The wife took the baby to live with the military commander, and the commander washed diapers every d

He was a little confused; what exactly was going on?

Upon closer reflection, there are many small details that are worth pondering.

He never seemed to see the kitchen lacking in eggs or flour.

Every time I ask, my wife says she bought it from the nearby supply and marketing cooperative.

But he knew that the army's supply and marketing cooperative often ran out of stock, and if he wanted to buy something, he had to go early.

Especially wheat flour, it's scarce and expensive, how come my wife always manages to buy it?

He frowned and fell into deep thought.

Shen Jingyue had no idea that her little secret was about to be exposed.

Right now, she's enjoying a relaxing bath in the bathtub in the space.

It feels so good.

However, she didn't soak for too long, only a few minutes.

After taking a shower, I felt much more relaxed.

After taking a shower, she washed her clothes right there in her room, but by hand.

After washing herself clean, she left the space and waited for a while before returning.

Qin Xiang'an had already put the child to sleep by then.

As soon as Shen Jingyue entered, she saw Qin Xiang'an make a shushing gesture at her.

"Asleep?" Shen Jingyue asked in a low voice.

"Okay, I'm going to sleep."

Qin Xiang'an put the child back on the bed and covered his little belly with a blanket.

He came over and helped her hang the clothes up to dry.

As he got closer, he smelled the same fragrance on his wife as on his son.

He asked, "Wife, you smell so good."

Shen Jingyue paused for a moment, her hand on the clothesline also stopping, then she smiled and said, "Really? Of course it smells good, it's the soap I used."

She continued hanging the clothes, feeling a little uneasy.

Qin Xiang'an naturally noticed the fleeting look of guilt in his wife's eyes.

He felt that his wife was definitely hiding something from him.

Moreover, he remembered very clearly that they did bring a bar of soap when they came out, but the smell was completely different from this one.

However, seeing that his wife didn't want to talk about it, he didn't force her.

Shen Jingyue thought he would continue to ask questions, and she was thinking about what to say later.

I was thinking, why don't I just tell him? That way I won't have to hide it anymore when I use my space, and I won't have to rack my brains to find excuses to avoid it.

But after waiting for a long time, Qin Xiang'an did not continue to ask.

While Shen Jingyue breathed a sigh of relief, she was also a little disappointed. If he had asked again, she might have told him.

After hanging up the clothes, the two of them lay on the bed and rested for a while.

When they woke up again, it was almost dark outside.

Shen Jingyue was woken up by the child patting her awake.

When I opened my eyes, I was met with a pair of big, round, clear eyes.

Seeing Xiao Beichen's healing smile, Shen Jingyue hugged her son and kissed him a few times, making the child giggle.

"You little rascal, you woke up by yourself and now you won't let me sleep anymore."

She hugged him and gently patted his little bottom.

Little Xiao Beichen giggled and leaned forward to kiss Shen Jingyue's face, leaving her face covered in saliva.

Shen Jingyue sat up while holding him, and saw that Qin Xiang'an had left sometime earlier.

She assumed he was going to the toilet and didn't pay much attention. Instead, she helped her son urinate and then breastfed him.

Actually, Shen Jingyue hardly feeds him anymore; she mostly gives him formula.

Fortunately, this little rascal is relatively easy to take care of. As long as he has something to eat, formula is fine too.

After he finished eating, Qin Xiang'an returned with the food he had bought at the state-run restaurant.

"You're awake? Come and eat!"

Shen Jingyue, holding the child, came over and sat down. "What groceries did you buy?"

"One meat dish, one vegetable dish, two bowls of rice, and a basket of dumplings."

"Why did you buy so much?"

"I haven't been eating well on the train these past few days. I noticed you didn't eat much at lunch, so I bought some extra food."

"You eat first, and I'll eat what you can't finish."

Qin Xiang'an handed her a box of food.

"That's too much, I can't eat that much, I'll give you some."

"You eat first, and I'll eat the rest if you can't finish it." He came over and took the child so she could eat better.

The meat was sweet and sour pork ribs, which were cooked to be especially fragrant. Shen Jingyue ate some herself and also fed Qin Xiang'an a piece.

"Put the child on the bed and come eat too. Don't worry about him."

Qin Xiang'an put the child on the bed and let him play by himself, then came over to eat.

"This dumpling is also good, you should try it." Shen Jingyue put another dumpling on his plate.

"You're going back to your parents' home tomorrow, so I'll get up early and go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things to take back with you," Qin Xiang'an asked while eating.

"No need yet, I'll go back and check on things first. My family situation is a bit complicated."

"My mother passed away when I was young, and my father remarried."

"That woman is two-faced. She pretends to be a kind mother in public, but at home she treats my sister and me like servants."

"If we bring gifts, wouldn't that just be giving them an easy advantage?"

She wasn't going to let them get away with it.

If it weren't for her loving mother's reputation, she and her sister probably wouldn't even have been able to go to school.

The original owner had a falling out with her stepmother when she left.

If it weren't for her younger sister still being at home, the original owner might have already revealed all the things her stepmother had been doing in private.

"Okay, I'll listen to you then. Are you sure you don't need me to go with you tomorrow?" Qin Xiang'an was a little worried.

"No need for now, I'll go check on my sister first."

Qin Xiang'an nodded and continued eating with his head down.

Seeing that he wasn't speaking, Shen Jingyue asked, "Are you angry?"

Qin Xiang'an looked up at her in confusion.

"No, why do you ask?"

Judging from your expression, I think you're upset that I'm not letting you go.

The two of them are already married, but they haven't met each other's parents yet. Because the original owner didn't have a good relationship with her family, she didn't tell them about her marriage.

She wanted to check on the situation at home before taking him and the child back.

"No, I should have talked to your dad about this first. Don't overthink it, let's eat."

Qin Xiang'an was somewhat helpless; what was his wife thinking about in that little head of hers?

He also put a piece of spare rib into her bowl.

He really didn't think much of it, but he was a little worried after hearing her say that her stepmother was so bad.

Shen Jingyue also breathed a sigh of relief, and the two continued eating.

The next day, after finishing breakfast, Shen Jingyue went home alone. She also bought some peach shortbread at the supply and marketing cooperative to take back with her.

Fortunately, this place isn't too far from the original owner's house.

It only takes about ten minutes to walk there.

The original owner's family lived in the staff quarters of the machinery factory, which were also located near the factory.

Because the original owner's father was a skilled worker and was among the first to be allocated housing, he was assigned a separate courtyard.

As soon as Shen Jingyue returned, everyone in the family compound recognized her.

"Oh, you must be Jingyue?" An aunt recognized her.
