Mother He was overjoyed, just like a child, as she finally held her adorable, chubby-cheeked granddaughter with her big, bright eyes.
I like it no matter how I look at it; it's adorable no matter how I look at it.
With someone helping Yun Jin and He Tingchuan hold the baby, the young couple could eat their pork offal noodles in peace. Surprisingly, the taste was quite good, almost the same as the ones she ate at the cafeteria.
There was a bit too much chopped green onion.
After cleaning the scallions from his own bowl, He Tingchuan swapped it with Yun Jin's, and even gave her her favorite pork intestines and pig's blood.
Seeing this, Mrs. He didn't feel that her son was at a disadvantage at all; it was his own business if he wanted to spoil his wife.
Mrs. He asked curiously, "Yun Jin doesn't like scallions?"
Yun Jin smiled sheepishly: "I've been used to eating this since I was little."
"Just like Nian Gao's dad, he didn't like eating ginger when he was little. Will Nian Gao inherit this from you two and not be able to eat scallions or ginger?" Mother He was worried. What should she cook in the future?
It's one thing if there are no scallions, but how are you supposed to remove the fishy smell if you don't add ginger when cooking meat dishes?
Yun Jin and He Tingchuan exchanged a glance. They hadn't expected that He Tingchuan wouldn't eat ginger. They had put plenty of ginger in when cooking crayfish, and they had never heard of him not eating it.
He Tingchuan explained, "I didn't eat when I was a child, but I behaved myself after I joined the army, and now I eat everything."
Mother He suddenly realized.
"Then I won't put scallions in my lunch." Mrs. He accommodated Yun Jin's taste.
Yun Jin waved her hand: "No need, Mom, I'm fine with anything. You don't need to change anything for me. I can choose what's suitable."
Yun Jin then added sweetly, "I'll cook lunch so Mom can try my cooking."
"Mom knows your cooking skills. You just need to help out." Mother He already knew from the division commander's wife, who was also her distant cousin, that Yun Jin's stir-fried green beans were enough to overwhelm a group of people.
Mrs. He is getting old and has a poor appetite; she might not be able to handle it.
Besides, Mrs. He understands her family's tastes, and only her cooking suits everyone's palate.
Even if she was just doing odd jobs, Yun Jin was happy.
He Tingchuan not only cleaned up all the leftover pork offal noodles that Yun Jin couldn't finish, but also took the initiative to collect the bowls, wash the bowls, chopsticks, and pots, and drain them.
Looking at her youngest son, who worked quickly and cleanly, Mrs. He knew exactly what he was doing; he probably did all the housework.
Unexpectedly, this youngest son, who was used to being waited on hand and foot at home, is now capable of cooking and being presentable in public.
Why was Mrs. He feeling a little proud? Her usually aloof son had finally learned to take care of people.
Mother He was very pleased.
Yun Jin thought that He's mother would feel sorry for her, but to her surprise, He's mother not only didn't feel sorry for He Tingchuan as he washed the dishes and pots, but also gave Yun Jin a thumbs up in appreciation.
Yun Jin: "......"
Mother-in-law, this is making me a little nervous!
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Yun Jin said she wasn't tired. At He's mother's suggestion, she pushed the stroller and let Xiao Niangao sit inside as they strolled around the military compound.
Yun Jin was wearing a new dress, clean and pretty, gentle and elegant. Walking with Mother He, she looked like their daughter-in-law.
Little Niangao is seven months old now. She can sit up very steadily and is very happy to play outside. Her big eyes seem to be not enough to take it all in, looking here and there, and she doesn't forget to turn around to make sure Yunjin is following her.
When their eyes met, Xiao Niangao gave a cute smile.
While in the courtyard, Grandma He, along with Yun Jin and her granddaughter, encountered many acquaintances. She introduced Yun Jin to them one by one and also showed off her granddaughter.
Yun Jin smiled and nodded in greeting; she seemed perfectly well-behaved, sensible, and polite.
As for the little rice cake, it melted the hearts of everyone present.
Her adorable appearance is sure to please everyone.
Soon, the news of He Tingchuan returning to Beijing with his wife and daughter spread. Everyone praised He Tingchuan for his good fortune in marrying a gentle and beautiful wife and having a lovely and adorable daughter.
That chubby, plump, and juicy appearance is the grandson of their dreams.
Upon seeing Xiao Niangao, they couldn't help but go back and urge their children at home. They didn't want anything else, just a daughter of He Tingchuan. That's not too much to ask, is it?
The pressure fell on the young men of childbearing age and the women of childbearing age in the compound.
That day, there were a lot of people cursing He Tingchuan.
Many people are also curious about how gentle and beautiful He Tingchuan's wife is, and how she can receive unanimous praise from the elders in the compound.
They suspect they must have been bribed, otherwise how could they have given the same story?
There are also quite a few people who say it's sour grapes, and those who don't go back to the compound for ten days or half a month can't help but come back for a stroll these past two days to see who He Tingchuan's wife is.
Just how adorable must the daughter be to make all the grandmothers in the compound urge her to have another child?
They created opportunities, various chances came their way, or they arranged a chance encounter when He Tingchuan and Yun Jin were walking their child in the courtyard. That's how they met Yun Jin, who was so pretty and charming.
Looking at Yun Jin, who stood beside He Tingchuan, beautiful, gentle, charming, fair-skinned, and with a bright smile, they realized that He Tingchuan was indeed He Tingchuan.
Besides being the "other people's child" that elders always talked about, he also...
Even if he marries a wife, she will only be someone else's wife in the eyes of the elders.
Suddenly I understand why He Tingchuan looked down on the young women in the compound who wanted to date him, compared to Yun Jin, this gentle, bright, beautiful, and lovely southern girl.
The young women in their compound are indeed a bit unsuitable.
Just by looking into He Tingchuan's eyes, you could tell that this cold, ruthless, serious, and refined man was never kind and gentle to the girls in the compound. He doted on his wife immensely.
