Five babies in one pregnancy, I became a top performer in a military hospital.

Gu Jincheng frowned slightly when he saw that the man was blocking his view.

"Commander Fu, the winner of this military song competition will be able to participate in the cultural troupe's performance next month. I'm talking to Comrade Lu about this!"

Gu Jincheng explained.

A performance by the cultural troupe?

Fu Yuanzheng turned his head slightly to look at Lu Yao behind him.

Lu Yao nodded: "But I haven't considered participating yet, Comrade Gu. I'll discuss it with my husband when I get back."

Next month, she will be bringing five babies to accompany her to the military base. With so many babies at home, she probably won't have as much free time as she does now.

Gu Jincheng nodded: "Okay, then I'll wait for your good news!"

Gu Jincheng's voice was gentle, polite yet distant.

It seems to be just a performance by the cultural troupe!

After Gu Jincheng finished speaking, he left.

Bai Xiaoyun watched him leave, then looked at Lu Yao.

"Comrade Lu, I really hope you'll join the performing arts troupe. You sing so well! Please come, let's perform together on stage. You don't know, your stage presence just now was in no way inferior to our comrades in the troupe!"

Bai Xiaoyun was really praising him!

Lu Yao: "I'll think about it carefully!"

Fu Yuanzheng could see the joy in Lu Yao's expression.

"Go if you want to."

Lu Yao didn't expect her husband to agree so readily!

"But... what about the baby?"

Bai Xiaoyun: "Comrade Lu, didn't you say you wanted to accompany your baby to the military base? We're in the same military region, you can see your baby every day!"

That's right!

Lu Yao: "Okay, I'll come find you after I've settled the baby."

Bai Xiaoyun was overjoyed: "That's wonderful! I'll go tell Comrade Gu this good news right away!"

Bai Xiaoyun excitedly ran in the direction Gu Jincheng had left.

Lu Yao hugged Fu Yuanzheng's arm: "Honey, it seems Comrade Bai really likes Comrade Gu!"

"Um!"

People gradually left the venue of the military song competition.

During this military region's holiday, many soldiers tacitly chose to go home.

Ever since they heard Lu Yao's song, they could no longer suppress their homesickness.

The staff member approached Lu Yao: "Comrade Lu, when are you going to move this washing machine?"

Lu Yao: "Right away!"

Lu Yao pulled Fu Yuanzheng over to take a look at the washing machine they had acquired. Although the washing machine wasn't high-end, it was a luxury item for that era, and you needed a ration coupon to buy it.

The washing machine was square and looked like a lump of iron. It wasn't smart at all and had the traditional twin-tub design. Lu Yao took a look and thought that, no matter what, with so many babies at home, having a washing machine to wash clothes and diapers was really practical.

"Honey, let's carry it downstairs!"

Lu Yao thought to herself that such a big washing machine would require two people to lift it.

Fu Yuanzheng glanced at the washing machine; it didn't look very heavy.

"No need, I can do it myself!"

As he spoke, the man unbuttoned his shirt, squatted down, grabbed the corner of the washing machine, and with a forceful lift, he lifted the entire washing machine off his shoulders.

The man's strong, muscular physique instantly bulged as he carried the washing machine directly toward the military vehicle not far from the stage.

"Wow, my husband is amazing!"

Upon hearing his wife's praise, Fu Yuanzheng straightened his back even more!

Everyone around looked over in shock!

"Commander Fu is incredibly strong! He lifted the washing machine all by himself!"

"Commander Fu has a really good physique! I heard he gets first place in the army's long marches and competitions every year!"

"No wonder your sister-in-law likes Commander Fu so much. Don't you think Commander Fu is showing off a lot today?"

……

Amidst everyone's admiration, Fu Yuanzheng placed the washing machine in the back of the military vehicle, secured it in place, and then got into the vehicle with Lu Yao.

The two headed towards the Fu family's residence.

In the car, Lu Yao's little mouth never stopped.

"Honey, with this washing machine, washing clothes for our baby will be so much easier!"

"I wonder if Dad has gone home yet? Let's go home when he gets back. I miss my baby so much!"

"Oh dear, I forgot to mention, we haven't bought a bed yet. Should we go home and discuss with Mom and Dad whether we should have one delivered or just buy a new one?"

……

Before long, we arrived at our doorstep.

Lu Yao got out of the car and waited for Fu Yuanzheng. Fu Yuanzheng went to the car and carried the washing machine down.

The two entered the house and saw Fu Jianguo sitting under the crabapple tree in the yard.

"Dad, you're back! Look, this is the prize I won in the military song competition today!"

When Fu Jianguo saw Fu Yuanzheng carrying the washing machine in, he came over to take a look.

Fu Yuanzheng placed the washing machine in the yard.

The father and son started studying the washing machine.

Fu Jianguo: "Your mom has wanted this washing machine for a long time, I didn't expect Yaoyao to get it!"

The Fu family used to have a nanny, so they never had to worry about laundry.

A while ago, something happened at home, and we almost had to go to the countryside. We also had to dismiss our nanny.

Chen Manzhen washed them by hand for a while.

After the birth of Wubao, although there was a nanny to help out, there were many children in the family, so she also helped with washing clothes and taking care of the children.

With five young children, changing their clothes and diapers frequently is quite a burden.

Lu Yao: "When I saw the prizes for the competition, I decided I had to win them back for my mom!"

Fu Jianguo: "Great, great, your mom will be so happy to hear this!"

Lu Yao: "Dad, let's go home now!"

Fu Jianguo nodded; he also missed his five grandchildren!

So the three of them quickly packed their things, got into the car, and headed towards the military dependents' home in Beijing.

Chen Manzhen was very happy to receive the call and learn that Lu Yao and the others were going back today.

However, they returned overnight, arriving home at 11 p.m.!

By this time, the babies were already asleep.

Zhao Weihong and Chen Manzhen were still chatting, waiting for them.

Suddenly, a car horn sounded outside the door.

Zhao Weihong put down what she was holding: "Mother-in-law, has she arrived?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Manzhen immediately stood up.

"Finally back!"

Then, the two arrived at the door and saw Lu Yao and the other two getting out of the car.

Lu Yao greeted the two mothers at the door, "Mom, we're back!"

Yang Weihong hurried over to see her daughter: "You're finally back! Let Mom see you. You seem to have gained a little weight these past few days."

Lu Yao was stunned. He'd gained weight?

She touched her face; this was the result of her hard work in losing weight!

"Really?"

Lu Yao looked at Fu Yuanzheng reproachfully: "It's all my husband's fault! His cooking is so delicious, I accidentally ate a little too much!"

Fu Yuanzheng smiled but remained silent; he did hope that Lu Yao would eat more.

Zhao Weihong was very satisfied. It seemed that sending Lu Yao to the military region to pick up Fu Yuanzheng was the right decision!

Chen Manzhen: "You're finally back! Let's go inside and talk!"

Lu Yao missed her babies: "I'm going to see them first, I miss them so much!"

Lu Yao went to the north room excitedly, where five Fu Bao were sleeping in a row on the big bed.

When Lu Yao saw this, her heart melted.

"Baby, Mommy's home!"

Lu Yao didn't wake the babies, but she bent down and kissed each one of them.

Fu Yuanzheng also came in. Lu Yao kissed the five babies, her brows furrowing slightly.

He... wanted it too!
