After sleeping, Ye Xingchen felt much better, but Luo Lan wouldn't let her get up, and even brought the boiled brown sugar water to the bedside to feed her. Ye Xingchen quickly took the bowl and said, "Aunt Luo,
I can just do it myself."
Luo Lan nodded and warned, "Drink it while it's hot."
"Yeah." Ye Xingchen obediently drank a whole bowl of brown sugar water. After a while, his whole body felt warm, his lower abdomen felt much better, and the strange throbbing pain seemed to have improved.
Luo Lan saw that her face was no longer so pale, and finally felt relieved, "Xingchen, you must pay special attention these days. The first menstrual period after the miscarriage is different from usual, but this is a good thing, it means that your body has
A new metabolism has started and the normal ovulation-ovulation function of women has been restored. If everything is normal, it will be no problem to have children in the future, so you must not catch a cold these days and have a good rest, you know?"
"I know." Ye Xingchen said gratefully. Although she studied medicine and understood many principles, it was not as good as someone to care about and give advice. Aunt Luo took care of her in this way, which made her feel very warm.
Luo Lan smiled sweetly and bitterly. She just didn't want her tragedy to happen to anyone else, especially a poor child like Xingchen who lost his parents at a young age. It would be a pity if he could no longer have children of his own.
Although she already has Sisi, it would be even more perfect if she could have another one.
What Lou Xi said on the playground today was heartbreaking and sad to hear. She knew that they must all want to have another child to make up for the loss, but there were some things that she, a person who had experienced it, still needed to point out.
"Xingchen, we are all women, and I don't treat you as an outsider, so I can't say anything. Don't be embarrassed. You and Lou Xi...it's better for you to have another child after a while. I'll treat you like that."
Good, it’s good for the children, you know what I mean?”
Ye Xingchen's face turned red, nodded, and said shyly, "I understand, thank you Aunt Luo."
Luo Lan meant to give them temporary contraception. Although this was quite embarrassing, it made her feel cared about by her mother. Just like in ancient times, before her daughter got married, her mother would give her some instructions about the boudoir.
Only a mother and daughter can say this kind of thing, and it is so embarrassing but it is particularly heart-warming.
Luo Lan patted her hand happily, stood up and left. Ye Xingchen noticed the moment she turned around, her eyes turned red.
I can't help but feel a sense of sourness in my heart. I really don't understand why there are so many differences between people in the world. There are women like Aunt Luo who want children but can't, but there are also women like Kong Man who gave birth to Sisi but left her behind.
There are so many women who don't care, and there are so many women who casually go to the hospital to have abortions. How can everyone's ideas about the meaning of life be so different?
I got up gently and went to the bathroom again. Suddenly I found that the pants I had changed out of before had not been washed and were stained with blood. It would be difficult to wash them if I waited until tomorrow. However, Aunt Luo had warned not to touch cold water, and there was no washing machine here...
...I thought about it and went to the kitchen to boil hot water.
Not long after, the scent of washing powder wafted out of the bathroom. The soiled pants were quickly washed for the first time, and just as they were about to be washed for the second time, there was a sudden sound on the door, and Ye Xingchen subconsciously raised his head.
"What are you doing?" Lou Xi suddenly shouted nervously, as if to blame.
Ye Xingchen was startled and hesitated, "Wash... wash clothes..."
Lou Xi frowned immediately and said in a deep voice, "You can't touch cold water!"
"I use..." Ye Xingchen was just about to explain that he washed with hot water, but before he could finish speaking, Lou Xi immediately strode over, rolled up his sleeves, and put his hands in the basin, "I'll do it.
"
Ye Xingchen immediately opened his eyes wide, as if in disbelief, what did he, he, he... say?
The sound of rushing water answered her question. Lou Xi put in a basin of cold water and rubbed her pants. Although it was already the second time and he was just rinsing off the foam of the washing powder, she still felt it was too embarrassing.
!
"I... boiled the hot water, I can just do it myself..." She quickly tried to grab it back, but it seemed it was too late, he had almost finished washing it!
She could only be glad that she had just finished washing her underwear and had already exposed it, otherwise... Oh my God, what happened to him? Not only did he help her borrow sanitary napkins, but he also helped her wash her clothes?
"Lou Xi...you are a colonel, you have to pay attention to your identity..." she reminded tactfully.
"Can't the Colonel do laundry?"
Ye Xingchen suddenly muffled his voice, feeling very embarrassed, and hesitantly said, "That's not true...it's just...you just wash your own..."
The second half of her sentence was drowned in the sound of rushing water. He just finished washing, poured the water away, took the clothes hanger, and walked straight to the balcony.
Ye Xingchen froze on the spot. After being stunned for a few seconds, he turned to look in the direction of the balcony. His tall figure was so dazzling under the sunlight, and the action of drying clothes was full of gentle domineering.
She walked out of the bathroom and saw two plastic bags piled at the entrance. They were full of beef, chicken, longan, wolfberry, milk, eggs, carrots, apples... and fish.
These are all warming and tonic things.
Although she hadn't eaten yet, her heart seemed to be tightly filled with something.

After the commendation meeting, the next two days are Saturday and Sunday. This weekend is novel for Ye Xingchen and Lou Xi. This is the first time they spend the weekend in the army. In the past, Ye Xingchen spent the weekend in the new house.
Li takes the lead in cooking and so on, and Lou Xi helps with other housework, but this time it is completely different. Ye Xingchen's task is to stay in bed and rest, and at most he can play with Sisi for a while, while Lou Xi takes care of everything at home.
The four seasons in Yunchuan City are not very distinct. Although it is almost December, the weather is still not cold and occasionally a little hot. Ye Xingchen, who grew up in Beijing, is not used to this southern climate and is originally afraid of it.
She is so hot that she has to stay in bed all day long. Not only is she covered with a thick quilt, she also has a hot water bag on her lower abdomen. She also drinks bowl after bowl of brown sugar water, so she is sweating every day.
She had to change her pajamas in the morning and evening, otherwise they would always be wet. Needless to say, Lou Xi wouldn't let her wash them by herself, so he took care of it all.
Ye Xingchen felt embarrassed, so naturally he didn't want to, but couldn't resist him, so he could only secretly wash his underwear every day when he went downstairs. As for his pajamas and other things, he left them to him to wash.
As for Sisi's clothes, Lou Xi is also responsible for them. This is not very difficult. He has been taking care of Sisi for a long time, so he is very good at it. But that was in the past. There used to be only dad, so Sisi felt that
Dad is good at everything, but since having mom, dad's shortcomings have been fully exposed. Dad and mom are completely different!
No matter how careful Lou Xi is, he is a big man after all, and he is also a soldier who is used to holding a gun. On weekdays, he washes his training uniforms, and his hands are very strong, because the training uniforms are very thick, so during training
It was very dirty after all the fussing and rolling, and it couldn’t be washed clean without using force. But it was Sisi’s small clothes, and it was inappropriate to wash them with such force. How could a thin lace skirt be washed like this?
During the training and clothing comparison, after rubbing it with my big hands a few times, my little skirt was in terrible shape.
Sisi blinked her eyes and wrinkled her little face, as if she was about to cry. She hadn’t worn the new clothes her mother had bought for her a few times!
"Mama... look at dad... all the washing has been ruined... wu wu..." the little girl complained very aggrievedly.
"Ahem... Sisi, good boy, daddy will buy you new ones!" Lou Xi also felt a little embarrassed. He had damaged a lot of them before, but the little girl didn't say anything. Why are you so pretentious now?
Sisi's mouth was flat and she didn't say a word, but she was still unhappy.
Lou Xi fished out another short-sleeved shirt from the water. The short-sleeved shirt was a cartoon version with a little white rabbit on the chest. The little white rabbit was holding a carrot in its hand, and the carrot was decorated with a bunch of green feathers.
, like carrot tassels, but now...the carrot tassels have fallen off, the little white rabbit is about to cry, and Sisi is about to cry too.
"Wow..." The little girl was so distressed that tears fell down.
"Sisi, be good, be good, don't cry, don't cry. Dad didn't ruin your clothes on purpose. Stop crying. Be good!" Ye Xingchen quickly coaxed, and Lou Xi was also startled and hurriedly got into the water.
After fishing out a few handfuls, he took out the bunch of feathers, shook off the water drops, and brought them to Sisi. He coaxed awkwardly, "Sisi, be good, don't cry. Look, the feathers are here. They're not missing. Wait a minute."
Dad will sew it on for you, eh?"
Sisi was so angry that her face turned red, and she was speechless for a long time. She just stared at him with her round eyes, two lines of tears hanging pitifully on her face, and after a long time she uttered a few words, "Mama seam!"
"
Lou Xi was very frustrated and handed the feather to Ye Xingchen's hand, and the little girl stopped crying.
Ye Xingchen couldn't help but laugh, patted Sisi's little shoulder, and then asked deliberately, "Sisi, tell mom, who bullied you?"
Sisi's little shoulders were twitching, and she was embarrassed to say it was her father. Ye Xingchen held her little hand, pointed at Lou Xi, and asked, "Is it him?"
The little girl's mouth was flat and she wanted to cry a little bit.
Ye Xingchen narrowed his eyes and pretended to be angry, "Sisi, don't cry. Mom will avenge you. Let's punish him to stand in a military posture, okay?"
"Yes!" Sisi nodded vigorously. If you do something wrong, you will be punished, and dad is no exception!
Lou Xi was speechless. He, a colonel with two stripes and three stars, was forced to stand in a military posture because he ruined the little girl's clothes?
"Why don't you stand up quickly? How can a colonel be so unorganized and disciplined?" Ye Xingchen said deliberately and sternly, secretly glancing at the little girl's expression and already starting to laugh!
Lou Xi cooperated and stood at attention, but with a bit of performance, standing very tall and straight, but also funny. Sisi laughed out loud, and her big tearful eyes turned into crescent moons.
Ye Xingchen also smiled, hugged the little girl and kissed her again and again.
Lou Xi looked at the mother and daughter laughing together, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. He was punished for the first time in all his years as a soldier, but he was so willing to do so, and an indescribable sweetness spread in his chest.

At night, when it's time to sleep well, because the master bedroom faces the sun, this room has already become Sisi's bedroom. In order to bask in the sun during the day, Ye Xingchen has been resting in the master bedroom, so he naturally sleeps here at night. Originally,
Lou Xi, who was supposed to sleep in the guest room opposite, came uninvited and the family of three shared a big bed.
The three of them said good night to each other. Ye Xingchen kissed Sisi, Sisi kissed Lou Xi, and Lou Xi kissed Ye Xingchen. Her face suddenly felt hot, but she held back her shyness and returned the kiss.
He kissed him once, and then he kissed Sisi, and finally Sisi kissed Ye Xingchen again, back and forth twice, and the goodnight kiss for the family of three finally ended in a sweet moment.
Sisi lay happily in the middle of the big bed, with her father on one side and her mother on the other. She fell asleep happily, but she didn't know that every time she fell asleep, her father would move her away and move her to the side of the bed.
.
Ye Xingchen heard the rustling sound coming from his ears again, and his breathing tightened subconsciously. The next second, just like the previous night, a big hand stretched out, gently raised her head, and let her
Resting on his arm, his warm breath came, domineering yet gentle, the hot body temperature roasting her but not making her feel uncomfortable.
Lou Xi's other arm was holding Sisi. He was actually a little worried that the little girl would fall, but he wanted to take care of Xingchen, so he could only work harder, tighten his arms, and hug the little girl tightly.
In the night, a smile appeared on her thin lips and she fell asleep peacefully.
The night passed, and it was a new day, and the joy of the day continued to repeat itself.
◎◎◎
Happy days always pass by quickly. In the blink of an eye, the happy weekend is gone and Monday comes.
Lou Xi began to return to his normal schedule. Ye Xingchen originally wanted to leave the army, but her menstruation was not over yet, and Lou Xi was worried about her leaving.
Luo Lan also kept her here. She was still on vacation anyway, so she might as well wait until she was completely recovered before leaving.
Sisi was quite willing to stay in the military camp.
Ye Xingchen thought it was okay, but she had to call Shu Rao, but cell phone calls were restricted in the army. Luo Lan applied for her, went through the process according to the rules, and gave her half an hour to talk.
After dialing Shu Rao's number, you can imagine how angry she was. She kept yelling that this was a kidnapping or something. Ye Xingchen couldn't laugh or cry. After comforting her for a while, Shu Rao was willing to give up. After all, no matter how unhappy she was, she still wanted to
Taking care of Xingchen's body, he couldn't afford to be careless in the critical days.
The two chatted for more than 20 minutes. Shu Rao's cell phone ran out of battery before ending the call.
Ye Xingchen looked at the time. There were still a few minutes left. If he didn't call, he felt like he wasted this rare opportunity. But if he called, he didn't know who to call. He looked through his address book and suddenly saw the word "craftsmanship".
She suddenly felt depressed, bit her lip, and dialed the number.
The phone rang several times before someone picked it up. Maybe the other party was a little hesitant, but finally picked it up.
Ye Xingchen rarely took the initiative to find someone to argue with. He thought about a lot of lines before dialing the phone, but after the call, he didn't know what to say. However, he didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to speak, and he apologized as soon as he spoke, "Ms. Ye
, I’m sorry, I did sell that badge to someone else.”
After the other party apologized like this, Ye Xingchen didn't know what to do, but the doubts in his heart still existed, "Boss, didn't we agree before? If you want to sell, you will contact me first, and I don't think you are doing it because of money.
question, right?”
The boss smiled bitterly, thanked her for her understanding and trust, and then said, "Miss Ye, I told you that the badge is not mine, but my mother's. My mother is a military wife, and my father was a child when I was young.
I sacrificed my life when I was young. My mother wanted to give my father that badge, but there was no chance. She kept it since then, saying that she would not sell it easily and would only sell it to the right person.
"
"A destined person?" Ye Xingchen's hand holding the fuselage tightened slightly. Is Jing Sa the destined person?
"A Miss Jing found my mother. She told my mother her own story. She had liked a man for many years. He was also a soldier. They grew up together. She left her hometown for that man, but that man never stopped.
Even they refused to accept her. She went abroad for three years, but she still couldn't forget him. But when she came back, the man told her that he was married, and she was very sad... My mother was moved by her story, even though she destroyed other people's families.
It was wrong, but my mother still sold the badge to her, saying that it would be a good thing to grant her a wish..."
Toot toot—
When the time came, the other party's words stopped abruptly. Ye Xingchen silently put down the phone and turned off the phone.
Walking to the desk and gently opening the drawer, she saw that the badge was still in its original position, placed casually, while the handkerchief she gave him was neatly folded and placed next to it.
In the most conspicuous position.
She raised her lips slightly, but actually, it didn't matter what she gave.
