Before dark, Yun Jin drank the bird's nest milk stewed by He Tingchuan, with added red dates and goji berries, which is good for beauty, health and nourishment.
Two pots were stewed in total. He Tingchuan couldn't bring himself to drink it, but he took a sip out of politeness and gave the rest to Yun Jin.
I even had a drink before bed as a late-night snack.
When He Tingchuan stewed the bird's nest, he cleaned it very thoroughly, removing even the smallest feathers.
He Tingchuan said, "I'll stew bird's nest for you whenever I have time. I'll ask my sister-in-law to buy the stewing pot, and it'll be ours from now on. We can also stew sea cucumber; I'll stew sea cucumber for you then."
"Okay, stew a lot more, so you can get some nourishment too." Yun Jin took the opportunity to take advantage of him, touching his handsome face with her small hand, her eyes bright and her smile impossible to hide.
He Tingchuan looked at Yun Jin, whose eyes were full of joy, and his gaze fell on her rosy lips. He wondered if it was because she had drunk bird's nest milk, but she smelled very sweet and milky.
His fingertips moved from his handsome face to his thin lips. Yun Jin's eyes darkened, and under his surprised yet expectant gaze, she tilted her head up and kissed him.
He Tingchuan's Adam's apple bobbed as he looked at the person pressing against him and subconsciously closed his eyes.
Unexpectedly, he dominated the training field, but when it came to Yun Jin, he felt like he was being controlled by her.
Yet he willingly allowed himself to be manipulated by her.
He felt a soft touch on his lips, and He Tingchuan's breath caught in his throat. His heart was overflowing with joy. Before he could control himself, he pushed the person in his arms away, his breath unsteady: "I'm going to take a shower. You should go to sleep early."
Yun Jin smiled innocently, her eyes looking adorable: "Don't take cold showers, it's cold now."
He Tingchuan gave her a deep look. He wanted to take a hot bath, but his body wouldn't allow it.
When He Tingchuan returned after taking a cold shower, Yun Jin, who falls asleep instantly, was already fast asleep, hugging his pillow and taking up most of the bed, even stealing his spot.
It looks like he'll have to raise the child himself after it's born.
With her like that, she might be shoving the child under her without even realizing it.
The package sent by Aunt He contained fresh cotton. Yun Jin asked Aunt Tian to help make a small quilt, specially prepared for her unborn child. The cotton was fluffy and soft, and paired with a small floral quilt cover, Yun Jin liked it very much.
She hasn't even used her baby yet, but she's already thinking of using it to cover her belly.
Unfortunately, the baby swaddle blanket was too small; it only covered the baby's belly and didn't cover the legs, so I had to put it away and keep it for the baby.
After the National Day holiday, it got cold here.
Yun Jin wasn't afraid of the cold during her pregnancy. While everyone else was wearing cotton-padded coats, she was still wearing a thin jacket. He Tingchuan saw that she wasn't dressed warmly enough and told her to wear more, but she was reluctant. She grabbed his hand and touched it to make sure it was warm before giving up.
After returning from his mission, He Tingchuan spent every day at the training ground, leaving early and returning late, which did not affect his care for the pregnant Yun Jin at all.
Recently, he has been going to bed early at night, turning his back to Yun Jin to prevent her from flirting with him, lest he lose control of himself.
It's getting cold. If he takes another cold shower, even if he's as strong as steel, he'll probably catch a cold and get a fever.
If he gets sick, who will take care of her?
Yun Jin also became obedient, knowing that if he were sick, no one would stew bird's nest for her once a week and sea cucumber once a week.
Now all the women in the compound are incredibly envious of Yun Jin; every woman who gets pregnant is either eating bird's nest or sea cucumber.
They'd only heard of it, but had never actually eaten it!
Some people say that bird's nest is just so-so, nothing more than swallow's saliva, and not even as tasty as vermicelli!
Yun Jin; "..."
Some people couldn't stand seeing Yun Jin living a good life, so they privately complained to the political commissar, saying that Yun Jin was acting like a capitalist lady, while others were struggling to make ends meet, she was eating bird's nest and sea cucumber. They said that such a person should be taken out shopping.
She thought the political commissar would stand up for her, but instead, the commissar scolded the complaining sister-in-law: "Why are you always targeting Sister-in-law He? What's wrong with her eating some bird's nest and sea cucumber while she's pregnant?"
"She has a good mother-in-law who cares about her daughter-in-law and sends her nourishing food from afar, isn't that enough? If you want to eat it, go ask your mother-in-law."
"......"
My sister-in-law is heartbroken.
If her mother-in-law were that good, she wouldn't have harbored such resentment.
Privately, they even asked He Tingchuan what kind of family he came from, since he could afford to eat bird's nest and sea cucumber. They wondered if he was a high-ranking official!
The political commissar scolded the man again: "What does their family background have to do with you? You should use this time to properly educate your child. Did you break someone's window yesterday?"
"Was it Commander Li's grandson who beat you up the day before yesterday?"
"Did you steal eggs from Battalion Commander Wang's house this morning?"
Seeing the political commissar's way of calculating the accounts, the woman from the compound dared not complain anymore and slunk back to discipline her unruly child.
If you don't discipline him for three days, he'll climb onto the roof and tear off the tiles; all he does is cause trouble in the courtyard, making it impossible for her to even file a complaint.
As for He Tingchuan, the political commissar called him over and told him to just eat the good stuff secretly. Everyone in the same compound should be aware that if he ate so well, others would complain.
He Tingchuan's face darkened: "If you have any complaints, come to me. If you can't stand seeing my wife eating bird's nest and sea cucumber, just let her watch. She'll get used to it."
political commissar:"......"
I don't want to do this job even for a single day anymore.
Yun Jin ate and drank well every day, chatted with Li Aimei when she had nothing to do, and went for a walk with He Tingchuan after dinner.
After Li Aimei started school, she had less time here, but Yun Jin didn't mind. She told her to focus on her studies. After school, she still had to take care of her younger siblings and do her homework, so she really didn't have much free time.
He only came to see Yun Jin on weekends when he didn't have classes.
Seeing her knitting a sweater, I offered to help but was refused: "I can do it. I don't believe everyone can knit a sweater except me. Once I learn, I'll knit one for my husband too."
