I was so grateful to receive such a thoughtful gift of bird's nest and sea cucumber from Aunt He. The weather isn't hot now, so Yun Jin can still eat them. But when it gets hot, since we don't have a refrigerator at home, the cooked food won't keep for too long.
Yun Jin called He's mother to express her gratitude and also asked for He Ximei's phone number, then called her.
After talking to her sister-in-law, He Ximei discovered that her sister-in-law was not the kind of country bumpkin she had imagined who was clumsy and reserved. Judging from her tone, she didn't seem like she came from the countryside at all.
He speaks very politely, and it's very pleasant to listen to him.
In any case, He Ximei thought he was a very good at handling things.
That's true. If she didn't know how to handle things, her mother wouldn't have cooked bird's nest and sent it to that person.
She also enjoyed the good life, drinking bird's nest for two days and eating three sea cucumbers.
Of course, her sister-in-law also has one.
Thinking of her sister-in-law's face, He Ximei shook her head. If her sister-in-law continued to be petty and didn't know when to stop, her parents would probably have other ideas without her saying anything.
It's just a little bird's nest and sea cucumber, it's not worth much money. Doesn't she think about who arranged those jobs for her family members? If it weren't for her parents arranging them, would they have the good life they have now?
He Ximei hung up the phone and said to her husband, "My sister-in-law is quite interesting. I always said my brother couldn't just look at a face, but after talking to her on the phone today, I realized she's quite good at handling people."
“You know your brother well. He wouldn’t have caught his eye if he wasn’t exceptionally outstanding. Since he’s a good person, you should get along with him properly,” He Ximei’s husband instructed.
He Ximei nodded, then, as if remembering something, hugged her man and said, "Have you seen Xiao Niangao's picture? This is the first time I've ever seen such a cute child. My two kids can't compare at all."
"No wonder it's called 'Little Rice Cake,' it really is as chewy and sticky as rice cake. I want to eat rice cake too!" He Ximei said with longing.
Her husband understood, put his arm around her, and turned off the light: "I think you don't want to eat rice cakes, you want to have a daughter."
He Ximei hugged her man's neck, smiled and nodded. The two of them had been working extra hard that night in their hopes of having a daughter as cute as Xiao Nian Gao.
They already have two sons, and are just one daughter away.
Despite her efforts over several nights, her period came as expected the following month, leaving He Ximei utterly disappointed.
Of course, Yun Jin was unaware of this.
Yun Jin is growing to love Xiao Niangao more and more, finding him incredibly cute. The little guy changes every day, becoming cuter and cuter; his little feet, little hands, and little face are all adorable.
It's plump and fair-skinned; everyone who sees it will love it.
Now she not only eats and drinks, but also plays. At five months old, she can roll over and sit up for a while. She's much more active than before, and she even smiles at me every time she nurses. She's so sweet.
Yun Jin would watch her breastfeeding for quite a while each time.
Seeing her looking at her, Xiao Niangao was too embarrassed to stop nursing and stared at her with wide eyes. She heard Yun Jin say affectionately, "You eat yours, don't be shy, your mother has plenty of milk."
Sometimes, when He Tingchuan heard this, he would glance at her sideways.
Yun Jin noticed his hesitant expression and whispered to Xiao Niangao, "Eat more, your dad wants some too. Let's not give him any, or he'll be drooling!"
Upon hearing this, He Tingchuan's ears turned red.
The usually stern man blushed slightly, lacking even the courage to deny it.
Indeed, he himself didn't know why he wanted to try it too when he saw Xiao Niangao eating so deliciously. He had never been so lewd before, ever since he got married and had a daughter.
He Tingchuan realized that he was no longer an upright and honest man.
After feeding the little rice cake, Yun Jin looked at the people tidying up the diapers and asked, "I heard you're going to assign missions again. Are you going on a mission too?"
“It’s a small mission, I’ll be back in three to five days.” He Tingchuan pulled her onto his lap, held the mother and daughter in his arms, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said, “When I go on a mission, I’ll have Li Aimei come and keep you and your daughter company.”
Yun Jin nodded.
He Tingchuan added, "Take good care of yourself. We'll take you out to play when we get back. You want to go for a spring outing? I know a place with beautiful peach blossoms. I'll take you there when we get back."
Yun Jin kissed him: "Be careful and come back safely."
He Tingchuan smiled and returned her kiss. As they kissed passionately, Xiao Niangao reached out and slapped He Tingchuan, uttering the unique baby talk of infancy.
He Tingchuan grabbed the chubby little hand and kissed it, then gave Yun Jin a wink while holding the still energetic little rice cake.
Yun Jin smiled and, carrying her clothes, went to the bathhouse with Sister-in-law Gao and the others.
When she finished washing up and went back, Xiao Niangao was already asleep. It was her turn to look after Xiao Niangao. He Tingchuan took a hot shower and washed Yun Jin's dirty clothes, dried them, and then went back to close the door.
Unless the sky falls, we will never close the door.
Knowing that He Tingchuan was leaving, Yun Jin didn't refuse. The two lingered and entangled, until it was time for Xiao Niangao to drink her milk. Xiao Niangao took a sip and felt that the taste was not quite right.
She wasn't sure, but after a quick glance, she realized it was indeed her mother.
She took another sip, pouted in grievance, and looked like she was about to cry, so Yun Jin immediately took another sip.
After taking a bite of the small rice cake, I realized it tasted the same as before and had the same recipe, so I felt reassured and started drinking it.
He Tingchuan was kicked by Yun Jin: "Look at you, your daughter is disliked now. If she cries from hunger tonight, you can make her your own milk powder. If she doesn't drink it, she can go hungry. It's not my fault anyway."
He Tingchuan propped his head up, looked at the little girl with a good appetite, and tapped her chubby little face: "So domineering, can't even Daddy have a taste?"
Little Rice Cake seemed to understand, glancing at her sideways before hugging her tightly and drinking, as if afraid he would snatch it away.
Yun Jin burst into laughter, and He Tingchuan couldn't help but laugh along: "Don't let her laughter fool you, she's incredibly clever and shrewd. I wasn't like this when I was a kid."
“Like me, cute!” Yun Jin automatically claimed the spot.
That night, after feeding Xiao Niangao, Yun Jin was also sleepy. She and He Tingchuan rested together on one side, with Xiao Niangao inside. The mother and daughter slept soundly.
He Tingchuan watched for a long time before falling asleep with Yun Jin in his arms.
Yun Jin didn't know how long she had slept, but she was woken up by He Tingchuan before she was fully awake. She was groggy and he kept bothering her. When she woke up and saw that everyone around her had left, leaving only her and her daughter, Yun Jin felt a little disappointed.
When she got out of bed, she wanted nothing more than to beat He Tingchuan up.
It's not like she's on a mission for several months. They're acting like they're afraid of shortchanging her. They made her legs weak early in the morning, and Yun Jin didn't want to speak all day. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was reluctant to part with He Tingchuan.
He also comforted her, saying, "That's how it is when you're a military wife. You're lucky to be together so often. We couldn't be with our husbands when we were in the military, and we only got to be together for a few days a year back in our hometown."
You'll get used to it!
"Compared to those who can't accompany the troops, we're already doing very well!"
Yun Jin smiled but didn't say anything. Was she reluctant to part with him?
She wanted to hit someone.
Next time he comes back, I'll make sure he knows what it means to not get fat overnight. He's worked his wife to death, and he'll have something to cry about later.
