Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 325 She thought, she needed to love this man even more.

Gu Jianing was indeed more prone to drowsiness in her late pregnancy.

Especially after what happened during the day, I was on edge. I only felt better when Xingxing and Sheng Zexi came back in the evening.

When you relax, you're more likely to feel sleepy.

Therefore, Gu Jianing really couldn't hold on any longer.

"Alright, the stars are yours." After several rounds of persuasion from Sheng Zexi, Gu Jianing gave in.

Gu Jianing was forcing herself to stay awake; she fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed.

Sheng Zexi carried Xingxing over, touched her head, and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that she didn't have a fever.

I covered her with the blanket again.

Actually, he was worried not only about the stars, but also about her.

Today, not only Xingxing was frightened, but Ningning was also frightened.

Especially since she was pregnant.

How could Sheng Zexi not be worried?

That's why he was in such a hurry to go home.

So, in the latter half of the night, Sheng Zexi held Xingxing and comforted him, checking to see if his fever had subsided.

Meanwhile, he would check on Ningning and Yueyue's situation from time to time.

Before we knew it, it was dawn.

When Gu Jianing opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Xingxing lying on the bed.

She reached out and touched him; thankfully, the little one no longer had a fever or nightmares.

Just ...

Where is her brother Xi?
Gu Jianing got up and, following the sound, saw the back of a man busy in the kitchen.

In that instant, for some reason, Gu Jianing's eyes welled up with tears.

She knew that the man must have stayed up all night, busy taking care of Xingxing.

Now that Xingxing is better, he went to the kitchen to prepare food for the mother and her two children.

How lucky she was to have met Sheng Zexi.

She thought to herself, she should love this man a little more.
-
Xingxing's fever was completely cured by daytime after Sheng Zexi took care of her that night.

After the little guy recovered, he became more dependent on and closer to his father.

Perhaps it was when she was sick and having nightmares that she vaguely realized she was in her father's arms.

Previously, Xingxing was always rather reserved in her attitude towards Sheng Zexi, and she didn't seem to be a child who was very good at expressing her feelings.

Sheng Zexi admitted that he did treat his daughter and son differently.

He dotes on his daughter and is very affectionate towards her.

As for his son, he tends to be more serious and strict in his approach to education.

As a result, Xingxing wasn't very close to her father.

But after this incident, and after last night...

Xingxing seemed to understand something; he realized that his father simply had different ways of educating him and his sister.

However, his father's love for him and Yueyue was the same.

When he is in danger, his father is just as worried; when he is sick, his father stays up all night to take care of him and give him a sense of security.

After figuring things out, Xingxing was completely at peace and became much closer to her father, Sheng Zexi.

Gu Jianing was pleased to see this.

After Xingxing recovered from her illness, their rewards were announced.

First, there is the reward for Sheng Zexi.

"You deserve a great commendation!" Chen Han said happily.

"We were originally going to promote you, but considering that you will be transferred to the Beijing Military Region later, and that you haven't been a regimental-level officer for many years."

"So, your promotion will probably have to wait until you're transferred to the Beijing Military Region."

Sheng Zexi nodded; he was quite satisfied with the reward. Previously, he might not have cared so much about rewards and promotions.

Even if they care a little, it's only to prove themselves.

But now, he is increasingly aware that only a better and higher status can protect his family.

In particular, Ningning has a secret.

He wants to climb to a position where he can protect Ningning even if her secret is exposed.

and so……

There's still a long way to go.

However, he will try his best!

"Oh, right, I was originally going to give you some bonuses as a reward, not just for you, but also for Xingxing and Yueyue, it's just..."

"The higher-ups are short on funds, so they can only choose to provide land or houses."

"These are several plots of land and houses, either in Shanghai or Beijing. You can take them back and choose one with your son and daughter. Each person can choose one."

Chen Han handed a map to Sheng Zexi, which had several circled areas on it.

Sheng Zexi raised an eyebrow and accepted it.

He thought this was good. He remembered that his Ningning preferred land and houses to money.

"By the way, there will be an awards ceremony for this matter. You, Xingxing and Yueyue, Leiting, Hongying and the others are all eligible for awards. Your family is the most important, so you have to bring them with you."

"Okay," Sheng Zexi agreed.

"There's one more thing..." Chen Han paused and said, "Zexi, how about your Amber's pups being considered for military dogs?"

Sheng Zexi remained silent and looked at him.

“We’ve all seen how your dogs performed this time. They’re really amazing and perfect as military dogs.”

"Seriously, it's such a waste that they didn't become military dogs."

"If they become military dogs, I guarantee they will perform exceptionally well."

"You have no idea how many soldiers in our military region are envious of Lei Ting and his team."

Sheng Zexi pursed his lips. "I'm not sure about that. I need to go back and ask them."

"Okay, okay, I'll go ask, I'll wait for your reply."
-
So, that evening, after dinner, Sheng Zexi told Gu Jianing about it.

Gu Jianing thought for a moment, "I can't make this decision on my own. I have to ask Amber and her children."

Gu Jianing isn't the type to force herself on others, even if they're dogs.

Each person's wishes are the most important.

"Okay, then go ask."

So Gu Jianing went to the courtyard.

In the courtyard, Amber and her four cubs had just finished their meal.

Seeing Gu Jianing call out, Amber led the children over.

"Sister, is something the matter?" Amber asked.

"Yes, something is indeed wrong!"

General Gu Jianing mentioned inviting Lei Ting and the other three to become military dogs.

"...This matter depends on your own wishes. Neither Brother Xi nor I will force you."

"Even if we don't become military dogs, it's still nice for our family to live together like this."

When Leiting, Hongying, and the other dogs heard that the military region had invited them to become military dogs, they were all a little restless.

"Quiet!" Amber snapped.

The children immediately quieted down.

Amber looked at Gu Jianing, "Sister, give us one night to think about it, and I'll tell you my answer tomorrow, okay?"

“Of course you can.” Gu Jianing stroked Amber’s fur. “Whatever your final decision is, I will support you.”

“Mm,” Amber nodded.
