and the political commissar's sister-in-law."
"It would be troublesome to meet my mother. The child is still young. I don't want to bother her. I don't want her to get sick again."
"Back home, everyone's child, Jiang Yuxiu has given birth now, and my sister-in-law is pregnant. Mom is busy enough, so I won't go back."
Jiang Yuzhu's deepest reason was that she didn't want to miss any news about Xu Lei.
She was at home with her child, and she was the first to know when Xu Lei came back.
"Okay, if you don't want to go back, then don't go back. Just wait for me at home." Xu Lei hugged Jiang Yuzhu tightly, quickly packed up some things and left.
Mrs. Zhang came over to take a look.
"Your Xu Lei has left too, right?"
"Tell me about these men. They just walk away and leave their homes to us women. Yuzhu, it's okay. You're still young. People like me have experienced a lot and are used to it."
"If I'm gone for a long time and come back suddenly, my kids and I won't be able to adapt!"
Jiang Yuzhu smiled, "Sister-in-law, I'm fine."
"Oh, that's right. Whether this man is at home or not, we should live our lives well. If you need anything, just call me. It's nearby, and I can hear you if I shout."
Mrs. Zhang was worried that Jiang Yuzhu would have trouble raising the child on her own.
Before her husband left, he also told her to take better care of Xu Lei's wife. How could she not know that, so she hurried over to check on him.
Jiang Yuzhu knew what Zhang's sister-in-law meant, "Sister-in-law, thank you."
"Hey, what are we thanking each other for?"
With Mrs. Zhang around, time passed quickly while we chatted.
After Mrs. Zhang left, Jiang Yuzhu made lunch.
After lunch, Jiang Yuzhu hugged her son and took a nap.
When I woke up again, it was already an hour later.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Xu Yifei's big round eyes looking at her, and he was making babbling sounds from his mouth. She didn't know what he was happy about.
"Let mom give you a kiss, my son is so cute!" After becoming a mother, Jiang Yuzhu found that her maternal love was overflowing.
Every time I see my son’s cute look, I can’t help but give him a few kisses.
Picking up her son, she said, "Mom is awake, it's time for us to eat."
I fed my son, changed his diaper, washed his diaper, played with him for a while, and soon it was evening.
The days passed one by one.
"Yuzhu, you need to take care of the vegetables in your yard, otherwise they will get old." Jiang Yuzhu had to take care of the children and had no time to think about tending the vegetable garden.
Mrs. Zhang and the political commissar's wife came to help, and several children also came.
"Come in quickly."
"Oh, don't go in. We came here to help you with the garden. You have to take care of the children, so you don't have time for these things."
"Just stay in the house and take care of the kids. You don't have to worry about what's happening outside."
Mrs. Zhang was no stranger to this. She rolled up her sleeves and went into the garden to start picking beans.
"Yuzhu, you can't finish these beans, so you'll have to dry them later. The same goes for the long beans."
"By the way, doesn't Yuzhu like to eat sour beans? It's just right to pickle them."
Zhang's sister-in-law and the political commissar's sister-in-law were discussing how to clean up the vegetables in Yuzhu's vegetable garden.
Xu Lei is not at home, and Yuzhu's child is young and needs to be left alone, so how could she have the time to do it? Besides, Yuzhu doesn't seem to know how to do it.
If Xu Lei was at home, it wouldn't be their turn.
Now that Xu Lei is not at home, they will help if they can.
"Sister-in-law, you are so kind." Jiang Yuzhu was very touched.
It’s not that she isn’t anxious, but she is also worried about her child. What if he accidentally falls?
These past two days, the child obviously wanted to turn over. He often pushed himself forward and tried hard. I guess he will be able to turn over soon.
People say that after three flips, six sits, seven rolls, eight crawls, and a week, you will be able to walk.
Jiang Yuzhu dare not be careless.
I didn’t expect that my two sisters-in-law were so thoughtful and came over to help her with the work.
Who wants to work more? Wouldn’t it be better to take more rest during the work?
"That's nothing. We're both so much older than you. Isn't it our responsibility to take care of Xu Lei when he's not home?"
"That's right, you're only a few years older than my eldest girl. In my eyes, you're just like a child."
"Besides, our old man Jiang has instructed me. If I don't take good care of you, I will not have done my job as the political commissar's family member properly."
The political commissar's wife started joking.
"Thank you, too, Political Commissar and Battalion Commander Zhang. I know you both care about us. When Xu Lei comes back, let's have a meal together."
"Okay, we won't be polite to you then."
There is strength in numbers. In less than half a day, Jiang Yuzhu's yard was cleaned up.
The vegetables that should be harvested have been harvested, those that should be dried have been dried, and those that should be pickled have been pickled. There are also tomatoes, eggplants and peppers, so they can be eaten for a while.
At night, there was a strong wind.
The scratches on the window made a whistling sound, as if someone was knocking on the door.
Although Jiang Yuzhu was very scared, she was a mother and hugged her child tightly.
Woo woo wow wow…
The child seemed very uneasy and kept crying.
Jiang Yuzhu's eyes were red as she held the child and coaxed him.
"Jiang Yuzhu, Jiang Yuzhu!"
An urgent knock on the door frightened Jiang Yuzhu so much that her heart began to pound.
"Don't be afraid, baby, mom is here."
After putting the child in bed and tucking him in the quilt, Jiang Yuzhu put on her raincoat and went to open the door.
"Are you back?"
"Where's Xu Lei?"
When Jiang Yuzhu saw Lu Hongming, her heart skipped a beat.
It was as if there was a bell ringing in her head, and with a bang, it struck her hard, leaving her dazed.
