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

Worried about dropping the baby, she handed the child to Qin Xiang'an, saying, "Here, I was looking for you. This little guy is eating so well, I can barely hold him anymore."

Qin Xiang'an quickly took his big, fat son from him.

Seeing that the person holding him was finally his father, Xiao Beichen stopped struggling.

Instead, it continued to stare at them with its round, curious eyes, as if to say, "Who are you?"

"Uncle and Aunt, please sit for a while, I'll go check on the kitchen."

Qin Xiang'an took the child to the kitchen.

Xie Yun looked at their room; it was fairly clean and bright, but a bit small.

Qin Xiang'an carried the child into the kitchen.

Shen Jingyue had just finished cooking the last dish when she saw Qin Xiang'an come in carrying the child.

"Oh dear, there's so much smoke in here, you should take the child outside quickly."

"I'll cook this meal. You take our son and go inside to rest."

As Qin Xiang'an spoke, she placed the child in her arms, then took the spatula from her hand and began to stir-fry the vegetables.

Seeing that he was going to do it, Shen Jingyue did not insist.

Instead, he said, "This dish will do, it's about right, we can bring it inside in a bit."

"Okay, you go inside first, I'll be done soon."

Shen Jingyue didn't say anything more, but carried the child into the house.

They were still standing there.

"Uncle and Aunt, please don't stand, please sit down."

Shen Jingyue put the child on the kang (a heated brick bed) and let him play by himself for a while.

Xiao Beichen seemed to have gotten used to it and didn't cry or make a fuss. Even when lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), he could find something to do.

"Xiang An's wife." Xie Yun didn't know her name, so she just called her that.

Shen Jingyue felt that the way she was addressed was a bit awkward, so she smiled and said, "Auntie, just call me Jingyue, or Xiaoyue is fine too. This way of addressing me sounds a bit strange."

"Hey, then I'll call you Jingyue," Xie Yun said with a smile.

"Please have a seat, I'll pour you some water."

Shen Jingyue poured a glass of water for each of them using an enamel mug and brought it over.

"Sister-in-law, may I hold the baby?"

Xiao Yuchen really adored his little nephew. Seeing him playing with his little hands on the kang (a heated brick bed) without crying or fussing was so endearing.

"Sure, Third Brother, go and carry him."

This kid won't cry or make a fuss unless he's hungry.

Xiao Yuchen rubbed his hands together, walked over, and picked up his little nephew.

"Sister-in-law, what's his name?"

"His name is Xiao Beichen, and his nickname is Chenchen or Xiaochen."

When the three members of the Xiao family heard that the child's surname was Xiao, they couldn't help but feel excited.

Xie Yun's eyes even turned red.

"Good, good, good, Beichen is a good name." Father Xiao's voice was choked with emotion.

The fact that the child's surname is Xiao means that Xiang An acknowledges them in her heart, but she just hasn't gotten used to calling them that yet.

"Uncle and Aunt, when did you arrive?"

Shen Jingyue had nothing to do, and seeing that the child wasn't crying when his third uncle held him, but instead was laughing heartily, she sat down and chatted with them.

"I arrived at the train station last night, stayed at the guesthouse for one night, and then came to the military base this morning."

Xie Yun didn't hide anything and said directly, "We saw what happened this morning. That Qin mother is really a scoundrel. Child, I'm sorry you had to suffer like this."

Xie Yun held her hand and comforted her.

She's a woman too; how could she not know how cruel it is to have one's reputation tarnished?

Fortunately, his daughter-in-law was no pushover either; according to the third son, she even beat him up.

Any other woman would probably have been crying uncontrollably, but she was different. She managed to get the people who were spreading rumors to clarify the matter and even apologize.

This kind of courage is not something that ordinary women can possess.

"As long as my loved ones stand by me and believe in me, these grievances are not so bad."

Fortunately, he managed to beat the person up, vent his anger, get an apology, and clarify the facts.

Otherwise, you would really feel stifled to death.

"Of course I believe you. Oh, and I also brought you something."

"There are some for the children, and some for you."

Xie Yun didn't keep talking about this topic, but instead steered the conversation to what she had brought.

Xie Yun smiled and quickly took the gift she had brought for her.

Hand it to her, gesturing for her to open it and take a look.

Shen Jingyue hadn't expected that she had brought her something.

Thinking of the package that was sent from Beijing last time, which contained fabric for making clothes for herself, she still keeps it in her closet.

Could this be another free fabric gift?

But when she opened it, what she found inside surprised her.

It turned out to be a set of skincare products.

"These are skincare products I bought in Beijing, and this silk scarf. Many people in Beijing like them, and they sell out very quickly every time they arrive. I had to ask your second sister to save one for me."

Shen Jingyue hadn't expected Qin Xiang'an's biological mother to be so kind to her; these things wouldn't be cheap even now.

With a genuine smile in her eyes, she said, "Thank you, Auntie. I really like all of these things."

Xie Yun was very happy to hear that she liked it.

From the way the fourth brother protected his wife today, she knew that Xiang An really liked his wife.

"I'm glad you like it. I also bought baby formula and made some little clothes for the baby. Did you finish all the formula I brought you last time?"

Shen Jingyue naturally knew that she was referring to the ones that had been sent from Beijing last time.

Currently, the baby is mostly breastfed, but sometimes when Qin Xiang'an is too tired at night, he doesn't wake his wife to breastfeed, and instead feeds the baby formula.

I haven't actually used much yet; I haven't even finished one pack.

"Not yet."

"If not, then drink it slowly. As the baby grows bigger, their appetite will also increase, and eventually breast milk will definitely not be enough."

Xie Yun, having been through it all, naturally knew that in a few months, when the child was older, breast milk and formula alone would definitely not be enough.

The two were talking when Qin Xiang'an brought in the dishes.

Shen Jingyue got up and put the things on the table on the cabinet in the corner.

When Xiao's father saw this, he came over to help.

After Qin Xiang'an put down the food, he went to the kitchen, and Xiao's father followed him.

Xiao Yuchen was still holding his little nephew, whom he adored.

The food was served.

Seeing that his third brother was still holding the child and wouldn't put him down, Qin Xiang'an said, "Third brother, put him down and let him lie down and play for a while. Let's eat first."

Xiao Yuchen was a little reluctant to part with his nephew, who was just too adorable.

Seeing his expression, Shen Jingyue thought, "Third Brother, why don't you put him on that small bed? That way you can keep an eye on him."

As she spoke, she pointed to the small car next to her.

She usually puts her child in the food container when she eats.

Xiao Yuchen saw it too, so he picked up the child, put him down, went out to wash his hands, and then came back in to eat.
