Chapter 112
Zhang Chaoyang hardly slept, either because he was not sleepy or because he could not sleep.
Thinking about Xu Di, the children, and his grandmother, he really couldn't sleep.
When the familiar platform came into view, I felt more energetic.
This vacation came rather suddenly and no one knew he was coming back.
Sitting on the bus and listening to the familiar local accent, Zhang Chaoyang felt real. He was back.
"Hey, Chaoyang is back? Go back and see, your wife gave birth to a big fat girl for you."
"She's so clean and fair, she's really attractive."
The two grandmothers who had a good relationship with Grandma Qian excitedly talked to Zhang Chaoyang about his daughter.
"What a pity it's a girl. It would be great if it was a son!"
"I just like daughters. Daughters are like little cotton-padded jackets to their parents."
Zhang Chaoyang didn't want to hear this, so he replied unhappily and hurried home.
He has a daughter, hahaha…he has a daughter!
I was secretly happy in my heart, having a fair and chubby daughter, how wonderful!
I entered the unit door, climbed three steps at a time, and in the blink of an eye, I arrived at the door of my home.
I raised my hand and knocked on the door, my heart beating faster and I felt inexplicably nervous.
"Chaoyang, you're back? Aunt Qian, Xiaodi, Chaoyang is back!"
Aunt Wu opened the door and saw Zhang Chaoyang standing at the door and shouted happily.
"What, Chaoyang is back? Where is he? Is he really back?"
Grandma Qian was packing things in the house, wanting to make two pieces of clothing for Nuannuan to wear during the New Year.
Xu Di had just finished feeding Nuannuan. The little girl was still awake, so she came out holding the child.
"Chaoyang, why didn't you call me before you came back? Are you trying to surprise me?"
"Grandma, I just finished my mission and applied for leave. I didn't have time to call."
Zhang Chaoyang could just take leave, complete the formalities, buy a ticket and come back.
"Zhang Chaoyang, welcome back, right Nuannuan, welcome daddy home."
Looking at Xu Di holding the child at the bedroom door, Zhang Chaoyang's eyes suddenly became wet.
He took off his shoes, walked over slowly, and looked at Xu Di and her daughter from a distance of more than two meters.
"I was cold and dirty, and I hadn't showered in days. I just took a look, and then I went to the bathhouse to take a shower."
Zhang Chaoyang's voice was a little choked. When he left, the child had just settled in his wife's belly.
He came back and the baby was born.
Nuannuan was full but not sleepy yet. She looked at him with a pair of eyes that looked exactly like Zhang Chaoyang's.
"Daughter, I'm your father."
"Nuannuan, daddy is back. Let me introduce myself. This is your dad."
Nuannuan yawned and could hardly open her eyes. She was sleepy.
"Wife, go in and lie down quickly, don't stand. I'm going to take a shower and will be back soon."
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll get you some clothes."
Xu Di put the child into the crib and took out a new set of sweaters and trousers, a vest and shorts, and a new set of cotton-padded clothes and trousers from the closet.
These were made by Xu Di at the tailor shop after he brought back the cotton.
This year, the four members of their family all got new cotton coats and trousers.
He picked out another new set of clothes and pants, which Xu Di had chosen for Zhang Chaoyang when the department store was clearing out its stock.
If a man hands in his salary on time, he should at least have a new set of clothes and pants.
Xu Di put the clothes and pants into a bag and handed it to Zhang Chaoyang.
"I've made a new cotton coat and trousers for you. Put them on right after you take a shower."
"Thank you, wife, you are so kind!"
The last three words were spoken very quietly. Xu Di looked at Zhang Chaoyang and his ears turned red. He felt embarrassed for saying this to himself.
"Chaoyang, here's a bath ticket. Take a good bath and scrub yourself clean. Nuannuan is still young and Xiaodi is weak, so you need to be careful."
"I know, grandma, I'm going to take a shower. Aunt Wu, get me something to eat, I'm hungry."
Zhang Chaoyang took the train for more than ten hours and had nothing to eat.
I was so excited all the way that I couldn't eat or sleep.
"Got it, come back and cook noodles for me."
I have chicken soup at home, I’ll put a few cabbage leaves in it later. Hot and easy to digest.
Zhang Chaoyang soaked for a while, rubbed himself three times, and then wiped himself clean.
I opened the bag and took out the clothes my wife had prepared, and I felt warm inside.
New vest, trousers, sweater and trousers... everything is new from the inside out.
After changing into new clothes and shoes prepared by his wife, Zhang Chaoyang went to the barber shop, had his hair and beard shaved, and returned home feeling refreshed.
"Chaoyang, go talk to Xiaodi first. I'll cook noodles for you."
"Thank you Aunt Wu!"
Zhang Chaoyang didn't care about anything else and quickly went into the house.
"Did you finish washing?"
"Well, I also shaved my head and beard. I haven't cleaned my beard for more than ten days. I almost look like a wild man.
If it weren't for that military uniform, people on the train would have thought I was a homeless person.
Wife, you have worked hard, I'm sorry, thank you! "Zhang Chaoyang felt guilty because he didn't help Xu Di at all from pregnancy to childbirth.
"Don't blame yourself. At least you provided a seed."
Zhang Chaoyang was stunned and shocked by Xu Di's words.
"Ha ha……"
Xu Di was overjoyed, and Zhang Chaoyang was completely dumbfounded.
"Wife, you have become bad."
"If you feel guilty about staying here, you should behave well during your vacation."
"Well, from now on, I'll wash the diapers, I'll cook, and I'll do all the work."
Zhang Chaoyang knew that Xu Di was trying to comfort him, but what he said was a bit scary.
If he doesn't provide the seeds, won't something be wrong?
"Okay, grandma and Aunt Wu are both tired during this period. Comrade Zhang Chaoyang, I'll rely on you from now on."
“Make sure you complete the mission!
Wife, have you chosen a name for your daughter? What is her name? ”
He heard his wife calling her Nuannuan, but he wondered if it was her full name or her nickname?
"I haven't chosen a full name yet. I'll leave it for you to choose when you come back. My nickname was given by grandma, and it's Nuan Nuan.
The child was born in the morning, just as the sun came out. ”
"Nuan Nuan, it sounds so nice!
Wife, was the birth smooth? Was it painful? ”
"Yeah, it hurts a lot. I feel like I'm losing consciousness and my soul is leaving my body."
When Xu Di thought about it now, he still felt a little scared and shuddered involuntarily.
"Wife, we won't have any more children in the future. Just one warm child is enough."
Zhang Chaoyang felt Xu Di’s trembling just now. How painful it must be. So many days have passed, and the shadow is still there.
"Don't you want a son?"
"It doesn't matter whether it's a son or a daughter. Giving birth is too painful, and I can't be there to take care of you. One child is enough."
Zhang Chaoyang really doesn’t see any difference between boys and girls, they are all his own children.
"Nuannuan is too lonely, let's wait until she's older and then have another one.
No matter whether it is a boy or a girl, just have another one so that the two children can have a companion. ”
Xu Di thought, no matter what, the two children could discuss anything with each other.
In her previous life, she was lying in the hospital. If it weren't for her brother and sister-in-law, she wouldn't even have anyone to bring her food.
"You are not afraid of pain anymore. Just now when I mentioned it, you couldn't help but tremble. Just think about it and you will know how painful it is."
"So I have to wait until Nuannuan is older. By then, I might have forgotten the pain I felt."
Xu Di felt that two children were just right, neither more nor less.
Zhang Chaoyang didn't mention this matter again. When Nuannuan grows up, maybe Xu Di will give up this idea himself.
Looking at my daughter sleeping soundly on the crib, whose face looks 80% like mine, I feel the magic of life!
