As she left, Sister Wang said enviously, "Sister Shen, you're so lucky. Your Deputy Regiment Commander Qin can do everything. After get off work, he cooks and washes diapers for the kids."

"He's nothing like my husband. He comes home and immediately starts reading the newspaper. He only knows a few words, and he spends all day pretending to be a scholar with the newspaper in his hand."

Sister-in-law Lu thought to herself: Fortunately, her husband Lu still has some sense of reason, and he will do whatever she asks him to do.

Sister Wang's words made Shen Jingyue laugh.

Sister-in-law Lu said, "Then make him do some work. If you don't tell him, he'll think you're not tired. If you tell him, he might do it."

"My husband used to be like that too, but now if I ask him to do something, he'll do it."

Sister Wang never imagined it could be like this.

"Will this work? He always says he's tired after a long day at work," Sister Wang said hesitantly.

"What's the big deal? If he doesn't listen to you, don't let him get on the kang (heated brick bed) at night. Make him go sleep in the same room as the child," Sister Lu said bluntly.

Sister Wang: "..."

Shen Jingyue: "..."

They both stared at Sister Lu.

Sister-in-law Lu noticed that they were staring at her, completely unaware of what she had said wrong.

"What's wrong? Am I wrong?"

She often used this trick at home to keep Lao Lu completely under her thumb.

Sister Wang asked with a gossipy look, "Sister Lu, do you often use this trick on your husband? It really works!"

Sister-in-law Lu coughed a few times, "It's alright, at least it makes him listen to her."

Sister Wang: "Then I'll go back and try it too."

Sister-in-law Lu and Shen Jingyue exchanged a glance, and smiles involuntarily appeared in their eyes.

They didn't stay there long, seeing that it was about time and the men would be back soon.

They got up and went back.

Qin Xiang'an had just gone to the mailroom to pick up two packages sent from Beijing, both containing quite a lot of items.

Even the people in the mailroom were wondering who had sent something to Deputy Commander Qin.

You know, the things in there aren't cheap at all.

Previously, Deputy Commander Qin never received any packages, let alone letters. Now that he has both packages and letters, they are really curious about who sent them.

Qin Xiang'an ignored their stares, picked up her things, and left.

I happened to be not far from my house when I met my two sisters-in-law coming out of their house.

Sister Wang and Sister Lu greeted him, "Oh, Deputy Regiment Commander Qin is back."

"Hello, sisters-in-law." Qin Xiang'an also saw that they had just come out of her house.

"Alright, alright, you should go back now, or Sister Shen will be starving."

Sister-in-law Lu made a lighthearted joke before going back to cook.

Sister Wang also left quickly.

Qin Xiang'an also returned home carrying the package that had just been sent from Beijing.

Shen Jingyue was changing the baby's diaper inside the house; the baby had just peed again.

As she was changing, she heard the sound of a door opening and familiar footsteps coming from the courtyard, and she knew it must be Qin Xiang'an returning.

Sure enough, the next moment Qin Xiang'an's voice rang out, "Wife, I'm back."

Then he pushed open the door and came in.

Shen Jingyue had already changed the baby's diaper by this time.

Turning around, I saw Qin Xiang'an walking in carrying two large packages.

She asked suspiciously, "What are you holding in your hand?"

"It was sent from Beijing. I had asked them to buy baby formula and bottles for me before."

Upon hearing that it was baby bottles and formula, Shen Jingyue got off the kang (a heated brick bed) and came over.

Qin Xiang'an placed the package on the table.

Shen Jingyue opened the package and, sure enough, saw baby bottles, several bags of formula, and two bags of malted milk powder inside.

She opened another bundle, which contained some cotton cloth and some pretty fabrics, in light yellow and red colors.

There are also several small clothes made for the children, in different sizes, and several little bibs made for the children, with little tigers embroidered on them. They are so cute and beautiful.

"These little bibs are so pretty, did your mother make them by hand?"

These things are not sold in supply and marketing cooperatives; you have to make them yourself if you want them.

Moreover, the embroidery on this piece is very well done; it's obvious that the embroiderer knows how to do it, otherwise, they simply couldn't have embroidered something like this.

Qin Xiang'an didn't know either; he had simply called Xiao Yuchen to ask him to get him two baby bottles and a few bags of formula.

He hadn't expected there to be so many things in the house.

"Look, there's another letter here. It's quite thick. Take a look."

Shen Jingyue handed him the letter.

Qin Xiang'an took the letter and opened it. These things should have been prepared by Xiao's mother. She also mentioned that some of them were for the child and others were for his wife.

She also said she would come to see them in a while.

They were also given some money and tickets, which they said were for their children and wives.

Qin Xiang'an showed the letter to his wife.

After reading the letter, Shen Jingyue smiled and said, "It seems your mother treats you very well."

"Will you be angry if she comes?" Qin Xiang'an asked with some concern.

Shen Jingyue looked into his dark eyes and asked in return, "Why are you angry? As long as it's not someone like Qin's mother, someone who is good to you, good to me, and good to the children, I won't get angry."

"Besides, you also said that she is your biological mother. Although you have only recently reunited, the blood relationship and her kindness to you are undeniable, aren't they?"

"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who's unreasonable."

Qin Xiang'an came over and pulled her into his arms, saying softly, "Wife, you're so good to me."

Shen Jingyue was caught off guard and pulled into his arms, still in a daze.

I don't know what got into this person, they suddenly hugged me.

This was the first time the two had hugged, and it actually felt pretty good.

Listening to the man's steady heartbeat and smelling his unique scent, Shen Jingyue's face inexplicably began to burn.

Although the two had been sharing a bed for more than half a month, the child always kept between them, and they never once engaged in any intimate gestures such as holding hands or hugging.

Qin Xiang'an suddenly came over and hugged her, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Hey, let me go!" Shen Jingyue tried to get out of his arms.

"No, honey, can I hold you for a little while?"

At this moment, Qin Xiang'an was like a spoiled puppy, completely unlike his usual serious and aloof demeanor.

Helpless, Shen Jingyue had no choice but to let him hold her.

But after a while, the man got so engrossed in hugging her that he refused to let go.

Just as Shen Jingyue was about to speak, Xiao Beichen, who was lying on the bed, started to cry.

"The child is crying, can you let go?" Shen Jingyue patted his arm.

Qin Xiang'an was still not satisfied. He had finally been able to hold his wife, and this brat's crying was perfectly timed.

Only then did he reluctantly release his wife.
