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

Today's dishes were quite plentiful, including braised pork, stewed mutton, shredded potatoes, stir-fried lettuce, and more than ten scallion pancakes.

Each dish was quite large in portion size, and Shen Jingyue was worried that there wouldn't be enough to eat, so she prepared them in large portions.

Everyone picked up their chopsticks and started eating without prior arrangement.

Xiao Yuchen was a talkative person. After eating for a while, he felt that the dishes tasted really good.

"Sister-in-law, did you make all these dishes?" Xiao Yuchen asked while eating.

Shen Jingyue didn't understand what he meant by asking that, so she nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong? But these dishes aren't to my liking."

She thought it tasted pretty good.

Xiao Yuchen was worried that she would misunderstand, so he quickly shook his head, "No, no, it's just that these dishes taste so good, they're so delicious. I think they're even better than what you get at state-run restaurants."

He also said that these were not exaggerations, but that the taste was indeed very good.

Xie Yun also said, "It's really delicious, especially the scallion pancake. It's crispy on the outside and tastes especially good when rolled with shredded potatoes and meat."

"If it's delicious, then you should eat more." Shen Jingyue also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that her cooking skills were not good.

"My wife's cooking skills are really good; they can't compare to those of state-run restaurants outside."

Qin Xiang'an was also happy, because this was his wife.

The three of them, including Xiao's father, could all hear the boastful tone in Qin Xiang'an's voice, and they couldn't help but glance at him.

Well, he's even showing off his wife now.

Xiao Yuchen was also surprised. His fourth brother had seemed cold and unapproachable before, but he was surprised that he would be so proud when his wife was praised.

Are all married men like this?

Xie Yun was happy to see her youngest son doing so well.

Mr. Xiao was also very pleased. Although his youngest son had not yet called them "Mom" and "Dad," the fact that the child had taken the Xiao family name meant that he had accepted them in his heart.

They will wait, until the day he changes his mind.

The group chatted and ate their meal, and finished quickly.

The men all had big appetites, and in the end, they finished all the food on the table.

Qin Xiang'an cleared the dishes and went to wash them. Xiao Yuchen and his father went to help, as they also had something to discuss with their fourth brother.

All three men went to help wash the dishes.

For a moment, only Shen Jingyue and Xie Yun remained in the room.

The two were talking when the child started crying.

Shen Jingyue went over to check and found that the child had defecated.

I quickly grabbed a clean diaper and changed the baby's diaper.

Xie Yun didn't just stand there. She took the thermos, poured in some hot water, and then added some cold water. The water was lukewarm, just right for washing the baby's bottom.

After cleaning him up and changing his diaper, Shen Jingyue held the baby and breastfed him.

Xie Yun noticed Shen Jingyue's embarrassment, but didn't look at her directly. Instead, she sat on the bench and talked to her.

Outside, Xiao's father and Xiao Yuchen were discussing with him the matter of transferring him back to Beijing.

But Qin Xiang'an was unwilling.

"Why? The conditions in Beijing are much better than here. If you were transferred to Beijing, your siblings and children would have better living conditions, which would also be helpful for you in the future."

Xiao Yuchen really wanted him to be transferred back.

That way, the family can see it often.

"Are you worried about the transfer? Don't worry about it, I can arrange it for you," said Mr. Xiao, assuming that Mr. Xiao had this concern.

Qin Xiang'an shook his head and said while washing the dishes, "No, it's just that I want to be transferred to Beijing based on my own abilities, not through anyone's connections."

"I know you mean well, but you don't need to bring this up again. I won't agree to it."

Even if he were to be transferred to Beijing, he would prefer to do so based on his own abilities.

He believed his wife would definitely support him.

Both Xiao's father and Xiao Yuchen said this, and they couldn't help but exchange a glance and sigh softly.

"Fine, if that's what you think, then so be it. If you need anything in the future, you can write to me and I'll have your mother buy it for you."

Qin Xiang'an hummed in response and said nothing more.

It was already dark by then. After Qin Xiang'an finished washing the dishes, the group chatted in the yard for a while longer.

After the child had eaten his fill, Mr. Xiao hugged the child and went back to the guesthouse to rest.

They'll stay here a few more days; they're not in a hurry.

After they left, Qin Xiang'an went to fetch water to bathe the child.

After the two of them finished washing up and lay in bed, Qin Xiang'an immediately hugged his wife.

Shen Jingyue didn't expect him to hug her so tightly, and gently patted his hand.

"What are you doing? Trying to strangle me? Let go!"

"I don't want to. You're my wife, and I'll never let you go," Qin Xiang'an said defiantly, though she loosened her grip a little.

Shen Jingyue felt much better; she couldn't understand what was wrong with him.

"Honey, please don't talk about divorce so casually in the future, okay? You know I trust you."

Shen Jingyue didn't expect it was because of this.

"I was just saying that in anger. Okay, stop hugging, it's so hot."

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Although it's a little cooler at night, it's not much cooler.

During the day, she could simply take the child into the space.

The space is kept at a constant temperature, neither too hot nor too cold, and the temperature is always the most comfortable.

"No, I want to hold you. From now on, even if I'm angry, I can't say anything."

Qin Xiang'an clung to his wife like an octopus.

Shen Jingyue was also really hot, so she said, "Okay, okay, I won't say it again. You can relax, it's really hot."

There are no fans now, and you get covered in sweat with the slightest movement.

Qin Xiang'an only let go of his wife after she agreed.

Without him embracing her like a giant furnace, Shen Jingyue immediately felt much cooler.

Thinking that Xiao's father and the others had suddenly come here, she turned to look at him and asked, "By the way, why are your parents here? I didn't see them write a letter saying they were coming."

"I didn't know that before, but he told me outside that he wanted to transfer me back to Beijing," Qin Xiang'an said, turning her head to look at her.

"Then what do you say?" Shen Jingyue asked calmly, showing no sign of being overjoyed that he was being transferred back to Beijing.

"I didn't agree?" Qin Xiang'an said in a low voice.

"Wife, will you blame me?"

After all, if he agreed, she could go to Beijing with him. Putting aside everything else, the conditions in Beijing are much better than in this remote Northwest.

"Why should I blame you? This is your own business. If you don't want to, then we can just stay here."

If Shen Jingyue had to choose, she would naturally want to go to Beijing, since the conditions there are indeed very good.

But she knew that Qin Xiang'an was a man with his own ideas, and since he had refused, he must have his reasons.

They are now husband and wife, and she naturally respects his choice.
