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

After getting breakfast and eating, I washed my son's diapers.

Just as I was washing my baby's diapers, Lao Lu and the others arrived one after the other.

Seeing Qin Xiang'an washing diapers at home, they couldn't help but be surprised.

"Oh my, Lao Lu is washing diapers for the baby?" Lao Fang's eyes widened, still a little incredulous.

Old Chen: "Wow, Old Qin, you're really something, you've even washed the baby's diapers."

Old Zhu: "Old Qin is different now that he has a wife and kids; they've all become more virtuous."

The crowd laughed and joked, their voices so loud that even Shen Jingyue, who was breastfeeding her child inside the house, could hear them.

Qin Xiang'an kept working, looking at them and said, "Alright, hurry up and build the toilet for me. The rest of the stuff just arrived, so get the toilet done today."

"Alright, alright, then you continue washing diapers, we'll get back to work." Old Fang pulled the person away.

But the old road is still standing there.

Qin Xiang'an noticed that someone was still there, and when she looked up, she met Lao Lu's resentful expression.

Qin Xiang'an frowned. "Old Lu, what are you doing? What's with that expression?"

Old Lu stared at him for a while without saying anything, then turned around and went back to his work.

Qin Xiang'an: "..." Completely baffling!

She bent down and continued washing the baby's diapers.

I was busy all day again, and finally finished building the toilet by sunset this afternoon.

Shen Jingyue was also happy.

Now the problem of needing to use the toilet is finally solved.

Because he only had a few days off, Qin Xiang'an would have to go back to work after the holiday.

However, he went out early in the morning to buy groceries and brought back breakfast for his wife from the canteen, which was still prepared separately by the canteen worker.

However, he will come back at noon to cook lunch.

I fetched water this morning and washed the baby's diapers; it's almost time for me to go to work.

Qin Xiang'an came in and said to his wife, "Honey, I'm going to work now. I'll cook lunch when I get back. You go ahead and do your work."

Qin Xiang'an grabbed his hat and went to work.

Seeing Qin Xiang'an leave, I thought about how busy he had been all morning and how tired he must have been.

But the man didn't complain at all, and did whatever he was asked to do these past two days.

Even if he didn't say anything, he would do it if he saw it, and he never complained.

His affection for her grew even stronger.

Since I had nothing to do at noon, I decided to cook for myself.

He's quite tired too, so it's not good to leave all the work to him.

Since this man is good-looking and not easy to find, Shen Jingyue also wanted to continue this marriage.

Of course, we can't just dump all the work on him.

So when Qin Xiang'an returned at noon, he saw that his wife had already prepared all the dishes.

Shen Jingyue didn't cook in the kitchen because she wasn't used to it; she cooked all the dishes in the kitchen inside the space.

However, all the vegetables used were bought by Qin Xiang'an.

There was meat, shredded potatoes, green vegetables, and pancakes fried by Shen Jingyue, which were perfect for wrapping the vegetables in.

Her own portion was still dumplings, which she made herself. The flavor was a bit bland, but it tasted good.

She also steamed two portions of red date cake.

"You're back! Perfect timing. Go wash your hands and come eat."

She figured she should be back by now, so she took out the dishes she had prepared earlier from her spatial storage.

Space also has a preservation function, meaning that cooked food will not get cold or spoil if you leave it there, and it will always be hot whenever you eat it.

When Qin Xiang'an returned, she saw that the table was already full of food and looked at her in surprise.

"Wife, did you make all of this?"

"Yeah, are you worried my cooking won't taste good?"

"No, that's not what I meant. Didn't I say I'd cook when I got back? Why did you start cooking yourself?"

Qin Xiang'an came home early after work, worried that his wife might be hungry, but to his surprise, she had already prepared the food herself.

"I was just thinking that you've been working too hard these past few days, and you have to go to work today. It would be too tiring for you to cook when you get home."

"I happened to have nothing to do, so I made it myself."

Hearing that his wife was worried about him working too hard, Qin Xiang'an felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey.

However, he still said, "I'll wait for you to come back and do it. You're already tired from taking care of the children, so leave these things to me."

He had overheard the women in the family compound talking before, saying that women who have just given birth need to take good care of themselves during their postpartum period, otherwise they might develop health problems later on.

"Alright, I'll listen to you, honey," Shen Jingyue said with a smile.

When Qin Xiang'an heard the word "husband," her pointed ears couldn't help but turn red again.

He quickly handed her the baby formula, saying, "Here, this is baby formula I bought for the baby. There's only one bag, so you can use it for now. I'll ask around this afternoon to see if I can buy more."

"Oh, honey, you're amazing."

Shen Jingyue happily accepted the bag of milk powder, but seeing that it only contained milk powder, she forgot about the baby bottle.

"Oh right, we also need to buy a baby bottle. Just having formula isn't enough; we need a bottle to feed the baby. We can't just feed the baby spoonful by spoonful using a bowl."

"Okay, I'll ask around. If they have them, I'll have someone buy a couple more."

"Okay, you should go wash your hands, or the food will get cold."

Shen Jingyue put the milk powder away.

Qin Xiang'an went out to wash his hands and came in.

"Why don't you try my cooking and see how it tastes?" Shen Jingyue rolled up a pancake for him and handed it to him.

Qin Xiang'an took it, "You should eat too."

The two of them started eating together.

After watching him take a few bites, Shen Jingyue asked, "How does it taste?"

Qin Xiang'an nodded. "Yes, it's delicious. Your cooking is excellent."

Shen Jingyue was happy to hear what she wanted to hear.

Then she heard Qin Xiang'an say again, "I'll cook when I get back from now on. You're still in your postpartum period, so you should rest more."

"Okay, I'll do as you say, honey."

Qin Xiang'an's ears turned red again.

Shen Jingyue was delighted, and even the bland dumplings tasted delicious to her.

This cheap husband of mine is really easily embarrassed.

After the child had eaten most of the food, he started crying, probably because he had soiled himself.

Qin Xiang'an told her to sit down and continue eating, while he stuffed the half-eaten piece of bread into his mouth and went to change his son's diaper.

The child did poop. This child cries whenever he poops or pees, but he stops crying once he's comfortably put on a clean diaper.

The child is relatively easy to take care of. He does nothing but sleep and doesn't cause much trouble.

Shen Jingyue also has time to do her own things.

Thinking of the novel she had already written, she asked Qin Xiang'an to take it to the mailroom at the entrance of the military base and mail it out for her when he went to work later.

Qin Xiang'an has become very skilled at changing diapers for her child.

I poured hot water to clean the baby and then changed the diaper.

She took the diaper she had just changed, along with a few other diapers she had changed while she was at work, and went outside to wash them.

"Put the bowls and chopsticks down for now, I'll clean them up later."

"Okay." Shen Jingyue had finished eating by then.

After Qin Xiang'an finished washing the diapers and cleaning up the dishes, Shen Jingyue handed him the envelope she was going to mail.

Qin Xiang'an took it, puzzled, and asked curiously, "Wife, what is this?"

"Letter, I'm currently in postpartum confinement. Could you please mail this letter for me?"

Qin Xiang'an glanced at the mailing address and was surprised to find it was the address of a Beijing newspaper.

Qin Xiang'an was literate. After he joined the army, the troops taught them to read, so Qin Xiang'an was not an illiterate person who knew nothing.

He couldn't help but ask, "Honey, do you know anyone in Beijing?"

"No, this is a novel I wrote, which I sent to the newspaper."

There's nothing wrong with saying this.

"A novel? Honey, you can write that kind of thing?" Qin Xiang'an was quite surprised, not expecting his wife to be so capable.

"That's right, there are many things you don't know. I'll let you know them slowly in the future."

She looked at the letter in his hand: "I've been writing this for a long time, don't lose it."

"Okay, I'll mail the letter for you when I get to work." Qin Xiang'an immediately put the letter into his breast pocket.

"Also, I've decided on the child's name: Beichen, with the nickname Chenchen. What do you think?"

She didn't trust Qin Xiang'an to name her; if he picked one of those overly common names, she'd be devastated.

"Beichen, a good name."

Qin Xiang'an also liked the name very much. As expected of his wife, she was educated and her name sounded better than others.

Shen Jingyue asked, "What is the child's surname? Is it Xiao or Qin?"

She didn't really want her child to have the surname Qin, because she felt that the Qin family wasn't worthy of her son taking their surname.

Besides, Qin Xiang'an isn't their biological child. If he suggested that the child take the Qin surname, she wouldn't allow it.

If he dares to let the child take the surname Qin, she will directly let the child take her own surname, Shen.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Xiang'an said, "Let's use the surname Xiao, and the name will be Xiao Beichen."

Although he was grateful to Grandpa Qin for taking him in, he had been helping with chores at home since he was a child, and after joining the army, he would send money home every month.

He had long since repaid the Qin family's kindness in raising him.

Given how they treated their wife before, she definitely wouldn't agree to the child having the Qin surname, and he was willing to accept it anyway.

He has now found his family, and his parents treat him very well, so the child naturally takes the surname Xiao.

"Okay, then let's call him Xiao Beichen."

The name has been decided.

Qin Xiang'an rested for a bit, hugged her child, and then went to work.

He first went to the mailroom to mail the letter his wife wanted to send, and then went to the political commissar to make a phone call.

"Hello, who is this?" came the voice of a young man.

"Third Brother, it's me."

"Fourth brother, you've arrived at the army base?"

Xiao Yuchen was very happy. He didn't expect his fourth brother to call him. It was a real surprise.

"Yes, I've been back for several days now. I'm calling to ask you for a favor?"

Xiao Yuchen got excited; this was the first time he'd ever asked for his help.

He asked, "What kind of help do you need? Just tell me, and I'll do whatever it takes to help you."

"My wife just gave birth not long ago. I was thinking that since you happen to be in Beijing, if you have time, could you help me buy two baby bottles and some baby formula? Buy a few bags, and I'll send the money to you later."

It's very difficult to buy milk powder here. Even when he asked the brigade commander to help him buy some, he could only get one bag.

He figured it would be easier to buy in Beijing, so he thought he'd ask him for help.

Xiao Yuchen was shocked. "Fourth brother, what did you say? You have a child?"

Good heavens, he couldn't believe it.

My dad had inquired about where he used to live and knew that he had a wife.

But he didn't expect that his wife would even give birth to a child.

"Yes, my wife came to live with me at the military base. She just gave birth a few days ago, and I was wondering if you could help me get some formula and bottles."

If that doesn't work, he'll look for someone else.

Xiao Yuchen immediately replied, "Yes, yes, I guarantee you'll buy it and send it to the military base as soon as possible."

"Okay, thank you."

The two talked for a while longer before hanging up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yuchen slapped his forehead, realizing how stupid he was. How could he have forgotten to ask whether the baby was a boy or a girl?

Oh well, never mind, this is great news, he should hurry home.

He told his comrade that something had happened at home and asked him to help train the team, then hurriedly drove back to the family compound.

Grandpa Xiao went out to play chess with an old friend, leaving only Xie Yun and Zhang Ma at home.

Xie Yun was reading the newspaper in the living room when her son rushed back.

"Third brother, why are you back?"

"Mom, the fourth brother just called me." Xiao Yuchen walked over and sat down next to his mother.

Xie Yun sat up straight. "What? Fourth Brother called you. He's at the army base."

"Hmm, Mom, guess why Fourth Brother called me?" Xiao Yuchen deliberately kept everyone in suspense.

Xie Yun wasn't buying it. She tapped him with the newspaper and said, "Stop being so mysterious, just tell me already."

Xiao Yuchen stopped teasing his mother and said with a smile, "Fourth brother has a child. He just called me and asked me to help him buy two baby bottles and a few bags of formula to send to him."

"Really? The fourth brother got married before?"

Xie Yun was unaware that her newly adopted youngest son was already married, and she was also unaware that his wife had a child, who was now already born.

"Yes, the fourth brother didn't mention it before, but Dad found out when he was looking up his childhood. It seems he was a sent-down youth."

Xie Yun smacked him several times with the newspaper, "You brat, why didn't you tell me about something this big?"

Xiao Yuchen quickly shifted his position, keeping a distance from his mother.

"Mom, you didn't ask me about this. Besides, I thought Dad told you, and I thought you knew."

The fourth son has been found. His mother has even learned to hit people now, whereas she never used to lay a hand on him.

Xie Yun glared at her and said, "Then we need to hurry up and sell them. Doesn't his wife have enough breast milk?"

Xiao Yuchen: "How would I know? He only said he would help me buy baby bottles and formula."

"Is the child a boy or a girl?"

Xiao Yuchen: "I forgot to ask that."

Xie Yun glared at him again, "Tell me, what good are you? You don't even ask these questions."

"I was so excited when I heard the news that I forgot."

"Then Mom, I'll leave the task of buying baby bottles and formula to you. Buy them as soon as possible and send them to the fourth child."

He didn't understand these things either, so he could only keep asking his mother for help.

Unsurprisingly, he received another eye roll from his mother. "Do you even need to tell me?"
